solomon111: The algerians does not have enough s-600s neither do they have the capabilities or even the funds to successfully carry out and sustain offensives against Nigeria.
It would be a suicide mission,with a devastating counter-attack from Nigeria.
Ethiopians have a good war history,but that's all there's to it.
They also don't have enough SU-27,which is their only advantage, to carry out an offensive against Nigeria.
Any attempt on their path will lead to them be shot out of the sky by the indian Akash missile defence system or even the Roland.
Btw, Nigeria has the newly acquired indian akash missile defence system.
Peace-keeping is war!
Very few militaries can successfully carryout peace-keeping missions.
And lastly,the US military are renowned for their brutality and rape of many arab women.
That dosen't make them unproffessional.

ShyM-X:


Yeah, the same Nigerian army that were disgraced by camel riding supporter of APC militias in Sudan. The same Nigerian army that needed the help of both the UK and Indian special forces in Sierra Leone against a rag tag rebel after taking massive loses. The same Nigerian army that couldn't defeat MEND and can't defeat Boko Haram.

I guess Nigerian army is also the French army that ousted Gbagbo in Ivory Coast, no? You need to stop telling porkies.

ShyM-X:


They just need 10 strategic ones to destroy your capital city. God help you defending yourselves against those lethal missiles.

You don't know Algeria is richer than Nigeria, no?? Bwahahahaha. Algeria has more than enough money to go to war with Nigeria.

Indian Akash missile? - bwahahahahahahaha. as for the Roland air defense system, I doubt it can shoot down your obsolete Alpha Jets. Targeting SU-27 would look like Gaddafi's air defense system targeting the Eurofighter. Just hot air, shooting in the sky for no reason.


Anyway, I'm just saying it as it is. I don't hate Nigeria. I just think you want to claim the giant of Africa title, then you need to upgrade your military and your country. Your military is your voice and it determines how powerful you're.

solomon111: Nigeria defeated by supporter of APC?
Where,when, how?
The indian akash missile defence system is the best missile defence india has.
Don't underate it.
Nigeria has already paid for a lot of yet to be delivered military hardwares.
By 2014-2015 when many of these stuff will be delivered,Nigeria will completely surpass its nearest rivals leaving Egypt as its sole competitor.
Btw,Do you know that Nigeria has the best ship-building industry in Africa?
With the transfer of stealth tech from china next year,we should start developing our own stealth ships.

solomon111: Take this "God bless america" nonsense out of here.
And would you mind telling us which of those pictures above is not a drone.

naptu2: Salty Dog 502 (US navy drone). It can land/take off from aircraft carriers.

ShyM-X:


Don't act like you don't know the Janjanweed militias destroyed the Nigerian army base in Darfur and killed tons of Nigerian soldiers during the war in Darfur. Heck, even Gen. Martin Luther Agwai alluded to this during his interview with Christiane Amanpour on CNN and he blamed logistics for the attack.

India doesn't even trust its own akash air defense system. It uses the prithvi integrated with the Israeli spyder air defense system. I believe India also has the Russian pantsir s1 and buk Mi-2(not too sure about this).

Others are also buying up. Algeria's about to purchase $2 billion(or more) of new toys.

nairaman66: Misleading headlines.. Nigeria cannot afford the maintenance of a single drone, not to talk of purchasing one.

These Political Department of Plunderers (PDP) will not allow that to happen when they have not satisfied their selfish interest- Looting to be precise!!

naptu2: Amebor.

gidiMonsta: @Shymmex You sir are a disgrace! What the hell are you talking about?
Is it the South Africa whose special forces were routed by rag tag rebels in CAR? The same SA who was thoroughly embarrased in DRC and so have decided to watch with its tail between his legs while a country in its SADC burns? The same Ethiopia that nearly lost an entire region of its country to El-shabab? The same Algeria where Belmoktar and other AQIM members have reigned supreme?

Nigerian military hardware may not be all that, but we remain the ONLY African nation to have successfully ended wars in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast et al. Ever wondered why the only places in Africa where there are still flashpoints are places that have not tasted the military might of our Khaki boiz. Bravo!!! Thats laudable, proudly green...
. But there are still enormous domestic violence. No pun intended, if we could achieve all those aformentioned, isnt a joke that we are still overwhelmed by menace of terrorism within our horizon

armyofone:
Jisos holy son of immaculate Mary she you want me to be jumping up for acquiring ducky bird wey go soon catch fire before launching?
God bless America, the Drone Nation .

armyofone:
Mehnnnnn, what's that?

amanikondo: THis should be called TATA or Praying Mantis not Amebor.

Onlytruth:

One look at the face of this young Airforce engineer's face and I see hope.
He is as excited as he should be to be building stuff like this.
The future is bright!

Henry120: I wonder why military knowledgeable peeps like @chris356 and solomon111 keep replying this ignorant studs here on nairaland?

They would never learn. I mean, you can't fix "st*upid".

Goodluck solomon111. Your cross.

solomon111: I am sure US fighter planes fall from the sky despite the maintainence.

solomon111: I am sure you will know which plane will crash and which will not, given the fact that the amount of american drones and fighter-planes that has caught fire and dropped from the sky should be in billions of dollars.
God bless china,russia and Nigeria.

armyofone: why is he the only one hoping? take a closer look at all the mean and unsmiling faces around him, hope_less.
Tell me how far he will go with that hope on his face.
I will be excited playing with my toy drones from Walmart too

solomon111:
Well,shitt happens.
America has also suffered devastating defeats by talibans.....

Onlytruth: BTW hundreds of millions of dollars should be going into these types of R& yearly if Nigeria wants to catch up.

armyofone: It is alright man, someday it will be better.
until then, slow down with china made. I wouldn't eat dried cat fish from China.

ShyM-X:
^^^^I'm having a son next year. I need one of those naija UAVs as a toy for my little man.

I know you're trying to be patriotic and all but naija needs to shelve drones for now and upgrade the darn military. Those Israeli thieves are just ripping off the country.

solomon111: Nigeria has made tremendous progress in the past 10years.
The defence industry company of Nigeria(DICON) has started the local manufacture of Ak-47s,FN-FALs,RPMGs,APCs,bullet proof vests,rocket pods,components of attack helicopters and Fighter planes,warboats,assault boats e.t.c.
They've also partnered with the israeli defence company MAROM-DOLPHIN.
Private Nigerian defence companies like proforce and mekhoza who specilize in the manufacture of APCs and MRAPs are springing up.
Proforce will begin the local manufacture of UAVs next year.
