A typical illiterate. Rather than address the question, they resort to insults.

Swin or Swine? Please, have you registered for your UTME? This is one of the reasons why we keep referring to Ijaws as illiterates

See this he-goat

Asawana!

First time I am seeing a Nigerian airframe emit flares

SupremeCourt:
NAF has settled for 2019 budget procurement of new advanced trainer jet l-39 ng next generation. The new jet has guiding laser bomb and air to air missiles unlike old l-39 ordinary non-guiding weapons. NAF will mix total conversions and fully brand new, the body will be new mixed with old engine for conversion, while new ones will be fully new to be delivered 2020-2022. Senegal saw NAF alpha jet actions in Gambia and decided to compete, Senegal is building new powerful air force with same l-39 ng and will join NAF in West Africa flying this new jet. For NAF this may kill yak-130 trainer option, since l-39 ng next generation is very advanced for lead in 4th gen and 5th gen trainer/light attack jet. As soon as 2019 budget NAF allocation is paid out, NAF is paying for this jet confirmed.

Wipe that ridiculous mentality from your psyche, Israel is a mere geographical location, nothing "holy" about it.

Stop promoting zionist propaganda.

Let it begin
Asawana

krattoss:
with one down, how many is left in the inventory.?

Stephandeswardt:
The helicopter was shot down....i think one of the pilots was a member of 58RC, how it was shot down i dont know yet, this is what i could get from his coursemate and no, i wont tell you his name, though it starts with a K

jakeporeshenko:
Wow! this is very sad indeed, what type of helicopter ?

jakeporeshenko:
This is a very sad way to start the year, i seriously hope the pilots are rescued if they survived the crash.

The role of the Nigerian Air Force In this war cannot be overlooked! these angels in the sky providing CAS for troops on the ground are the only element of this war Boko boys fear, I have resisted temptation in the past but I have to admit it, NAF is the only reason Boko boys no longer contest territory with NA, Boko boys even time response from NAF, that is why all their attack look like hit and run! What do you think they are running from ? It’s the overwhelming fire power from above! Even when they capture a town they don’t stay for more than 12hrs because of heavy casualties inflicted by NAF and eventually NA sends reinforcements.

What happens if these terrorist eventually get their hands on MANPADS ? From Libya, chad, Sudan or Yemen ? What then ?!

Anyways I’m just ranting what do I know.

Odunayaw:
If this close air support is tied down to "helping them win in their own base!", how many aircrafts will be left for other duties like supply, recon and for those that should actually be fighting forward

Odunayaw:
While ON THE OFFENSIVE!

Or don't you know, BH probe, flee when the Air calvary arrives and returns to fight as soon as they are gone?

Odunayaw:
How many FOB's are scattered everywhere, some FOBs are about 200km from the closest "big base"

Imagine the cost in fuel and spares "Supporting" everyone everywhere.

Its a goddamn infantry war

Henry240:
There's a fundamental problem with always asking for air support during every BHT attack. It gives an impression that we have a very capable Air Force.

Let us look at why constantly looking out for Air Support in a Nigerian context is not the right route to take.

Although the Nigerian Air Force has been supplemented with nearly 70 aircrafts in the last 6 years, we have to realise that this number is still very small and relative.

We cannot fight like the Americans who always have air support, in fact the doctrine of air superiority is primarily the method with which American ground troops conduct operations. They can do this because the US Army is built from the ground up that way, if troops can't get air support they do not advance to any objective.

In Nigeria's case, it's not the same, we are limited by resources. Even those resources are stretched to the limit. The Air Force is in the Northeast, Zamfara, Kaduna state, Jos and the Niger-Delta.

These aircrafts have down time and cannot be available all year round.

That's why strategy, planning, leadership and discipline for ground troops have to be top notch.

joshingjosh:
Or even at Least 10 Chinook helicopter self

daveP:
Youre so funny. Craft usage version is my angle. Besides did you pay attention at the display in your comment? come off it pls.


Modern wartech is not a respecter of older versions but they aren't obsolete. But more susceptible.

Alzirida:
U are sick in ur skull.
U cant read simple grammar.

daveP:
Oga what is your point now? There was safe ejection and the chute worked. We both know that these f7s looks good to the eyes but are a big reflection of our aerial weakness in any kind of aerial threat to this country. There is no plane or craft that isn't vulnerable to crashing.

daveP:
You might be his friend but F7 is now child play craft. something that should be used to train newbies is what you're hyping. so. much for our military prowess. Trump. was all smiles and sarcastic when bubu said he needs crafts. Old craft looking like better thing only to naija.


F16 is the deal and even during war, F35 is used instead. see the distance of versions.


Why didn't the trackroom give the report?


The ejection happened but I'm very sure the chute didn't come out. so....

Frankicent:
hmmm if he's good how come he crash and only ni died

Alzirida:
RIP

Yesterday F35 crashed in USA, the pilot quickly ejected and was unhurt.
We need more training for our men.
We owe our freedom to their bravely

LTGEN:
I rarely respond to ignorant posts about NAF AND Accidents
The UK DEFENCE JOURNAL has just announced that the ultra modern 5th GEN F35B has just witnessed its first accident
the pilot ejected in SOUTH CAROLINA , USA no reports on his status. We pray for him him just like we pray for all NAF Pilots and we wait for a full investigation before we speculate ...... because it is the sensible thing to do. I love this boss tell them o! Bunch of illitrates!!!!

bidexiii:
So tell me what is it used for by the NAF

Field0Marshall:
In case of a crash, do they equip this pilot with small arms to defend themselves ? Pls.

jakeporeshenko:
“KDF has purchased eight Fennec light attack helicopters from UAE.”
