They had a concept for Ezugwu. The concept dictated the type of driver side outside view screen. After that it is just to modify the vehicle external profile to fit the available screens on the global matkrt.
I think NAMVC dont make this driver side outside view screen

Forgive me, but I don't understand what you're saying. What message are you trying to pass?

Odunayaw:
How does the GNA & LNA pull "proper fighter jets" into the picture?

Both sides use mercenary pilots, but the LNA has the advantage in the air. Their pilots graduated from Jordan. UAE also provides air cover, Air Tractor and Chinese drones.

Jimi24:
Stealth / low observability - not good. Lights up on IRST

Supercruise. - just fair

NetCentric warfare ability - very poor

EW suite - poor, maybe just better than J20

AESA radar - fair but reliability issues

IRST - fair

MAWS/other protective systems - poor

Russia is only scamming other countries with fake 5th Gen platforms.

Their real answer to the opposition is hypersonic strike aircraft. This is where they would be throwing their money because they are leading the tech although US railgun technology will destroy everyone of those aircraft when they are fielded.

Can you prove these claims?

Have you flown a 5th Gen Jet?

You're making really bold claims with no proof.

Jimi24:
The design.of the vehicle constrains what drivers screen to buy.

This is most certainly off the shelf buy from China. No need to copy. The engine and chassis also chinese I imagine.

Can you kindly express your thoughts clearly in your comments, I don't quite understand the point you're trying to pass across.

Which is off the shelf purchase, which is copied?

The Ezugwu uses a Mercedes engine.

Jimi24:
So Algeria is buying an aircraft just going into service in Russia. Okay. That's not smart. Russia is going to be recouping their development costs really fast. Also to be honest, SU 57 5th gen capabilities are mostly non existent or modest at best

Can give us proof? How are the SU-57 5th Gen capabilities nonexistent or modest at best?

Have you flown a 5th Gen air craft?

Did Nigerian engineers copy the Ezugwu drivers view from the Type 07P APC from China?

The Type 07P is used by Cameroon army.

Semi-official Algeria is purchasing 4 awacs Beriev A-100

Jimi24:
Read my post mindfully. I am not saying they should not buy because a prototype crashed. I am saying they should not buy because the aircraft is still under development as gar as I am concerned.
Algeria should be asking itself how many SU57s have been deployed by Russia itself?. Also what particular threat gap are they trying to close with this acquisition. If it is unstable Libya, then a new air superiority fighter is of no use. If it is the high capabilities acquired by Morocco and Tunisia, then more upgraded versions of SUs and MIGs are the answer.

The F35s is a fully developed aircraft program already in service with more than ten air forces and the two crashes experienced on the aircraft are so well researched as to be almost expected.
Almost every airforce using F35s now knows the locations on the airframe and frequency of inspection to predict the cracks that cause the failures leading to the crashes . That's the difference a well matured development of an aircraft brings

Man, you need to understand that Algeria is not as unambitious as Nigeria.

Let me respond to this post very well, so you understand why Algeria needs it.

Morocco is the primary adversary of Algeria. Morocco is getting 24 units of F-16V from the US.

Italy across the Mediterranean has F-35s, including other NATO allies in the region are expected to purchase the F-35. The SU-57 provides that deterrent to both Morocco and NATO members in the region.

The SU-57 that crashed is not a prototype. It was the first serial copy, which was expected to join the Russian air force at the end of this year.

I don't understand the information you're trying to pass with the F-35 comment here, to be honest, it makes no sense.

No Aircraft is fully developed, that's why fighter aircrafts carry out periodic upgrades across the life time of the aircraft service.

The SU-57, F-35, F-22 and J-20 are the world's only 5th Gen multi-role fighters in service. Each aircraft plays to the strength of it's manufacturer/Nation.

Jimi24:
This is one of the most EXTRAORDINARY wastes of resources by a modern third world country.

Why would a country of intelligent professional defence planners buy this unproven capabilty?
One prototype just crashed in Russia for instance. I suspect as in most Arab countries that Algeria is compensating for a fight-less military doctrinal culture by throwing money into hardware

This your post makes no sense.

For your information, there has been 2 F-35 crashes.

Probe finds F-35's first crash was caused by manufacturing defect, in revelation that could affect Japan plans to buy aircraft

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/05/12/world/f-35s-first-crash-caused-manufacturing-defect-report/#.Xgj3Ix4o-yU


By your analogy why should any one by the F-35?

Does this make sense to you?

JF-17 block 3

SuperSixSeven:
I just wonder why we didnt buy these jets from the original manufacturer.

The situation in Libya is another reason why we need to invest in proper fighter jets.

GNA in Tripoli is supported by Turkey and Qatar, now you have terrorists moving from Syria paid by Turkey to fight in Libya.

LNA in are supported by France, Italy, UAE, Egypt, Saudi-Arabia, Russian mercenaries, Chadian mercenaries.

The fallout of the war in Libya would hit us like a rocket in Nigeria.

SuperSixSeven:
We should deal the JF17s with China otherwise we and up Pakistans low-budget variant.

[1] Pakistan JF-17 Block I/II Twin seater presented yesterday
[2] China JF-17 Block III Twin seater (aero-dynamical changes at the Tail and conformal fuel tanks CFT that grant greater range)

We've already paid for jets from Pakistan. China should have been our only option with purchasing these jets.

Like I said in a different thread, I don't trust Pakistani QA/QC operations. Besides, Pakistan is only an assembly plant. We should have concentrated on China. Look at the Myanmar planes.

Notwithstanding, the Block III JF-17 from what we've seen is simply not good enough. I was hoping we would get a jet close to the Gripen NG, thoroughly disappointed.

Although these are early days, and more information should come to light soon enough, but I felt we would get something good by now.

The MIG-35 is the best option for us.

Myanmar are mixing the JF-17 and the SU-30MK. They are getting 16 units of JF-17 and 6 units of SU-30MK.

Armenia has taken delivery of 4 units of SU-30SM, small countries.

Wow, these are amazing, really spectacular!!!

Exactly you can see it is not only Lagos we have there is also port Harcourt, Abuja we have not even showed uyo or kano next year uyo will finish it's Skyscraper than other investors will start rushing into the state

It's incredible anyone would try to compare the two countries.

Abohboy:
Thank you

Kenya is far, far, far...............behind Nigeria.

Gripen NG

Although still early days, the JF-17 Block 3 hasn't lived up to the hype.

No new engine

No new hard points

No increased fuel capacity

With AESA, it can only be rated slightly above the F-16 Block 52.

The JF-17 is clearly not enough to meet our future threats.

We really need to stop at 3 units, instead consider the MIG-35, SU-35, J-10C for our future air needs.

The Tucanos and Attack Helicopters can fulfill our COIN needs.

Algeria shouldn't be an African country, perhaps shouldn't be on this thread, please join European Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread.

We de hustle to buy just 3JF-17 for how many years, this guys de buy squadrons of sukhoi jet like sachet pure water.

Apart from Russia, UK, France, Italy, Turkey and Germany, Algeria has a military that is better armed than any in Europe.
