I don't know the NAF definition of alpha buh I think this jet is in a beta stage (Development stage with lot of bugs) To those who wouldn't understand.

frenchwine:

That's why we are behind Egypt, SA, Ethiopia in military capabilities. Nigeria with all her resources wey suppose boast of top notch military hardware shouldnt be celebrating an alpha jet recon

Tell me how we are behind south africa? Ethiopia only has air superiority over us with her su 27 and we will match them up with the JF-17's.

Explorers:


Nigeria and we're going to/we will....Lols

Thats why there is something called internet.

Please anybody that can help in Uniabuja Post UTME registration should please do so... Am having serious trouble registering on the said portal. U can drop your number. Your co-operation is highly needed and will be appreciated. Thanks fellow NLanders

The military budget of each of those nations is far more than our two years national budget

That's of America is at least our ten years budget... Stop d comparison

see as dem dey pop champaign on top of mediocrity.... I hope northern airstrip will be the testing site for that old Alfa jet

Jona and his looting and stealing gang bought used and non weaponized jets that can not fire bullets or drop bombs.. This is why the service chiefs under jona were buying mansions and luxuries all over the place while jona himself gave them national awards..


smh..

Necessity they say is the mother of all inventions. Pakistan, Iran, Cuba and a lot of countries out there started like this, today their economy is better for it. If we start putting our local and foreign expertise together, being nigerians we will come out with wonderful inventions in a few decades to come. Lets support any local ingenuinety, no matter how simple and little it looks. This has been our bane of development. We are quick to condemn and discourage upcoming ideas in favor of foreign ideas and invention at our own detriment. We do this subconsciously so much that we have lost faith in ourselves.

Only nigerians can develop nigeria. No country will come and develop our country when we dont even believe in the country.

They're as up to date as possible, more disheartening is when you compare our defense budget with that of these other countries, they grossly dwarf us. So when you say 'we will' or 'we are expecting more deliveries ' , take note of the fact these countries too aren't just sitting there and watching us. They're constantly improving themselves.

dis is weapons of massive distructure.....

tdayof:
Bro enough of this. Our airforce will be taking delivery of JF 17 soon. And do not compare SU 35 and F35 to any African arsenal as no African country operates any of it.

Forget JF-17 Alex Badeh and former Airforce chief went to pakistan to inspect this jet and the money for the purchase of JF-17 were released but they embezzeled the money. NAF is eyeing Scorpion joint strike fighter. It's a new fighter et designed in the United States. JF-17 is a cute fighter but our former military chiefs aborted because of their stomach. Dnt mind that guy i dnt knw where he wants us to see d money to buy and maintain f-35 stealth.

Continue comparing Nigeria and the nations you mentioned. Which one can you fly? Are your mates not flying those machines?

Danhumprey:
We're still glorying in our old Alpha jets when there are far more advanced jets out there. SMH.

foolish talk, what have you personally contributed to the development of technology in your contry. some people are making good out of what others thought it of no use to us and you are der nagging.

And what was the cost compared to bringing in a weaponised Alpha jet?

JF-17 is still on. Will be sure to mention you when it arrives.

I knew some touts wil castigate this effort of NAF, anyway continue

Well let's see... JF-17 is so beautiful

princemillla:
Atleast NAF make some different, whether old jet or alpha jet. The point is , it can flight and it will shoot.

Most of you complaining about this jet being old and showing off latest hardware, and you still glorify NDA with their acts, ....try and av a check up

ASK URSELF, Y DO PPLE ME CRITICISES D NAF. I CHALLENGE N DARE D NAF TO TAKE THOSE UPGRADED JUNKS THEY CALL FIGHTER JETS 2 EITHER LIBYA OR SYRIA, LET US IF ANY WILL MAKE IT BACK 2 NIGERIA. ALL I NEED 2 SHOOT THEM DOWN IS EITHER A SURFACE 2 AIR MISSILE OR EVEN AN AK 103 OR 79 ASSAULT RIFLE. NAF R JUST LUCKY DAT BH DOESN'T HAS THEM IN ARSENAL.

You're a fool (no offense) What about Algeria? How do we match them up with their battalions of Russian S-400 & S-300SAMs including SU-30jet fighters?

My friend, you better concentrate on your study in China.

saintkel:
Bro dis was made locally by Nigerians, isn't that good news?. Must we always compare ourselves with d western world?, remember they started like us back then, if only we continue, I see a lot of improvement

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) successfully test fired another locally weaponized Alpha Jet aircraft acquired from overseas.

Its seems acquired mean manufacture to you abi? #brownenvelope.

That's of America is at least our ten years budget... Stop d comparison

IF NATIONS LIKE ESTONIA, LATVIA N POLAND CAN HAVE A SOPHISTICATED MIG 29 FIGHTER JET IN THERE AIR FORCE, WAT R WE DOING WITH ALFA JETS?. D TRUTH IS DAT BH R POOR PPLE, IF THEY HAD D KIND OF RESOURCES LIBYAN MILITANTS HAVE, BELIEVE ME NIGERIA WILL HAVE A SINGLE FIGHTER JET LEFT. D POINT IS WE CAN DO BETA DIS WE WANT, BUT TRUST OUR SO-CALLED LEADERS, THEY RATHER CHOP D CASH (BUDGET PADDING) THAN PROTECT DER PPLE.

The millitary does not show you all the strengths it has, it only logical all over the world, most other more sufisticated jets, are flown, tested and kept in secret military bases until when needed most, every military in the world does that, do u knw we have JF17s?

Nigeria will be making the gravest mistake if they ever buy anything military from Amerika. Aside from the fact that they're not reliable, everything about Amerika are grossly overrated & overpriced.

I haven't checked out your “Scorpion Joint strike Fighter” yet, but I can bet it can't compete with Russian Mig-29s, let alone the SU-30s

And tell me, how do you intend to go against Egypt, Algeria & Ethiopia with squadrons of Russian “bad-ass” flying machines? Even the Almighty Amerika cannot go against Russia in the Air, Land & Sea - Pls do not quote with any Amerikan propaganda this morning, I have already had enough on Nairaland.

rubbish

The JF-17s have been budgeted for. The Nigerian Air Force confirms the JF-17, MI-35M, Super Mushack and Yahbon Flash 20 are coming.


The textron scorpion is not even in production yet, we cannot buy a jet that only exists on paper.
