Are you the one who supplied BH/ISWAP with a SAM? Unfortunately for you, they do not own any

seunny4lif:

You don’t even answer my question
Is the USA airforce using it?
All USA bases have it best fighters jets upfront
Any jets the USA is not using as frontline is not good enough

Why always comparing us to US everytime, are we as rich or powerful as US, be realistic. This rain bombs and kills terrorists, bandits and enemies of the state.

With the porous borders up north, they will soon get it from their friends from Libya ( bubu said that’s where the weapons are coming from)

If your country makes catapults, your newspapers will champion it as the best weapon in the world so they can sell it to gullible countries.

Tetehjewels:


You clearly don't know what you are talking about. A SAM is not available in the open market my dear. It's a specialized equipment which is illegal to own by anyone not a government or it's direct agency. You need special paperwork to be able to be qualified to buy one and each one is traceable

Tetehjewels:


Na wa. Do you even understand the purpose why fighter planes are built? They are designed for specific tailor made assignments. You cannot use a fighter jet designed for another type of sortie to replace that specifically meant for a Super Tucano.

When you deploy a super Tucano for that it was specifically meant for then it becomes the best in that field and relegates a 2021 made fighter jet designed for a different type of sortie to the background.

You cannot use a supersonic Jet to fight in-country localized insurgency. It would be way too expensive for you and there would be no precision attacks

Tetehjewels:


Your comment makes no sense. Is anyone talking about Nigerian manufacturing or wishing to supply such to another country?

Common bro
We are richest in Africa
We make more money than Egypt or Algeria but those countries have the best airforce in Africa.
Ask yourself, can Nigeria airforce protect our sky from enemies?

Fast-forward to July 18th, 2021 and somewhere in the forest that straddles Kaduna and Zamfara Statea of Nigeria. A Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Alpha Jet fighter aircraft returning from what Nigerian authorities described as a 'successful mission' came under intense fire of bandits and it came crashing down to a disastrous end. The young pilot, Flight Lieutenant (Flt Lt) Abayomi Dairo, like Captain O'Grady of USAF in our earlier story, ejected successfully to safety also in a hostile enemy territory that was infested with bands of terrorists and bandits. These also sought sought to also kill the pilot of the ill-fated Nigerian fighter aircraft. Like Captain O'Grady, Flt Lt

Abayomi discarded his parachute quickly and ran off speedily on foot away from pursuing enemies. The young Nigerian pilot like his American counterpart, we were told, relied on his navigational skills and survival kit to evade enemy camps and settlements all night until he arrived at a Nigerian Army Unit located on the fringes of the forest where his Alpha Jet fighter aircraft was shot down. At least, this was the official account that was issued by the NAF after first denying that any of its aircraft was involved in a crash. However, eyewitness accounts while insisting that a NAF aircraft crashed somewhere in the forest spanning the boundary of Kaduna and Zamfara States averred that the pilot of the aircraft also ejected to safety. However, unlike the official account of the Nigerian government, the witnesses states that the Nigerian pilot ran to one of the villages adjoining the forest and was hidden by the locals overnight. The villagers subsequently aided the Pilot to disguise as one of them before ferrying him off to a safe crevice within their Village Chief's palace. Thereafter, the Village Chief got in touch with some Nigerian military authorities that dispatched a NAF Helicopter accompanied by another fighter aircraft to fetch the downed pilot to safety in Abuja. Like Captain Scott O'Grady, Flt Lt Dairo is another hero that put his life on line of fire for his country. But this is where the similarities between the USAF pilot and that of NAF ends. The dissimilarities are many in professional sense and on governmental plane. While not intending to attenuate the great sacrifices of the Nigerian pilot to his country just like his USA counterpart, there is nonetheless a reason or two for seeking clarification from the Nigerian Government about what really happened? Was it truly an Alpha fighter jet that was brought down by bandits or terrorists or both? At what altitude, course and speed was the aircraft flying? Was it brought down by a missile or Anti-Aircraft fire or light weapon fire? Why did the NAF first deny that one of its aircraft had crashed only to re-admit that indeed, one of its Alpha Jets was brought down by bandits? These questions deserve answers from the Nigerian Government to Nigeria's tax-paying public whose resources were used to acquire the aircraft and are being used to maintain as well as sustain their operations.

For example, the Alpha Jet is a light attack aircraft capable of making supersonic speed of 994-1,000 kilometer per hour. Like other Jet fighters, by the time one hears its roaring sound it would have flown past and gone far, blending with the horizon such that unless one uses a pair of binoculars, it will be difficult to see it clearly. The aircraft climb altitude is not less than 35,000ft above sea level and has a fighting range of 610km. With these characteristics, is it possible for bandits to bring down a jet without using sophisticated radar-based missile system? And if that is what they used, are we not facing a formidable adversary increasingly? Could technical error or error of human judgement be responsible for this latest crash? Could the pilot not have recoursed alternative route away from enclaves of bandits after a successful operation?

In a functional clime, legislative committees on defence and armed services will invite the executive to explain what happened. It will also carry out independent investigation of its own to unravel the cause of the recent crash of NAF Alpha Jet in order to prevent future occurrence. As for Fl Lt Dairo, we await to see whether he can in good conscience like Captain O'Grady kiss the earth, look into the heavens and say 'God bless Nigeria.'

WaffenSS:


Since when is the army flying planes?

You dumb fukks say just about anything without thinking

Tetehjewels:


Then you don't know a Tucano. The ceiling of a Super Tucano is roughly 35,000 feet while and anti aircraft guns we see Bokoharam using have a maximum range of 15000 feet. They cannot touch the Tucano

Theunbothered:


But it can't stay at that altitude throughout an entire mission, it's not a high altitude bomber. In any case at least they have spare planes.

Nice format. Crash them all, buy new one, chop money along the way
