jln115:
saw the pic and it's definitely a Greek flag.... Actually then again it could also be the Nigerian navy flag...

Edit: the sailors s look pretty black as well

FieldMarshall06:


Dont worry about it bro. I have posted a video link which shows 2 Combattants missile ships of the NN. So, his answer is there.

chkil1:


you can see the greek flag rear

chkil1:


any clear pic of a nigerian ayam class with exocet or ottomat missiles ?

from what i found on the net from french sources , the nigerian ayam class siri, ekun , hadn't the exocet missiles , no SSM missiles . only aspide air defense missiles . all combatant IIIb pics posted as nigerian ones with SSM missiles are greek ships ( easy to identify from the Pennant number or the flag )

UltimateDreamer:


No, this is a program wide issue for the F35A. Its due to the leakage of inert gases that greatly increase the possibility of spontaneous combustion if the airplane flies in or around complex weather systems like thunderstorms. Meaning the airplane can explode if its hit with lightning. Word. Lockheed Martin has advised operators of the plane to fly at least 25 miles away from thunderstorms.... I find myself shaking my head vigorously while I type this because it seems so unbelievable, but I reiterate, this is all fact. This has been a reoccurring for the f35a issue since 2010

UltimateDreamer:


ikr, abi oh, its just that for the price of the F35 (90 - 120 million dollars), to find out that it cannot fly when there's a thunderstorm just sounds absolutely unbelievable. That's like buying a huge generator only to find out it cant work when the sun shines too bright..
Again, one simply cannot make this up. The so called Russians are looking at them with side eye, so much for a so called 5th gen jet. In the opinion of almost every professional fighter jet aficionado, this f35 is a boondoggle.
Yes the JF17 will have issues but inability to fly when it rains heavy is definitely not one of them.
I get your point tho; for sure with the local capacity been built, repairs and overhaul of the jf17 should be a walk in the park.

That's why I love this thread.. intellect folks full here ahswear..
The ignorance and comments on fp today was an eyesore.. people talking and bullshitting their own on what they dont know just because of their political and selfish differences..

Just imagine when an outsider gets to read that thread in fp and the comments..tell me why some useless dundehead wont rate us 3rd globally terrorised country in the world..

Most Nigerians are fools and ignorant bastards that maybe poverty and hardship has cause them a post stress traumatic disorder in such a sense that they only see and talk bad about the country irrespective of whatever the case might be..

Such a shame if you ask me..

WONDERFUL NEWS
Brand New Simulator

Faithful007:
I told some people here that a US Nigeria joint base is imminent and yet they can't read the signs?

bidexiii:


Thanks for always giving us updates on NAF procurement

Xbee007:

Where are the people claiming the deal has been cancelled?

SuperSixSeven:




Peru AF is replacing the EMB 312 Tucano aquired 1986 with the KT-1. We are going to get the EMB 314 Super Tucano, they will rise and shine. Coming to cost, please consider that we get a full package including guides bombs, training, spares and ground installation and not just a air-frame in flyaway condition.

Note: OV10 fleet is out of production for decades now, dead and scraped in most part of the world. There would be no spare parts available, how would you maintain it?

persius555:


This is captain Blade's(Rtd) position on a discussion programme, presently airing on @classic FM Lagos. He is insistent that the present approach isn't result oriented.

Tune in if you can

Toju200:
seems like it's true but not the one from US Beeagle military blog confirmed it's the three pre-owned once from Brazil
I can recall that deal went through but never saw the planes...

SerikinGamo:
Can anyone confirm??

Tobiloba2407:



It's not about toju, its the way the person that claimed Nigeria has Hj 12 , started shouting it's for Nigeria, even when the article merely said an African country and to a lesser extent, the way people started believed him, even when the news article didnt mention Nigeria. Sounds like pastors , gullible congregations claim it mindset to me.

The same mindset comes to play again with aradu.... that aradu is undergoing sea trials, aradu was clearly towed by tug boats,no proof to show she's under her own power, because the pastor says it's TRUE, the flock too started commenting aradu out of dock for sea trials, weapons removed even when missile magazine and weapons are visible , and to them it's the biblical truth......this our pastor and followers mentality, with the lack of ability to verify information won't kill us

Henry240:


.....But the video, the recent video the source is referring to only talks about F-7NI and Alpha jets.


Is there a more reputable source which confirms these aircrafts delivery?

Henry240:


Egypt flies F-7s, if we actually want to train pilots on an advanced platform, only 4 pilots seems like a waste of money. I believe the 4 pilots going to Egypt are F-7 pilots.

Henry240:



My source was right after all. Additional surveillance assets are more than welcome. Although, my initial sentiment was we were going to go for the CH-4s instead.


Long endurance flights by the UAVs, target identification followed by bombings by JF-17s make sense to me.

Henry240:
FLASH


According to unconfirmed reports, the Nigeran Air Force would soon take delivery of Yahbon Flash-20 UAV. The source claims a deal has already been negotiated.



Let's keep and eye on this space.

''nns unity will be with us shortly''very convincing....... BUT

onumaegbuikenna:
Gentlemen any news of the NNA Andoni II.

Xbee007:
Watch the video on Channels Tv carefully, after they showed the green Diamond Trainer Aircraft, which one of NAF spokeman said 'will soon be put out of service', they showed a small white Aircraft flying and later taxying on the runway.

Henry240:


That's not a Super Mushak, that's a Diamond Trainer Aircraft. The Air Force has been deploying the Diamond as a primary trainer for pilots for the past 12 months, seeing the Air Beetles would soon be withdrawn from service.
