Like it or not that a fact my friend. The is a new defence review document that the minister is promoting and to me and other soldiers across the country is very good to us. That's a job well done to our lady minister.

bidexiii:
That's a fucken LIE !!! Cause the said light attack jet is still under development and there is only one that as yet being produced - http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textron_AirLand_Scorpion.

mzilakazi:


So, if it is still under development it cannot be sold? You are still an amateur in matters of defence. Industries in defence do not make production in advance unless they receive an order because it might be risky. Defence industries do not run business like car manufactures. Cars are always in demand while fighters are not due to the cost involved of procurement.

Henry120:


So this is why you only have 8 qualified Gripen pilots for your fleet of 26 planes, since trainings and deliveries began.

Anyway, you're saying the same thing, as I am, only in a long needless manner.

In simply terms, you and the rest of your military personnel are simply to dull to qualify for anything. It's the same message your defence minister was passing across, only in a less hurtful manner.

Henry120:


The defence review that calls the military HIV ridden, and with the oldest Infantry troops in the world.

About that review, the document was completed in 2004, we are in 2014, 10 years on, you guys are still parrotting a non-existent review.

Goodluck with that, day dreamer.

ActivateKruger:


You're only buying 12 JF-17s..... buhahahah

mzilakazi:



Nah,!!! their air force is currently struggling to convince the government to procure squadron of scorpion fighters with the view of procuring more in future.

Henry120:


Oga, stop embarrassing yourself.

You don't buy a fighter which is still under development and untested.

ActivateKruger:


Sources say they will be getting 12 JF-17s from Pakistan end of November....

So much for the Su-30

Henry120:


Well, your defence minister did describe your military as burdened with an array of equipment it has no skill or technical knowledge to operate and maintain.

Henry120:

mzilakazi:



I thought you were referring to the source which I attached. By the way, SU-30 is better than JF-17.

ActivateKruger:


Yah, agububu was bragging about how their generals will acquire the Su-30 for their air force... It turns out they purchased the JF-17 and its only 12 of them.

patches689:


This guy doesn't even know when the reveiw was written or tabled

And yet feels entitled to comment on it!?!

Have you even read the document?

And implementation of then reveiw has already begun if you look at budget allocations for new equipment

Henry120:


Defenceweb is not a credible source.


Like i've stated previously, we are only evaluating the aircraft. We are buying it or any lethal equipment from America.

Henry120:


So when was the defence review originally written?

The guys who developed the scorpion said when they unveiled the plane that they were in advanced talks with the buyer

The plane is fully operational

They equipment you put on it is off the shelf

So yes, the second it was certified to fly in civilian airspace it was ready for sales

Hence why nigeria is desperate to buy them

bidexiii:
. NAF is not desperate to buy them, of a truth we need fourth generation jets to back up CION in the north east but @ d same time we will take our time to get d best,affordable and serviceabilty jets money would buy we,ve learn't our lesson from the jaguar sepecat . That was what I was telling someone what earlier this morning on the thread if no much country are not showing interest that means in no time they might be force to stop the production and making spare -parts rare! You would,nt want to fall into such situation the scorpion jets its new they started 2013 and right now on the U,S.A air guard is showing little or no interest and just of recent nigeria !

4th generation fighter will take you over seven (7) years for any Nigerian trained pilot and navigator to fly and combat effectively with that machine. It takes time to master weapon system, avionics, manuevrability, countermeasures and weaponry of 4th and 5th generation fighter machines. By that time, insurgency would have ravaged your country.
