The Nigerian Army has taken delivery of a shipment of military vehicles from the China North Industries Corporation (NORINCO).

According to local sources, NORINCO delivered the first of 17 military vehicles compromising of VT4 main battle tanks, SH5 105mm wheeled self-propelled howitzers and ST1 tank destroys.

Taking delivery of the armaments Wednesday, Army’s Chief of Policy and Plans (CPPLANS) Lieutenant General Lamidi Adeosun said Nigerians should expect more robust operations to put behind the menace of insecurity including Boko Haram, banditry and others, according to thisdaylive.com.

He said the weapons were acquired through the Ministry of Defence, adding that adequate preparations were made for maintenance and availability of spare parts.

Adeosun said: “The process of acquiring this has been on for some time but thank God they are coming in now.

“From this, you can see how serious the Federal Government of Nigeria is in making sure that the Nigerian Army is not only equipped, but contains problem of insecurity we are having across the country.

“This is being tackled with trained personnel and required equipment. What you are seeing here is just a tip of the iceberg. Others are still coming but it is very important that we all see that both the military and the government are really very serious to tackle the security problems across the nation.”

Asked where the armaments were acquired from, Adeosun said they were brand new weapons from China, adding “they are in different categories- heavy tanks, light tanks and we also have two types of artillery weapons, all from China. They have the latest technology in tanks and armament.

“The first set of 15 40-foot containers that were offloaded before today were made up of spareparts and accessories of all these equipment.

“So, those ones are already out of the port and on their way to their destinations. Just as we are here, most of these ones will move to their respective destinations as well.

“Those who will operate them have been trained in China. If not for the lockdown occasioned by the COVID-19, we expected some of their trainers to join us here to train more people.

“From the army, expect more robust operation to put behind us the menace of insecurity, that of Boko Haram, bandits among others.”

Nice one

I am loving the self propelled 105mm artillery piece I see in the last picture , that equipment looks like it can bring the edge to the battle field if you know how to drop advance fire using accurate coordinates from reliable spotters and then allow the MBT closely followed by infantry to occupy the space and then bring the 105s forward again to the newly secured territory and repeat again .

All Na wash wash.

Boko Haram will collect it from them soon

China made, if you know you know

Nwachitext:
Boko Haram will collect it from them soon

If they know what they are doing with those equipment I see there Boko Haram should be a thing of the past ..Add me 5 attack helicopter to this mix and I secure the entire Borno is 6 weeks pushing Boko Haram into Chad

Wear nose masks but no social distancing with them chinko

How much is it?

I hope they won't just and park it somewhere in the North East and be waiting for Boko Haram to attack them so they can repel.

When will our Army be completely out for offensive.

You do have a bit of sense when not hating blindly.

@TOPIC.

Good development but will these addition to our armory be fully deployed against Boko Haram considering many at the top of our political and military hierarchy favour a rehabilitatiin approach rather than all out attempt to wipe out these terrorists?

Now we are talking. Very cool.

I think we should also try and acquire some Multiple Launch Rocket Systems for the NA.

Ordinary Landmine touch this one......they will start speaking in tongues.......
China gradually taking possession of Nigeria Economy

JAOS:

JAOS:

Another ozu nwuru anwu on the lose. Is IPOB armed? Ordinary Boko Haram is disgracing you guys yet you want to add to your troubles.


I will advise these guys to kindly hand over these tanks to the Chadian army otherwise it won't be long before we start seeing it in the hands of Boko Haram.

These people will never learn.
Why will they buy a 5G battle tank from China?

Over to you Pastor Chris.

You need combat helicopters they don't listen eh.

Fighting people you can't see. Deploying this things without a drone is going to be another waste of money.
