This is very good work @Toju. Keep it up.

We need an aircraft that can pose a threat to the Rafale fighter jet. Only the JF-17 block 3 is good enough to do that.

Honestly, JF 17 Block III will struggle against Rafale. Best to invest in modern highly mobile SAMs to the extent of having capability to move them by heavy choppers for quick set up inside undefended enemy territory
If Cameroon or Niger starts to misbehave, we cant take on France in the air but 3 MI 171s can fly a battery of BUK, Akash, S-300 or S-400 anywhere in W.Africa. As long as there are technicians to errect and calibrate quickly.

100% agree with you on all points

Even if Messi goes to Man Utd now, he will lose form spectacularly

If Messi joins any new team outside Barca he will lose form spectacularly.
Messi is not the sophisticated, agile, highly mobile Ronaldo.

Messi is one of the most talented footballers BUT still a local guy

We told this boy he was going to be punished but he was adamant. Instead of disciplining himself, being humble and showing endurance to give his best for the team, he was posturing.

Will his over ambitious and greedy agents and mom help him now?
They are now offloading him cheaply put of spite.

Most Trump supporters get really scared when the myth of the inevitabilty of his re election is busted.
Re election for where? .
Is it Hilary Clinton on the ballot?
Is Sanders not doing well in Iowa?.
Will he not take NH?

The man is highly intelligent, yet he calls himself a "democratic socialist " in a country they say is moving to the right.
He knows something. The millennials, university kids, highly skilled young professionals. The guys who refused to come out for Hilary. They are coming.
You guys think racism and North-South values split are the issues?
Well listen; health care is an issue, wages are an issue, environment is an issue, women reproductive rights are an issue.
All the above are just the ideological reasons.

What about the Trump reasons? .The greatest misfit in the political history of the US. The most insulted by his own appointees, the president with the most jailed aides and assistants, the one with the most secret tax returns, the unintelligent lies.
Wait till they walk all over this guy in the ember months.

Last time we checked Trump led GOP was losing Texas, Georgia and parts of Florida.
The man's shaky, unbalanced character is spooking Americans. The democrats are going yo destroy him when they cast him as Putin's girlfriend who 's lack of geo political savvy and laziness in listening to experts is eroding US 's international power.
Last elections he was the underdog, breath of fresh air. This election he is the amateur who has about eight associates in jail, who's secretary of state called a slowpoke, serial liar with clear evidence et.c
Wait for the debates. Dont also forget that st his best he scored 3.5m less votes than Hilary

Tonnyray:
Donald J. Trump is a case study. American political history will never be complete without him. The real modern day Cyrus.
The dejected look on those CNN fake news anchor people after the acquittal brought immense joy to my soul man

Pls don't ever hero worship any human being especially one I am sure even you are 100% more intelligent and capable than like Trump.

Let me now shock you, Trump is actually unlikely to win re election. Every logical reason you bring to support his winning the re election would be the same mistake that made an over confident Hilary Clinton lose.

CNN panel was looking dejected probably because they know SANDERS or BLOOMBERG are the only ones that will bury Trump and they are frustrated about Biden's drop.

Sanders will bring the power of the hitherto silent millennials and in traditional GOP states like Texas, Louisiana and Atlanta, oil field workers, immigrants and tired middle class to bear on the election.

To you think the DNC got its majority in the House of Reps by magic?. Trump may even lose Utah by insulting Mitt Romney so directly.

So.my question is if Trump supporters are so confident why do they keep saying his re election is a foregone conclusion?.

It is not. Wait till November and see the shocker coming

There is a legal right Satan had to 'try' Job. The same legal right he had to tempt Jesus ( afterall he loved us so much that he demoted himself to become man just to set us free. He was a man, so fair game).
This legal right is nothing other than God being a God of justice and fairness. Nothing in his creation will make him break his own rules.

Satan has absolutely ZERO power but he has partial knowledge of how to vent Gods power to work against man.

Why does satan hate man so much that he always tries to vent Gods power against man? . He hates us because he was CURSED by God to be that way. He cannot help but hate man.

Man was also cursed to destroy satan.

The judgement in Eden was double judgement for two equally ranked entities.

Man was higher than satan before the sin of disobedience but even after man's fall he was just equal to satan and not below him as some FALSE teachings.
To be 100% under satan, you would be a full blown satan worshipper or irredemeable witch

So all problems come from man's fallen state nature. The so called 'I make light and I form darkness' statement from God is just saying that we have a choice. There is only one creator and cause of everything. We should choose light by being obedient.

Expensive though and terribly sanctions vulnerable.

For those of us who really know, Super Tucanoes would be the breakthrough capability in internal security.
Also it will be a cheap workhorse ISR/precision strike platform in one package.

The JF 17 is for regional power projection BUT it will fly too high, too fast and too blind to be useful against Boko Haram or bandits

MrPresident1:


Let me indulge you only once, after this one no more entertaining of any alternate handle from you buda for eartum aka budaatum. Just write whatever you want to write with your buda for eartum monicker.

Now to the rationale you're raising, you need to concentrate and focus, Trump is a saint?

Buttigieg is openly gay, Trump postures as a man of faith, the question is, who will win in America out of these two men?

Openly gay Buttigieg vs Man of faith Donald Trump!

Buttigieg cant win elections and he knows it. Trump wont also win. The man is out of control ...turning a national prayer event to a personal ego pandering event. His supporters are going to start seeing.through the guy now he is acquited. God has no place innthat mans life
We are waiting for Sanders or Bloomberg

jteku:


Cool, its new with modern avionic

A friend of ours wrongly called them refurbished.

Fash20:


We are buying some piston engine fighter aircrafts in 2020 and you think its a good thing.

I was being sarcastic when I said 1951.

It is a gas turbine powered propeller engine. Pls STFU of you dont know.
Nigeria has many jet engine aircraft.
JF 17s are coming they are jet engine powered. For the role we are buying these aircraft for, turbo-prop is preferred over turbojet. QED

kozmokaz:
Where is the jet?... If what I'm seeing on those Pic are the "jets", you guys should just forget it... Those stuffs went extinct after world War 2

If you dont know you keep shut. Turbo -prop aircraft are not extinct. Nigeria needed a slow, manned, steady platform to deliver precision weapons and this aircraft is the best in.that role.
The US Airfoece is using it for the same purpose we are buying it. Brazil, Afghanistan and Mali are using it.
Propeller aircraft have flight dynamics that fit certain operations. Some of the best UAVs now are propeller driven.

I reluctantly have to agree with the legislators. They have not rejected a Nigerian made car, they are rejecting a brand.
If Toyota had built a Nigerian Prado plant with the same local value add as Innoson jeep, they would have gone for it.
To make matters worse Innoson's price point is not even good for a new company struggling for market share.
There are probably issues with component reliability that consumers are reporting.

The Air Force pilot in this video said 40 rockets. I believe it could be configuration.

Wheres that my friend who still thinks this is not an AH?

See that dome at the nose of M-171E. That's some sensor maybe small radar or IR/EO. This is a new version MI-171E

Too good to be true.

"Neutralized" not all killed.

Too many dumb kids on this thread. They are confusing academic qualifications and fancy speech for smartness.

Most Nigerian academically qualifirf people cannot lead, innovate or adapt. Rank failures.

The Innoson Motors owner is not academically qualified and speaks bad english but there are many automobile engineers and MBAs in Nigeria.

The great weakness of Nigeria is leadership skills and innovative ability

We have been complaining for decades about the neglect of security services. Every budget cycle, stupid 'intellectuals' come on TV to say defence/security budget is too much "Nigeria is not at war'. Is Nigeria not at war now?.

Some stupid ones say education is underfunded. No one ever said defence/security had been underfunded until recently.

Over civillianized country who only care for their bellies, selfish comfort loving people. To pay taxes to provide minimum security is a problem .
Your stupid country has 1 police to 500,000 people ...you have to be joking.

You are blaming Buhari! SMH
Buhari will solve the problem but money has to be spent to recruit police, buy helicopters, buy communications gadgets and reintroduce SARS units.
Any youth complaining about SARS or surveillance, just lock them up.

DMI should look into serving or retired soldiers / police bank accounts and lifestyles.

More importantly, Nigerians should grow a brain, start getting security conscious and stop deriding men in uniform

An elected president tweets #Trump4eva (for ever) and you are still asking whether or not he is a danger to America.

God has chosen him as the man who will bring the US down very quickly so that China and an European power will dominate.

Stupid youth conceived in corruption.
Some joker tells you that Dino made his money before he became a professional politician. Of course. That is just the point. He made the money corruptly.
Influence peddling in Abuja, un-executed or padded procurement contracts, running errands for ex heads of state et.c

They even tell lies upon lies that he never stole money in the Senate or as a Rep.
That's a lie.
How can a country grow when its young people are cowardly liars who run when they see truth.

GEJ was / is a cheap crook. In fact the entire machinery that the biggest crook (the one in Otta) handed over to was the greatest organization of crooks Nigeria has ever seen.
I want to beg Nigerians to watch carefully and see how each if these guys will end. If you believe in God, just watch. Forget your emotions, sentiments and tribal urges. You will FEAR God.

Too many children on Nairaland. Very childish statements. What are "original signed copies of state of union address"?

Pls come of it. It is the opinion of the Head of the Executive branch of government delivered to representatives of the people as to how UNITED the US is.

Nancy Pelosi tore a ceremonial copy that was given to her without proper decorum (handshake) . She is a gentle, classy woman. If someone like me was speaker and a President refused my handshake whilst delivering a copy of the speech, I and ALL members of my party will leave the chambers. The cameras did not show it but many reps left the chambers.

Trump has a decision to make how he wants to run the remaining nine months of his Presidency, if he wants to drag it down to the mud, democrats will drag it down with him.

Nancy Pelosi' s defence against any legal action would be that the she tore a ceremonial copy not properly presen and the speech was a tissue of LIES.
There is nothing wrong in destroying a fake document.
Trump himself ended his speech the standard way saying "the state of the union is strong" . Big mistake

During his campaign and up till recently as President he has called America "a very divided country". Everyone knows the US is divided almost 50:50 politically
That summarizes why his speech is a LIE

nemesis8u:
Attrition of weapon systems and loss of lives even though unfortunate is part and parcel of military operations / military capabilities.

As long as military expenditure is in line with necessary requirements and within financial means , it should be opted for

There was this badass ( me ) who famously said " we want to be saints not martyrs "

If a nation gets thrusted into war / conflict , it will loss more in lives and money within a short period of time than it saved the same over a period of years by not inducting required weapon systems and men .

One must be prepared and equipped for any eventualities, financial constraints notwithstanding.

Look at Syria few years back it was a thriving nation will modern infrastructure etc , within a matter of weeks almost everything destroyed .

I was not knocking defence procurement. I was making valid points against expensive, gold plated hardware coming from advanced countries that dont close threat gaps or are not relevant to the theatre. Buying stuff to compensate for a lack of training, doctrine OR skills country's army. Iraq and Libya each had more tanks than W..Germany at some point in the 90s for instance yet Libya was serially losing to Chadian forces. Iraq was given bloody noses by an Iran under sanctions. Iraq-Iran war ended as a draw militarily but since Iran now controls majority Shiite govt in Iraq, we know who really won.

Ladiesdoctor:
No one dares God.
Democrats is filled with unholy idiots in it.
Shame to them.
Donald Trump, the mount Zion of America

No one dares God bit Trump will go down in November very easily. You have had the LIES that the impeachment will improve his support base abi?
Don't count on it.

Rubio, Cruz and many other Senators also dont like Trump. They just dont want.to hand democrats any advantage.

The acquital is in but like the State Of The Union address it has fallen flat.
Many people feel it is rigged without witnesses and Trump is completely de-mystified. What remains is a nasty opponent in November who can ridicule, rehash the key parts of the Ukraine scandal and paint all the flaws of this con job in the White House in so many colours.

bidexiii:
#Egypt COIN - showing a complete destruction of an M60 MBT (probably with an IED), and that army forces were forced to retreat, allowing #ISIS militants enough time to take some loot (ghanima) and pose in front of the burning tank.

So keep telling me $10bn arms procurement budget every year is a good idea.

Oga, how do you know you are sterile?. Did you cut a tube?. Was it a Nigerian doctor who told you that you were?. Did you seek alternative opinion?

One very BIG lie being fed to the world is that Trump will win re election in November.
Not gonna happen. Who wants to bet.

Ogonimilitant:
We are for a serious crysis. This government does not have a plan other than borrowing and taxing the poor masses.

By the time APC Fulani is through with Nigeria,
All Sai Babas will be picking food from the waste bin.

That's the only plan that works in the world. Every country on earth. The most advanced countries are the highest debtors and you WILL pay your taxes. Your friends running away to Canada and S.Africa are working hard and paying taxes.
