A very 9ice suggestion. Bt bubu will nt go 4 it because d military will it against his foot soldier or he can divert it 2 calabar 2 bomb d militant,because dats wat he is gd at.

Op sori. I still remember free 2 air ones view is still allowed in d nigeria constitution.

Last bullet: fear not

IbnSultaan:
following the recent visit my Air chief to formations to evaluate state of NAF military capabilities in readiness for possible new platforms, it is critical we get things right.
Nigeria shouldn't go for western hardware Given our
history of arms embargoes,the capacity to delete
components from hostile nations is all-important and we badly need to move away from TRAINER JET mentality( A-Jet) our reconfigured F7 can barely manage a one-way LAG-ABJ but with 4G we have deep strike
capability with air superiority potency. A Su-27 will
do LAG-BAGA-LAG on one tank 2,000 miles.
It will be important to also mix used/new Su-27/30s to meet our short and long term needs.
I concur with beegeagle we should go for 30 + FC-1/JF17 multirole jets upgraded su-27s + 6 new Su-30s & deploy two Su-27s
+three JF17s to each of LAG,MDGR,SOK & CAL;
two Su-27s to ENU and KNJ, units of JF17 each
to YOL, ABJ,KN and BEN,
according to @beegeagle JF17 cost of operations is pocket-friendly & the jet is remarkably ease to master for F7 pilots Again the technology transfer entailment in the JF17 would kickstart our aircraft industry

Why we need to go for 4Gen flexible fighters
*NAF needs massive air power with PGM capabilities to support COIN ops
*External threat according to beegeagle Since A-Jets
were acquired,countries with 4G within striking
range of our borders have increased Algerian soil lies 550 miles due north from Illela in NW Nigeria,within
striking range of Su-30s
Cabinda lies 550-659
miles due south of Calabar & our FPSOs, within
striking range of Angolan Su-27/30s not talk of the regales and F16 use by Cairo not forgetting mig25,23 in the hands of unstable Libya

when I thought you will suggest we buy spitfires and upgrade their avionics
who we need super sonic Jets for, this rag headed illiterate Boko, I don't think so
armed little birds is all we need

And you think those 'armed little birds' would position us as a force to reckon with in Africa ?

What about when we face greater threats to out National borders ? Or you still think it can't happen ?

1diots will always be 1diots, sad what they turned this thread to. Su-30s for me.

Op don't think we need attack helicopters too

mikolo80:
Germany had the baddest tanks in wwii Switzerland had a rifle and in every home the Swiss were left alone,while the rest of Europe capitulated
don't start none, won't be none we need water light and roads tractor factories and housing not over sized pride inducing toys trust me I was in the Airforce you only fight with your neighbors none of our neighbours would dare all their planes can be brought down by manpads much cheaper than maintaining planes and pilots

do you even know what a killer egg looks like

EVarn:
What Nigeria needs is a "comprehensive advanced fighter jet programme".
Firstly,our defence budget should be increased to at least $5bn{N1trn},then $15-20bn should be ear-marked for a compact 'airforce modernization programme' that would span a period of 8-10 years.The programme should involve summoning various advanced defence companies and fighter jet manufacturers from all over asia to present/showcase their most capable fighters jets and then we should kickstart a bidding process to select the best suited hardware of choice,after which we would order for at least 100-150 of the advanced,preferably 4++ generation fighter jets: such a large scale procurement would naturally come with training and comprehensive mainteinance kit,if we negotiate thoroughly,we would get technology transfer or even tactical technical cooperation.
Enough of using outdated alpha jets,we should go for the SU27/30 and new MiG35 for advanced multirole fleet,then we should pick the new yak-130 advanced trainer instead of the JF-17.

Sultan you don come again. Maintenance culture is one key factor plus our defence budget. These toys are not just for the everyday Airforce capt with pot belly or some hand-picked ignorant dude in the name of federal character. My point is forget it.

Leave them with the Alpha jet for now.
