I also really commend El sisi for containing the issue. lybia & Tunisia today are busy fighting ISIL as a result of a war caused by the United States and NATO.
If the United States knew El sisi was going to be the kind of man he his today, they would av not allowed him to be in power.

There is a huge difference between the Egyptian elites/ruling class and their military. Their military is highly experienced, and very disciplined. They came in when their country needed them the most and they are doing a great job. But the truth is US/Israel will never stop trying to bring Egypt down. Israel wants to be the one and only of the Middle East but that can never be possible.

When you hear NAF say they have deployed platforms, one would think it is something to be taken seriously ...The Alpha will never die

Same way Egypt will never stop to see the downfall of Israel. Israel is a threat to their existence than the americans. Egypt is not just arming-up because of "perceived" foe(s) in africa, they are doing that because of intercontinental foe(s). The stationing of Antey 2500, Helicopter carriers, f16s and host of others are there to deter the "powers that be". I think El-sisi is someone that knows what he want and knows how to handle foreign posturing--diplomatically, military-wise.
It's even a shame that a "supposed" largest economy in africa can't up her ante in Defense Budget. I dont just get the "dwarf and pigmy" intellect we carry about in our own security and defense of the country and economy. Rubbish!

Egypt got $25billion loan from Russia and spent all of it on Russian military hardwares and softwares. $2.1billion was allocated to tackle Book Haram in Nigeria and the same people that budgeted that money were the same people that stole it. The Nigerian Air force sends officers on mission with Alpha Jets (flying coffins). The new terrorist groups in the Niger Delta have threatened to down those useless jets (meaning, those boys have MANPADs). I am sorry but I do not believe the Nigerian Air force can withstand an enemy with MANPAD. The country's military is a joke.

pacretus:
oga,,is of no use to you trying to analyze international politics.there's a huge differance btween trying to keep a neighbour low AND utterly destroying it.based on my findings and compiled facts,isreal only wants to keep egypt low.and i'm of the opinion that isreal is sponsoring isis in sinai.egypt is already divided.but because is being ruled by the military you hear next to nothing of the happenings in egypt.
As far as the world poliTRICKs is concerned isreal(jews) owns america.
You would'nt blame isreal for trying to keep her rebelious neighbours low.
Your only concern should be for nigeria.but again what benefits has it.
In conclusion don't think egypt is so united.
Or israel is the devil.chess

Vikkie14:
Joke is an understatement. Frankly, to be honest, Nigeria has no AirForce. The men and officers only make up the FORCE, THE AIR is not there. Without Air, the Force becomes dead.
No Combat Jet, no Defense Asset, no AIRworthy craft-- everything na just womboro jumbolo like a tailor's leg.

NIGERIAN AIR FORCE MOVES TO REINFORCE BASE DEFENCE AND PROTECTION OF CRITICAL ASSETS


The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), as part of efforts towards coping with the dynamism of emerging security threats, is adopting a new concept of base defence to protect its air assets and critical installations. Aside reorganising, retraining and re-equipping the Regiment Specialty to effectively defend NAF Bases against attacks, the Service has also employed the use of Closed Circuit Camera to provide surveillance around perimeter fences of NAF Bases while monitoring the entire Base from the Base Defence Coordination Centre. Under the new concept, effort is geared towards expanding the Regiment Specialty to be able to take over all ground defence duties with a view to securing NAF Bases and critical assets. The recent acquisition of 10 specialised Honker Scorpion Vehicles is in furtherance of this objective by providing guards with the capacity to respond quickly to security breaches. The vehicles possess armoured capability thus offering additional level of protection to guards.
Speaking during Commissioning ceremony, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Abayomi Olonisakin stated that the induction of the Honker vehicles will enhance the capability of NAF Regiment personnel to effectively contribute to the collective efforts at addressing the security challenges facing the nation, adding that “the procurement was a testimony of the importance the NAF attached to the protection of its critical assets and personnel”.
Meanwhile, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Baba Abubakar has reiterated that the nation, and NAF in particular, cannot afford to lose its critical assets to the activities of insurgents, terrorists and militants. Air Mshl Abubakar stated that the NAF is therefore committed to adopt all necessary security measures to forestall occurrence of past mistakes. The CAS added that the deployment of the Honker vehicles is intended to significantly enhance the NAF Base Defence System as well as security of key and vulnerable points around the nation including the airports. Another major advantage of the Honker vehicles is that it helps to eliminate the system hitherto in place where guards were made stationary at their guard posts.

Let's get this straight
Nigeria went shopping in Asia bought 10 Toyota landcruiser like trucks, organized a ceremony and invited media houses to the event, then the chief of air staffs alongside the chief of defense staff were present at this event to cut ribbons??

But why??

LMFAO!!!!


When you put it like that, the situation is near hopeless.

Vikkie14:
Dont mind those NLders celebrating mediocrity. See a situation where there's security breach at the base, is it Honkers and cctv that will defend the critical assets inside the base(s)? I was saying on the other thread that i was hoping to read something in the likes of antey 2500, pantsir and radar and someone is telling me we dont WANT that. That kinda "dwarf" intellect is what is keeping Nigeria back from her glory. Why dont you buy food everything you are hungry, why are you stockpiling Foodstuff in the store room? Are you not buying and stockpiling because of your WANT and not because of your NEED?
Two pantsir(or its equivalent) a base will give those "assets" better protection than those honkers. My Opinion Though.

Your last statement is totally out of point, 2 panstir or its equivalent will protect assets on the airbase. My question to you is are you protecting assets from being invaded through "Air space" or through "ground honkers". The panstir was specifically designed as a short range air defence system. They are very weak or has limited capabilities against ground targets....!!!!!!!

And has we speak today there decent types and class of CCTV, I hope u don't av the impression of those CCTV u all ways see around. And even in developed countries there military base make good use of CCTV, only it's sad that such airforce base is just having such installation.

Defending our airforce base and it's assets, the panstir air defence system is out of the point. What we need are Tactical Radars for Ground Surveillance.

Vikkie14:
BOTH.

Sure. And that's what i've said. And that's why i said, it is mediocrity to cut ribbons and celebrate installation of such. Do you people have comprehensive deficient? Why is my assertions so difficult to understand Oga? Haba!

I think you guys are just mischievously wonderful. In my first post i said something to this effect: "I was expecting the likes of S300, radar, pantsir or its chinese equivalent", end of quote. I think you guys need to develop "reading-through" and "thinking-through" attitude. Claiming Base defence with Honkers is not what i'm expecting, period.
Now, am through with the arguement. It's your choice to see the SENSE in NONSENSE.

bidexiii:



There is no SENSE or NONSENSE arguementmmmm

I av stated and clarified that those assests u mentioned are pretty good for our armed forces I.e panstir & S300 series etc

But my bone of contention his in one of ur statement ; "Two pantsir(or its equivalent) a base will give those "assets" better protection than those honkers. My Opinion Though."..........

Which I av clarified that the panstir is not what we need to defend our airbase and assets, that's 100% mis appropration of assets .
