Yes, the problem comes also comes from maintenance cycles between flying.

F-15? Really now Henry?

Did a Saudi F-15 drop into the sea of aden recently?

Okay then, show us the ISTAR console inside your Lynx and tell us it`s flight endurance hours, plus altitude that will not let ZSU-23 eat it up

The beauty of a datalink is that it does not need to have a console inside of it

[s]ATR-42 Surveyor of NAF has 407 km radar range ! Fact !

Multi-mission capable for air to land and air to sea ISTAR.

It also does partial AWACS for secondary air to air ISTAR missions.

It`s radar is jamming proof and anti-ECM.

Facts ! All Factual Facts !

We are not talking about crashes!

You keep sying Nigeria wasted money on ISTAR like ATR-42, yet South African air force chief of staff was crying and begging ANC government for money to buy ordinary Beechcraft ISTAR that NAF has been using for years, yet Pretoria government keeps saying no money.

I am sure SAAF is ready to buy NAF aircraft second-hand on credit if we allow your cash-broke SANDF to tender for sale on credit
.

You really want to compare who has more money?

SANDF budget is allmost double yours, and soon it will be quadruple yours

agaugust:


[s]#ignorance.

We have educated you many times about Nigerian procurement list and secret proceedures.

Procurement takes time, but NAF has named it`s platforms to be purchased and we have evaluated them.

Tucano was dropped and NAF chose Su-25 Frogfoot Scorpion Variant for COIN, even Janes Defence says so :

http://www.janes.com/article/48842/nigeria-looking-for-more-attack-aircraft

Su-30, JF-17 have been evaluated. Choices will be made, one or both jets.

Nigerian military procurement is covered up in secrecy.

We even see secret new combat helicopters inside NAF base, Eurocopters arrived from France secretly now, it was NEVER announced...[/s]
.

Su-25 Frogfoot, Tucano, Su-30, JF-17, T80 Oplot, AirLand Scorpion, ATAK helicopter...

The list of imaginary new toys grows by the day

Radar will do detection as done by radars. Simple.

ATR-42 radar range is 407 km NOT 330 km.....point of correction....407 km for NAF radar.

Get it right !

Prove it

Henry120:


All of them are swing role fighters retarrd!!

Also my classification was primarily based on capabilities.

No, they are multi-role, strike fighters and air-superiority fighters.

Different classes with completely different capabilities.

The irony that you call me a "retarrd" when you think an F-16 is in the same category of aircraft as a Rafael or Eurofighter

My sides

SANDF data-link has not helped them against Rhino poachers dribbling their entire air force and 21 battalion + special forces combined

Link.ZA exists only on paper

Multiple instances of the use of LinkZa to perform capabilities Nigeria could only dream of have been posted on multiple occasions.

Rhino poaching is not a military concern or duty

You mean the ugly side of it's incapacity.

Consoles process data, so data-link has no console to analyse data......becomes half useless, the target is NON-IDENTIFIED, your Hawk jet just attacks anything that moves in that target location even if it is a friend....

F-7 jet of PAF and BAF carry air to surface guided weapons for ground attack, and recce pod for surveillance.

That's multi-role. F-7 jet is an interceptor and strike fighter http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=1052

Strike-fighter/interceptor =/= multi-role

Henry120:


You are obviously senile!


The T-72B3, T-80U and T-90A2 are more than a match for any western MBT. The T-14 is on a whole new level. It is pound for pound the best MBT in the world.


Indian MKI's are the best in their class. The Problem with the incidences with Indian MKI's are primarily down to indian maintenance/ mechanical faults. HAL bears primary responsibility for for their action or inaction with india's SU fleet.

Western, Primarily US made fighter jets have been involved in more crashes than those from Russia in the last half a decade.

The T-72 is literally the worst tank in the world. Its only amazing capabilities is its world renowned crew killing technology

And no, those platforms do not stand a chance against the latest gen of Western MBTs - hency why russia felt compelled to build a new tank

agaugust:


Means you are too dull to understand basic terminology.

All F-7 jets are built for multi-role, interceptor and strike roles combined....including NAF F-7NI jets.

ATR-42 Surveyor radar range is 407 km.....that's confirmed now.

Live with it.....oh ! You are afraid of the African king of radars ? Cool.

Trust me, I don't make claims without evidence. It's 407 km radar on NAF ATR-42 just confirmed.

We enjoy the fear and terror Nigerian ISTAR gives 50 million South Africans

agaugust:


[s]Fool, ATR-42 is a long range ISTAR platform, it does NOT fly into battlefield if their is capable threat. Yet ATR-42 Surveyor has anti-missile self defences, chaff/flare counter measures, and anti-jamming devices.

NAF ATR-42 does not use only radar you M0R0N, it has long range TV camera with magnification lens to video watch the battlefield from a safe distance beyond reach of enemy air defences, and if need be it can be escorted by jet fighters to stop enemy jets in the air.

No country in the world flies ISTAR aircraft into battle theatre of air to air threats without escort by fighter jets. You are a domingo block head.

SANDF/SAAF does not have any ISTAR aircraft with long range TV camera for visuals of battlefield from same distance, you will never understand ISTAR until 50 million South Afrivans raise funds via bank loan to buy one of Nigeria's type of aircraft [/s]
.

Load of nonsense that contradicts what you said about the Gripen and its recce pods.

ATR-42 is designed for maritime patrol, it is incapable of operating in a contested airspace.

and they still won't see anything wrong with this fact because it's WESTERN.

these south africans and their western as5licking is just too obvious.

that's why their government wants to covertly arrest bashir so their western lords will praise them.

We want to arrest Bashir because he is a fvcking war-criminal

Western tech is superior to russian tech as has been shown in a plethora of wars - from Isreal buttfvcking the whole arab world (three times), to the Americans turning Iraq into a massive pile of stones and bones and to the Indians turning pakistani's into pink mist.

Henry120:


- No evidence.

- you cannot read and understand properly. Seems to be a severe structural flaw you South-Africans have in your educational system. I said, they are more than a match for any western system, and the T-14 is simply in a whole new class above anything anyone has.

- the Problem is from India, not the Russians. Thousands of fighter planes fly with Russian engines. Chinese 5th Generation fighters are powered by Russian engines. The Chinese fly over a hundred SU-30s, Same as Russia, Indonesia etc etc.

Western Fighter jets in the last decade have a worse reliability record. Hungary lost 2 Gripen Jets in one month(may). F-16 and F-15's have been falling of the sky like they got hit by a high frequency EMP burst.


The SU-30's are very capable fighters hence they need proper maintenance.

T-14 cant even complete a parade without breaking down and is hardly a match for things like the K2 or Type 10. Its not even that advanced, its systems can be found on multiple tanks and unmanned turrets are old news

Also, it still uses an ammunition carousel - which means one hit and it will pop its cork in the manner made so famous by the T-72

agaugust:


[s]ATR-42 Long range TV cameras with magnification of images you dummy

I forgot that you have English comprehension problems....do you know the meaning of image magnification lens ? No, you don't.

Even American and British ISTAR aircraft will be escorted by jet fighters if their is enemy air to air threat.

ATR-42 has anti-missle defense countermeasures.

NAF F-7 jets will face your Gripen jets and trust NAF has an edge with ATR-42 mini AWACS role, the 407 km radar has air to air mode and the Gripen will be detected before the Gripen detects the ATR-42.

We act before you, the ATR-42 monitors the entire battle space and we see your Gripens before they see our ISTAR and interceptors
