A great Job. Thanks. Your extra mile effort have now put paid to amateur wannabe analysts who know next to nothing but want tell us they know better than experts in the field and experts in arms engineering. Just looking at the rubbish contention they were putting up about the ARA MRAP ground clearance made it condescending to respond. As u know there was no point responding to pain and envy in the first place.

What makes a MRAP 100% battle ready and perfect?

List them and tell me if Proforce won't meet those standards. After meeting those standards, tell me how they are not one of the best.


You're just one ignorant man who just can't hide the fact that you hate reading good news from Nigeria. In a tech market, being new in the game doesn't mean you can't produce one of the world best. I hope you know that?

Chill ama school you. What's the difference between a university student reciting a multiplication table and a secondary school student? They're both perfect at it. Time means nothing.

In hi-tech, we've seen alot of new game changers.

You and your wacky opinions tho'.

Indeed + the army experience against terrorist pretty sure we are going to build one of the best MRAP worldwide ! ARA is just good

No. You are not. You know you are not. Everyone knows you are not. Just accept small victories and build from there, instead of making fairytale claims. You are not suddenly going to leapfrog others stretching from Russia, Turkey to the U.S (and everyone in between) on your 1st attempt.

Rather say Proforce will deliver a MRAP that meets the requirements of the Nigerian Army and leave it at that.

Europe laughed at China years ago, but today China is king. Those Nigerian army engineers, Proforce engineers you ridicule have used, repaired, dismantled, reassembled, studied for five years, five different MRAPS from RSA, USA, and mastered every tech in them. Nigerian made ARA will shock the MRAP world beating the best. Nigeria will build ARA cheaper than rivals, sell cheaper, take over the whole African market. Envy and jealousy kills slowly like HIV AIDS.

Stop the pettiness! I expect better from u. Proforce ain't stupid, it's a professional organisation that do bids based on clients specifications. What is evident is that the ARA MRAP meets CT/COIN dynamics and can be upgraded depending on combat exigencies. What everyone knows is that the Nigerian Army is a battles tested Army to learn from. That's what Generals do not whine in contempt.

[s]Oh gosh...here we go again. Am I not the one who told AK to stop his nonsense about ground clearance because he was talking cr.ap? Has absolutely nothing to do with Nigeria. My dear if I was jealous of any particular African country when it comes to defence products, it would be Sudan, not you.

Your friend said that this MRAP will be one of the best in the world. Why argue for the sake of arguing when you know this won't be the case? Unfortunately in engineering, you simply can't escape something called experience. That's really all that matters.

Since they replied to Henry, why don't you ask Proforce if they did a full scale blast test. Also ask Proforce what CFD and FEA package they used when performing such test, I would really love to know. Also from their products you can see that they are not yet confident enough to work with curved plates.

I never said its a piece of cra.p, so relax with your emotions. Let me ask you a simple question...before this Nigerian MRAP came along did you consider all other MRAP's to be the same? All were equally good? You never thought one was better than another, since all "standards" were met? Almost everyone here has stated in the past their pro's and con's of a particular vehicle, now you want this one to jump to the front of the queue because its yours? Chill

You are free to share with us what new game changers this MRAP brings. [/s]

Where's the envy? South Africa had an indeginoius MRAP in 1974, we literally wrote the book on these vehicles. We still the only country in the world where every wheeled military vehicle was an MRAP, from horse transport vehicles, ambulance, water tank and everything in between.

We have produced and exported 1000s of these vehicles, we have over 20 models on the market.... If you wish to celebrate about 1 model then go ahead it's your own archivement, we threw that party in 1974.

ssaengine:


If you want to be combative you are more than free to do so. You want me to address something that you yourself cannot address. The sooner you realise I have nothing against Nigeria the better. You think you're having an argument, when you're not .

Have you yourself not had a preferred list of MRAP's, IFV, ICV'? What makes your number 10 on the list worst than your number 3? Especially if the company producing number 10 has also met all required "standards". To say that ARA will be one of the best MRAP's in the world is false, and you know that. Such will take time, years of user feedback, operational use, years of design modifications. You know that, act dum.b if you want to, up to you.

No one is saying ARA is cra.p, just get that part into your head.

Indeed + the army experience against terrorist pretty sure we are going to build one [b]of the best [/b]MRAP worldwide ! ARA is just good

Portugal once rule the modern world in almost everything, where are they today? Other nations simply catch up with you and leave you behind if they are more determined, its not new. Portugal threw party like RSA many years ago, are they still celebrating global leadership in Portugal today? New champions arising in the MRAP world, believe it or not Saudi, UAE, Nigeria. The former hidden secrets of MRAP technology has leaked like rain water all over the world including Africa. Live with this new reality bro! MRAP is not space rocket science.

"KUBINKA, August 24. /TASS/. South Africa is considering buying 12 transport and landing and assault boats from Russia’s Kalashnikov Group while Argentina and the Philippines want to buy 10 such vessels, Kalashnikov spokeswoman Sofia Ivanova told TASS on Thursday.

"The Armed Forces of South Africa are considering the purchase of 12 boats of both modifications while the Philippines and Argentina want to buy 10 such vessels," the spokeswoman said at the Army-2017 military and technical forum outside Moscow where the Kalashnikov Group is featuring its BK-16 and BK-10 cutters.

Kalashnikov Group CEO Alexei Krivoruchko earlier told
TASS that the company expected to sign several contracts this year for the delivery of boats to foreign customers.

The Kalashnikov Group produces the BK-18 multipurpose cutter, the BK-16 transport and landing boat, as well as the BK-10 high-speed assault boat and the BK-9 high-speed amphibious assault cutter.

Let me explain to you. Your opinion was Ara can never be part of the world best MRAP because it's a new product.

My answer was simple and then you're here with your epistle.

The poster said


And you're here saying its not possible because it's our first attempt and I made it clear to you that being new in the game doesn't mean we can't produce one of the best and you're here telling me about top 10.

The poster said "one of the best" and "not the best or best 10"


You're just looking for a way to justify your pettiness. No one gives a damn if you've been manufacturing MRAP since 1920. We offer same protection as you and we can offer a product with a better specification.
