[size=20pt]With what money?? Your government is broke!![/size]

See change of tactics!..I thought you claimed that the T129 ATAK-H wasnt worth mentioning?

stillchris:
yeah. in service as a dud on display - what do you want to shoot with a dud?

dont tell me you dont know that the mokopa missile is a modernized guinea fowl hunting projectile....surely you can shoot down a few guinea fowls with the antiquated dud.

xwolverine:
T-129: advanced millimetre wave radar (MILDAR), similar to the Longbow and the IAI/ELTA radars.
Rooivalk: Doppler radar and GPS ( obsolete piece of junk)

T-129: AGM-114 Hellfire missiles (the best in the world even the Reaper drones and advanced American systems use it)
Rooivalk: Mokopa missile ( sounds like makossa no offence) **mokopa isn't in service with the SAAF**

lol @ 'makossa'

@ervan.. what we africans face today is as a result of the failures of african leaders...we need to distance ourselves from their failures.i strongly condemn this kind of argument,its unhealthy.Africa is faced with "Xenophobic" attacks in south africa and this kind of argument won't help us at all.

Yet we hail the visionless leaders who initiated this whole sinister hurricane of continental disaster,we enshrine them as heroes and elevate them to the status demi-gods.
I once heard a speech given by Alh. Sir Amadu Bello{Former Premiere of Northern Nigeria},and I was shocked at the religious/tribalist vituperations and incitive statements that composed the bulk of his speech:
"The new entity called Nigeria is an estate of our father Uthman dan Fodio...."{an excerpt from the speech given by Alh. Sir Amadu Bello}
.
This were the people who plunged our continent into the blazing cyclone of destruction and serial backwardness it is today,yet we hail them as heroes

ukemeramat:
@thiza... u need more than this(clean stream and kits) a make a good diver... wen it comes to the sea, NN has it. they are not even up to the amphibious hit men in the nigerian army. this guys up in those pix cant survive the gulf of guinea. so just base your arguement on your army, there you have more power..

An unbiased patriot.
Perhaps you could do a fair job of constricting your understandable verbal rebukes to a more secluded medium,But I must admit that it is quite rare to encounter people who are not distracted by misguided attacks against their ideology and personality.

MikeCZAR:
. Libya had better air defence systems than Nigeria today.
If a need to destroy S-400 system arose thee Rafale can.

Libya had heavy military tech. but had little trained manpower to properly wield them all.
Bombing libya was successful partly because their was a lot of nuclear tipped missiles involved and also because libya didnt have enough manpower to challenge invading forces due to fighting simultaneous wars against local militias,insurgents and renegade islamic cults.
No matter how powerful the rafale is,it cannot evade or destroy the S-400 ADM in a dedicated combat.

agaugust:
Israeli forces suffered very heavy equipment losses in their last war with Egypt....it was a stalemate....draw....no winner
.

That was mainly because Isreali army overtly depended on tanks rather than its infantry,most of isreal's 'loss' in battle stems from too many machines but too little infantry on ground for situation awareness.In certain terrains and forts,too many war machines hinder rather than aid battle efforts.That been said,the Isreali military remains the strongest military force in the middle east.

Good news!!,this will further rub hot pepper on idris deby's manhood,afterall i'm sure shekau will have many interesting secrets to spill once he gets captured.

Good to know that someone is thinking beyond the 'oyel money'.
Why a country that is constructing hi-tech surveillance drones and hyper-space orbit satellites cannot build 4th generation fighter jets is a question that boggles the mind.Nigeria has the uncanny habit of being able to do huge things,yet lacking the will to set up the most basic innovations{not that a fighter jet is anywhere near basic,but still....I'm not impressed}.

stillchris:
This is not a d1ck measuring contest, but i'm very proud of our military right now. even though the international community and media refuse to acknowledge it (since good news coming out of Africa is not good for business), i will not be decieved.
The Nigerian military has set a record by rescuing 600 captives with just one casualty from a terrorist stronghold known for it's extremely difficult terrain. sambisa is almost free.
This in less than a week.
Abeg, 1 million gbosa to our boys in uniform.
saffers. feel free to hate/envy

gbosa!,gbosa!!,gbosa!!!,gbosa!!!!...
Indeed!,now if only we could seek more cordial strategic military partnership with the west,then surely power will steadily slitter into our palm.
We really need to begin an aggressive development of our defence industry and complex,and with substantial assistance from helpful western partners,we will have a super powerful defence structure in a few years.

Such is the result when a country lacks functioning customs institutions; especially immigration services.Why would any functioning country appear so powerless to purge itself of illegal immigrants and set proper custom policies in place?,why complaining instead of taking decisive actions against alledged "illegal" immigrants?
SA is a country that is witnessing an alarming rate of decay in its sociopolitical institutions due to massive greed and corruption.
Plagued with visionlessness,a stagnant economy and misplaced arrogance,SA is indeed earning its notorious reputation as "the fading rainbow",a nation buried deep into the oozing whirlpool of violence and mediocrity.
SA has lost all of the tattered shred of fickle reputation cloaking it from eternal shame,even countries like Malawi and Zimbabwe are now publicly spitting and sneering at the shrivelled husk of what was formally a great nation built by the Anglophones and Dutch,but now immersed in a never ending state of sociopolitical quagmire.

agaugust:
Exactly bros, plus the Rafale jet technology itself...the Indians are getting some Rafale tech secrets....while France wants a market for it's jet
.

And the Indians are providing more than enough market through sheer expense and quantity of purchase,India's increased interest in the rafale will also boost global confidence in the capabilities of the jet,especially among eastern and arabic countries where countries are stock-piling weapons as if it is chilled orijin due to ever escalating tensions.
As a reward,India is expecting heavy tech transfer;and knowing france's history,they wont be so obstinate for long,not in the face of weapon dollars.
At the end of the day,both sides win.symbiotic exploitation.

Henry120:
I assure you,there's nothing the Rafale does better than the Super-hornet or the SU-35. They are all 4++ generation aircrafts.
The question of radar is of the equation as developed nations operate an Air-defence umbrella which combines Awacs,fighter jets,EG's,ground radar stations and SAM's to all data linked to form a wider defence bubble.
SU-30m2 allows for seamless integration of western avionics.So IAI or Rafael(israel) could supply some of the best western avionics.
Qatar may be buying them as a status bubble,but a serious military nation like india know they've paid too much for them.
So what does the Rafale do,that is worth €120 million a pop for a single unit.

In the case of India,this overpriced purchase may be a prognosis to India's quest to acquire the french:
*top notch nuclear submarines
*superior military aviatech
*nuclear missile tech and thermonuclear fusion test facility.
The best way to do all these is to acquire deep pockets and impress france

@Henry120
The Rafale can be considered a 'magic' combat aircraft due to its powerful capabilities in battle,western fighter jets are most renown for their superior radar capabilities and avionic configurations,moreso for the rafale which is a flying piece of technology that has held the gaze of the world with its extraordinary performances in modern warfare.
Naturally,a 4+ generation capable fighter jet with such a low quantity of production will be very expensive to purchase for any foreign nation.
Qatar may be going for the rafale due to the appealing prestige attached to it,but lets not forget that these countries all have ulterior motives to their seemingly wasteful actions,many eastern nations are eyeing the delicious prospect of acquiring tech transfer for the indigenous production of the rafale,while some are even scrambling to acquire extremely ambitious military tech such as nuclear submarines and ICBM technology from france,such nations are willing to pay any amount to realize their quest.

MikeCZAR:
Encroached?

madman

I would assume you mean 'liberates'.
The towns werent ceded by the government of the FRN to terrorist forces of boko haram/Islamic State in West Africa in the first place.
BH/ISWA temporarily encroached into those towns on illegal grounds to spread terror and propaganda,therefore we lost NO territory in the first place and hence,it would be an error to apply grave terms such as; "reclaim" or "recapture" to decribe such domestic criminal acts.

@lezz is a man who posts off topic and thinks that opinion is fact
This is a military thread.
If you wish to discuss other topics, go elsewhere.

heheh..wetin u expect?
@lezz is their special taskmaster,the ruthless tzar of the pandemic nuisance called south africa.
lol.If these southies could lay hands on Nigerians on this forum,they would have descended into their typical animalistic mobocratic mentallity and clubbed us to death...but no shaking,naija is severely mouthed!!

iceberg54:
Of which......I doubt if we have the capability to carry out that kinda covert operation. Even the 'bigger countries' who had their citizens killed dare not try that.

Like u said, they orchestrated their own deaths. RIP to them anyways!

Indeed,such action is an act of espionage and could be termed as an attempt to instigate public unrest or even a declaration of war.
Not to mention the international outrage that would ensue if the mission goes awry.
Anyway,Indonesia is in for a very rough future.

There is nothing more the FG could have done to save the Nigerians on the death row in indonesia{except sending in covert intelligence operatives to break them out of jail,a move which would have been highly suspicious and dangerous}; they were caught breaking the law of another land,they had to face the heavy punishment meted out for such an offence in the land.
RIP to the dead,may God forgive and grant them an heavenly abode.

Operatives of the Nigerian Joint Special Forces have captured a Boko Haram HVT today in a snatch and grab operation in Borno.

Know your history otherwise we will EXPOSE YOU.

Professor of International Law And Jurisprudence at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Professor Akin Oyebode, who is also a delegate at the ongoing National Confab in Abuja suggested among other things that “Nigeria” is a colonial name bequeathed by colonial ruler, Lord Lugard as suggested to him by his “girl friend”, Flora Shaw.

I can see that you are Shekau's younger brother; you have no coherent thoughts or process of speech.
Did i ever claim that Nigeria wasnt named by a British high born?,why then did you feel the urge to splash this thread with unnecessary gibberish about colonialism?.
Even an adolescent in basic 2 knows the history of Nigeria.

Atleast I have LECTURED AND EDUCATED many people on the HISTORY THREADS. today I have Afro Jamaicans,Brazilians etc...who FOLLOWED UP MY SOURCES AND FOUND OUT I WAS TELLING THE TRUTH. Some are WRITERS/Authors today and quote some of my sources on their books.

Somehow,i find that extremely hard to believe.list names of authors who have quoted you as 'credible' source in their phantom books.

You have been on nairaland since july 2013,yet you have only come online for a meagre total of 336 hours throughout your 2 years of registering on nairaland.
This shows that you only come on this forum to make noise and troll whenever you manage to scrape together a few rands to buy internet data,after months of polishing south african shoes.

FighterPilot:
If my military is incapable like that of Nigeria and is for the interest of the people, I will do it. See now the pride of Nigeria had never paid off.

You dont know anything about the Nigerian military,neither do you understand our diplomatic relationship with neighbouring francophone colonies.
It isnt about BH alone,their are other factors playing out underneath the raging brauhaha; which includes resource war and territorial ambition.
Our military strength still remains untarnished,it is a diplomatic and military error for us to allow neighbouring military forces to do the job that our military can do ten times more effectively without casualty.
