i think nigerian govt should swallow their pride and beg britian and russia for help like they did during biafra because we can see clearly that nigerian military cannot win any war without foreign help yeye country..

mandon: Permit me to ask these questions. Does it mean that Nigerian airforce does not have any jet fighters at all? Why do they need to buy new jets for boko haram fight? Does this mean that we will also need to buy new jets before we can contain external aggression if any? If this last question is correct, then we are living at the mercy of our neighboring countries.

I say this because should we have external aggression, Nigerians will be wiped off through air assault considering the time it takes to place order for jet fighters and the time of taking delivery.

The annoying part is that we haven't attempted to develop our own jet planes

One of the reason Boko Harram won't end is simple because the Ogas@Dtop are using the opportunity to thief. I'm sure it would cost Nigerian purse over $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00 to acquire the the 12 fighter jets whereas the get might not even cost up to $1,000,000,000.00

igwemoagbo: this was my tweet pic weeks ago..." can the USA loan us just 10 of this, so boko ll be history...i guess someone up there read my tweet then cos they seem to have taken my advice.....hahahah grin grin grin grin
trust me the f16 is Λ nice jet but it aint worth the hassle and besides fast fighter jets are useless in this kinda war what we need are slow moving low flying attack fighter like the su25 frogfoot or better still dedicated attack helicopter like the mi28 with HMDS and flir even if we buy the basics, the south africans would be more than happy to help us upgrade to them NE setup and setup maintenance depots. If you have noticed, I haven't included and american hardware because even if they sell to you, amnesty internation later comes up with some human rights abuse and war crimes horse shhit and then lobby uncle sam to impose sanctions and stop inflow of spare parts and weapons and there you have it another white elephant project

Blockus:


Jets!!

Lol.. You want to fly jets and bomb who now?! How do you bomb targets you cant see?!

They would be better off purchasing Helicopter Gunships than Jets. The cost of flying regular sorties on a military jet is about 3 time the cost per sortie in a Gunship.

I would rather we purchase like 20 MH-6 Little Bird Helos to run sky patrol over the City and Jets like our MIGs to do intercept and precision bombing raids.



Twenty or more fully armed helicopters like the beauty in the above picture could be acquired for the price of one ground-attack jet, and these helicopters will be much cheaper to maintain, fuel and rearm after each combat sortie, in comparison to a jet. Most importantly too, helicopters do NOT need a runway to take off and land, as do fixed-wing aircraft. Any piece of level ground will do for forward deployment landing zones of helicopter gunships and medical evacuation choppers during war.

A few helicopters will inevitably succumb to ground fire, as is always the case when helos fly into war zones, but on the balance the above idea is absolutely brilliant, proving you are a man of great insight as well as Big Bawls, Blockus.

Few days ago, we heard boko haram want to acquire fighter jet, few days later NA are directly purchasing a dozen of fighter jet too, does that mean shekau was not going to buy fighter jet snatch some from the military as usual ? Or does this mean the two sides want to take the fight from land to air? Hmmmm I fear for the people still living in that part of the country, God save your people oo.

The development of the ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" began
in 1957 along with ZSU-37-2 "Yenisei"[9] and the
vehicle was brought into service in 1965,
replacing all ZSU-57-2s in air defense units
toward the beginning of the 1970s. The ZSU-23-4
was intended for AA defense of military facilities,
troops, and mechanized columns on the march;
originally, the more powerful guns of "Yenisei"
were judged to be effective at covering the inner
dead-zone of Soviet surface-to-air missile
systems despite the increased weight of the
vehicle, but commonality prevailed. Initially, tank
regiments should have had the anti-aircraft
artillery battalion of "Shilka" (consisting of two
batteries, four ZSU-23-4s in each). At the end of
the 1960s, one battery was equipped with
ZSU-23-4s and the other with ZSU-57-2s.
Motorized rifle and tank regiment standard anti-
aircraft batteries consisted of two platoons later
(one platoon was equipped with four ZSU-23-4s
and another with four mobile surface-to-air
missile systems 9K31 Strela-1 or 9K35 Strela-10).
The ZSU-23-4 combined a proven radar system,
the non-amphibious chassis based on GM-575
tracked vehicle, and four 23 mm autocannons.
This delivered a highly effective combination of
mobility with heavy firepower and considerable
accuracy.
The ZSU-23-4 outclassed all NATO anti-aircraft
guns at the time, and it is still regarded as posing
a major threat for low-flying fixed-wing aircraft
and helicopters. NATO considered the Shilka to
be so dangerous that, in time of war, standing
orders required NATO pilots to destroy any
Shilka observed, even if doing so required the
pilot to abandon his mission.[citation needed]

Shilka is the nickname of the ZSU-23-4, a lightly armored, self-propelled, radar guided anti-aircraft weapon system (SPAAG)
