TayserMahri: You dont need to upgrade. Just get basic things right first Stop killing civilians with your airforce You dont need Mi-35 right now. You cant engage BH with advanced weapons. Get little birds and see how they do wonders against terrorists. We use them to great effect in Somalia. When Kenya and Naija need to fight we can compare our more advanced arsenal. Those F5s we call them lumberjacks in Kenya.
So that's what you guys have reduced them to? lumberjack? We have some gazelles (cousin of little bird) but they are mostly for reconnaissance.But we are developing our own combat chopper for counter terrorism. And Nigeria has a more advanced air force than Kenya! At least we don't have 'lumberjacks'
TayserMahri: My bad! Im big fan of Apache not sure how I missed that. Upload larger photos next time . Looked like an apache from a single glance but now I see the differences in the gunships and the fire control radar. Most badass attack chopper ever built bar none! The thing goes low key in valleys/behind mountains only peeping using its radar at the top and then appears from nowhere to attack. Insane!
How is your airforce ahead of Kenya with the Mi 35 that you havent acquired yet?
I agree.The apache is pretty badass! I wish we could buy those. And yes we have gotten some mi35s. They are already seeing combat! Uploading pics of Nigerian mi35s
TayserMahri: It has happened repeatedly not a single isolated incident. At one time your airforce took out over 100 civilians in a refugee camp!! Didnt they know there was a camp there? Some of the Chibok girls were killed by Nigerian fighter jets. Your airforce actually fires missiles to warn clashing tribesmen. WTF? In Kenya we use the police to check such tribal clashes however deadly. To use the military you need parliament approval.
The issue is that this is within your very own borders. USA never bombs its citizens inside the USA. Neither does Kenya. Gathering intel in a foreign country is not comparable to home. You just dont do such a blunder in your own territory. It would be understandable if you do it in neighboring Niger but not in your very own soil. Unless your govt isnt in control of the north and views it as a separate state.
Assuming the claims by human rights groups were right, only 5 civilians died in that case, this is in a refugee camp with hundreds of civilians. If the refugee camp had been directly hit then you can imagine the casualty figure to have been higher, perhaps over a hundred (with the Nigerian mishap in mind). Simple logic. The reality is that the strike targeted an Alshabaab base located close to a town (and refugee camp) where terrorists were meeting. One of the more martyred terrorists in a bid to score cheap propaganda points drove a hit and burning technical into the refugee camp where it killed the 5. If the camp had been truly erroneously targeted, even the MSF workers would have been killed, which never happened, otherwise they would have bellowed for the world to hear. And this was just 2-3 weeks after Kenyan troops entered Somalia so our intel could be excused if need be.
The Somali govt hasnt raised an issue over such because it is sensationalist agenda-driven journalism. Leave the NGOs alone they make a lot of noise and help nothing. Kenyan strikes are so well executed the line between accidental and intended is so thin you need an investigation in any case.
Notice how none of the Kenyan air strikes took place on a village. Mostly in deserts and around watering points. Notice also the tiny casualty figure. In most strikes you find dozens of terrorists killed and a few collateral civilians who happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. You'll never hear the Kenyan military accede to shelling the wrong target (like happens in NA) or blatantly accepting they fired warning missiles to civilians so they can stop tribal clashes The last bombs dropped in Kenya by the Kenyan airforce was in 1982 during an attempted coup in which the fighter pilot duped his hijacker, after a few mind-dizzying maneuvers and dropped the bombs on Mt. Kenya and told him he had bombed Nairobi.
Nigeria's air force is still superior despite the accidents.Fact remains fact.
Keep enjoying your second hand Vietnam veteran fighters! We are upgrading to the flanker!! Ain't no body gat time for second hand f5s and cropdusters!(this still cracks me up)
Apache!!!! Always get your facts right before dissing! It's an mi35!!! Not every combat chopper is an apache!!! Nigeria is light years ahead of Kenya when it comes to air force!!!
FreddyKruger: When trying to sell puppies always endeavour to upload parent pictures. Also if u have evidence of mating then u also upload as well.
I was thinking the same.I can't even tell if they are gsd or not due to the age and fur pattern.I would have required parents pictures as i havent seen this type before.This would have scared me away if I was a potential buyer.
Ibrahimanis: Those are not Nigeria's Try these instead
Alpha jets
F-7s
Those are actually Nigeria's.They are su30s.One of the most manuevreable out there.Nigeria ordered about 12 to 20 from Russia recently.2 have reportedly arrived.Soon well also have these Embraer super tucano jf17 thunder more mi35 seriously our air force is super compared to Kenya's!
tylann: Why should i Google Nigerian influence in Africa which is non existent , you can't even influence your self and you are dreaming of influencing other African countries
Your only influence is exporting crime to other african countries
Blah blah blah Google it and be amazed. Or are you scared of seeing the truth?
tylann: Let them make toothpicks first i heard they even import toothpicks
You think it's every plant that's used to make toothpicks? And Nigerians have made these helicopter Armoured personnel carriers Cars Tractors submersible helicopters Domestic equipment like hangers and toothbrushes Drugs Infantry fighting vehicles Unguided rockets Surveillance drones The list is getting long.I should stop
