Yes dodo it was a test flight during an air show, why do think they were criticized so much after this crash?

And go watch the video I posted, at 0.22min the Gripen preforms a 9G manoeuver.


Test flight is test flight, air show is air show. Real test flights are done under strict test conditions and NOT in civilian areas with public watching.

Fool art thou !

NIGERIAN ARMY AVIATION WING: CHIEF OF ARMY STAFF CHARGES STUDENT PILOTS TO BE READY FOR ACTION.

WorldStage Newsonline
25 June 2015

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. General Kenneth Minimah has charged Nigerian Army student pilots to be ready to work and live with troops wherever operational exigency demands without any thought of leaving their chosen line of flying combat helicopters.

According to a statement, the COAS gave the charge while addressing student pilots undergoing helicopter flying training at the International Helicopter Flying School, Enugu.
In his words “You should all be ready to at all times live and work with troops wherever operational exigency demands. You should also banish all thoughts of leaving your chosen line of flying combat helicopters. The Nigerian Army will not train you and afterwards allow you to branch out to other arms or services on flimsy excuses.”

Speaking during his assessment visit to the 10 Nigerian Army student officers at the School, the COAS stated that he was pleased to hear that the students were doing well and encouraged them to put in their utmost best in all written and practical aspects of the course to ensure their graduation. He informed the students that they will form the nucleus of the newly established Nigerian Army Aviation Wing.

The COAS further revealed that the Nigerian Army established its Aviation Wing to complement the Nigerian Air Force based on the experiences gathered fighting terrorists in the North Eastern region where gaps in air support leading to reverses brought to fore the need for combat helicopters to provide intimate support to troops.This means apart from support from the Nigerian Air Force, the Nigerian Army will have its own air support element that will always be with the ground troops and readily provide air support whenever required.

The COAS informed the students that the Army will ensure their accommodation, hangar and all necessary facilities are put in place before their graduation. He also expressed the resolve of the Nigerian Army in ensuring that the Service gets the issue of establishing the Army Aviation Wing right as opposed to several failed attempts in the past.

The COAS was accompanied by the General Officer Commanding 82 Division Major General Shehu Yusuf and the Chief of Staff to the COAS Brigadier General Solomon Udounwa. He was received by the Air Secretary Air Vice Marshal CN Chukwu, the Commander 305 Helicopter Group, Air Commodore I Yahaya and the Rector, International Helicopter Flying School, Group Captain Ayo Jolasinmi.


Nigeria becomes one of the few armies in the world with an aviation wing of army aircraft.

I think we might have bought the Eurocopter gunship for the army, but we only see them with NAF.

Also, NA may have inducted Gazelles and Hueys armed with pintle mount HMG.

The Eurocopters will be a force multiplier with rocket pods.

Some CH-3 armed missile drones should also be given to the army.

Congrats to Nigerian army, one of the most modern in Africa now !

Some Soweto iidiots say we are broke, yet we just opened a full airwing for our army with fleet of new helicopters ! ANC made Zulus foolz grin

Gripen in that instance was flown by a test pilot

1. You are literally broke
2. Having an army aviation wing is not "advanced" and for a small underfunded military it is a massive blunder - proven by the fact that the Nigerian army has tried to do it before and failed

Argentina does - after they got turned down for the Grip e/f they then turned to the Grip C/D - only when SAAB (read: England) refused the sale did they consider the JF-17

[size=20pt]South Korea commemorates South African airmen - calls them "our hero's" [/size]

The Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to South Africa, His Excellency Choi Yeon-ho, said that he would like to “express our deepest gratitude to our heroes, the Korean War veterans, for their sacrifice and contribution.”

When war broke out in Korea, the Union Government announced on 4 August 1950 its intention to place an all-volunteer South African Air Force (SAAF) squadron at the disposal of the United Nations.

2 Squadron, whilst equipped with Mustangs, flew 10,373 sorties and out of a total of 95 Mustangs acquired, no fewer than 74 were lost due to enemy action and accidents. Twelve Mustang pilots were killed in action, 30 missing and four wounded. A further 2,032 sorties were flown in Sabres jets, with four Sabres lost out of 22 supplied.
