i suspect proforce to have been involved in this project as i assume the vehicle would be armored.

i'm seriously proud of our army for their innovative and local approch at modernizing the force.

This is evidence of the high standard of our military institutions.

Sorry the vehicle is not armoured. However, I believe that the army could have done better by contracting a company that is qualified to do the job.

and how did you come to that conclusion? TYPICAL. if ordinary communications vehicles are armored then what would make it hard to for a command vehicle not to?

better job as in how? have you had access to the systems and operated it to know this? you guys should stop behaving like some rettarded internet warriors.

the test by the president proves it as there was no technical problems. which was proof of a job well done.

so does everything need to be foreign to be considered better

You cannot know an armoured Toyota Landcruiser by looking at its photo. Many armoured cars owned by civilians drive around the streets of this world and look ordinary, until the owner tells you he bought it factory armoured on special order. Not all armoured cars and SUV look like an MRAP or APC.

This is how you South Africans start issues by posting your personal imaginary information about other African countries equipment to rubbish it directly or stylishly.

Now stop it dude. Stop posting what you have no iota of proof about.....and who told you no company was involved in the Eagle project, are you the Nigerian army chief of staff who knows what happens behind closed doors of Nigerian army?

JF-17 thunder flying with an IFR probe.

I'm really satisfied with the purchase of this plane by the NAF. It satisfies all NAF requirements and more, the block II is coming with a conformal fuel tank, so it's long range is now further extended.

25 Planes, 6 Trainer versions and 19 single seat versions would be simply perfect.

Best part is..... Countries like Nigeria can now fly good fighter planes that are not sanction prone.

Like i said previously, Kenya needs firepower, firepower wins wars. Terrorists do not fight like gentlemen. A couple 23mm's mounted on KDF armoured vehicles would be a significant up in ante.

Major General C.T Olukoju of Nigerian army as a Colonel 5 years ago.

He is the brain behind the Nigerian army Eagle battle space command post.

Maj.Gen Olukoju had to attend five different universities around the world to study before getting to his technical level as at 2011.

African militaries have men like this, he has won science and technology many awards from the government of Brazil.

THE SUN NEWSPAPERS
Abuja
Monday, Sept. 05, 2011.

"His commitment to study earned him the second in the order of merit. He won the Minister of Defence’s award.

Apart from this award, Olukoju was given awards by the Brazilian Government and the college for presenting the best paper in Science and Technology: “Nigerian Space Programme: Challenges and Prospects,” and would give a copy to the National Agency in charge of Space Development to study the recommendations to see how to enrich the nation’s space programmes."

Let African military officers continue to move Africa forward. Slow but steady.

Agree 100%. But i don't think it will happen, the SADF/SANDF are notoriously secretive regarding the full capability of their weapon systems, and for good reason, there have been several attempts from foreign parties to steel blueprints to missile systems,Rooivalk ect ect.

Just an example, the EW suit of the Cheetah is still classified till this day, even after being retired for almost 10 years.

Lastly if you look at the Video, its only filmed from the Pilots cockpit(the rear cockpit) and not the weapons operators cockpit, the Pilots HMD is turned off and the camera is set up in such a way that its only possible to see the basic flight data on the display.

1. It is in an un-armored vehicle

2. You do not have access to systems either

Engines are a problem though.

With 25 planes for a ~30 year life-span you are looking at 75 new engines and 200 engine rebuilds.

Engine rebuilds should not be a problem as with that many it is economical to train your guys to do it... and a rebuild should be realativly inexpensive since you simply take it apart and rebuild it.

But with regards to the engines... India just purchased 20 for $25 million. So assuming its around $1,2 mil per engine you are looking at $90 million over the next 30 years.

I would go for a smaller number of 12 as a "tip of the spear" and focus on getting a large number of secondary jets for the back-bone of the airforce. I think SAAF should have done the same - 12 Grip and 26 Hawks.
