I claimed an order would be made for OPV's or SANDF in general? The one item which I was punting was the ground based Umkhonto. Denel and DOD were pretty much married on it (unofficially) especially after the qualification test. But qualification doesn't mean a final product, so Denel is waiting on DOD to provide further risk assessment funds. As I know it, an estimated number of units had been agreed discussed, but DOD stalling.

So picture bleak/on hold as DOD has pretty much run out of new money in the past 12 months.

Thank you. I think you need to comprehend the post first then come back and retype some sense. Nothing is ignorant, stupid and or retarded in my comments. I chose my words carefully. Every word has a meaning. The NAF is not the USAF. But the USAF is now adopting the approach of the NAF to counter low-level threats. The only draw back of the Tucanos is it's slow speed otherwise is as advanced as any 4th generation fighter in the USAF. Facts don't kill even it's to the detriment of Nigeria I'll say it. Nigeria is not stupid to go invading Morocco or Algeria with propeller driven aircrafts alone. So the stupidity is in your post. By the way get some self esteem. Insults don't give self confidence.

even after weapon package is out..... even types and nos

classified my ass !

what happened to all the covert deal, top secret, highly classified ....... alll blabbering went out in a fart......

next time dont refer me

i had stopped posting here becz i dont want to derail the thread.

a 5 year kid can see through this nonsense typed here without any head or tail.

We hold the truth dear because it is self-evident. It's clear in the link sensitive material is classified. Own up. Again you are caught. Before it was Iblawi who caught you. When I came onboard.

You come here to plagiarize content and think everyone is blind who can't see in the land of the blind. Shoot! Talk of arrogance.

You can run but you can't hide. Imma call out out every time a covert post is validated and certainly they will. I know that and I know your ego have a problem with that. This time it is written in black and white, take the wool off your eyes and stop acting with ignominy.

Own up when u're caught hands down. I'll not join issues with cos I don't have the time else I'll rubbish this nonsense again about when package being out. Don't make yourself what you are not in a cheap gamble to lead the blind on nairaland. If the guys here were asking you questions about what you write you'd be left here looking stupid all the time.

Who has the the time to refer you. Scroll is why by chance I happen to gloss your post. When a trained person write I see through it and when a wannabe expert write I see through it. I don't have that patience for pieces with no empirical substance.

A 5 year old kid would see the headless and tailless rant you put up as defence for your exposure.

By the way where's your "saintjoel" moniker. You have repeatedly failed in your assumptions of who I am. Quit trying.

Covert1:


Lunacy is when you think nairaland is a place to be important or show importance. Its self evident in your retort you are not in the intelligent quotient of my audience. Ignorance can be delusional.

Propeller or horsedriven aircraft, it's a stupid analogy you drew up. so yes you are more stupid than I actually give you credit for and no it's not an insult.

Henry240:

Your antics and quick drive to display acute stupidity in this thread has always been unacceptable.

Probably for a lack of attention you received as a child or a different mental issue, i seriously advice you seek a psychiatrist help.

The gods are lenient with the resident Indian this day. We hold the truth dear because it is self-evident. The resident Indian should own up being caught pants down. It is clear in black and white in lay mans language sensitive material in the sale is classified in the link Jake provided. And if I had time I'd reap apart the nonsense about weapons package being in the open. Thinking everyone is blind in the land of the blind is arrogance.

It's not the first time since I came onboard. Iblawi was the first to catch him red handed. This is the second time. If only the guys dared to ask questions. Coming here to plagiarize content is not smartness. There's a difference between a trained agent and a wannabe expert. There's only trained and untrained.

A 5 year old kid can see between and through the headless and tailless rant for a retort to truth that's evident for all to see.

By the way whatever happened to the resident indian's many monnikers like "saintjoel". It is futile to try to know who I am. You have repeatedly failed. Quit trying.

The NAF has completed the airlift of 38,000kg of relief materials to Freetown, Sierra Leone, following the recent mudslide and flood, which led to the loss of several lives and properties. The relief materials were donated by the Federal Government of Nigeria towards alleviating the suffering of the people affected by mudslide and flood in Sierra Leone. The airlift, which was conducted in 5 sorties with NAF C-130 Hercules aircraft, is in partial fulfilment of the statutory responsibility of the NAF.

Can this plane survive the AA guns prevalent in the zone?

jakeporeshenko:

By region do you mean NE Nigeria it West Africa?

Eh ehm let’s keep it realistic, these aircrafts might be unmatched for the COIN role but what does that have to do with balancing air power in the region ?

Covert1:


By region I mean Africa. West Africa is our sub-region. North-East Nigeria encompasses Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states where the Nigerian Military is currently engaged in active counter terrorism operations.

Presently the Nigerian Air Force considers itself a credible threat and deterrence and among the foremost Air Forces that currently exist in the region. But gaps exist some of which the A-29 covers. The A-29 is not only primed for COIN. It is a 4th generation aircraft effective for the ground attack role and interdiction in a low threat environment.

This procurement sees an advanced suite and weapons systems on the Embraer A-29 Super Tucano non-existent currently in sub-Saharan Africa and arguably only Egypt comes close. Integrated in a complex of systems and assets for air-superiority, air-defence, ECM/EW, early warning, C&C, targeting and strike etc and very importantly pilot skill and capacity makes the NAF far more potent and viable than previously existed bringing hitherto unchallenged and uncontested air space into contention. This alters the current balance of air power in the region.

how dare u insult my covert posts

u gonna start learning to read the covert meaning.... behind the covert meaning..... behind the covert meaning..... behind the whatever.............. ur reading

SupremeCourt:


No country in West Africa has American paveway bombs that blow up targets with precision from 20km away. Nobody else has it, only NAF. Balance of power has changed by far, fast and furious!
