Bros we no like Aradu again. We don tire for Aradu, Aradu don tire for Aradu. We want new Ship.

New ships cost money which unfortunately Nigeria doesn't have a lot of at this stage!! Same as SA!

jteku:
Off topic,

Russia has used Syria as a testing ground for their latest weapon.

Please can someone name the weapon used.

O boy. Just look at the massive shockwave

Don't insult Nigeria by categorizing it with SA.

What the Nigerian navy has purchased you people in South-Africa are still dreaming about it.

Odunayaw:
Would NN finally forget their LPD dreams if this surpasses expectations?

Is LST not the same thing as LPD?

What have you purchased? because you have yet to purchase any frigates, or Subs or LPDs.....

the LST is nice ill admit but after that i don't dream about anything the Nigerian Navy has.

ok, leave it like that.

Then stop saying the most ret@rded sh1t!! and making this a Nig vs SA thing

@Kabe1

this is what i meant.....

"Ibas said the new equipment would help the navy fully secure the country’s territorial waters against piracy, armed robbery at sea, crude oil theft and illegal bunkering, poaching, smuggling, vandalism, kidnapping, proliferation of small arms, illegal waste dumping and oil pollution.

However, he said the navy was concerned about the ‘substantially progressive decrease’ in government budgetary allocations for its capital and overhead expenditures since 2012."

kabe1:

No it isn't

jln115:

In other words:

1Sub
1 frigate
1LST
1LPD
1 OPV long range
1 OPV short range

Hopefully they reconsider the LPD option and share the money over getting 1 more Frigate and LST.

One reason Aradu is where it is today is because it wasn't bought in pairs according to NN purchase policy in those days

jln115:

Still doesn't seem like a rational reason to fling $250m on a ship I reckon can only have 10-13yrs more. Forget the armament,it goes to waste after those years

Odunayaw:
No it isn't

What is the difference. Don't they do the same thing?

Damen - Landing Ship Transport 100

jln115:
Subs? Corvettes? LPDs? Bro sorry to burst your bubble but your not buying all that for 1.3 billion.... 3 subs alone will cost almost 1.3 billion.

u're misquoting me on this part..

You'd have to read up on it yourself to get extensive understanding.
But here goes(based on operations), LPDs have a well deck for which when they "dock" offshore, they allow water to flood this well deck so man and machines can be transported out by landing crafts in it. The LPD doesn't beach, its like a stable headquarters offshore

LSTs are smaller (in Tonnage) and carry men and equipment directly to beach

SuperSixSeven:
Damen - Landing Ship Transport 100

About a large company's worth of troops can be moved to relatively far away waters. Not bad

Toju200:

This is what you said isn't it?

Toju200:
currently Nigeria navy it's at it's third phase of it's strategic planning.They plan to buy more OPVs coverttes three conventional subs, Long range Helos, and Frigates the out matches the Aradu so it can be replaced,LPDs e.t.c

How am I misquoting you?

Thanks alot. This goes far enough.

not at all!!

Never mind I see odunayaw has replied

I miss the days when I'd not be able to read through one page here without seeing monikers like Frumentius, Patches, MikeCzar etc

A lot of noise then but good times nonetheless

I didn't say the 1.3billion would cover 3 subs

Toju200:

Ok. So why would you say 3 subs when infact Nigeria is only planning to by 1 sub?

Odunayaw:

true

Think I'm the only SAn left on this thread

it's according to their strategic acquisition plan.it comes in three phases and now they are in third phase...And it states in the third phase 3 conventional subs.They can't acquire it once..U should know that

Toju200:

Bro let's just agree to disagree and move on

Odunayaw:
Interesting, that's about $195k per vehicle. Not bad.

I don't know why I don't believe the 12kg stuff tho. What's the weight class of the Ezugwu

I dont think Nigeria ever paid more than $300,000 for a foreign made MRAP to be honest and many we got for free.
However at N70m Naira apiece, the Nigerian Army should simply standardize on this platform and just match with different turrets (local and foreign) for each type of mission.
We need to stop importing fully built MRAPs forthwith. We need the jobs, we need the money saved going to things like Army Aviation

better

Why not buy three armed UUVs for the LSTs next year and just one submarine in 2023/25

less than 25unit from the US are the many?

Either ways, I agree with your submission. Its easier to tweak as we wish. Jobs, jobs and jobs (Although I think the steel is still imported). And the best of them all, Watchful eyes can now be on our procurements.

Next step for DICON is to revamp Ammo production.

If our surface department (Navy) is not up to standard it'd be foolishness to start doing anything for the subsurface

I think the ammo production is Going on fully well they supplied the Army 5million rounds last year..

Interesting, but I'm not talking of 7.62 rounds, I'm talking of ammo up to the Howitzer rounds
