white (Caucasian )nigeria air force pilot flying Mi-24/35 helicopter gunship

Fidha254:
Now you have reasulted in hiding behind technicalities..... a whole spec ops team was kicking down doors and shooting on nigerian soil and you are here hiding behind 'they were not leading' seriously....
what happened in that mission is even worse than the incident outside US embassy entrance....
and who said they took over? I have already shown that earlier the kenyan team took there ecidence long b4 the FBI even showed up... i postt the pic again below..

So a president can loose his seat if someone manages to snap a pic of foreign troops raiding a house with assault riffles (whether they were leading the assault or not), just for the sake of the pride and ego of the people... but he cant loose his seat when militants are blowing up pipelines on a serial level running down the economy?

maybe this seems amusing to you becuase different countries like ours have come up under different atmospheres...... kenya has not been under any military rule where the govt in charge needs to look firm and in control to gain respect of the people and the army generals...... and this eventually gets in the psyc of the people that a govt must always look firm even when they fail to do their job of protecting citizens....historically most political strugles involved fighting the government itself.... people over hear have no hate for the chinies or the brits or the americans, or the israelis or the russians.... as far as we are concerned we dont really have recentments towards any of them ...... our enemis are internal and local... An FBI helping conduct investigation....not really the worst thing to happen... but alshabaab actively occupied a territory in kenya , now that will make people go crazy

Amateur video taken at a restaurant at the mall has shown scores of empty beer bottles after the siege, apparently the remnants of a drinking binge by the Kenyan soldiers. Alcohol stocks at other restaurants were also depleted

africaken254:
we love them all mossad,MI6,CIA ,FBI at least we have the disciple force that doesn't consume alcohol in the front line while on duty.dress according to regulation and groom ourselves even while on the front line

Terrain masking is simply hiding behind terrain features.

"Terrain masking" is a means of avoiding active radar by positioning the aircraft so that there is natural earth hiding it from the radio waves sent by the radar system. This technique is used by military pilots to fly to their target stealthily, using the topography to mask their approach from detecting radar microwaves.

basically it is achieved by flying through low elevations, keeping the higher elevations between you and whatever you don't want looking at you. These detectors could be radar, lasers, IR cameras, or humans.

A primary advantage is that the detectors mentioned above can't pinpoint your position. These detectors are usually associated with things that can hurt you, so staying out of sight (or out of line-of-sight of their weapons) increases your life expectancy.

Other advantages include:
1.You present more of a fleeting target.
2.Not many other aircraft are going to come down and try to tangle with you.
3.Your target has a harder time seeing you coming.
4.Radar-guided weapons have difficulty picking your image out from the ground clutter.

A primary disadvantage is that you need to fly really low to hide behind terrain features. Since the ground has a near 100% probability of killing you if you run into it while traveling at speed, this can often offset the advantages of hiding from something shooting at you with a worse kill probability.

Other disadvantages include:
1.You tend to burn more gas when flying low.
2.You can't see as far.
3.You're in range of a LOT more stuff that can hurt you. MANPADS, AAA, even an AK47
4.Bird hits
5.You don't have as much room to maneuver.
6.If you have an emergency (like an engine flame out), you have fewer options and less time to sort it out. (The first response is usually to climb and then get killed from whom ever you were trying to hide from in the first place )


This is also called "flying under the radar." Because of the curvature of the earth there is a maximum distance that a ground based, line-of-sight radar can detect a low flying target. Beyond that distance, the target would literally be flying under the radar waves. What further complicates the problem is "ground clutter." The radar return from trees, buildings, and just the ground will obscure the low flying airborne target. It gets lost in all 'clutter' of those many radar returns other than the aircraft.

as far as i am concerned Nap-of-the-earth, Terrain masking , flying under the radar are interchangeable since they serve the same purpose. fighter jets fitted with Terrain-following radar (TFR) are only capable of doing the above . eg rafale

certain military helicopters also have terrain-following radar. Due to their lower speed and high maneuverability, helicopters are normally able to execute terrain masking better fixed wing aircraft.

regarding the osama raid , some sort of stealth helicopter was used , but it was limited , because helicopters with their moving rotors are inherently not stealthy. they are also not completely radar evading due to the above reason.
US probably employed EW assets like Prowlers and Growlers to jam / blind the Pakistani radars (Chinese). me thinks it is entirely possible that US also switched off/disabled the radars (US supplied) .
the helicopters then used terrain masking to ingress into Pakistan , unobserved visually / electronically .

Pakistan assets r deployed mainly in the east and still there are gaps , MIG25s used to breach their airspace ( up to Afghanistan border ) on a regular basis sometimes to spook them they would turn on their afterburners and climb to max altitude and go supersonic. they could do nothing.

China to unveil unmanned bomber aircraft at Airshow China 2016

I wonder what they'll name this one

ssaengine:
Again...their nationality is irrelevent. It is on Nigerian soil. 100% Nigerian operation. So the British would allow Nigeria to send a special forces unit to London, if a Nigerian was ever caught up in a hostage situation that side? Um...nope! Not never. Not ever.

You were grandstanding over a handfull of armed Americans on Kenyan streets, that time the Brits have sent an entire SF unit during live operations on Nigerian soil.

almost missed this question

will do an write up later

Fidha254:
Why?
I think the ethiopians have the Su27 and the eritreans operate mig 29s. but they have been stealing each others aircraft since the war started so you never know who has what in what quantity anymore

Terrain masking refers to a method of avoiding detection by radar, typically early warning radars or surface-to-air missiles. Essentially it consists of having the aircraft fly close enough to the ground that local terrain like hills and valleys block the line of sight between the aircraft and the radar, rendering the aircraft invisible.
It is important as a means of avoiding active radar by positioning the aircraft so there is natural earth hiding it from the radio waves sent from the radar system. For instance, suppose a radar transmitter is installed on a hill to monitor an area. If there was a sufficiently deep nearby valley, an aircraft flying near the bottom would not be detected because the radar would be absorbed by the top of the valley and not reach the aircraft. This concept works even on flat terrain, although only at longer ranges, due to the curvature of the earth.

for u i have a special twist in the behind enemy lines plot

u parachute straight into a village where the menfolk r away fighting

the syrian womenfolk take out their pent up frustration on the unfortunate enemy pilot tdayof

ur obituary will be something like this .....

gallent tdayof pilot of F16 shot down over syria...............
ejected safely...
..........
sorry to inform he was not KIA (killed in action)
but KIP (killed in pleasure)..... fought to the very last breath in keeping withe highest traditions of.......
......may the same fate befall every drowned pilot amen

when the film credits r running
a village in Syria will be shown with 20 little tdayof lookalikes running about with a heading "7 years later"



damn i could have been a script writer

nemesis2u:
comedy script ?



thank ur gods that u were not flying that jet , otherwise u would be laughing ur way to kiss the ground with a bang

it topic cropped up during a discourse

dont have a link , u have to google it.

IT SEEMS ON AUGUST 2015 AN IAF F16SOUFA WAS SHOT DOWN OVER SYRIA BY AN S300 SYSTEM

it was not reported by western media.

the way it shot down the jet is very interesting and as far as i am concerned is possible.

first an SA-9 and an SA-2 was fired.
this was only a ruse to occupy the ECM of the F16, the F16 ECM as expected initiated its counter measures to the incoming SAMs.

basically what the Syrians did was to get the F16 jammers (PART OF ECM) attention by illuminating it with older generation SAMs and as expected the F16s jammers prioritized these (less potent) threats starting with the closest one when a missile was fired from the S300 ,
lol
the S300 shot down the jet.
It is a classical case of HONEY TRAPPING via false (low potency) threats, with concurrent overwhelming of the defensive system so that the end game (high potency) missile gets its kill with high probability.

nice way to set and spring a trap especially for an Israeli jet - no easy task. guess the Russians were behind it.

Israeli PM after this had flown to Russia , and agreed not to breach Syrian airspace

Bethelwealthy:
I, bethelwealthy, was on board NNS akpabana on the day it was commissioned, i even ate whole chicken in the gally, a B-Class war ship bought by Jonathan. I saw the delivery of 3 others like NNS Thunder, NNS Centinary and the most recent, NNS Unity, all are war ships of high callibre, bought from USA and China. I was also witness to the Purchase of Mine-sweepers, Fast Attack crafts, amphibious air attack crafts and so many...........Let Buhari's military continue to lie. But records dont lie.
when they are done looking for a $2.2b that is not missing, the whole truth about the security vote, which Jonathan has the right to share will finally come out.
To some of us, we know what really happened, to others, Lies matter.

sagitariusbaby:
[s]Anytime good Goodluck Jonathan goes to any international community and makes a sound and excellent speech, all these Sai Babarians parading the streets of zukerville will start having heart attack. You know why? OK let me tell you.....
Their demi god Buhari left office in 1985, from 1985 to 2015 that's 30yrs no international community invited him to speak.
Between 2015 to 2016 Buhari has made at least 10 international trips, there is no place Buhari has gone to without disgracing either himself, his family, or Nigerians at large.

So anywhere you see a Sai Babarian hating on Jonathan's international speeches and recognition, just pity him and move on, I understand their predicament.
Name one country Buhari has gone to without disgracing us as a
country, just one.[/s]
