Hi

what is the German aircraft name.

Hi mm2000,
as far as I know the Luftwaffe used Bf-110s (Me-110) and He-111s for combat missions and Ju-52s and Ju-90s for transport duties.

Does someone of you have pictures of Iraqi Tu-22s or German aircraft that were used to support the 1941 anti-British insurrection?

Idriss Deby’s troops captured N’Djamena on December 2 perhaps there are two dates for this event?

Great pictures!
Thanks very much! Do you know if these choppers are piloted by Equatorial Guineans or mercenaries? Were they already used in combat?

Just because a country doesn’t have a threat from another country, doesn’t mean its AF is useless. Its planes could still be invaluable in the ground attack role against terrorists. You can never know where terrorists will pop up.

That’s true! Just compare the cases in which aipower was used in a war country-against-country to the cases airpower was used against insurgents or rebels since 2000. Not counted are the various anti drug and UN missions.

country against country:
Iraq USA
Ethiopia Eritrea
(Afghanistan USA)

airpower used against insurrections or rebels:
Angola
DRC
Republic Congo
Chad
Sudan
Nigeria
Rwanda
Uganda
Mauritania
Burundi
Central African Republic
Ivory Coast
Sierra Leone
Guinea
Senegal
Colombia
Venezuela
Yemen
Iraq
Iran & Uzbekistan (AFAIK they bombed a few Taliban positions)
Afghanistan
Pakistan
Nepal
Myanmar
Indonesia
Phillipines
Sri Lanka
Turkey (?) not sure about this one
Chechnya
Namibia (in Congo)
Zimbabwe (in Congo)

At least Mr. Flahaut is interested in the Congo. Our defence secretary Mr. Jung once stated that Gabun is a neighbouring country of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Actually nobody really noticed his mistake, he was completely unaware of the fact that there are two Congos. BTW there’s not a single African roundel which is as ugly as this one. Hell, even Bokassa who proclaimed himself emperor and ate the flesh of babies didn’t introduce such a tacky roundel.

Yes, every village in Africa comes equipped with trenches :rolleyes:

If you were under constant bombardement you would dig up some holes or trenches to protect yourself, too. And yes of course all those 9-12 years old girls fleeing from their improvised school were blood-thirsty marxist rebels.
BTW why are you so aggressive do you have to hide something? :diablo:

You have no idea of what you’re saying. Your ignorance is as unfortunate as it is provocative.

You should read and get some knowledge before writing stupid sentences.
Shame on you!

Shame on me??? 😀
Actually I HAVE recorded footage of a civilian village in Mozambique being bombed by the Portugese air force. Fortunately all inhabitants were able to flee into self-made trenches and nobody was harmed. It was recorded by two German filmmakers who made a documentary about the Portugese occupation. Unfortunately it’s on VHS and I’m not capable of dgitalizing it.

Must be the same as their Mi-17s.. Looks very similar to me..

Suit by Versace plus white socks.. 😀

That happens if you try to introduce free market policies in Africa,
all those military uniforms and leopard caps at least had style :diablo:

Anyway, there’s nothing better than knowing someone who actually flew in the African Wars. Some of these guys have tons of great stories and curiosities about this aircraft. But in the end they all say the same: the G-91 was a great plane to win that war!

Actually the Portugese pilots did little more than flying indiscriminate bombing raids against the local civilian population (there IS footage to prove it!)
