ogb5: a little of these we were able to force Boko haram to start begging for peace. That's all that matter now.

We are not planning to invade the US so why spend so much money on modern day war machines when a lot of people are jobless and civil infrastructures are in shambles.

Fix the economy first, military hardware can come later

Denn: who on earth mocks his parents for having bald hair or wrinkles on their faces?

it is only in this our country that people dont value what they have...they prefer to associate with what others own.

Americans still value their fords, corvettes, buicks, GMC, etc despite the existence of better brands

the koreans prefer their samsungs and hyundais and dont denigrate developments in their habitats

we might not have the best hardware, we should however encourage these guys that actually ensure our country is still a bit safe...

Nigeria is our country.....its ours

Bushman. AK47 is still one of the most dependable assault rifles in the world today. Be displaying your ignorance. Just google

25Calibre:

You are the one displaying ignorance. There are loads more modern assault riffles out there with better range, accuracy, velocity.

Look at other special forces. Ak-47 is just a rebel gun today.

Saying that a 1950s gun is still fit for purpose in modern combat, is plain ignorant

amiskurie: .

25Calibre: GEJ should stop embarrassement and please send those antiquated weapons to the museum of antiquities.

Its shameful that a country as big as Nigeria has these WW2 relics as modern day military hardware, c'mon even a home made RPG would cause serious damage to these things

duni04: Most of the tanks were procured from second hand shops in downtown shanghai. How can u b even posing with scuba diving gear or parachute that some 16yr old's in some countries can use. Later they'll award 1 billion naira contract to buy 10 parachutes, height of stupidity

musiwa31: why are you showing me. there is weapon in the south too.

you make me laugh, the north can not fight and win a war with us.

iamdsam: I see niggas who don't know a thing about the military and that of Nigeria to be specific talking trash here. And back to the pictures of our military hardwares which aren't really military hardwares but military softwares. This is one main reason why they can't defeat the Boko Haram insurgents. You don't use low grade weapons like that to combact insurgents that are well armed with sophisticated weapons that are ever ready for a gorilla warfare in this 21 century. They're celebrating their future suicide mission. I rest my case

Capnd143: for the record nigerian airforce paratroopers/ special forces use tavor 21 [img]http://beegeagle.files./2013/03/116.jpg[/img]

chris365:

well, if you must know. only the NA special forces still use AK47 rifle. the NN special forces and air force rapid response team use Tevor rifle. DICON is currently working to have their own modernized version of the AK for NA.
please before you criticize, get proper info so you'll be taken seriously.

the guy is right about AK still being rated high. i saw a video on BBC of some US special forces in Afghanistan complaining of their M16 always jamming during rapid fire while the Taliban were still shoot rapidly at the with the AK.

Don't mind them. Nigerian military is still among the best, if not the best, in africa.

gbadexy: These equipment looks okay to ♍ƺ.
Its not as if we are in a volatile region with aggressive neighbors unlike egypt.
These equipments are hardly ever used and they are mostly for maintaining internal security.
I don't see cameroun as a threat and even if they want to go for external peace keaping then the UN should provide the necessary hardware and not at our expense.
I doubt if most people condemning these hardware know the details and specification of them. Even US still has ships and destroyers from the second world war era in their fleet in as much as it still serves its purpose.

jusRadical:


Why is AK47 the weapon of choice for your american mass murderers?

jusRadical:


Ha!ha!ha!ha!

Kid watches much of Ben 10. South Africa has atomic bombs. We are talking of banger knock-outs. Why is Nigerian military in the forefront of AU military missions. Why not your south africa. Infant!!!

25Calibre:

Did you even read and understand my comment properly? Where did I say other special forces use AK-47s?

I said look at other special forces, observe what they use and then compare it to Nigeria

Always look before you leap
