You do know it costs $ 40,000 to fly the flanker every hour?
Didn't know. How much does it cost to fly the JF17?

Can't we please increase our military spending from 0.4 of our GDP to 1%?

Deliveries depends on how well we can mobilize. I don't think any would be faster than any when funds are available.

Why do you want an SU-27?
Because it's a flanker.

They would all fly combat sorties. "Like what's the use of a military aircraft if you can't mount guns on it? " cool
I think if we go for the yak , they'll arrive soon and faster than going for the L15
I think it boils down to those guys at the top if they're in need of new aircrafts.

Moreover, I wish we could get some units of SU27

Henry24o:
The Yak-130 is currently the world's best trainer-light attack-aircraft. However I chose the L-15 which is also a sister aircraft of the Yak-130 and an excellent platform because it is unlikely that we would go for the Yak-130.

The L-15 is the next best thing to the Yak-130. We've been buying Chinese, F-7 and JF-17, so the L-15 or the FTC-2000 seems like the choices we might go for.


Zambian Air Force L-15
I trust NAF to make those jets fly combat sorties at times.

indiscriminate use against civilians ?

cant place jammers everywhere
Reason why I said large units. Can be included among a convoy.

DJI doesn't operate on same frequency band with mobile phones so it won't affect the civilians.

Nigerian Navy Foils Attacks on Two Oil Tankers, Frees 21 Crew
WorldStage Newsonline-- Nigerian Navy Ship OKPABANA today rescued an oil tanker, MT GAZ PROVIDENCE with 21 crew members which came under pirate attack yesterday off Bonny Island, River State.

According to a statement by Navy Captain Suleman Dahun, Acting Director of Information, the rescued ship upon encountering the pirates sent a distress call which prompted the Nigerian Navy to dispatch NNS OKPABANA to rescue her.

“As at today 1:30 pm, NNS OKPABANA personnel have boarded the rescued oil tanker to investigate and gather information on the failed hijack attempt,” the statement said.

In a related development, the statement said personnel of the Nigerian Navy Ship VICTORY also repelled a pirate attack on an oil tanker MT RIO SPIRIT.

“The pirates attempted to hijack the oil tanker after she loaded products from QUA IBOE terminal and sailed 110 nautical miles south of Akassa in Delta State where the incident took place. Not mindful of the fact that the vessel was under security cover by the operatives of the Nigerian Navy who were onboard a security vessel, the assailants swooped on MT RIO SPIRIT in an attempt to hijack her. The Nigerian Navy operatives repelled the attack and secured the route of the vessel. Not deterred, the pirates made another spirited effort to hijack MT RIO SPIRIT 30 minutes after the first attempt which was also repelled. However, she was successfully escorted to safety as she continued her voyage,” the statement said.

“Furthermore, a patrol team deployed by Nigerian Navy Ship DELTA has discovered and destroyed 8 illegal refineries around Osiagbene Creek in Ogbeletobo Community of Warri South West LGA of Delta State. The items destroyed in the raid include 15 metal tanks laden with about 130MT of product suspected to be illegally refined AGO and about 200MT of substance suspected to be stolen crude oil.

“Additionally, an anti-crude oil theft patrol team deployed by NNS PATHFINDER conducted patrols of creeks and waterways in their area of operations. During the patrol, the team raided 3 illegal refineries in which unspecified quantity of illegally refined AGO and stolen crude oil were destroyed around Bille Community in Rivers State. Similarly, the team raided 6 active illegal refining sites around Bille/Kalabari axis. About 45 metric tons of suspected illegally refined AGO and steel tanks with unspecified quantity of stolen crude oil were also destroyed.

“In view of the foregoing, the Nigerian Navy once again wishes to reiterate its determination to combat criminalities in the nation’s waters and ensure a safe and conducive atmosphere for legitimate maritime operators

Nigerian Navy Foils Attacks on Two Oil Tankers, Frees 21 Crew
The Nigerian navy foiled two pirate attacks on oil tankers on Wednesday in the country’s Atlantic waters and freed 21 crew members, the military said.

Troops intercepted a vessel, the MT Gaz Providence, seized by pirates a day earlier near Bonny Island, rescuing 21 crew members, Suleman Dahun, the navy’s spokesman, said in an e-mailed statement. They also stopped gunmen from boarding another tanker, the MT Rio Spirit, which had picked up cargo from the Qua Iboe Terminal run by Exxon Mobil Corp.’s local unit.

Nigeria’s Atlantic waters have been identified by the International Maritime Bureau as one of the major hot spots of piracy where vessels should stay at least 200 nautical miles from the coast.

Seven Russian nationals and one Ukranian were seized in Nigerian waters when pirates attacked their vessel, the BBC Caribbean, the Russian embassy in Abuja said in a tweet on Tuesday.

Moreover, I saw a video of his arrival in Nigeria in which he said "Well, you've seen me and I hope you saw me when I was going. Use your sense of judgement"

The vintage photo below features a man drawing a gun as he prepares to engage in a duel, while a group of bystanders look on - but where is his adversary?
The opponent will soon need to reveal himself so that the action can begin, but for the time being he remains invisible. It's even more difficult to see him blending into the background because of the black and sepia toned image. Were you able to spot him in the illusion?

any nation weaponry will do provided it is technically feasible,
but integrating chinese will be impossible due to security reasons .

also it is impossible to generalize things with naval ships.

eg.

chinese/pakistan AZMAT class FAC have eight C-802 ASHMs

now people dont ask the question is how will the targets be detected and also from where will the initial targeting data arrive from in order for the missiles to get close to their targets so as to get a positive target lock from the missile sensors itself .

these crafts will stay close to the coastline and take off the board targeting data from coastal radars and MPAs in order to calculate the fire solutions and launch their missiles . without external help these ships will have to come very close to targets near to 40-50 km where the onboard sensors can get a lock . or the missiles will be launched in "maddog" format will very low kill probabilty.
either way independent survability/effectiveness is low due to lack of on board sensors.

my point being putting missiles on a ship does not make it powerful , there has to be a fine balance between sensors and weapons and the operational requirements/capacity inorder to make a ship powerful.

u can go the same way as the Algerians chinese hull and weapons and western sensors
@chkil will be able to provide more details.


Myanmar however in their stealth frigate designed with Indian help and with indian sensors has chinese weapons / sensors .

as i said nothing can be said it depends on the governments .
Yes. That's what I'm saying. Can we design our ships and have their avionics, sensors ,weapons and others integrated to be from India?
Moreover seems your avionics , weapons are more expensive compared to those from the west.

the kamorta ASW corvette actually its tonnage is that of a frigate . it was selected as the 1st choice for the Philippines frigate requirement but lost to the Koreans due to financial reasons .

weapons and sensors can be fitted as required.

there is saryu OPV whose tonnage is actually larger for her class.

shivalik class

etc

there is no such things as export ready ships , it depends on the governments and the shipyards, they can export any ship with suitable modifications as per requirements provided they own the IPRs.

there is the Next Generation Missile Vessels (NGMVs) anti-surface warfare Corvettes to be armed with brahmos etc.
if any govt is smart and looks to save money they can join in its development.

but these corvettes will be expensive as they r state of the art and their sensors and weapons also cost a heft sum.
1 single brahmos costs 3+ million dollars.
Bia, carry your frigate dey go. 3+ mill USD for a missile? shocked Can't we use different missile systems on it?
Chinese, Denel, etc?
