LTGEN: Yes it looks like a BMP Tracked version. It appears from Military Sources NA got some APCs quietly From whom ? From where ? Sad News : An NA convoy got ambushed according to @human angle
these ACP's are from Turkey I can't remember the name now but I visited one during my offr CDT training in Jaji
jl115: Bro NAF a109s don't have missiles..... And a109s are not AHs they are transports..... Just like mi17s and Oryxs which in the past have also been armed with Missiles and rockets, they are still transports since that's what they were designed for
Just because they might be used in a secondary role for attacking enemy positions, that still doesn't make them AHs
simple put they are multirole helicopters which can be configured to suit which ever mission it's assigned to. E.g the American black hawks have been seen acting in fire support roles when the need arises.
JustMe407: Dear nairalanders, I need you honest advice on what to do. I am still a young man and any mistake now will have a grave effect on my future. So please, help a brother. Be objective and consise please. It is a long narrative. I have a girlfriend whom I have been dating for up to 10 months now. She has all the qualities of wife, friend and a partner. I mean, she prays for me, supports me and do many things that places her above average.
I've two issues that are bugging me; First is, I just graduated from the University and started to follow the road map I designed for my life. I am hardworking, so I started doing business immediately after my defense. Interstate exports of perishables. While I was in school, I made a lot of money doing designs for students; I am a UI/UX designer. The problem here is that I can't account for all those monies I made. A lot of expenses especially for my girlfriend. Even till now, I am supposed to send her some money but will I continue like this? I need stability in my business and need to save more and need capital for the last mile logistics company I want to set up next year.
Second issue is; I recently returned from an event I attended in Lagos some days ago, I came back very late and was grossly tired. While we were chatting, she asked me some questions which I told her I was very tired and eventually, I slept off. My phone beside me till the next morning. Fast forward to yesterday, I told her of my intentions to concentrate more in building for the future - it doesn't mean our relationship would be off. She started asking questions like "do you need some space?" "Am I bugging you?" She also said I don't "speak her language enough" language here is bonding, intimacy and closure. I was surprised at her response. I noticed she'd be online for a long time and won't reply me on time, so I asked her who she was chatting with and she replied someone. I ignored her. This morning she called, while we got talking I asked her about the person she was chatting with. She told me the guys name. And asked if I will forgive her of anything, I said yes. She now said, she was introduced to the guy and they got flirting from the day I came back from my journey and told her I was tired and needed to rest. Her excuse was that, I pushed her to and she just wanted someone to speak/talk to.
Now, my question is, Should I move on with my business and focus, or, should I continue with the relationship? I don't want to be with someone that gives up on me easily. P.S I love her so much. And she does too. We've through a lot together. Please moderators, help move this to front page for more contributions.
funny thing is you know what to do but I'm guessing love has blinded you...SMH where tf! are your balls ma man?? Act like a man and do what has to be done, you see that truth you're trying very hard to ignore? E dey front dey wait you. Cheers
claremont: Passed an airborne jump course, this is what it signifies in all armies around the world. I wouldn't think it will be different in the NAF. Maroon beret is the traditional colour of airborne troops who have done the necessary jumps to get their wings.
maroon beret is worn by NAF special forces (NAF panthers)
jln115: 1. Anybody can do a simple Google search and find the exact price countries have paid for either the mi 28 or mi 35.......and if you did your research you'll find that the mi 35 is alot cheaper.
2. Mi 35 entered service in 1972.....the mi 28 entered service in 2009.....how can countries reject the mi 28 when it was never in production?? Also the Mi 28 was only due to go into production in the early 90s.....20 years after the mi 35.
3. What sources?? Just go look at what for example Algeria paid for their mi 35 vs what they paid for their mi 28.....youll find that the mi 35 is a lot cheaper.
4. The Mi35M uses NVG and GPS for navigation..... It does not have radar.
5. Fair enough I'll concede this point.
6. How you can say this with a straight face is beyond me.....
7. Do you know what FLIR is?? Its simply a infrared camera..... How is a camera going to distinguish between friend and foe??
8. Do you know what an HMD is.... And how it works?
9. Source?
The rest is not worth a response.
bro you even get time dey follow the guy talk I envy your patience.
[quote author=Chelseafan99 post=83878783]Ghana, with far lesser resources seems to have a much more modern army than the Nigerian Army. Before the insults starts raining down, dont deceive yourself. Those weapons in this video cannot be found in the Nigerian army. The Ratel Vehicles they use doubles as a Tank killer and self propelled artillery gun.
pacretus: whatever, your arguments here are boring. Post pictures and move on. That's how the thread managed to survive until now. I'm not just referring to you but to all the New guys here. Cut down the arguments, cheap in a little and f*** off.
I guess you think Naf wasn t aware of such before going for the birds. US has givem us some donations ranging from ships to amoured vehicles did they tell you were to sail or drive them.
pacretus: please you guys should take your over sabi and ITK to a different thread. Nothing you discuss that hasn't been discussed in the past. It's like teaching a primary 5 pupils how to read alphabet A-Z. We are paying for full package for the A29. Check how much we ar paying for them And let's see if you still have something to SYH over.
Oga smarth a** those sharks sell their weapons and tell you how & when to use it. You prove stubborn and they'd be waiting at the maintenance tunnel.
SuperSixSeven: Just think about the A29s that are going to come from the US. the contract includes ground training devices, mission planning and debrief systems, spares, ground support equipment, alternate mission equipment, contractor support and weapon systems. It is the standard to do contracts in that way or would anyone buy a brand new BMW without a warranty?
This guy SMH let us wait for them na, you do know we were going to buy directly from Brazil but that sale was blocked by the U.S , hope you know that? And I hope you know why too?
SuperSixSeven: They do sell to everyone that pays cash. How do dodgy countries like Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan got their fancy weapons from? We simply didnt pay for the Jaguars Maintance and Support contract . Ironically we have tob lame our military dictators and leadership in the 80s for that. They filled their pockets, staved our military to death and got elected as democratic leaders 2 decades later. We never learn our lessons.
Bros the west will never give you the full package I know this because I have interacted with people involved in procurement of these hardwares, do you want to know the reason why we started looking inward to develop our own drones?
explosiveskull: Nigeria has a lot of arrays of attack helicopters to choose from apart from mi35 and mi28 Bell AH-1 SuperCobra Eurocopter Tiger AH-64 Apache Denel Rooivalk A129 Mangusta. Ka-50 "Black Shark" Ka-52 "Alligator
The West doesn't sell the complete package when you purchase from them, the jaguars we got in the 80's are a good example and I'm sure we've learnt. The East and Asia are by far better dealers
WARTHUNDER: Someone said dis b4 but I didnt reply cuz I avoid endless arguments. Rival in what way?
My bruz, no weapon on Mi-28 dat Mi-35M cannot carry. Mi-35M armour is superior to Mi-28 armour. People have wrong ideas dat Mi-28 is better, no, not latest type NAF dozen Mi-35M Hind E with the most advanced Russian avionics ever.
Russia rivals Apache with Mi-35, if you ask them for combat helicopter sale, Russia will market Mi-35 to you. Apart from the maker, only 2 countries bought Mi-28, while 20 countries bought Apache and 80 countries bought Mi-24/35. That shows you the real two rivals according to judgement by air forces worldwide, not according to we civilians' judgement nah
