NafeesaAA:


The war is coming to an end.


Boko Haram flees Sambisa Forest due to the Superior Firepower of the NIGERIAN Military

God Bless the Nigerian Military!

when we see other countries experience with terrorism . i think its only the beguining . when the Nigerian army will crush boko haram in these direct clashes and war . boko haram will move to true terrorism tactics .small, highly mobile groups with light weapons. ambushes on the supply routes , suicide bombings, cowardly attacks on civilians, quick attacks on units and small isolated barracks, kidnapping and rancor ect ..

thats why politics should prepare a good strategy for the next step associated with this continious military pressure . a peace agreement and amnesty for example. as it was done in Algeria in 2000's . with some economic projects for boko haram recruiting regions and a work on religious ideology in these regions

Oldies.. mig 25

you can appreciate the size of the beast grin


in the second pic you can see a mig 25 RB version for reconnaissance , fitted with cameras and ELINT equipment .

these jets in 70's bigining 80's were flying freely at mach 3 at high altitude in moroccan , south spanish airspaces . no plane could intercept them , no defense system could reach them at that time .

@Raaven

Just FYI people were posting fanboy info graphs(cough.... Kabe1) here long before I did..............could of just left me to have my fun instead of making this a technical serious discussion like we on nemises's page wink

we must encourage serious debates with sources, I am here, like many, to learn and understand more about military field . like this we will enjoy the thread more smiley

Gripen C
AOA: 70 degrees
Sustained turn rate: 28 degrees
Instantaneous turn rate: 38 degrees

here a serious source : pdf https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1474667015332274/pdf?md5=89008a7c3fa4a6978d9460bba43737d2&pid=1-s2.0-S1474667015332274-main.pdf

CAREFREE MANOEUVRING AND AUTOMATIC RETURN TO NORMAL FLIGHT ENVELOPE JAS 39 GRIPEN. an academic work From Robert Hillgren SAAB AB who work for SAAB

on page 118 you will find that angle of attack of the grippen is only 26 degree for the light external store configurations and
20 degrees for the most heavy external store configurations.


so again its very diffcult to appreciate and compare WVR capabilities and there is a lot of false fanboy stats and sources on internet . add the manufacturer advertising for there products , we need to be specialists in aeronautics and have these jets in the hands of our pilots to be able to judge . the gripen is a good jet but you can not say its better than others in WVR so easily

This was only a Gripen A:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/theaviationgeekclub.com/former-swedish-air-force-flight-engineer-explains-how-the-saab-gripen-can-dogfight-and-win-against-almost-any-dissimilar-aircraft/

it was gripen C , http://www.defense-aerospace.com/articles-view/release/3/75717/swedish-af-looks-back-on-gripen-at-red-flag.html
and the source of scores against F16's is from from Quora site ( not very serious source ) . from a guy called Stefan Englund ( former Lieutenant Swedish Air Force Flight Engineering (1986-1991), not an official source could be advertising

and its not against a rafale like your statement .

for a better source Swiss Air Force tested and evaluated the gripen between 2008 and 2011 , the result the Gripen has significantly inferior performances than the Rafale, the Typhoon or even the older F/A-18C/D used by swiss AF. ( pics 1 to 4 for the results)

[img]https://imagizer./v2/1139x625q90/924/RgOzln.jpg[/img]


the official report of the evaluation here : [url]http://lignesdedefense.blogs.ouest-france.fr/files/rapport%20suisse.pdf[/url]

Su35:
AOA: 45 degrees
Sustained turn rate:25
Instantaneous turn rate:32

Gripen C
AOA: 70 degrees
Sustained turn rate: 28 degrees
Instantaneous turn rate: 38 degrees

same problem . whats the source of this graph ? : AOA , Sustained turn rate change with altitude, weight, drag, speed,configuration.... here an exemple of a turn performance graph of an F16 .

[img]https://imagizer./v2/640x490q90/923/qBrBoj.jpg[/img]

how can you compare all this kind of parameters and give a single number with such a simple graph . its absolutely nonsense , this kind of test must be done under the same conditions for all the jets on your graph , which is impossible. so i think it's worthless fanboy graphs . wink

The Gripen is the best WVR fighter.... So yeah it would make it better in that instance than the Rafael, Euro fighter, Su35 and F15..... Its also downed Rafael and Euro fighter during exercise red flag ..... What it lacks compared to the aircraft you mentioned is deep strike capability.

which redflag exercise ??


The Gripen has the highest sustained and instantaneous turn rate of any fighter, as well as the highest AOA of any fighter in the world.

a source about this statement ? russian jets with there powerful two engines with thrust vector control are not a joke when we talk about maneuverability, AOA, and fight WVR

SamuelAnyawu:
Is it a crime if a Nigeria Soldier puts on a Nigerien or Chadian Camo?

yes . as a soldier you have to wear your national military uniform . dont think chadians will appreciate to see poeple wearing their uniforms

in classic wars against another country if enemy catch you without your uniform or wearing another uniform you will lose your status and rights as prisoners of war.
