A 100 yrs since development of the biggest force multiplier in tactical aviation -A2A refuelling!

1923, the U.S. Army undertook tests at Rockwell Field, San Diego, California, to test a more practical way to lower a hose from one airplane to refuel another in flight. In its tests, a DH-4B biplane outfitted as a tanker and equipped with a 50-foot (15-meter) length of hose and a quick-acting shutoff valve would fly above the receiver and lower the hose. The person in the rear seat of the receiver aircraft would grab the hose and connect it to the aircraft. If the hose became detached, the valve would immediately cut off the flow, preventing it from spraying fuel over the receiving aircraft and its pilot.

Johnny Brit further refined the system.

this method, the receiving aircraft trailed a long horizontal line with a grapnel at the end. The tanker trailed a weighted line and approached the receiver from behind and to one side. It then crossed to the other side, causing the two lines to cross and touch. The receiver aircraft then hauled in the lines and the hose from the tanker.

The thirsty jets of the US Strategic Air Command demanded faster A2A procedures and dedicated refuelling a/c.

Boeing Company began testing the "Boeing boom" system, consisting of a large-diameter pipe connected to the rear of a B-29 and fitted with small wings at the end. The boom was lowered and "flown" to a connector on the receiver aircraft. This allowed fuel transfers to take place at higher speeds and, more importantly, allowed more than six times as much fuel to flow per minute.

NOTHING has changed since then- the equipment and the process has been standardised globally. Refuelling UAVs a century frok now if hydrocarbon engines are still in use will likely use the same hoses and drogues as were developed decades ago.

Evidence to this jargons.

Thing is like a diss track

I was expecting some great write up + evidence

Check out this thread, highlights one of the big fallouts of drones in a warfare; using the russo-ukraine as analogy maybe tb2 wasn't bad but was good. The thread is by military defense segment of businessinsider.com; good analysis

Dropping details soon abit long but helpful to read

Sorry its long but please read and understand very well.

I did a research on Proforce in the past and even recently infact their group name is Olakleen. The way they owe salaries to staffs CRAZY. Not a single staff is collecting his/her salary ontime leaving them to loans and defaults to all their creditors up and down they have very little Expatriate and guess what they owe them months on salaries. I was forced to write this because one of their top Expatriate resigned recently and he was owed erroneously in months before leaving that was what necessitated his resignation and went back to his country with his Family. If you are a good man or woman avoid this company. They paint themselves so bright in the outside world but enter and get the worse experience of your lifetime. 13th month bonus is not paid until another year or months if they care. Staffs benefits and entitlements those ones are under their feet ages before they get paid. Pension that one matter they owe it steadily until you resign and begin send them mails like I do before they pay. Infact salary has no date(s). Debts Debts and Debts is what all the staffs is doing and they all default in repayment and when salaries are paid all goes to debts even unending debts thats recycling. Can you imagine I made investigation background and non has received salary till today for a proclaimed structured and standard company. Are Ijebus really like this generally because the owner is an Ijebu Man and I hear they are not always wishing well anyone around them? You dont wish anyone around you well you change their destiny and to leave sef na wahala. For once please pay your staffs on or before month end do it for 6months or 12months and see how well your company will grow massively. Let your staffs be happy and see if they wont specially be praying for you. WICKED MAN. Staffs in the company are seriously hungry and struggling. Can you imagine no salary being paid on time for years not once before the month ends. I made investigation of staffs even those that have left the company for time past and yet they say same thing salary is headache and yet this man travels round the world. The company just exhibited in Eurosatory in France spending thousands of dollars only to no profitable reward please why cant you shift that money to the welfare of your staffs? In the history of your company pay your staffs ontime not spending all the money on personal debts as they have families depending on them. You recently sent off some of your staffs alot of them dont wish to come back again because of your BAD WAY.

They dont even pay benefits due to staffs, pension payment that one we cant even go that level because they dont pay monthly yet they deduct from staffs and refuse to pay only when they feel like same with salaries. You can work months and not get paid and yet they paint themselves in pride to the world to see while the staffs are seriously living in debts everytime and every month and they have serious inflows into their accounts oooo but would rather not spend it paying salaries to staffs.

I am so angry and I heard he's one of the right man sons of Daddy GO of RCCG infact they do so much to Daddy GO but would neglect his own staffs thats called eye service and he's a Redeem Pastor

This is serious and very peculiar to most private companies in Nigeria.

Evidence to this jargons.

When you dont know something listen and read and then try to make findings. You can apply for a position with them, doctor your cv to tailor it to suite the post and then go for interview try to have contact with staffs and make further inquiry infact alot happen there. And mind you they dont permit phones, pictures etc inside their factory so when smuggling it be careful. These are things I made findings about before you come here and start saying "Evidence to this Jargons"

Mind you this same company dont pay staffs November and December salaries in those months these are months very critical to everyone. They usually and normally go home without a dime after hard work for the year couple with salaries unpaid.

Just recently Two of their key Expatriates left in Anger.

You made findings with no evidence to present except this long epistle

So this staffs have been working without pay for months and still continue to work for the sake of what Who works for a company without been paid for almost a year without speaking out? I know some won't but still you have no evidence to backup your claim.

Yet they kept working abeg this story no clear.

Why?

If this expatriates left because of salary issue I bet it would have made news headline, Proforce is not a chichi company man.

Yea at least it made headline even though it all false allegations with no proof.

Oyinbo that doesnt go out? only to shop and go back home right will have time to make such in news headline See ehnn a very good way same as I did apply for a position there infact doctor your cv towards a factory staff position welder etc and then go for interview and make your due diligence findings from staffs and get the experience or evidences you want. Alot of crazy things happen there to staffs welfare.

Odunayaw:
If this is true, Proforce is only harming itself

The rate of employment over and over for same position in the company is high that should give you a hint already why would you employ a position now and in same year you are hiring same position over and over again for how long? Why are the ones you employed recently leaving Simple answer Staff Welfare. Make your own investigation its easy to do tailor your cv to a post they always advertise often then make sure you do it to be called for interview with that you have entered already now make your investigations around and hear things no one will tell you to run for your life

Based on the post, I checked and found out that the Armed forces of Nigeria and The Philippines have things in common. Equipments in inventory and on order, problems of religious extremists, number of active personnels, almost the same military budget

Another nonsense, so the Philippines military that even have a more decent navy than Algeria is amongst the world's most weakest armies in the world and I can find North Korea and Africa's fourth most powerful military in this video and I can't stop to wonder what happened to the remaining 50 Africa countries and why are this countries not on the list eg (Central Africa republic)

The story no clear
