bidexiii: The army needs to Invest more in battlefield communication and coordination. Our Intelligence gathering agencies are asleep. My grouse with the super tucano is that the aircraft doesn't seem to have sufficient armor protection to be able to withstand potential aa gun attacks and whatever BH/iswap might want to fire at it. Because BH isn't fielding manpads now doesn't mean they won't try to shoot down our air assets. Theyve fielded aa guns before. We need something that'll survive any BH onslaught while performing 2-3 hrs cas for the army. My 2 cents. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Whyem15: Enough of that Arms embargo nonsense, how long have Iran, Cuba & Venezuela been under arms embargo? Did it stop Iran from ranking 14th militarily ahead of Israel, Australia & Spain? Leahy's ban was too narrow for any sensible government to complain about in a life & death situation, how about countries like Libya under a global arms embargo have they complained? did a global arms embargo stop Gen Haftar from attacking the Tripoli government? Sensible leaders break umbrages to get results, Nigerian politicians sell dumb narratives to their dumb populace. The same government under ban got Chinese MRAPS, got a Private military contractor for elections, bought the first set of Chinese combat drones. When its convenient, they remind you of Leahy's ban, did Leahy's ban stop them from stashing your money abroad? If the US refused to sell him a Tucano, he would've gone to Russia to get a Yak 130 or its Chinese equivalent after all, Obasanjo got all our interceptors from China, stop making excuses for that loser! 8 Likes 2 Shares |

GabrielYulaw:US will never sell AC 130 or F 22 raptor to even its closest allies. Closest comparable to an AC 130 we can buy is the AC-235/295 with 30mm canons, missiles and sensors. 2 Likes 1 Share |

BlackBaron: And? There are many other things the US does not sell its closest allies. Ever seen an American ally using a Nimitz Aircraft Carrier? And why would the allies buy the Raptor when the JSF is supposedly miles better? Look, building a gunship is not rocket science. You just have to sit down and understand what you need and the tools you need for the job. You can even model it on computers to know how the armament would change the flight behavior of the plane. There is no science to it. In Vietnam the US even put gun and rocket pods, plus miniguns on light planes. Nothing is stopping us from copying that, but with more modern modifications. 3 Likes 1 Share |

GabrielYulaw: F22 Raptor still possesses some technology and components more advanced than the F35. The latter was made when costs for The Raptor kept spilling over budget hence they decided on an alternate version which became F35. Besides gunships can range from extremely elaborate like AC130 which can handle recoils like from 105mm howitzers to modular ones like the M27 Praetorian. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbBabUtUMdA |

Toju200: What are you saying? Obama stopped you from buying a Chinook? a strategic lift helicopter? stop dreaming, there is no way in the world the US will sell Chinook to a country like Nigeria. ban or no ban, that bird is off limits to you. Tucano has a Russian equivalent, the YAK 130, why did your government not get it? Oh! Russia put you on a ban too. When you lie to yourself for long, it becomes your reality. If the US refused to sell you a Cobra, why didn't he get an Mi-24? stop making excuses for that Buffoon. 6 Likes |

jln115:very correct jlin, but an rpg at the rear of the vt4 is as good as a dead tiger tank of the olds, i loved thr vt4 immediately i saw it but when i saw the engine compartment behind and what could happen when hit , i only pray they initate cage armor immediately to protect the rear. As for the T 72, the fact the turrent holds the auto loader and its to small causes the cook off, a bit of ERA extensively arranged can reduce the chances of a cook off by half 1 Like |

phazotron:the super tucano is perfect, bro in CAS apart from payload, loiter time is essential to ensure that all hostiles are down, the su 25 frogfoot or the Yak 130 which is my personal favorite are all jet propelled aircraft. Meaning they have limited loiter time over a specific area, a bit to fast and definitely will be out od juice in no time, The tucanon is turbo propped and has a longer flight time to loiter , engage, re-engage and provide fire support. Its a good buy for me i am just a bit concerned about the price and the delivery date but i know why though The su 25 and all should be complemented as a heavy CAS strike platforms not full CAS platforms |

joshingjosh: Kenya got a Cobra to fight Alshabab, so the US would've considered selling to Nigeria if we asked, US has leaped above the Cobra for the Apache so it shouldn't be difficult.

BlackBaron: Lol. In my opinion the F-22 Raptor is the best plane ever built bar none. No other jet even comes close to it. This is all the more remarkable considering it is not even new and was released decades ago. The JSF on the other hand... If you read my earlier write up, I said the JSF is "supposedly" better. I don't agree with that assessment at all, but who am I to question the wisdom of the Pentagon. As for gunships, we don't need very elaborate ones. It merely needs to have FLIR so it can work at night, a kind of Firefinder radar for detecting gunshots and long range for loitering over the battlefield. It would be best to use it at night since the terrorists won't be able to see it then. It should have some armor too and must be heavily armed with bombs and cannons. 1 Like |
