ZACHIE: Jona wanted to spend $1b to fight Boko.
Against the B 2 Spirit,that amount is deposit for tires and exhaust pipes.

Chai...we poor no be small

Descartes: Can we get one for Naija Military

bushdoc9919:

Let's see....F22 raptor....$328million

Cost(in naira)...54 BILLION NAIRA

Cost of ten of them ..............540BN NAIRA.

Defense budget for 2014.......970BN naira

You do the math( and we have not yet talked about maintenance costs plus maintenance facilities)

Danhumprey: If only all those money that were looted and are still being looted by our corrupt politicians,had been directed to the purchase of military equipment like this,it would have help in crushing the Boko Haram insurgents long before they had the gut to kidnap those girls.

bushdoc9919:

And the cost of ten of the F22 raptors,plus one B2 stealth bomber will wipe out our defence budget in minutes....we will have no cash for looting, or even salaries.

donedy: All will become scrap metal once they come in contact with Buk missile, let alone S-400 missile. By the way, most of those price tag are inflated, and the planes are yet to meet any significant challenge.

bushdoc9919:

B2 stealth bomber (the first plane) saw action in Serbia and in Iraq(Gulf war 2).

Ahuitzotl: Where is the wisdom buildin such expensive hardware when they can be shoot down by SAM sites which cost less than 1/10 to set up....Except they come with Standard ECM...

Olucheye: Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.



Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.


Nevertheless, kudos to the brains that came up with this innovation!

Lantean:


Com'on. You don't think they woulda factored all manners of enemy weaponry into their designs.
I doubt those aircrafts have standard ecms... talk about Advanced Electronic Counter Measures.

However, each of them is built for a different role. The B2 Spirit was designed to be a bomber only. It doesn’t need to hug terrain to deliver its package.

seankafor: whats on my mind now is when d hell will naija reach this level? although if she reaches this level by then more and more advanced ones will come out ..by then we will be lagging behind thoo..

DaBullIT: If your country is powerful , regardless of how you got your power some nations will be out to get you , besides those aircrafts and the costs are deterrents to would be enemies , those crafts are not used to provoke , rather they are used to keep the peace ,

Abacha's money would have bought at least 2 hawks and would have created not less then 50k jobs for Nigerians

$20Bil NNPC missing funds would buy at least 5 B2 stealth bombers creating jobs making Nigeria indeed a giant in Africa
