Is not cloning.

He used Simpiyieo but changed the letter "i" from lower case to upper case so that it appears like simplyleo. All na trick to disguise for a motive which we all know.

By so doing, he can start sending PMs to people so that it appears as if it is me.

The APKWS is a low cost semi-active laser guidance kit developed by BAE Systems which is added to unguided 70 mm rockets, turning them into precision strike weapons.
General Dynamics lands $286 million Army contract to produce Hydra-70 rockets


“The Hydra is a cost-effective, versatile, combat-proven weapon that enhances the survivability, protection and mission success of the U.S. military and its allies,” Russ Klein, the company’s vice president and general manager of weapon systems, said in a news release.

The Army orders the rockets for all branches of the U.S. military and for select allies.

General Dynamics said the Army equips its Apache and Kiowa Warrior helicopters with Hydra-70 rockets.

I know you saw unguided and quickly saw a flaw and something to denigrate Nigeria with because of your anti-Nigerian and unpatriotic attitude.

...but you obviously lack the capacity to read and comprehend or your anti-Nigerian sensibilities mislead your ability to read and comprehend.

We are getting 400 Laser-Guided Rockets including Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) and the same Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) is designed to convert the Hydra Rockets and turn them into Precision and guided rockets.

Us Military put in $286 million order to furnish all their armed services with the same Hydra Rockets with Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) just like we are doing.

It saddens me that what some of you should be proud of is what you are always so quick and eager to condemn just because you are so bitter, hateful and antI-Nigerian.

You end up sounding ignorant and illiterate.

Laser guided there doesn't mean it's a guided munition , there are two ways lasers used for targeting purpose , one is the munitions it's selfs is can home onto laser signal ( hot target) and make adjustments on its own to guide it to the laser and this one where the laser only acts as a scope to guide the pilot to position his rocket pods accurate to make a strike no different from the laser scope on you pistol... Stop making it look like it's some advance Surface to ground guided missile ..the Tucano has the ability to carry proper guided missiles and thats what our airforce should be buying not basics solid propellant unguided rockets fired from rocket pods ...those things are Nonsense on a battle field except for the confusion they cause or when you want halt a column of soft body enemy vehicle... I only commented because you where trying to make it look like Buhari went for next gen guided munition

Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, uses semi-active laser guidance to turn Mk 81 and Mk 82 general purpose bombs into guided weapons. The DSCA said the sale includes the tailkits to transform Nigeria’s existing 500-lb and 250-lb bomb bodies into GBU-12s and GBU-58s respectively, and that Nigeria is also buying additional GBU-58s/Mk 81 bombs.

We are not just getting 12 fully armed Tucanos, we are also rearming and modernizing our entire weaponry system.

We are turning our existing 500-lb and 250-lb bomb bodies into GBU-12s and GBU-58s ..

APKWS® laser-guided rocket: A mid-body guidance section that transforms a standard, unguided 2.75-inch (70 mm) rocket into a precision laser-guided rocket.

https://www.baesystems.com/en-us/product/precision-guided-munitions
APKWS not only make the rockets guided munition, but it also turned them into Precision-guided munitions with laser, meaning even better than guided.

Do you know the meaning of precision or precise (marked by exactness and accuracy of expression or detail.)

Are you smarter than the US military that ordered $286 million worth of Hydra-70 rockets?

Please go away if you have nothing better to talk about?

I really can not stand these hateful and ignorant illiterates.

[b]BAE awarded $2.7 billion APKWS laser-guided rocket production contract


BAE Systems was awarded an almost $2.7 billion contract to procure Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System precision guidance units for 2.75-inch rockets, the U.S. Department of Defense said in a release.[/b]


BAE says APKWS is designed to lock on to both moving and stationary targets from more than 3 km (1.9 miles) away. The system has a minimum range of 1.5 km and a maximum of 5 km.

The system uses advanced seeker optics on four guidance wings that are deployed after firing. This Distributed Aperture Semi-Active Laser Seeker (DASALS) technology allows the four seekers to work together as a single unit.

Apart from the 12 Tucano, I think this Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) is the best component and part of the whole package.

It means we have access to 6,000 rockers with guided and laser precision pinpoint accuracy to blow away moving and stationary targets with almost zero collateral damage.

Very exciting.
