agaugust: I said on procurement, the F-16 was supposed to be their only frontline jet, the JF-17 came up because of USA sanctions and refusals on F-16 upgrade and massive sales inn large numbers. The Pakistani air force chief said that in the video. Are you deaf?
So you admit the only reason the Paki's are buying them is because the Americans wont sell them F16's
agaugust: LOL...25 to 40 JF-17 is the NAF decision, even your South African defenceweb knows that.....
"Nigeria, long targeted as a potential customer for the Chinese/Pakistani JF-17 Thunder jet, is close to ordering one or two squadrons , according to reports from Pakistan.
IHS Jane's Defence Weekly quoted a senior Pakistani Ministry of Defence official at the IDEAS 2014 exhibition in Pakistan as saying that Nigeria was close to signing a contract for the jets and that the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has finalised its recommendations for the acquisition of 25-40 aircraft . "
We will buy in batches....Defenceweb says NAF is ordering one or two squadrons for a start....go die of envy...
South Africa said it needed a squadron of heavy fighters when we bought the Gripen in 1998... did we get them?
All I know is that you bought 3 3rd Gen copys of the F16, a plane so sh1t that the people who make it dont even buy it
I also know Nigeria is a country which says "we buy dis, we buy dat" and end up with fokol.
agaugust: That web page was an error of language, and it's known to ALL intelligent people except a dullard like you....whitey dullard
PAC and PAF do not market it as 3rd gen, or how does a 3rd gen replace a 3.5 gen F-7, replace the F-16 procurement, and fight Indian 4th gen Tejas jet ? No 3rd gen jet uses fly by wire.....so you lose.
agaugust: You hear lies and hallucinations. SANDF Navy man Andrewza has told you and us many times repeated that NO AMPHIBIOUS BADGER for SANDF.
There is NOTHING in your weblink source that says SANDF is getting amphibious Badger, we have already seen the ones from Finland with the water propeller removed !
agaugust: IFV is IFV....wheeled or tracked....Russian IFV force is 99% tracked. IFV is NOT defined by wheels type, it's defined by armament and transport .
Fool of Soweto, does not know definition of IFV
A golf cart is a car, but would it make sense to compare a car and a golf cart?
You are comparing a heavy tracked IFV to a medium wheeled IFV - apples and oranges
agaugust: [s] Nope you fool, China has it's main IFV, and main armament of the ZBD97 is a dual-way stabilised, semi-automatic 100mm rifled gun / missile launcher, capable of firing both HE-FRAG rounds and the 3UBK10 ATGM....mixed weapons, the missile is turret fired you dummy !
agaugust: Show us the photo and prove SANDF is buying APC variant plus IFV, show us proof SANDF has changed it's ancient 100 year old doctrine to now buy amphibious armoured vehicles.....prove it you liar !
agaugust: Quote where it says 'MOST MODERN' ....it only says first to fire linkless ammunition on a SLOW RATE OF FIRE SLOW SNAIL 30mm cannon, the rest of the world don't care about link less ammo belt only you think you want it...your choice. .
"first in the world" = most modern
And not only we want it... Malaysia purchased it from us too!
agaugust: Your photos are showing land maps....LOL...Show us images of aircraft in live video via datalink....LOL....how will you see enemy jet when your Gripen has no OLS equipment ? Map is nothing but geographical paper, show us how your artillery will SEE the enemy ! SAAF has no OLS.
Nigerian ATR-42 actually sees real videos... live online real time...and sends the information via inbuilt data link to Central Command Center for forwarding to other platforms on land sea air . .
Dude, I posted a picture of what you see on the battle-feild managment system (which you dont have)
You cant transmitt your data onwards because you have no data link
agaugust: Nigeria has C2 and C5 command and control, so if our aircraft see anything, they communicate with CCC and the CCC relays the message to other platforms. Simple, but a fool like you won't know how 95% of the world's military fights war without tactical data link.
TDL is just faster because it does not go through CCC.....Command and Control Center.
Meanwhile, your Gripen and Hawk jets are getting sh.ot down by NAF JF-17 Thunder jets, your data link is blown to pieces before you use it.
agaugust: Your Gripen has obsolete 20 year old pulse doppler mechanical radar, Rafale has latest AESA electronic radar plus IRST and OLS which your Gripen does not have....how are they on par?
Fake fighter pilot, answer us with proof, how is Gripen C on Par with Rafale? .
