The first batch of Chinese made F-7 fighters purchased by the Nigeria Airforce is due to arrive the country early next year, Daily Trust learnt in Abuja yesterday.

A source in the Nigeria Airforce (NAF), who spoke exclusively to Daily Trust, said that already, the Airforce and the manufacturers of the fighter aircraft in China are fine tuning the process of acquisition of the F-7s. Daily Trust also learnt that some Nigeria Airforce pilots will soon be sent to China for training on the F-7 fighter plane.

The source did not reveal the number of fighter planes expected, as he said the Russian made Mig 21 jets which have been used by the NAF for decades are now being completely phased out, hence the need for the Chinese made jets.
"We are expecting the first batch of F-7 fighter planes from China in the early quarters of 2009. We can not say how many they are going to be, but we expect them to be about ten in number," the source revealed.

Liedetect:

I know what you mean. You're like a sort of ignorant arrogant native laughing uproariously at the ridiculous man who tells him about the consept of aeroplanes.

Actually, the weapons posted if anything are too sophisticated for the purpose for which they were bought, which is warfare in the African theatre. The corruption that exists in arms procurement is another argument. In fact, I don’t believe I’m stretching credibility to any great extent by suggesting that most black African armies would struggle against a European first world war force. In most black African wars, Nigeria need only employ well-trained men, logistics, rifles and sam-pipes.

The F-7/J-7 is an upgraded version of the Soviet MiG-21 interceptor, with modernized avionics and weapons and a slight cranked-wing configuration.

And I am wondering if Cameroon will count as an African theatre, when their gernderm murdered 17 Nigerian civilians in a cold blood in Bakassi with any response from you well equipt military.

ariblaze:


the average soldier may not be technical

but physically dominating

no fancy weapons, but effective on the job

during peace operations the fear of the Nigerians is the beginning of wisdom

we terrorized the rebels so much in sierra loane, that they went looking for nigerian citizens

every country has it setbacks
