The fact that they are decommissioned isn't an issue because Lockheed Martin promised to keep producing spares for those using the f16s.....

Compared to airforce like that of south Africa, Algeria and Egypt and even Morocco.... I'm afraid Nigeria is still far behind....

Personally, I'll rather have a fleet of 10 f16s than 20 of those funny looking planes from China

lockheed Martin isn’t doing maintenance for free na. It’s wiser to be honest with our pockets btw all 4th gen na 4th gen. Ukraine that’s getting the f16 is likely gonna find out soon enough

Xxpress:
Nothing of significance was mentioned in the write up.

No specification of the fighter jet mentioned

The writer is completely delusional. He thinks Aeronautics is GST 101. No information about "Range, Radar, Threat detection and Jamming, payload" etc. Let not even mention steath because that garbage is a sitting dock for most third generation fighter jet. Not to mention the 4th and fifth generation. Abeg delete this thread.

He even put a pic that wasn't The F7

The pictures you attached to this post are not those of the F-7NI, they are JF-17 Thunderbolt Fighter jets recently acquired from Pakistan by the Nigerian Airforce and are currently the most powerful fighter jets in This region of Africa. They are more powerful than the Chengdu F7s.[quote author=Mj4199 post=129738276][/quote]

This fighter doesn't look like it can take on the F16 that the Danish airforce recently decommissioned....

We are still very far behind in our airforce....

Are we facing threats from anyone to consider the buying the more sophisticated jets??

We are still a 3rd world country.

Chinese sell am give us !

Offpointng:


The Question is what do we need ah F-16 for?? It's not bout acquiring Aircrafts cuz you want to feel sophisticated. what threats are we being faced or will face in the future to acquire an F-16? how bout the weekly & monthly cost of maintaining something you don't really use

If US, Russia, UK, China, Israel are thinking as Backward as this, They wouldn't have built their nuclear arsenal .....

You don't wait till you need it to build it, You must approach your future today ....

If world war should happen tomorrow, this very tomorrow say North Korea should Nuke South Korea & Russia Nuke Ukraine while Arab Coalition Nuke Israel & NATO intervened ...

Where would your country be .... Anything wey we have no matter how small even if to say na from China or Na US dash US.. we sef go sha come out with something to defend ourselves

US, Arabs, China all have Interests in Nigeria & They all know their Interests So what stopped China from launching attacks unto US Interests in Nigeria while US bases also launch attacks at Chinese Interests then Nigeria would be the ground for US-China Contests same way US-Russia turned Ukraine to Ground of their Battles ....

There is no sensibleness in Battles-Wars even if you don't want to come in, You can be dragged in by any Rogue Nation if you failed to defend yourself, you shall be levelled!

We must become a first world nation for Black Race if the Opportunities Present Itself !

We should be building ours and if we can't build a stealth fighter jets atlast we should be able to build millions of attack drones.

Our brains are the ones building these drones for advanced countries but here at home we look down on ourselves.

If we can invest in attack drones, we will reduce human casualties and be on the league of modern warfare.

We can use drones as surveillance to comb most especially sambisa forest and chad basin to weed them off terrorists and eliminate them without threat of human casualties.

This can be the task of Nigerian military but no our govt play politics

Latakia:
Denmark is a member of NATO, Nigerian airforce will not even be allow under international law of war to use F-16. Nigeria is not a threat to her neighboring countries neither are her neighboring countries threat to her, we are not fighting war and we don't need such heavy and expensive fighter jets. Our national security threat are the insurgents and bandits in the Northeast and Northwest and you can't use lighter fighter Jets like tucano in some instances and not always on them , it's against the law. You can only use lighter jets for such monsters.

You Don't wait for Evils to Strike before you beefed up your arsenal ... Our Pilot need to be trained in Advance Warfare .. Where do all of una come from sef ....

Imagine China not Advancing her military wares can she turn down requests from US without "Consequences" ....

If you don't have kuraku nobody will respect you among the league of Nation ...

Pilot that has never handle big machine before & a Nation that has never experienced big tools before would ever be ignorant about contemporary warfare because we would be stuck to world war II war tactics ......

We should possessed all Military Equipments Possessed by US & Lord Over The Entire Subsaharan Africa .... If You Don't have what it takes, You can never advanced & You will always be a Puppet to be used & Abused !

Nigerian Problem is Beyond Nigerian Leaders other than they(Our leaders) having their own Immaturities.... We need to start purchasing then learning to build our own ....

It is a steep learning curve for us but with commitments we shall get there ....

Nigeria is that country that can rescue the black Humanities from Themselves if well strategised !

the image you posted is of the JF-17 not the FN-7I.

Sibetolo:
We have not come close to conventional war with Niger in the recent times Besides, our immediate threats DO NOT warrant acquisition of the fighters in the range of the mentioned F16. We are not a world power in our capacity economy, sociology and ideology. Bragging right shouldnot be a reason to acquiring operational level military hardwares. marched with

You Can't suddenly wake up & become world power ... There is a journey to everything & if this is how we proceed so be it .... US wasn't like today in Worldwar II but they never stopped Advancing & here we are same for Most Developed Nations in The world ...

It is What it is in the Military Sector ... It is not as if we bought Carrier or Submarines(Which We really needed) to Manned Our Atlantic Oceans Because Presence of such Other than National Pride would make Pirates to Think Further before their Pursuits of Evils to Good Course in the maritime sector !

Our Military Plays Politics ... Terrorism can be wiped out within twinkle but the political issues therein is inhibiting the Military approach !

Nigeria can only manufacture killing and hunger..
Kudos to una...

Gentle ooo. Exactly what I noticed

This is a picture of F-7

Chengdu should be from china. I would have loved the F22 raptor and I don't know if Nigeria can afford F35 lightening.

Impressive.....

Until you have to face MIGS and F-16s or even Sukhoi's and lets not forget Dassaults too

I would expect Nigeria to have a decent number of F-16s at least

Azazyel:

F22....yeah right?

How do you propose getting that?

Even if Nigeria could afford it, no way USA will sell them to Nigeria. Even Britain does not have F22s

pafo:


Are we facing threats from anyone to consider the buying the more sophisticated jets??

We are still a 3rd world country.

We are currently facing threats from politicians and their thugs....!!

Is that not enough ground to acquire some sound machines...?


The current situation in Nigeria now is liken to a civil war and all thanks to them stupid politicians...!!

Now where is the ghedu from China
Cos that is not the pix. of the fighter.

You cant use a fighter jet for internal conflicts lol plus is it not the same politicians that controls the people who use the jets??

25m dollars is no small money for a country with 100m poor people and not even accounting for the exorbitant maintenance fee of those aircratfs plus the technocal know-how to even pilot one.

Lets leave the sophisticated weapons for the sophisticated nations and battle our fulani herdsmen and boko haram issues first.

Atheistan:
Where is the source of this information please.
The Aircraft has no Nigerian emblem.
The Signposts at the event is unreadable.
The Aircraft name Chinese (of course i expect our Militaryto be too lazy to rename).

Nairaland is faceless doesn't mean it should be baseless and allow unverifiable posts make to FP.
