i think the nigerian air force have a lot of other priority before thinking of getting an AWACS !

I agree, that's why I said it's a system for the future.

You know I was pulling your leg, right?

Lol, offcourse.

Can someone ID this Aircraft, I've don't think I've seen it before.

rka2:
What? You are not top brass? I am shocked

"I'm guessing you didn't know also?".


Well............. Now, you know!!!

Public Service announcement!!!


In light of recent events, I'm forced to make this public announcement.

This thread is not defence headquarters, it is not the office of the NSA and it's definitely not the President's office.

I am not the army chief or the chief of defence staff, neither am I the President.

So please don't ask me questions or refer to me like I'm the top brass.

Thank you all for your anticipated cooperation!!

you see, the problem is that they don't come in all at once to request a permanent base. most of the tucano deal involved infrastructure, weapons, training and support roles. this roles would last for sometime. the details of the contract state "Under the contract, Embraer and SNC will provide
ground training devices, mission planning systems,
mission debrief systems, spares, ground support
equipment, and alternate mission equipment.
The contract also involves the delivery of
contiguous US interim contractor support, outside
of continental US (OCONUS) contractor logistic
support and field service representatives for
OCONUS support". you know that foreign military personnel usually starts with foreign contractors. remember that US presence in Somalia started with 50 personnel. all those logistic support would take a while, and since we paid for it, we wouldn't be suspicious about it. also I don't think Nigeria has much experience with guided munition. I don't know if the alpha jet bomb strikes are done with guided bombs, but I do not think so. so there is a high probability that foreign contractors could be here for sometime, and it could translate to military personnel. lastly, the kainji airbase extension is for what reason exactly?

I admit you make very good points, but a permanent foreign base in Nigeria is unlikely.

i meant Our AFB we are setting up in Niger republic...
We have Two Alpha jet Stationed there currently...

I don't think we have an AFB there. Our planes operate from there under the auspices of the MNJTF.

This is from the initial consignment.

These vehicles were built to be used in the Border war during the time of Apartheid, but when they were finally introduced the war had ended.

Toju200:
thank u...
Nigeria will not allow any foreign military base...
From what I've read some of the Tucano will be deployed to Niger one of our AFB we are setting up there....
Two alpha jets are already there

Kainji is Nigeria's main training base. Alpha jets are based there. That's also were most of the Alpha Jet upgrades and reactivations are done.

I agree with you. its not about intel. but the runway extension might be for the ability to land c5 galaxies with troops. don't you notice Nigeria is the only major country fighting terrorism without US presence. with IS having lost a lot of ground, in the middle east, the next hotspot might be the sahel.

I agree that the next hotspot on the global war on terror is the Sahel.

The fact about the matter is, Nigeria would never allow a foreign military base in the country.

The Nigerian president that would make the mistake of doing that would be impeached and imprisoned.

The United States already has a huge military presence in Africa, with permanent bases in Kenya, Djibouti and Niger. They can also use French bases in Chad, Ivory Coast and Mali.

GlobalEye surveillance aircraft.

This would be a very important system for the Nigerian Air Force. Although we currently have the ATR-70 which is currently undergoing deep upgrades in Germany and the King Air ISR, I think this system would give us more of an edge in surveillance.

Nigerian made Innoson gun trucks are also participating in the offensive.

The only country I know that has T-90 is Algeria.

Let's see if we bought full option or basic ....I would love to see the APS, and remote weapon system .....and the hunter killer fcs, and night infrared driving capability for the driver.....I hope we bought full option.

I heard we bought something similar to Thailand. Pakistan has the most advanced version.

The most important thing is numbers, how many did we actually get. A lot of sources say 35 units. 35 units is too small, we should look at a minimum number of 77 units.
