OROSUNBOLB: They've been shooting down military jets since the days of GEJ and Yaradua. Why do you think PMB recently ordered for tucano jets? Infact when Buhari became president the airforce had no jet. The president had to give them some of the president's jets |

nograv: Highly unlikely. The jet must have reported to the comm tower if they had engine issues. It suddenly lost contact and these terrorists have video 'evidence' of when they actually downed the ill-fated jet. It's almost like they were actually prepared to shoot it down. 1 Like |

According to Lai Moh'd, Boko Haram can only attack soft targets I guess this is one of the soft target APC is talking about. Soft target, Soft target until they blow Lai's sagged balls into pieces. APC=Terrorism Buhari is a terrorist!!! 2 Likes |

Eriokanmi: This type of comment make me feel most Nigerians do not know the hell that goes in Nigeria. Bro there is no n=border between Niger, Chad and Nigeria. Nigerian border in the north is as porous as sandy soil. You simply drive Republic of Niger in and out of Nigeria through the border in the north. I had wished the southern borders are as open as the northern borders. Nigeria operates two countries, one for the northerners and another for the southerners. 3 Likes |

joey150: Mechanical failure in a complex machine like a jet can occur very suddenly that the pilot has little time to react. The idea of effective real time communication in Nigeria is laughable. Please read my post that mentions the downing of a Jordanian jet over Syria. The exact same scenario played out. Look I was educated in England and wanted to be a Tornado pilot. I studied heavily, but failed on account of bad eyesight and a poor spot test performance. The likelihood of the jet having been downed by Boko Haram is virtually zero.. |

nograv: So, let me get something straight, Bokoharam films every jet that flies over them for entertainment? Then this jet that 'suddenly' lost Comms with the tower happened to go down without a single mayday call just as Bokoharam were shooting a season film in the forest? |

just2endowed: It travels at 117 m/s. The jet must had developed a mechanical fault that made the RPG to get to it. |

Re: Boko Haram: We Shot Down Nigerian Air Force Alpha Jet & Killed Pilots by joey150(m): 8:30pm On Apr 02, 2021 |
nograv: Both scenarios are very probable. But in light of the currently available evidence and facts now, it's much easier to believe that BH shot that plane down than it suffered a mechanical failure. Real time communication? Aren't jets in constant communication with their base? Do they just hover blind? 1 Like |

Foolishbuhari: What facts have you provided beyond believing propaganda footage? Thats right none. Have I provided examples from multiple military aircraft scenarios, yes. Thats why I said at this point I have little interest in arguing with a man who displays little knowledge of jets or the type of technology required to down them. Even the Me262 arguably one of the first military jets (aside from the British Gloster Meteor) was so fast, the only way to destroy it during WW2 (over 70 years ago) was when it was on the ground or either taking off or landing.. So the idea of a modern jet which is even faster and more advanced being downed by small arms fire is even more ridiculous to be honest. |
