the sambisa is not a forest. I wonder why we keep calling it a forest. There are no forests in Northern Nigeria; we have them only in the south.

You now have a good attack helicopter. Do you guys have dedicated ISR platforms? If yes, you guys can now start intense offensive with air attack.
The Nigerian airforce has been of huge importance in the war against BHT.

jakeporeshenko:
Who can guess the branch of the Nigerian armed force and what unit

tdayof:

He knows nothing about armament and aircraft. He's just a fanboy. The Nigerian l39 and A-Jets carry have carried out bombardment with bombs over 250kg and he's here saying a trainer can only carry 250KG bombs.

There are more things but it's not just worth it. You can see his list on best fighter jets in Africa.

SSBN:


Idiot. Ehen, i have been waiting wondering whats taken you so long to start talking crap again. You never dissapoint. E[s]ven if Nigeria flies an F-22 you will find something to complain about. Boko haram taken donkey years you say? Are you boderline retarded or are you feigning ignorance. Has the F--22 and SU-34 flown in Syria by a 65 country NATO coalition and 12 country Arab coalition plus RUSSIA defeated ISIS in Syria and Iraq you idiot? The Boko Haram you are talking about have been largely squashed.[/s] Its 66,000 square kilometre fortress the Sambisa forest is now where the Nigerian army hold shooting competitions and tests it's weapons.

[s]But of course you an ignorant dimwit. Dont expect you to know that[/s].

lionel4power:
everything is wrong with a trainer being used in combat roles. its not right it only shows that the air force is unserious with its defense.

At the maximum a trainer can only carry two 250kg bomb with two rocket pods. with that bombload how many aircraft or how many sorties do you think you would need before you put an enemy base out of commission?

.
NO wonder some country battle insurgents for donkey years because of improper use of systems.

.
A trainer is A TRAINER irrespective of the bells and whistles.

[s]The problem with guys like you ass.li.ckers is that you do not reason like people who are mentally sound, you always take my bait and jump into senseless unnecessary attack which to be frank makes me question your mental soundness. You should be wiser. Defending Nigeria inadequacy here on nairaland ferociously doesnt make your life better than mine in real life.


have you checked the specification of the L39 before responding? because if you have the you wont say this thrash.

This post is the most st.upi.d of all because number 1 it makes no sense just useless blabbing, i was talking about a trainer not being sufficient and you are here mentioning USA, RUSSIA, F-22. Have you EVER EVER see me recommending any jet for the NAF?? The fact is that if you look deep you'll see who the reta.rd,ed disturbed soul is. You make me pity Nigeria more.


Now here is what i wrote read it and understand expecially the bolded. If you still see it as an attack against Nigeria then you seriously need to verify your mental stability.

Show us real pictures and not some graphic designed shit. Those load will affect the aerodynamic performance of an aircraft.

Here are pictures for you.

Kolawole81:
The size and scale ad the Sambisa forest is mind boggling.

Fidha254:

Its not just Kenya that is in Somalia you know.
Kenyan troops are stretched thin in that sector 2 numbering 3.600.. Look where Eladde is, that's the location Kenyan camps was attacked, that's not even a Kenyan sector under Amisom mandate, Ethiopia has been slowly withdrawing its troops to deal with home issues forcing KDF to stretch its troops futhure in order to protect herself.. This has resulted in having to deploy extra troops that are not part of Amisom inside Somalia.

I think right now what Somali needs the most is massive training of SNA by different countries so that somalians themleves can take over...the pace of traing somali troops is too slow...Amisom should not still be doing protectioning of captured areas, there only mission should be offensive leaving defending to SNA.
All the firepower that KDF is acquiring will only be utilised under sector 2, what about the rest of the sectors?

jakeporeshenko:

I really feel sorry for you sometimes, you're one of those bipolar people who attack someone and somehow manage to end up being the victim, a contributor to this thread posted pictures of NAF trainers/light attack aircraft with adequate caption and you went on to say he should post it on thesame page as the LNAF Mig23... went on bashing NAF as usual, and now somehow you're the victim ? You've shown this same attitude towards me as well on this thread, my best advise to anyone will be to ignore your rants.

lionel4power:

And yet you keep making yourself look more and more d.u.m.b (pardon my french).

No 1) YOUR PICTURE SHOWS TWO ROCKET PODS (Confirming my statement)
No 2) Those other two are just aerodynamic bomb-rack which can only carry four 50kg bomb per wing. (still confirming my earlier statement)

No offence bro but seriously you guys need to take a chill pill on the defender bulls.h.it.

lionel4power:


No you are seriously missing the point. Its not about victim or otherwise its about me posting my OWN opinion and some people taking it as offence against Nigeria. Go back and re read how it started again. Well am very happy to show some people their errors in judgement.


here is my initial post:

lionel4power:
somebody posted Libyan Mig-23 being fitted with bombs while somebody else thought it would be okay to post Nigerian L39 trainer being fitted with bombs too ON THE SAME PAGE.

MY EYES HAVE SEEN IT ALL.

and here is somebody reply:
You always seem to be lost and totally out of sync with reality.

No wonder Henry always comes on you hard.

and here is another:

Idiot. Ehen, i have been waiting wondering whats taken you so long to start talking crap again. You never dissapoint. Even if Nigeria flies an F-22 you will find something to complain about. Boko haram taken donkey years you say? Are you boderline slow or are you feigning ignorance.

so you see yet again you make another silly mistake.

jakeporeshenko:

I have no problem with your criticizing NAF,
What does this statement mean ?

"somebody posted Libyan Mig-23 being fitted with bombs while somebody else thought it would be okay to post Nigerian L39 trainer being fitted with bombs too ON THE SAME PAGE."

You can't justify this one to be honest, you were wrong and you started it. So stop acting like you're being picked on.

tdayof:

You are the one who is not wise here. The F15 carries two pylons each too EXCLUDING RACK. The Alpha jet can carry 2500kg worth of bombs on all five hardpoints.

tdayof:
When bokoharam hear you say it is just a trainer.

lionel4power:

no 1) the F-15 is on another class on its own and in no way related to our discussuion.
no 20 The Alpha jet can carry about 2500kg of external payload which includes drop tank. a drop tank can weigh about 450L drop tank with 359kg. Alpha jet can either carry two droptank plus two rocket pod or two 250kg bomb plus two rocket pod.

But it can NEVER carry droptank, bombs and rocket pod at the same time.. The picture below would explain better.

tdayof:

Common, NAF doesn't need to carry a drop tank every time. Drop tanks depends on the mission profile. All hardpoints will be fitted with Bombs when you need to strike a target 10 minutes away.
There is a video on NAF page where a single alpha jet and F-7 struck BHT location. The A-jet started with bombs then rocket. This means you don't know what you are saying.
The A jet obviously went airborne with 2 bombs and 2 rocket pods.
