It doesn't seem like Moroccan M60s have any significant upgrade.

At least when compared to Turkey.

Toju200:
it's on all Super tucano I'VE seen...
Don't think if it's any sort of add-on armor

Let's see the other Super Tucanos you have seen apart from that of Afghanistan.

Then show me the ones with additional armour plating.

Always back your comments with evidence, so that you don't look like a clown.

jl115:
Yes unlike other African countries

You're not making any sense.

jl115:
Other countries also have added armour not just the Nigerian variant

Other countries in Africa? NO!!

The only other country I know that has added amour is Afghanistan.

slimthugchimee2:


Baba put certainly oh

He has a contact in Russia. Contact that always delivers.

Odunayaw:
You're sure that's armor?

Yea, that's additional armour plating. Bolted in like you have on the Ezugwu.

Unlike Super Tucanos used by other countries in Africa, Nigerian Super Tucanos come with added amour protection for the pilots.




Note the additional side amours by the cockpit.

marvin906:
L 39za is the only trainer jet we have.
why trying to convert it..
when naf is complaining of lack of trainer's

You have not been following the news?

10 units of L-39ZA have been since retrofitted for combat and have currently replaced the F-7NI in combat roles.

The F-7NI is currently undergoing deep maintenance by CATIC in Nigeria.

Nice shot video of the Tucano.

marvin906:
how many JF 17 are we buying and why weren't they purchased all at once
I think is time to retire those alpha Jets to trainer's

Nigeria is getting 3 JF-17s, we would possibly buy more, but confirmed units is 3.

Alpha Jets might not be retired so soon as some units are currently undergoing avionics upgrade, same thing for the L-39ZA. They are also getting avionics upgrade.

marvin906:
was Egypt blind when they where buying it..
what's the point of buying them with restrictions in a case of war between those countries those jets become useless

Well, the Egyptians or North Africans in this thread would be in the best position to answer this.

nemesis8u:
I wrote this long time back , should clear any doubts if any . It the most simplest explanation one can expect .

I've read all you wrote with regards to how SAMs perform. It's quite detailed and informative.

However crucially it failed to answer this question with regards to the performance of the Pantsir against contemporaries.

The Tor M has out performed the Pantsir in the same class and same engagement envelope.

Why is this?

Jimmy17:
Hi, does the JF17 package come with anti ship missiles?

We don't know the armament Nigerian JF-17s will come with.

Tinfoil:
The downside of getting us weapons is the controls they put in the software and restrictions on how you use them, you have to get permission to use them.

Egypt is buying Russian jets because their f16 can’t lock on Israel or us jets

This is not a high performance aircraft, and is not subject to the same restrictions as the likes of the F-16 and F-15 etc

PERSONNEL WELFARE RECEIVES BOOST AS NAF COMMISSIONS TWO ADDITIONAL BLOCKS OF RESIDENTIAL ACCOMMODATION FOR OFFICERS IN LAGOS

The drive of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) towards ensuring that its personnel have befitting residential accommodation has received a fresh boost with the commissioning of 2 newly constructed blocks of 6 x 3 bedroom flats for married officers at the Sam Ethnan Air Force Base Ikeja, Lagos today, 28 May 2020. Speaking during the commissioning, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, who was represented by the Air Officer Commanding Logistics Command (AOC LC), Air Vice Marshal Lawal Alao, noted that the commissioning of the project was a testimony to his resolve to improve the welfare of NAF personnel, being a major requirement in the development of human capacity for enhanced operational performance. He noted that, while the NAF was being restructured for more effective and efficient service delivery in the last 4 and half years, several infrastructural developments aimed at improving both the working and living conditions of personnel were also embarked upon. The infrastructural developments, the CAS added, included the construction of new offices and living accommodations across all NAF Bases in the Country, to provide conducive atmosphere for optimum operational output.

Speaking further, the CAS noted that the infrastructural development was a major morale boosting factor for some of the modest operational achievements recorded so far. “In the last 4 and half years, while working to address the housing deficit for personnel, we have provided befitting accommodation for about 7,500 families. We remain resolute to do more”, he said. The CAS commended the Logistics Command (LC) for providing necessary support that had enabled the Service to be more efficient in the conduct of its operations across various theatres. He pledged that the Headquarters would continue to provide the necessary resources to enable the Command to continue playing its vital role in supporting NAF operations. The CAS equally lauded the measures emplaced by the Command to curtail the spread of COVID-19 and described the communal approach to tackling the virus with the introduction of COVID-19 Enlightenment and Enforcement Team made up of youth volunteers within the Base, as most impressive. He highlighted that Headquarters NAF, in compliance with the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) guidelines, had directed the scaling down of the number of personnel for official work to the barest minimum to limit likelihood of contact. He also reminded personnel to continue to maintain personal hygiene, whilst observing physical distancing.

While thanking the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Muhammadu Buhari for providing the resources being expended to improve personnel welfare, the CAS enjoined personnel to take responsibility for the proper maintenance of all infrastructure on all NAF Bases, whilst remaining committed to the effective execution of assigned tasks. “As a Service, we must also strive to continuously meet the expectations of the Nation at this time of heightened insecurity by protecting the citizenry and our critical assets as well as bringing succour to those in despair as we discharge our constitutional responsibilities to the Nation,” he said.

In his welcome address, the Commander 651 Base Service Group, Air Commodore Razaq Olanrewaju, expressed gratitude to the CAS for continuing to give priority attention to the provision of decent accommodation for personnel. He assured the CAS that personnel would continually strive to ensure that the NAF lives up to its constitutional responsibilities. One of the highlights of the occasion was the presentation of keys to beneficiaries.

Sweet Nigerian Air Force Tucano.

Cammo looks great too!!

nemesis8u:
Dang it , I posted the reply but the network changed and my post got sacrificed to the cyber gods


Anyways did u read my post in technical thread ?

I will go there and read it now.

Nigerian Air Force Super-Tucano

nemesis8u:
I saw the discussions on why Pantsir got tanked in Libya , some of the guys got some of the reasons correct like hostile HUMIT etc revealing position and state of deployment of Pantsir etc.

Well, you missed something, why did the Tor-M engage more targets than the Pantsir then?

Considering that the Pantsir was designed to replace the Tor system.

According to Wikipedia, the Pantsir has a detection range of 32km, how could it not spot the drones, we saw in some of the videos, the Pantsir was active.

Can the ANKA-S engage targets from 30,000 feet? I'm sure they need to come close to engage their targets.

The Pantsir has performed badly in both battlefields in Syria and Libya.

The Tor and Buk systems have outperformed the Pantsir in both Syria and Libya.

I disagree!! at the end of day regardless if someone is wrong or right he should have the freedom to express his opinion no matter how deluded

He's a terrible hateful tribalist. There's nothing in his empty skull.

Toju200:
what kind of person are u...
Didn't u read that post....
That was the sick mother of a soilder..
And that woman will be operated on Wednesday...
Mr wat is wrong with u

He's simply a very hateful person.

A common simpleton claiming to donate 100k, the effrontery to make iidiotic claims.

bidex111:
@kabe just learn to overlook this type of comments. There is this dude on the other thread with lengthy comments, I don’t just border or waste my time on them !

That dude is a known tribalist, he comes here stoking hate at every opportunity. I prefer to respond to his kind with 10 times more vile so he is aware that it's a 2 way street.

He's not here to gain any information he just wants to ridicule and cause as much confusion as he can. He will soon insult the Yoruba people, just watch.
