Same way i have seen anything he posts end up here more often than not...and you were the one talking about building a community. The reason nobody takes nairaland serious is because of this hateful badbelle attitude. I remember Beegeagles,Paddylo, SSBN...the fact you celebrating this is proof of your envy and jealousy. He is a brand most of you will never become so the best you can do is hate. Its disgraceful and sad.

Lol, this is comedy!!

Stop posting false ridiculous posts on twitter.

Stop been a fraud!!

But seriously, what happened to the previous CH-3 Nigeria bought from China?


The last footage gotten from them was the airstrike on an artillery piece. Ever since then, they have not been seen again. The Iraqis are also down to one drone out of the 10 units ordered. Some other countries are even selling theirs for very cheap price. This calls for serious concern.

Should we be spending more money on Chinese made drones when all they do is fall out of the sky and remain idle due to unserviceability in our hangars.

My prayer is that we at least get value for money before the drones start acting up.

Latest Sitrep from Ethiopia.... Looks like this is turning into a regional war from a civil war. Eritrea's main airport was just bombed.

The CH-3's and its (ISR) functions have been active all through since purchase, if I'm correct most of the videos of strikes are from the UAV's
The Achilles heel for the NAF remains the cost of the precision munitions, as its hard and unconscionable to justify expending 50,000 dollars on single targets. This would be the same problem when the super-tucanos arrive and everyone who is happy about their delivery would be disappointed in the long run if the NAF is unable to expend as much precision munitions as it need to owing to the financial costs.

Public selling price for precision air to ground missiles:

American Hellfire ~ approx. 120,000 dollars
Chinese Ar1/Ar2 (Hellfire replica) ~ approx. 60,000 dollars

These selling price's are marked up 20x ~ 50x from original cost of production

Nigeria should focus on cost of production and cost of materials in a precision missile, NAF, NA, and NN should start a program to reverse engineer the Ar1 and Ar2 and also the incoming missiles from America, albeit weary bout the American missiles as they might have a phone home component if and when the missile is disassembled, hence before disassembly, the engineers and the missile must be enclosed in a faraday cage, to prevent any signals leaving the locale. The reverse engineering team should also focus on the useful paveway laser guide kit, attached to dumb bombs and rockets turning them smart and precise. This will enable the military conduct more precise executions.
at 5,000 dollars cost of production, that's still some 2million naira a precise strike, more manageable
than 60,000dollars, 22million naira a precise strike.

for comparison


In 2012, we had problems with six of our night attack helicopters,” said Abubakar.
“Their computer systems have multi-function displays to show all aircraft parameters including height, speed, temperature and oil pressure. That display system is also configured with the camera system. However, there was a conflict between the two systems, which would manifest after certain number of flying hours and lead to blind flights.
“We called the manufacturers to fix it and they gave us a bill of naira 158 million ($500,000) per helicopter, so we decided to handle it. A local team has resolved that conflict by separating the two systems and creating additional monitors for all the aircraft at a cost of about N5 million ($31,800). They also provided an alternative recorder system, which was not there. Those helicopters have been flying since then.”

it was the agusta helos we had multi function display problem with not any attack helps,also we are likely not receiving any missiles from USA the missile Tucs fire is the AGM Maverick that shit is expensive and it's not in our Tucano program.

WTF
What was the reason for the huge cost?

Just to correct some notions in this post.

Most of NAF reconnaissance videos released to the public are from the King Air and ATR-42 aircrafts.

If you look at the videos released, you would be able to clearly tell the difference.

With regards to the Super Tucanos, we won't have any of such problems as you have listed above. The reason NAF Super Tucano deal is nearly 475 million dollars is because NAF invested heavily in precession weaponry.

And as we can see in NAF operations, the force doesn't just deploy assets because they can. Assets are deployed according to requirement.

There are missions for different types and class of aircrafts.

The Drones would mostly be used to target terrorist infrastructure and rear bases. That's why only 2 units are going to be deployed in Maiduguri.

As we have seen NAF CH-3A's are based in Adamawa, not even at the headquarters of operation lafiya dole.

The Tucanos would do most of the heavy lifting, they'll most likely replace the Alpha jets in this role, while assets are redeployed elsewhere.

MULTINATIONAL JOINT TASK FORCE RECEIVES ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FROM EUROPEAN UNION

1. In fulfilment of its pledge to provide additional support to enhance the operational efficiency of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), the European Union (EU) has provided Command, Control, Communication and Information Systems (C3IS) equipment to the Force. In line with the agreement for implementation of this support, a training has been jointly organised by the service providers and Force Headquarters for personnel who would operate the C3IS equipment across the MNJTF Sectors. While declaring the training opened, the Force Commander, Major General Ibrahim Manu Yusuf commended the EU for the provision of the C3IS equipment, describing it as ‘most critical’ to enhancing the operational performance of the troops in the field.

2. The Force Commander expressed appreciation for the additional support, which is closely related to the recent provision of Helicopters and Petroleum Oil and Lubricants (POL) through the framework of African Union to MNJTF. The C3IS project will enable conveyance of classified messages and communication through the secured net, he added. Continuing, General Yusuf equally commended the service providers for the display of resilience and vigour in the execution of the project.

3. The Force Commander assured the EU that all the support provided will be optimally utilised in accordance with the global best practices to enhance the operational efficiency of the troops. He therefore urged the Sector Commanders, in whose custody the equipment will be, to ensure proper utilisation, maintenance and safety of the equipment.

4. To the trainees, General Yusuf implored them to pay attention and apply themselves fully to the training procedures and processes. “As the pioneer trainees, you are expected to learn and strictly understand how to operate the equipment, as you will be the one to install it at sector level”, he said. On its part, HQ MNJTF has taken steps to provide alternative power supply at the Sector HQs in order to ensure uninterrupted power supply for the communication equipment.

5. When completed, the C3IS system is expected to enable rapid deployment of strategic and operational communication capabilities within the MNJTF Area of Operation.

For the 1st time ...the algerian official tv showed what looks like ISKANDER ballistic missile hiting a target with high precision

the Iskander is a mobile short-range ballistic missile system , according to some reports algeria received 4 regiments (48 launchers).
