Ghana Air Force plane over shoots runway.

At least it doesn't look to badly damaged..........unlike SAAFs C130 which crash landed in the DRC

NAF A-109k helicopter.

Fixed

theenchanter:
stop asking me redundant question if u can't read.

Simple yes or no question bro........

Why is it called the " foreign economic research office"

oyinpr:
simple put they are multirole helicopters which can be configured to suit which ever mission it's assigned to. E.g the American black hawks have been seen acting in fire support roles when the need arises.

Yes they are utility helicopters and can be used for fire support... However they are not and never will be an AH.

I'm not trying to bash anyone, a109s are great utility helicopters and are a great addition to NAFs fleet..... However they are not attack helicopters as some on here claim.

theenchanter:
no, they don't research economies of nations, they receive data on economies of nations from independent sources, analyze and send to Langley. If they research, they should be having reports on economy of nations every year like every research bodies does.

Stop spinning urself like a barber's chair.

So why are they called the "foreign economic research officer"

Jimi24:
A109 was developed as a utility chopper. These new A109K, A109M and A109EM versions that NAF are buying are for armed/scout purposes.
They have standoff capable canons, rockets and even a small missile.
What I like most about them are the sensors.
They will enable ground troops sense ambushes before the enemy knows they have been detected.
The choppers can engage at standoff distances and destroy ambush positions and gun trucks. These choppers are useful against bandits and Boko Haram (if they are on the move). I won't advise using them against bunkers or well defended positions. MI 35Ms are for that.
The A109s are one third the price of MI 35Ms, easier to maintain for Nigeria because NAF has used the type for more than 12 years.
There are even many civilian pilots/technicians in Naija who can put the chopper in the air in minutes.

It is one of the most sensible procurements made by NAF in recent times..

Bro NAF a109s don't have missiles..... And a109s are not AHs they are transports..... Just like mi17s and Oryxs which in the past have also been armed with Missiles and rockets, they are still transports since that's what they were designed for

Just because they might be used in a secondary role for attacking enemy positions, that still doesn't make them AHs

theenchanter:
what the office does is assess economic stats, analyze it and send to d center in Langley, Virginia.

Note: they're not really interested in d economics of those countries, they only care about how it may affect the security of US or to check for excesses.

So in other words they research the economies of other nation....

theenchanter:
why are u disturbing urself here.

Don't u know d difference between "assess" and "basic research"?

Answer the question.... If the CIA don't do research on foreign economies the why do they have a division called the foreign economic research office

kabe1:
A-109k attack helicopter.

If you don't like it, go and cry.

it's not an AH

SAAF also fly the exact same a109k as what NAF purchased and they are transport helicopters not attack helicopters

kabe1:
You're hopelessly stupid.

What is the primary role of the A-109k in the NAF service?

transport exactly as SAAFs a109k's are used for transport

kabe1:
What is the primary role of this helicopter in the NAF?

This is the question I asked you.

transport

kabe1:
The Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Saddique Abubakar, stated this while inaugurating “Modular Theatre” at the 465 Nigeria Air Force Hospital in Kano on Saturday.
He said the Air Force is also expecting six gunship helicopters from Italy, saying the aircraft and helicopters will enhance the operational capacity of the force.

Bro if you want to ignorantly believe an A109 is an attack helicopter then go ahead dude

kabe1:
Please read.

An attack helicopter is an armed helicopter with the primary role of an attack aircraft, with the capability of engaging targets on the ground, such as enemy infantry and armored fighting vehicles. Due to their heavy armament they are sometimes called helicopter gunships.


What's the primary role of the helicopter in the NAF service?

The primary role of an aw109 is transport....

It doesn't have any missiles or rockets and its guns are used for mostly self defence.....

kabe1:
Nigerian Air Force recently inducted multiple purpose attack helicopter.

It's an A109 mate.... Not an attack helicopter.... Mounting a gun on it doesn't change the fact that it's primarily a transport helicopter

theenchanter:
they don't have research offices everywhere, it's regional.

Answer the question if they don't do research on foreign economies then why do they have a foreign economic office dedicated to researching foreign economies.....

Who told u the wildlife in Tz is declining? We had issues of poaching before,but since the end of 2015 poaching went down by over 90%.So we have an increase of wildlife from 2016 till today.
Stop thinking about stuff happened 5 years back. We are in 2020,we have done a lot of things on ground.

So,yes,our wildlife population is growing rapidly.more new national parks have been created.And still,the Americans wants to have something similar to our Serengeti. Just google american Serengeti project.
They are copying us.we will teach them.
United states of America will learn from..
United republic of Tanzania.

It's declining

theenchanter:
i went to their website a.d there's no where it stated economy of nations as one of its responsibilites.
https://www.cia.gov/about-cia
...... that affects US security interest! U should have completed d statement.

An analyst analyze stats, they dont carry out basic research. U bring stats to them and they analyze it. Thats why the job description stated that the person will "assess" those things, cos without "those thing", his job is useless.

U saffers are properly dumb

If they don't do research on foreign economies then why do they have a foreign economic research office??

Kazikazi:
More Americans are coming to Tanzania for hunting on a daily basis!
Have you ever heard about American Serengeti project? FYI, Americans wants to create a national park just the same as Serengeti.They are copying united republic of Tanzania,not you,not Kenyans but only Tz! We will teach them.

Look at these pics of Serengeti national park in Tanzania which Americans wants to copy......

They already have an abundance of National parks bro, and unlike Tanzania their wildlife population is growing.

Trophy hunting in Tanzania is on a major decline

theenchanter:
are u now saying CIA actually carry out research on economy of nations?

yes..... Yes they do

Anyway bro, I don't have time for your ret@rdedness.... Just Google CIA and go on their website and you'll find what the CIA is actually about

Here is just a job vacancy I took of the CIA website :

"As an Economic Analyst for the CIA, you will assess foreign economic, trade, and financial interests"

Kazikazi:
Ours is a respected nation worldwide.Trump won't put us in same category with Sudan and the like.We are a united republic. Trump need us to teach him how to unite a nation.Also the american need to learn from us about conservation stuff.we will teach them.
Mind u,magufuli is the scientist.Don't compare with a guy like Uhuru with his cheap political degree

Wildlife in America is growing exponentially thanks to their hunting industry...... They don't need advice on conservation from a country who's wildlife population is declining.

Just30:
since when did degrees ever make someone smart?

you cant seize to amaze

Sparkling dummy

Lol

Sounds like something a dumb person would say!!

Just30:
your
the idiot that everyone is laughing at

you can also try learning about the CIA from Wikileaks

Bro I never said the CIA doesn't do espionage........ But the fact that you think that all they do shows how ignorant you are

Just30:
the CIA is only an espionage and sabotage organisation

stop being stupid

Look at this idiot

Just30:
sorry

you cant be my mate

My mates are smarter than you

Wow your mate's have 2 degrees and a CFA?

Just30:
no im not

you are still yet to show the S&P POVERTY INDEX

Just think logically for a second if you can.....

S&P like the IMF is a rating agency, hence they look at factors like, Unemployment and poverty when making decisions on which ratings to give

Just30:
Moronic idiot

you can go now

I ain't going nowhere mate

theenchanter:
maybe u had it with someone else and that person did a poor job on u... if he has done a good job, u wouldn't be spilling junks here.

Well as I proved before, the CIA on TV is only a very very small part of what the CIA actually does.... Seems like you think the same as the other dude unfortunately.

Just30:
so when did poverty become a financial info ?


can you provide even a single data from them on poverty?

you are joking right??

samorobo:
Do you have a bigger middle class pop than Egypt and Nigeria?

According to the Credit Suisse, South Africas middle class is around 17 million and nigerias middle class is around 15 million

theenchanter:
people like u ought to be sacrificed to d gods of stupidity.

How on earth will somebody say CIA makes research of economic activities when all they do is source economic stats from other sources and lay on their platform.

Even their economic stats are usually outdated. CIA deals with national intelligence, economics of nations is not even among their priority.

I feel like we've had this argument before......

Just30:
kid shut up

Standard and poor is a rating agency that provides financial info

Exactly!!!
