Lol...U might be obsessed with Nigeria but ur assertion is way out of line and out of ignorance. ...

Please expantiate and let's see your facts and reason. ........

tdayof:
My point is against Chad's mig-29. We're enough to defend against our own neighbors. Except if the big guys like France will be interfering.

So what's wrong with the Chad's Mig's.

Let's not underrate any attack, 10-15 years ago if they ever tEllis me Nigeria will be fighting one of worlds dangerous and deadliest terrorist, I would deny it.


There are a lot of tension going on with our land borders with Cameroon and Chad. AND NEVER , EVER Under estimate the capabilities of your enemy. And even when they av superior air assets over you.

tdayof:
Any jet can shoot down a superior fighter in my opinion. Imagine a super Tucano with AAM. If the Tucano is able to stay in a right position ( at the back of a SU-35) and then fires and AAM, it's obviously a kill for the Tucano.


In as much as some parameters are being fulfilled, it's possible.

The probability is 50/50.

tdayof:
One on one nope. 4 F-7 on a Chad's Mig 29 won't be a fare fight. You can't chase the 4 jets together. Depending on tactics being used, if the Mig 29 has a lead on one but have 3 f-7 on its tail ready to fire?

One on one the probability of an F7 shooting down a Mig29 is very, very slim.


4F-7 on one Mig29.......

And what if two, three or more Mig's attacks from different direction, what will the airforce do with limited interceptors . Don't forget we av only six air worthy FN-7 . So u attack for F7 just to bring down a Mig29. That would result to a collateral lost.

The bottom line is that we don't av what it takes to defend our air space.

SSBN:
The Chadian Air Force have two things going for them. Early warning radar systems and Eastern European mercenary pilots very good at flying Fulcrums and the venerable SU-24 Frogfooth, thats basically a flying tank. What can Nigeria do? Our Tin Sheild radar systems are deployed around airbases and are too few to make any strategic sense. We have virtually no aur defense systems and we have failed to plug that air defense gap with a sensible number of interceptors. Even two squadrons of the F-7 Chenngdu Air Guard interceptor will at least give Nigeria the some modest ability to harass and intercept hosptile aircrafts...
But no.. we are just contented with having just 6 airworthy F-7N interceptors to protect 936,000 km of Nigeria's territory that holds one of the largest energy reserve and oil infrastructure known to man. Our leaders are either selfish, illiterates, or both with misplaced petty PDP,APC who defected to which party nonsense as priorities and we the Nigerian people will suffer unjustly from their greed and incompemtence.

Well said mate.

lionel4power:
Bros... technically its an interceptor. (According to odunayaw) it should be able to hold its own against the MiGs, if the conditions are right.

Of course I know it's an interceptor .....

But can it stand a more superior fighter jets(Mig29).

nemesis4u:
arent these radars installed in NAF airbases ?

Yes they are installed at the Maiduguri and Yobe state respectively airforce base.

Odunayaw:
But on this same thread I have laid to rest the question of radar cover

The NAF uses the Russian P17,P35 and Tin Shield. Except Chadian Air force lads can fly nap of the earth perfectly they would be detected

The TRACON is also there. The NAF's issue is now networking it with their radars

the F7 may not be top of the line but it will do what it was built for. Intercept

Honesty I av not taken the P35 and thin shield radar into consideration. Thanks for refreshing our memories.

But the the question is how integrated are these hard ware to extend our airspace-eye reach.

lionel4power:
this is an argument for strong men..... hahaha

but to avoid long discussion let's just leave it.

Please don't let us leave it.

Can NAF F7 jets stop Chadian Mig29.....

CHADIAN AIR FORCE MiG-29s fighter jets spotted ATTACKING ABUJA.,

cc Supremecourt1, SSBN, bidexii

I don't trust the Chadian. But if such things happens it would really tarnish the image of the armed forces, especially the NAF.

Our F-7 can go a long way in stopping the MIG-29s. But the thing is they would av striked before been detected.

The question his; what security measures do we have or put in place in detecting intruders from getting into our airspace.

Like the turkey/russia saga, how much time did it take the Turkey airforce jet for it to be airborne?
How did they dictect an intruder into there airspace and how did they took it down !

It's not only having the Mig or Su' jets that matters

Arrived! #Angola #Su30

Soon CZ-807 is gonna ba #Egypt's military standard assault rifle, Will be produced in EG ��

SupremeCourt:
AVM Chukwu is telling lies tpo himself and to those who dont check facts. I saw the video and ignored it, but with people saying things I will drop a comment.

NAF is the biggest thief in Nigerian military history, as in 2011-2015 Nigeria spent over $ 15 billion on defence alone!!!

Algeria spent $ 8 billion on the fantastic weapons purchases that you see in photos all over the internet, it made Algeria the undisputed most modern military in Africa and the second most powerful after Egypt according to global firepower.

Compare Nigerian military to Algerian military in terms of equipment, then put your tribe, religion and political party aside for 10 minutes, I am sure your God given conscience will tell you that Nigerian military 2011-2015 was the most corrupt in the world.

Why did NAF not replace their Jaguars when oil was $100 a barrel and we gave them around $ 4 billion from defence budget? Instead Air Marshals Badeh, Amosu, Umar etc all purchased billion naira mansions in Abuja and Lagos, then forcing NAF to keep flying 30 year aged Alpha jets.

Where was political will in 2011-2015 ? Today oil is down to $50 a barrel our government is spending over $ 360 million on those 12 new mi-35m hind e helicopters alone, and we ll finally replace Jaguar with jf-17, alpha jet with yak-130, and mig-21 with mig-29 or mig-35. This is the current political will in the era of falling oil price and many hungry people on our streets starving to coma. My friends in Abuja always blame our hunger on current defence budget because it is either we buy enough weapons or we buy enough food in our war with Boko Haram, its a hard choice and we all know. Give us oil at $100 a barrel today and you will see mig-35 land in NAF TAC base Makurdi in NAF colors.

If you want to make Nigeria great again, senate should pass new law of death sentence for corruption like China did to save itself from Chinese corruption and become great.

Now silence your God given conscience and put on your Nigerian tribal, religious and political feelings again, then tell me to go to hell.

NAF the biggest thief..?

Was the whole $15 billion spent on the NAF alone ?

Was the $15 billion truly spent on defence or was siphoned by jonathan lead thief's and Co.

Two-third of that money was not spent on defence, so who are you blaming the then CDS, CAS or the politicians ...

Let's get our facts right.

NAF REORGANIZES AIR COMBAT STRUCTURE IN NORTHEAST, SENDS FEMALE OFFICER OVERSEAS FOR FIGHTER PILOT TRAINING

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has reorganized its air combat structure in the Northeast for increased operational efficiency. The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, disclosed this during his opening remarks at the CAS Fourth Quarter Conference, which commenced at NAF Headquarters today, 11 December 2017. According to the CAS, the Air Component Commander has been replaced with a Commander Air Task Force (CATF), an Air Vice Marshal (a 2-star General), who reports to the overall Theatre Commander. The new CATF is Air Vice Marshal Idi Lubo, who was serving as the Air Component Commander. The NAF has also appointed three Divisional Air Liaison Officers (DALO) for the 3 Armoured Division as well as 7 and 8 Divisions of the Nigerian Army in the Northeast. The whole idea is to ensure a better coordination of air efforts with ground operations. Besides, the NAF has appointed an Air Liaison Officer for the Theatre Command to further limit the possibility of gaps in operations. Air Marshal Abubakar further stated that a Nigerian female pilot, for the first time in the history of the NAF, was on the way to the United States Air Force for training as a fighter pilot. The female pilot had earlier this year graduated as the overall best pilot during ab-initio training at 401 Flying Training School Kaduna.

In terms of progress made by the NAF in the preceding 3 months, the CAS indicated that 24 pilots had completed their training and would soon be deployed for operational duties. The NAF had also reactivated additional platforms which had been deployed for operations in the Northeast. In particular, one Bell 412 Helicopter had been added to the NAF fleet while work on the second Bell Helicopter would be completed before the end of December 2017. Additionally, one Mi-35P Helicopter would be ready for operation before the end of January 2018, as the overhauled engines needed for its reactivation had arrived in Nigeria. Air Marshal Abubakar added that the reactivation was being done locally to further build the capacity of NAF technical personnel while equally saving cost. Accordingly, the NAF invited foreign technical experts to execute the project in conjunction with its engineers and technicians. The CAS further reported that 2 additional Mi-35M helicopters recently procured for the NAF by the Federal Government had been test flown in Russia and should be operational in Nigeria by February 2018. In all, 5 combat helicopters are being added to enhance ongoing NAF counterinsurgency efforts.

To boost the strategic and operational airlift capability of the NAF, Air Marshal Abubakar stated that the Periodic Depot Maintenance (PDM) of C-130H Aircraft NAF 917 had commenced in Lagos. The PDM was also being done locally by foreign technical experts in conjunction with NAF personnel towards building capacity of NAF technical personnel. Similarly, the Service life of C-130H aircraft NAF 913 had been successfully extended. In the area of Force Protection, the NAF was reported to have trained additional Regiment personnel as Special Forces and deployed them to the Northeast for operations alongside other surface forces. Moreover, the NAF had graduated the second set of participants from its Air War College in Makurdi. The new graduates are expected to add value to the Service in general and in operational activities. In ending his opening remarks, the CAS enjoined the senior officers to be frank in their contributions, identify emerging challenges and proffer ways of further moving the NAF forward.

The aim of the CAS Fourth Quarter Conference 2017, which holds from 11-12 December 2017, is to appraise progress attained in the NAF since the last Quarterly meeting held in Kaduna 3 months ago. The idea behind the Conference was also to obtain inputs from the bottom to the top such that ideas would be shared towards moving the NAF forward. Participants in the Conference include the Commandant of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College Jaji, the Chief of Defence Intelligence, Branch Chiefs from HQ NAF, Air Officers Commanding, Group Managing Director of NAF Holding Company, Commandant of the Air Force Institute of Technology Kaduna and all Air Vice Marshals serving in Abuja. Other participants were Managing Directors of various NAF companies, Directors from HQ NAF and NAF field commanders from its various bases. The Conference is still ongoing in Abuja.

Nice, where av they been all these years...

Odunayaw:
DHQ signed some with Nigerian Society of Engineers and Metallurgy union or something like that
NAF? they were having a party

But I believe In the head of the NAF sha, Putting together an aviation industry isn't beans at all neither is it a one year job. I just clamor for more snippets. Man shall not live by hope alone

Abii now..

krattoss:
that's a T72 tank and not an APC..
Yes it can withstand an RPG shot but not multiple fires...
But it may take out some electrical connections. .

Now, it depends on some factors if anot RPG is going to withstand just a round?

Is the T72MBT fixed with add on ERA ARMOR.

What type of RPG round etc....

But lats use the common RPG-7 round as a standard Base for our discussion.

If the T72 is without an ERA armour, the probability the it's going to withstand an RPG is very low. Especially if it's being hit on top body which is the softess part of a T72.

And the t72 has a disadvantage due to its design which is been corrected in the T14 Armature. The munitions are been stored at the lower compartment, in front of the tank making it volunrable has compared to its western or European MBT.

But the T72 is still a destructive yet cheap MBT......

T-72 kwanu? Bros shey na true ni? Cc: Bidexiii

And now to your question if I get you right?

Can these APC Withstand an RPG.....the Nigerian is a CAPITAL NO !!!

krattoss:

That's a STEYR APC and not a T72 MBT.

Can these apc's/shilkas withstand a hit 4rm an RPG? Cc: Bidexiii

You mean the AAG mounted on the STEYR APC ?
