Patchesagain: Terminator has more weapons stations than the Hind and carries more troops, so it is equally an assault helicopter by definition, so you can call it is a 'Giant Hind'. Fool ! Butthurt because SAAF does not have Terminators . 1 Like

agaugust: Nope. Only 2 hard-points, no pintle-mounted gun and less armour, plus inferior handling and performance I would be depressed if the SAAF used Terminators, its a sign of 3rd world militarys And its designed for soviet doctrine, which is an inferior doctrine |

Patchesagain: I think you are iinsane as usual. Russia NOT Soviet Union, designed and introduced the Terminator in 2002, and it is NOT exactly the same as the old design and old engine Mi-17. Is a 1960 MiG-21 and a 2010 F-7 the same design because they look alike? 2 hardpoints ? You are truly iinsane, Terminator has 6 hard points. Butt-hurt because SAAF does not have a Helicopter with a rear opening landing ramp . 1 Like

agaugust: Dude, the Mi-17 is a 1975 design, in terms of air-frame and function design. It has nothing to do with Russia and the Soviet Union. And yes, the Mig-21 and F-7 are the same as they have the same air-frame meaning they will have similar flight dynamics. All that is different is electronics and presumably the engines. That is the fact of the matter. Oryx suits our needs and doctrine perfectly so no, not butt-hurt at all. 1 Like |

chris365: It's not the only thing that got me roaring with laughter, I just didn't care enough to give a point by point reply to your post simply because, well, I don't care. Whether you visit or not, it changes nothing, we still get millions of visitors each year from countries far better off than Nigeria, so again, zero fux given. PS: I reply to whatever I feel like replying to, how you feel about it is also not my indaba. You should be honoured that I even replied to your undeserving-of-a-reply scribble.

NaijaPikinGidi: Yet, you are in SA begging for pap. We are under protection of Nigeria and others, yet I do not see foreign soldiers roving the street of our cities. Generals do not do the work, soldiers on the ground do under their own respective commanders. The fact that AU or UN is headed by a Nigerian, Malawian or German does not mean that their countries head such institutions. Just because Nkosazana Zuma head AU does not necessarily mean we can boast that SA is giving protection to the whole of Africa. You are a mad man. |

lezz: For your information SA has the most millionaires than any country in Africa. Our lottery produce millionaires every month. Apart from that we always had concentration of millionaires than any country in Africa. Our wealth among citizens is spread evenly even though is not racially equal, for I know is the argument you will bring. SA does not individuals who runs the show alone through monopoly capital like DANGOTE. |

andrewza: " The military transport helicopter was introduced into the world market in 2002. The helicopter is delivered through the Russian state-owned special exporter Rosoboron export. The Mi-171Sh Terminator was specifically designed for operating in combat missions in local armed conflicts. The design incorporates a five-bladed main rotor, a tail rotor and non-retractable tricycle nose-wheel landing gear. The glassed-in cockpit accommodates three crew and cabin houses up to 36 troops, or up to 12 casualties on stretchers. The helicopters are equipped with modern avionics and instrumental equipment, to operate in all weather conditions at any time of the day. The armour protection provided over the crew cabin and vital units increases the combat survivability of the helicopter. The engine exhaust ducts are equipped with infrared suppression exhaust mixer boxes for a low infrared signature. The helicopter has an IR-decoy dispensing system to counter an infrared homing surface-to-air missile or air-to-air missile. The fuel tank self-sealing covers and polyurethane foam protection avoid the possibility of fuel explosions and leakage in case of combat damage. The Mi-171Sh is armed with a Shturm-V high-precision guided missile system. The missiles can destroy modern battle tanks protected by explosive reactive armour, fortified points and aerial targets ." http://www.army-technology.com/projects/mi-171sh-combat-transport-helicopter/ Let us see how your SAAF old school design Oryx helicopter from recycle factory can beat NAF Terminators.

agaugust: are you being serious? Are you actually being serious? The new model was released in 2002 It just a re-configured Mi-17 - same engines, same airframe THATS WHY IT HAS Mi-17 IN ITS DESIGNATION Its a design from the mid-70's And the Oryx suits our needs and doctrine perfectly, thats why we use them |

MikeZA: The Nigerian military isn't wavering in it's constitutional duty of protecting Nigerians. If you were a little intellectually bright, you would know wars aren't video games or movies. Neither does this enemy respect the Geneva convention. The Nigerian military and security architecture are currently the most engaged and one of the more experienced (bar Algeria, which still suffers terror attacks by the way) on this continent. So it isn't unusual to see students from across the continent including south-africa attend NDA/NDC/NWC and multiple other courses in Nigeria. Every reasonable neighbor knows practical experience is vitally more important than some fictional war scenario. This is why they continue to troop into Nigerian war colleges. 1 Like |
