All these your emphasis on dogfights makes you sound like an ordinary hoollywood fan. An airforce is not all about dogfights what is the essence of a supriority if you can't surpport the troops on ground.
Evading anti aircraft artillery in a airframe like the alpha jet while executing dive bombing to deliver "unguided munitions" to well camouflaged targets in the thick jungles of sierra leone isn't childs play

alpha jets have a limited payload and they are not adaptable to conventional warfare being too slow. A hand held javeline missile can take them out. The BRITS DONT EVEN USE THEM ANYMORE! Helicopter gunships like the Russian Hind will be more suitable.

Think A-10

GooseBaba: The picture proves that you are daft. That's why you keep introducing YouTube vids and making stupid prophesies.

It is already agreed and the time is set.

After the 2015 elections the opposition will not concede defeat. There will be widespread anarchy in the North and the SW. The SW will experince riots in urban areas and lootings. In the north muslim mobs will make rwanda look like a stroll in the park.
Repraisal attacks will occur in the SE, stoking much tension.

A middle-belt christian officer will stage a coup which will be widely condemned globally. In 4months a northern officer will over throw him. The SE massob will be empowered alongside MEND by the west and that will lead to secession bid.

War will break out in the middle belt buffer zone which the UN will declare the killing fields as Fulani Herdsmen and Boko Haram will be unleashed on indegene people and non-muslims residing in these areas. The military head of state will turn a blind eye and deny to the world that there isnt a genocide going only to arm them.

Do you want more...

Nigerian Army is the biggest bully on the block.

Here they are terrorizing civilians

GooseBaba: Yeah..! And your American military personnel were making music videos while their comrades were getting blown to bits...

It appears you just want to argue anyhow. Look at the background of the pic. It was a festive environment. Abi tear gas don fry your brain for booth camp.

come 2015 your soldeirs will come knocking on your door then you will be screaming for the likes of me to come help you.

Now you know why Nigerian civillians were targeted by the rebels by having their arms chopped off, all because of your gallant soldeirs

bumping more videos of ur gallant soldering

GooseBaba: It turns out you like Nigerian sh.IT. Since you have Sh..It for brain. Like I said before this thread is about Nigerian soldiers dancing. It got nothing to do with America you sewer rat...

dancing when their country is burning.

These are even officers and they are doing it public in full military regalia in a peace keeping mission.

They are supposed to be ambassadors as well.

hunter2,1:
without precision guided munitions and all the sophisticated technologies of your darling marine corp our boy were able the above despite the thick vegetation cover of sierria leone .
http://beegeagle./2012/08/30/ecomog-air-operations-during-the-liberian-civil-war-a-brief-overview/

they were targeting ground targets with minimal deterrents from the ground or air.
Even at that how do you verify that targets were actually taken out and what was the overall cost ratio in deploying air power over soft targets that could be overrun by well trained ground forces?

You cant know more than the guy who wrote the book on air combat.

hunter2,1:
Between September and
December 1990, the four Alpha
jets deployed by the NAF in
support of ECOMOG operations
in Liberia were equipped with
30mm cannons, 68mm High Explosive and Armour-Piercing
rockets. First Phase of Air Operations :
September – December 1990 * destruction of enemy
convoys retreating along the
Ricks Institute axis on 28th
and 30th October 1990
respectively * During the first few days,
Alpha Jets destroyed the NPFL
troops and supplies inbound to
Monrovia from Robertsfield
International Airport (RIA) * a significant mission was the
rocket attack on gun
emplacements at Robertsfield
International Airport by a
formation of three Alpha jets.
During this mission, one A-Jet sustained aslight damage by
anti-aircraft artillery (AAA or
triple-A as it is called by pilots) * At Kakata, rebel leader
Charles Taylor’s Headquarters
was also bombed forcing him
to move his HQ further north
to Gbanga * During the 3rd week of
November 1990, ships that
were offloading cargo were
sunk at Buchanan seaport
while ammunition dumps and
oil installations were destroyed. According to the then
Commander ECOMOG AIR
DETACHMENT(EAD), Group
Captain Gana “these missions
were so successful that Time
Magazine of 1 December 1990 wrote: ‘ The firepower of NAF
fighter aircraft has finally dealt
an incalculable blow to the
war effort of the NPFL leader’ Phase II of the Air Operations
(Jan to Sept 1992) On 15th October 1992, NPFL
rebels broke the Ceasefire
Agreement and launched an
offensive on Monrovia code-
name ‘Operation Octopus’
aimed at completely rooting out ECOMOG Forces from
Monrovia. According to the then Field
Commander, Maj General Tunji
Olurin, while reflecting on the
situation, observed with
satisfaction that ‘but for my
darling NAF,the situation in Liberia today would have been
different’. Phase III of Air Operations
Oct 1992 to July 1993 The ECOMOG Air Detachment
was redesignated ECOMOG AIR
TASK FORCE(EATF) with the
Task Force Commander now
directly responsible to the
ECOMOG Field Commander. The Beluga cluster, penetration
and general purpose bombs of
various sizes in addition to
existing rockets and cannons
was used to equip the Force
comprising six(6) Alpha Jets. Intelligence reports comfirmed
that the NPFL had acquired ZSU
Shilka self-propelled anti-
aircraft artillery, radar guided
rapid-fire machine guns and
short-range surface-to-air missiles. During the first week, 33 close
air support sorties were
launched using the area
advantage and the
overwhelming firepower of
the Beluga cluster bomb was generously employed to inflict
heavy casualties on the
enemy, beating back the
rebels at Caldwell,Somalia
Drive, Samuka
Junction,Gardnersville and Wood Camp. The NPFL trenches and gun
emplacements were fished out
and attacked with rockets at
Johnsonville and Mount Barclay
area. As the intensity of the air raids
increased, search and destroy
recce missions were sustained
to make life even more
unbearable for the rebels until
the capture of Robertsfield International Airport and
Kakata, with the roads from
Monrovia to Kakata and from
Monrovia to Harbel littered
with destroyed enemy trucks
and light vehicles which fell victim to NAF fighter jets on
recce missions. Initially, all Alpha Jet missions
were conducted in daylight.
The rebels later resorted
almost completely to nocturnal
activities causing unacceptable
casualties to ECOMOG troops, hence the need for A-Jets to
conduct some form of night
activity into the battle area in
order to check the NPFL
nocturnal confidence. The Alpha jet is not designed
for night attack roles as the
basic navigation equipment
onboard depends on
information from ground
stations which were not usually operated on 24-hour
basis. Nevertheless it was
decided to give night
operations a trial. Safe parameters and
procedures to govern night
weapon delivery on the A-jet
were established and this was
incorporated into NAF A-jet
recurrency programme and shortly after,a few of the
“most experienced fighter
pilots were cleared to
undertake night attack
missions. The first of these attacks was
at Caldwell base during the
battle for Monrovia. Also night
attacks were conducted at
Gardnersville and Samuka
Junction and vehicle convoys were also attacked at Harbel
and Gbanga, making life
unbearable for the rebels day
and night. The 70km advance to
Buchanan from Robertsfield
International Airport and its
eventual capture in April 1993
is reported by Group Captain
Gana to have presented most of tactical problems
encountered in a conventional
operation. The A-jets
prevented the NPFL not just
from placing huge obstacles
along the roads but also from blowing up the bridges en
route. One significant achievement of
the fighters in this advance
was the prevention of the
demolition of Saint Johns River
Bridge. This 100-meter long
bridge was observed from the air to have been loaded with
high explosives in preparation
for demolition on the night of
31 March 1993. The successful march to
Buchanan depended on the use
of this bridge,so the A-jets
quickly established a combat
air patrol(CAP) over it as early
as 0500hrs. All attempted movement towards the bridge
by rebels on the ground in a
bid to detonate the explosives
were promptly checked by
heavy cannon fire from the
fighters overhead until ECOMOG troops arrived and
crossed safely after the bridge
had been demined by NA
Engineers. Buchanan town was already
deserted by rebels before its
capture, due to A-jets raids on
their positions. A-jets interdiction missions in
this phase were designed to
interrupt Taylor’s sources of
revenue and war resources As such, bombing missions
were targeted on the
following installations: – Robertsfield International
Airport and other airfields at
Zwedru and Sanniquelle; – Buchanan, Greenville and
Harper seaports – Military installations and
ammunition dumps in Gbanga – Inbound vessels with
confirmed military cargo or
petroleum products – Notorious border posts along
the border with Cote D’Ivoire
particularly the one at
Loguatou. At the end of the interdiction
missions, 6 merchant ships
and several boats were
destroyed.NPFL military and
economic activities were
almost paralysed. It was time for Taylor to once again agree
to a ceasefire conference. These achievements were
fortunately without Air Force
casualty. The fighters flew
well over 1000 combat sorties
and the rebels could not bring
down one aircraft. However, some jets sustained
airframe damage from high
calibre machine guns but none
of the heat-seeking surface-to-
air missiles from the rebels
found its target.

Let me see NAF pilots earning their keep in dog fights in the air with other forces.

GooseBaba: Lol... That's your cop out from your yeye rants..! All the nonsense you claim on this thread cannot be verified. The ones that can be verified you come up with excuses. Nonsense boy like you... Abegii enter bush go boil stone.

what are you on about?

your military is still sh1t as your country.

GooseBaba: That means to say you brag about what your master with the greatest combat pilots did not accomplish in recent times. Therefore, you are making your fantasy your reality... Guy park well..!!

u made no sense

rabzy01: Stand Up To Christian Terrorists!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTQp3nzd6WE

dont give a phuck about muslims or christians either but i know islam is far worse

GooseBaba: While you are it ...Nigerian combat pilots cannot claim to be the best.. However, with all the military combat pilot of your master's air-force and army. Kindly name the most recent dog fight kill since the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan.

No dog fights because no one can contest.

you wont even get the opportunity to take off

rabzy01: Christian mothers suckled Adolf Hitler (Germany), Timothy Mcbey (USA) , Laurence Aneni (Nigeria) etc. Is there anything innocence when it comes to Christians?

muslims are the scum of the earth and will be used as fire fodder in hell

gsaint trinity: Fashola and nuhu ribadu for president 2015

shutup

Aliyeous: Nyc one jarus @findout u dy rili blast headache oh...hes sumwhat pointless n jst beating arnd d bush

how?

Find Out!:
Tinubu is among the first 5 on my list of most corrupt public officers ever. His case is especially interesting when one considers the fact that his corruption still continues despite leaving office 6 years ago. But then Fashola is nowhere near the top or even middle of my list and I know why he's not there....even though if I had a one-on-one session with Fashola, I'll probably tell him many things he wouldn't like to hear. "Guilty by Association" doesnt always apply in all situations. I have searched far and wide, and i am yet to see the slightest shred of credible evidence linking General Muhammadu Buhari Rtd. with corruption. If you find, please share. Babangida is in the Hall of Fame for corruption in Nigeria, even his children and grandchildren wil know?come to know that their Father/Grandfather is a legend.

Buhari headed the Ministry of Petreoluem under OBJ when the latter was head of state

Buhari remains for the record the only former head of state to serve under his junior , Abacha. The same Abacha who ganged up with IBB to topple him. Do you think Buhari took the PTF job to help serve the country? Never! The job was consolation from Abacha to him.

caye: I don't agree. The Nigerian Army are one of the best land armies in the world, where there is little modern 21st century equipment and the pay is frustrating;while the work (or war) environment is highly demanding. Kudos officers!

name one major conflict that they have been tested.

stop promoting this false myths.

that's how you guys claim that the Nigerian Air Force has the best pilots. duhh!

With just 5 operational outdated sub-sonic fighter aircrafts and not a single dog fight kill since inception from any of the 200 combat pilots currently in service, you get 0.4 aircrafts to every fighter pilot.

nigga please

@find out:

what about Tinibu? arguebly tinibu is the most corrupt politician after obasonjo.

why do you choose to choose your trials?

if u r against corruption, then the likes of tinibu, fashola, buhari and babangida will be on your top list.

Toktee: guy why u d fumble na,he "associate with tinubu,nd tinubu paid his bills"but u claimed that ribadu is so rich dat he has choice properties in dubai,pls provide the proof or just keep quiet pls

it is one thing to buy properties in dubai and a totally different thing to run a campaign machinery in Nigeria where money and politics go hand in hand. why do you think Buhari is merging with tinibu? The general is broke from successive failure at the polls.

You can paint him as pure snow white but some of us can never be fooled.

Ribadu was a corrupt policeman before he became EFCC boss. Ribadu not only misappropriated EFCC funds through awards of shady contracts and shoddy investigation and trial funds but he also appropriated seized properties from suspects to himself and associates.

LT SHANGY: And the C.O.A.S is??

The COAS is not in the field leading muslim soldeirs to kill muslim jihadists.

owolabifunke14: Are you a human? Please don't say this kind of thing again,innocent kids and mothers are dying out there.

there is nothing like innocece when it comes to muslims.

a muslim mother suckled shekau and yusuf mohammed and even osama bin dead laden

Yususf was once a baby and so also shekau.

let them kill themselves

Find Out!:
OK, I edited my post and added more after you quoted it but even in what you quoted, I made it clear that Ribadu is not perfect, but he presided over an agency that was very effective during his time. Dude, people were actually scared of this man, from yahoo boys in the cyber cafe to state Governors controling billions of naira! He did not do everythn right but dude, forget, he was a SUCCESS. And that is why when he lost the elections in 2011 to Goodluck Jonathan (that GEJ won 2011 elections is something our children will struggle to understand in future when they read about the profiles of all 3 candidates), he had a ready job waiting for him. I can bet you anywhwere that if not now, but definitely after GEJ leaves office, Nuhu Ribadu will command more respect than Mr President in local and international cirles...in circles where achievements in public office and not promises, is used as the yardstick for giving props to people.

He was OBJ's attack dog. Nobody was sacred of him but the power behind him which was OBJ.

His level of insolence was so high that he stepped on some big toes in his primary appointment office i.e. the Nigerian Police.

Ribadu during OBJ was no different from al Mustapha during Abacha. A highly insubordinate officer who OBJ broke all protocols with.

You Nigerians are highly vindictive people who expect leadership to operate on a fiat level and suppress those you feel are better than you. I say better off because , if you were in position you would have acted far worse.

This is why you crave the likes of Buhari and Ribadu because you need a village square prosecutor to condemn your perceived enemy and witch to be executed by fire burning.

which sad news?

let the Muslims kill themselves

The state of OSUN according to Rauf

It would be quite ideal and infact, necessary to question your sanity if you CANNOT provide proof of the so called Dubai properties. I am yet to see any public office holder in Nigeria who will return/report a whooping 15million dollars bribe money. It is just so sad that in Nigeria, it is those people who have served the country selflessy and still live quite modestly clearly enough for all to see, that we villify; while we celebrate the thieves in our midst. These thieves even enjoy the support of those who do not benefit from their loot! It's absurd.
Ribadu, like Buhari, Jakande, Fashola, Lamido, Akunyili, e.t.c. are not perfect, but there is no doubt that if we have leaders in the mould of these people, then we can begin to have some hope for Nigeria. Instead we sit here hailing bonafide crooks like Tinubu, OBJ and Goodluck Jonathan. Rubbish.

To you he is a saint now. But this same Ribadu came out publicly to declare Tinibu as one of the most corrupt politicians in Nigeria.

Today, Tinibu foots the bill and as such he (ribadu) is all good.

Finally, my sanity is intact it is you level of judgement and conclusion that made you arrive at a messiah status for a man whose career path started with the most corrupt institution in the world even for Nigerian standards - The Nigerian Police.

iamdsam: People discriminating them here are not humans. They're from another planet... Aliens *God Bless Nigeria*

keep smiling and dancing and suffering.

Every institution in this country has gone to the dogs. The military is rotten to the core.
From my personal experience working with the military I can tell you authoritatively that there are some army officers who shy from given commands to NCOs from a certain religious and sectional background for fear of outright disobedience.

I know this. The Nigerian Military is dominated by northern mulsims and the NCOs from this segment make it clear that they wont take orders from a kaffir.

You have serious problems brewing.

This same Ameachi that got sworn in as a governor for his first term over an election he never contested
