daresma93:
shey na dis kind jet wan flush out 5000 fighters.nigeria air force are dreaming somebody please wake them up

saintjoel:
The NAF already has 12 J7 and 2 F7 aircrafts in their inventory,check the analysis in my posts.I feel the problem we should all agree on is updating the planes they have in stock and making sure we've the right people in charge,the rot in the military didn't just start today,it has been there since the 70s.

That's my exact points, upgrade d planes.

Agreement was reached between SA and Nigeria in cape town on Tuesday,the money will be released anytime from now....

jonuel1:
O! Now u know it is outdated shey? When South Africa seized the money ment for arms purchase, you and many Nigerians shouted it serves our leaders right and now u are saying "it is outdated".

If the activities of boko had reached you or any of your loved ones that they either died or are left mutilated, you would have known better.

LilPeezy:
dey dere make pant dey wear u na.....

Don't even bother to point it out cos I don't do pant #teamboxer

Mcbussy:
Puhahahaha ....ayaf die

I just laugh when I see these outdated aircrafts.

Well,even if nah for d pilot to dey throw grenade from up,nah something.

That Jet is not outdated in design or potential , however it needs up to date avionics suite, armaments and a modern deployment plan.

An overhaul maybe and we need more of them, at least 50 - 80 aircraft.

Ur figures are wrong Even Isil has only 30000 fighters
Bh&Ansaru incluse have a strenght of 9000

Nigeria can upgrade its c130 in garage into

Mr Ibnsultan,I hope you can hear yourself talking,if they didn't use it has a trainer,are you telling me that the pilots just woke up one day,jumped into the cockpits and started to fly an F22.Please,stop comparing Nigeria to America,can Nigeria afford 150M dollars for a single aircraft,I'm so sure your types will be the first set of people to accuse them of corruption (no offence) and for your info,the F22 has been in existence since 90s and it was also introduced to the airforce in 2005 but like other planes,it also has a long list of crashes,even lockheed stopped producing them around 2011.

"The high cost of the aircraft, a lack of clear air-to-air missions due to delays in Russian and Chinese fighter programs, a ban on exports, and development of the more versatile and lower cost F-35 led to the end of F-22 production.[N 1] A final procurement tally of 187 operational production aircraft was established in 2009 and the last F-22 was delivered to the USAF in 2012."

*still waiting 2 see the new birds 4 naf
* troops still move in Ford pickups in volatile areas,lack of trust in Abuja by troops
* I still salute the men in the field but more can be done if Abuja is sincere

So we even get Officers on Nairaland, Ok bros, I go deliver your message give Bros Jo-lantern and I know he will talk to the COAS so that our boys/brothers will beat Boko boys to the lowest low.....#seun, copy the post for me....

Sir,only 47 have been built by U.S and it's been in existence since 1960s,the cheapest C130 will cost 132.5M dollars and unllike the NAF C130 that has been configured with airframes to carry troops and equipment,this have special airframes and even America is the sole user of this aircraft and it's not as if I've been trying to rubbish your posts but tell me one African country that can afford this aircrafts or modify an existing on at 132.4M dollars.

This explains why that pilot was shot dwn coz d figther jet is damm 2 small we need more and advance figther jets not dis dodo type of plane anyways kudo boys and -̶̯͡»̶̥✽̸̨̨̤̥̈̊͡ᵐ̲ʸ̲ heart goz out 2 d brave airforce fightert rest in peace

diperdee:
I pity this my country call Nigeria,am here base in asia:philippines,Look at the nigeria jet fighter Like china made toy,.when ordinary countries in asia were aquiring F-16 and others,this thieves generals in the army with their civilian colleagues will award themselves the contract and buy outdated furnished not even 2nd hand ,i will call it 10th hand , 2nd world war fighter jet,oh i really pity myself and the whole Nigerians tax payers.

Bros, for where Philippines dey, Somalia get level....#Seun, copy the post and suspend this guy for 10 straight years #Shikena, If the guy appeal, Add another 10 straight years join.

Mcbussy:
Guy shut d f*ck up....even if a 1970s model aircraft gets upgraded, so u feel its the ones naija has acquired since 1980s that would be upgraded?....as if aircrafts get OTA updates like android OS.

US has been striking ISIL with F15 strike eagles, apache helicopters and AC130 gunships for months,yet we haven't heard of 1 crash. Naija attempted to do dsame with boko for just 2 days and a plane went missing. I bet that's ur proof that the planes are upgraded to modern standards.

the f15 has been in service since since 1976 so I guess it should be outdated too by your standards. I guess u live on planet mass if not u shud kno dat Nigeria has been carrying out airstrikes on boko targets since 2009 dats five years and not "two days" and no fighter jet in d world is crash/missile proof. none exists. By d way I wonder what people like you gain from bad mouthing our armed forces. And yes fighter jets have upgrades... the radar system... the pilot vision on targets.... ejection systems communications systems... weapon payloads all these get upgraded because they ave softwares... so compare it to android OS if you like.

Frankenstein:
We need drones! Top-notch drones with powerful missiles that can conduct surgical strikes against the terrorists.

Lolz. dude, u got me laughing. quit hyping drones. they're just remote-controlled aircraft and they're much more prone to causing collateral damage than manned fighter jets. go and read up about the on-going US drone strikes in Afghanistan

cirmuell:
slowpoke, how sure are you that this is what's being used? And u called an Alpha jet a toy? mtcheew

why answering those slow pokes,they know nothing about the military.

Thank you, tell the buffon

PapiWata:
To those armchair fighter pilots who are not happy with the aircraft used by the Nigerian military, please report to the Sambisa battle-front with your well-sharpened machete, immediately. We need boots on the ground there NOW, and there is no better warrior than someone with vast experience watching war movies, while cultivating a fat beer-gut in the safety of home.

Machete Brigade AttennnnnnnnnnSHUN. Advance and attack the enemy at will. May God be with you.

i support you on this one

Keneking:
How many bombs can this toy carry?
Where is the bomb loaded? I can't see any thing in this picture. This one can't even be used to siphon cash. It looks like a parade toy. You simply use a remote or joystick to manipulate its movement above the terra firma

what a critics you are... let me leave u sha

how did you know?

I would love to tell u. But am not authorize.
Source is classified. Bh has lots of offshoot. Groups like Ansaru,yusuffiya with different modus operandi. Each contributing 000's of fighters to the Umbrella Group BH
Hundreds of Foreign fighters from Niger,Chad,cameroun,sudan,libya,car making up the ranks

Ibnsultan:
sure but the will need jets for fast fire support to troops in combats. We could still modify some of our abandoned c130 in ilorin(last time I saw them) to carry heavy MG
Mrn

yea, then we can now call them AC130 like the US did to theirs ATTACK and CARGO aircraft

Nigeria shouldn't go for arm drone now. But cheap realible survaillance drones from
China
Iran would help
