Russia Confirms sale of MI-35 HELICOPTERS to Nigeria
This will be the largest single sale of HELICOPTERS to Nigeria ever.
This is a start, meanwhile Nigeria needs to as a matter of urgency ensure that she acquires her J-17s as soon as possible.

frumentius:


Now I know Abdullah has served in his country's military. Has Uhuru? If not, he has no business wearing a military uniform. And I'm not picking on Kenya, Jonathan also had no business putting on a uniform he had not earned.
If anyone disagrees, put up a better argument than the bunkum about Commander-in-Chief!

denisfidha:
that grip and that posture when the jordan president is shaking hands.... was he in the military or something,

Nice videos and I understand your points. I however said Inverted Negative G dive and not Inverted Dive

denisfidha:
Ok, maybe I should have waited till the end of the day to post the highlights instead of posting as I get them

1st pic. Are those cowboy boots? or is there a military version

jln115:

No you said Negative G/ Inverted flight!

denisfidha:

well we can look at it from many angles..... but as per the law.... in most democracies, the military has been allowed to issue ceremonial ranks, the president can use it or not depends on himself, but if he choses to then its his business cause he can and is within his powers as th CinC, he does not recieve any special benefits with his ceremonial rank.......... mostly the ceremonial rank is awarded during wartimes but on special occassions it can be awarded if the president even in peaceful times... Nigerial is dealing with BH and Kenya is dealing with AS, both need to show solidarity with their armed forces defending the nation, and what better way to inspire your troops (other than funding them well) than wearing military regalia to inspire them. it also sends the messege that you mean bussiness and you are serious in taking care of bussiness

one quote from a former military

“It is appropriate for the Commander-in-Chief to wear the uniform since he is technically an honourable member of the armed forces,”

tdayof:
Oh I said Negative G ? Good. This is a Negative G and I didn't see the gripen perform that.

This is a positive G


They are both Inverted but my negative made a difference.

jln115:

No its called an outside loop not a negative G dive.!

And also your saying aircraft from the 1920's were able to do an outside loop but not the Gripen??

gees9:


This happens in South Africa too, I remember Lindiwe Sisulu wearing a navy commander's uniform and i have seen numerous police minister's in Special Task Force uniform

tdayof:
None of the video performed an outside loop.

(positive g) or an outside loop (negative g). Stop confusing yourself.

jln115:

[s]Dude im not the one confused...you are, i know what an outside loop is, that's why i had to teach it to you, otherwise you would still be calling it a negative G dive!

Also you never asked for a video of a Gripen doing an outside loop.....you'll also never see an Air force fighter doing an outside loop anywhere in the world, as its an acrobatic maneuver not a combat maneuver.

But just because fighter pilots don't preform an outside loops doesn't mean a fighter jet can't do it.....WW1 era aircraft were able to do outside loops, i guarantee you fighters build 100 years later can also!

oh and BTW the max G load for the Gripen is +9/-4
Which is more then the Rafale: +9/-3.2[/s]
more than the Euro Fighter: +9/-3
more than the F/A 18: +9/-3

[s]Conclusion: If the Gripen can't preform a maneuver due to the G load stresses then no other Aircraft can either.[/s]

Good google helped you out. Aerodynamics tell better so don't teach me what I know.

Im not indirectly telling you the Gripen is more maneuverable than the Euro-Fighter....[s]Im [b]directly telling it is....The Gripen has higher a G load, as well as a much lower wing loading!! Thought you knew aerodynamics?? [/b][/s]

Oh and my sources are Flight Global and The Czech Air force.



.........Oh and lets just move this discussion to the other thread

tdayof:
No need. Discussion ends here Gripen more maneuverable
