How many bombs can this toy carry?
Where is the bomb loaded? I can't see any thing in this picture. This one can't even be used to siphon cash. It looks like a parade toy. You simply use a remote or joystick to manipulate its movement above the terra firma

just give us your village map, after 2 hours you won't recognize there again. e go don level am for una.

You have just shown ur ignorance.u knw nfn bout fighter jets and attack planes or even dual-purpose planes, so i can excuse ur ignorance. pple on n?land just open their mouths and yarn rubbish without investigating. Bros, try to research bfr u talk so that u dnt look stupid when u talk. and to think dt 25 pple or more even liked ur post, without really verifying the Payload of the Jet u r criticizing is worrisome, possibly ur likers are dumber.

Hey, don't knock it until you've tried it ha ha. Americans call it "Wake-and-Bake", named after the Shake-and-Bake chicken recipe of old, though obviously I do NOT speak from personal experience, in case you were wondering.

THIS IS AFRICA, and not the land of the PINKY SKINNED AMERICANS.

Why won't d boko boys shoot them down when dey are still using 1963 jet fighters.

Let us lend our comments and voices against south Africa so dat d good intention of d FG to procure new arms and jets will be realized.

Ibnsultan I am suprised ur thinking abt the F/A series abi nah 18(hornet) abi 16 or 15 guY forget it.if I need a 4th gen fighter I will go east...su flankers and jf thunder are on the way confirmed.a jf thunder was supported in TAC markurdi so time ago(i think.abt 2 months ago) on evaluation flight

Buy anything high.tech from the yanks.or.europa dude witbout tech transfer.is suicide

Mrning
That's tru. Alove the avionic system on the western planes
Sir I think Pakistan offered us that Jet along side cont research but am not sure of our stands on it
The su are awesome birds I would love to see the Army use them as its Air support unit. Or the mirage

THANK GOD FOR THE NEW ARRIVALS.. JAMA'ATU AHLISSUNNA LIDDA'AWATI WAL JIHAD YOU SHALL NOT SEE PEACE

overhypedsteve:
the NA air unit would be needing a lot of Gunships, mediovacs choppers, transports aircraft, drones for surveillance and recon and dedicated ISR compliant assets for surveillance.
I don't think the NA should bother itself now about having too many fixed wings aircraft let them focus more on close air support and transport.

sure but the will need jets for fast fire support to troops in combats. We could still modify some of our abandoned c130 in ilorin(last time I saw them) to carry heavy MG

Puhahahaha ....ayaf die

I just laugh when I see these outdated aircrafts.

Well,even if nah for d pilot to dey throw grenade from up,nah something.

some nairalanders know next to nothing abt aircrafts and they keep shouting outdated cos they heard d aircraft was made in d 1970's....
For emphasis sake... d year an aircraft was made doesnt make it outdated... military aircrafts are not luxury cars dat release new models every year!!. the F7 is upgraded from time to time with modern equipments and dats wat matters.
The American B2 aircraft is d only military jet in d world today capable of carrying a nuclear warhead... and it has been in service since 1962!!!!!!. pls be informed and stop all dis outdated rubbish shouts.

Shuo 179 days after, d girls are not back.

When dem wan enter sambisa?

i rili do nt undastand why our fighter jets all luk outdated, compared to what i see the americans use. can som1 tel me why? i've alwys lovd d airforce bt tinks lyk diz gets me irritated. dat ting surly luks lyk a toy.

Guy shut d f*ck up....even if a 1970s model aircraft gets upgraded, so u feel its the ones naija has acquired since 1980s that would be upgraded?....as if aircrafts get OTA updates like android OS.

US has been striking ISIL with F15 strike eagles, apache helicopters and AC130 gunships for months,yet we haven't heard of 1 crash. Naija attempted to do dsame with boko for just 2 days and a plane went missing. I bet that's ur proof that the planes are upgraded to modern standards.

Do you mean the same F15 strike eagle manufactured in 1988,I wonder why some of you just start calling names of aircrafts like cars that are manufactured every year,these planes are been upgraded with new tech every now and then,also note that the average cost of an F15 is around 100M dollars,now do you want a Nigerian govt to buy just an aircraft with such amount of money when millions are living beow 10 dollars per day,what will it cost to maintain just one aircraft and what happens if the Bokos suddenly buy a couple of surface to air missiles in the black market and decide to drop more than 100million dollars on our head.

hahahaha e stl dey oooh . U sabi dem wella ooooh

And to those who believe that American planes don't crash unlike our so called outdated planes in Nigeria,the list below show some crashes involving the F15E many of you are claiming the NAF should purchase,kindly note that some of them are combat losses to inferior forces.

On the first day of operation Desert Storm an F-15E was shot down by anti-aircraft artillery.[4]

On the third day of operation Desert Storm an F-15E was shot down by a Soviet made SA-2E missile. Both crew members were lost.[4]
On 18 April 1995, F-15E tail #89-0504 lost during a training flight off the coast of North Carolina. The WSO, Capt Dennis White was killed during the ejection; the pilot, Capt Brian Udell survived the fastest known ejection at over 780mph.[5]

In May 1995, Major Donald Lowry was killed when his F-15 crashed at Spangdahlem AFB in Germany. Investigation showed that during routine maintenance, mechanics had crossed and mis-connected the control rods. One of the mechanics was charged with negligent homicide and took his own life during his military trial.[6]

On 22 November 1995, during air-intercept training over the Sea of Japan, a Japanese F-15J flown by Lt. Tatsumi Higuchi was shot down by an AIM-9L Sidewinder missile accidentally fired by his wingman. The pilot ejected safely. Both F-15Js involved were from JASDF 303rd Squadron, Komatsu AFB.[7]
On 21 October 1998, F-15E tail #89-0497, assigned to the 391st Fighter Squadron at Mountain Home, ID, was lost on a night terrain-following training sortie. Both crewmembers were killed: pilot Lt Col William "Willy" aka "Skunk" Morel and WSO, Capt Jeff "Flounder" Fahnlander.[8]

On 7 April 2003, F-15E 88-1694/SJ of 4th FW/335th FS crashed during a combat bombing mission near Tikrit, Iraq. Both the pilot, Capt. Eric Das of Amarillo, Texas and Weapon Systems Officer (WSO), Major William R. Watkins III of South Boston, VA were killed. From the investigation of the crash site neither man tried to eject, and the aircraft was destroyed in the crash.[13]

On 4 June 2003, F-15E 87-0186 of the 334th FS crashed in an unpopulated wooded area near Seymour Johnson AFB. The Mishap Crew ejected and sustained only minor injuries. The crash was due to a malfunction of the right stabilator which caused the aircraft to go into an unrecoverable spin.[14]

On 18 July 2009, a U.S. Air Force F-15E 90-0231 Strike Eagle crashed in central Afghanistan, killing the two crew members, the U.S. military said.[29]

On 22 March 2011, F-15E 91-0304 from RAF Lakenheath crashed near Benghazi, Libya in Operation Odyssey Dawn. Both crewmen ejected safely and were recovered by friendly forces. Equipment problems with weapons interface software and the right external fuel tank led to a strong right-wing weight imbalance, which caused the aircraft to enter a flat spin during a low-speed, high altitude, 100 degree bank-angle right turn. The mishap investigation board found the cause of the crash to be lack of published knowledge on F-15E maneuvering with large external store weight imbalances at high altitude.[30]

But did they tell you they used this particular machine for the operation? When you see something like this it is just paraphernalia, used to connect the issue under discussion.

When you hear the Americans are hitting ISIS in Kobane, showing you an American soldier with AK47 does not mean that he is the one bombing Kobane but just to connect American army with whatever that represents them to the issue at hand.

No,they shouldn't spend $100m to protect their country from terrorists and other forms of invasion. But the different presidents that have led us in the past can siphon hundreds of millions of dollars into swiss accounts. I wonder when isreal became so rich that they can have what Nigeria can't have in their defence arsenal.

Well,i never said naija should buy F15s, I'm just saying most of our planes and military hardwares are old. If they feel they can only afford Chengdu F-7s,they should get the recent and upgraded variants, not keep using the ones that are outdated. I'm sure u must av read that a number of the fighters and some drones purchaced from isreal in our inventory are now unserviceable.

The NAF already has 12 J7 and 2 F7 aircrafts in their inventory,check the analysis in my posts.I feel the problem we should all agree on is updating the planes they have in stock and making sure we've the right people in charge,the rot in the military didn't just start today,it has been there since the 70s.

Yeah,we know accidents happen,but these countries engage enemies in strike missions countless of times in a year. In d last 20 years,how many times has naija fighter jets gone on strike missions?

Suddenly, we are using jets for missions and its maybe d 2nd or 3rd strike mission in 20 years,and there's already a crash.

Do u believe in statistics?...at this rate,we'll lose all fighter pilots b4 we secure 1 village in Bornu state

O! Now u know it is outdated shey? When South Africa seized the money ment for arms purchase, you and many Nigerians shouted it serves our leaders right and now u are saying "it is outdated".

If the activities of boko had reached you or any of your loved ones that they either died or are left mutilated, you would have known better.
