Nigerian T-72 tank in Boko war...

The journalists that wrote the stories, where were they when the so called 'NAF bombs' were falling astray from the sky? The journalists were in the bombed zone checking out one by one which falling bomb will miss Boko Haram and land on civilians, and also the journalists were busy driving around during the battle taking records of which house was bombed by jet and watching to differentiate which house is being h.it by RPG, mortar artillery, and shells ? Right ? Yet those journalists inside those destroyed streets are still alive to write stories, right ?.Do you know what a battle zone is like when jets are dropping bombs and soldiers are launching RPG and firing artillery all at the same time? How old are you? 6 years? How developed is your brain? Sardine Fish level?
I thought you said you are one of the SANDF men that fought Seleka, so you too was so free and comfortable like a god in the battlefied of Bangui and you took photos of the damage

You're clearly trolling.

WTF

More like 2 gripens would be enough to fend you off.The F7 is not that good.

andrewza:
2 drop tanks and 2 AAMs and the F7 could not even reach waterkloof if it took off in cape town.
The F7 has no guided weapons for ground attack, limmted air attack.

That's not what the Chief (general) sees. The person with the right information.

No one has bothered to write an artical entitled "a list of equipment the Nigerian military does not have"

mzilakazi:
You are using free fall bombs. The evidence is the civilian property that your military as a result of unguided munition. None of your fighters can discharge precision guided munitions including missiles.

mzilakazi:
NAF is buying jets because F7s are freezing in a deep freezer. Simple!!

When was the last time NAF fired a missile?

agaugust:
MiG-21 and F-7....different name, different manufacturer, different generation, different wings, different radar, different avionics, different ECM, different engine, different missiles, different combat foes when you meet them in the air...

You see the problem is that you don't read. Here's an excerpt from a source of last year March.
[b]The Pakistanis were brought in following several
F-7 crashes and the loss of maintenance
schedules, which resulted in the grounding of the
fleet in October 2012
Why would SAAF want to rearm or whatever you call it when they readily have 26 gripens and 24 hawks fighters? There is a complete difference between rearming and wanting to buy completely new jets. The force buy new jets when their current stock is either fading away or experiencing problems, however, that does not apply to America which always have a taste for new things.
My call is that Nigeria is buying new jets because their current stock is telling telling its life story. Bam!!!
