@agaugust, abeg is your last pics too made in bauchi?

Yes, Nigerian produced the 4K 4FA tracked armoured vehicle. Very good armour with frontal protection against 20mm cannon shells.

We produced about 250 units in Bauchi city, including the APC variant, 81mm mortar carrier variant, and command post variant, armoured recovery vehicle, and ambulance.

Usually armed with one 12.7mm heavy machine gun and one 7.62mm light machine gun combined.

It's a very capable loose sand and thick mud terrain mobile vehicle.....South African army has NOTHING in it's class.

"SPECIAL VEHICLE PLANT (SVP) PROJECT

On 22nd January 1979 the Federal Government signed an agreement with Steyr Daimler Puch AG (Defence Division) of Austria. The agreement provides for the construction of Factory Building in Bauchi complete with all utilities, roads, rails and furniture for the production of Armoured Personnel carriers (APC).

The Factory was designed to assemble in 8 hours days shift the following, 300 units/yr 2 axles (4x4) Pinzgauer, 1 ton payload, 200 units/yrs 3 axles (6x) Pinzgauer; 1.5 ton payload, 140 units/yr Armoured Personnel Carriers; 45 unit/yr Command vehicles (APC); 10 units/yr Motor Carriers (ACP) and 5 units/yr Ambulances (APC). Factory buildings, Utilities, Roads, workshop equipment have all been completed and commissioned since 1982.

The SVP buildings are currently being utilized by the Nigerian Army for the maintenance and rehabilitation of Armoured fighting vehicles and Armoured Personnel Carriers under a contractual arrangement. Hopefully when the contract is completed the Factory would be handed back to DICON."

Because the likes of Boko Haram would never have the guts to take on SANDF in our own country. They did that with you because they know you're a useless bunch. How embarrassing is it that they had heavy equipment, painted in their colours, on your own soil. Within 15 minutes of a terrorist group driving around in armoured vehicles and using artillery, our airforce will blow them to bits. They know that, hence i can go to a market here in SA without wondering if a car will blow up. Boko Haram took on the Nigerian military on your home soil because they know you're useless. It took you years to assemble any sort of a well organised counter.

This is a proper Air Force, not the useless South-African Air Force with their 9 Gripen pilots.




[b]The Nigerian Air Force has conducted 286 air operations on
Boko Haram targets in the last one month, it said on
Saturday.


Addressing a press conference in Maiduguri, the Deputy
Theatre Commander (Air) of the counter-insurgency
operation in the North-East (Operation Lafiya Dole), Air Vice
Marshall Isiaka Amao said the air component of the counter-
insurgency operation has conducted 286 “operational
sorties” against Boko Haram terrorists targets from
December 25, 2015 till date.


He explained that this translates to 157,000 Square
Kilometres of operational coverage, equivalent “to the total
land mass of South Korea, Portugal and Togo.”
He said this also translates to “a total of 536 hours 21
minutes were flown by various platforms engaged in the
operations, expending 316,637.5 litres of aviation fuel which
amounts to N60,376,912, excluding the cost of maintenance
and armament expended.”


He said the operations which was aimed at further
degrading the terrorist group, also was targeted towards
surveillance at locating the abducted Chibok girls and other
citizens that may have been abducted by the terrorist group.
Amao said successes were recorded as during the
operations there was destruction of newly discovered Boko
Haram leadership hideouts, enclaves, logistics support
bases and infrastructure.


He insisted that this led to the terrorist group fleeing
Sambisa Forest to near locations due to aerial
bombardment and has denied them the opportunity to
regroup.


He said that during one of the air strikes on Christmas Day
in Sambisa Forest, the leadership meeting of the insurgency
group was disrupted and over 15 persons were killed.
He disclosed that apart from Sambisa Forest, air strikes have
been conducted on other hideouts including Gawa, Walasa,
Kote, Alagarno, Talala, Alafa North, Yele, Arra, Dure, Ajigin,
Takwalla and Kumshe.


He said close battlefield air interdiction and close air
support were provided for Nigerian troops at Gadzama and
Ngwalimiri[/b]

What maritime security deal? Fact is, we are currently on our way to take part in exercises with them, as we do every year, you do not.

degrading the terrorist group, also was targeted towards
surveillance at locating the abducted Chibok girls and other
citizens that may have been abducted by the terrorist group.
Amao said successes were recorded as during the
operations there was destruction of newly discovered Boko
Haram leadership hideouts, enclaves, logistics support
bases and infrastructure.


He insisted that this led to the terrorist group fleeing
Sambisa Forest to near locations due to aerial
bombardment and has denied them the opportunity to
regroup.


He said that during one of the air strikes on Christmas Day
in Sambisa Forest, the leadership meeting of the insurgency
group was disrupted and over 15 persons were killed.
He disclosed that apart from Sambisa Forest, air strikes have
been conducted on other hideouts including Gawa, Walasa,
Kote, Alagarno, Talala, Alafa North, Yele, Arra, Dure, Ajigin,
Takwalla and Kumshe.


He said close battlefield air interdiction and close air
support were provided for Nigerian troops at Gadzama and
Ngwalimiri[/b]

Are Nigerian numerically illiterate?

286/30 = 9 sorties per day
9 divided by 7 operational assets = 1.3 sorties per day per asset

So well done, your 7 operational assets did just under two sorties per day in a month.

FYI, our "9" Gripen pilots would have flown a total number of 351 sorties in the same period of time with the same number of missions per day.

Because the likes of Boko Haram would never have the guts to take on SANDF in our own country. They did that with you because they know you're a useless bunch. How embarrassing is it that they had heavy equipment, painted in their colours, on your own soil. Within 15 minutes of a terrorist group driving around in armoured vehicles and using artillery, our airforce will blow them to bits. They know that, hence i can go to a market here in SA without wondering if a car will blow up. Boko Haram took on the Nigerian military on your home soil because they know you're useless. It took you years to assemble any sort of a well organised counter.


i bet if it wer SA, d whole country wil b in ruins by nw.
and nw we r countering dem!

Calculations are accurate clearly showing that you had only about 7 operational aircraft.

Read your own citation.

It does not say what you claim

The only refrence to armored vehicles is their refurbishment


DICON official website clearly says it has production plant for producing the tracked 4KAFA Styer APC with capacity to produce 300 vehicles per year. DICON and Styer Nigeria Limited produced 250 of mixed variants in Bauchi for Nigerian army including heavy machine gun, mortar carrier, command post, and ambulance types.

Many sources confirm it, and even researchers have written books on the productions, nobody in his right mind disputes it except a liar of a man CHOKED WITH ENVY, its all common knowledge since the 1980s when production of the famous high performance tracked vehicle started and was first in Africa.

"Systems currently under production include armoured personnel carriers (Steyr) at the Steyr plant in Bauchi."


https://books.google.ca/books?id=yTaz5HaKpKkC&pg=PA231&lpg=PA231&dq=Bauchi+produced+Steyr+APC&source=bl&ots=SmkkdrYdRc&sig=3r85MlzozkZ81PDNt2JbKFCqGsA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjbkounltPKAhWD_R4KHdGIBR0Q6AEIHzAB#v=onepage&q=Bauchi%20produced%20Steyr%20APC&f=false

Nigerian local defence industry produces tracked armoured vehicles in FOUR VARIANTS, heavy machine gun, mortar carrier, command post, and ambulance. South Africa does NOT and CANNOT produce tracked armoured vehicles.
