Is every internet source reliable? South African defenseweb that you trust 100% says Nigeria has about 100 units of BTR-3U IFVs and it is very very wrong

There are stupiid interent sources with false information.

Nigeria would go for the JF-17 thunder jets, and there are many credible advantages of going for the JF-17 over any other fighter jet.


"How Nigeria lost use of her 18 Ground attack jaguar jets"

"An initial batch of 12 (twelve) single seat variants were supplied and later 6 (six) twin-seat versions which were used for pilot training in the United States were inducted into the NAF.

The Nigerian Air Force was denied the option of purchasing advanced weapons to enhance the deep strike capabilities of the Jaguar jets except for iron bombs of limited effectiveness. A request for in-flight refuelling tankers was also turned down because they could be used to invade neighbouring countries.

It was stipulated that the jets were to be used only for defensive purposes or they ran the risk of a withdrawal of technical support and spare parts and NAF could not resell/transfer the jets to a third party (another country) without approval of British Aerospace (now BAe Systems), UK Ministry of Defense and the House of Commons."



"Sometime in 2007 when these jets were put on display by the NAF for prospective buyers to inspect, it emerged that a Jaguar B TRAINER variant (NAF 703) had flown for only 150 hours 54 minutes since it was manufactured in December 1984. It had its 100 hours inspection on the 10th day of February, 1986. It suggests that the crated fleet of Jaguar jets is almost brand-new still."


With the JF-17, Nigeria would avoid all the Nightmares associated with the Jaguar, plus we would be getting a brand new aircraft with all it's capabilities.


I've always been of the Opinion that Nigeria Requires a COIN based aircraft. Fighter Jets are too fast, and they cannot provide CAS.

The French were successful with their Air Operations in Mali because, they've had surveillance assets in the Area, even before Operation serval began. So, targets were pre-known, and we're timely taken out.

A good example as to why fighter jets aren't good CAS assets is the "battle of Kobani". Over 500 bombing missions in Kobani by coalition forces, yet ISIS is still dug in.

With CAS based assets like the Tucano, ISIS would have been driven off kobani a long time ago.


That been said, i'm happy with the Choice of the JF-17 and possible numbers for the NAF. It is an impressive fighter, with a good loiter time of 5 hours.

NAF only needs to get additional surveillance assets.

You are a true village idi0t my friend.
The source says as i quoted it before, the hms on the jf-17 is only used for targeting.
HMSD or HMS/D = HMS you cant have both only the one or the other.

jl115:


Yes its a totally new aircraft witch is based on the mig 21, just like the olifant mbt is a totally different from the centurion tank.

Your personal opinion does not count.

The South African insider sources say DENEL copied the Italian gun same way Chinese would copy .

The same RSA sources say Rooikat gun is inaccurate for army targets, it is the copy of a naval gun for use against huge ships at sea

Case closed.

AugustineAgain:


Only one unit was built in 25 years, SANDF rejected 105mm gun Rooikat many years ago and would NEVER accept it.

Case closed.

Two units have been built (See pic 2)

The project is ongoing, the latest featuring a [suspected] autoloader (hence the new turret and only 3 man crew) as well as an active defence system and barrel shroud to improve accuracy.

JF-17 engine is MiG-29 engine, and between MiG-21 and MiG-29 there are 3 different MiG series gone by !

Engine proves JF-17 is based on MiG-29 Fulcrum 4th generation fighter

Show me a source that says JF-17 Thunder is based on MiG-21

I can show you one that proves you wrong :

"The official said, "This transfer of technology—transposing the aircraft systems from the J-10 to the JF-17—is what makes the JF-17 so cost-effective". The use of computer-aided design software shortened the design phase of the JF-17."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAC/PAC_JF-17_Thunder

JF-17 is a mix of MiG-29 Fulcrum, J-10 Dragon, and the other newly created unique featured of JF-17 itself, like the never-seen-before wings

Rooikat 105mm has been rejected by SANDF and turned to a museum piece for ever
.

patches689:


Rooikat gun was developed from the Oto Melara gun, not a copy of the gun and is accurate at ranges of 1500m to 2000m in direct fire and up to 12km in indirect fire

The Rooikat is fitted with a fully-stabilized GT4 76-mm main gun, which was developed from Italian OTO Melara naval gun.

As i proved before useing the source you gave the jf-17s HMS or HMS/D is only used for targeting.
dus at this stage it only has a HMS/HMSD.

Are you saying Nigeria does have nukes?

Still waiting for you to outline these "lies"

Your last attempt was truly hilarious
