South Africa has the 36th largest budget in the world where Nigeria is ranked 8th. You littraly can not match the raw spending power of South Africa if South Africa wanted to throw every thing In to defence

"I really couldn't care less about South Africa blah blah blah....."

That's what his response will be. Meanwhile he cared enough at the time to make a nice bold post about Biro, claiming how we can put the matter to rest. But we'll have to wait and see, perhaps JF-17 isn't cancelled.

I've lost all hope.

I'm no longer borthered with how the situation develops.

Did the minister even mention the Mig-29 at all? He only really spoke about the Yak in passing terms.

If you have a link please post.

There's a very simple answer that some will find difficult to swallow. Its easy making nice drawings, but something completely different when it comes to fabrication. Drawing is nice, actually making is not so easy.

Sorry but I think gotfried is a Namibian NOT a Nambian....

jakeporeshenko:
You just had to drag Nigeria into your daft argument, The amount NAF spends on Jet ful per month alone is enough to cover the cost of any SAAF and NAF friendly exercise.

It’ll be wiser to say we don’t have a requirement for such exercises, or just occupied with the war on terror.

I mean who are you to say what Nigeria can and cannot afford

You don't even know what you're saying, and you expect a reply. You just want to talk for the sake of talking, probably to try impress people here.

Any exercise is conducted with certain goals. If one of those goals is to expose your pilots to real world situations, real world opponents using the best equipment they can use against you (within limits of OpSec)...what value will be gained putting Gripen against Zimbabwean Hawk for example?

South Africa plans to host Exercise Lion Effort 2018, which will hopefully see a host of Gripen users come to our shores next year.

newafricaken254:
is that how you responded to your teachers at school,you must have being a very rude student

newafricaken254:

You left out, "again". And I thought Alex's balls dropping had resulted in some change.

newafricaken254:
answer the question,because we all know that south africa gripen jets have never undertaken any dogfight training exercises with a foreign air force in south Africa or foreign country

According to CNN, the Navy Super Hornet locked onto the Su-22 Fitter at a range of 1.5 miles. The Super Hornet launched an AIM-9X, and the Syrian pilot loosed flares to lure the infrared guided missile away from his fighter. The trick worked, and the American missile missed. The Super Hornet then launched an AMRAAM missile which, using radar guidance, is unaffected by flares. This time the Fitter went down.

GreenandGold:
Always love it when the private security guys do these poses

newafricaken254:
off topic :moment before a syrian SU-22 jet fitter was turned into a fire ball,when a F-18E jet locked on it .then launched a AIM-120 beyond vision range AAM. multiple F-18E jets used their ATFLIR (Advanced Targeting Forward Looking Infra Red) pod filmed the moment the SU-22 fitter jet was locked on,hit and turned into a fireball
