keep displaying your ignorance for everybody to see,u are the one that made the statement below

"[s]While the Chinese use American and European Planes in their airforce[/s]"

so keep blustering and think ppl will forget the ignorant statement u made. . . .u just feel to contribute to something u know absolutely nothing about,but of-course its the nairaland way,

Check my post, there is no such comment - its a figment of your imagination But this is what happens when you are drunk.

Since when did an unemployed, wanna-be rapper like you become an expert on Millitary issues? You was an expert in Finance last week in your dreams

Nigeria buys F-7 fighters from CHINA
12 WERE ORDERED and the first batch was delivered in mid- 2009,this is what the fighters look like below. .

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.

Some of those jets have strange flag markers. Look at the interceptors. Are they really Nigerian.

You pictures are fine  but they sure raise the question" Can Nigerian forces stand  the competition such as say Cameroon or Ghana. Clearly with the weaponry you showcase here, one would think that  Nigerian military is is designed as a scare crow prop to buttress the  "giant of Africa" image.

Where did you get the pictures of the 40 yr old veteren - the general ?
Is he the person in the next picture with the beret on ?, he looks so much like someone
i used to know when i was much younger, he was based in port harcourt in the 70's.

CHENGDU F7NI AIRGUARD (12 INTERCEPTORS, +3 TRAINER VARIANTS)




^^^^^^^^^^THESE ARE THE FIGHTER JETS WE GOT FROM THE CHINESE,they are more advanced than the Migs the soviets and most eastern european states fly,and can hold thier own against an F-16,in defense of airspace,they form the bedrock of chinese air-to air, defense system

Now you clearly show yourself as knowing absolutely NOTHING! How can you claim that the MiG-21 cloned F-7 is 'more advanced' than the SU-30s, Su-27s, MiG-29s et al that Russia and most of the Eastern bloc countries fly? The F-7 cannot be comparable to an F-16 in any way. Haba!

The Chinese have long since moved on to F-8, 9, and 10 as well as other 4th generation ultra modern fighters. All the F-7 is used for now is as a mass aerial deterrent since the sheer number of F-7s employed by the chinese is enough to make life extremely difficult for few ultra-modern aircraft. For primary air superiority, the F-7 has long been superseded by several generations of Chinese planes.

You're just an ignorant person awestruck by simple things. It's people like you that keep Nigeria back from progressing, happily gobbling down the sop thrown at you. You can only make a change when you question things, which i why you people crying about 'unpatriotism' are extremely pathetic.

Let that fellow from the NDA tell us why homeless palestinians can build homemade rockets (Qassam I and Qassam II) yet Nigeria cannot. Ask him when Nigeria started making ordinary Mortars.

Exactly. I didn't want to get bogged down with an ignorant person vigorously propagating ridiculous inacuraries, so I left the thread. . . MIG 21 equivalent to F16 ---shakes head and wonders if that means the infinitely better, but dated MIG 25 is an intergalactic shuttle. . .---
The army deserves better than these old castaways.

As for the "patriotic" cheerleaders, well. . .

sigh, the f7-N1 is superior than the migs,the migs is an older technology,its easy google it and see,they are pretty much the same planes anyway,since the chinese built their version off the migs,but this version is more advanced with avionics and maneuverability,
now if u read my post,i never said sukhov(SU),the sukhov are russias newest fighters so they should be more powerful than both the migs and the f7n1

well the f-16 has never come into combat with one of these so lets keep the conjecture to a minimum,however,if u are defending your airspace like the chinese,these planes can do the job,otherwise they wont form the backbone of chinese air defense against both the u.s and russia
no people like u prefer to buy big toys with no use,u want to spend $300million for one f-16,but there is no enemy to fight
who are we going to use the f-16 against,south africa?,chad?ghana?
come back and tell me who is patrotic now,i say this is a perfect jet for nigerias defensive needs
we are not doing any bombing raids on any city anytime soon,so we should not be wasting money
but again get off my thread and my di*ck,if u want an f-16 go pony up the money for it

u do know the u.s is moving away from f-16s,and unto f-22 and joint strike fighter raptor
the f-16 is not a new plane,it was first introduced in the 1980s
i know anytime you hear about the U.S u water in your panties. . .lol,but relax,all it has undergone over the years is upgrades to its computers and so on
its in the same generation as the migs,and they have not really come into direct combat,so u cant say which is superior

finally if u dont like my thread,why do u keeep getting pulled back to post on here?
am sure u know i dont post on all the threads on nairaland,esp the ones i claim i dont like. . .

You seem to have a thing about di.cks and panties. . . Or is your di.ck very small?       
Sorry, you're talking above your head. A plane from 1962 cannot be compared to any modern plane. Period!
As to the silly question of who it could be used against, well we love to compare ourselves with South Africa (as you've foolishly done above); South Africa has 26 JAS 39 Gripen fighter planes. . . Now, that is an F16 equivalent; in fact Denmark is contemplating replacing its 48 F16's with the JAS 39; The Netherlands is choosing between the JAS 39 and F-35 (do you even know what an F-35 is?).

Behold the JAS 39 Gripen fighter (and shut up).
