Crime / Re: Nigeria To Take Delivery Of The First Batch Of JF-17 Fighters From Pakistan Soon by Germi9: 3:06pm On Mar 06, 2021
JF17Thunder:


No, Pakistan does not depend 100% on China for fighter jets.

1. Pakistan Air Force operates over 70 American F-16 Fighting Falcons and around 190 French Mirage IIIs and Mirage 5s.

2. The jf-17 thunder is a $500 million joint venture between China and Pakistan, agreed in 1999. China builds 42% of the aircraft and Pakistan builds 52% while the engine is imported from Russia.

3. Yes, the 3 jets that Nigeria has bought for $184 million are brand new.
ocoret sir

Fun facts, Israel don't manufacture fighter jets,the get it for free from the U.S and Nigeria is not the only country buying from Pakistan. Ukraine, Azabarjan,Myanmar,Indonesia, Philippine all have order for the same Pakistani jets.At $18million it's the cheapest fighter jet on earth.

Only Myanmar and Nigeria have purchased the jf-17 thunder aircraft so far. No other foreign sales confirmed to date.

Imagine Pakistan military engineers working on US military jets, that's kinda a security breach but here in Africa we find it cool

What if Nigeria goes to war one day with Pakistan, They know what to touch in their control room to disable out plane

Train our military engineers, Equip them and trust them and you will see the amazing results they gonna show to our Nation

Nigerian pilots and engineers have been training in Pakistan to familiarise themselves with the jf-17 thunder aircraft.

Further, Pakistani support staff will be in Nigeria for a one-year contract for help with the maintenance of the aircraft. After that, it'll be Nigeria's responsibility to look after their aircraft.

In the real world, nations don't spend billions buying military equipment that have kill switches.

Nigeria will take delivery of the first batch of jf-17 fighters from Pakistani as early as next week. Pakistani engineers are expecting to hit the country in the coming days.

The jf-17 thunder, a multi-role fighter interceptor will replace the aged Chengdu F-7Ni fighter as Nigeria's frontlines air defence and air superiority fighter.

Crime / Re: South Africans Brutalize Two Nigerian Guys (Graphic Photos) by Nobody: 3:14pm On May 15, 2017
Fulmigati:

South Africa has a stronger military than Nigeria.

Not according to Global Firepower Index Ranking. We are 4th in Africa, they are 5th. We have 200,000 Armed personnel. They have 62,000, They have a stronger Navy with 2 Subnarines.We have a stronger Airforce with more combat aircraft, 22 Alpha Jets, 3 jf-17 thunder multi role fighters, 20 L-39 trainers, 22 Mi-34/24 attack helicopters, 7 Mi-17sh 7sh helicopters, 5 Hercules C-130 TRANSPORT aircrafts, 5 satellites and other utility aircrafts.

South Africa has a far more advanced military but less capable. They have Gripens but only 6 qualified pilots. They have 12 Roovial helicopters and a dozen or so Cheetah aircraft. Advanced yes but too small to make an impact. When we got out ass whooped by Boko Haram we swallowed our pride and learned from the Chadians the art of Counter Insurgency, which most armies are not trauned and doctrined to fight. We learnt fast and even hired SA mercenaries to train our Special Forces. Today the Americans and British want to learn how we whooped Boko Haram in 6 months.

South Africa got their ass whooped in Central Africa and fled, leaving 16 of their fallen comrade behind. What they were doing in CAR till this day I dont know. But Instead is them to come to us and learn about peace keeping combat operations what did they do? They with Obama sought to cripple out war effort , they ceased funds meant for weapons procurement just to embarrass our government to cover up their failed assets. They see everything as competition for geopolitical supremacy with Nigeria.
