if these are the formations your airforce operates,then i advice you never to go to war.all the formations,especially that of image 3,make me laugh,flying aircrafts so close together,if one of the aircrafts were to get bombed either in the rear or in the flanks,the whole formation would go into disarray,infact the other aircrafts could also blown up due to detonation blast range.i'd wager they are flown by recruits.


dull head those are just ceremonial formation.

hahahhaha, some ramshackle Cessna's that raeped your airforce on the ground (and you didnt get any air-to-air kills)
Chad?
How is Chad superior to the Luftwaffe, Russian, North Korean or Cuban pilots?
My statement stands, Nigeria has never engaged in air-to-air combat. No nigerian pilot has ever shot down an enemy aircraft.
This guy. What a joke.
fool.biafra never r@ped our airforce into the ground.infact,most of biafran aircrafts were blown into sugarcandy mountain in the first months of the war.nigeria has never shot down an enemy aircraft?.clown.

Since soldiers also drill during ceremonies, do you expect them to drill as well during a heated battle. Nope, there is also another different formation for that called battle formation.


Nigeria has never experienced air to air combat throughout its existence.

Yeah, so that huge bump on his chest is not at all from the armor plate in his chest-rig? Or the side straps used to fasten it together?

Look at picture two, the two men on the left are wearing the same plate-carriers.

So you have now reached the point where you deny what is clearly visible in photographs?

Is it the fact that SANDF body armor matches our camouflage that is throwing you off?

NATO strike on Libya, led by USA not Sweden, few Gripens dropped a few bombs after NATO led by America neutralized Libyan air defences, NO Libyan SAM missile or AAA gun was fired at the Gripen and NO Libyan airforce jet intercepted to engage the Gripen.

NAF Alpha jets have fought against heavy enemy anti-aircraft fire, 1,000 times more battle tested than Gripen jets

FACT !!
.
Lack of information revealed again.

SwAF Gripens flew reccon missions, as they weren't allowed to engage targets.

The MIG-21 has been used in many conflicts, but the F-22 raptor which isn't tested in air to air combat can bring the MIG-21 down without breaking a sweat.

During the war, Nigerian air attacks were directed only against civilian targets and had no military significance.

The Biafrans had pilots, but very few aircraft. They had two B-25 Mitchells and one B-26 Marauder, which was captured on the ground as it was unservicable. Later on they got another B-26, which during Oct - Dec were used for night raids together with the B-25s and a converted DC-3. The B-26 and DC-3 crashed, the B-25s were captured on the ground.

In the spring of 1969 five MFI-9Bs were assembled in Gabon, painted in two green colours (Volkswagen car paint) in three large fields, given simple sights and two pods for six 68 mm anti-armour rockets, and given an extra fuel tank in the fuselage. They were named "Biafra Babies". At first, the squadron had three Swedish pilots and three Biafran.

Stats for the first 29 attacks:



432 rockets fired, more than 50% hitting targets. No own aircraft
or pilots lost.

Destroyed damaged
MiG-17 3 2
Il-28 1
Canberra 1 1
Intruder 1
2 eng.transport 1
Helicopters 2 1
Trucks 7
Radar 1
ATC tower 1 1
Terminal bldgs 2
Power plant 1
Amm. storage 1
Headquarters 3
AAA 2
Oil pump station 1
Enemy losses: 300 men at airports, 200 men at the front

Incomplete data, Nigeria bought Bofors artillery at different times and years, also delivery and manufacture dates are different, we got last Bofors in the year 2000s, long after South Africa got G-6 Rhino in the 1990s.

NAF Mi-35M Hind helicopters have FLIR and we posted the photos dozens of times here.

NAF can fire precision guided weapons if we buy Russian Ataka anti-tank missiles for use on our helicopters with FLIR.

Alpha jet is built by manufacturer to fire Maverick air to ground guided missiles is we install them, the systems are factory installed at time of purchase.

NAF has PGM capacity not being used
.
SA had FLIR cameras since the 80s.

Nigeria has no PGM(s).

Your pilots will first have to go to Russia to be qualified on those weapons. That's not the case in SA.
