The war will never end because of the mentality of the majority of contributors here. They are contented with posting the same lame pictures they've been posting for 5 year's while the country is tearing apart. God help you if you dare make any attempt to discuss the issue, they will say take the issue to Abuja and don't derail. The lethargic attitude of the government to the security of lives and properties borders on criminal. Boko Haram now stands shoulder to shoulder with the Nigerian army, attacking well fortified military bases at will , the military is stretched too thin to near breaking point..and because the violence and death is localized only in the northeast nobody cares, to them.its fantasy. Soon they will graduate from attacking bases to encroaching down south and the government's approach to the war will still not change. This country is at the precipes of falling off the cliff. By the time we experience first hand the consequence of those at the helm of affairs turning the war into a multi billion dollar enterprise, when herdesmen grow in sufficient numbers to start their massacre down south, when bombs are exploding, people getting kidnapped and the nation descend into full blown civil war with sokdiers deserting an mass and a compilsory military draft instituted, then we will know how ridiculous it was for us to make excuses for the corruption just so we can continue looking at pictures.
You mean like before 2015?

grin We don't disagree with you as such SLBMS, it is just that we have ranted over the years and it got us nowhere. When you were probably still in primary school, we were ranting and even on Beegeagles blog on what was needed etc. What happened, nada.

I just hope you don't suffer from high blood pressure. This is why we just post and view in the hope that something will happen eventually but we can't influence anything or anybody via this forum.

Shit!!!
The CAS also said that by about the end of 2021, they would have inducted 44 new aircraft. Your guess is as good as mine.

They are Indian Air Force cast-offs upgraded by Belarus, which isn't saying much. I will pick the JF-17 block 3 over those any day.

Maybe we can post theirs tongue

SLBMS:
Dude, it will be the greatest tragedy that ever fell upon any nation if by 2025 we are still fighting Boko Haram. If our fleet of Alpha jets, hind helicopters and F-7 fighters cannot crush Boko Haram, an enemy with to corresponding capability then we have no business having an air force. Why are you people so adamantly opposed to the air force modernizing its fleet? The fire brigade approach to security might be survivable against a non state actor. If for some reason an adversary decides to make a move Nigeria will be a puppet state in less than a week.
Gosh you are slow. Nobody on this forum can facilitate it. We are not responsible for funding the military. Nobody here will be happier than I if we budget $40 billion dollars for capital expenditure. The politicians you voted in are responsible, nah wah o!

EXACTLY !!!! the giant of Africa with the largest land force should emulate Dominican Republic and Ecuador. We are justified right? Dude, you need to wake up man. Besides your subtle jabs, counter my point with more substance. Tell me why I am mistaken, Nigeria is on the right track. I expect you to be able to with our throwing insults. Who knows I may change my mind after seeing your point.
I think you are the one missing the point.

SLBMS:
I have to apologise on these countries you call stupid on your behalf, because it would seem you might just be the one. Take a look at those countries what do they have in common? ...that's right, they all have a credible air force. They have at the very least one or two squadrons of fighter jets, so their investing in Super Tucano is obviously for a specified reason. The NAF strike fleet is a double tragedy. The aircraft are hopelessly obsolete, and the numbers in service is beyond ridiculous. 10 Alpha Jet trainers and five F-7Ni constitute our strike fleet. The NAF receive millions in allocation for training pilots. It cost almost a million dollars to train just one pilot. Another one or two billion naira is allocated for building new housing for our pilots. After spending so much what exactly are these pilots supposed to do with their acquired skill? There are only 5 fighter jet in the NAF. FIVE.

So we spend billions in welfare and training yet we vehemently refuse to do something about our obselete fleet. Is it not madness that for the past 11 years now, the most number of aircraft the NAF has acquired is 10 Super Mushank trainers from Pakistan. The JF-17 negotiation started in 2014. We are approaching ten years we still have no idea when or if we will take delivery.,.and paradventure by 2025 when we finally take delivery we will have just three. THREE !! We are struggling against an enemy with negligible air defence capabilities yet we have lost close to a 3rd to enemy fire. Of the two Mi-35 recently delivered we've already lost one. Do you even grasp the mAgnitude of this capability gap,? How does 12 turbo prop aircrzft solve the fundamental problem in the AF?
I am not getting into your argument. If you can't see that the COIN aircraft is what is needed, then I can't help you. It has 8-9 hours loiter time, can be used as an ISR platform having dispensed its ammo and when not being used for COIN, is a very good training aircraft which mimics advanced platforms. Not one tucano has been shot down that I know of while providing close air support.

Nobody is denying the need for multi-role combat aircraft, just that it is not a priority unless your legislators agree to fund the billions of dollars needed. That won't happen unless your enemies are a few miles from Abuja and even then, some will still disagree and ask about the Mig 21s parked up north somewhere.

So you can see, ranting here doesn't change anything. Direct it at your reps and senators.

Let us finally publish the list of stupid countries that operate the "useless" tucano and bring this argument to a close.

For anyone interested in the usefulness of the super tucano, the US Air Force wants to use them for spec ops.

Even the Phillipines Air Force currently fighting an insurgency think it is the right aircraft.

I suggest you leave this people. Nothing you say will make them see where you are coming from. You are a critical thinker, they are not. They just want to post pictures, they dont think. Ignore them.
So you call people names because they don't agree with your line of thinking? The fact that Afghanistan is using the Tucano for COIN and USA having ordered them for trials as a low cost alternative in uncontested airspace are all not critical thinkers?

Of course, you even know more than the military that ordered it.

Odunayaw:
Have said this thing before, we don't have the platforms to respond to every FOB attack, especially those so far-flung in the theatre. Even the Army knows this.

The question we should always be asking is why NS chooses to situate FOBs in seemingly irregular fashion sometimes too far for the nearest unit to help & at times too dangerous to supply. We should be asking why FOBs are built like IDP camps.

Till this questions are asked & answered we'd keep having a seesaw insurgency
I have always said it is the way the FOBs are set up (location, materials/construction) that is the problem. Heck, I would run if I was based there. A military base should be so well constructed that it would even be harder to get out than in if you get my drift smiley
