5. Drones: MQ-9 Reaper ($16.9Million).


The General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper (formerly named Predator B) is an unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) capable of remote controlled or autonomous flight operations, developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems(GA-ASI) primarily for theUnited States Air Force(USAF). The MQ-9 and other UAVs are referred to as Remotely Piloted Vehicles/Aircraft (RPV/RPA) by the USAF to indicate their human ground controllers. The MQ-9 is the first hunter-killerUAV designed for long-endurance, high-altitude surveillance.

The MQ-9 is a larger, heavier, and more capable aircraft than the earlier General Atomics MQ-1 Predator; it can be controlled by the same ground systems used to control MQ-1s. The Reaper has a 950-shaft-horsepower(712 kW)turboprop engine, far more powerful than the Predator's 115 hp (86 kW) piston engine. The power increase allows the Reaper to carry 15 times more ordnance payload and cruise at almost three times the speed of the MQ-1. The aircraft is monitored and controlled by aircrew in the Ground Control Station (GCS), including weapons employment.

6. M4 Carbine ($700).


The M4 carbineis a shorter and lighter variant of the M16A2 assault rifle. The M4 is a 5.56×45mm NATO, air-cooled, direct impingement gas-operated, magazine-fed carbine. It has a 14.5 in (370 mm) barrel and a telescoping stock. The M4 carbine is heavily used by the United States Armed Forces and is replacing the M16 rifle in most United States Army and United States Marine Corps combat units as the primary infantry weapon. The M4 is also capable of mounting the M203 grenade launcher. The distinctive step in their barrel is for mounting the M203 with the standard hardware. The M4 is capable of firing in semi-automatic and three-round burst(like the M16A2 and M16A4), while the M4A1 is capable of firing in semi-auto and full automatic(like the M16A1 and M16A3).

* Weight: 6.36 lb(2.88 kg) empty7.5 lb (3.4 kg) with 30 rounds.

* Length: 33 in (840 mm) (stock extended)29.75 in (756 mm) (stock retracted).

* Barrel length: 14.5 in (370 mm).

7. Kazan Mi-35M $36 million

The Kazan Mi-35M is a Russian upgraded combat transport helicopter who has two VK-2500 turboshaft engines. The purpose for it is a strict military warfare, like the assault on ground armored vehicles and air support for ground troops, including also real-time target locations missions in all weather conditions, day or night.
The helicopter has night vision systems, subdue cockpit instrument lighting, high tech satellite navigation systems, jam-proof communications equipment and electronic multifunction displays with onboard computer.
So imagine that with this baby in combat you can take off and land on unequipped sites due to the non-retractable landing gear, you can visualize everything and you have all the necessary equipment to engage in a strike attack due to day and night target reconnaissance, location and designation.
The armament is also various with missiles, rockets, a 450-round munition cannon and other modern warfare equipment.

8. Boeing AH-64 Apache – $52 million

This is one fighting machine who made it to the big screen several times being featured in many action movies or military modern warfare movies.
For a starting price of 53 million dollars we can actually meet one of the best attack military helicopters who was ever made.
The mixture between all kinds of munitions and guns makes your enemies fear you because this type can have under the wings a pretty impressive combat format.

The mid-size helicopter has an aggressive design with the chain gun, missiles and torpedoes mounted under the nose and on the side.
With a cockpit only for two persons the helicopter delivers at a high ceiling altitude and a faster cruising speed than the average same class helicopters.
This war machine can be found under the colors of the U.S Army but also as an attack helicopter for other nations like Greece, Japan, Israel, Netherlands and Singapore.

With numerous combat missions like the conflicts in Panama, in the Persian Gulf, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan and more others conflicts where the attack mid-size helicopter scared its enemies with its efficiency.

No more than a striking machine with state of the art technology made for the modern warfare, the AH-64s was produced in 2000 units from 1997 until now, making it a famous attack aircraft who can be a game changer in the turnouts of the conflict.

Most of those weapons you listed are american weapons, and the US would never sell lethal weapons to banana republics like Nigeria.
I was expecting you to post more of russian and chinese weaponery which is more realistic in terms of availability to Nigeria.

12. K2 Black Panther(South Korea, $8.5Million).

One of the most advanced main battle tank, in the mid-1990s, the South Korean government decided to begin developing a domestically designed and produced tank. The result was the Hyundai-built K2 Black Panther which was operational by 2013/14. At first glance, the K2 looks like a Western tank with a large rectangular chassis and turret closely resembling the Leopard 2 and Leclerc. It uses a license-built version of the Leopard 2’s 120mm smoothbore gun as well as a 1500hp German diesel engine. The autoloader is very similar in design and performance to the Leclerc’s and can allow the tank to fire around 10 rounds a minute. The gunner and commander have the newest day/night and thermalsights and in combination with the tank’s battlefield management and command and control systems, makes the K2 one of the most efficient and capable hunter-killer tanks around. Protection is provided by a classified composite armor and additional explosive reactive armor modules. For protection against enemy anti-tank missiles and rockets, the K2 is equipped with an active and passive protection system. The passive system warns of incoming threats and can start jamming and firing off decoys. The active protection system, similar to the Merkava’s ‘Trophy’ system, will attempt to destroy any missiles which are about to hit the tank by using a small explosive charge. Unfortunately, you won’t find any of these features in Hyundai’s latest line of cars and SUVs.
