Bishop Magic:

You are like that proverbial harlot from the tales of King Solomon.

Just like your masters you will rather see this country in shambles since you have little or no contribution to her success.

Go and diet!

rafhell:

Correction : it is go and die not go and diet

Bishop Magic:

I know what I wrote.

I want you to go on hunger strike first!

geeez: I was stunned when I noticed it was launched indoors

Its like commissioning a ship in the middle of the Sahara

Even if we didn't get to see its surveillance pictures, we should have seen it fly

Bishop Magic:

Drones are highly covet assets.

It is not a Utility Vehicle that is unveiled for public display in a car expo show.

These drones will be gathering Intel and doing routine reconnaissance in places like Borno.

Do you expect the Military to unveil their latest weapon against Boko Haram publicly? There will be an introduction to Drones 101 class in Boko Camps to try an identify and how best to neutralize these newly acquired assets

The UMAV is operational. That's all you need to know.

You are on a need to know basis only

geeez:

My friend don't be silly

If it was that covet, you shouldn't have announced its launch in the first place

geeez:


Why are warships and fighter jets' military capabilities showcased after their launch?

Mayor_of_Lagos: Drone didnt fly ke



1. Who will supply "uniterrupted" power for the ground controls and support? I dont want to hear ground support lost power and control of an armed drone.

Mayor_of_Lagos:


2. In addition to assault missions, would it do surveillance as well?

Mayor_of_Lagos:
3. Since boko has infiltrated government and army and air force, in the event bokoharam decides to use the drone for an assault mission, is there an overide from the ministry of defense?

Bishop Magic:

This is by far the daftest comment I have ever come across on NL and will not bother to educate you on how drones operate.

Another spell bounding daft post that begs for education
Before you can attack you must be able to locate and target the enemy.
That is if it can attack it should be able to carry out simple recon missions.

Don't go ahead of your shadow only the U.S., China, Israel and Russia have the technology and capacity to deploy and operate assault drones.

Before you wish doomsday for this mission capability,know that drones are Intel assets and as such only officers with high security clearance and top brass will have privy access to it's control and intel gathered.

And even if it was an assault drone, I don't think Bokos have the capacity to hack a GPS tracked and satellited guided drone

Mayor_of_Lagos:

Well, can this one go into operation? Please educate me on this drone and how it will be operated. It is a unmanned aerial vessel. How do you operate it without grounds control fed by an uniterrupted power supply? Please educate me.




Mr, I asked simple rhetorical questions and you are venting hot air out of your a** trying to prove you know the ins and outs of drone.
Reconaissance is a different operating mode from assault mission and each can occur successfully independent of the other.
Like I said, you appear to have a "drone stuck in your a**"..please get it out and start educating me on what the functions of this drone model will be.



Isnt that like saying only those countries have the knowledge to design and build a drone?
Well, here is one built in Nigeria. Right?

Do you have any idea about proprietary rights? The reason countries build their own defense equipments is to have proprietary control and manipulate its limitations. You cannot do that with licensed equipments purchased under defense contracts. This drone is not licensed to Nigeria from a foreign partner, therefore Nigeria can do with it what it wants under certain international protocols and treaties for deployment and operation of an "umanned aerialvehicle" . This liberty will include arming and employing the drone in an air assault.

You got that drone out of your a** yet?




How do honest questions turn into apocalyptic paranoia in your mind?

No military installation in the entire length and breadth of Nigeria is as fortified and highly secured as Jaji, yet bokoharam got in it and after doing damage looted its armory.

If they can do that Jaji no where else is sacred and access-proofed against their intrusion or posting. They just recently destroyed NAF assets. What do you say to that?




Who would have thought that a people advocating against western education would be sophisticated enough to manuever armored personnel carrier or sustain an online propaganda warfare.

You look at boko through the lens of a stereotypical Southerner who dismisses them as hungry and tattered almajiris. Some of them hold advanced degrees in engineering.

On second thought..i think you should leave that drone where its stuck up in your a**. Id hate to imagine your fvckery after you are relieved of it.

Bishop Magic:

You are daft.

I have no time to waste with you.
You should have considered procuring a descent education or at least have a basic understanding of things you hope to comment on.

Nairaland is not college. You know that right?

Mayor_of_Lagos:

With professors like yourself online to teach drone education, where else can i turn?
