tdayof: Of cos yes, still used in reconnaissance, air to air, ground support, infact its a multi role fighter jet. |

tdayof: Actually f18 was used in d battle of fallujah I think, and the pics u posted is stil an f18, f16 is a single engine jet fighter. |

Zane2point4:The pics I posted is an EA-18 growler electronic warfare aircraft. It's used by the United States Navy and its based on f-18 hornet airframe. Yes the f-16 is a single engine aircraft. Thanks for the correction. Thought you were referring to operation desert storm. |
Re: NAF Deploys Six Fighter Jets To End Boko Haram Insurgency by Zane2point4(m): 9:25pm On Jun 21, 2016 |
tdayof: Ok ur correct;, it was the Growler was mainly used in destroying enemy radar of antiaircraft system.(Radar jamming) |

tdayof:so F7 moving at Mach 1.3 can hit a moving target with free fall bombs which is only available on your F7... For the records,F7 is an interceptor hence not good for ground targets.. So get your facts right before commenting |
Re: NAF Deploys Six Fighter Jets To End Boko Haram Insurgency by tdayof(m): 3:31pm On Jun 23, 2016 |
Sixfootah:Good it took you hours to research on my post and you still came out typing rubbish. An aircraft has a top speed of mach 3 doesn't mean it needs to go on its full-speed during missions. I don't deal with things you do online . You should know with all hardpoints loaded an aircraft won't attain it's top speed again. F-7 is an interceptor yeah. F/A-18 , su-33 are interceptors and will drop bombs accurately.. Including the F-16. .. And the F-7 can be loaded with bombs and effectively upgraded to be armed with guided bombs.. You don't tell me about an aircraft I finished some engineering training on.... |

tdayof:firstly, I have a job hence don't spend my productive/ money-making time on cyberspace arguing inconsequential/ meaningless stuff.. Having said that, I honest think you don't live in today's NIGERIA giving your line of argument which seem to suggest the world you live in ...utopia... You flying coffin of today has no guided bomb nor targeting pod.. It only uses free fall bombs .. Aka dumb not smart bombs.. So it's very hard/ impossible for an interceptor to hit a moving target with free fall bombs.. |
Re: NAF Deploys Six Fighter Jets To End Boko Haram Insurgency by tdayof(m): 4:00pm On Jun 23, 2016 |
Sixfootah:Good to know however I agree but I can't consider the f-7 a flying coffin. It may be a flying coffin to you but as an aeronautical engineering student, I don't consider it to be that. And I still insist a F-7 interceptor can be upgraded to effectively carry a guided bomb. ... I don't know how upgraded the Nigerian Airforce f-7Ni is but the Chengdu f-7 can be modified to carry a guided bomb. Bangladeshi f-7 are equipped with laser guided bombs. |
Re: NAF Deploys Six Fighter Jets To End Boko Haram Insurgency by Sixfootah(m): 5:01pm On Jun 23, 2016 |
tdayof:I sincerely don't see why we're having this conversation in the first instance cos my first comment is entirely centered around NIGERIA and its air force which I know uses free fall bombs and my disappointment with that owing to smaller countries having better platforms that we don't.. So, your quest to show off is entirely your problem.. |

tdayof: Obsolete is a relative term. What can be described as obsolete for Mr A, probably is still relevant for Mr B. |

989900: The F-16 Block 52/60 and Viper are all better planes than the JF-17. However the JF-17 is also a better fighter than older model F-16s, Block 40 and below. With the Americans, you don't get the full capabilities of a fighter aircraft, what most non-NATO members get are monkey models. With the JF-17 we are getting full spectrum capabilities and an aircraft that's still going to evolve. In all, the Americans wont sell the F-16 to Nigeria. 2 Likes |

989900: It's a damn good deal!! We are getting a "Gripen C/D" aircraft for 1/3 the price. The Gripen cost 60 million a pop. 1 Like |
Re: NAF Deploys Six Fighter Jets To End Boko Haram Insurgency by Nobody: 7:02am On Jun 25, 2016 |
Zane2point4: Our JF-17s would come with a WMD-7 pod or an Aselsan Pod. So we're getting close. |
Re: NAF Deploys Six Fighter Jets To End Boko Haram Insurgency by Nobody: 7:03am On Jun 25, 2016 |
stan4guy6: Why is the JF-17 not a sensible purchase, have you read on the aircraft's capabilities? |
Re: NAF Deploys Six Fighter Jets To End Boko Haram Insurgency by Nobody: 7:07am On Jun 25, 2016 |
Sixfootah: ....Another poorly informed individual. At $12,000 per flight hour, how many times do you see Ugandan SU-30 in the air. The Ugandans are engaging terrorists in Somalia, Uganda and South-Sudan, how many times have you heard of a deployment of SU-30? Chad flying 3 obsolete MIG-29s isn't an achievement. |
Re: NAF Deploys Six Fighter Jets To End Boko Haram Insurgency by Nobody: 7:10am On Jun 25, 2016 |
tdayof:Not true. Both Australia, Canada and Switzerland fly them. |
Re: NAF Deploys Six Fighter Jets To End Boko Haram Insurgency by Nobody: 7:12am On Jun 25, 2016 |
tdayof: Not entirely true. F-16 Block 52, Block 60 and Viper are a lot better than the JF-17, but the JF-17 is better than F-16 block 40 and below. 1 Like |

tdayof:guy don't let f7 ruin your career though electronics not aeronautics what I have observed from the f7 when I was living close to airforce base yola is that the jet is that the jet worth nothing. I mean it doesn't have any advanced technology |

Henry240:without seeing f35 operational you don't need people to tell you it worth something looking at the previous design f22. |
