The armed Seeker 400 is designated "snyper".

Seeker 400 is different from the 2/200 in size, payload, range and more.

I don't know the company the Airforce collaborated with.

I was shocked by the misrepresentation of the facts by many respondents when this video surfaced online.

Faculty14:
the camo in the 2nd pic tho.never seen such before. Are the specially designed for army sf forces??

Cannonleo:
oga henry do most of the beryl come with pistol grips and enhanced upgrade and dont u think it is time Dicon goes to the drawing board and remakes the obj-006 into the al-IM(improvized) with polymer stubs ,pintle homemade battlesights instead of waiting for scopes an etched pistol grips and improvement in the breach system reducing recoil plus a colour change.I would really love Dicon to create an improved variety of the AK.improvised for our conditions rather than importing polish beryl rifles for an initial 6000 units.
no offense just a thought

Henry120:


They are all up-graded to the latest level. Polymer, picatinny and foregrip.


I've rebuilt the AK-47 many times in my head. i've even pasted in the past my ideal AK-47 up-grade.

The beryl and other AK knock-offs built by countries around the world all maintain the AK's bolt mechanism. It looks virtually the same in all Variants/knock-offs i've seen.

The beryl is just an up-graded another AK-47. To be honest, it isn't a difficult build. I've virtually lost hope in DICON producing an improved variant. Infact, I don't even support the military building anything in Nigeria as they cannot sustain it. I've always said, the Igirigi and other military prototypes should be handed over to Private Nigerian or J.V Nigerian/foreign firms.

The only way we can see a non-imported up-graded rifle ,is if Private Nigerian companies or companies based in Nigeria come up with a builds. I don't trust DICON.


DICON and Proforce signed a J.V on an APC build, have we seen their design....... NO!!!

Truth is, i'm of the opinion that the money spent in buying beryl rifles is a waste. We could have up-graded the OBJ-006 to beryl standard or any other up-graded variant.

MikeCZAR:
Private or Government controlled without multi-year contracts they can't sustain anything.

Multi-year contracts would help maintain active production lines, opening opportunities to market or export systems.

So it goes back to government support and on how it wants its national defence system to be structured.

I can't seem to I'D that plant behind the SF dudes but I have a hunch that this picture was taken at the port hacourt naval base...if I can ID that tree behind nd if I am positive that it is a neem plant.then this is ph naval base..neem isn't native to russia

Henry120:


The Nigerian Navy recently signed a Joint Venture agreement with a UAE based ship builder. The Agreement is to build capital ships at the Navy's dockyard in lagos.

In the same vein, the Navy has almost completed construction of Andoni II and a second tug boat in port-harcourt, while 6 other navy vessels are currently under-going refits in lagos.

The Navy's plan is designed to meet it's fleet recapitalization requirements, Oil industry requirements and exports. So, it's target specific. To achieve this plan, the navy already has it's commercial firm, Nigerian Navy dockyards limited setup. This is how it is done.

This is how to run programmes.


Money spent on ordering 6000 beryls could instead be spent on ordering 6000 beryls(Nigerian) a year for 5 years(providing jobs and saving foreign exchange), while the Private company lobbies state governments and foreign buyers.

Simple!!

This is not a d1ck measuring contest, but i'm very proud of our military right now. even though the international community and media refuse to acknowledge it (since good news coming out of Africa is not good for business), i will not be decieved.

The Nigerian military has set a record by rescuing 600 captives with just one casualty from a terrorist stronghold known for it's extremely difficult terrain. sambisa is almost free.
This in less than a week.

Abeg, 1 million gbosa to our boys in uniform.

horlams:

I'm also surprised at the low publicity this hostage rescue thing received....this effort seems to have received low acknowledgement because of the chibok girls issue

agaugust:


Affording rocket assisted Denel artillery is not the issue...Does anybody need it? Tanzania has 100 km range mobile rocket artillery. Denel 73 km range is far less. Tanzania afforded to pay for a 100 km range artillery.....but what target are you going to war to hit 100 km away ? Is distance always that far in real life war? A whole city battle space may be just 20 km wide from city east to west.

frumentius:


Be that as it may, Augustine seemed to dismiss the Denel T5-52 155mm artillery system and I'm interested as to his reasoning.

agaugust:


In war, it's hard to fire artillery on targets 73 km away in a far away city, except you want to kill innocent civilians and incur the wrath of United Nations.

Real life war is NOT a video game. How do you do fire correction, can you see 73 km inside your enemy's territory? How do you even tie down the enemy constantly to same spot 73 km away, is the opposing army a foolish sitting duck ?

That's why the whole world is not rushing to buy artillery systems beyond 30 km range.

A photo thread this is, I don't wanna talk much bros.

Anti-South African biase and a poor understanding of the symmetry of modern warfare.

If someone cannot comprehend the importance of long range artillery, from tactical significance to logistical implications it is not worth debating with them.
