zukasteve , DerKaiser and all of you attacking Sirshymexx are actually the ignorant ones here.

He made a valid point. Only few drones can carry anti tank weapons because of the payload weight (They are usually deployed on Helicopters, APC or in person). Apart from the Hell fire missile used the the predator drone, there are few drones capable of doing the same.

Now its either the "drone" in the video is hitting a normal vehicle or the title of the video is not real.

It looks more like a surveillance drone and the explosion looks more like an IED. Even anti tank missile wouldn't have that huge explosive radius on a tank and a tank cant be as fast as it was seen in that video from that altitude.

zukasteve:
i was the first to state that fact in our military discussion thread.

Henry120:


No, that shymexx guy is a bloody retarrd. Zukasteve, derkasier et al, made very valid/sound points.

The VBIED had a secondary explosion after the initial projectile from the CH-3A hit the jihadist vehicle.

The CH-3A carries two AR-1 ATGM's. The flow of debris moving forward also shows something from above and not a tank shell hit the VBIED.

It's a simple matter really.

ichidodo:
Ok you are the first...happy?.

emmatok:


Thats not a drone, you can notice a shadow movement in the background.
And the bombed vehicle is too flat to be a Tank.

zukasteve:
last time you checked? you re a very foolish person? where do you check this things from? even boys in the defence ministry or armed forces have not completely seen all the assets in the nigerian armed forces inventory.

Missy89:


The topic clearly states that it was a boko haram tank which is very false.

Now AR1 missiles on CH -3 drones are armed by TV guided missiles which means that can only hit precision stationary targets. The AR1 cannot handle other types of guidance systems because the radars are usually too heavy for the drones to carry. So there is no way to put a heat seeking missle AR1 on a drone.

Now when you say that an antitank missile can have a huge explosion like that if it was propped up by inflammables, that can be true but it was clear that the target in the video had one direct impact. A situation that would lead to that kind of explosion if it was an anti tank missile will take several seconds after the first hit for other inflamables in the tank to fully explode and not the first hit since most antitank missles have very small armor penetrating radius

You may want to remove the question man at the 'foolish person' sentence, makes it sound senseless..

And yeah, I never claimed to know the full arsenal of the Nigerian Army, but I know that they have surveillance drones they they allegedly bought from Israrel because they announced it when they bought them. So based on that, I don't know them to own armed drones. There have been no information whatsoever of Nigeria manufacturing, buying nor leasing armed drones from anywhere.

And you may want to ease up on the insults, me and you no dey drag woman..

SirShymexx:
Missy89,

Bwahahahaha. You have got time for these stark illiterates.

Just a mere look at the focal point of the coordinate shows that it wasn't even on target before the object was hit. Pray tell me how that happened?

These loutish and primeval apes don't even deserve a reply. Their brain cells are as primitive and obsolete as the Nigerian army gears and the alpha jets. Fvcking bonobos!

zukasteve:
oh! dude. i dont give an F. when you talk stup1d. you get corrected like a stup1d person. i fit buy beer for guy wey dey follow me drag woman but i for one dont tolerate stup1dity

Now these are the Nigerian drones I know of and its not an armed drone..

DerKaiser:


Olodo. What do you know about military hardwares? Pathetic armchair military analysts and failed wannabe rapper.

Do you have any idea what a target lock means? Drones and Jet fighters do not need to keep their crosshair on a locked target to hit it.

They acquire targets electronically and then let off the missiles which follows the targets using heat-seeking technology.

The crosshair following that vehicle was just monitoring its movement until the missile hits after which you can clearly see it retract its surveillance camera.

Use your brain for once sometimes before making silly comments or ignore topics you have no idea of.

Revolution:
LOl . This is not Borno nor Yobe nor Adamawa, certainly not the far north of Nigeria just by looking at the terrain and vegetation. Fake video by desperate PDP. If Nigeria Airforce sabi use armed missiles then why has Boko Haram been so successful at claiming territories and moving in convoys without being challenged.

obsolete gears that are being used to secure your stup1d a55

your just messing your own argument up. if there is no way to put a heat seeking missile on a drone then what do you put on it?

SirShymexx:


Flaming faggit, so in ya obtuse mind, the shifting coordinate, with no target, actually shot something in that video? - hysterical. That's how collateral damage happens all the time.

Also, when did AR-1 become a tank-buster?

Err, aren't you the same stark illiterate I smashed to bits on the SA military thread in 2013? I'm shared you write better now, at least that's an improvement, you primeval duffer.

Air to ground missile = AGM or ATGM, you low life c.unt.

TANK BUSTER. i wish i could see this guy.

zukasteve:
how dumb can you be and yet you know how to write in english language. have you been living in a hole? what do you think a UAV is and what do you think a UCAV is? there is hardly any country in africa at present that doesnt operate at least a surveillance or just video coverage drones. the picture you saw ws blurry because Armed drones strike from very high altitude, therefore it takes the high capacity of the drones camera for you to even see anything. or havent you watched drone strikes by US predator drones?
if you listen to news as much as you soend time asking disputing facts you should know that a Armed chinese made drone crashed inside our borders the other week. if you think the drone is not for nigeria or if you think its for France then let me tell you now that the United states cannot make purchase a chinese made drone when they have dozens of more advanced drones in their military collection. France the same way cannot operate chinese made Drones because they get most of their Drones from European producers or the US. so are you telling us that its our francophone neighbours that have it? well france already have a drone base in chad to serve the interest of its former colonies.
so son, look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you re dull.

Onyiridike:
Buhari and his Northern muslim brothers who believe that Boko haram is fighting for their right MUST be very saddened by this news.

You ought to be in the core North to see how they jubilate each time Boko haram strike.

50calibre:


Lol I saw this late.

It's funny how a troglodyte like you thinks he can educate a vastly exposed & knowledgeable guy like myself....... Lol It's just laughable.

I'm really tired & in no mood to respond appropriately to this diatribe... However, the simple fact you must accept is that; Nigeria completely lacks the needed technological advancement & infrastructure to deal with the complexities of drone operations, this is an irrefutable reality.

These aren't the paper kites you fly in your backyard, these are unmanned arial vehicles loaded with missiles, no country in their right mind will sell Nigeria drones, doing so will be akin to handing a 6 year old child a grenade.

Sort out the basics first, like electricity, good roads etc before you start dreaming of belonging to the big league.

That pic may be from a drone strike (which I highly doubt) but definitely not a Nigerian drone.

SirShymexx:


Lol. These clowns are just idi.otic ultra nationalists who look more like trolls.

The gif/video/vine on the first page clearly shows that the focal point on the coordinate wasn't even on that before the object was hit. And that alone shows that drone didn't hit anything.

However, these folks are just so stupid that, in a haste to spout vacuous nonsense, they googled, they keep citing rubbish. One even cited heat seeking missile as laser-guided missile - hysterical. When it's not a manpad nor air-to-air missile.
