ok. But the tucanos have not arrived, have they?

No Sir. The Tucanos have not arrived yet, but we would see 3 units from Brazil this year, while we wait for the 12 units ordered from the US to be approved.

The Alpha jets have served Nigeria well, they first saw battle in 1992. The Nigerian Air Force has also deployed the Alpha jets in combat in 7 different African countries apart from Nigeria.

Nigerian built Innoson G15

There are currently only 3 donated units of the Innoson G15 in the service of the Nigerian military. However with the push to buy made in Nigeria, it is expected that we would see a push to purchase more units.

As well as the G15, Nigeria produces alot of other military equipment. The plan is to reduce the unhealthy dependence on imported military items.

The reason KDF is very secretive is because the top brass use secrecy as a cover to hide their massive amount of corruption. That's why in a country of about 43 ethnic groups the military is dominated by one, the presidents, which make up close to 50% of the personel. And unlike western/ developed countries the generals are morbidly obese with huge fat guts because they don't even have the discipline to control their own eating



According to observers, the army has strictly observed ethnic quotas. Although details of Kenya's preferred ethnic balance are not readily available, one report indicated that in the armed forces as a whole, Kikuyu personnel made up 19 percent of manpower levels, 12 percent were Kamba, and no other group had more than 10 percent of the total. The social differences between the two services also highlighted the fact that air force members were mostly Kikuyu. The army, although more ethnically balanced, had relatively high proportions of Kamba and Kalenjin personnel.

TL;DR - you have no idea what you are talking about

Nigerian Air Force.
This is the second time I am seeing NAF539, and I wonder if anyone can help me.
NAF260 and NAF 261 were bought 2015
NAF539 unless it was repainted to the Desert Camo, I have no record of it when it was bought.
Could this be one of the two Helios that were bought May /Dec2015.I am just trying to figure it out.Please no politics I beg.
I saw the T V. Version of the visit of the CAS to Yola .... interesting.. .very interesting.He subtly informed Nigeria that by the way some of our Pilots who were training in Egypt just got back.

You beat me to it! This is a public service announcement to the Kenyan noobies-this poster is a Somali;like all his tribe he suffers all the complexes of his people. Somalis feel love/hate/fear and fear complexes simultaneously and suffer notoriously slow cognitive abilities. In a way you sympathise-all along they've been told they're superior to bantus in all ways yet the KDF has been in there homeland (the only heterogeneous country to collapse)for a half decade!
Their biggest collective regret is that they'll never be taken seriously as as people.
If you want to see their brainpower in action visit the cyber monkeyhouse called Somalinet-make sure they don't follow you back here!

At 550m effective range, it's pretty much useless from the air. The rifle would be used in case the craft crashes and he has to escape.

We need one with Moza and Zim.... It's only 700km in total. Then concentrate all our border patrol manpower on the 400km border with Swaziland... Our illegal immigration problems solved.

Ferrets of the Parabats.

In the 1960s they were relegated to storage in Grahamstown as a result of the Eland programme. Many were brand new, less than ten years old and had barely been driven. In my opinion the decision to mothball the entire Ferret fleet in favour of the redundant Elands was one of the most wasteful things the old defence force ever did.

Don't get me wrong here, I love the Eland and it was superior to the Ferret in almost every way except some aspects of mechanical reliability (gearboxes and bevel boxes on the Ferret gave much fewer problems, despite being very similar to the same ones on the AML/Eland).

However, if you spend a fortune buying 200+ brand new armoured cars straight off the production line, you cannot then begin replacing them with an identical vehicle less than six years later, and literally have them all out of service by ten years later. That is an incredible waste of money and logistics and to this day I am convinced it was a political decision made by the National Party, which was trying to cozy up to France as their new arms supplier at the time after relations with the U.K. cooled.

In the late 1970s the Ferrets were reactivated by 44 Parachute Brigade and fitted with Recoilless rifles and MILAN ATGMs. They were modified to be airdropped.

As part of Exercise Magersfontein in 1988 the Parabat Ferrets were tested in a mock airborne assault off Walvis Bay. It was strongly implied at the time that Exercise Magersfontein was to test tactics which might be used against the Cubans if they crossed into South West Africa.

The Cubans never came, and the Ferrets were retired for the final time at some point between 1989 and 1994.

I read a news headline in the early 1990s which mentioned the SADF had sold off some to Malawi, but that is the last I ever heard of them.

Presumably most shared the same fate as most of the noddies and were cut up for scrap by Armscor's disposal division.

One is currently at the War Museum in Joburg, one or two are at the Bats museum in Tempe, and two or three are at the Armour Corps Museum (also Tempe). One of those is running and may be the only operational example left in RSA; someone posted a photo of it on this thread earlier.
