nothernstar: Nice one. But is not wise to also develop one in the south south were there is big see. Must it be clustered only in a region? Even though it's nice, but why not spread the development. There is deep sees in porthacourt and calabar yet the federal govt keep lopsiding appointment and development. Why won't there be agitation and anger. The politics of this country is against the south east and south south.
Cross River, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom also have deep ports under construction.
The T-90 is currently the only tank produced in quantity in Russia. It is not as sophisticated as it's Western rivals, however it uses proven technology and is cost effective. Currently it is the most commercially successful main battle tank on the global market. The T-90 has a small profile which makes it a harder target to hit. Significant drawback of the T-90 is that due to it's carrousel-type autoloader ammunition is stored in the main compartment, rather than a separate compartment with a blow-out panels.The T-90 is not as accurate against long-range targets, however it can launch anti-tank guided missiles in the same manner as ordinary munitions. Original version has poor power-to-weight ratio due to it's underpowered engine. The T-90MS Tagil is a recent version with new armor, new engine, new gun, improved turret, updated observation and aiming system. The T-90 is currently in service with Russia (approximately 700), Algeria (305), Azerbaijan (20), India (620), Turkmenistan (40) and Venezuela (50~100).
sisimmi: Government opened itself up for this sort of nonsense the very moment it thought of that idea called amnesty. Some of us are from that region but are completely opposed to the nonsense going on there. Can't warships and bombers be deployed for once?
FarahAideed: You useless Buhari that till date has failed to rescue 76 lecturers in captivity of Boko Haram almost a year after...abeg go and sleep ...even this so called rescue is clearly a lie
Stop lying to get cheap likes there were only 3 lecturers and their release was negotiated. I understand your pain, just like the PDP you were hoping to use this against Baba during the campaign. Sorry if you're too pained you can go and die
eTECTIVe: I am not understanding.. U applied for oil blocks IN anoda state so U can b an oil producing state?? So dat U can collect 13% derivatives?? Which kind brain northerners dey like rack like dis? How d hell does owning oil blocs make d state an oil producing state? A so called-Power state dat has nothing to show for anything, terrible state of roads and infrastructures and d pressing need for dem to find a way to join oil producing states?
Funny how you accuse the North of nonfunctional brains while you don't seem to have one as well. Read the post again and wrote here.
omenkaLives: Only folks who are totally ignorant of the situation on ground in Benue state would think this whale of a failure stands a chance in 2019.
The idiot long abandoned his duties to his people even before the herdsmen saga and is hoping attacking the FG or Buhari would buy him enough political leverage to scale what lies ahead.
Nairaland ignorant commentators especially have forgotten this was the same man they mocked nearly to death over the "wheelbarrow empowerment" saga and the "billboard commissioning" saga.
They've suddenly forgotten about his rift with Wike over his Total lack of leadership skills and how the stat has deteriorated under his watch be that infrastructure or security-wise.
He's become their hero because he now PRETENDS to loathe the same person they leathe - Buhari.
Ortom has been a failure from the very day he took his oath of office and would likely remain so. His fate has already been signed and sealed and no amount of social media whitewashing would save him.
Funny, you're not even sure of what you are saying. This project started a long time ago, the first prototype was Amebo, at a time it could not even fly and personally I mocked the Airforce for showing the public what couldn't fly as an invention. The research will later be advanced in partnership with a Portuguese firm and that birth Gulma. Personally I don't see anything wrong with tapping into other countries technological expertise if it will help us achieve our goals.
EgunMogaji: You guys keep stroking each other. Design ko, feline ni.
You haven't conquered 24/7 electricity, modern sewer system, transportation, pipe borne water and you leapt straight to drone manufacturing.
This is a common drone and is used by many militaries of the world.
The fact that this was made by the NAF is reason we celebration. If DAICON payed more attention to research, Nigeria won't be buy every military hardware abroad.
KratosCorp: Don't mind them. It's just their usual tribal baiting and propaganda. They probably felt that igbos were the one bursting their burble about the drone being made in 2013. So this is likely a deliberate attempt to shut the nay saying igbos up.
Just check out the choice of phrase used in the writeup.
Let's see if you have anything in that skull. Spot the difference.
michoim: False report. Handiwork of PDP. If GEJ commissioned any drone in the time past ; can't another president commission another type of drone? Mumu PDP...
Don't mind them, Nigerians ignorantly support them. There's a clear difference from the 2 UAVs starting from the wing span, hours of operational endurance, payload, flight ceiling among others. Gulma was a prototype and Tsaigumi is an operational UAV
