Sizzorkay:YES. |
jakeporeshenko:That's true the Egyptian airforce are still struggling with it the KA-52, in fact instead ordering more of KA-52 they went for more of AH-64 Apache early Nov last year. I think the problem is not with the attack helicopter itself , it's the limited technical know-how of the EA. They still have to train and master these hardware it's new in there inventory. Even the western/European hardware comes with there problems and little setbacks. These same KA-52 is giving ISIS a bloody nose and tough time in syria, the question is how come the Egyptians are finding it difficult to operate ![]() It's my own opinion, I might be wrong ![]() The Mi-28, Mi-35m and Ka-52 are the most capable platforms in the Russian military for targeting and conducting self-generated precision attacks, whether ATGMs, cannon or rockets. Both also use the 80mm rockets as their main weapons, but unlike so many other Russian aircraft, they have modern targeting systems to find and destroy targets with greater accuracy than any Russian platform before them. Utilizing the OPS-28 Tor targeting turret with TV and FLIR capability (future airframes will carry the mast mounted NO25 radar similar to the American AH-64 Apache), the Mi-28 first saw combat outside Palmyra and have been seen operating in pairs. The Ka-52, with its counter-rotating coaxial rotor blades, is the only attack helicopter to have ejection seats, which fire after the rotor blades have been detached by explosive charges installed in the blade fastenings. For targeting the Ka-52 carries a nose mounted FH01 Myech-1U radar along with the GOES-451.2 TV/FLIR system combined with laser targeting and designation. These advanced systems of the Ka-52 were recently used to help Syrian forces liberate Palmyra, which the Syrian government had to abandon in December 2016 to ISIS. Working with Russian Air Force Su-25 Frogfoots, the KA-52s provided targeting for the ground attack aircraft, allowing for round the clock attacks on ISIS positions. Left for me I would prefer the T129 ATAK ![]() |

JUST IN.... The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. General Yusuf Buratai, was at the battlefield to provide direction and boost the morale of fighting soldiers as the military launched a grand air and ground offensive against terrorists in Borno State Monday. The 120 Battalion of the newly formed Nigerian Army Special Forces Command neutralised 100 terrorists in different battlegrounds on day one of the offensive. Buoyed by the Chief of Army Staff’s presence and motivation, the troops in the frontline are in renewed positive fighting spirit across the theatre to stop incursions and annihilate the terrorists. The battle has now further shifted to the fringes of Lake Chad and other suspected Boko Haram terrorists enclave along the borders. |
Just In: Boko Haram fighters currently burning down houses in Ajilari, at the outskirts of Maiduguri, not far from Gomari. Burning of houses or a whole community is a signature attack of Shekau’s faction. Important to note that Ajilari is in Maiduguri. |

nemesis8u:The firearms where intercepted in Lagos seaport. For the Far North where there are porous border with chad, Niger and cameroon definitely such syndicates will exist. |
nemesis8u:I totally disagree with you on these nemesis8u, let's figure these out ? Last year in Nigeria in more than 4 ovvasion piles of shotguns & cartridge loaded in containers where seized by the Nigerian customs. Same type of firearms where seized from smugglers or terrorists in Egypt and Lybian . Not one or two occasions. I think there is a new organized syndicate behind all these. They are finding there ways into conflict areas. The last report I heard on the investigation of those importing these firearms into Nigeria was; the company who's name was used in importing these firearm was in Abuja, getting to the address it turned out to be a residential apartment. Few arrest where made and that's the last we heard about it. |
jakeporeshenko:Apart from the clear video, the red-sqaure lazed on each terrorist & there technicals movement are what I don't see on previous NAF drone footage in the past years. Only in western movies like; "Eye in the Sky"... The NAF needs more night/all weather assets and precision guided capabilities. |
EVarn:Honestly I av read a lot about Turkish illegal fire arms smuggled through Lybian borders and Egypt-Sanai border. There government should do more to check these menace, these firearms are finding there ways to the middle east and African conflicts arrange. |

sconp:It's a norm............ ![]() Once the coup goes wrong most of these top ranking officers flees to other neighbouring countries together with some top politicians who are also involved. |
ugo4u:They where all errand boys. Most coup are planned by top military officers but executed by junior military officers. |
Algerian1:I would like the NA try these baby out ![]() |
bidexiii:I remember last year, a lot of shotguns containers where siezed by the Nigerian customs. And sources revealed they where imported fromTurkey illegally. We haven't heard any arrest about the smugglers/importers. Where they legal or illegal firearm His turkey the only country producing shotguns and why his it always from Turkey. Me just asking some weird question ![]() |
