4. Tell me Why China is asking for AESA from Israel if its JF-17 AESA is working??

"This is an incredibly low quality question?"

China has multiple AESA radars, including the KLJ-7A AESA radar.

3. Korean T-50 has done more exercise with Sukhois and F16s, that doesnt make it Sukhoi. so this was useless point.

JF-17 in joint exercise with UAE F-16 Block 60, Saudi Arabia Eurofighter, Kuwati F/A-18 and Egypt F-16 Block 52.

The JF-17 is a combat proven aircraft, all weather, state of the art aircraft with modern avionics and an advanced EW suite.

1. Having a nose section made of Composite doesn't make it composite Aircraft, Same like my Bicycle`s front mudguard is made of Alloy doesnt make it an "Alloy Bicycle".

Nigerian Air Force JF-17, we can see the areas with composites, marked in green.

It is clearly not the nose section.

rationalhuman:
2. You can not quote a single reference for All Axis Q.R. FBW for this range, China has only one for J20 completely incompatible (Prove me wrong by posting a credible reference)

The designers may have added the spine so as to create more room for internal fuel (and compensate for the space taken by the second seat). In addition, and perhaps most significantly (both for the JF-17B and the newer single-seat JF-17 Block-III), [b]the JF-17B also introduced a new three-axis fly-by-wire flight control system to the Thunder.[3] [/b]The JF-17B’s nose is also technically capable of carrying an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, though the PAF opted to retain the pulse-Doppler KLJ-7 for its own fleet.[4]

This one is from BAE systems.

The first public demonstration of combat vehicles under the American MPF ​​program.

Current plans for the US Army include the purchase of 504 serial MPF machines. First of all, these machines should go to equip the companies planned for the formation of individual companies (staffing the company is 14 vehicles) in infantry brigades (Infantry Brigade Combat teams - IBCT). The introduction of such a company into each of the 33 infantry brigades of the regular army and the National Guard is supposed, the first such company should achieve combat readiness in 2025


Mobile Protected Firepower (MPF) program, launched by the US Army in 2015, provides for the creation of a tracked combat vehicle weighing no more than 32 tons at first (according to the latest data, the mass limit has been raised to 38 tons - although it may mean “short” tons), equipped with cannon weapons of 105 or 120 mm caliber and active defense complex. By design, MPF vehicles will have a higher level of operational and tactical mobility than Abrams tanks.

Agreed, Even Manufacturer(Chinese) dont use them it shows the trust on platform, These JF 17 are good against few African militaries but what if in next 3,4 years your opponents buys any modern aircraft with Composite Fiber technology and All axis FBR then will this JF-17 The pathetic copy of Mig 21 with its metallic architecture and Single Axis FBR will not become a death trap? I know India`s Tejas is not available for foreign exports as Manufacturer is under huge pressure to fulfill its main customer Indian Air Force. But when it will initiate few more assembly lines you will see the lineups for that one. Although its not realistic as even by 2025 Kenyan demand will not be a priority for India but I genuinely wish if Kenya will be able to plan for Tejas (MK2 Cherry on Top). It will be able to dominate not only east Africa but up to Yemen. Nigeria has more deep relations with India so maybe in future it will get benefit.

The ignorance in this post is laughable.

The don't use the JF-17 because they have the J-10. No Air Force flies 2 types of a similar class of fighter jet.

The Chinese are also not using it because the JF-17 is a joint fighter programme between Pakistan and the CATIC group, not the Chinese government.

The JF-17 is not a MIG-21 also, the B model has 3 axis fly by wire, it also uses extensive composites.

The JF-17 is a combat capable aircraft, has flown active Air to ground, Air to Air and CAP missions.

Regularly trains against F-16s, Mirage, SU-27, J-15, F-15 and F-4 phantoms.

It has also achieved export success with Myanmar and Nigeria.

What sort of hole do some of you creep out from.

To be honest, I'm always just awe-struck at the class of leadership shown by AM Sadiq Abubakar.

He is by far the best CAS we've had in the history of Nigeria.

When you hear him talk, he so calm, clear, reassuring and inspiring.

He has turned NAF into a very modern force, supports local content, is innovative, allows his subordinates think outside the box.

I wish he had more money to spend, NAF which is currently our pride and joy would have be unmatchable.

I remember him telling senators during budget defence, don't send us the money for procurement, send it directly to the governments we want to buy from.

The only area I'm not to happy with him is, he saw ARA MRAP 2, yet he bought that MRAP for Regiment from South-Africa.

Now, he has supported Proforce a lot but he should do more.

rka2:
You talk as if you are an authority. I was an active participant on Beeg's blog. It is a blog and not gospel. I didn't tell you they weren't stored at Makurdi Air Base just that they were stored out in the open without any protection from the elements and by the time the Indians inspected them, they were not fit for purpose. Do these photos look like they were crated?

Talking of disinformation, I can not think of anybody else so adept at it on this forum.

He is the best at passing disinformation. Making phony baseless claims with authority.

Anytime I want to have a good laugh, I come down here to look at some of his disjointed responses to posts.

Very amusing guy.

CAPACITY BUILDING: NAF TRAINS FLIGHT NURSES, CONFIGURES C-130H FOR EFFECTIVE AEROMEDICAL EVACUATION

In furtherance of efforts to build the capacity of its personnel for the effective and efficient conduct of Aeromedical Evacuation missions to airlift wounded soldiers from various theatres of operation to appropriate treatment facilities, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has conducted a training for some of its flight nurses and aircrew. The week-long training, which came to an end today, 23 April 2020, with a simulation exercise at the flight line of the 307 Executive Airlift Group, Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja using the C-130H aircraft, was aimed at enhancing the knowledge of participants to enable them ensure that wounded personnel are stabilized and provided necessary life support from point of enplaning until they arrive at the destination facility. In this regard, a NAF C-130H aircraft has been configured to carry specialized stretchers for the patients along with necessary life support equipment, including patient monitors and ventilators

Speaking during the event, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the training and simulation exercise, stating that it aptly depicted what was expected of flight nurses and other crew members while conducting aeromedical evacuation of wounded soldiers from the battlefield to the locations of designated medical facilities. He noted that the capability, which would reduce the risk to wounded personnel and enhance their chances of survival, could also be deployed for the emergency movement of COVID-19 patients, if so required.

The CAS disclosed that the NAF had, over the past 4 and half years, made concerted efforts to build the capacity of its Medical personnel to not only ensure the provision of qualitative healthcare services to personnel and their families but also to ensure effective care for personnel wounded in action. To this end, he said, NAF Trauma/Emergency Care Teams had been set up in all theatres of operation. He noted that this has helped to boost morale and fighting spirit of the personnel. Air Marshal Abubakar therefore commended the Air Officer Commanding Mobility Command as well as the Chief of Medical Services and the Commander of the 301 Heavy Airlift Group for their efforts in ensuring the effective conduct of the training as well as the configuration of the C-130H.

Also present at the event were some Branch Chiefs from Headquarters NAF, the Chief of Staff of Mobility Command as well as Commanders and other senior NAF officers.
