honestly Nigeria have to rebuild and restructure its army this is very bad... this is not how you fight in a war...

It's mainly an army problem, the Navy and Air Force are far better.

We may not know them all but we owe them all.

SupportOurTroops !!!

Finally, many have seen your true character.

Unnecessary argument and goal shifting.

thanks to raaven for opening your dirty ass.

Knocking him back to reality!!!

Always arguing pointlessly.

jln115:
@Raaven

Just FYI people were posting fanboy info graphs(cough.... Kabe1) here long before I did..............could of just left me to have my fun instead of making this a technical serious discussion like we on nemises's page

Your tears are delicious!!!

jln115:
LOL I take that back then

I told you, but you wouldn't listen!!

Stubborn fly......

You see where it landed you?

Raaven:
it was gripen C , http://www.defense-aerospace.com/articles-view/release/3/75717/swedish-af-looks-back-on-gripen-at-red-flag.html
and the source of scores against F16's is from from Quora site ( not very serious source ) . from a guy called Stefan Englund ( former Lieutenant Swedish Air Force Flight Engineering (1986-1991), not an official source could be advertising

and its not against a rafale like your statement .



how can you compare all this kind of parameters and give a single number with such a simple graph . its absolutely nonsense , this kind of test must be done under the same conditions for all the jets on your graph , which is impossible. so i think it's worthless fanboy graphs .

Buhahahahahahahahahaha

Oh, oh

My ribs, this is embarrassing

jln115:
LOL I take that back then

Hahahahahahahahahabababababahaha!!!!

jln115:
The article is from a credible military news site, written by a respected defense writer...........its not a blog like you like to use as sources

Post credible sources. It's big news, let's see a Jane's Defence report on this, AIA, Air recognition, just post one credible source.

jln115:
This was only a Gripen A:

Su35:
AOA: 45 degrees
Sustained turn rate:25
Instantaneous turn rate:32

Gripen C
AOA: 70 degrees
Sustained turn rate: 28 degrees
Instantaneous turn rate: 38 degrees

You're deluded, a single comment from an unknown flight engineer is your source?

This is hilarious.

Please post credible sources.

Another brilliant Nigerian Air Force video, eliminating terrorist vehicles.

wrong info again.... Max speed of the Gripen according to SAAF and SAAB is mach 2.....also according to the Thai Air force the G load is +9/-4

Other things that are wrong.... The R Darter isn't integrated with the Gripen inly the A Darter... Also linkZA is the data link integrated with SAAF gripen, payload is also wrong since the payload of the Gripen is 7200kg

Mach 2 speed for the Gripen is higher than the JF-17 at 1.6 mach, but top speed is irrelevant. The F/A-18 has a top speed of Mach 1.6, same as the F-35.

Gripen G load is +9/-3.

The JF-17 also have the option of the PL-12, PL-10 and many advanced advanced missiles.

Link-17 is integrated on the JF-17.

giles14:
sentiments aside the gripen is far too advance for the JF-17.gripen avionics is out of this world.

How?

giles14:
while Gripen NG is a light F-35 without stealth.

NO, the Gripen NG has 10 weapon stations, it's not a light fighter. more in the same class of an F-15QA.

More information on the engine power of the JF-17

IGpro1:
no mind toju200, he thinks because gripen is from Europe and JF-17 from sino-pakistani factories, the Gripen must be better.
And if you look at the to two airframes the Gripen looks slicker, so his mind is on that.

The Gripen C/D and JF-17 Block 2 are the exact same, with each aircraft counter acting each other.

Both aircraft have similar flight characteristics and payload.

..

JF-17 VS Gripen

Side by Side comparison

Saab Gripen C & D advanced light fighter


The South African government, on behalf of the Air Force ordered 28 Saab Gripen C & D advanced light fighter aircraft in 1999 as part of a “strategic defence package.

Toju200:
Jf17 and Gripen has some level of comparison but Gripen is far better and Smarter than Jf17 so their not on the same level EOD!!!!!

And Btw jln115 has proven points.most people here should learn how to debate

Can you prove with evidence that the Gripen is far better and smarter than the JF-17?

LOCAL CONTENT DEVELOPMENT: NAF PARTNERS CAVERTON HELICOPTERS FOR LOCAL MAINTENANCE OF ITS AIRCRAFT, CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONNEL

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is set to partner Caverton Helicopters in the areas of maintenance of its rotary wing aircraft, capacity development of its engineers, technicians and pilots as well as software support. This is imperative as part of the NAF’s continued efforts to ensure adequate and increased serviceability of its aircraft to boost the tempo of its air operations to tackle insurgency and other forms of criminality in the Country.

The partnership is also in tandem with the Presidential Executive Order No 5 for development of local content in science, engineering and technology. This was revealed today, 12 January 2021, by the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, during his visit to Caverton Helicopters Limited in Ikeja, Lagos. The CAS, who was accompanied on the visit by some Branch Chiefs, Commandant Armed Forces Resettlement Centre, Air Officer Commanding Logistics Command and other senior officers, was warmly received by the Chairman Caverton Offshore Support Group, Mr Aderemi Makanjuola and other senior Management Staff of the Company and conducted on a tour of the new Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) Facility as well as the Caverton Aviation Training Centre.

Speaking further during the visit, the CAS, while noting the critical importance of partnerships between the military and the private sector, especially when a Country is fighting war, stated that Caverton Helicopters had grown in leaps and bounds since the last time he visited the Company’s facilities in Port Harcourt. He noted that the NAF would benefit immensely from the Company’s expansion in the area of training and maintenance of its helicopters. He further noted that fighting a war was not just about bullets, bombs and rockets but required the participation of all segments of the society, including the private sector. According to him, “when a country is fighting war, all hands must be on deck to succeed and ensure that the Nation is secured and the people can pursue their legitimate aspirations without fear”.

Air Marshal Abubakar emphasized that capacity building could also be boosted through such military-private sector partnerships. He disclosed that Caverton Helicopters is one of the indigenous Companies that the Service was keen to partner with, especially for the maintenance of NAF aircraft such as Agusta Westland 139, Bell 412 and Agusta 109 Power Helicopters. “I am also very excited that we can benefit from training. Training is a very important area that we are very interested in because we believe that the human being is the most important resource and that human being cannot function effectively if he/she does not have the right knowledge or skills”, the CAS said. He further disclosed that the NAF would immediately start sending technicians and pilots for simulator training at the Caverton Helicopter Level D Simulator, once completed.

Speaking further, Air Marshal Abubakar highlighted that the NAF, in collaboration with Sister Services, was working round the clock to tackle insurgency and other security challenges confronting the Nation. According to him, his visit to Caverton was part of the fight against insurgency. He emphasized that fighting to ensure that Nigeria is secured, was not only a military affair but a collective responsibility. He noted there was a disconnect between the military and the private sector, which, he said, would need to be bridged. He said NAF and Caverton would put together a joint team to take the partnership to a higher level by quickly working out modalities to operationalize the various areas of collaboration.

While welcoming the CAS, Mr Makanjuola stated that Caverton Helicopters, a 100 per cent indigenous Company, has many things to thank the NAF for; one of which, he said, was the fact that many retired NAF officers were now working with the Company. He noted that in recognition of the immense contributions of the NAF to the security and development of the Nation as well as the areas of convergence in terms of training and maintenance requirements, he felt that Caverton Helicopters, with its team of competent hands, has a lot to offer the NAF.

The Chairman further stated that, in the area of training, the Company has very strong national content development strategy. He disclosed that the Company invested in the first full flight Helicopter Level D Simulator in Africa, which, he said, is expected to be completed in March 2021. He noted that this would ensure that all simulator training is done in Nigeria, thereby saving foreign exchange whilst also generating revenue by attracting clients from Europe and other parts of Africa. He remarked that the areas of training collaboration include type-rating courses, recurrency training as well as search and rescue training, amongst others. He said the Company would also be offering type-rating training for the engineers. The Chairman promised that the Company would work assiduously with the NAF to ensure that everything the Service requires to succeed is provided and delivered with utmost urgency and transparency.

Highlight of the visit was the tour of the Caverton MRO Facility and Aviation Training Centre as well as the 139 full flight Helicopter Level D Simulator.

5300kg payload not 3400kg sorry. That's still the range of JF-17 thunder ⚡

Maybe the jf-17 is also competing with F-16 as well just look at the weight, length and wingspan too.

You just like wahala.

Stop arguing with that clown, he is bored.

iblawi:
I think FA-50 it different from T-50 golden eagle.

Philippines Air Force use the FA-50.

Jimi24:
Does the Yak even have a radar?.

I think it has.

marvin906:
Kindly explain what you mean by the same class

The Gripen C/D model, JF-17 Block II, FA-50 and Tejas are all categorized as light weight fighters because of the lower weapons load they carry, single engine and less powerful than the ones used in the F-16, J-10.

The YAK-130 is a trainer aircraft, it's used to train fighter pilots, but can also perform light attack like the Alpha Jet and L-39.

jln115:
Tejas and JF-17 are asub match 2 affordable light multi role aircraft in direct competition with each other the FA50 and Yak are trainer/light attack aircraft .... Neither of these are in the same class as the Gripen.

OK.
