In the marketing of the Gripen, they added talks of stealth because of small RCS.. Abi you think say na only shaping they reduce RCS?

And what do you mean "Radar used alone"?

joshingjosh:

I mean something with all round protection of like 7.62mm

youghs:


Yea bro

Pics please

NAC -V ba?

Faithful007:
Another big factor that makes jets detectable is their radar. When the radar is on, it is giving away its position. But for AESA radars, it is still difficult to track the jet's radar emission when the radar is emitting. but the JF17 block 2 does not have AESA radar.

Yes

This is my last post

U claimed this in ur post

" Its about science & tech, once you increase armour weight the speed reduces proportionately"

It was my main point of contention , the very science & tech u invoked has advanced so much that use of speciality steels and composites allows one to increase protection without a corresponding increase in weight thereby preserving desired mobility.

"If they double Casspir IED spec, they have compromised another spec to gain that one."

This claim of urs I disputed because you r ignorant about the use of speciality steel and composites which allows one to increase protection without compromising weight and mobility specs

" Ah !!! It's me that first mentioned composite armour not you o nemesis !!! "

That's an out right lie u explicitly mentioned ceramic armour not composite armour ( which I mentioned first ) . Here is proof below which u wrote in reply to youghs

" Option of ceramics armour to save weight, means you increase cost price 3 times so 400k MRAP becomes $1.2 million, then too expensive to repair that vehicle is written off and lost out of inventory after only one IED blast. "

Now you posted this in reply to me

" I said only alternatives like ceramics (used in composite mix) "

Composite armour is a mix of various materials which may or may not use ceramics . Therefore Composite armour ( even if it uses ceramics ) is different and ceramic armour is different . 2 entirely different armouring material.

A person who is in the technical know , will never indulge in play of words and obscuration . He will be a man of few words sticking to technicalities only.

I have no reasons to be angry lol , I am only taken aback at the level of straw man arguments and selective bias which is down right tragic .


The only thing that was in bad taste for me was how u kept bringing up pride and references to such . Pride is is best left to individuals who actually achieve things which r a matter of pride for them . appreciating is another matter. I am here for my own pleasure not to exibit any pride.

This is my last post too I hope my brother.

It's unfortunate that you think I mentioned ceramics but I dont know the meaning of composites which is just a general term used to define all types of - non metal only - armour alternatives like the ceramics I mentioned.

So disappointing that you are not smart enough to know that since I know ceramics, the market price, the met & mat use, the technical disadvantages, the armouring benefits, then at such level I know that ceramics is just one of many types of various composite material options..

Word ceramics as I used it, is how we abbreviate longer full term - ceramic composite armour - please correct your ignorance dear nemesis.

I plan current factory introduction of composite armour mix with Nigerian MRAP manufacturers, it's not pride, it's being happy to improve Nigerian Def Sec industry. We are Africans but don't assume we are ignorant and only Indians know composite usage ; DICON makes ballistic vests using Aramid Composite - we are coming up with ceramic composites and carbon fibre composites for vehicles kinetic threat armouring.

You, an individual made a statement and you're trying to lump AFRICANS, 54+ countries, over a billion people into your individual opinion..it makes no sense

The kin insecurity wey dey happen for some part of that Kaduna eh

The train that operate between Abuja to Kaduna was attacked yesterday by armed bandits. They even shot at the train.

The train was attacked for close to 30 minutes, security agents where nowhere to be found. If nah IPOB they do meeting now, then you go see them flexing muscle

Whyem15:

I doubt it is gunshot, was it just a bullet that was fired? No exit point for the bullet or it fell in the train without anyone thinking of snapping it?
The official story is that some kids threw stones at the train and were chased off by the police, one was arrested. If it was bandits, why didn't they obstruct the railine and wreak as much havoc as they want instead of firing just one shot?

Xbee007:

I seriously doubt it was an attack as well.
Let me narrate one of my experience while traveling on that train cos I use it quite often. One time, I got to the train station late so I had to go for standing ticket. Myself, an Air force officer with his friend and another guy got a place immediately between the engine and the first coach. Hours into the journey, I heard a loud bang that sounded like a gunshot which scared the sh*t out of me. Seriously, I was certain the train was under attack until the officer explained that the train actually rolled over a stone at high speed.

That's why I love this thread.. intellect folks full here ahswear..
The ignorance and comments on fp today was an eyesore.. people talking and bullshitting their own on what they dont know just because of their political and selfish differences..

Just imagine when an outsider gets to read that thread in fp and the comments..tell me why some useless dundehead wont rate us 3rd globally terrorised country in the world..

Most Nigerians are fools and ignorant bastards that maybe poverty and hardship has cause them a post stress traumatic disorder in such a sense that they only see and talk bad about the country irrespective of whatever the case might be..

Such a shame if you ask me..
