Kandeed:
This tucano will be worse cuz that one is even more slow and ion even think it can fly that high
That's a wrong assumption, the Super Tucano, a turbo propeller driven jet is specifically designed for counter insurgency operations. It's has sufficient loiter time, I.e. it can hover/ hang around targets and deliver bombs or packets with relative precision, an advantage which the fast moving Jets like F-7s or Alphas do not possess. As a result they over run their target area n hit de wrong mark, a situation that occurred in Rann - Borno state where an IDP camp was inadvertently bombed.

I thought as much, te question is why should the alpha jet be flying that low?

It's not designed for such operations since majority of the time it's tasked to clear bottlenecks during fierce battles.

It's worrying because what that means is that helicopter gunship can easily be knocked out from the sky.
Most times, since choppers are vulnerable to RPG or rocket attack launched from the ground the NAF usually goes on missions with a combination of choppers, ISR ( Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) planes together with fighter jets (usually Alphas or F-7s) the ISR equipped with powerful radar or cameras pin point targets, the jets take them out while the choppers mop up softer targets. With this arrangement the choppers are relatively safe.

Babanah:
One technical question. If they can shoot down an Alpha jet how would the Turcanos fare against the terrorists?
They were able to hit the alpha Jet because he was flying at a very low altitude which was well within de range of their anti aircraft guns. Because the Jets do not have sufficient loiter time or precision bombs they have to fly very low in order to lob their bombs. That's why the Tucano jets and attack helicopters come in handy because they can loiter or hang over target area and do their thing. The Alphas are not designed for ground attack, they're mainly jet trainers. The NAF had to improvise and make do with what they had.

[quote author=sslcrypt post=103868826]Thank God he made back alive.

There are couple of things we can deduce from this event that took place.

Infiltration of bandits operational network haven't been achieved because there is heavy dependence on air force for intelligence gathering. This is done mostly from air

Also the bandits capabilities is increasing because for them to be able to hit the jet

it means they utilize surface to air missile which have the capability via heat sensor to break through the safety region jet fighters operate within when engaging ground enemies.

If the latter stands true then the challenge is taking another dynamics because further acquisition of such weapons would mean the bandits would be able to create a killzone.

A kill zone from air perspective is when bandits operates on higher ground such as rocky areas to gain a vantage point on any fighter jet or gunship aircraft.

So a false flag is initiated to draw the ground troops into a combat scene, knowing fully well there would be air support. When the air support shows up they will go for the kill.

The one efficient way jets can maneuver such surface to air missile is the use of gravity. That is heading into high altitudes to gas out the missiles.

More must be done to counter the move of such weapons into Nigeria.

There are very few in the black market and in very high demand. So the counterintellige unit of the army can deduce who's meeting meeting to make sales.

uuzba:
Na wa O. So our money no even reach for original plane.
The Alpha jet even looks so much smaller than harrier jet.
When buying a plane / jet, a lot of factors are put into consideration, apart from the unit cost of the platform, the cost of maintenance, spare parts, training of pilots and technicians together with armament are all factored into the total cost, which invariably makes the deal to be very expensive. Aside from that international law also applies as well, for Instance, the Leahy act / law ( named after Senator Leahy) bars a user of US military hard ware or equipment from selling it to a third party without authorization from the US government. Especially if the third party is indicted for human right violations. That was why Isreal refused to sell some attack helicopters to Nigeria during GEJ tenure, and he had to resort to the black market.

Used to have a toy of this jet as a kid. it's a Harrier jet.
We put 2 "B" Batteries inside and it would craw about the place shining red light.
It had a plastic foot under to raise and lower the plane.

Nigeria still using this old plane. It's not very fast by modern standards as the Engine is small.
It is capable of vertical take off and landing. The engine has to be small so it can accommodate the exhaust thrusters twisting mechanism that enables the vertical take off and landing. Hence the plane is slow due to the small engine.
At no point in time did NAF possess harriers in it's inventory, we have Alpha Jets which has a similar appearance with Harriers. We have procured, Jaguar seepcats, Mig - 21 ( most of which have been decommissioned) F-7s, J -17 Thunder and super Tucanos which have been recently purchased.

[quote author=QuotaSystem post=103550733]Buhari's agenda is to work for Nigeria.

You must be wishing it was Saraki and his pretentious patriotism that earned him the boot right?

Come Baba, do you have a conscience or sense of propriety? Our argument here has to do with impartiality, by being a card carrying member of APC (though she expects us to believe she no longer is) establishes a case of implicit bias, it can't be guaranteed that she'll neutral or sit by the fence when handling a case that concerns her party. Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa had to recuse herself from a presidential election tribunal simply because her husband ( mind you, not her) was an APC senator from Bauchi. In summary, you can't be a judge in your own case or simply put, a cockroach cannot be considered innocent in a gathering of fowls.

You rant as if you know what's going on in the Military.
Do you know how many cadets have been dealt with or relegated due to misbehaviour in the civil society.
I can tell you numerous cadets that have been dismissed or sanctioned for stupid display in the public that the media could not cover to show the public. There was a particular RC were more than 50 cadets were dismissed. You can't compare Sandhurst and other with NDA. Like I said, if you visit NDA, you'll see how the Institution treat cadets. When was the last time you saw a cadet misbehaved?
Abeg no make me laugh, you can't compare NDA with Sandhurst and others? For starters, Apart from sister sub saharan African countries, which foreign cadet do we have in NDA? Are the best Army cadet in any particular course not sent to Sandhurst? I can vividly remember cadets from 54RC -58RC were regularly sent to Hellenic Military and Air force Academy in Greece for training. Some were even sent to West point in US for training. Abeg NDA still de learn work for where those Academy are mentioned.

We shouldn't be allowing the southern governors to hold any meetings where they will try to break out of Nigeria.

Dss should move fast and disperse all these governors and even arrest some of them to teach them a lesson.

Ethiopia and Nigeria have one thing in common. Islam vs christain.

the oromo people are Muslims, they are the majority.

while the Tigray are christains, they are like a dot in a circle.

so the oromo president Abiy Ahmed decided to talk to them in a language they would understand. he turned off internet service in the region since the war started.

They don't have state, they have region, based on the tribe. the Tigray were the minority ruling a Muslim majority tribe.


The Amhara and the oromo people have a common enemy . they have decided to commit a genocide by wiping off the Tigray people.
For your Info, Abiy Ahmed is a Christian, though most of his family members are Muslims.
