Equivalent does not in many way or shape mean same capability.

The F16 is tried and tested and PROVEN unlike the simulated much lower quality JF17 Pakistan manufactured in association with Chinese.

It's very cheap in comparison.

But if NAF had gone for F-16, you'd still complain about US ammunition been too expensive and we can get more value of that with JF17 which is similar.
No offense, but sometimes I feel you just enjoy being controversial and trying to critic every single asset we're acquiring.
I too have my personal reservations about NAF but let's not delve into that today.

It seems similar to the USAF Bronco see YouTube clip below. It's been around for donkey years. Instead of the A29 l would have procured the Bronco at dirt cheap used prices for an airframe that's been retired.

In Somalia, 2 men who raped and murdered a 9-year-old boy, have been executed by a firing squad in the city of Baidoa.

More wahala for Nigerian Army. We pray this doesn't turn into another insurgency that Nigeria will have to deal with. This was how Boko Haram started oh.

BTW, in case you've not heard, two IPOB members were shot to death today by NPF during a violent clash between the duo. One member of the NPF was clubbed to death.

GeneralMarshall:
This week seems to be very good for the army and air force in the NE. ISWAP has lost a many commanders and hundreds of fighters due to intelligence led operations by our gallant troops.

Fyi,this demonic ishyt is wayyyy more common in Somalia than you may think. Somalis,though will DIE before admitting anything-IIRC,a decade ago a whole block of flats in Eastleigh was full of their homos:at night you'd see UN and diplomatic vehicles coming to pick up their flat,faggoty,dusty broken arses.

TROOPS OF OPERATION WHIRL STROKE BUST TERRORISTS CELL; RECOVER EXPLOSIVES, ARMS AND AMMUNITION IN NASARAWA, AS 410 MEMBERS OF DARUL SALAM TERRORISTS GROUP SURRENDER

1. In continuation of aggressive clearance operations aimed at decisively riding the North-Central zone of armed banditry and other forms of criminality, troops of Operation WHIRL STROKE have recorded a major success against the criminal elements.

2. Following aggressive intensive kinetic operations at identified bandits' enclaves, not less than 410 members of the Darul Salam Terrorists group, including women and children, surendered to the troops of operation WHIRL STROKE and other security agencies deployed at Uttu in Toto Local Government Area of Nasarawa State. This development took place on 25 August 2020.

3. Relatedly, troops of Operation WHIRL STROKE while on a robust clearance patrol around Uttu, on 26 August 2020 stormed a Darul Salam terrorists bomb-making factory following actionable technical and human intelligence on the activities of the terrorists in the general area. In the course of the operation, troops recovered several Improvised Explosive Device making materials at the location including 2 scales, 6 rocket launcher bombs, one bag of fertilizer, half a bag of gun powder, 10 locally made hand grenades, one Rocket Propelled Grenade bomb fuse, one locally made Rocket Launcher, 2 Improvised Explosive Devices,13 Improvised rocket bombs, amongst others. The camp was subsequently destroyed while troops are equally combing the surrounding forests for fleeing members of the sect.

4. The Military High Command commends the gallant troops of Operation WHIRL STROKE for their professionalism and dexterity in achieving this notable feat and also urges them to sustain the tempo in the push to decisively curtail the activities of armed bandits and other criminals operating in the North-Central zone.

Interestingly Philippines and Colombia are replacing their Broncos with A29s while the rest of the OV10 fleet went directly to the scrapyard or museums on display.

This frame looks capable and available and most assuredly BETTER VALUE, if Indeed we are talking $10/12 million. Then one should expect complete delivery within 12 months not 6 years.

My issue has always been about " BEST VALUE " and the availability. We need assets desperately NOW not Tomorrow because we are fighting a current bloody existential threat and war.

No amount of spin can hide the fact that we are seriously struggling on multiliple fronts on this war.

It seems similar to the USAF Bronco see YouTube clip below. It's been around for donkey years. Instead of the A29 l would have procured the Bronco at dirt cheap used prices for an airframe that's been retired.

That means acquisition will be in multiples of 20 maybe 60 aircraft. That would make a huge impact. Using the approach most effective use of scarce resources for the greatest impact.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gP8sqgqEFw



If we complemented the acquisition with 50 Wing Loong II UAV's. Then we would have 24/7/365 complete situational aware and offensive response over the entire areas of contention in the North.

The aircraft was underpowered especially when loaded down with ordnance

Aircrews found the Bronco maneuverable, with the spoilers providing an excellent rate of roll, but it[b] was underpowered; if one of the engines was lost at airspeeds below 220 KPH (120 knots), standard procedure was to punch out immediately[/b]. As the Bronco almost always operated at low altitude, going into a dive to build up speed was not usually an option.

With its two 715-hp Garrett T76-G-410/412 turboprops...Even so, the OV-10 was generally regarded as underpowered, which led to its eventual demise.
