Interesting article and videos. An attack by Boko haram on a military formation in Banki 2014/2015 was comprehensively foiled by the Nigerian Army Nice one by the army. Good defensive positioning. 1 tank in frontal positioning, obstruction ditches around the camp. Boko haram were comprehensively whipped. My only problem is the follow up to these attacks. Viz surveillance overflights, re-enforcements by helicopters, air force back up for a fight lasting 12 hours almost. And fire pursuit of these morons as they retreat, knowing they will be short of ammunition and numbers. Even in the video, it's obvious that some of them don't even have weapons http://projects.voanews.com/boko-haram-terror-unmasked/ 1 Like |

Airborne360: The Yak-130 is currently the world's best trainer-light attack-aircraft. However I chose the L-15 which is also a sister aircraft of the Yak-130 and an excellent platform because it is unlikely that we would go for the Yak-130. The L-15 is the next best thing to the Yak-130. We've been buying Chinese, F-7 and JF-17, so the L-15 or the FTC-2000 seems like the choices we might go for. Zambian Air Force L-15 1 Like

Henry240:I think if we go for the yak , they'll arrive soon and faster than going for the L15 I think it boils down to those guys at the top if they're in need of new aircrafts. Moreover, I wish we could get some units of SU27 1 Like |

tdayof: Deliveries depends on how well we can mobilize. I don't think any would be faster than any when funds are available. Why do you want an SU-27? |

Henry240: Didn't know. How much does it cost to fly the JF17? Can't we please increase our military spending from 0.4 of our GDP to 1%? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 2:52pm On Feb 11, 2017 |
Henry240:F-18 costs range from $ 11,000 to 24,000 dollars,so your cost over inflated .by the way how much does it cost your president 737 jet per hour ! |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 3:04pm On Feb 11, 2017 |
africaken254: As at 2008, the cost of flying the F-15c was $17,000 per flight hour. The cost of flying the SU-30 is 2 times that of an F-15c, so that's $34,000 of 2008 dollars to fly an SU-30. When we take into account inflation, we would see that the price has gone up. So, my figures are in order. Estimated $40,000 to fly the SU-30 for every hour today.

Henry24o:I think yak130 will be better if we are to go for an AJet replacement. the yak130 is a successor to he Su25, so its better we go for yak130 which can later be upgraded to an attack/cas aircraft |

well US will never sell F15 , F18 to nigeria , and dont forget that nigeria is a big oil productor so cost flying per hour will decrease if nigeria refine it's oil. so the cost between contract and maintenance will not be a lot different . one thing important to not forget is the security of supply for its army and maintenance ,and geopilitic , added to the United States controls rules for its equipment and its important limitation on its use , nigerian army will not be free to use its jets if usa Is against this decision , the US can at any time cut off supplies under any circumstances (democracy , human right , a democratic nigerian pigeon killed by a reactor during take-off ![]() Nigeria for its strategic military contract for me, they should go for Russia or China only . 3 Likes |

africaken254: This is a verifiable figure, but a conservative estimate. I remember posting that of Uganda a while back. I'll search for it and post again. Even at 23,000 an hour, the cost is still very high. In my opinion, this is why the SU-30 is not an option we might consider. That's the point I was trying to make to Tdayof all along. 1 Like |
