andrewza, dont waste my time, i dont know the kind of english language they teach you in south african schools. you dont limit the interpretation of various kinds of payload/weapons, it is an open ended statement, google the english meaning. dont wait for every website to write every information about weapons for you like a 3 year old boy. same way you agrue about american navy stealth warships with various types of changeable payload weapons modules, you just never learn and improve your thinking skills.

the whole worlds of science and technology cannot be limited to what andrewza thinks or knows.

i never said all nigerian navy vessels carry missiles, but many do. did i say defender class boat carries missile ? dont misquote me and dont put words in my mouth, i am not here on trial in a court of law. i am just doing the little my time will allow. i am not here to write a full text book of weapons.

there are small warhead missiles carried by israeli drones the whole world knows and we all see it fired on TV. i never said anti-ship missile, there are small boats on sea that can be quickly hit by a small warhead missile similar to what air drones fire on land vehicles. use your head to think outside the box and dont be locked up in a cage. the nigerian sea drone carries 2,500kg of payload and itself weighs 6,000kg so you think that is small ?

please dont waste my time i wont answer baby questions from baby kind of thinking again. sorry no insult intended sir.

nigerian military new weapons are coming in and i cannot track everything, it has spoiled the war simulation i made for nigeria vs south africa, i just have to reveiw it after i track some of the new nigerian wepaons, not easy to find, nigerian army refusing to declare all their new purchases.

new nigerian army SandCat MRAP for desert warfare in mali. it is a very modern combat vehicle. many units already delivered.

nigerian navy the details says it carries 2,500kg of various kinds of payload/weapons for different types of naval missions, and just like air drone UAV carries missiles for israeli attack in palestine, so does the israeli made USV sea drone carry missiles for nigerian navy. andrewza stop wasting my time and use some adult common sense to interpret what i post all the time, no insult intended, but i have work to do in the office, sorry.

nigerian navy seastar sea drone USV

so snydergp what do you gain from that all noise you posted above ? goodnight

andrewza: What missiles. And KND overs a simlar boat. But SA has no need for one.

spend your time to read the details about missiles on the nigerian navy israeli sea drone USV, its there, i posted so much detail. the details says it carries 2,500kg of different kinds of payload/weapons, and just like air drone UAV carries missiles for israeli attack in palestine, so does the israeli made sea drone carry missiles for nigerian navy i dont have time to answer query, this posts on page 103 kept me awake till midnight. i am going to sleep. goodnight.

ITS NOTHING SPECIAL, nigerian military trains with american, british, israeli, indian, pakistani, and other great special forces of the world.

............[size=14pt]Nigeria develops unmanned coastal capability[/size]......................................



Jane's Defence Weekly (27 April, 2008)

Nigeria is developing a national coastal defence alignment based mainly on unmanned platforms.

Under a USD260 million contract signed in March, Israeli Aeronautics Defense Systems will design and build the naval array, providing manned and unmanned naval and aerial systems, coastal radars and command-and-control centers.

This structure will cover all of Nigeria's 853 km coastline and will be designed to protect its territorial waters and the offshore oil platforms in the Niger River delta.To manage the project, the Nigerian government has established a special office that will be linked to the Nigerian Navy, Coast Guard and Ministry of Transportation.

The array will be based on Aeronautics' Aerostar tactical unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and the Seastar unmanned surface vehicle (USV). Three Aerostar systems will be provided, each including 3 to 6 platforms, and 3 Seastar systems, including several USVs.

Both systems are controlled through Aeronautics' Unmanned Multi-Application System terminal and software, which provide air vehicle and payload control and enable the integration of different sensors. The Aerostar, with 14 hours operational endurance, is equipped with Controp's Dual-Sensor Stabilized Payload DSP-1, providing day/night surveillance coverage.

The 11 m-long Seastar USV provides a mission range of 350 nautical miles and can carry payloads up to 2,500 kg. It could be equipped with day/night sensors, electronic surveillance measures, electronic intelligence/communications sensors, sonar and a stabilized gun system. Together they will comprise an unmanned formation of maritime surveillance and response

The alignment will be complemented with two manned maritime patrol aircraft, equipped with an Inverted Synthetic Aperture Radar.


Under the terms of the contract, 10 naval radar stations will be built along the coastline. Aeronautics will set up two command-and-control centres at the Nigerian Navy's Western Command in Apapa, Lagos, and at the Eastern Command in Calabar. A national command-and-control centre will be established at navy headquarters in Ojo, Lagos.

All centers will receive real-time surveillance information from the various platforms and could control the unmanned missions. In addition to the new surveillance alignment, the Nigerian Navy will establish three forward operating bases in the delta region and has procured six Defender-class fast response boats from SAFE Boats International.

For Aeronautics, the new contract marks substantial growth. " :thumb: It is one of the largest projects in the world in the area of unmanned systems," a spokesperson for Aeronautics told Jane's. "The contract grants the company an unshakable status as a global leader in this area."

Located in Yavne, Israel, privately-owned Aeronautics is competing against Israel's two leading UAV developers: Israel Aircraft Industries and Elbit Systems. With Aerostar sales to eight countries, among them the US, Greece, Angolaand Georgia, and with its Orbiter mini-UAV sold to three international customers, the company appears to be taking a considerable share of the growing international UAV market.

ATR-42MP SURVEYOR RADAR PLANES (TWO UNITS)


Given their technical specs., these planes(reportedly acquired at a cost of US$83m) from any point in the eastern Niger Delta will be able to cover Nigeria's entire joint maritime zones with Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Sao Tome and Gabon. The planes are to effectively cover a field of view the size of France whilst conducting search-and-resecue operations while it can detect oil slicks over an area equal in size to Burkina Faso,Ghana and Ivory Coast put together.

The configuration of these planes, as obtained from an online description, suggests that they will be coming with hatches in the belly which can be opened. This means they may also be used for dropping supplies, launching AeroStar UAVs and for paratroop drops.


"The ATR 42 Surveyor, also known as the ATR 42 MP, is a derivative of proven ATR 42 commercial aircraft developed to conduct maritime patrol missions and coastal surveillance. It can load the wide spectrum of equipment required to conduct that kind of missions such as radar, FLIR, TV camera, Electronic Support Measures (ESM), Communications and Navigation systems. In addition, bubble panoramic windows have been provided to the Surveyor for optimal visual observation of the environment. The ATR 42 Surveyor can remain on station for up to 8 hours at 200 nautical miles from its base airfield"

Also, 9 months ago or thereabouts, we brought to our notice the fact that the French President had granted approval for the supply of the following hardware systems for the benefit of the Nigerian Navy

*FOUR large patrol craft
*THIRTY gunboats
*TWELVE units of Eurocopter AS-555SN naval attack helicopters.


The helicopter is fitted with a wide range of weapon systems to suit the mission and operational requirements of the country's forces.

The AS 555SN is used for shipborne missions operating from ships above 650t.

The 12 helicopters are all equipped for anti-submarine warfare and over the horizon (OTH) targeting.

The 12 helicopters can carry a lightweight homing torpedo. A chin-mounted Telephonics RDR-1500B X-band, 360° digital colour radar is used for search and surveillance.

The radar also provides weather avoidance, beacon transponder location, and waypoint navigation display.

[size=14pt]...........Best Fast Attack Sea Power In Africa, Nigerian Navy Gun-Missile Super Boats.........[/size]

Nigerian Navy has the largest, most modern and most powerful force of naval sea, river, coast, swamp, lagoon, and creek water vessels/boats in the whole of Africa, superior to Egypt, Algeria, South Africa, and all other rivals in shallow waters combat power.

About 300 fast attack/assault sea/river vessels/boats of various sizes 10m to 60m are in service with the Nigeria Navy for this type of naval combat. About 250 of those vessels/boats are brand new latest ultra-modern technology and purchased between years 2007 and 2012, they make nigerian navy rank among the top 10 largest and most modern small to medium fast naval combat vessel navies in the whole world.

Only Nigerian Navy has stealth and missile armed fast attack sea crafts in Africa, with 4 brand new eagle class vessels purchased from singapore but built in Australia with the best stealth technology in the world today.

No African navy can dare to challenge the great Nigerian Navy to sea, river, coast, swamp, lagoon or creek water battle, any such challenger will be made to sink to the bottom of the waters for ever.

View photos of these un-beatable force of the Nigerian Navy below.

Capnd143 : News from defense review by brig.GENERAL ibrahim Atahiru said nigeria just received 35 desert terrain vehicles and is currently undergoing pre-combat modification before being sent to Mali, Atahiru also said the have place others for 40 MRAPS for mali mission, bt i dont knw the exact specification . Any body has any Idea?

yes the new army vehicles purchase story is in this day newpapers online today. weblink below :
http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/army-procures-35-desert-terrain-vehicles-for-mali-war-efforts/142034/

that is the first and the last time you will get any information on that story from nigerian army, and no details of the desert terrain vehicles, too much secretive. nigerian military buys many weapons and nigerians are not informed of details, then we have to be searching online hoping to find details and photos of our own weapons bought with our own money.

as at now nobody can fully track all nigerian military weapons being purchased at a fast rate now, previously ordered weapons are pouring into nigerian armoury now, and new weapon orders are being made almost every month. nigeria is heavily spending on new and sophisticated weapons from all over the world. the nation is in a state of war
