Foolishbuhari: They were merely filming it and attempting to shoot it down, which unless they had surface to air missiles would have been unsuccessful. As they were filming the plane suffered mechanical failure. The Taliban who managed to oust advanced soviet forces mainly managed to shot down hind helicopters and not jets. They were armed with shoulder fired surface to air missiles supplied by the CIA. Al-shabab managed to knock out helicopters but never jet fighters with the use of RPGs. As a kid I loved military technology so I am well versed in military history. This sort of propaganda has form. Muath Safi Yousef al-Kasasbeh a Jordanian pilot whose plane crashed over the then islamic state was claimed by Isis. Again they had footage, but analysis showed the plane suffered mechanical failure. The only successful downing of a advanced jet by a native insurgent army was in the former Yugoslavia, where an advanced F117A stealth jet was shot down. But in this case again, a soviet era SAM battery (Surface to Air missile array) was involved. Lets be clear, there have been no recorded cases of a jet being downed by merely machine gun fire or RPGs in the modern era. As a fellow Nigerian, we both know our people dont have a strong maintenance culture, which makes mechanical failure even more plausible.. 2 Likes |

marvin906: Hmm, are you sure you are knowledgeable about military aircrafts? Anyway. Google "su25 frogfoot" to be better informed. Tukanos are turbo props ie propeller aircrafts invariably slower. The Nigeria airforce alfajet shot down was a turbo jet powered trainer or light attack platform, hence faster than the tukano. Imagine they shot down a jet aircraft, what then will be the fate of a propeller plane? |

eejo: What stopped Abacha from using his stolen money to buy F16 jet? Obasanjo met $5.5 billion in reserve and a huge debt with high infrastructure dilapidation and low morale military and police. The Israeli mercenaries that dealt with Boko Haram before 2015 election did not need F16. Why do you need F16 for a Guerrilla warfare ? They are just using Nigeria to do business. This is the major reason Buhari didn't want to change the Service Chiefs. Negotiations have to start afresh again. The foreign countries are part of these problems. 1 Like |

nograv: And the jet had to have a mechanical function capable of downing it at that very moment BH were filming and shooting at it right? I guess the mechanical fault also caused the plane to burst into flames mid air. An RPG doesn't have the capacity to down a fighter jet but an anti aircraft gun can score a lucky shot with a low flying jet. Which begs the question, why were they flying low? 2 Likes |

heendrix: NA has to be able to adjust to changes and surprises. The strategy am referring to, is that NA will hold their line at the perimeter of the interested location. The drones will do the intelligence and agitating of the criminals, and depending on cooperative decision, they can decide to drop some mean knockouts on them. Any escapee will be caught by NA in the 1st layer, then mopol in the 2nd layer, and regular ekelebe in the 3rd layer. If you have high and low drones, you will use low to agitate them to be firing at you or be making rash decisions, that way they give away their location or just start moving, but high flying one will be strictly for Intel purposes. Oga Obj bought satellites those years, I no know if na audio satellite or an incompetent one. We need to use all the advantages in our tool box. 3 Likes |

Mrtaye: Exactly my thought, ordinary AK 47 can bring down most fighter jets only if it's flying at low altitude, something was definitely wrong for BH terrorist to use RPG to execute that mission meanwhile RPG is not effective at a very long range so I don't understand how is that possible if not that the fighter jets looses signal . |

Foolishbuhari: Look I am losing patience with you. I gave you the example of the exact same scenario witha Jordanian plane thatwas downed over Syria. An anti aircraft gun could score a lucky shot, but it is very very unlikely. So much so, nevermind how low a given plane was flying it has never been recorded in the modern era. Please make up your own mind. In truth given I care little for the North and would rather see the South break away to form a Republic of Southern Nigeria. I couldnt care less what those savages get up to up there anyway. |

nedekid: I don't think you understand the situation on ground... In no scenario is it possible for an rpg hit an alpha on high speed.. What I can see happening here is incompetence on the pilot side or malfunction of the jet to come as low for an rpg to hit.. What is your definition of low.. A tucano is slow does not mean is a sit duck for an rpg |
