that isnt the umbani glide bomb.didnt you say that the A-Darter SRAAM wasnt yet integrated into your jets?

In the first picture you're seeing the Hawk LIFT carrying the Umbani PGM. The fins and rocket engine are added to increase speed and range.

Yes, the A-Darter is yet to be integrated on the Hawk.

The SRAAM has a "fin-less" main body.

Obviously, Pakistan knows that the Junk Fighter-17 is not a reliant fighter, that's why instead they chose the more stealthy J10s which is yet to be acquired. Bwahahahahaha.....
They knew it wouldn't stand a chance against twin engine powered fighters from India, like the Rafale and SU-30 MKI.

Here's something interesting for Nigerians: Where did China find engineers to work on the J-10, investigate that and find interesting things

Why do you have a paltry 8 Pilots for 26 planes?
You have 1 for 11 F-7s.

The Gripens aren't operated simultaneously, one is at the air force TFDC.

1. Training.

2. Operational.

3. Maintenance.

4. Tests.

The A-Darter is integrated on the Gripen, and in its final qualifications "in this weeks".
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by mzilakazi(m): 1:09pm On Dec 04, 2014
There is a clear evidence that the Junk Fighter will not acquire stealth capability any time soon. It will take it a life time to integrate any even on its later variants. Even Pakistan opt for FC-31 instead.

The JF-17 is a far more manoeuvrable fighter than the Gripen can ever be. It uses the more powerful RD93 engine. Same engine which powers the MIG-35 and J-31.

Nope, JF-17 uses the RD-93

Its poor performance has been posted here many times

Drunk comment by a drunk soldier.

Both the the JF-17 and Gripen are classified as light weight multi-role fighters. Olodo!!

The Gripen is an over-priced piece of crap fighter. It is like buying a bentley on a $20k annual salary. This is the exact receive why you only have 8 pilots for 26 planes, and only 12 in service.

It is a low end piece of over-priced junk.

It has a poor combat radius.

The JF-17 is a far more manoeuvrable fighter than the Gripen can ever be. It uses the more powerful RD93 engine. Same engine which powers the MIG-35 and J-31.

You know what you must never study engineering ever in your life that applies to @agaugust as well. That is because of your poor skills of understanding Science and Technology.

.Klimov RD-93 is not a good powerful engine that's why China is working hard to replace it with Gizhou WS-13 engine.

2. I dont know how many times must I repeat myself on this. Most powerful stealth fighters have small combat radius because of the heavy ordnance they carry, however there is an alternative that was made of air-to-air refueling capability which was integrated in theses fighters to maximise their combat radius and keep them on the sky for longer. Your Junk Fighter has larger combat radius because it carries light weapon systems. I used to think like you before until I understood the impact of ordnance on the combat radius of aircrafts. The one with Lighter ordnance will obviously have less ordnance that the one with heavy ordnance.

You must thank me for delivering free lectures without you having to pay for your tuition.

understand the combat radius.

Providing actual evidence over and over. Except if you're blind, the Infographic I posted compares both systems, and it clearly shows the JF-17 block 1 as an equal match to the Gripen, and the block 2 a better fighter.

Most Nigerian Sailors cannot swim

The Nigerian Navy has introduced compulsory swimming lessons for all officers following a realisation that most of its junior and senior officers are incapable of conducting waterborne operations because they cannot swim.

According to Nigerian media, the incompetence of naval officers was revealed by Flag Officer commanding the Nigerian Navy's Naval Training Command (NTC) Rear Admiral Goddy Anyankpele in his keynote address to guests who attended the launch of the navy's first annual swimming competition at the Onne Naval Base in Rivers State late last week.

Those units are not even more than 100. SANDF boasts about having over 80% indigenously made military hardware within its domestic defence industries.

No NATO would not intervene, just like NATO wont intervene now that Russians are fighting NATO ally Ukraine

And there are many recorded incidents

By the time 32 moved up to sweep the area, it was getting dark, and the 32 soldiers were somewhat surprised to find the bodies of people dressed in Russian uniforms in and amongst the carnage wrought by the air strike, continuing their sweep towards a kraal they were fired upon, immediately the fire was returned and the kraal over run. To their utter amazement they found several more dead Russians amongst them two women, to one side an unwounded Russian Warrant Officer

Those were mercenaries or just a whole false story

NATO jets are already in Ukraine, F-18 Hornets, who told you they did not intervene already?

NATO is not yet attacking because Russia too is not directly attacking Ukraine.

Russia sends artillery pieces into Ukraine, Jams their signals to a point they don't use UAV(s) a lot, Russia sends special forces into Ukraine and more.

USA is supplying Ukraine with equipment from counter-mortar radars to safety googles.

USSR soldiers and their allies as far from North Korea bleed and died in Angola.

Poachers are not military formation nor militants, they are just criminals who sneak around in the dark. They invaded west Africa and finished all Nigeria's rhinos ages ago without a single one of them being arrested.

However, I still stand by my own words that only 10 000 SANDF soldiers will hold the whole of Nigeria under siege.
