Covert1: Lunacy is when you think nairaland is a place to be important or show importance. Its self evident in your retort you are not in the intelligent quotient of my audience. Ignorance can be delusional.
Fork off with your false sense of importance already. You daft boy
Covert1: Thank you. I think you need to comprehend the post first then come back and retype some sense. Nothing is ignorant, stupid and or retarded in my comments. I chose my words carefully. Every word has a meaning. The NAF is not the USAF. But the USAF is now adopting the approach of the NAF to counter low-level threats. The only draw back of the Tucanos is it's slow speed otherwise is as advanced as any 4th generation fighter in the USAF. Facts don't kill even it's to the detriment of Nigeria I'll say it. Nigeria is not stupid to go invading Morocco or Algeria with propeller driven aircrafts alone. So the stupidity is in your post. By the way get some self esteem. Insults don't give self confidence.
Propeller or horsedriven aircraft, it's a stupid analogy you drew up. so yes you are more stupid than I actually give you credit for and no it's not an insult.
Covert1: Jake no scaremongering here. Am saying with the full spectrum of Air assets some of which are yet to be delivered the NAF can be of contest in any air space in the region. By integration you synthesize combat roles & sorties, information sharing & analysis etc. About early warning, in today's warfare you might just be blind as radar might be your life or death. Modern Air Forces invest a lot in Air Intel assets for advantage and in that we excel far above those countries you mentioned. How do ELINT compliant aircrafts transmit co-ordinates? The Tucanos come in under cover from air-superiority jets or better still when you have gained air space control. Stand off is an option. Pls stop mentioning Morocco and Tunisia. Warfare is not only MiGs, Sukhoi's and F-16s. You won't even see some of those birds take off when we invade. Just ask the Ukraine Air Force against Russian backed rebels. Saudi Arabia and it's allies are still bombing Yemen with 4th generation jets and advanced helicopters yet the Houthi's are still holding Sanaa the capital and making mince meat of the Saudis. The Army didn't go AWOL. Artillery and Armoured forces are game changers. The infantry is still the queen of the battle. In the end who captures, secures and holds ground wins.
You type intelligently but most times you make the most stupid and retarde.d points. You type stupid stuff with a lot of vehemence. maybe it's ignorance or just good ol sheer stupidity in abundance.
A bunch of prop airplanes that can talk and bark in the skies and you feel NAF has been upgraded to USAF status? listen Captain Nigeria, don't go fooling around in your tucanos with the Moroccans or Algerians because those shiny tucanos would be blown all over the Sahara. Regardless of whatever electronic orishirishi you feel they possess
Covert1: You are not only crude but also lost. I laugh in Chinese. U are here touting SA "holding brigade sized exercises cos it can" not comprehending the prism why we question it. SA can, really? Because u watch too much TV or YouTube or of course their pics, seeing them move what looks like an Army in open field shooting blanks. Some of them here won't see the light cos of national pride still others are here I know, know the truth but won't wash their dirty linen in public like u.
Let me give u some intelligence on the present state of SA' military: SANDF present capabilities exists on paper. South Africa's military lacks the capacity to mount credible lethal offensive for a decisive victory in combat. This is an Army it's soldiers coming under live fire in Sudan didn't want to be anywhere near it. I can give u more but I'll leave it here. U can challenge it as usual with no intellectual or empirical proof as usual because of cause u want to be heard.
Covert1: Gentlemen the unanswered question is what threats does South Africa face that warrants it holding brigade sized exercises?
I hope we can allow for intellectual reasoning
There is a consensus among experts that South Africa post apartheid does not face any threat of external aggression. There is no existential threat against SA territorial integrity and national sovereignty.
South Africa does not face any threat from it's neighbors or any African country or beyond. Nigeria is not invading SA anytime soon
Try get small shame na Typical nigerian cut from the same cloth as our ruling class. Lazy thinkers and slow planners.
Since SA faces no threat they should disband the military and rely on luck and God for protection like we do in nigeria.
Im sure if nigeria holds brigade sized exercises every weekend you would come to this thread and masturbate about it.
CAMNEWTON4PRES: Some of you should start feeding your IDPs living in Borno and relocation those living in Kamer before talking of a regime change in a better organized,more powerful country like Cameroon . See me citizens of an unstable country (from Boko to pipeline bombers to Fula herdsmen ) talking about the supposedly threatening instability of Cameroon ... lmfao if there should be an instability in Cameroon post Biya (which is very unlikely to happen ) Nigeria will just suck it up like we sucked it up during Biafra absorbing millions of Nigerians ,the same way we do with car citizens and Chadians and the same way we are doing with Nigerians . Anyone dreaming about funding groups to remove Biya or any other president simply does not love himself and his brethren... you might twist it the way you want but bakassi is very fresh reminder of what will happen again should Nigeria try to grab anything from us talk less about funding terrorism on our soil ,not only we will outflank your obsolete army but we will dine in Lagos and Abuja in less than 2weeks while sending. Buhari to Yaoundé in a cage with chains around his neck and ankles
lionel4power: what is incorrect here? As.sli.cking aside am i not correct? we have more trainers and transport planes than the whole west African air force combined. Instead of your men to reason objectively they just jumped into the attack. Its so predictable. Even the Air force guys don't defend the Air Force as much as they do.
lionel4power: Its quite hilarious how some of our Nigerian fellows defend the military here on Nairaland like this their fathers compound. Any resemblance of truth or objectiveness is quickly attacked like sharks smelling blood. Well i don't comment or post for anybody to like. i just say what i observe on ground kowai.
You must tow the line of complacency. well some of us don't feel like worshiping mediocrity.
whenever the military decides to act right then they'll earn my respect.
When we have a decent AIR DEFENCE Aircraft or Surface to air system then i can recognize them. pssst 11 F7 junks, mig 21 clones. go to Chinese war museum and see dozens of them lined up for show. air defence fighters my foot. , mediocrity more like it
lionel4power: am not venting any anger.. i clearly state what is on ground.
What baffles me is how you guys ignore my other post that commend the armed force yet you dive any post i make that criticize our military. or is criticism no allowed anymore.
kenpaul0: All Nigerians in here supporting this nonsense should just stop it!!!!!! The Nigerian Military does not have the military might to take on all these countries...Hell, we may not even win a war against our neighbors chad!!!! We need to humble ourselves and slowly rebuild our capacity and not run around bragging!!!
Lol this is one argument I would love to be part of but I'm excercising a maximum level of restraint.
Someone even said Nigeria is the NATO of Africa Sounds like something out of DC Comics Joker script.
kabe1: No Sir, no Nigerian unit fires the 5.45 ammo. Nigerian commandos from the Navy and Air force, also to a lesser extent the Army, all of those who use the Tavor-21 use the 5.56 ammo.
All other Nigerian units, including the AFSF, Regular Infantry and Mobile Strike Force use the 7.62mm in their rifles or carbines.
The chances of the Nigerian military using the 5.45 is so small, it is virtually non-existent. Hence my conclusion that rifle could only be the AK-103.
You told giles14 to shut up for being ignorant on the other thread
Now you shattap and do your research before passing false tales as facts just to sound intelligent
giles14: den let d IOCs and NOCs come out and tell the people.
but dat will not still stop d IOC and NOC from fulfilling it's CSR such as water schools feeder roads,etc there is no excuse
When you keep kidnapping contractors on site, and making absurd demands before projects that would be beneficial to your community are executed or ask for monetary value instead of infrastructures truly there is no excuse. I would love to educate you on this subject, but this is not the place. Bye
So 9ja delta insurgency end for marine Base, Waterside and Ateke house for okirika?
You see ur laif...
Which kind cotton wool u fix for ur brain this night?
Anyway, I don drop my yarn. If u like abuse my mother join...
Catholic no end for Rome, but once you mention Rome catholics go relate, cos na there the ododoyon dey. How you take understand the area when you never touch marine base or jetty
Henry240: You jst dey yarn dust. I no no where u carry dese tori come 4rm. We dey ground wella when militants no wan make we rest for Niger-Delta. We carry our hands up pass check-point.

I swear you get time. The guy just wan form "i belong" make we allow am shine
Henry240: Rugged7 seems to be living in some fancy dreamland. Oil companies both local and international all have CLOs (Community Liaison Officers) whose job are to see that their host communities are well attended to.
The funny thing is the idiot.s keep selling their employment slot to non-indigenes.
rugged7: I don't completely agree with u there. I was present in the delta when it was very hot and actively interacted with these chaps in the bush. Do u think its easy to sleep in the bush with mosquitoes the size of your fist? These chaps just want to live a normal life. A lot of them are actually educated. You can see his English is not bad. They want to be able to take care of their families. They see the oil companies as part of the problem, who are unwilling to be part of the solution. The oil companies connive with the government to keep the area underdeveloped because it serves their purpose and provides huge security budgets for European and American ex-army chaps. If I can't fish because of gas and oil flared by oil companies I can't go to school because my father can't make money from fishing to send me to school I watch my uncles die because no hospitals exist there Of course I will carry weapons against the oil companies and the state. That's a given.
Bros, if you believe oil companies are not employing them or making efforts towards their welfare currently then the reality is over your head.
Even if you empty the federation account into their pockets they won't stop this kidnapping, the Niger delta struggle has been hijacked by mainly Iceland cultists, they would rather carry guns in the creeks than do a honest job. It's no use just keep bombing them.
In the case of crude oil theft/bunkery(kpó fire) they are being aided by Nigerian security forces most times. Stop going after vandals and go after corrupt officers.
LTGEN: As Mr Henry has shown there are at least three active communications Systems which most likely have 'Frequency jumping system", These are some of the indirect procurements that were made after May 2015 I will not go the Political route. For those who want to believe no equipment was bought since 2015, good luck to you.The irony in the truth is the lack of attention to proper procurement has in the long term made Nigeria a better Country procurement wise. Things take much longer to procure because of the vetting process , but eventually it gets done, case in point the communication logistics.
Funny, people also want us to believe no equipment was bought BEFORE May 2015.
You paid marketers can keep coming here to praise and reply yourselfs, LOL Truth is techno is SHITTE!!! No matter how hard you try to shove it down our throats.
