who uses the F-5 today? Many countries are retiring the F-5s, na only African countries still dey o for them. This one that Buhari is begining to move us westward, don't you think it is possible that what they are likely to sell to us would be the F-5, given the way those guys still see Africa?

i have come to notice that only the Russians do camouflage their hardwares. The west don't do the same. Russian tanks, ground-based air defence systems, nuclear war heads as well as fighters are camouflaged.

Nato countries apart from France, Germany and Turkey all do whatever America does. Exact replica, it doesn't matter whether it suits them or not, they just all follow.

That's a Russian Soldier photo-shopped with a futuristic helmet. The helmet in that photo isn't real, same as the rifle.

The only country i know whose Special forces use similar Masks , but not advanced are Taiwanese Special forces.

The United States will deliver eight F-16 Block 52 aircraft to Egypt within the next two days, the U.S. embassy in Cairo said in a statement on Thursday, part of a military package that had been unfrozen earlier this year.

The statement said Washington would deliver four more F-16s to Egypt this autumn.

Despite U.S. lawmakers' concerns that Egypt is lagging on democratic reforms, Egypt remains one of Washington's closest security allies in the region.

Relations had cooled after former President Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood was overthrown by the military in 2013 after mass protests against his rule, but ties with former general Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who was later elected to succeed him, have steadily improved.

In late March, U.S. President Barack Obama lifted a hold on a supply of arms to Cairo, authorizing deliveries of U.S. weapons valued at more than $1.3 billion.

At the time he directed the release of 12 Lockheed Martin F-16 aircraft, 20 Boeing Harpoon missiles, and up to 125 M1A1 Abrams tank kits made by General Dynamics.

For sure, it's a photoshop.
The Soldier in that photo is a Russian Soldier in Crimea, he is also facing front and not to his left side as the photoshop would have us believe.

My photo is a Russian Ratnik Soldier system.

Can you provide any link that confirms the "photoshop" above as been a RatniK Soldier System?
