Weird...

A female rapeller; when we already have female paratrooper/airborne soldier. I don't see any big deal in it.

Exactly the only thing that actually matters at the end of the day is results. The CH-5 is much more capable with a larger payload and longer endurance, probably carries more advanced and accurate missiles too.

This is very wrong. The only thing that matters is operational reliability. How long and how many times can it go on a mission, come back, again and come back .
A this for minimal maintenance and lower cost over the life cycle. These are the important things. A UAV might be capable and break down 95% of the time or is difficult to operate or drops signal many times and becomes hard to control, this won't be acceptable. We lost CH3 UAV once and many could not be operated. Has China solved the problems with CH5?

Even the most advanced systems fail, could also have been due to human error, Egypt, Pakistan UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and countless other countries now operate UCAV from the CH family of drones and not the YAhbon despite the fact it originates from that region, that doesn’t mean anything to you ? Is that not enough to prove it’s capable ?

I totally disagree with you on these two twins that most of the CH3 could not be operated and we lost one of them. I disagree with the fact that many of our CH3 UAV his non-operational.

We lost a CH3 at the height of BHT heat and at that time we just got them. Our UAV pilots where not properly trained and its a new hardware in our inventory; bokoharam had an upper hand at that time in bringing one down.

Secondly drones are high tech hardware, even the most advanced drones fail during operations , we've seen that in Iran, Syria and Iraq etc...

Even the Saudi Arabia was given license to produce the CH series was in 2017.

I was thinking she is part of the team. Rappelling itself can be done by anyone but being in a team carrying out an exercise raises the question "is she SF"?

Quick question. Does anyone know the operational number of our Dornier aircraft (Do-128 or 228??) & our Aw109 (NAF)

The Dornier 228; 5 in numbers.

Am not sure if all are air-worthy.

DO 128 should be retired or in storage now. Some DO 228 are operational. Nigeria should revamp all DO 228, the Germans might even do it for free

The NAF does that itself. Check the picture I posted, it was done by the NAF and a course mate whom I blurred his picture worked on it too as an intern student.

The lady reporter was the source of Trump's mistake. She erroneously referred to Super Tucano as an helicopter. Trump instead of correcting her error went on to brag about their "world best helicopter".

I don’t think any serious military equipment will be delivered to Abuja though, might be something else.
Still interesting
