Jake, here they are, they are coming back. So if we add this 3 units, it would increase our lift capability considerably. 6 C-130s in all.

jakeporeshenko:

Additional units can be acquired, the King Air is still the best contender don't you think so ? And I don't think I would be satisfied with the C-295 replacing the G.222s, the new C-27J spartan would better fulfill this roll in my opinion.

Charley, there is a big event holding in Ghana in October, I hope you would be attending.

Big air show in Accra, it's been billed as the biggest African air show this year.

Hopefully Nigerian companies get to participate.

So, what you say?

Its British DPM cammo

Its very good, and you can get it cheap.

I think there are a couple of other African nations that use it: Tanzania, Malawi?

Some bad news out of the DRC:

2 Hinds belonging to FARDC crashed around midday on Friday in bad weather. 2 Rooivalk were sent out to locate the choppers. Both helicopters came to rest on the slopes of Mount Mikeno, about 500m apart. Five personnel (2 Congolese and 3 Russians crew members) in total were rescued from the Mi-24 crash sites. The rescue operation took place at around 15:00UTC. 2 Rooivalk provided overwatch, 1 Oryx hoisted the crew with another in support. Three of the occupants of the FARDC Mi-24s were wounded and airlifted to Goma.

The 2 Hinds were part of 4 that were refurbished in Ukraine in 2012.

Lol ..... Baba, it's my kind of thing na. I won't miss it for the world.

Our CAS is doing a brilliant job. I just wish he was CAS when we had money, we know where we would have reached by now. He has also made the Air Force so people friendly, a service you can reach out to and communicate with. Basically bringing our Air Force to us.

This would be great for our lift capability. You by any chance have an idea of the company contracted to do the work?

I remember the job on NAF 913 was done by BCgneeds. I wonder if they are the same guys handling this one.

Souljaboi1:


I remember when this pushback was just launched at the former 401 ACMD A.G.E. Ikeja.

We used to take great pride in riding it then. Myself, MWO Maaji, MWO Jaja, MWO Babatunde and our HOD MWO Suleiman.

How time flies.

Naaah, reply me the day you have a missile in your airforce.

iblawi:


Guy we know South Africa can be really dumb but yours is becoming something else. You should have observed how your fellow South African left you with your stupid claims and Nigerians didn't even bother replying you.

Do CH-3 drone carry missiles?

Do J7 carry missiles?

We don't need your type here.

I long ago accepted the price of national development is a long running LIC with AS or rather their foreign backers. As sad as it is to say while this wasn't a near total fvuckup like El adde you win some you lose some-thats war!
My own info has 30 kdf kia with 70 AS dead. Rmbr these are better and smarter than the previous fighters who mainly got KIA or surrendered.

[s]Actually, you're dumb.

Having a platform doesn't mean you have the missile on it.

There's no SIPRI record of Nigeria purchasing missiles for those platforms. Case close. As for your J7, it's now scrap metal that's why you have gone back to your trainer jet as your backbone plane.... America of West Africa...[/s]
