I can trust America with nuclear weapons than Russia. Russia does nothing else other than building weapons while it's economy is going down by the day. What is the economic standing of Russia today? Zero! So what is the weapons meant for? That is not to say that America cannot crush them if(America) decides now that they are ready to loose their human and material capitals of which Russia has none to loose because they have none..

for ur information Russia is d 6th largest economy with a GDP of $3.6trillion.and also knw dat Russia is not Nigeria America can sabotage dem but crush dem sorry even d Americans knw that will only happen in d dreams.

I bet most of don't knw that it was d Russians dat defeated d Nazis not d allied forces as protracted by Hollywood.

Uzoma Okwumo, one of the lovely grandkids of a Nigerian/Ghanaian grandma shared the beautiful photos and lovely story of how they plan to celebrate their grandma who will be turning 78 next month......


'My grandmother is turning 78 years old next month. Earlier this year, she fell really sick, and once she recovered, it made us realize that as many memories as we had with her,we haven’t done anything recently to honor her nor did we have a nice picture to remember her by. She is afterall the only
living grandparent that we have left on this earth.One night as I was sleeping, I woke up with this vivid vision of a way to honor her. You see, my grandmother is half Ghanaian and half Nigerian. I figured since she has 4 generations of her extension
existing on this earth, why not show her just how blessed she has been and just how much we appreciate her for being the rock of our family. We would dress up in traditional Ghanaian Kente cloths and Traditional Nigerian (Igbo) George and do a photoshoot which will be framed and presented to her on her birthday on November 26th. It was a lot
of hard work planning it and finally executing
it, but we pulled it off.



Through these pictures, we were able to capture Herself, One of her Daughters, Her Grandkids, and her Great Grandkids. We intentionally did not include the husbands and the dads in the pictures because 1.
They’re not too fond of pictures, and 2. We wanted to keep it to my grandmother and her direct extensions. We blessed her with a one of a kind, original photo shoot that hasn’t been done before.The photographer that captured these images was so patient and amazing, and we want to show our appreciation as well by getting her as much visibility for her business as possible. Please help us honor our Grandmother Helen Ama Tarigbo as we pay homage to our Nigerian/Ghanaian roots,and also recognize our photographer.Thank you so much for your assistance! We appreciate you and HOPE to hear from you'

nemesis2u:
lets suppose a BVR missile is fired at an aircraft and if the said missile travels at Mach 3 and the target fighter aircraft travels at Mach .6 which is the normal corner speed of modern fighters and also if the target aircraft is rated to pull 9 G maneuvers, then the missile needs to pull 225 G to match the turn radius, or 100 G if fighter is traveling at Mach .9 , since G forces in tracking turn are a square of speed. thus this reduces the BVR missiles kill probability.

also if the missile is fired outside optimal launch position then it has to maneuver in order to point its nose towards the target, thus lowering probability of kill and also there is the chance of the target aircraft simply flying out of missile seekers field of view.

again if an AMRAAM / R-77 category missile is fired which travels at Mach 4, and can pull 30 G within its no escape zone, then the missile will be require to pull 400 Gs to hit a fighter maneuvering at corner speed of Mach .6 or 178 Gs if the target is cruising at speeds of Mach .9 which again is a tough ask.

add to it if the target aircraft detects the BVR missile launch early on through its RWRs then it can initiate
1.purely defensive maneuvers like the drag i.e turn 180° around, burn as hard as it can, and make continuous 90° turns to force the missile to maneuver against it.
2.a mix of defensive and offensive like the beam i.e put the missile on a 90° bearing from it and make climbs and dives to force the missile to maneuver against it.

basically the idea is to force the missile to bleed off its energy so that it doesn't have sufficient energy to keep up with the maneuvering fighter especially in the terminal phase of its flight.

In addition to kinematic defense, there is the electronic defense
if the fighter is carrying jamming pods it will try to burn through the active seeker of the attacking missile which is turned on at the terminal attack phase by producing white noise. another way is to seduce the missile by producing multiple false electronic image of the aircraft and getting it to lock on these false radar returns away from the fighter. nowadays aircraft's carry active towed/expendable decoys based on DRFM technology which have significant advantage vis a vis a BVR missile seeker.


again there is the question of the type of air to air combat tactics being run in order to get a BVR kill
For example, in a 2:1 blue on red engagement, one blue fighter will fly out ahead and make two low-Pk(kill probability) BVR long shots forcing the red fighter to go on the defensive early on, as the engaged red fighter falls back to defend itself against the incoming enemy BVR missiles, the second blue fighter will maneuver to get the preoccupied red fighter in its BVR missiles weapon engagement zone (WEZ) for higher-Pk kill shots.

again there is another problem with BVR engagement .BVR engagement occurs at long ranges so there is greater dependency on IFF .
what if the pilots turn the IFF transponders off which the pilots do to avoid being tracked then there is no way to determine that the aircraft detected at long ranges are enemy forces unless they are equipped with IRST.

another fact is that BVR missiles with maximum range of over 100 kilometers, have their effective range against aircraft in attack equal to 1/5 of the maximum range i.e around 20 kilometers which brings it to WVR . the ranges stated are also only true at high altitude against aircraft in attack, at low altitude effective range of BVR missile is reduced to 25% of its range at high altitude, and range against aircraft in flight is 1/4 of that against aircraft in attack.

again success with BVR missiles is dictated by total information and situational awareness using AWACS etc with advanced datalink which in turn allows an aircraft to successfully get a BVR kill.

lets take the example of how a SU30 can kill the F15 in BVR range at 1st attempt or at WVR range at 2nd attempt (theoretical for lack of war)

this involves the SU30 taking a shot with a BVR missile and then turning into the clutter notch of the F-15s radar. Getting into the clutter notch where the Doppler radar is ineffective involves making a descending, right-angle turn to drop below the approaching F-15 while reducing the Su-30s relative forward speed close to zero. This is an old air combat tactic, but the Russian fighters maneuverability, ability to dump speed quickly and then rapidly regain acceleration allows it to execute the tactic with great effectiveness.If the maneuver is flown correctly, the Su-30 will be invisible to the F-15s radar until the F1-5 finds itself within the engagement range of the AA-11 Archer infrared missile. This Su-30 tactic and the high chances of success of its escape maneuver allows for the second higher Pk WVR shot, in case the BVR shot misses its target.


************************************************
example of Soviet tactics versus NATO tactics of the late Cold War period.

The F-14s would approach the fight in a line-abreast formation and the Libyan would use the Soviet "trail" formation, in which one MIG23 aircraft follows another MIG23 at a different altitude. The idea was that the Western radars would detect the first aircraft but, not the second aircraft trailing.

The F-14s pilots knew the MiG23s did not look down into "sea clutter" well. That is why as the F-14s approached the MiGs they continued to lose altitude. By the time the two groups were twenty-seven miles apart, the F-14s would be at 5,000ft and descending, the lead MiG23 at 9,000ft and the trailing MiG23 at 13,000ft a few miles behind his leader. The F-14's had been locked-up five times but, once at 5,000ft or lower the F-14's were not locked-up by the MiG23 again.

Press Statement

FG MUST ENSURE THAT FEMI FANI-KAYODE DOES NOT DIE IN DETENTION

1. It is common knowledge that in furtherance of its campaign of attrition against members of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in the guise of an anti-corruption war, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, former Spokesperson for the PDP Presidential Campaign Organization (PDPPCP) was arrested in the premises of the Federal High Court, Lagos.

2. His re-arrest is the latest in a series of plans designed to further harass and intimidate our members and supporters using the security and intelligence apparatus of the Nigerian State. A few days before his arrest his wife, Precious Chikwendu and their 8 month old son, Aragorn, were arrested and would have been detained but for the timely intervention of Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State.

3. What is not common knowledge is that at the time of his arrest, Chief Fani-Kayode was ill and taking medication. Since his arrest, he has been denied access to his medication and medical doctors who are conversant with his medical history.

4. As at the time of writing this statement, officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have continued to deny Chief Fani-Kayode access to his medication.

5. The only conclusion that can be reached is that the APC led Federal Government and EFCC want Chief Fani-Kayode to die in detention. In the light of the prevailing circumstances where EFCC are detaining an obviously weak and ill man, this is an inescapable conclusion.

6. These continuous violations of the constitutional rights and freedoms of the Nigerian people by the Buhari Administration must stop. The Federal Government cannot, and must not, be allowed to continually infringe on the rights of the very people it swore to uphold.

7. We call on all well meaning Nigerians to urge the Federal Government to desist from its path of human rights abuses.

8. God bless Nigeria.

ur comments r propaganda and jingoistic and false

one of the few merits of Indian education system is that it is free from government propaganda and control unlike china.
English is the medium of instruction in majority of schools in India, so there is availability of study material from all over the world , helps us to realize and know our own harsh reality and conditions rather than be hoodwinked into government propaganda unlike in china.

TIBET WAS A INDEPENDENT COUNTRY UNTILL 1954 WHEN CHINA ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED IT.
UNTILL 1954 INDIA NEVER SHARED A BORDER WITH CHINA , SO CHINESE CLAIMS ON INDIAN KASHMIR AND ARUNACHAL PRADESH IS A BIG FAT LIE.


Chinese killed millions in their repression of Tibetans from 1954 onwards when they first occupied it . they destroyed Buddhist monasteries , moved in large numbers of HAN Chinese into Tibet, forcefully aborted pregnant Tibetan women and even killed babies on a large scale from 1954 onwards to lower Tibetan population. these atrocities are well documented.

Dalai lama escaped into India when the Chinese army failed to capture him.
Chinese government attacked India in 1962 because India gave asylum to the the fleeing Tibetans from Chinese atrocities .

Chinese army captured arunachal pradesh in 1962 , so why did they retreat back to pre 1954 position. because they had no legal claim on arunachal pradesh.




Kashmir had legally seceded to India and is Indian territory . it was attacked by pakistan because 3-5 major rivers pass through Kashmir , pakistan needed to secure the river source for its own purpose and to that purpose they tried every possible means.

Pakistan illegally gave up portions of pakistan occupied Kashmir to china so as to get chinese support against India.

get your facts right
there are no Maoists in the north of india. Maoists are worse than terrorists . a EVIL gift from china to the world .

chinese intelligence has facilitated the movement , funding and transfer of equipment to a no of terror groups from north east India.
china has developed safe havens to shelter these terrorists after they were driven out by Indian and Burmese army from Myanmar.
they also coordinated the get together of the different groups into a single umbrella group for better terrorists activities.
i even know the name of few of the Chinese officials who were in charge of it.




real what i wrote again , united WA state army UWSA is in the possession of SAMS and tank destroyers supplied by china. Burmese officials have themselves claimed this not me.



china supported and facilitated the genocide. the whole world knows this except for chinese like u. u train and arm a repressive regime and expect to wash ur hands off from the subsequent consequences.



chinese government killed near to 80-100 million people mostly its own countrymen and yes therefor chinese govt is worse than NAZI.
also i never said china is bad i said chinese government is bad. there r many good people in china , it is the chinese govt which is bad.

there are some refugee Tibetans in arunachal pradesh but majority r ethnic indian tribes of Mongolian stock . ancient Indian texts about 10,000 years old mention these regions including yunan province . in the Mahabharata war one of the warring sides had close to million Tibetan/Chinese soldiers in its army. if we want to make a claim we can do it same like chinese government who uses historical evidence to claim other countries lands.



joke all u want , but reality is brutal , add to it the fact that media is tightly controlled in china and free speech especially against chinese government/policy is controlled. chinese govt uses its diplomatic might to stop international media from reporting the reality in china. sometimes it is successful , sometimes it is not.



unlike china which claim other countries land like vietnam , japan , india , taiwan , south china sea , mongolia, USSR/russia etc and always tries to meddle in the internal affairs of other countries



also u posted a pic claiming Indian crack down on Tibetans, when India against chinese pressure continues to provide shelter and help to the very same Tibetans fleeing from chinese atrocities.

in recent times china has successfully forced Nepal to hand back fleeing Tibetans through Nepal into India by providing money etc to Nepalese government and the repatriated Tibetans end up being tortured and killed in china

for once ur at loss of words and propaganda because u cant wriggle out of the facts/truth which i have posted and which can be cross checked with open source info . so as a result it is exaggerated propaganda now for u since u know everything i posted is the truth.

let it be a lesson to to u , people who live in glass houses should know better than to throw stones at others.

i dont want to reply to u again because ur not worth my time

nemesis ur are so funny.d atrocities India is commiting in Kashmir is too bad.

u might not like China as a rival but dey are good.

and in ur last post u accused China of substandard products here in Nigeria 50% of fake drugs in Nigeria are from India.

try open a thread on nairaland and ask pple hw there Indian and Chinese employer treat dem.

no country is without flaws or dark history.

olushowunm:
The battle of wits between labour and government of Ogun State during the ongoing indefinite strike action continues, with each side throwing subs and saying they are the ones with the best interests of the people at heart.

The labour leaders continue to point to various areas and times the government of the day have reneged on its agreements with workers while the government points fingers at the labour leaders, accusing them of playing partisan politics, without calling labour to the negotiation table.

Given this antagonistic attitude of the government, it's no surprise (and somewhat comical really) that labour has alleged that its leaders have been targeted and attacked by thugs reportedly working for some people affiliated with the government of Ibikunle Amosun. Labour leaders have literally fled to the bush and have taken to addressing workers from inside forest using their phones as shown in these videos because of fear for their lives.

The S&T Daewoo K11 DAW (Dual-barrel Air-burst Weapon) is a multi-weapon resembling the earlier US Individual Objective Combat Weapon in concept, design and operation. It consists of two separate weapons combined into a single unit: a lower assault rifle chambered to fire 5.56×45mm NATO rounds and an upper 20×30mm (caliber of shell x length of propellent case) grenade launcher firing both conventional and air-bursting "smart" grenades, along with its integrated digital sighting unit. it is expensive to buy though.

the south Koreans have one of the best defense industry no doubts about that. African countries can try to benefit from them since they r open on joint production and joint ventures/development etc. i would advice such ventures in the ship building and ammo manufacturing domain especially.

jstxa little bit confused is Excalibur d name of d rifle or a name give to d program to look for a new weapon.

NIGERIA WILL INK JF-17 DEAL IN NOVEMBER


According to IHS Jane’s, Nigeria has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Pakistan for the purchase of an undisclosed number of JF-17 Thunder multi-role fighters. The contract is expected to be inked in November in Pakistan during the International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS) in Karachi.

Notes, Comments & Analysis:

Reports of a firm order emerged in January when a Nigerian newspaper, Punch, reported that $35 million U.S. had been allocated in the annual budget for three JF-17s and 10 Super Mushshak basic trainers for the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), the latter was officially finalized in June.

Negotiations between Nigeria and Pakistan likely began at the end of 2014, when the NAF had formally expressed interest in the JF-17. During IDEAS 2014, it was reported that the NAF could ultimately procure 25-40 JF-17s. While official numbers were not disclosed, it is likely that the NAF’s total order will not be as large given that it has numerous close air support (CAS) platforms in the acquisition pipeline, such as the Mi-35M assault helicopter and A-29 Super Tucano (which is still awaiting U.S. approval).

Considering that the main operational focus of the NAF at this time is counterinsurgency (COIN), it is likely that the NAF’s JF-17s will be configured for the strike role. Nigeria’s fruitful defence ties with China should enable it to procure a range of precision-guided munitions (PGM), such as the LT-series of laser-guided bombs. It is possible that Pakistan may seek to export domestically produced PGMs as well, such as the Global Industrial Defence Solutions (GIDS) Range Extension Kit (REK).

In its air defence configuration, the JF-17 would also imbue the NAF with relatively potent capabilities (especially if it can secure the SD-10 active radar-guided air-to-air missile). Among Nigeria’s immediate neighbours, only Chad possesses a modern fighter platform – i.e. the MiG-29 Fulcrum. However, it is not known how well these fighters are armed in terms of modern air-to-air munitions.

d mig29 is a potent fighter we should also get a bvr missile

do u ever bother to think/research before u type.

INSAS Rifle was designed and developed by DRDO based on Qualitative Requirements (QRs) set in 1982 and met all QR parameters and inducted into Service in 1996. The Rifle has been fully exploited since then including OP Vijay in 1999. Subsequent to OP Vijay (kargil war) in sub zero temperatures , the following problems were observed:

(a) Loosening of flash eliminator

(b) Loosening of Piece guide

(c) Upper Hand Guard requirement

(d) Additional safety in firing mechanism

(e) Grenade sight requirement

(f) Improved Lever Locking Gas Cylinder

DRDO & Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) jointly took up product improvement program based on the above feedback received from User. Necessary improvements were carried out and introduced in the Improved Rifle as Rifle Mark 1B1 in 2001.

DRDO has developed the INSAS weapon system at a cost of Rs. 3.50 Cr. This is less than 1 million dollars

based on the experienced gained the following weapons/varient were developed
1.Multi Caliber Individual Weapon System, (MCIWS)
2.KALANTAK carbine
3.AMOGH/MICRO INSAS
4.JVPC/MSMC PDW
5.EXCALIBUR
6.INSAS LMG
7.ASSAULT RIFLE MK1C
8.TRICHY ASSAULT RIFLE
9.GHATAAK
ETC

close to one million INSAS rifles have been built till date .

in 2011 a tender was floated and of them CZ-805, ARX-160, Galil ACE, and Colt Combat Rifle made it to the trial round.Galil ACE and ARX-160 were left in the final competition.however in 2015, the tender was cancelled.

it should interest u that in September 2015, EXCALIBUR had passed the water and mud tests, which four of the foreign rifles in the above tender competition had failed.
the EXCALIBUR will replace the INSAS RIFLES.



from were did u conjure this false info.

INSAS never had any complains on accuracy and reliability was not a issue once the improvements were made.

when a country wants to develop a small arms industry , it will face teething problems , need i remind u of the poorly made unreliable Chinese clones in the past , after spending 30 years on developing small arms it is in a better stage today.
US RUSSIA GERMANY have experience of 100 years , they have PEDIGREE , India is trying to build the same.there are no short cuts.

if Indian private sector is allowed to make small arms then it will be a huge leap for Indian small arms industry. the govt companies monopoly must be broken to increase competition and produce world class better products. now it leaves much to be desired.

edit: EXCALBUR has already been inducted into some para military forces. the person on the extreme right is carrying it, with the field glasses .
