The man has nothing to show, so he is going up & fown, recommissioning GEJ's failed, white elephant projects. One clueless leader following another clueless one. We are really in trouble in this country.. 2 Likes |

Whether GEJ developed a prototype or plastic is not the issue. Under GEJ the airforce developed THE FIRST EVER Drone that flew called GULMA from another call AMEBO. Tsaigumi is technically NOT the first indigenous Drone, but maybe the first indigenous model to be deployable in combat. TSAIGUMI may have been technically a step further than Gulma but its not the first. Simple. APC should not stretch the facts and PDP should not bend it also. The Air force is the winner here. Their tenacity and continuity in weapons development over the years is very commendable. I commend the Air force for maintaining the development tempo, GEJ for starting the project and PMB for giving the necessary support. I hope Ichoku comes on board soon so that we would not depend on the Chinese for drones. Here is the video of GULMA test flight 5 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX1L_AxHXXw 1 Like 1 Share |

sanpipita: Even a 1 dollar drone can fly and the word OPERATIONAL and able to fly are 2 different things. OPERATIONAL in this sense means OPERATIONAL in the battlefield. |

This same man who scammed Nigerians with a fake result is doing anything to sound relevant. A man who stole Obama's speech verbatim, commissioned a project earlier done by Obasanjo and now another done by Goodluck has shown that he can't be trusted. One day, he will commission Aso rock. 1 Like

sanpipita: Of course, operational means in operation via the battlefield. What PMB commissioned was cleared for operation by the Nigerian Aiforce and the president, so it's ready for battlefield operation and tey commissioned a command unit to go with it. |

obynzo: The Gulma & Amebo were never operational with the NAF. They were just prototypes used for development of the current one. You do know you need control rooms for UAVs apart from handheld mini-drones? The Gulma was never used operationally, it was the Chinese UAVs (CH-3). Show me a report of the Gulma being used for operations? You will only find test videos and demonstrations.. |

koladebrainiac:that something is non functional means it cannot be a prototype, that statement is clear proof that the army spokesman is a novice when it comes to production in engineering. if it was a prototype then it should be functional so u can see the flaws in design and correct them. 1 Like |

FarahAideed: I am afraid I am not the one being fooled. The Gulma was never commissioned as an operational UAV. Was never used to support troops in the battlefield by the NAF. The new one is going to now be mass produced being the final product. And for your info I support neither GEJ or PMB, just the NAF. |
Re: Buhari Commissions Air Force Drone Jonathan ‘Earlier Launched’ - PDP by ernieboy(m): 6:48pm On Feb 16, 2018 |
sanpipita:bro all drones are remote controlled hence it is called unmanned aerial vehicle. diesel simply refers to its power source. |

sanpipita: Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, said the NAF would develop another UAV, called Ichoku, which would be Nigeria’s first indigenous unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV). Tsaigumi UAV is a much more advanced and operationally ready version of the rubbish jona fooled us with. |

SONofnezzar:Besides the specs, Tsaigumi is for operational uses while Gulma lacks that capability. |

sanpipita: Earlier in his welcome address, the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal AS Badeh said that the UAV Gulma, could be used for both military and civilian purposes including patrol, surveillance, pipeline and weather monitoring, among others. From your own link, please show us where Badeh uttered the word certified operational for battlefield? You need to stop lying. |
