IbnSultaan:The jf-17 is decent, but relatively untested, has single engine and does not really have the endurance for long range strikes and total air coverage of a country of Nigeria's size without needing to refuel. Anything worth doing is worth doing well. Go for the the SU-30. |
| Re: Fighter Plane Suggestion For Nigeria Airforce by BishopMagic: 11:36pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
IbnSultaan:And how do you intend to pay for these toys? |
| Re: Fighter Plane Suggestion For Nigeria Airforce by CSTR2: 11:37pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
IbnSultaan:Now this is the beast right here. There is no reason why Nigeria should not possess by far the largest number of su-30s in the continent. The need is obvious. |

CSTR2:su30 is expensive to maintain su27 upgraded version has almost similar capabilities the Russians are also adding up with it |

CSTR2:The need of bombing Niger Delta communities that protest marginalisation and degradation of their community and environment abi? |

CSTR2:I tell you my brother!,we need leaders! |
| Re: Fighter Plane Suggestion For Nigeria Airforce by CSTR2: 11:49pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
BishopMagic:oh well. I have no arguments really. It is more of the devil and the deep blue sea. The niger-delta is a sitting duck for any foreign military incursion. Nigeria's most critical infrastructures are based in the niger-delta. |
| Re: Fighter Plane Suggestion For Nigeria Airforce by BishopMagic: 11:51pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
CSTR2:So it is meant to protect Nigerian territorial borders and the Niger Delta n people just as your Nigerian govt sold Bakassi to France? |
| Re: Fighter Plane Suggestion For Nigeria Airforce by CSTR2: 11:53pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
IbnSultaan:The maintainance cost of the SU-30 is a direct consequence of its sophistication. If Nigeria shy away from birds with high cost of maintainance, then forget 4G and forget the 21st century. Btw, i don't buy that upgraded Bullshitt. Get the real thing and be done with it. |
| Re: Fighter Plane Suggestion For Nigeria Airforce by EVarn(m): 11:56pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
CSTR2:exactly what I thought.Let us scrap any plans to procure jf-17s,we should go for the russian yak-130 advanced trainer/ground attack aircraft; though relatively untested,the capabilities featured in the yak-130 can give any f16 a run for its money,the yak-130 is like a combination of an f16 and a jaguar,well suited for off-radar deep penetration,ground attack and surgical strikes. |
| Re: Fighter Plane Suggestion For Nigeria Airforce by CSTR2: 12:02am On Aug 24, 2015 |
EVarn:yak-130 is subsonic. The f-16 would eat it alive. |
| Re: Fighter Plane Suggestion For Nigeria Airforce by EVarn(m): 12:02am On Aug 24, 2015 |
CSTR2:Currently,Nigeria has no airforce. Until we have a fleet of not less than 150 advanced air superiority and ground attack aircrafts along with at least 10 advanced AWACS,then we should not even speak of being the "giant of africa". |
| Re: Fighter Plane Suggestion For Nigeria Airforce by BishopMagic: 12:10am On Aug 24, 2015 |
EVarn:And why do we need all these toys? Our only problem is radical Islamic groups like ISWAP that do not have any air capabilities. Even if we buy all the best fighter jets we can never match the capabilities of those nations that we bought from. All we need is helicopter gunships, air transporters like C130 and subsonic air to ground fighter jets. |
| Re: Fighter Plane Suggestion For Nigeria Airforce by EVarn(m): 12:22am On Aug 24, 2015 |
CSTR2:Perhaps.for such a tiny aircraft,the yak-130 can carry a large number of weapons,its endurance can also be boosted for long range strikes. http://theweek.com/articles/559441/tiny-russian-plane-ridiculous-number-weapons |
| Re: Fighter Plane Suggestion For Nigeria Airforce by BishopMagic: 12:36am On Aug 24, 2015 |
EVarn:You think procuring fighter jets is like going to the toy market? Diplomatic and Military ties determine to a large extent which jet to procure. The Nigerian Airforce has strong ties to the British RAF while the Navy enjoys collaboration with that of the US navy and the army has close links to Pakistan. All these put restrictions on what and who you can buy from. |
