This R-APC is actually Buhari faction. It is Buhari himself trying to raise factions to challenge other factions trying to share posts within APC. Most kids on Nairaland are too duncy to even realize that. Binary minded simpletons.

Indonesian army aviation is really something else

Indonesia manufactures helicopters we must remember

North Korea cannot shut down its reactors just like that. I don't think it's technically possible to flick a switch and reactors die. Nuclear reactors also have a lot of peaceful uses anyway. The problem also is Trump himself who is probably the most stupid US President in modern history not knowing he is just going to achieve with N, Korea exactly what Clinton, Bush and Obama achieved, - a mix of moratorium on development and acceptance of N. Korean capability
N. Korea will expand its nuclear facilities and continue improving its missile technology as a negotiating tactic. Trump thinks he knows "The Art of The Deal" but there is probably a better book written in North Korea. The new US Secretary of State was heard saying this week that the aim of the US is to " secure and retrieve all N. Korean nuclear weapons". Well good luck with that.

It is sad that the Nigerian Church has degenerated to this

Human Growth Hormone usage maybe.

This guy is a crook. He is already under investigation for public sector financial crimes including ownership of property in 22 cities with questiomable funding .

This is OBJ's final move in politics. Knowledgeable people have also observed that removal of IBB, OBJ, Danjuma from Nigerian politics was going to be necessary for Nigeria's growth and development. This is going to happen very soon.

Look at this one that is more beautiful than Mercy Johnson and still comparing herself

Encrypted apps like WhatsApp is almost impossible to snoop except for some countries who have the capability to do so and that too becz they co-operate with each other.

Unless the data servers of Google etc r located within the country the surveillance will be limited. Mostly off line analysis to find patterns , behaviour etc and not real time.

My personal opinion

I suspect Nigeria has a pipeline to most intelligence material from the US in return for us spying on ISIS and Al qaeda cells. It is always a mistake to hope on one country's lack of capability.

Only time will tell

Buhari did not know Abacha was stealing.
Possibly only two ministers and CBN governor knew about the stealing
Also Abacha could never have been Buhari's mentor. It was the other way round

They attend the same church.

They were in choir together

Atiku Abubakar the only candidate with a Presidential clout that will send buhari back to Daura

Datti Baba-Ahmed is very clean but I don't see him winning against Buhari. Atiku will destroy himself if he contests against Buhari.
It will be worse than MKO's experience and Nigerians won't like him much with the info that will come out against this guy. That info is much more damaging than Obasanjo's vituperations on US money laundering. Atiku is a NO NO and he himself knows.

so the Russians are not technological advanced?

The Russians are not technologically advanced. The infrastructure that throws out technology talent is under developed. Russia is grossly behind in key AI, robotics and other technologies compared with other countries. The mistake is to compare them with US, they are not even in competition with the US. I am saying against China, Europe and Japan, they are losing tech edge. The problem is over dependence on oil and having a superman surrounded by oligarchs taking all decisions

Argentina is going out tonight. One man team. Nigeria should have taken them out. They were scared for 90 mins.

So this Dokubo guy has been in politics since university. He was actually youth founder member of two or three political parties in Nigeria in Rivers State if I recall. To think he won't have met Oshiomole even before he became governor would be remote. So it probably has nothing to do with politics.

I LOVE RUSSIA. Nigeria owes its recent successes against Boko Haram to Russian weapons. But lets be frank, the U.S military is the most powerful military machine the world has ever seen since the days of Imperial Rome. Its more powerful than the Nazi army of yesterday, its as technologically advanced as Japan and has as much nuclear weapons as Russia. That is a fact no matter how we try to pretend it is a declining power.

Minus nuclear weapons, i rate Russia militarily at par with Turkey.

When the Russian came to Syria they changed the tide of the war and it was the Russian airforce that paved the way.

The Saudi airforce as been pounding the Yemenis and nothing as changed instead they are kicking the Saudi and Saudi backed coalition force ass

Last months news.

Yes the Saudis have actually turned the tide in Yemen. This is just two week old news. I didn't want the Saudis to win in Yemen but it appears by the grace of Sudanese, Chadian and Moroccoan troops they will. Sanctions will start hitting Iran badly this month and they are over extended in Syria and Lebanon. Again I don't want Iran to be too weak in that region but it just might happen.

Jkay187:
Too much Fox and BBC news I guess.

Russian footage. They were boasting with the stuff on YouTube. If you want to believe that Russian precision guided weaponry is up to scratch co pared with US and Europe pls go ahead.

Henry240:
Let's forget about the fact the air campaign by Russia turned the tide, and have won the war for the Assad regime for a moment.

Could you, Sternprophet, point out in this your link were it shows the SU-35S ground attack missions in Syria was a failure?

I'm throwing this question to you, it is your link, you provided it, prove it.

I am actually looking for a YouTube Russian aircraft cockpit video. Their own material released at the start of their Syria campaign.

Pls stop this stuff about Russian air campaign turned the tide. It is amateurish.
Any air campaign turns tides to the full extent that air campaigns can. It does not matter what planes you use. Saudis are turning the tide in Yemen with F16s piloted by inexperienced pilots. It was ground action that won the war.

I think Russians have been spreading the story like they desperately "need to" and the Americans have been like, " OK, whatever floats your boat".
They will not join in any discussion that reveals their tech secrets and they won't even sell the smaller F-35 to Turkey.

This one is a more seriously cerebral publication :

https://sofrep.com/95923/russia-claims-first-interaction-between-f-22-and-su-35-centcom-calls-it-a-fairy-tale/

One of the dangers of the social media age is mental timidity and lack of critical thinking. The Russians are actually more sophisticated in propaganda (as seen in the US elections) than designing and fielding modern combat jets.
Technology is leaving them and that is why they kept to what they knew best (theoretical aerodynamics) recycling the same SU27 airframe with different engine sizes instead of trying to keep up with advances in stealth and netcentric warfare. I am not even sure they have as much talent in key areas as ordinary Ukraine as we speak

Apparently I'm talking to a 13 year old.

What don't you understand! I'll help you.

The F-22s that are stealth weren't even aware the Su-35 was above them and had their positions locked. The lone Su-35 rapidly descended before they picked it up but then he had them locked. Now think...then think again.

The same internet you read this sources saying that this version of events was fabricated and oversimplified by the Russians. Every country interested is still buying F35s in spite of similar stories some of them even put online by Americans to hide capabilities.

Covert1:
Nearly every country outside of NATO uses Russian stuff including some NATO countries. Any one not wanting to be subject to sanctions when it comes to sensitive national security needs buys Russian or outsourced Russian technology in this case Chinese.

Yes Russian high-end Fighters are expensive to run and maintain but I'll tell you they are meant for real war. These guys build to kill. To this day even the F-22 does not come close to the maneuverability of the Su-30. A disadvantage in a dog-fight and when it comes to the intelligent systems and stealth that is touted to give the F-22 and F-35 the edge the Russians and Chinese have developed and are developing the capability to neutralize it. Maybe tomorrow but today an Su-35 piloted by a Russian will give the Americans a run for their money. That I can bet you. In war it what works that counts not unproven hype.

Exactly. So we buy three (3) pieces of the PESA radar SU35 rubbish in a hangar at TAC to bully Chad but we keep two squadrons of JF17 Block 2/3 AESA radar aircraft for the serious business of securing airspace and killing enemy surface forces.

Covert1:
Dude Wikipedia is heavily edited. And in this world of battle supremacy between superpowers all most everyone lies to market overhyped and overpriced weapons and equipment or at the least to save face in engagement failures.

Your posts reeks of one who clearly listens too much to talking heads on TV or skewed information on the internet rather than practical knowledge of the military defense system.

When they tell you precision strikes it doesn't always mean a hundred percent kill. It is often in meters within the target.

Every expert objective Syrian watcher knows their was an air interdiction of two US F-22s by a lone Russian Su-35 over the Euphrates. How that was possible is now a matter of disinformation by the intelligence of both countries. But did it happen yes it did.

And of course the interdiction was due to technical superiority and not Pentagon not wanting to escalate to lead to a nuclear war. So I am playing with my 13 yo nephew, he hits me on the stomach and i dramatically/playfully fall to the ground so he is champion.
Everything depends on the depth and discrimination of thinking you bring to what you read.

Meanwhile the SU 35 top of the line variant sports PESA radar. The JF17 variant Nigeria is buying is AESA radar. So apart from a larger weapon load of outdated missiles and range, the SU35 is an inferior aircraft. The range we can have with an airborne refuelling tanker.

Twitter Senator, which of the businesses are you engaged in?

The business where 470 people steal N125bn every year.

Pls Note this; EVERY YEAR FOR 4 YEARS.

nPDP is already arm twisting to get automatic nomination, automatic rigging back to their seats in return they will support Buhari so if you are a PDP supporter or Saraki supporter you need to be asking yourself what inferior destiny is making you support these guys.
