The blue dots in Cameroon and Niger republic are closer airports than Kano.

Why didn't the plane use those French colonies to land since Chad's airport was busy. They had to be "commanded" all the way to Kano. Lol.

Don't mess with Nigeria !!! We are Africa's giant.

Forget about source, the media only reports what they are told. I have my own sources, but I will try to explain to you using geography. Am only trying, it is not worth my time. just take note.

Look at the map below.

Original route (red arrow)- Central African Republic to Chad. As you can see, that plane should not be in Nigeria at all. If Ndjamena airport was busy as they said, there are 4 airports in Chad.

Alternative airports (blue dots)- as you can see, the closest airport is in Cameroon, which is a french baby. Why didn't they divert there. Or at least use the closer airports in Niger republic as shown by blue dots. How did they end up far in Kano?

If the aircraft landed as they claimed, why was the Chief of Air Force present to brief the media. Why not NAMA or FAAN chiefs. Reason bro !!

S400:
any link about this please ?? , are you talking about the russian Antonov-124 that was carrying French military equipment( a gazelle helicopter with ammunition) between Bangui to N'Djamena for . and had to land in Kano because it was out of fuel in 2014 ??

No bro. The plane was forced to land. Pilots fly with sufficient and extra fuel for any journey. Another story said it had a technical fault, one said lack of fuel, lol.

When I say "we separate men from boys", people insult me. But you believe every coded story out there. Smh.

S400:
I didn't mean to be malicious with my words .

i'm activ in military forums for 16 years now , and i follow here in this thread about african and nigerian military news for maybe 4, to 5 years now . and have searched a lot about nigerian air defense capacities in the past ( yes ,on internet only ) , and you have to admit that no official or non-official contract of an advanced new air defense system have been ever released in the past .

as for secret , classified contracts , in secrets hangars, james bond nairalander, i dont believe this things , maybe you can hide some small procurments , but for important contracts even iran , israel , egypt with there billions contracts are released in details from there own allies compagnies ( its business ), even most algerian weapons contract from russia are released , even rumors are published years before contracts , , dont think nigeria have better relationship with russian, US , china's military compganies to hide some secret major advanced weapons contracts ( specially for air defense systems) . and specially that nigerian military budget is low for procurments.

and when you see the nigerian army new weapons delivry ceremony with army chief of staff and medias ! even for small units delivry , i m sur the day nigerian army will get air defense systems we will see them quickly . ( because first role of an air defense system is to deterre , so even most secretive armies let leak some infos of there deterence capacities and even fake news of systems they dont have yet.


So for my personnal view , africcan countries like us , that can't compete with the western armadas in attack , should focus on defense and detere any possible agressor with a strong mobile air defense system , that the bill to pay in case of an agression will be high even if they win in the end , and regarding the Nigerian army case, this is what frustrates me the most about it. ( even if you dont have the same geopolitics as north africa,) but nigeria is surrounded from all parts from french military bases and no modern air defense system or even high military radar detection and EW capacities to protect it if french want to strike your units ( read about what french air forces have done in libya during libyan tchadian war for exemple ) . for me it should be the second priority after finishing with boko haram terrorists.

so again i'm not saying this out of wickedness or to demean the Nigerian army . I feel concerned about your contry and it's just frustrating to see no modern air defense system for a big country like nigeria .

Thanks bro. I understand and appreciate

See ya all later

GeneralFarouq:
Lol, na u finally run go MOD
I thiught u said u could fight dirty

Yes, but that one na mental case. You dont fight a mental person.

Two normal people can fight dirty. Not one normal, the other abnormal. Thats not a match

SuperSixSeven:
Exactly for this reason i left beegeagle. I got frustrated by those attention seekers and fantasy generals.

No no no. Beegeagle was for educated, enlightened top shots, including serving and retired officers across the three services. And discussions were knowledge based.

You obviously did not fit in. Simple

Lol, guys dey vex...

Common guys, what exactly is the problem?

Someone said Nigeria's air defence is non existent ... two people have said "something exists". That should be ok.

Unfortunately, you guys want more info about military air defences, on a public forum with "guests". No sensible govt person will give you such info. Nobody.

If it was about tanks, we can talk ... but military air defence, no no no.

Just accept that something exists. Simple.

sczeska:
Roland SHORADS and manpads with a ton of AA guns are what you call “classified” That you have to give each other coded replies to confirm it’s existence??

Nah. I can't go further please. When men start discussing, I will know. See the red underlined, everyone does same. Classified is classified.

upko:
Maybe if you weren’t posting pure nonsense lies I wouldn’t be here calling you out.

You’re even more delusional if you think you’re special or important and have powers to affect the lives of a random stranger from the comfort of your home in olodi apapa, with borrowed data.
Go and sit your dusty behind down!!!

Mr classified!

This one has been defeated

Someone makes a point, feel free to agree or disagree. But some people want to mock others. When they get beaten they call their muds.

Nonsense, i don't put up with trash. If you mess with me, I will mess you up. Simple.

Lets respect ourselves and agree to disagree.

upko:
“You’re talking in the nonsense, you’re talking in the rubbish, you’re talking in the thing that does not have a good experience, this is not a baby class”

Stop conjuring fantasies and passing it off as reality, I still maintain Nigeria has no top secret sophisticated SAM weaponry hidden in a top secret bunker/facility, the fact that I have to repeat this in 2020 to you tells me you cannot be reasoned with.

Another poster has given coded word that something exists, yet you want proof. Abeg swerve.

upko:

You are "bottom shelf " ... let me deal with the top guns first

Oh goodness, the guy @Fynline just quoted himself

Craze has begun

Fynline:
LoL

Quoting yourself... lol, insolence has begun

We can have a conversation... but if anyone starts garbage, he would be dealt with.

For the records, I did not start trouble...

Fynline:
We all know who is talking here

Don't go there. I will sort it out with you.

GeneralFarouq:
Even the person who said it was not certain, no proof... infact nothing tanhible can be derived from his write-up

Sir, he wrote in coded words. The knowledge is not for people to derive, this is a public forum with hundreds of 'guests'.

Just satisfy yourself that something exists.

upko:
Bro, come down from there.
There is no top secret classified Sophisticated weaponry hiding anywhere, and no you don’t know shi.t!!
This is 2020 not 1987, do you really think Nigeria would procure something major and it’ll remain a secret??

Talking about “few people like us” please stop this faux importance nonsense you’re projecting.

Let me be clear about it. Nigeria has state of the art air-defence systems different from those you know or have seen. Yes, only "people like us" know

This is a post by a fellow comrade, back then when men were discussing issues. That is not me. But it ''separates men from boys''. Pls read.

Oh boy,,, TRACON that has been completed since about 5 years ago. Na wao, someone still waiting for completion.

And these are military experts

LTGEN:
Based on the verifiable fact that an unidentifiable plane once flew over Nigeria and was forced to Land and it caused great embarrassment to the French ,
Nigeria does have a Radar Air Defence System .
This incident happened in the last days of the GEJ administration.
Since then there is physical proof that the NAF has bought some infrastructure regarding Air Radar Infrastructure System .
It is reasonable to expect there is some System is in place.

Thanks Sir. Some people know everything about Nigerian military from nairaland. They do not realize that there are other cassified equipment and systems. Smh.
Thanks.

S400:
Unfortunately , nigerian air defense system is almost nonexistent , only few F7 jets with PL-9 missiles for interception , dont know if the old Roland Air defense system still in service ,

if for exemple france sent some rafales or mirages , they will wander in the sky of nigeria without any threat from them . not to talk about military radars , EW systems, anti jamming ect....

Please, are you very sure about this? This is the reason argument starts. Because few people like us, who know better, are stunned when you speak untruth with so much certainty.

Please have you been inside our armoury? Were you a member of the National Air Defence Corps? What do you know about the NA air defence artillery regiment? Are you privy to classified procurements? How do you know that our air defence is non-existent? And you talk with so much certainty, which sucks.

See, any enemy that thinks we have no high-tech air defence system runs the risk of complete annihilation in the skies. Unfortunately, Nigerian military is very secretive and you will never know the specifics of the weapons and systems.

However, Just take it as truth from someone who knows more than you ever will.

Sosaristic4life:
the truth is eh, academically they are good. is it easy to be the best 3rd university in Nigeria?

True. They are very good academically. Back then when I read Amazigo's calculus, I respected igbo scholars.

tonididdy:
Uniben has the best, neatest federal campus in Nigeria

Lie. I have bedn to Uniben twice and its just Ok.

Uniport has the best structures and landscape in Nigeria. I mean Abuja campus, not Choba or Delta.

Xbee007:
As long as you maintain your sanity no problem.

You are not the "sanity police". Just stay on your lane and dont start a fight. Simple & Clear

If you don't like my post, just scroll and pass. Don't dare challenge me. If you want to, then keep the muds aside lets fight dirty.

Again, you are not the Sanity Police to tell me what to do here. So swerve.

Xbee007:
The job of the mods is to ensure sanity in the thread. When someone wants to turn the thread into a mudfight, we are obligated to call them.

The thread would be ok if you don't start a fight. I made my point, you replied to start a fight. And i said, if i beat you up, you would run to your muds.

So dont start a fight by replying me stupidly. Trust me, i will beat the hell outta you. And nothing will happen. Your muds can ban me 200 times, i will remain here. Be warned !!!

I read this interview many years ago when coward Ajibola granted it... and I was disgusted.

Obasanjo goofed big time... war or no war, Nigeria should never have handed Bakassi to Cameroun. Despite world judgements, Israel has refused to release occipied territories it captured in wars. No nation would send their troops to fight for Cameroon.

Gens. Abacha or IBB would never have surrendered Bakassi like that. It is shameful when a full grown man touts "surrendering" your land because of fear of war. Very stupid and shameless man called Ajibola. Like Gens. Diya and Adisa.
Shamelessness and cowardise runs deep from that side
