Internet fanboy.

Your question is of no need. Why compare the F-7 to a rafale??

Henry240:
We did not use those Jaguars, they were practically useless to the Nigerian Air Force. Jaguars are ground attack aircrafts with no Radar, and we bought 18 of them.

The F-7NI is an upgraded, Multi-role aircraft, we bought 15 of them, although a couple units have been lost to crashes. Which isn't unexpected when you realize the Nigerian Air Force is the most active Air Force south of the Sahara.

The Alpha jets are an affordable option, hence the requirement to apply them more than the F-7.

The problem with some of you Nigeria's is as a result of a low-self esteem and a complete lack of self worth.

Nigerian Security Forces are deployed in 9 African countries besides our own. We are also very well equipped to deal with the security challenges we have faced since the 1960s. We are not a Giant of Africa, because we say so, we are a Giant of Africa because we have consistently proven so.

The guy just wan do follow. Inferiority complex at its best.

Airborne360:
Let me quote you baba
"The reality of the matter is that Nigeria has little to no air defense systems that you know of because such information is not available to you,our Roland's are outdated and I don't know any other air defense system "
Next time don't beat you chest over what you have limited knowledge about.

Shikena baba

we have it but it's secret even to the manufacturers who publish records of sales of such sophistication

lionel4power:
stop the insults bro.


you are better

lionel4power:
Showdown! you guys should stop this bickering.

Those guys comparing Iraqi airforce with the COALITION during the Operation DEsert Storm should understand that Saddam Hussein while fearing his Airforce (because the Iraqi Airforce has a history of disobedience and rebellion) told them to bury their jets or send them over to Iran. HE WARNED THEM NOT TO FIGHT, BELIEVING THAT THE US CIA HAS BRIBED THEM

Personally I believe that the iraqis could really hurt the Coalition if they wanted to, as of then the Iraq military was the best in middle east and some of Europe.

ANYWAY MOVING ON...

we all know that NIGERIAN ARMED FORCES AND THE SOUTH AFRICAN ARMED FORCES ARE HIGHLY EQUIPPED FOR THEIR CURRENT THREATS.

South africa is burdened with having the busiest sealanes in the world so as such she requires real naval muscles vis her frigates.


.

Nigeria is saddled with pirates in her coast so she has sufficient OPVs as required.

.
THE PROBLEM IN YOUR ARGUMENT IS THAT YOU GUYS ARENT ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTION.


.
What about tomorrows crises or conflict?

.
YES NIGERIA has enough systems to cover todays war marginally what about TOMORROW?

.
our south african brothers has enough firepower to quench any threat now and tomorrow. that is a forward way of thinking it shows sound planning.


.
both our armed forces took an oath to protect our countries constitution and integrity from both EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL THREATS. the difference between us and the south africans, algerians, morrocans, egyptian, sudanese, tunisians is that THEY WENT FURTHER TO REINFORCE THEIR DEFENCE While we feel comfortable to sit and dwell in our current posture.



SOME people here feels like they are more 'patriotic' than others forgetting that 'patriotism' cannot be quantified. at the end of the day whether GOOD or BAD its on us.

THERES ALWAYS 3 SIDES TO A STORY; YOUR SIDE, MY SIDE AND THE TRUTH.

Unfortunatly, your Military History needs to be polished

Iraq had one of the finest militaries in the world at the time, during the ten year war against Iran (which had finised ~2 years before GW 1) they had received some of the finest training and equipment BOTH the West and the East had to offer.

The Iraqi airforce had extensive experience in Air-to-Air combat, doding SAM's and attacking well defended positions.

Their SAM crews had extensive experience shooting down Iranian jets and dealing with Iranian SEAD and EW

They Iraqi army of 1990 was extensivly experienced, very well equipped, but poorly trained.
The American army of 1990 was extensivly trained and well equipped, but poorly experienced.

The Americans, as we all know, wiped the floor with the Iraqi's.

Pointless gibberish.

...And here I was, expecting an intelligent rebuttal.

Henry240:
You seem to have an advanced degree in kissing South-African arse.

Anyway, as it suits you.

There is nothing false in my comment. All I stated are the facts in the news report.

chike00:
i agree with the bolded all through. but you must know his arguments aint little and its making coming to this thread tiresome. i have been a frequent observer for years(right after the days of beegeagle) i know how to sieve out bull*hit. but not when everybody seems to be scared of telling him the truth hence leading to pages of banters instead of information worth sharing.

Odunayaw:
The NPF CTU was actually created to be a replica and where trained home & abroad (Israelis)
And they have been active in the N.E

but the SAPS STF has that distinction in skills that the CTU shld go seeking for
