Patchesagain:india air force is not keeping its SU-30 in the hangar they are seriously abusing those machines .they are being invited to red flag also the royal air force have invited for joint training ,they have won within visual range combat against F-15 and euro typhoon and when it comes to beyond visual range combat non of the western combat jets can compare with the number air to air missiles the russians su-30 jets can carry .a su-30 with modern digital radio frequency memory monopulse jammers is capable of causing likely much more than a 50 percent degradation of beyong visual range missile kill probability also a SU-30 can switch off its radar and use its OLS-30 laser-optical Infra-red search and track to shoot its opponent |

lionel4power:Honestly I don't get aircraft generation classification anymore, every time I read about the JF17 its classified as a 3rd generation aircraft.....I always thought the fact that an aircraft has digital fly by wire distinguished it from 3rd generation, I do however understand that most civilian news outlets have little to no knowledge on military matters, but when PAC themselves classify the JF17 as 3rd gen But anyway hope for your guys sake you receive a decent amount of Aircraft, I feel 25-30 units is the absolute minimum. |

africaken:Why are you ignoring the infra-red search and track capability of western fighters? The west currently has better AAMs both SRAAMs and BVRAAMs. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 9:47pm On Dec 31, 2015 |
andrewza: Nigeria has a requirement for 25-40 fighter jets or 3 squadrouns. If eventually confirmed by the F.G, the incoming jets would represent only a start of a much wider delivery. |

jln115: Everyone considers it as 4G fighter jet even the west see it as a Gripen from the east. The most important thing is that our is likely to be block 2 which is comparable to Gripen C. The block 3 will be a 4++ generation jet. Just that we want to see them land on Nigerian soil before we make noise. I guess we are getting 3 next year.

iblawi:The g limit for the Gripen is +9/-3 not +8.5g also the climb rate of the Gripen is classified, but its estimated to be more than 250m/s. Anyway your photo on the otherhand proves the Gripen is on another level. Faster Higher payload Shorter landing distance More manoeuvrable Better thrust to weight And not mentioned is that the Gripen also has better: Radar EW suit HMI Much lower RCS. Ect ect ect Pic1: Screen shot I posted little over a year ago, its a PDF file supplied by PAC, the source was initially posted by @Agaugust, so credit should go to him.

jln115:by how much faster? will your pilot fly at Mach 2? What's the difference in payload? You saw only the landing distance right? What of the take off distance and combat radius etc. Don't be blinded by hatred, it's not good and it makes you look like a dummy. I don't know where you got your radar, EW suit, HMI and RCS info of JF 17 thunder from. How is the Gripen on another level? Am not even saying gripen is better or the JF 17 is better, all am saying is that they are mate. The info hear is even that of block 1 and not even block 2. Were you not ashamed when you posted this junk? Happy new year all the same. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by lionel4power(m): 7:35am On Jan 01, 2016 |
jln115:well the JF-17 doesnt really give you an irection when the name is mentioned.. but you have to understand it from a Nigerian point-of-view, we havent had any good fighter for years now.. any change would be welcomed wholeheartedly. yes its quite lagging behind the gripen in some critical areas but the gripen is just an expensive aircraft with almost the same capabilities with the Thunder. if we can get the thunder in significant numbers then thats a good thing... if you look deeply at other airforces around the world (not the big names USAF, RAF, IAF, FrAF, Luftwaff e.t.c), you'll notice that less richer countries are comfortable with just simple aircraft systems. BUT THE TRUTH IS IF YOU COMPARE TO SIMILAR AIRCRAFT OF THE SAME CLASS, YOU WONT GET IDENTICAL SPECS... THE DECIDING FACTORS ISNT REALLY THE AIRFRAME BUT THE TYPE OF RESOURCES AND SUPPORT IT CAN CALL UPON E.G RADAR COVERAGE, REINFORCEMENTS, DATALINKS, GOOD TACTICS E.T.C |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by iblawi(m): 7:53am On Jan 01, 2016 |
lionel4power: The bottom line is we are comparing Gripen C with JF17 thunder block 1 but we are getting block 2 which has received many upgrades in many areas. Let's wait till we get genuine information on block 2. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 8:21am On Jan 01, 2016 |
MikeCZAR:because most of them dont have IRST ,it seems your current update on russian is outdated .this is a AESA seeker head of a K-77M (izdeliye 180) Missile,also we have K-77ME (izdeliye 180-BD) a ramjet model

iblawi:Cruise speed for the Gripen is also higher, thus if they are not flying at max speed, the Gripen will still be faster Gripen also has 8 hard points vs 7 and has a higher payload. The Gripen is arguably the most manoeuvrable aircraft in the world thanks to its very low wingloading. Also the EW suit on the Gripen is legendary, coupled with the most advanced data link in the world, world class locally developed HMD and locally developed HMI which is considered one of the most modern in any aircraft...then you get close to a world beater. Also the newest PS-05 Radar can track a 0.1m2 object at 120km. The frontal RCS of the Gripen is also well documented to be 0.1m2 from the front....The frontal RCS of the jf17 is 1-2m2 which isn't bad at all. Gripen also has a combat turnaround of 10min..the fastest of any fighter jet in the world. Lastly on the long run the Gripen will be cheaper to. I'm not trying to dis the JF17, for the money its a great little fighter...but you can't compare it to an aircraft that cost more than twice as much...you get what you pay for. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 12:58pm On Jan 01, 2016 |
lionel4power:Awesome post mate!! I agree 100%.... honestly the Gripen and JF17 aren't really competitors as they have a totally different target market, I'd say the JF17s biggest rivals would be the Tejas from india. The JF17 was built to be the workhorses of the PAF and which any country buys it, where as the Gripen would be the front line fighter. It would be awesome if you guys receive about 20-30 JF17s and then possibly 12-16 units of Su30s to serve as your primary front line fighter. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by iblawi(m): 1:33pm On Jan 01, 2016 |
jln115: What am saying is that there is no information on JF-17 thunder block 2 for now. If you know the difference between Gripen A & Gripen C you will know what am talking about. For now I can't say anything and We are still praying it comes this year. I just want to see them in Nigeria first. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by andrewza: 1:38pm On Jan 01, 2016 |
Henry240: the old SA defense review had a requirement for two light fighter squadrons and one meduime. Yet we got only the light. Things change and any case buying in small batches here and there is costly. Better to buy a larger batch even if it is on credit. It more cost effective |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 1:42pm On Jan 01, 2016 |
iblawi:In terms of raw performance there isn't much difference between the Gripen A and Gripen C Anyway here are the specifications from PAC on the JF17 http://www.pac.org.pk/jf-17 |
