Lol the way you like to refer or lemme say throw jabs at that particular moniker eh.
It's starting to look like HATE.

everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion around here. Las Las na public forum be this.

And if you even get to think about it. Even the army drops lies that shakes everywhere like a bomb shell on a regular basis.

Nobody holy pass.

Xbee007:
I guess it is the number of crew that actually matters.

The Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance aircraft and fighter jets of @NigAirForce spotted some terrorists in their gun trucks and vectored the jets to engage them, neutralizing one of the gun trucks and its occupants. Watch video pic.twitter.com/IMx0ST1CpG

[/b]Seen far too many private companies get stuffed by government or army hierarchy change. If Proforce after investing significant sums could get iron clad agreements to supply the government, even better.

Great revenue stream too. Gabion walls, shoreline defences and so are some of the other uses.[b]

BlackBaron:
Kinda ish I like!
Instead of going for $1 million 'Lamborghini' drones. Dicon should get serious and look for an OEM Chinese/Nigerian factory or get 'Hesco Gabion' machines, install them and start manufacturing this.
I already seen NA engineers with excavators.

[/b]This would save COUNTLESS LIVES.[b]

You armchair Generals again speaking on operational matters you think you know about. Have you ever considered that there are nowhere near enough platforms in the air force's inventory to maintain a 24 hour coverage of the NE? And you have the platforms scattered over the country on different operations.
Then there is also downtime involving maintenance etc. Only 80% of not many platforms are available at any time. The Airforce needs a lot more close air support aircraft and attack helicopters than they currently have when you look at the size of the NE. There are also aircraft tasked on other missions and as such also not available at your beckon call.

More advanced countries are more successful in responding because they have aircraft available in the air near 24/7 as they have numbers as well as air to air refuelling to keep them airborne for long periods and available to attack when required with Forward Air Controllers always on the ground (I am sure a few people here think a pilot will just show up with his aircraft and immediately know friend from foe).

This is where the Tucano will be helpful with their loiter time as we don't have air to air refuelling to keep aircraft in the air longer. The pilots are getting trained, what we need now are the platforms in significant numbers.

The way we pad our helicopters with equipment that isn't factory fitted aka follow come is an eye sore to me honestly. I know NAF has to work with very limited budget, but we can do better sha.
See like them pad that Agusta Helicopter (AW109) that shit is not meant for battle one catapult aimed at the engines will bring it down, this is aside limiting the range, efficiency/agility.

If we won't buy Hesco, why not have a local solution.

Between running away (AWOL) and Insulting the Military Cheifs? Which is worse?

dragon2:
Depends on who you are talking about.
The USAF that hates the A10 think the freaking expensive F35 is the solution, but the special operations command wisely believe that prop planes will do the job in low threat insurgency situations.

Jelal0007:
gutter na where him go always descend into.

carsprayer:
There is an uploaded video by Sahara Reporters on Facebook where an Army Personel is insulting all the Military Cheifs. This is totally wrong and should be discouraged. If you are tired of the Job, resign and stop insulting your superior.

komekn:
You are now descending into the gutter with your diction. By all means disagree with but substantively not with emotive sentiment based ramblings.

So considering all that have l presented tell me one item that is not a fact or untrue in the first instance. And then you are absolutely entitled to disagree with my opinion but why would be an act of expected courtesy.

It was those facts that underpin my deduction l will concede l may have been slightly ambiguous in my position on the Alpha Jet upgrade. And it could be construed l have given the Alpha Jet ISTAR capability.

The Alpha Jet, for the avoidance of doubt, is not with its very limited loiter time of 3.5 hours is not a viable alternative for ISTAR.
