medic555: Hahahahaha damn true. They don't need to be stationed in southwest before their presence can be seen. The CAS said the NAF is ready to be deployed to anywhere in Nigeria in 15 minutes. Could be some kind of sorty but Infact I doubt if you fit find any jet for Ibadan as we dey talk. |

medic555:It could be a mutant large bird But if I get you correctly, you mean contrails. Airplanes with jet engines do that |

Odunayaw: What he's talking about isn't contrail. I do sight it around ologuneru too. It goes really fast but then I no sabi anything. I was actually talking to my brother few weeks ago about the stuff. Then I do think it's some rocket ish. It's been years I last noticed it. 1 Like |

tdayof:Actually there is a possibility of the jets flying in from NAF 222 Wings base at Ilorin. They are responsible for the south western flank of our border. Alpha jets used to be stationed there(don't know about now sha). Not all the F-7 are stationed at TAC so its just might truly be an F7 . How wish you could tell the sound then I would tell you weather it was an alpha or F-7. |

slimthugchimee:Enugu and port Harcourt are the home of the helicopters so fast jets are only guests once in a while. |

Kalapizim:those things fly very high, soo high that you can hardly see what it is, unlike the normal jets and helicopters........during that operation python dance, I was able to clearly see the A-jets fly pass and also their engine roar, but you can't even hear those things roar |

Three UN peacekeepers, one Malian soldier killed in Mali attack The mission (MINUSMA) said the soldiers came under fire during a joint operation in the Menaka region near Mali’s border with Niger where raids by jihadist groups, some with links to al Qaeda and Islamic State, have spiked over the last year. “I condemn in the strongest terms this attack that has once again befallen the MINUSMA force as well as the (Malian army),” U.N. mission head Mahamat Saleh Annadif said in a statement. The mission did not specify the nationalities of the soldiers. Jihadist groups have exploited the porous borders between Mali and neighbouring Niger and Burkina Faso to expand their range of operations, alarming Western powers who fear the growing influence of Islamist radicalism in the region. A 2013 French-led military intervention drove back militants who had seized control of Mali’s desert north a year earlier, but they have regrouped and now launch regular attacks against Malian soldiers, U.N. peacekeepers and civilians.

Adminisher: I see your point. No wonder Iran refused to buy Russian t-90 tanks, they prefer made in Iran tanks that are same level as modernized t-72. Iran also refused to buy downgraded su-30 from Russia, they say it's either the best su-30SM version or su-35, or else no deal. Iran says they are tired of inferior weapons that super powers dump on 3rd world nations, and Iran also wants full local maintenance capability for su-30 or else they will not buy jets that will make them always depend on foreign technical support in time of war and embargo. With all these points you people are raising here, maybe Sudan will end up with downgraded su-35 that will not be able to beat NAF jf-17 block iiii that has AESA radar, but sha, there is no plan for NAF to buy air refueling, the NAF boys said it costs extra $50 million for air refuelling planes and no need to refuel in air against Boko Haram.

newafricaken254: To be fair, a significant portion seem to have been damaged in battle - look at the pics, most of them have destroyed axles (IED/Mine strikes) and other serious body damage. This is generally, however, a major issue when smaller militaries deploy far from home. When NATO deploys, they bring along huge mechanic depos and motor-pools equipped with all the bells and whistles, run by a small army of technicians - most smaller militaries dont have the ability to deploy that kind of capacity. Even the SANDF, for example, a while back that we were facing huge problems in the DRC. Having to transport heavy engineering equipment (diggers, graders etc) all the way back to RSA just to get serviced. Further, considering the low levels of human capital on the continent - the risk v reward of deploying a skilled (and rare) technician to a warzone (where you may lose him) means that allot of commanders would rather leave them back in the depo at home. But, hey, maybe they could take a leaf out of our book and bring in some Cubans to get things back on track 2 Likes
