I looked at it a second time and said no! That wasn't enough. This is not just beautiful, T'is Pretty! I kiss!

1 vehicle gets this thread alive again.. Honestly I was getting tired of seeing the Gripen in all angles. We need more of these

Blue prints are out there my man and you don't do orders to the Libyan government based on non standard processes. I mean there is a war there for goodness sake.

A lot of people may not know this but the government is indigenizing the defence industry. Innoson fixed up the rocket system of Alpha jets and believe me the Ara is using an international process for design and ballistics testing.

I know it's fashionable and easy thinking to knock everything that comes out of Nigeria but the reality is more nuanced. Great things are happening and we need to have an open mind.

Hello sir there’s a story cooking here, you share resemblance with this fine gentleman can you please confirm weather or not you are in the picture below.

I've harped so many times on this: our ongoing military industrial complex under the present administration which they have actually taken as an item of national survival. But u get eaten by ur own.

You know I've had a hard time finding such brilliant minds on here, they are few as u'd soon find. But this! This is it. The narrative on Nigeria keep folks (including ours - Henry actually told me that about the low self esteem on here) thinking we don't or can't measure up. There's no one nation however industrialized without shortcomings. In the end is a race to measure up and excel. This we are doing and whose to stop us.

I can confirm I am not the handsome gentleman. He is much better looking than me. Any resemblance is slight in fact. He is an awesome Nigerian though, and the mistake is an honour.

First Domestic Procurements And Then Big Ticket Item Exports.

I can't believe our government allow the media publish such fake news, its very sad vanguard news need to be punish for this.

I saw what you did on the thread that hit FP earlier. I salute your patience to stomach and reply the level of ignorance displayed on that threat by fellow countrymen.

When I read the first page comments, couldn't stand the mess I saw, had to abort for my own welfare.

AK seems u were reading minds. Actually I was thinking the same thing but more of such like the PROFORCE ARA is coming in the Air and on the Seas that we might not be talking of the Gripen for quite some time

This Proforce vehicle brought people out of hibernation.. I just counted 17 likes on it. That's a record.

A Nigerian Defence company Proforce has just unveiled the first combat ready MRAP optimized for the African market. The new Ara ('Thunder') mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicle was unveiled by the company in a defence exhibition held in South Africa on 14-18 September 2016.

Nine Units has already been delivered to the Nigerian Army and would soon begin field trials with immediate deployment to the active IED-filled North Eastern theater where the military is currently battling the deadly Boko Haram terrorist sect.

Nigeria signed an order to receive nine units in 2016 at the South African AAD 2016 for preliminary testing and evaluation whereby any feedback would be reviewed and neccessary adjustmade made to the vehicle depending on the customers preference.

Proforce is currently the leading indigenous Armoured vehicle designer in Nigeria, the company specialized in armored vehicles and personnel protections, armoured personnel carriers, ballistic helmets for military, police and civilian protection. It was established in 2008.

According to the manufacturers Proforce, the unique capability of the Ara is the superior maneuverability over various terrains with its fully independent suspension system coupled with a powerful engine in a four wheel drive provides small turning circles in a tight area and better mobility.

The vehicle utilizes run-flat tire technology to keep the vehicle operational when the tire suffers puncture also the tires are integrated with a central inflation system to maintain the correct tire pressure even with up-to four bullet holes.

The Ara turret can mount a 12.7 mm Machine Gun or grenade launchers which can be manually controlled or remotely depending on the customers request.

Proforce operates a 40 000 square meter facility in Ogun State and a 25 000 square metre facility in River State. The company has also supplied the Rwandan government with APCs and done business with the United Nations.

ENGINE : 218 @ 2200rpm
GEARBOX : Allison 6 Speed Automatic
MAX SPEED : 96km/h
FUEL TANK CAPACITY : 200 L

Also since we are on the local content topic, does anyone have an update on the rifle assembly plant, funds were made available in the budget alongside a vehicle assembly plant.

Lmfao, can i also donate my entire village?

ARA MRAP Blast mitigation seats are also made in Nigeria.

The ARA makes the general look so punny.

It's a 19 ton monster of a truck!

the size of this beast would make even generals go (O_O)

at 19 tons that is like half the weight of a main battle tank.

kudos Proforce

jakeporeshenko:


If the army/ FG doesn’t support this vehicle with orders, it’s the oracle of Arochukwu that will visit them, not me.

In fact the Nigerian police should order some
Road safety corps
NSCDC
Navy
Peace corps
VIO.
Civilians, we all need an ARa in our lives.

Dont forget is the 1st prototype remaining 2 or 8
