They would just resort to suicide bombings

No be high-tech war be this

Xbee007:
True talk, right now NA should begin preparing for an increase in ISWAP use of VBIEDs.

BabaOwen:
Two pilots and three crew members of the Nigerian Air force who recently died in the recent Nigerian Air force mi-35m helicopter air crash were buried today in Abuja.

President Buhari has given reasons why he has not changed the service chiefs.
Buhari in an interview on Arise TV Monday night said that “the head has to be very careful on removal of the service chiefs because you don’t know the ambition of the ones coming up.”

During the live interview, he was heard saying that
“He didn’t know them on a personal basis, I followed records and thought I picked the best then, of course, their performance may be disappointing but I accept responsibility for not changing them. My reason is based on my own experience.”

On a serious note, we should get some Attack Helicopters with coaxial rotors, like KA-52.

BabaOwen:
It seems some stupid people on this thread has totally refuse to have sense. well, you can lament as long as you want nah una sabi... I will keep on pasting every news concerning the Nigeria military on this thread backed with the source.

God bless the FRN

jakeporeshenko:
Why do we need an attack heli with coaxial rotors ?

By the way Egypt got KA-52 almost 2 years ago now and they are still finding it difficult to gain operational status.

Odunayaw:
God rest their souls


NA, look at how to honor men.

Odunayaw:
Infact I wanted asking @CaptainStephen & allexpensive if the insurgents still use VBIEDs pre-assault

Those bad things were crazy in 2016. I just imagine the Armed Forces releasing a ISR video of any of these battles. It could go a long way

It's my own opinion, I might be wrong

Left for me I would prefer the T129 ATAK

I thought that flag is usually given to the relatives of deceased Military personnel during Burial, that was handed over to the COAS

That's true the Egyptian airforce are still struggling with it the KA-52, in fact instead ordering more of KA-52 they went for more of AH-64 Apache early Nov last year.

I think the problem is not with the attack helicopter itself , it's the limited technical know-how of the EA. They still have to train and master these hardware it's new in there inventory. Even the western/European hardware comes with there problems and little setbacks. These same KA-52 is giving ISIS a bloody nose and tough time in syria, the question is how come the Egyptians are finding it difficult to operate

It's my own opinion, I might be wrong

The Mi-28, Mi-35m and Ka-52 are the most capable platforms in the Russian military for targeting and conducting self-generated precision attacks, whether ATGMs, cannon or rockets. Both also use the 80mm rockets as their main weapons, but unlike so many other Russian aircraft, they have modern targeting systems to find and destroy targets with greater accuracy than any Russian platform before them. Utilizing the OPS-28 Tor targeting turret with TV and FLIR capability (future airframes will carry the mast mounted NO25 radar similar to the American AH-64 Apache), the Mi-28 first saw combat outside Palmyra and have been seen operating in pairs.

The Ka-52, with its counter-rotating coaxial rotor blades, is the only attack helicopter to have ejection seats, which fire after the rotor blades have been detached by explosive charges installed in the blade fastenings. For targeting the Ka-52 carries a nose mounted FH01 Myech-1U radar along with the GOES-451.2 TV/FLIR system combined with laser targeting and designation. These advanced systems of the Ka-52 were recently used to help Syrian forces liberate Palmyra, which the Syrian government had to abandon in December 2016 to ISIS. Working with Russian Air Force Su-25 Frogfoots, the KA-52s provided targeting for the ground attack aircraft, allowing for round the clock attacks on ISIS positions.
