Hahahah what refueling capability F-7 are you talking about because none of your jets have a refueling capability.

Yes google is your friend also like we told your countryman before you aren't dealing with a bunch of ignorant South Africans, we know full well what NAF's limitations are, including our own SAAF. Google is your friend don't try to run when u can't even crawl properly.

By the way your bro mr aguagust aka military expert, gave us the source to his BTR claim now he disputes his own source when he been proven of being a liar.

Captain now show us that you're not on the same foolish level as that wanna be analyst and show us the proof not 20year futuristic dreams.

Capnd143: lol. Who is talking about 20yr futuristic dream?
I can remember vividly arguing that nigeria were getting the 24 L-15 trainers but your comrades refuted saying it was a lie, now deliveries have started alongside "II-76 aircraft, 24 units of j-10B, 24 units of JF-7A's, 2 units of Mi-26TB, 3 UNITS of Ka-60/64, 10 units of Mi-17-iv, 2 units of Mi-17-ivA, 4 units of Ka-29TB, 24 units of Mi-35M, 6 UNITS OF Ka-26 etc . . . .
Please to verify this do check janes aprill 2013 updated inventory or most importantly Z9.invisionfree military acquistions thanks.

Bro invisionfree is one of the worst fictitious sites you can ever come across in military circles now can I give you a few reasons why in conjunction with the claims you've made here. I am a subscription member of jane's and I find some of your claims here very laughably no pun intended

1) J-10B is only in service in the in China and Pakistan as to date jane's said that Nigeria showed interest but then went for the F-7 export version. The J-17 are for now out of the question

2)The L-15 Falcon was never in dispute from any of SA commentators on this thread and I have no issues with that claim.

3)Now I've never heard of a Mi-26TB don't know where you get the delusion from because no such helo exists as far I know(google is your friend remember

4)The Kamov ka-26(Hoodlum) is a 1966-1978 old outdated museum time peace, yet I see your "invisionfree" claim you getting deliveries in Q4,2013
Now good luck with the NAF's strategic acquisition of the Kamov ka-26 I say R.I.P in advance to those airfoce personnel flying them

5)Now the NAF according to your own procurement sources and beagleblog reported
Nigeria 3 Mi-35P/hind-A combat versions in 2012(ex Russian)

6)6 M-8MT/Mi-17 (hip-H) not 10 as you claim and your invisionfree

7) The Kamov ka-29TB is one of the oldest naval transporter helicopters and was only in service in 4-5 navies to date and by today its an old outdated helo. The Agusta-109 that NAF operates is far better then the ka-29tb

On the II-76 cargo airlift plane, Nigeria is not a operator of this aircraft not now or in the next year for that matter. There's no record of this.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IIyushin_II-76

Now I will await the answer on the air refueling capability of NAF. By the way Nigeria's best bet for a refueling capability would be to revamp one C-130H with modern 15 engines for that capability. The USAF has a few and even displayed it at Waterkloof AFB,SA some 2years ago even Sweden uses them in that role, including a few other Nato nations.

Nice but why did Rossikki mix Calabars pictures with Lagos though.

Now I don't wanna divert the thread also but here's a few pictures of Durban(SA's play ground) including Ushaka marine world which is the biggest Aquatic camp in the Southern Atmosphere.

andrewza: How come littel chad has sent 1000 more solders to malili than the giant of africa.

Nigeria 1100 out of promissed 1100
Chad 2200 out of a promised 2200

Nigerian army 62 000
Chad army 20 000

DictatorZAR:

Lastly Moses Mabida stadium Durban arguably the most beautiful international multipurpose stadium in the world especially at night, it even has a cable car ride to the top of the stadium.

Okay! Enough said, you BRAGGART! .

patriot4: Nigerian army is above 100000 personnel, not 62000, get up to date on your data.

agaugust:



invisionfree website is VERY CONFUSING and I have stopped using it because people mix reality with ideas.

You get a lot of correct military information but the posters also mix it with their own personal ideas and it's hard to separate their reality from ordinary ideas and wishes.

Best sites are army recognition, military technology, naval recognition, and Wikipedia. If I remember the others I will post the website names.

for nigerian weapons and military , beegeagle blog is also good.

.

GeneralJ:

LOL way to Contradict yourself, you yourself stated that Wikipedia was not a good source, but now you are using it haha

Anyway the previous poster whose post you quoted seemed to make mistakes while naming Nigerias new babies, so i will post the list complete with delivery dates here from z9 invisionfree

andrewza: nigerias army is 62,000 strong, navy of 8000 and airforce of 10,000 and a paramiltary of 82,000. My data is up to data till last year.

patriot4:
Again, the army counts over 100000, figure given by the chief of army staff himself.

andrewza:

If you include the 80,000 secuirity and civil defens corp and 2000 port security police yes. But the natniol permant force army is only 62,000. If you can find a better source than janes and IISS go a head and post it.

patriot4: I am quoting the COAS himself:" over 100,000 Nigerian Army officers and soldiers"
http://www.ghanamma.com/2013/02/nigerian-army-is-apolitical-says-ihejirika/

andrewza:

62,000+80,000= 140,000.

He is correct you are inccorect. But the 80,000 of the secuirty and civil defense corp are all most all light infantry with only around 100 AFV (AT105 saxon and UR416. 4 transport helcopters (2 bell212 and 2 bell 222 and 4 light transport aircraft (1 cessna 500 2 PA-31 Navjo 1 PA-31-350 navjo chieftian)

So it basically light infanty. All so only the national army deploys and has heavy wepaons.

patriot4:
Man, are you doing it on purpose ?
the civil defence is not part of the army!
the army is 100000 strong or more.

andrewza:

Ever credbil source say 60 odd thousand. If you can hide more than 40,000 then you better than america.

patriot4:
I think the COAS knows the number of personnel better than your source.

andrewza:

Ever think he was egstrating. 62,000 is the listed and offical size of the nigerian army. There is no way around that fact.

patriot4:
Actually, you and your source are wrong.
100000 is the official and registered number of troops in the Nigerian army.
