EasternLeopard: You can almost imagine the aftermath of an Apache Hellfire Helicopter Gunship being gifted to insurgents by the moles within the rank and file of the NA. Heaven forbid, but it will likely result in mass troop desertion similar to that of the Iraqi forces in the face of the ISIS onslaught a couple of weeks back. 1 Like |

cirmuell: [img]http://1.1.1.1/bmi/www.aircraftcompare.com/aircraft_images/33.jpg[/img] The A10 ground attack jet is built like a tank, with self-sealing fuel tanks, multiple systems redundancy, and a Kevlar "bath-tub" built around the pilot. It has been said that the A10 was an aircraft designed around a gun, and the multi-barreled monstrosity peering menacingly out from the nose of this bird is capable of fragmenting battle tanks and other heavy armor with ease. In the various conflicts where this ugly beast of the skies was unleashed by the US military, the A10 Warthog gained an almost mythical reputation for surviving structural and mechanical damage that would lead to the crash of just about any other man made flying machine currently in existence. An A10 flying combat sorties over downtown Badhdad was riddled from stem to stern with a firestorm of anti-aircraft projectiles sent up by forces loyal to the rogue regime, during the opening hours of a major allied air offensive against military targets scattered across the sprawling city. The pilot of the A10, on noting that half of his jet's left wing had been blown clean off by the AA barrage, briefly considered bailing out and parachuting into the waiting hands of enemy forces, but then wisely decided to limp his stricken craft back to base. He made it back to base in one piece, and executed a textbook landing right on the piano keys, to the stunned disbelief of all present. There were several other notable stories of A10 Warthogs surviving damage that would be instantly catastrophic for ANY other aerial vehicle under the sun. A10 no dey 'gree die. Johnny B. Goode. Get you some Warthogs, man, and get some of them ace Nigerian Air Force jet jockeys trained up QUICK, so that they too can saddle up, and set loose the Warthog anywhere in the theater of war that the ground is in need of BIG pounding. 5 Likes |

SiriusBlack: Average Northerner, a BH sympathizer? I'm not from the North, but Northerners, generally are peaceful people..I stand by that..but in a Northern society with so much poverty, violence will surely occur...BH has killed more northerners than any other tribe..killed more muslims than any other religion and has destroyed the North's Economy and brought it to its knees...Now tell me, you think Northerners "sympathize" with people who slaughter them daily?I guess some of you here think most Nigerians have a plate of rice instead of brains in our heads!!!Thrice,between oct 1991 and 1995 the so-called peace-loving hausa-fulanis tried to kill me in Kano. Find anybody who is not of northern origin (north west) who lived in Kano at the time and listen to their stories. Most southerners and even people from the north central living around Brigade, Gwuagwuaruwa, zoo road, ungwa ukwu,Rigya lemu, Hotoro and the list goes on and on were murdered like so many flies by these rampaging mobs of deranged mad men for no other reason than they were not hausa-fulani, even being a none hausa fulani muslim did not stop them from drowning you in a well or slitting you throat. Please stop this lame excuse of poverty and boko haram having killed more northerners as a justification for and unbearable evil that these people have unleashed on the rest of the country for 5 decades or more. Boko haram is just the new toga, they have been at it for decades before boko haram. By the way, i lost my best friend to these rampaging animals back in 1994. They slit his throat and burnt his body for no reason than he was not Hausa-fulani. This is for me a personal thing: 14 Likes 1 Share |

skullz: Is this a trick question ? The good old US of A is the right answer of course, SKullz, and for getting that right, you win an all-expenses-paid wild weekend at the infamous Mustang Ranch house of female delights in rural Nevada, during which you will get to pick and choose from a mouth-watering bevy of sultry beauties on an hourly basis, or as the whim of the moment takes you. On a serious note, yes indeed, sir, the United States of America has SQUADRONS of temporarily de-activated A10's, all languishing in the dry heat of a sprawling aircraft "graveyard" in Nevada, and all awaiting patiently for the footfall pitter-patter of serious buyers ready to put the fangs back in the slumbering beast, awaken her GENTLY and ship her Africa-bound, to join the fun at the Sambisa war front, where many a horde of virgin-hunting slave-raiders await carnal delivery from above - a job tailor made for the A10 Warthog. Bust a move, Johnny B. Goode, and snag you some mean-asz FAIRLY USED A10 death-dealers to get it done RIGHT, out there where the tracer flies. Hell, get a bunch of them muffugus and end this chit NOW, before it gets out of hand. Close the deal on Buhari and his monkeys, Johnny. We know y'all don't be half-steppin', so just go ahead on, homie, and show 'em what time it is - Warthog Time ! 4 Likes |

Ibnsultan: The yankes are not reliable partners. Depending on them for weaponry is a wrong idea Don't worry brother man, the Great Satan is already killing terrorist slave-raiding gang members in north eastern Nigeria with finesse, style, elan and panache, thanks to those loitering ARMED drones we have come to know and love so much. Good thing it is too that US foreign policy, both overt and covert, is not affected in even the most abstract way, by the impotent whimpering of anonymous internet pundits who denounce the Great Satan in what has evolved to become a treasured hobby for many in the fundamentalist world, dating back to the days of Ayatollah Khomeni, Iran's one time America-hating, turban-wearing head mullah. |

Even if they would agree(which is not possible), I don't think it would be a wise buy, considering the loads of bullshi.t that would be attached to such contract.

skullz: Uncle Sam has major vested business interests in Nigeria, and would NOT be prepared to stand by and watch the very existence of all those concerns threatened by the emergence of a fundamentalist terror regime in Nigeria. In the likely event that those vested interests held by the United States are deemed important enough to dust off, re-arm and sell off a few used A10 Warthogs to the federal side at some point during the course Nigeria's second civil war, then those planes will be on a vessel at sea heading for Nigeria so fast it will seem like magic when those birds of prey suddenly take to the air and proceed to whup major asz at the war front. I've got my family-sized bucket of popcorn here in this front-row seat to witness Nigeria's unfolding history, and this is one show I wouldn't miss for the world. Nothing beats an old-fashioned duke-out between the forces of good and evil, to bring the curtain down on a riveting show. |
