Algeria Air Force C 130J 640New transport aircraft for Algerian Air Force

There were already rumours that the al-Quwwat al-Jawwiya al-Jaza'iriya (Force Aérienne Algérienne, Algerian Air Force) would receive the new Lockheed C-130J Super Hercules.

Although we have not seen a photo yet, the first C-130J with serial 7T-WJA (construction number unknown) was seen at Greenville/Donaldson Center (SC) on 23 May 2021.

It is reported that the Algerian Air Force has ordered four C-130Js and that Algerian pilots and maintenance crews are already trained in the US. Currently, the air force operates the C-130H and C-130H-30 Hercules with the 2ème Escadre de Transport Tactique et Logistique at Boufarik air base.

According to the Scramble Magazine database, the air force has eight C-130H and six C-130H-30 transporters operational.

Algeria Air Force Il 76MD 90 480But the C-130J is not the only new transport aircraft. Also four Ilyushin Il-76MD-90A transporters are reported as ordered. No details are known yet on the delivery schedules of both aircraft.
Here's a first pic. It also appears to have early warning sensors for missiles

let's say it's written off our ISR platforms left are
1.ATR-42
2 King Air 350i
1 Diamond Guardian
2 CJ3
It is well with NAF
The incoming drones will at least fill in some major ISR gaps.

Some more bad news from a few days ago lads. We've lost one of our ATR-42 ISR/ELNIT aircraft to a runway accident two days ago. There were no fatalities thankfully. Apparently the plane's wing struck some vegetation when taxiing down the runway. From the extensive damage, the airframe is probably going to be written off.

Its a King Air 350?

Nice to hear that we having targeting pods, and the pilot said our jf17 is 4.5 generation capable fighter jet( hmmmm, this I'm not sure of), the capability to be upgraded to but not yet 4.5 to me.
Please who knows what weapons we are getting with the jet, to me that's the most important information at the moment.
Im thinking short ranged infrared guided A2A missiles and and some long range BVR R-Darter missiles. Also, with targeting pods, its almost a certainty that we'll be getting GBU-10 and GBU-12.

Worth noting though that we unfortunately won't be getting any RAAD-II nuclear missiles cheesy

https://twitter.com/NigAirForce/status/1395311405201457154?s=19[/quote]Awesome. It seems though that the JF-17 haven't yet been fixed with hard points yet. Along with the Aselpod targeting pod, I wonder where NAF sources its giuded munitions from for the jet. China or Pakistan?

The common denominator: fantastical tales, claims of insider info and chest beating. Minor variations in syntax notwithstanding.
Dunno if you saw the claim by Joscofelix that NAF had not only received RAAD-II nuclear cruise missiles with the JF-17, but had deployed and used it against bandits just a few hours after the JF-17 was delivered. Oh, and he somehow had the security clearance from NAF to gain him access into TAC Makurdi to see the jets even before NAF top brass did grin

Thats a different ship in the class. NNS Centenary and Unity only came with the main gun on the bow and two 30mm guns on the port and starboard side each based on NN's specifications from CSIC when the projectwas commissioned. The ships have NO missiles and are strictly OPV's. Try to do a bit of research please.

The Chadians military just destroyed one of the rebel columns that left lybia and was heading for Ndjamena.
We are paying the effects of the fall of Kadhafi. Most many weapons of the ex-lybian army are in the hands of many of these terrorist groups in mali, niger and Chad.
The French Airforce did most of the work while Deby was shitting himself. Though, they wouldn't hesitate to drop him in an instant if he stops serving their interests i the region.

But bokoharam also target muslims.

I watched a video of a beheadinģ of a muslim Nigerian soldier by bokoharam, he even begged that they are from the same sect, they called him an infidel and cut off his neck.

I have a question for you, pls answer without emotions.

Lets image, you are in a war zone and the invaders says show us your friend that is from another tribe or we shall kill you and your family?

What are you going to do?
I chose not to respond to him. You simply can't have an intellectual discourse with a bigot that chooses to generalise an entire population over the actions of a radical few. Have there not been ethnic clases in other parts of Nigeria, independent of religion of creed?

I have to consciously remind myself that this is still Nairaland.com, the HQ of ethno-religious bigotry on the Nigerian cyberspace. Its really sad how the thread has lost almost all its past qualities and intellectual commentators.

You don’t need AK47 to compel certain people. Only Religious preaching is enough.
Religious preaching for where? You think the entire town is dumb or what? Even without NA, let ISWAP come into the town without guns and try to openly preach their ideology to these people, people who have lost fathers, mothers and siblings to the group's violence. Do you think they'd make it out alive? They'd be ripped to shredds the same way Boko Haram members were killed by Maiduguri residents during the Giwa Barraks incident.

Its like you underestimate the power and influence a man has over people when he's armed and they're at his mercy.

Oga the locals gave took them to houses of even fellow locals that worked with Humanitarian Organisation. The Locals working with NGOs are tagged infidels. I hope you are aware that money was distributed by ISWAP to the villagers that day?

Infact some villagers working as volunteers were executed.... no be every story Dey news
If hundreds of armed terrorists were to enter your apartment in the dead of night to meet you and your family with the fact that you know no one's ever coming to help you. Now the terrorist ask you a simple question, "where is your neighbour, take us to his room". Tell me, would you form hard guy and be a hero or comply? The crux of this issue is NA's inability to protect civilian targets, leaving the civilians do what they can to save their lives, including working with an enemy you know could kill you at the slightest disobedience.

Its easy for us to judge the actions of people if we're not in their shoes.

Nothing new grin grin grin

In Dikwa after a wonderful sermon by ISWAP, it was the locals that took ISWAP to the Guest houses and private house of Humanitarian workers. They were tagged infidels.

Infidels Dey give you food and you Dey collect. lipsrsealed
I don't buy this. I personally don't see how the civilians were left with much of a choice if ISWA had control of the town for those hours and could do anything they wanted. Given what ISWAP has done in the past, what do you think would happen to them if the refused to cooperate while being held at gun point. Things aren't that simple abeg.

Additionally, all it would take was one spy or informant who's also part of the group to give them all the information they needed.

Venezuealsn authorities capture a drug lord. Interestingly, one of the operatives seems to be armed with the rare South African CR-21 Vektor Rifle. This is the first time I've seen it in the wild.

Yes, I mentioned earlier, NAF doesn't commit its ground troops to the NE. NAF QRF once served alongside NA during the JTF days. After that, its rare seeing them anywhere apart from Maiduguri and Air Combat Controllers embedded with NA

NAF Regiments are in Mongonu
NAF Regiment is only present in MDGR Airbse for force protection. For ground combat duties, they're deployed to the NW against bandits, especially the current operation in Birnin Gwari. However, NAF does deploy a intelligence units along with NA troops on operations in Borno. These aren't Regiment or QRF, but rather serve as Air Combat Controllers. They relay coordinates of enemy forces and coordinate close air support missions while in constant communication with ISR and NAF combat jets. One of such officers was KIA in 2019 unfortunately.

NAF Regiment has no current mandate in Borno as far as I know apart from force protection duties in Maiduguri. If they're in Mongonu as you say, then they're probably also there to provide force protection to UN helicopter landing zones.

Roan77:
He is indeed right about the attack and killings of Iswap insurgents, and Airstrikes, in border town between Niger and Nigeria, and it was an operation between Nigerien troops and Nigerian troops.
It is confirmed.
He referenced a separate operation that has already been reported across social media against ISWAP. The group responsible for downing the jet was JAS in the Konduga AOR. NA units and MNJTF Sector 1 troops remain engaged in that area as usual. No "revenge operation" has been planned or will be as usual combat operations continue in full force in the AOR.

NAF Regiment has also never been deployed to Northern Borno in its history as he falsely alludes. This war, its actors, Army units, objectives, size and disposition of the enemy isn't that difficult to understand if you're willing to do the research and not get your info from people who claim NAF has RAAD II Nuclear cruise missiles on Nairaland. Its unfortunate that people take inspiration from SSBN to spew blatant falsehood and stupidity and distract people from actual happenings in the NE

over 86 iswap killed by men of the Nigeria army, 72 strike team and naf special force (naf special force are really trained) two gun truck destroyed . ak 47 recoverd amoo, ammunition and other heavy weapons recovered, the iswap was roasted when airstrike from borono came and did some air support on a high speed, the dead of the airstrike have not be counted. according to what i heard the air force strike down to Niger republic strike a lot isawp fighter and killed a lot of them.
remember this morning i said the CDS have order a revenge mission on iswap terriorst in not up to 24hour my report have validated. but some mumu people who sit in their father house will say they will be no airstrike or revenge mission. Now, Oga who the lie?. the revenge mission will continue to the next three day. i pray for the success of the mission. those jobless people that want to report my account can go on now.
​this guy just won't give up with his fake and misleading "reports" even after being humiliated for his falsehood many times over. If I didn'tknow any better, I'd say you're a masochist. Also, as I specified earlier, the 72nd Mobile Strike force no longer exists as a unit in any shape or form. All its remaining units were absorbed into the 707 Special Operations Battalion years ago. This puts your entire "report" about "revenge operations" with battalions that no longer exist as flat falsehood, an operation which only you seems to have heard about grin All operations are still proceeding as planned with troops of Sector 1 MNJTF in the Sambisa AOR, under Op TT Phase II. Tactical planning isn't goverend by emotions but rather by logic.

Additionally CSAR is now over as both pilots are now confirmed dead. All efforts now remain focused on recovering their bodies. Whenever you spew blatant falsehood, I'll always be there to counter you.
