One has arrived.

Small small one air force is taking shape after 16 years of bastardisation.

All the 3 have arrived.

SeaTrade:
I don't think those Jf-17 thunder from Pakistan have arrived Nigeria yet.
There is a misinformation somewhere.

Have you been living under the rock

Valkrie:
The fact is that in Nigeria..anything is capable of happening...no smoke without fire they say....!!

"There is no smoke without fire" has to be the most disingenuous fallacy I've heard in a long time.

In our world today, some people sit in their ivory tower and create fake news to spread panic. That news is one of those fake news. Boko Haram don't even need Armoured Personnel Carriers, just give them Hilux and they are good to go.

demolition:

Don't be a sadist bro. Enjoy the show sometimes.

Some of you just throw words around without evaluating their gravity, smh.

demolition:

Nobi juju be that?

Don't tell me you believe this ridiculously obvious fake news.

DubaiLandLord1:
Abeg people in the east, make Una dey give us update concerning UGM and the military jawe. They even clashed yesterday, but no news site report am.

Soldiers stormed a UGM camp yesterday in Enugu, but nothing have been heard concerning the attack.

Well it has been ending in tears for the Ungun Known Men.

Lurker4Long:
Sorry for the side-track. 350mb is big? How much do you guys pay for data nowadays?
I have uncapped fibre at home, with speeds of 200mbps down and 50mbps up, at ZAR600(16 737,37 naira) per month.

Data is ridiculously expensive in Nigeria. And we mostly pay for volume of data not speed.

BSsniffer:
People shouldn't be comfortable with the traditions of colonialists. Would you consider the sultan of sokoto a child of hate and perdition simply because he would have issues if sango worshippers brought their festival to sokoto.

Did Sango worshipper colonize Sokoto state? Was Sango worshipping introduced to Sokoto traditional practice at any point in history? The answer is "NO!"

It is perfectly okay to be comfortable with tradition of colonialists as long as it is a good one and it doesn't harm anyone. Who does the Durban in Kwara harm? Apparently, the infantile ego of children of hate and perdition.

They celebrate Christmas as if it was their forefathers tradition but can't handle a simple Durban that does not affect them in any shape or form. Can you spot the cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy?

BSsniffer:
Durba festival isn't a religious festival, even Christmas.

That is not the point! The point is they were both introduced by colonialists and embraced by locals. I'm from Kwara state. Myself and everybody love watching the Durban, only children of hate and perdition have issues with it.

Dpharisee:
Durba in Yorubaland is absurd and you even see descendants of Afonja going there to pledge allegiance to the invaders from Futa Jalon.
They defied the ban because they want to be sure of Yoruba loyalty with the current political events taking place in the South West.


The governor was installed by Sokoto Sultanate, the Emir is answerable to the Sultan and not the Governor

But Christmas in your land is not absurd? The cognitive dissonance!

kabe1:
Why do you think we need 24 UCAVs?

We are fighting deadly and genocidal armed bandits in Niger, Kaduna, Katsina, Sokoto, Benue, Nasarawa, Jos, Kogi and pockets of other locations. We need to end them now.

kabe1:
More UCAVs, when we already have 8 units excluding the ones in service and the Yahbon flash 40?

If we can get at least 24 UCAVs, that would be perfect.

And we need another Air Force base in Borno, one that is very close to the center of all the hot zone. This base will only house UCAVs.

kabe1:
Following the successful delivery of this batch of Tucanos, what next for the Nigerian Air Force?

The Air Force were recently giving nearly 1 billion dollars in additional funding, different from the initial funding in 2021 budget.

This additional fund goes specifically to capital projects, no salaries.

What are we to expect?

Alpha Jets need to be replaced

Additional attack helicopters are required

Additional MI-17 helicopters are needed.

Light and medium tactical transport aircrafts also needed.

A minimum squadron of modern 4th Gen fighter jets are also needed.

So what would it be for NAF??

7 MI-35M

More UCAVs.

tron23:
This is nice oh...but just asking arent there any second F-16 fighter jets for sale in all of eastern Europe (UKRAINE, RUSSIA etc).They are more effective and can also be used for dealing with external aggressions effectively than these WWII planes. Haba.

Also, why cant we install or purchase PREDATOR drones...come on. Even CIA has drones, the cost to effectiveness ratio of drones are much better than these WWII planes.

No comment.

The is the best plane for COIN operations. It is a great CAS airplane for low income nations fighting in low threat environment.

We are also getting 8 drones, CH4, Wing Loong II, and CH3. They are coming later this year.

igbsam:


If there's anything called locomotive jet. This is a perfect example.

Your ignorance is amusing.

Basicend:
Is it only 1 aircraft, and you are making news about that. .

A whole NAF? something that only cubana and friends will buy for them. . .

12 units actually. 6 landed today. The remaining six are coming shortly.

Does Cubana have 500 million dollars in his account?

kabe1:
This link has been abandoned for the more tribalistic one.

Damn!
Just look at the level of discussion on that thread.

Here is the link to the Super Tucano and it will definitely reach FP.

Please post good news there before wailing wailers hijack the thread.

https://www.nairaland.com/6663845/first-batch-super-tucano-aircraft#103983864

Ignore those wailing wailers up there. There own is to condemn since they have nothing reasonable to add.

The Super Tucano is among the best Close Air Support (CAS) in the world. Yes, it might look like a crop duster or WW2 era plane but it is actually exactly what we need.

"What make a good CAS airplane?" you may ask.

Long loiter times: The Super Tucano can stay in the air for 5+ hours watching over troops.

Speed: It can fly low and slow. You don't really need a fast aircraft for Close Air Support, this is why helicopter perform better than jet in this domain.

Cheap: They are also low maintenance aircraft. Terrific workhorse!
You will hear wailing wailers saying "why don't you go for F-35 fighter jet?"
Well, the simple answer for them is "will you use your Ferrari to pack wood?.

Odunayaw:
Hello!! Is SaharaReporters & sons home?

This kind of news is good for him.

So happy to see this. Look at the camaraderie! Makes me wanna join the air force.

I like how people are wailing here because the supposed bad news they were gloating over turned out to be false. Continue crying ehn.
Las las una go dey all right.

Toju200:
Egypt na ur mate?

No sir!

kabe1:
I hope the pilot(s) is alive.

However we need to completely replace all our Alpha Jet fleet.

I just hope is the Alpha jet too.

It is time NAF look into the theory of sabotage. All the aircraft technicians and people who work close to the aircraft hangars need to be properly profiled.

I strongly suspect the airfoce has been infiltrated. Loosing 4 aircrafts within 7 months cannot be a coincidence.

raphemmanuel:
Thanks alot Boss for your input.
I cannot kill myself, if fiverr wants to send me back to new arrival or new seller that one is there business.

Surely I will get back to my feet, every client I worked for is always happy with me and some has referred some clients to me.
It's matter of time, my account shall be well.

Fiverr can do whatever they like on the account.

I just need my peace of mind.

If you are able to get more orders it will go up by itself. Regardless, it will go up by itself after 60days of order cancellation.

emmaBS:
You have to be very careful with him. I experienced something like that in the past and the issue is still having a serious effect on my account even though it happened long ago.

I refused to accept/approve the cancelation and he left a terrible review. Just use wisdom to deal with him.

Ask if something went wrong somewhere and if you can help in anyway. Let him know Fiverr will punish a seller if he/she cancels an order.
If you are persuasive enough, he will have a change of mind.

Don't argue or fight with him. If all efforts proved abortive, then weigh your options. If you think it won't affect your account if he leaves a bad review, you can decide not to cancel. Also, consider the amount involved.

But trust me, "a good name is better than silver or gold". A clean account is better than some $$

Thank you very much for this advice. I think the guy is a serial scammer. He must have been doing this for a long time.

I strongly suspect they have been doing this to other sellers too. They use old account yet no single seller review on their account. They know sellers fear negative reviews so once they have a perfect delivery, they will request for order cancellation.

I contacted CS and provided proofs but they said their isn't much they can do about it.

I just initiated the order cancellation. Later I will block him and hope I never encounter another buyer like that again.

I had a terrible experience with a buyer recently. He wanted to cancel the order after a perfect delivery saying he doesn't want it again.

He had recently said everything was perfect and requested for a minor revision which I did immediately and sent him the perfect copy.

Has any of you faced similar issue in the past? Your opinion is highly welcome.

bidexiii:
It's the same technical !

Look at the steel the recoiless-Gun is bolted to and the iron steel at the edge of the technical. It's the same, it's not shinny after it has been hit.
And you can can also see that it's the same AAG and they are placed beside each other.

Check out the images below..

They are not the same. The beam the recoiless rifle is mounted, one is red and the other is white.

The word you are looking for is "submerge". Cars don't drown since they are not living things.

"Victory is from God alone" is ridiculous

That's one of the best motto out there to me tho
Sounds peaceful and dangerous at the same time .

The terrorists we are fighting believe victory is from God alone. We also believe victory is from God alone. This means losses can also be attributed to God alone. This is a bad mindset for a professional army. If you do not accept the reality that the losses you suffer are highly likely because of your inadequacies, then the chances that you will suffer such loss again is high. It is also this mindset that makes some of our soldiers behave recklessly, not wearing helmet or bulletproof vest. And why we are still stuck with this soft skin vehicles.
