The dispatcher asked if he tried the emergency brakes, to which Cooper responded, “Madam, I’m not going to do that at 100mph, I’m sorry

of wot use is it.
I doubt if it can deter Israelis n d amerikans

Escort duties for younger aircrafts. Especially when they want to tres lol. They've been doing so with the SU-35.

You useless Buhari that till date has failed to rescue 76 lecturers in captivity of Boko Haram almost a year after...abeg go and sleep ...even this so called rescue is clearly a lie

That's the problem with Nigerians. Uninformed people and always criticizing.

I was watching one nollywood movie like that, I saw this ARs.....


abeg someone should help me ID the ARs in 1st 2nd and 3rd pictures....the Fourth is an m16 varient abi

2nd picture is common with the Chinese. QBZ or so.

GavelSlam:


And the pilot got permission from the control tower to land?

No one lands without tower permission.

It's a Nigerian thing. Taking risks and putting engers life at risk. Actually, pilots are trained to be able to handle such instance. The pilot should have requested for a diversion.

Airforce base can also be used for such instance if they were low on fuel.

Government messed up and pilot did not act in a professional manner. Ethics says find another airport to land.

Nigerians are very fast to criticize without knowing the cause.


Runway light wasn't working which is a bad thing.

PointZerom:


The civilians they abducted are they not humans?

May have been abducted. Information are still sketchy.

Negative!!Bokoharam terrorist did not abduct anyone from the school.

Operation was foiled by SF and NAF.

If you have a more valuable information than Edward, tell me your source.

Here's a clearer picture. Cc:nemesis4u

The company below is also the one developing the GCS as said. The Chinese military currently make use of their GCS for some of their UCAV.

@abiodunalasa, that my typical Nigerian comment is nothing o. Just trying to explain that I'm not trying to defend the country's defect as it must be acknowledged. I'm aware of the pride that comes with us Nigerian but if we want development, we need to acknowledge we're no where where our counterparts are.

Shey Oti clear baba?

abiodunalasa:


Wait bros what do you mean "typical Nigerian" ?

Ok bros I grab ya point.
But atleast we can have 500 guided shells and guided Air-to-Surface payloads for some specific occasions.

Look at that day that our Birds had to run away from that crash sight when BHT were advancing on us.

Do you think our Birds will stay make that "tactical withdrawal" if we have air-to-surface guided payloads at that particular instance?

Bro, if we had guided air to surface missiles / bombs BHT would have been Dealt with that day. Plus, they could have dropped dumb bombs too but that was danger close hence why I suggested that our guys should have moved back to create a distance between them and the BHT so that the MI-35m can strike from their position. The mi-35 fires guided atgm.


We having guided bombs will be more useful than guided artillery shells.

afoife:
Sex is originated by God and if so how can it be that it brings so much stress if not achieved or done? now the only way of relief if one is not married is said to be sinful so why did God initiate a stressful activity?

Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
James 1:14‭-‬15

So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.
Galatians 5:16


Here's it, you don't masturbate without being tempted. You don't masturbate without lusting at someone / something or having a lustful thinking. When you masturbate, you defile the body.


Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God.
2 Corinthians 7:1

"... Fire more shells to effect accuracy... "

Thats what they call spray and pray
Throwing 20 stones at a bird and hoping one hits it on the head.
typical third world bull shits.

Egbon stop defending our defect.

Typical Nigerian. No one here is defending the Nigerian defect. I'm simply giving out an opinion on how both unguided and guided artillery works which you've not been able to counter with a point or fact but instead slam the 3rd world Bullshit.

It's very simple. A guided artillery will not follow a moving target to where so ever it's going but exact coordinates will get hit due to the GPS / inertial /laser guidance systems being employed. An unguided arty will have a + or - .


Same as rockets. You've seen our MRLS, unguided MRLS hitting bokoharam positions effectively.


There are some guided shells for about $75,000 which we can get. We can easily add that to our inventory. No one is saying Nigeria shouldn't posses such requirements. Imagine spending $50M on 500 guided shells when we can do what we want effectively with unguided shells at cheaper price.

abiodunalasa:


What if its a mobile base... Like a ship ?
Or one of those 21st century Battle Mobile Strongholds BMS ?

Intel are being performed before launching an artillery.


If you have the position of a mobile air defence systems, do you think after lauching a cruise missile with sophisticated guidance systems, the missile will keep following the platform to wherever location it's going? Hell no. Guidance system is just for precision since you have nothing to "home" om. Or an aircraft to update coordinates into the missile / artillery.

In essence, a guided artillery will also miss a moving target except if coordinate is been updated regularly through an aircraft or whatever. Advantage of a guided artillery is precision. andrewza already mentioned it that you can fire more shells to effect accuracy from unguided arty.

abiodunalasa:


Egbon... this fighting style is so 16th century
What about in a CQB where lota variables are involved and not just feeding coordinates to a dumb gun ?
What if at the time of feeding coordinates to the big guns, then the target gets on its move ?

Compromising all these clinical for cost is what makes us a third world sh*thole



Senior man...
Yes, war is not soap opera, but neither is it a mad man's game.

Yes We need to fight according to our bank ... this not withstanding we cannot compromise on fighting good, fighting right and fighting clean.

Artillery are being used on enemy position / strong hold to dismantle them here giving ground troops an easy way to get in. Even guided artillery will miss a target which would be out of positions in few minutes.

lionel4power:


tdayof I have responded to your DM

Replied too.

Xbee007:

It was an Apache helicopter. You can read more A's attacks on innocent Iraqis here.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/apr/05/wikileaks-us-army-iraq-attack

There's no one to sanction them.

Henry240:

I'm sure they noticed the helo,but should we all run away upon sighting an MI-35 helo flying overhead our streets?

People going about their normal businesses getting wacked by a foreign AH in home soil.

Just noticed the guys were not armed.



Where's amnesty international? I bet if this was Nigeria, we will be getting immediate sanctions already before the deliver of the Tucanos.

Henry240:

Coordinates can easily be entered into in NA Bofors artillery systems.

Yes. Exactly why I said ISR can get the coordinates and then the artillery guys input it and then some dead BHT.

BlackBaron:
@ andrewza and nemesis4u.

fair enough regarding your points.

Here's an interesting pdf about the topic. Posed the question just in the event a very precise hit is needed to avoid collateral damage especially in urban environments. Take out a dug in building,cqb or an attacking force further away with a drone above providing overview.
Regarding costs, a guidance kit (The Orbital ATK Armament Systems M1156 PGK) fitted to 155 mm shells costs about $120,000.000 for 12000 units which is about $10,000 each?

I am talking of shells similar to The American Excalibur rounds. We do not have the type unless you want to furnish us with proof.

You know how many shells are being fired per day in the north east? Firing millions of dollars in the war against BHT won't be a good idea since we can easily get coordinates with ISR and fire unguided shells.

Henry240:

American brutality at it's finest.

That's an Apache AH-64 firing it's 30mm chin gun at everyday Iraqi civilians.

They never observed the helo? The gun has a limited range so my opinion, they should have noticed the helo coming in OR what do you think?

Can someone id the platform and weapon. Cc nemesis4u

dodelight:
in my own opinion, now that the state governments and even the fg are crying for state police, why don't they simply convert this peace corps to that? sincerely, we don't need a new security outfit at the federal level, the existing ones are already being abused

NSCDC should be put under state Governors command if the Nigerian government isn't willing to give out the Nigerian police force.

Peace corps isn't advisable. Enough of paramilitary already.

All I see is a young man proud of himself. Congratulations to you and I wish you success.

CHINA CAC Cloud Shadow UAV

Sapiosexuality:
Baby science. The technology behind the drone is too simple, too crass that trying to project it as something extraordinary smacks of high level retardation. There's nothing significant in constructing a drone. It's baby science. I'm saying this because of some mummified minds who'd consider it a giant stride and the tribalists who think it's an edge. This is baby science.

What did you just type? I have been with AVIC Chinese biggest aviation industry who is the manufacturer of various Chinese drone. As a an aeronautical engineering (aircraft manufacturing and design) engineer with various certifications. I can say with confidence that it's no doubt you know nothing about military grade drones. We're not talking about quadcopter here

cutievik:
Is this a joke?? A mere 3million naira? For the leader of Africa most deadly terrorist.... When just like yesterday a notorious criminal had a bounty of 200 million on his head... Well guys The war would be won but for now it seems we r far from over. It's politics-fied...

A state government is definitely richer than the Nigerian army. When you need a huge bounty on shekau then that's FG work.

GloryIsaac:
Any explanations, pls , confused here.

https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/1559366/jonathan-launches-first-nigerian-built-drone#20288925

Gulma is the technological demonstrator for TSAIGUMI.

However, it's still the same aircraft with better avionics and whatever. What happened yesterday was induction into the airforce.

That's why they call him the builder. Education was introduced to the community by planting a school in there. Not necessarily the same area where all the atrocities was performed.
