Take it easy my man. I'm in Monguno right now and I've stopped commenting on this thread. Do have a great day Bro

Why? Or you'd rather not say?

GeneralFarouq:
Good to see we have a way of identifying freindly forces via isr... What kind of technology do u think they are using to identify the N.A

They communicate in real-time so they always know the coordinate of friendlies.
Through real-time communication, the ISR platform was able to coordinate the MBRLs strikes on BHTs. Although, some missed the target, others were on target.

Hi bidexiii,

Abeg from which sources you dey get these latest news? Nigeria Army no longer post update on Twitter neither does Nigerian Air Force.

nemesis8u:
Israeli Tamir interceptor seeker recovered intact in Gaza . Also includes the laser proximity fuze.

The Iranians will be happy

And the Chinese will be to totally crazed

And possibly the Russians might take a peek

Israelis will be mourning

Indi.... will be in anguish

Allegedly a upscaled and refined seeker of this very same seeker in being used in LRSAM and MRSAM. ( not confirmed )

Though it will be extremely difficult to break the algos.

At the best some of the hardware portions might be reverse engineered

I was going to post this picture earlier under the tag "how much will the Chinese and Iranians pay for this?"

bidexiii:
JUST IN: Another Dooms day for ISWAP in Mallam Fatori as own troops continue to annihilate them neutralizing 13 terrorists, same time recovering 187 rounds of Anti-aircraft Gun (belted) 2 AK47 Riffles, 80 round of GPMG, 4 AK47 magazine loaded with 30 rounds of 7.62mm among others recovered.
Regrettably, one soldier paid the supreme price while 4 other soldiers were wounded in action. The wounded soldiers are currently in a military medical facility and are positively responding to treatment.

Great news!

Can you please take this good news to FP before bloggers mess it up?

jln115:
To be fair NAF aircraft are flying alot of hours..... It would probably be more realistic to compare the number of crashes vs number of hours flown.... Rather than just counting the number of crashes in X amount of time.

Fair enough.

Toju200:
Nigeria air Force is Engaged in many ops.At least we are better than India dat lost up to 5 aircraft in a month.When even not Engage in an CTCOIN ops

I thought you were exaggerating until I read this.

Tobiloba2407:
how many air crashes now in the last 10 years?

One too many.

And they keep multiplying by the day. We are in serious trouble in this country!

tunjilee003:
Nigeria have gone to the dogs.... The way graduates complain about unemployment makes me think about we the undergraduate, will the menace continue even after we graduate....i pray Nigeria get better soon....

Make sure you learn a skill.

jpphilips:
Ask yourself, who in his right senses compares an Attack/Transport combo platform with Attack only platform?
It is not just about comparison tools, that guy Warthunder has no clue the basis for such comparison.

A Psychologist once told me (jokingly) that the problem of Nigerians isn't the quality of education but a genetic degradation that compromised their thinking ability, im beginning to take that joke seriously.

A grown arse man could have all the knowledge in the world but he lacks the ability to apply the same knowledge, what use is the knowledge anyways?

I became horrified when he brought in sales record in technical comparison.
sadly, loads of his likes felt cool with his position, that tells you he isn't alone in the sickness.

You are one of the few responding to his nonsense because you just had to show him you're smarter than him.

Scroll past his posts and stop feeding trolls.

Don’t be a silent victim ..learn to share your story, you might find out you are not the only 1 as you thought.

Mostly you might learn how to walk freely in that situation … yes I was poured acid by my uncles wife.

Yes she took away my facial looks,
But she didn’t stop me from been me!
But above all I refused to give up,
I refused to hide me myself from people,
I choose happiness,
I kept on being that little sweet girl I was then and now!
If you are living with a scars and you are so scared of facing people.. let this face right here help you make decisions…..
.
Say no to acid attack..

Please some one help me out that this is not true.

No, it isn't.

They have a YouTube channel where they make parody videos of Boston robotics videos. Their videos are super exaggerated and mostly behind green screen and with human actors.

OFF TOPIC
A Soviet Poster from 1944 depicting legions of German soldiers fated to die in the Russian winter thanks to Hitler's order.

It was a terrible war and many German soldiers died from frostbite.

Really Creative!

Investigate no further, it's divine pregnancy from God. The kind that brought Jesus to this world.

blackboy:
A country and government ruined by greed and wickedness, that is the result.
When the school feeding programme was about to kick off in a part of the country, interested contractors were told to go to schools to pick forms. I went to a school near me and what I saw in the school was unacceptable. The school was a mess. Was it food the school needed or renovation to what a school should be.

And the millions budgeted for this joke could have fixed those schools.

Comedian2019:
In those countries where their children enjoy, couple hardly have more than two children. But in Nigeria, a hungry man will have 6 children and will still be proud to say his wife is pregnant with the 7th child. Next, he will start complaining that Government is not giving free education, healthcare, housing, etc. That's why I don't pity their self inflicted poverty.

I can recall the story of an aboki tea seller with 9 kids and 2 wives.
I was like even the CEO of Cadbury doesn't have 4 kids but a tea seller has 9kids.

Sad truth.

Although, it's important that we as people should birth only children we can take proper care of.

kabe1:
Why would China use the JF-17 when it already flies the J-10?

Your assertion makes no sense.

I understand you are Indian, you have every right to defend your country but please make reasonable arguments.

That is because China is the original manufacturer of JF-17.

I don't know think any of them could scoop fuel worth 100k.
The question now is, "Is your life worth 100k?"

BabaOwen:
what if all this guys, found guilty by the Nigerian police force all stand up at once and attack those policemen

It will happen someday. They must get sense by force.

Imagine putting all those deadly weapons within the reach of those deadly criminals, such a very stupid thing to do.

Some fighters fired at US aircraft and they didn't live to regret that decision.

Sizzorkay:
I don't know much about military matters, but shouldn't the soldier with the dog be in the front of the team? you know, with the dog more in the front of the troops instead of in the rear, it's kind of useless if the canine is in the rear no?

I depend on how the dog handler wants it and the situation they are operating in. If there are IEDs, then they will most likely be place in the front.

There are many stories i hear from Soldiers here i don't even wanna post to dampen our morale here.

What's dampened may never be dampened. Post on.

elohim24:
I think a law should be passed punishing anyone caught doing this, Nairaland should also put a check to this, any thread containing graphic content should be deleted. I have no idea what people tend to gain capturing other's nightmares in still and video photography. Smart phones have really made some of us dumb in Nigeria.

How many times have we told Seun this? Any graphic picture that is posted online will be there forever for anyone to see, even the loved ones of the victims which can be devastating.

Nigerian government need to ban the posting of graphic pictures of people online and sanction erring sites.

For now though, nothing is going to change. At least, NL should place age restrictions on those pictures because kids use this site as well.

nemesis8u:

I remember reading of Ilan Omar bizarre love story.

nemesis8u:
Funnily i am still in the dark as to what the query was on

Anyways

@everybody exercise caution while following social media , forums , MSM etc

Don't form opinions or get confused by reading from them

90 % is misinformation or misrepresentation of facts.

Eg
In the Twitter link posted above , one will be surprised to know 2 of the Ind..... commentators were actually Pak...... handles , they r nowadays relatively sophisticated with tailor made usernames , profiles , comment history , IP address to elude identification as to the original source and role.

This is now a global phenomenon , for whatever reasons misinformation is rampant , almost all countries , companies , organisations , individuals r doing it . And end result authentic information is being replaced or pushed back by dubious information on a global scale.

And this will only get worse with time

How to counter it

Google for purely academic links from accredited institutions like research labs , universities etc if in doubt over a technical subject.

Or better still read books but i know many will not do it , books r nowadays out of fashion for the current generation especially .

I actually saw the post on Reddit, I didn't post the link because not everyone uses the site.

I didn't even read the comments on that Twitter was as I was only interested in understanding why I couldn't see any plume trailing the cruise missile.

nemesis8u:
Edit : deleted orginal comment


After i went to the Twitter link

Other than a bunch of unrelated comments nobody said anything about the missile workings.

This is the original video


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTO6XepIMKs

Cruise missiles generally uses turbofan engines as opposed to tubojet engines.

In turbofan engines a portion of the inflowing air mass is bypassed while the rest is burned up to turn the fan , the bypassed air mixes with the exhast air to create thrust. Hence one cannot easily see a visible plume or flame

While in turbojet engines all the inflowing air mass is burned up to generate thrust. Hence one can see a visible plume or flame.

Turbofans r more fuel efficient and quieter among other advantages but the specific thrust level is lower for a given size .

Airliner passenger aircrafts uses turbofan but the sizes r huge and speed required is way below 1 mach.

While fighter aircrafts uses turbojets which requires speed above mach 1 and r of manageable size comparatively

While missiles with solid or liquid rocket fuel simply burn them in the combustion chamber and eject the expanding gases which is why a plume or flame is visible.

Also depends on the propellants , if there r of no smoking type then visual signature is less.

Ramjet and scramjet use more or less same principle but combustion is near 100 % so plume signature is reduced significantly.

Thanks for explaining.
