In the Nigeria Armed Forces junior officers hug their superiors ?
Wonders will never end.

What do you expect than that, army never leave their own pilot and it's personel.

According to the holy writings, no liar will inherit God's kingdom

How I wish Yoruba and Igbo can stay away from anything North. They are just wasting our talents for nothing. Why always Yoruba and Igbo that perish in aircraft accidents. This is not alright at all. North should be allowed to face their problems. The earlier the better

I can bet you that mischievous terrorist collaborators within the military are supplying bandits, BH and herdsmen with names of soldiers and pilots on patrol, so that they can pick out the southerners to attack. Nothing will ever surprise me in Nigeria. Just think about the most impossible twisted thing and prepare yourself for it happening as a Nigerian.

thinking we employed when we came up with

That the Bandits now have the capacity to down NAF Jet is a great cause for concern and worry

That's how they would have wasted this guy for their self inflicted problems, can't northerners fly the jet too. My bro resign as soon as possible. On top how much na.

From the story, HE WAS NOT RESCUED but escaped and found his way home!!!

Why they mention his name?
He can be attacked at home.
Or his loved one can be attacked.

Nigerian military are moronsss.

The guy na God son, That's the chief of Air staff boy. He had to deploy all critical assets to ensure the guy emerged alive. Thank God what happened to WG CDR Hedima didn't repeat itself. ( he was beheaded by Boko haram after he successfully raided their enclave) go boy. Crack Mogese.

Ehhmmm...

We can forgive this one because we don't know when the guy got to safe haven.

To have confirmed that there was a crash without showing the survivor may have given away that their prey was still within reach.

Leave the dummies to be shouting, they don't know that military tactics include deception.
They want the air force to spill the full details so the insurgents can intensify their search for the downed pilots.

You wonder on whose side these people making silly comments are, Nigeria or with the bandits.

He must pay for our plane ooo...

This government sha.. founded on lies and build on deceit

Even if you don't know anything about military tactics, you can still engage common sense.

You need not wait for everything to be explained to you like A for apple, B for ball.

What will your knowing or confirmation to you yesterday that a plane crashed contribute to the rescue alive of the pilot?

juniior:
Their all happy because it is pre planned. They will soon draft budget for new aircraft and equipments. How do they expect Nigerians to believe that bandits welding ak47 would shoot down a fighter aircraft? How? We are not stupid

Bros don't underestimate d bandits many of you dnt know d mess we are in.they hav anti-aircraft like sand.

[quote author=sslcrypt post=103868826]Thank God he made back alive.

There are couple of things we can deduce from this event that took place.

Infiltration of bandits operational network haven't been achieved because there is heavy dependence on air force for intelligence gathering. This is done mostly from air

Also the bandits capabilities is increasing because for them to be able to hit the jet

it means they utilize surface to air missile which have the capability via heat sensor to break through the safety region jet fighters operate within when engaging ground enemies.

If the latter stands true then the challenge is taking another dynamics because further acquisition of such weapons would mean the bandits would be able to create a killzone.

A kill zone from air perspective is when bandits operates on higher ground such as rocky areas to gain a vantage point on any fighter jet or gunship aircraft.

So a false flag is initiated to draw the ground troops into a combat scene, knowing fully well there would be air support. When the air support shows up they will go for the kill.

The one efficient way jets can maneuver such surface to air missile is the use of gravity. That is heading into high altitudes to gas out the missiles.

More must be done to counter the move of such weapons into Nigeria.

There are very few in the black market and in very high demand. So the counterintellige unit of the army can deduce who's meeting meeting to make sales.





They were able to hit the alpha Jet because he was flying at a very low altitude which was well within de range of their anti aircraft guns. Because the Jets do not have sufficient loiter time or precision bombs they have to fly very low in order to lob their bombs. That's why the Tucano jets and attack helicopters come in handy because they can loiter or hang over target area and do their thing. The Alphas are not designed for ground attack, they're mainly jet trainers. The NAF had to improvise and make do with what they had.

One technical question. If they can shoot down an Alpha jet how would the Turcanos fare against the terrorists?

That boy should never be sent on another mission..he cant repeat d same feat & get d same result next time....by d way how many alphas is remaining in our inventory now.

E pain am

Dedemworld:


You are an idiot, fool that can't differentiate the Arm of Military... useless illiterate.. shame on u.. don't know the difference BTW Army, Navy and Airforce.. anybody in camo is Army

Okoroawusa:
Gallant soldier!

Some Igbos were praying for your demise so that they can justify their hate but your God or gods were alive.

For those of you asking what the military is doing about bandits and using it to justify Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB madness in the South East, now you can see that the battle in the north is real... don't bring it to South East.

Truly the battle in the north is real. Ewu awusa

Racoon:
[s][/s]So it was IPOB that lied or told the govt to lie to the public that no NAF jet went down ystdy? Are you not even scared that the same bandits/ BH terrorists the government have been pampering are now having the capability to down NAF alpha jets with ease?

So which war are you talking about How? How many have IPOB destroyed? Your obsession will kill you faster if you don't rescind this your mindset.

Congrats to the officer. But this story is not complete, Nigeria airforce alpha Jets are all 2 seaters!
Where is the Co pilot?

I thank God for saving this handsome guy

Congratulations on your life young military officer.
God almighty will continue to guide and protect all your military activities now and forever.
If one wants to follow what is happening in the security system and how this government is handling issues, it is not worthy to fight for Nigeria.
However, the job must be done and the people who have signed up to defend the integrity of the nation must rise up to their calls.
It's painful to have seen the Nigerian airforce denies this story yesterday, only to come and confirmed it today.
In all, we thank God almighty for his mercy over the life of this young man.
God help us

Lack of professionalism. Too much display of emotion na im dey cause am. This hugging can be done behind the door not in the full glare of camera because it sends the wrong signal.
