PoliticsRe: Why Can't Nigeria Simply Manufacture Its Own Weapons? by mach7(m): 5:41pm On Dec 12, 2018
It is not just easy to manufacture weapons like that. Weapons require development and such development period could be as high as 15-20 years. Another factor is the cost of development. Such sums are ginormous and Nigeria cannot afford such.

So in summary,

1. It requires extensive R & D
2. It is very expensive

Paco is a great signing. He together with a revitalized and resurgent Marco Reus, a tricky Jadon Sancho and the Generalissimo Axel Witsel must bring Dortmund a title this season.


Ase!

He boycotted the commissioning because there's no opportunity for grandstanding.
You are free to arrive at your own conclusions. However, note that as the DG of Buhari"s reelection campaign team, he is the chief campaign officer for votes. Hence the Town Hall meeting was important for him.

There is no junior Minister or senior Minister situation here. Ameachi is the Minister of Transportation, and his ministry generally oversees all transportation sectors including aviation. Hadi Sirika specifically is the Minister of State for Aviation, overseeing aviation matters directly. I see no issues here.

The first picture is a F22 air superiority fighter aircraft. Kindly reconfirm.

Planes do crash from time to time, and it's nothing new. It doesn't mean that the aircraft is inferior or that the pilot is inept. Although, rivalry between nations makes this kind of news, sauce for propaganda.

Foreign AffairsRe: Russian Military Plane With 14 On Board Disappears During Israeli Strikes On Syr by mach7(m): 2:30pm On Sep 18, 2018
Mr. Hotwax, I am not arguing with you. However, it does seem that you have issues with comprehension. Firstly, we are talking about the S200 and Russians operating it. The link you provided, is talking about the S300 and its supply to the Syrian military. How do they both correlate? Yes, The USSR/Russis supplied (and still supplies) air defense systems to Syria. But Russia at present do not operate those systems. Their scope covers the training of the Syrian crews and the sale of spare parts. Get your facts right!
hotwax:
Oya argue with this.

BruncleZuma:
Turkey shot down their planes and nothing happened.
Wrong bro. Something really happened. The Russians did not attack Turkey directly, because doing so would probably have escalated beyond Turkey and involved other NATO nations. However, they banned the importation of agricultural products from Turkey into the Russian market, imposed visa restriction on Turks visiting Russia for work or business and strongly advised Russians from going to Turkish resorts for summer holidays. These three measures caused a loss of over $2bn to the Turkish economy within 6 months. To resolve the dispute, the Turkish president formally apologized, compensation was paid to Russia for the downed aircraft and lives lost, and the Turkish Prime Minister (Binari Yildirim) who approved the hit was sacked from government.

At present, the Turks are firmly within Russia's orbit of influence evidenced by the sale of Russian S400 air defense systems to Turkey and the support by Turkey of Russia's position in Syria.

When dealing with a potential or actual enemy, not everything requires a direct response. There is something called "asymmetric response".

Moreso, you said "planes". It was one plane (SU24) that was shot down.
Foreign AffairsRe: Russian Military Plane With 14 On Board Disappears During Israeli Strikes On Syr by mach7(m): 2:11pm On Sep 18, 2018
The Soviet Union sold and installed the S200 air defense system in Syria during the early 1980s. The Russians at present do not operate the S200 system in Syria. They are operated by Syrian crews.
Reference:
....and who makes the missiles, instals them and operates Syrian air defence batteries....yes, Russia.
This was the event the founders of modern English expressions anticipated when they said, 'shooting oneself in the foot....'
Foreign AffairsRe: Russian Military Plane With 14 On Board Disappears During Israeli Strikes On Syr by mach7(m): 2:03pm On Sep 18, 2018
There is no military equipment tagged "SU300" operating in Syria. On the first point, perhaps you should read the article again, as Russian S400, S300V4 & Paintsir S2 Air Defense systems tracks and identifies, but DOES NOT ENGAGE foreign aircraft operating in Syrian airspace as long that those foreign aircraft do not attack Russian troops or facilities in Syria. So stating that the system is not intelligent enough is a moot point. Secondly, the MH17 civilian aircraft that was downed over Ukrainian airspace was "allegedly" shot down with a BUK missile complex and not your fictitious SU300. Get your facts right before posting publicly.
hotwax:
It shows SU300 is not intelligent enough to identify foe planes. That system will suffer from US spirit bomber.

Remember the same SU300 downed a civilian plane in Ukraine? Russian and Chinese technologies always fail.
TravelRe: Top 20 Busiest Airports In The World By Passenger Traffic by mach7(m): 2:01pm On Sep 12, 2018
This list helps cities that have just one major airport. For example, Moscow in Russia has 2 major airports being Shremetyevo and Domodedovo. Both have a combined passenger flow volume of 70.9 million passengers in 2017!

If Vnukovo airport (also in Moscow) is added, then we are inching towards the 90 million passenger mark.

My problem with these Nigerian Russia lovers, after ranting online, they go and pay hundreds of thousands of Naira, with manly hours at the US Embassy just to get a Visa to the USA.

My question has always been, why not go to Russia, you so much Love? Why US, UK and EU?
Just so you know, Russia has the second highest number of immigrants after the United States according to the International Migration Organization. Majority of its immigrants are from Post Soviet States, China, Southeast Asia and some South American countries.

That Nigerians or Africans don't rush enmasse there is simply because of their weather. Secondly, the opportunities there are usually highly skilled e.g English teachers unlike the US where available jobs are usually in shopping malls, stores, restaurants, nursing or taxi driving.

Calling people whose opinion differs from yours as 'Russia lovers' is rude.

Sarmat is very different from Yars or Topol-M. It is way too heavy to be transported on a TEL launcher truck because of the number of warheads (MIRVs) and decoys. Check it out on Wiki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-28_Sarmat

Foreign AffairsRe: Russia Test Fires SATAN TWO Ballistic Missile That Can Carry 12 Nuclear Warheads by mach7(m): 1:23pm On Oct 27, 2017
Explorers:
The Sarmat next generation intercontinental ballistic missile can 'beat any defences' and wipe out entire countries, according to Russia's military.

The weapon has been in the pipeline since 2009 and is now ready after several setbacks, with initial trials to be carried out before the end of the year.



It would be capable of delivering warheads of 40 megatons i.e 2,000 times as powerful as the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.




The RS-28 Sarmat 100-tonne also known as 'Satan 2' ballistic missile is pictured here at a Moscow Victory Day parade rehearsal earlier this year.
That is the RS-24 Yars bro. Sarmat is Silo based and not on mobile launchers.

Could you spot the difference between these two space shuttles? One is a Russian 'Buran' and the other is an American 'Discovery'...they are both crafts forged by two dialectically-opposed nations staking claims to world leadership. Get knowledge bro!
My brother FemiMaduka, I have been observing this thread without comment, but what you have posted here is wrong. The USSR did not directly copy the Space Shuttle. They created an entirely different launch vehicle which differs in usage and operations. What people are perhaps saying is that IVM should acknowledge the fact that it is an assembly company and not a manufacturing company. Notwithstanding the fact also that it has the potential to go into manufacturing vehicles once our economic climate is suitable for such. Here are some links on the Buran.
