Here i thought you were just craving cheese burgers

FieldMarshall06:


we pass coded messages, like intel men

Stephandesward:


What's the name of the drone and aeroplane?

JohnEagle96:
@fieldmarshall06 are you sure of drone NAF is acquiring?

medic555:
bosses in the house abeg in sincere opinion who is winning this war, are we or the terrorists winning because i dont get

JohnEagle96:
@fieldmarshall06 are you sure of drone NAF is acquiring?

dragon2:

It could also be the Cloud shadow drone,it is very similar in appearance to Wing Loong-10 and the Wing Loong-10 may have been developed from it.

JohnEagle96:

It is well bro, what I am concerned about as a Nigerian , is the advantage it will bring to the fight against insurgency and it's use in cross country intelligence gathering.

FieldMarshall06:


It has been in the news that NAF is expecting some UCAV. It is open info.

I only helped answer the regular question of "which drone". There it is for all of you. I call the purchase cheese burger

dragon2:


Agreed. Concerning deploying to new FOB's near enemy territory, I would have suggested that the soldiers have artillery fire support ahead of them. Interestingly,it seems that the boys that we lost are NAF- Sf. If true,this is a bit worrying. It suggests that the Air force is more determined than the Army is to get the Job done and inter-service co-ordination is sketchy.

JohnEagle96:
The DHq should avoid placing our troops as sitting duck in terrorist infested areas, Air assult like what they have been doing before now is the best method.
Strike Hard and Fast, Hit them on the point of their concentration and withdraw quickly with that their would be few remnants roaming about.

Toju200:
how sure are you..
How sure are you naf is acquiring an EW aircraft.

SamuelAnyawu:



In Northern Borno 7km outside any military barricade is an ISWAP territory

Tobiloba2407:


Yes, the chief of air staff, mentioned it, it would be stationed in benin, I was expecting mr on my radar to provide more info on it.
The chief kept calling it special mission aircraft, and from the little I gathered, but not verified it was to be based on a cessna cj3, modified for whatever specifically the aircraft was to be used for.

I remember the air chief, stating it would be used for the monitoring of our maritime
domain

The next project was production of a fuel-air-bomb, similar to the one used by the USAF in Vietnam. In addition the Golf bomb was designed and developed in two sizes, the larger being the FBU 460 for delivery by the hunter FGA-9, the smaller Mini Golf or FBU 70 delivered by the Lynx aircraft..

Another successful innovation was the Mini Golf bomb with a long, 1200-millimeter detonator in front of the body of the bomb itself. When dropping it from the plane under a parachute, the pin struck the surface of the ground, and detonation of the explosive occurred at a height of a meter above the surface. Due to the special composition of the explosive there was an effect, which was compared with the "mini-explosion of a nuclear bomb" - in the strike zone, this weapon destroyed absolutely everything alive without exception in an area of 100 by 150 meters. The use of this type of weapon was only occasional, but it had a very great psychological impact on Mugabe's armed groups.

The CB470 is a cluster bomb with a unique design. The conventionally shaped dispenser has been created around the existing round Alpha bomblet. A total of 40 bomblets are carried and each bomblet is provided with its own ejection door. Upon release the fuze each radial row of four bomblets with 0.8 second interval in order to maximize area of effect. The bomblet will first bounce on the ground, even on water or mud, before exploding mid air for increased fragmentation range
Each of the 40 bomblets has a RDX/TNT filling and will produce fragments that are effective against personnel, soft skin vehicles and other unarmored targets. A single CB 470 has a 70 m wide and 250 m long shrapnel footprint. When dropped at speeds of 850 to 1.000 km/h the CB470 can be safely dropped from altitudes as low as 25 meters.

Toju200:
the aircraft you're talking about I the aircraft for the Deep blue but will be operated by NAF.
And it's the Cessna Citation CJ3 with Israeli BIRD system. It can perform different task that's why it's called Special mission Aircraft.
It will have a data link that will live feeds and Intel/Info to The Falcon Eye system,DB C4I,And the two vessels DB Lagos and DB abuja

FieldMarshall06:


Very sure. Even the army got some new toys already delivered that very few peeps are aware of. Those army toys are quite strategic hence men kept quiet.

The NAF had already told us they are expecting UCAV. I just helped complete the info. For the EW & AEW aircrafts, they were long overdue. They are silent orders just like the VT-4 tank.
I opened up cos the aircrafts wouldn't be hidden.

FieldMarshall06:


There are moles or informants feeding ISWAP with intel. That is very clear.

They were setting up a FOB and attacked, smh.

Was there no risk assessment and safety precautions put in place. Anyway, quota system officers also contibute to battelfield casualties.

BabaOwen:
You can't just sit in your house and start talking about what you don't have an idea about.

LTGEN:

Could you at least confirm/deny whether the NA took delivery of the Javelin anti tank system ( Chinese version.

lebuhsi:
I stumbled upon this on twitter, it appears the NAF might have acquired a 4th jf-17, so it would appear we now have the NAF -722, NAF-721 and NAF -720, but also the NAF -702!...could it be the've been numbered?

Or better still, the NAF is acquiring 3 jf-17bs, and 1 jf-17 block II?!!

Tobiloba2407:


The 702 is photoshopped, that's why it bigger, than the other planes and blurry

lebuhsi:


My guess was that it was a poorly taken photo though!

But what do you think about NAF's increasingly close relations with the PAF?
