WARSAW, Poland — Bulgaria’s Council of Ministers has approved four draft agreements with the United States for a total of almost $1.3 billion to acquire eight F-16 jets and related equipment from Lockheed Martin

Bulgaria will pay 1.3 Billion dollars for just 8 units of F-16 jets.

https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2019/07/10/bulgaria-approves-draft-deals-to-buy-f-16s-in-record-defense-procurement/
Just for those who don't know
Bulgaria is a NATO COUNTRY (2004)
That means they were obligated to get rid of their Russian made Airplanes and acquire
US made or NATO manufactured Aircraft
with Soft loans from
Uncle Sam.

Nice question you've just asked here and I thought I was the only one thinking in that direction . Trust me the Tunisia armed forces has the capability to detect and shoot the jet but they just decided not to do so, the reason best known to them ?
Honestly I don't want to speculate.
Usual Procedure when a Plane is stricken I.E. it is in bad shape and has to land / penetrate foreign airspace they radio ahead and the plane will be directed to the nearest airfield.
And also for security reasons it will be escorted
By Jets from the Nearest Airbase.
This does not appear to be the scenario.
Don't know whether Algeria 1 has any information on what happened.

US will not sell to them any longer. They would also not deliver the 4 units already made. Turkish pilots would be sent home from training.
\
TURKEY is the biggest loser in this
it takes years and $M to train a pilot to be able to fly a plane like the F35
Years of R& D and Manufacture and infrastructure set up.
now ALL THAT IS GONE
Russia will sell the SU35
They will not set up shop in TURKEY
PUTIN ain't that stupid.
Pilots will now have to be retrained on the SU35

The NAF carries out on a daily basis.
Close Air Support
ISR
Medevac.
@$!# Missions
In addition the NAF conducts bombing runs and hot pursuit in Niger.
These are the facts.

the guy that made up dat story eehhh.... Needs check up all what he is saying he can't defend it...just so annoying
The guy is on a fishing expeditions in recent weeks bh has suffered horriffic unsustainable losses hence they are lying low .
I would not bee surprised if this is a closet informant for bh
I am not going to give him any information he does not know
NIGER AND CHAD between the two of them have barely two serviceable HELICOPTERS
NIGERIA/ FRANCE / US provide AIR COVER for NIGER
The NAF provides air cover for our troops in close up battle support operations
The NAF was the difference in the BATTLE OF AON ( The video Is there)
The NA MAINTAINS their hilux trucks and TANKS not that there is much to maintain anyway change the engine oil / tires and brakes you can train a MONKEY to do that
BH do not maintain their captured equipment recent captured equipment attests to that.
People should not give credence to this troll/ closet symapthizer

If you ask me I would say Nigerian army has no business making vehicles. Rather, they should state the specifications they want and allow different companies across Nigeria to bid for the project. Although, Nigerian army can assist this contractors with R&grin materials so as to enable them do a better job.

However, if Nigerian army insist on making their vehicle themselves it should be a collaboration between DICON and other private companies not Nigerian army going in on it alone.
This particular MRAP (ARA 11) was made by PROFORCE not the NA though the NA had input.
the recent IFVs and LTIV that were displayed by the NA are IMHO still can be regarded as prototypes and like the ARA will be improved upon with time and eventually I expect the manufacturing will be handed of to a private company.

There's something called Seniority in Rank
This is preceded by hierarchy
LT.GEN Buratai reports to the CDS . GEN Olonishakin
LT. GEN Adeosun reports to LT. GEN Buratai. regardless.

EVarn:
So who is the most superior officer in the Nigerian Army,the CoAS or the CoTO?, since both of them have the same rank.
The COAS is recognized as the most senior
The COTO is subordinate to the COAS by virtue of the ARMY'S Hierarchy which list the six chiefs on the same level as a GOC of a Division.
in short the COTO reports to the COAS
The COAS is one of 4 : CNS, CAS , COAS AND IG that report to the CDS
CDS reports to the President.

Foreign AffairsRe: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by LTGEN: 4:52pm On Jul 05, 2019
Let me say a few words on 61Mech's comments.He means well and he is coming from a genuine point .
This is my take.
Nigeria cannot afford to keep hurling millions of dollars buying hundred of units of APCS and MRAPS to the detriment of undermining their own modest Military industrial Complex.
I am not being jingoistic.
Most Countries South Africa included spend $B on R&D and are very reluctant on two things
1 T .O.T
2 Third party Sales.
For years the NAF had a single problem with the hydraulics of their Russian built M -Series Helicopters.
Helicopters were grounded over this issue till the NAF solved this problem themselves with a plastic Diaphragms.
Like Henry and I agree there is a lot of streamlining that can be done, However Nigeria needs to start from somewhere.
I also would like to see DICON handover at some point to a private company with the infrastructure to ramp up the production of these APCs and MRAPS at some point.
Foreign AffairsRe: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by LTGEN: 3:09am On Jul 05, 2019
Like the high clearance.
Like the 360 degrees turret all round protection.
Critical thinking
1.Weight.
2.Level of Ballistic protection
3.4×4 or Simple rear axle drive.
4. Armament ? 30 Calibre or 50?
5.LMG or HMG

I don't think lionel4power did any research before he went after the UK
https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2019/01/10/uk-defense-chief-f-35-jets-are-ready-for-operations/
This took me 2 minutes to locate.
1. The UK will be investing in its air force to the tune of $1B
2.T hey are signed up to buy a minimum of 48 F35 as their first tranche and that number would reach 100+ regardless of whatever they decide to do with the TEMPEST
3. The UK with two of the most ultra modern Aircraft Carriers at $1B+ / each, can reach any part of the world and thus remains a Nation not to be trifled with at any point in time.

Nigerian army imports a lot of light arms, artillery and tank rounds from Serbia.
Out of curiosity I wonder if Serbia and Nigeria would have a TOT agreement to upgrade the T-72 Tanks.

When a 500lb bomb hits the ground .
This is what happens.
There is a kill zone radius that propagates outwards .
The blast and concussive effect will also suck out all the oxygen in that Area.
Whether a Bldg structure is hit
Which is the logical choice because it evident something is being stored there or someone standing underneath a tree it won't make a jot of difference.
The Chances of survival depend on how far away from the blast radius you are.
This also one of the reasons why Blue on Blue is still prevalent as recently as 2016 with the US Armed Forces.

[quote author=Jelal0007 post=79412588][/quote]Most of these New NATO Countries are liability Nations
Latvia, Estonia Lithuania
Russia would roll through them within a week.
Estonia is the only one that ACTUALLY spends money on being NATO compliant.
It is doubtful that Lumbering Antonov would be sent into the Air for these Countries.
However there is textbook War and there is
real War .
Let's hope We will never have to find out.
The loyalties of Turkey as per being a NATO Member is also something We hope NATO does not have to find out.

shadowprimezero:
I respectfully disagree. In my opinion, what the Army needs to do is to invest heavily on HESCO barriers with stacks of three on top, sentries and patrols to give adequate situational awareness and of course area denial weapons like mines. A well protected pillbox on watch towers armed with HMG's would be cheaper and more reliable than Gatling guns. Trenches surrounding the base also need to be deeper and leave limited points of entry to create a bottleneck to attacking forces which will turn into an awesome killzone for motars and HMG's

FOB's have to be built in relative proximity to each other and also fire bases so as to be able to render reinforcements and artillery fire support from a distance when a sister base is under attack. The key is a mutual defence arrangement.
You have just given me a brilliant idea.
Thanks and God Bless.

African armies don't usually have aviation wings. Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, RSA rotary aircrafts are used by the individual "airforces" of the respective countries. This trip to the US is very important.

If you're talking about the avaition wing of a developing country, then, yes we are. We're under-studying the Army Avaition Wing of the Colombian army.
Another important aspect of this trip I hope would be lessons learned on Maintenance and Efficiency of Logistics.Something that in the past has been an Achilles heel.
Now that the 2019 Budget has finally been approved I hope the NA aviation wing will get their first set of Helios.
