IbnSultaan: The 25 which were overhauled completely can be referred to as new I presume. The seem to be getting really good business. 6 APC's sold to the Rivers state Police. 10 sold to the Federal Capital Territory Police 57 vehicles overhauled and completed for CBN. 100+ vehicles to the Lagos State Police. Presidential armoring. In all, it's good, very good. |

Nok234: Actually our defence procurement is still as diversifed as ever. The only change we have made is move lethal weapon procurements from our traditional Western partners to East. Let's look at our recent procurements. 4 x Recon planes - USA 5 x UCAV - China Light weapons - Poland, Ukraine, Singapore and China Artillery - Ukraine 120 x MRAP - China 46 x MRAP - South-Africa 3 x MI-24v - Ukraine MI-17 terminator - Russia 12 x MI-35m - Russia 4 x Alpha jets - USA JF-17 - Pakistan /China Bombs - Pakistan UAV - UAE 50 x T-72 - Ukraine and Czech Republic IFV - Ukraine and Czech Republic 2 x OPV - USA 2 x OPV - China IPV - Nigeria, Netherlands Trainer aircrafts - Pakistan Transport planes - Spain ATR-42 - Italy Small arms - Israel So, as you can see we are not depending on a single source. |

tdayof: This is significant. There will be training and joint design and development projects. I however think we should start early on an aircraft propulsion development project. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by tdayof(m): 5:44am On Jan 12, 2017 |
Adminisher: To me, I think NAF handling this project her self won't be too effective. Those are just NAF R& d team. I think we need a state funded aircraft industry with NAF as a share holder. For us to see a huge result, we need a dedicated aviation industry. |

tdayof: No matter how you look at it, this is a very very significant project. I see were you're coming from, but the fact is at this level, NAF can handle it alone. The state would come in when we are about to move things to the next level. We would see huge results even at this stage. We are talking Light Utility Aircrafts which NAF can deploy for transport and Recon role. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 9:34am On Jan 12, 2017 |
tdayof: Another thing to note is, we can also jointly sell this aircraft across Africa. Bring in FX and continue development. We already have vast experience in modifying aircrafts and weaponising them. Some of our private companies are beginning to secure good business across the continent, so the future of this sector is bright. |

tdayof: The interesting thing about this is if it is successful, Nigerian Air Force would be only the second airwing in the world to have privately built an aircraft on its own. The other is Pakistan. |

Interesting.... Nigeria needs to muster at least 2 battalions. 1 battalion of 800 men is insufficient. Even if the senegalese or ghanaians join up. Gambian armed forces is probably at about 2000 men ECOWAS have to use overwhelming force or the threat of overwhelming force... tdayof: |
