Algeria.... Buys 24 Winglong UAVs...and already operates several dozen other UAVs

Nigeria....buys 2 Winglong.... Nigerians: "we are gaint of Africa of UAVs, nr 1 in world, most sophisticated UAV in universe, biggest fleet of Africa"

P. S when I say Nigerians I mean kabe1 and Stormtrooper11 and to an extent Odunayaw

When did we say best in the world? The word mostly used here is, "Best drone platforms in Sub-Saharan Africa".

You're just a pained little bloody sucker.

Yes, Nigeria is the Giant of Africa. Live with it, lad.

jl115:
actually they were quoting Nigerian reports

Lol. Can you here yourself? Quoting mere speculations. Does it make sense to you? I'm done arguing with a dumb low life like your incoherent sorry self.

jl115:
I said Leonardo denied the purchase....can you not read?

Didn't you see the screenshot where you said we'll never get the M-346FA? Illiterate

jl115:
it's not confirmed but anyway the dog barks but the caravan moved on

Nah.. Andrew was cool on the line not you crook.

jl115:
he said the flash 20 will replace the Ch3..... Why would he say that?

Show me a screenshot of where he said that and I'll retract lol

jl115:
please do mate .... And when it's confirmed I will be the first to congratulate you...

Don't give a bleep.


It's confirmed already. It was in the naval documentary. Same way the M-346FA were in the Airforce documentary but you denied.

jl115:
read the link my bru

Please can someone read the link? I've read this thing and I didn't see anywhere the Nigerian Airforce was quoted to say that the CH-3A performed poorly for us.

Seems you have a problem with English comprehension. You can't differentiate between quotes and a web report.

jl115:
OK and? You ain't getting Frigates, m346s possibly since it's confirmed on Sipri which I said my self I would wait until they have updated there trade register...hell I even fvcking said I hope you get the m346s because they would be perfect replacements for the alpha jet....... Get your head out of the sand my bru

Shifting goal posts again?. I'll quote you when we get the Frigates. We currently getting corvettes but the Frigates are cooking up. Just like how the M-346FA cooked and suddenly blew sending you to an unending wailing and jealousy.

jl115:
yeah I mean how can I not be jealous of a third world sh1thole

You South Africans are jealous of everything. Jealous of even crack sellers on the streets of J'oburg.

P.S Nigeria ain't a shithole. SA is the true shithole. If there was a rape contest in the world, SA would never be defeated lol

jl115:
qoute the paragraph above it mate... Let me see something

Is any of the words in the report attributed to official words from the Airforce? The magazine tone of communication implies that they aren't even sure. They kept repeating "reports".

jl115:
case and point .... Got to respect the hypocrisy

Got to respect the undying envy

jl115:
here:

"Yabhon Flash-20s would replace the CH-3 armed UAVs acquired from China. One crashed in January 2015 and the type has apparently been problematic in Nigerian service. They have been armed with AR-1 missiles, and used to strike Boko Haram positions."

How amusing of you. I was expecting you to show me where the CAS was quoted saying that in his words but instead you quoted some garbage in, garbage out write up from an overzealous South African journalist as your proof.

Damn, this is so cheap.

jl115:
I know...maybe see how this discussion started before jumping in

You don't see SAns claiming to be "gaint" of anything especially when we are not

Exactly, you don't claim to be giants cos you're not.

But we're Giants, in our Kindergartens and all levels of education we're taught that. It's obvious that we're giants and we don't mind rubbing it on your faces.

jl115:
I've only praised your mrap projects and I've not even talked about your UAV projects.. Ever... Stop making up fantasies and claiming I said things I never did.

Also it's your own CAS that said they have preformed sub optimally and need to be replaced... Don't shoot the messenger

Also this isn't the strongest military thread, we've all agreed that what was said on that thread was all in jest!!

FYI I said Leonardo has not confirmed the m346 purchase.... That's what I said, stop crying and simply learn to read

This is you saying, "Nigeria is not getting the Jets and Frigates" lol.

Typical shifting of goals post.

jl115:
so why did your own CAS say they want to replace the Ch3 with flash 20s?

The CAS said he wanted us to purchase more UCAVs to bolster our inventory.
We aren't SA that is comfortable with sticking to one inoperable UAV since the early 2000s.

A CH 3A crashed. We always wanted the Yahbon flash and we purchased it. If the CH-3A were that bad for us, why did we get extras last year? We got made in Nigerian UAVs. At the Airforce Institute of Technology (AFIT), Kaduna, we have produced alot of Tsaigumi and we're still testing the Ichoku combat UAV.
I know you will say that our locally built combat drone is takin too long to be fully operational but I remember when we started building APCs, when you used to diss Henry240, and Agaugust. You claimed that the project ain't going anywhere but look at us today.

Remembered how you talked ill on the recent purchase of the M-346FA. Claiming that we got no deals with the Italians but look at us today.

You've always been clouded with insecurity and hate for the Nigerian people. We're all here to appreciate each other militaries but you still have the mentality of the Nairaland Civil War, where we argued endlessly on who had the strongest military in Africa.

Stop living in the past. Everyone has moved on but you haven't lol. That's so lame.

jl115:
according to your CAS not me

Lol. Proof? You're known to misinterpret things to suit yourself.

jl115:
- 7 CH-3A - 1 down.... And have been performing poorly hence why they are being replaced
- 4 CH-4
- 2 Winglong
- 1 Yahbon flash 20 not 40

What do you mean performing poorly? We just ordered some CH 3A last year alongside the CH4 and wing loong.

Envy is a terrible thing

jl115:
at least 6 were ordered in 2016....however the actual number is undisclosed

We got atleast 15 and the actual numbers undisclosed

Kids with Xpensive and dangerous toys

Exactly lol

SuperSixSeven:
Do you have any source for this?

Yeah. I got a guy in the Ship House. He actually said this in March.

DryMouth:
Mugu.
What is there to google when i always watch american military shows on youtube and facebook.

Try dey upgrade. Only one steath attack plane is better than 100 AH-1z but your forefathers has deceived you into think with your archaic mind.

I'm off to work bloody bastard

I don't expect you to comprehend. You're called Drymouth for a reason lol. Dumb fool.

Why do I care if you're off to work? Telling me makes you feel validated? Lol

Faithful007:
Let's weigh the pros and cons

First of all, Nigeria does not produce any, so military equipment in Nigeria is generally foreign controlled. Either America, EU, Russia or China.

Mixing up a fleet has proven to be ineffective, cost prohibitive and detrimental in the long run. So buying from all countries to cook up soup in your airbases is a foolish option to start with.

America and EU pros
Tested equipment battle proven and Reliable
Counter terror mutual interest
Economic sanction free

Russia pros
Reliable as well
Good alternative to anti westerners

China pros
Cheap equipment
little to no control

America cons
Legislature and congress control due to democracy
Can be pricy due to high labor costs

Russia cons
Putin control (A lot you may not know here)
Economic sanction prone
Less counter terror mutual interest

China cons
May not be reliable
Little counter terror mutual interest.

Seems the Egyptians will need your advice on mixing up a fleet lol.

I know you're Pro-American. You believe that Uncle Sam is always right. You believe yall the good guys but I tell you what, Have you ever seen Russia and China interfering in the internal politics of a country uninvited??
E.g. The Syrians invited the Russians, who invited America?
These are some of the things people weigh.

Look at the terms we was given when trying to purchase the A 29s initially. The Americans didn't want to share deep technical knowledge with us. Does Russia apply all those terms?

Look at Pakistan. How the Americans always come to check out the F16s. Did China give Pakistan those terms and conditions for the J10?
Look, the Americans don't see us as equal partners especially us in the developing world. They see us as "kids".

When you say Russian equipment are economic sanction prone, I hope you meant prone to American sanctions cos Putin isn't the one known to sanction people and will you like to explain what you meant by Putin being controlling?

You're a funny dude for saying American equipment is economic sanctions free.
You're literally saying "Buy American equipment or get sanctioned by us for not buying ours". Even when you buy, they sanction your country if the politics in your country is not going in their favour.

kabe1:
I don't think it's this Russian war that spoilt stuff. Although this war has put a nail on Russia's coffin and slammed it shut with regards to military procurement.

If you remember correctly, Nigeria has been chasing the Super Tucano since the administration of former President Yar'Adua.

Including attempts by President GEJ to purchase American helicopters from Israel.

It's been a long time coming. Really Nigerian pilots want to fly American.

Exactly. Nigeria has always been interested in the F 16 too. We might just be flying those birds in half a decade. It's probable but I hope not. I want atleast the Chinese J-10C.

The Americans might have the "best" equipment but the worst Terms and conditions for developing countries. We can't risk making our entire airforce Americanised . Just a slight going against their will and our entire airforce would be grounded.

Just facts, no pun.

But the opp block are gonna take it as pun lol

YoruEnglish:
Old one be dis nah from RAMBO MOVIE.

The one in Rambo is AH 1. This is upgraded, it's AH-1Z

DryMouth:
Your father is a bastard.
Keep glorifying rubbish

Why don't you Google it and come back na? Foolish pig always commenting before thinking.

DryMouth:
Your father is a bastard.

My father can't be a Bastard nope it can't and I won't insult your dad cos even him don tire for your matter. You're just a dumb IPOB bigoted pig.

DryMouth:
No offence but iffa tear you slap ehn..

What you are showing me here is AH-1z viper which is old and outdated. It is slow and can carry not more that 4 missiles. That is is not any where in the first 100 best attack helicopters.

It is also not anywhere near its successor AH-1z apache.

Abeg e be like say nigerian govt pay you to lie for us

You're a bloody Bastard. Bye. Thought you were updated in modern warfare.

Don't you have Google?? If you have anything against Buhari, go and meet him. We got a modern chopper here used by the American marines but you still complaining with your bloody dumb fuckin mouth.

Check my previous posts i don't normally insult people but you're a bloody Bastard to be a coward and traitor to your country. How dare you say that the AH 1z cobra is not top 10? Are you okay? Browse the top 10 combat helicopters. You'll just be typing before thinking. You're a bloody fuckin jerk.

There is nothing like AH 1z Apache. It's AH 64 apache. Check it and come back foool.

kabe1:
I really don't know how I feel about this purchase. We are tying a huge percentage of our military air capabilities to American control.

Well, nobody will say President Buhari is not investing in security.

This Russian war spoilt alotta stuff but people in the helms might not believe in the capability of the Chinese platforms.

Nigerian flyboys wanna fly American.

kabe1:
The Akinci is a far more advanced version, one of the best UCAVs in the market.

This has officially confirmed Nigeria as the UCAV gaint of Africa

Shots fired.

kabe1:
Breaking News N

This is another confirmation that we have concluded plans and delivery would soon begin for the M-346F/A aircraft for the Nigerian Air Force.

There also seems to be evidence that Nigeria would also receive Bayraktar TB-2 Drones.

It's the Akinci. The advanced version of the Barkytar
