Even the 4th Generation F16 given to Ukraine by Russia didn't last a month in battle not to talk of these expensive outdated ornaments
Some of these hazardous things they are ordering left amd right, should be in museums and shrines. Antiqueted ornaments! All of them.

It is used by them to train their pilotes to fly real fighter jets. This is basically a toy. Just like the alpha jet, even civilians can but these trainers.

You buy weapons for your theatre of operations. Nigerias area of interest is West Africa and the Gulf of Guinea. It is not going to fight Russia or Brazil or China. If Russia tries to use the Sahel countries as proxy Nigeria will take them out. Nigeria easily has force dominance over its area of interest.

And by the way these planes are not relics. Nobody does dog fights any more. If I see you first, you are gone. It's down to Avionics and weapons systems not speed. And the M34 has powerful stand off Avionics. Even the Israelis use it. For deep penetration attack Nigeria has the J series.

No other country in West Africa can match Nigeria and that is the point.

Nigeria has no interest fighting SA or Egypt or Algeria in Africa. What for?
What we don't seem to take serious in this country, is how a war we have no interest in, can easily appear on our doorsteps overnight. We always think that because we are not belligerent, we are safe. That is very wrong. In fact, as we speak, we have a "state destabilising program" by some foreign powers going on in the North East, but we are too scared to admit it. Those who don't prepare for tomorrow, will ultimately suffer the consequences.

Do you know why it is taking the isrealis such a long time to attack Iran? Because in relative terms, the Iranians are sort of prepared to ward of immediate dangers, and canbcause reasonable harm to their adversaries.. Did you see how quick the isrealis attacked Gaza? Is it the same way that they're attacking Hezbollah? No! All boils down to the fact that these different groups have different capabilities.

See, the way you arm and prepare yourself in advance, can ward of potential aggressors if they feel you're going to be a hard nut to crack. So you can't afford to wait for a global war to erupt before you prepare for it. You prepare for any eventuality in advance. Nigeria needs a better trained army, better equipped and mobile army to survive. Nigeria has enormous hydrocarbon capabilities, the sharks will always circle around her, either directly or indirectly. And as long as your defences are wack, you are there for the taking..

You just wasted two minutes of your life giving Nigerian military a fantastic advice. I was surprised to find out they have drones they paid huge money for that is just taking pictures for magazines and collections. Nigerian military acting foolish to protect the terrorist and are using it to extract money from the Nigerian people or government and using it to waste away southern soldiers.

4th generation m346 and 4.5 generation JF 17 are not bad.

All these were ordered by Buhari let's wait and see what Tinubu will order

Also, I don't think it is ok for Nigeria to hurriedly move from alpha jet ( a 2nd generation jet) serving as major platform for more than 40 yrs to F35.

I think it takes gradual approach

With respect, you sound very uninformed. Do not conflate Nigeria inefficiencies with its army in a conventional war. Very few countries have their over the horizon capabilities. You need to educate yourself on the Nigerian armed forces than judging them by soldiers at bus stops and checkpoints.

Open conventional warfare, nobody wants it with Nigeria. But as I side Nigerias war doctrine is based on West Africa and the Gulf of Guinea. Sweden doctrine is based on a Russian invasion not war with China. You don't make up risks, you address reality.

Doctrine determines armaments.

From you have written you have absolutely no idea. Go to twitter and follow @defencenews and @beegeagle At least you will see videos of NA capabilities - abi the videos are doctored too😂

The same aircraft with slight addition for attack. This is a disgrace. By the way this is a copy of yak-130 from Russia.

Nigeria should be producing su27 under license instead of buying trainers.

Mali is already getting ahead of Nigeria.

fulanis always dumbing down anything they touch! this is what happens to you when you become a stooge of the western powers.............. The west does not desire a strong Black nation anywhere in the world! That is why they will appoint stooges and puppets like Buhari and Tinubu to oversee their real estate in Nigeria! Just look at the trainer jets these mumus are buying....go and compare these trash to what Algeria has!
Re: NAF New Jets: The Biggest Military Upgrade In Nigerian History by Skyjones7(m): 4:06pm On Oct 14, 2024
Countries that are less than a state in Nigeria are buying 5th generation jet fighter but Nigeria is going for 1st and 2nd generation aircraft that are advance kite in fighting modern war

There is no disgrace there

Italy and Russia jointly manufactured the jet

And later decided to produce it separately. That is part of technology transfer. It is common practice

The funny thing is the guy no sabi first and 2nd generation aircrafts.
1st-generation aircrafts were used in WW1 things like bi-planes.
2nd-3rd generation aircrafts were used in WW2 planes like spitfire, zeros, junker dive bombers (Junker 87 and 88), etc...

In a bit to rubbish the effort of the present government... They just buy data and spew nonsense...

Baba thanks for the lesson jaree...

It is true that Nigeria is back ward when it comes to modern military equipment

But this attempt Buhari made is not bad. You can't be using alpha jets for the past _40 years and suddenly jump to F35

More so, F 35 is only available to countries that have strong military ties with the US. It can't be sold to Nigeria
Re: NAF New Jets: The Biggest Military Upgrade In Nigerian History by tonyshine01: 5:56pm On Oct 14, 2024
How long will it take them to be delivered? Almost if not over a year since those platforms have been touted to come. Especially the replacement for the Alpha Jets the M-346 Jet.
We should be acquiring Jets like J-31, SU35 and Rafale or Jas-39.

Though the M-346 is a superb and formidable jet that can hold its own against an F-16.
