NAF F-7 jet radar sophistication defeats SAAF Gripen jet obsolescent radar


[/size]

Every time, the Italian Grifo radar gets new upgrades even on the same model, they imporve and modernize the radar technology all the time.

Nigeria purchased the Italian Grifo 7 radar for her F-7 jets giving them the latest year 2005 technology sophistication and 55 km range, also giving excellent scanning and detection of enemy targets above, below, in front, at rear, and sideways.

No escape for any enemy from any angle as this radar gives F-7 jets 360 degree all round protection by detection.

The NAF F-7NI Grifo radar has been tested in REAL LIFE COMBAT SCENARIOS and was victorious against both NATO and Russian bloc jet fighter radars in combat drills.

Coupled with the ~BVR missiles, the PL-9C with 35 km range, NAF F-7NI is rated one of the best combat aircraft in Africa and a superior attacker to the South African Gripen jets which operate a 20 year old radar dated back to 1995 era and the near obsolete SAAF radar is worsened by the Gripen jets short legged range 25 km missiles.




Selex Galileo Improves Grifo Radar for New Application

"Selex Galileo has added new modes to the long-selling Grifo fire control radar and has also designed a pod-mounted version. Angelo Aprile, the company’s head of capability in Italy, told the Military Flight Training conference in London organized by Defence IQ that more than 450 “advanced but affordable” Grifo systems have been sold worldwide. Applications include the F-5E/F, Mirage III, L-159, F-7 (Chinese-built MiG-21bis) and Sikorsky HH-60 helicopter. The most recent announced sale was last year–a second order by the Brazilian air force for its F-5 fleet.

The Grifo radar already includes a variety of air-to-air and air-to-surface modes, including ground mapping and maritime target track, as well as a terrain avoidance mode, according to Aprile. The new air-to-surface modes are simultaneous MTI with SAR and automatic target classification. The new air-to-air modes are raid assessment and air-to-air inverse SAR (AA/ISAR). Aprile said that the AA/ISAR feature is invaluable for non-cooperative target recognition, and showed a pixelated image of an opposing combat aircraft that was clearly identifiable by type.

Aprile said that the Grifo’s ECCM capability has been proven in real threat scenarios. “We have had the opportunity to test against Eastern as well as Western technology,” he added. The podded version, designated Grifo-7, is designed for light attack and trainer aircraft such as the Chinese-designed K-8 jet or the Alenia-Aermacchi MB339. The pod is easily installed on underwing hardpoints and, says Selex Galileo, provides multimode performance that closely replicates that obtained from a typical nose-mounted installation.

Selex Galileo continues to market the Grifo for advanced jet trainers that can also serve as light combat aircraft. According to Aprile, the Grifo’s best detection and tracking performance has been obtained on the Czech L-159 advanced light combat aircraft. The nose of the Alenia-Aermacchi M346 advanced jet trainer was designed to accept the Grifo radar. Selex Galileo has also studied how the radar could be fitted to the Romanian IAR-99 jet trainer. According to Aprile, light combat aircraft fitted with the Grifo can be effective interceptors of larger, fourth-generation fighter types. Or in the training role, they save money by “downloading” portions of the operational conversion syllabus that is currently flown by expensive front-line combat aircraft. "

You still havent shown how it is better, no where in your link does it say anything about 360 degree radar coverage.

And the link I posted clearly shows Grifo 7 was first fitted on a jet in 1996

You dont have BVR missiles.

Outcome remains the same, Grip detect first, maneuver out of F-7's radar cone and attack from the sides - where it is blind.

If you wish to argue that your radar is better - then tell us how and why.

Whats the difference if 3000 soldiers are fully kitted in a training exercise compared to a real combat situation? They have the kit! they will thus have the same kit in combat situations as well.

Like we ever doubted the SAN wasn't culpable in the "mis-firing" of Mr. Anthony Day. The SANDF has a history of incompetence, ineptitude and sheer stup1dity.

Here's another incident showing the gross incompetence of the SANDF and her poorly trained men.




Johannesburg - An SANDF unit could possibly have fired the mortar shell that crashed into a house in Brakpan, on the East Rand, an army spokesperson said on Monday.

"We are still verifying pieces of information we have which suggest that one of the SA National Defence Force units was involved," spokesperson Xolani Mabanga said on Monday.


Police said on Sunday that a 20-year-old woman was injured when the mortar shell crashed through the roof of her house on Saturday.

The woman was in a critical but stable condition in a hospital in Benoni.

She was named in media reports on Monday as Felicia Klopper. She reportedly suffered a cracked skull and shoulder injuries when the mortar shell hit her head.

Police spokesperson Kabelo Marumo said on Monday that police were investigating.

"We will provide an update as soon as we get more information," he said.

The woman's home was reportedly near the Apex Military Base in Dalview, Brakpan.

Mabanga said mortars were used by the military, and its operations were normally conducted by more than one person.

"During peace time it is something we use in training, or for the purposes of demonstration, but not within a residential area."

He said the military used training areas or a shooting range to do demonstrations.

The maximum range of this type of mortar was 2.5km, he said.

South African navy cannot shoot straight, South African army cannot shoot on target. No wonder Rhino poachers defeated SANDF on homeland soil.

If Boko Haram war is fought inside Soweto townships, South African army will be cracking the skulls of innocent women like this madam Felicia, while the real enemy will escape after rampaging and ravishing South Africa's civilian population inside their homes.

SANDF can never win a war at home....madam Felicia got her innocent skull drilled by incompetent Southie infantry men who fail to land a simple mortar on target....this army is worse than we ever thought, all they know is photography and monthly salary. SANDF = FAILURE MAGNETS gringringrin

Bwahahahaha gringringringrin

Okoko bioko !!!

South African navy cannot shoot straight, South African army cannot shoot on target. No wonder Rhino poachers defeated SANDF on homeland soil.

If Boko Haram war is fought inside Soweto townships, South African army will be cracking the skulls of innocent women like this madam Felicia, while the real enemy will escape after rampaging and ravishing South Africa's civilian population inside their homes.

SANDF can never win a war at home....madam Felicia got her innocent skull drilled by incompetent Southie infantry men who fail to land a simple mortar on target....this army is worse than we ever thought, all they know is photography and monthly salary. SANDF = FAILURE MAGNETS gringringrin

We obviously shoot straight enough

The South-Africans can kiss kiss kiss kiss good-bye their multiple wet dreams of any Transport planes. Uselessness of a country.



Johannesburg - A storm is brewing over the acquisition of new VIP jets for President Jacob Zuma and his Cabinet at a cost of R2 billion, just after Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene announced revised spending plans to reduce waste.

Netwerk24 reported that the three new VIP jets - a Boeing Business Jet and two new Falcon 900 Business Jets - were being acquired for "international commitments" as the president's international obligations have increased dramatically.

However, the money to be spent on the new jets was originally earmarked to buy crucial freight carriers needed for South African troops abroad.
