Nigerdeltaboi:This is brilliant. Methinks though we shouldn't let anyone get the wiser till deliveries are complete then we launch. Sales like this tend to come with sensitive rights protection though and third party transfer clauses. It could be for a time period or indefinite in it's life cycle. But trust our guys. Hope u relate. |
Xbee007:He is no fast learner. He's having a déjà vu all over again. Of course we know he's a nigerian whose loyalties are to himself hence the self deluded arrogance. Him and "saintjoel" are same person. Someone caught pants down still reveling in ignominy instead of hiding in silence. ![]() |
jakeporeshenko:Yea doesn't mean we are gonna invade these countries. The answers are in my post and that suffices also for those who keep misinterpreting my comments. No one takes a knife to a gun fight but you still take a knife with you along with your gun into a fight. Maybe u understand what I mean. Now some will take that out of context and spew stupidity as is common on nairaland. |
The gods are lenient with the resident Indian this day. We hold the truth dear because it is self-evident. The resident Indian should own up being caught pants down. It is clear in black and white in lay mans language sensitive material in the sale is classified in the link Jake provided. And if I had time I'd reap apart the nonsense about weapons package being in the open. Thinking everyone is blind in the land of the blind is arrogance. It's not the first time since I came onboard. Iblawi was the first to catch him red handed. This is the second time. If only the guys dared to ask questions. Coming here to plagiarize content is not smartness. There's a difference between a trained agent and a wannabe expert. There's only trained and untrained. A 5 year old kid can see between and through the headless and tailless rant for a retort to truth that's evident for all to see. By the way whatever happened to the resident indian's many monnikers like "saintjoel". It is futile to try to know who I am. You have repeatedly failed. Quit trying. A magician made an elephant disappear in the middle of a crowd and the people wondered how he did it. How did he do it? Knowing that makes Covert what he remains: Covert. |
Henry240:Henry thanks, pls leave the boy. We would be belittling ourselves responding to him. Methinks you do know him though. I already made my deductions. |

upko1:Lunacy is when you think nairaland is a place to be important or show importance. Its self evident in your retort you are not in the intelligent quotient of my audience. Ignorance can be delusional. |
upko1:Thank you. I think you need to comprehend the post first then come back and retype some sense. Nothing is ignorant, stupid and or retarded in my comments. I chose my words carefully. Every word has a meaning. The NAF is not the USAF. But the USAF is now adopting the approach of the NAF to counter low-level threats. The only draw back of the Tucanos is it's slow speed otherwise is as advanced as any 4th generation fighter in the USAF. Facts don't kill even it's to the detriment of Nigeria I'll say it. Nigeria is not stupid to go invading Morocco or Algeria with propeller driven aircrafts alone. So the stupidity is in your post. By the way get some self esteem. Insults don't give self confidence. |
jakeporeshenko:Well another validation of Covert. Someone said and we know who that nothing would be classified in the sale. Am sure we all see that military secret is protected in this sale just as I said. Save the best for last. Thanks Jake. |
jakeporeshenko:Jake no scaremongering here. Am saying with the full spectrum of Air assets some of which are yet to be delivered the NAF can be of contest in any air space in the region. By integration you synthesize combat roles & sorties, information sharing & analysis etc. About early warning, in today's warfare you might just be blind as radar might be your life or death. Modern Air Forces invest a lot in Air Intel assets for advantage and in that we excel far above those countries you mentioned. How do ELINT compliant aircrafts transmit co-ordinates? The Tucanos come in under cover from air-superiority jets or better still when you have gained air space control. Stand off is an option. Pls stop mentioning Morocco and Tunisia. Warfare is not only MiGs, Sukhoi's and F-16s. You won't even see some of those birds take off when we invade. Just ask the Ukraine Air Force against Russian backed rebels. Saudi Arabia and it's allies are still bombing Yemen with 4th generation jets and advanced helicopters yet the Houthi's are still holding Sanaa the capital and making mince meat of the Saudis. The Army didn't go AWOL. Artillery and Armoured forces are game changers. The infantry is still the queen of the battle. In the end who captures, secures and holds ground wins. |
overhypedsteve: Sarcasm my guess. No one is invading anyone anytime soon Those hard assets are on the cards anyway and slowly but surely becoming the new reality but only for strategic effect, diplomacy, statement and deterrence as the regions dominant power. The document in question is of interest to me. Pls can you provide citation. Is this a different document from what's up here. Whose the writer and what's the motive here. An intellectual conversation would be helpful. This France thing is becoming like a conspiracy theory not that anyone turns a blind eye in Abuja. The French are known to start a war and run away for others to do the heavy lifting. Military planners always plan, contemplate and prepare for all threats especially threats to our survival as a nation. What balance of power vis-a-vis France? There is only one hegemon in West and Central Africa and that's Nigeria not France. France presently is not a threat to Nigeria. Nigeria is of greater economic value to France than all of francophone Africa combined. Nigeria and France ain't gonna fight a direct war. It is silly to think that. For the sake of contemplation if the world suddenly goes mad and we go to war, anything short of a nuclear weapon France can't win a war with Nigeria. It will be a forever war which France can't win and can't sustain and it will happen all over west and central Africa. It won't be only here. We won't wait for them to come kill us at home. Nigeria's strategic partners also have a nuclear weapon. No one is gonna use that. That would be a war against the black man and the end of civilization as we know it. We ain't going back to slavery. Let's stop the fuss over their deployments. They provide direct cover for their lackeys and really in essence helping us spending their money. All of the French deployment in west and central Africa is insignificant compared to Nigeria's size. With their current deployment if the president gives the go the Nigerian Army 82nd combined arms division Enugu will be in Yaounde in a fortnight drinking palm wine in Paul Biya's living room. The 1st mechanized division Kaduna will be doing the masquerade dance in Chad in 7 days. To stop or delay it they'd have to bring a division down here and we will make it their graveyard. There will be no Francophone aggression. There will be no Anglophone aggression. Nigeria created ECOWAS to foster unity and co-operation among the people's of west Africa who are peace loving and tolerant. ECOWAS primarily exist both for economic reasons and a mechanism to checkmate the excesses of foreign powers in our region and against the repeat of clandestine backing for secessionists like in the Biafran war. We have the AU and the UN. By the way Nigeria will outstrip France economically in less than 25 odd years. The balance of the world will change. For now let them spend their money. They are only seeking relevance. |
ssaengine:No, by region I'm talking of Africa. Depending on which country in sub-Saharan Africa and not just west Africa the Tucano may suffice as some of these countries pose no credible threat. Some have planes but have no Air Force. Nigeria has other assets other than the JF-17 thunders to meet some of the threats that currently exist. The JF-17 thunder will be an over-kill for some of these countries. |
jakeporeshenko:By region I mean Africa. West Africa is our sub-region. North-East Nigeria encompasses Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states where the Nigerian Military is currently engaged in active counter terrorism operations. Presently the Nigerian Air Force considers itself a credible threat and deterrence and among the foremost Air Forces that currently exist in the region. But gaps exist some of which the A-29 covers. The A-29 is not only primed for COIN. It is a 4th generation aircraft effective for the ground attack role and interdiction in a low threat environment. This procurement sees an advanced suite and weapons systems on the Embraer A-29 Super Tucano non-existent currently in sub-Saharan Africa and arguably only Egypt comes close. Integrated in a complex of systems and assets for air-superiority, air-defence, ECM/EW, early warning, C&C, targeting and strike etc and very importantly pilot skill and capacity makes the NAF far more potent and viable than previously existed bringing hitherto unchallenged and uncontested air space into contention. This alters the current balance of air power in the region. |
Random Pics: Nigeria And Men of Honor.

Psyops alone eviscerates our enemies. With your average working 8 hour a day loiter time in the air on a single combat patrol laced with advanced instant see and kill capability this bird will change the dynamics of the war in the north-east and strategically the balance of Air Power in the region.

iblawi:This one na trouble who no gree buy for market This one is already spitting death. Man you obviously have no patience with bad guys and terrorists me like too

Adminisher:Tell them biko..so far covert is being validated. We all got to live with the new reality. |
Anyone notice how whenever Nigeria is on the up and up in modern weapon acquisition some bad belles here will be posting stuff from Sudan and insignificant African countries. Wetin! No apologies here, Nigeria is not the mate of your average African country, get it into your head -- you know yourselves -- stop the nonsense. Ah! SMH. |
newafricaken254:But worth the wait if you have a willing partner like President Donald J. Trump. Whatever misgivings we have with our US partners they acknowledge our strategic leadership position in Africa and the very important stabilizing role we play. For one thing aside performance which is relative, American weapon systems are top notch. Their engines for example have a longer life span compared to those from the east so much so that their single engine Aircrafts can carry same weapon payload like twin engine Aircrafts from say Russia obviously driving up operational and maintenance costs. May God bless Trump for Nigeria. The advanced Embraer A-29 Super Tucano sale to Nigeria is a goodwill of his administration after the humiliation we suffered from the last administration. Better days are ahead. |
Henry240:This Is Brilliant, Like Fine Words On Marble. Your Love For Country Makes Jealous. As Always You Are A Pleasure To Read. Again, Warm Thanks Sir. |
ActivateKruger:Nah, ain't gonna happen. Egypt don't have the capacity to win a war against Algeria and vice-versa. Such a war would end in attrition with long term economic and structural damage to both countries. In terms of proximity, Algeria's first geo-political foe is Morocco and not that a war is gonna happen either cos of external power pressures and allegiances, lack of appetite and what for in essence—not worth the cost. Terrorism is Algeria's contemporary threat and since there is no permanent friend or foe in this unpredictable world every odd century an imagined European re-conquest is the angst based on it's history. |
ssaengine:Stop the pettiness! I expect better from u. Proforce ain't stupid, it's a professional organisation that do bids based on clients specifications. What is evident is that the ARA MRAP meets CT/COIN dynamics and can be upgraded depending on combat exigencies. What everyone knows is that the Nigerian Army is a battles tested Army to learn from. That's what Generals do not whine in contempt. |
Henry240:A great Job. Thanks. Your extra mile effort have now put paid to amateur wannabe analysts who know next to nothing but want tell us they know better than experts in the field and experts in arms engineering. Just looking at the rubbish contention they were putting up about the ARA MRAP ground clearance made it condescending to respond. As u know there was no point responding to pain and envy in the first place. |
Henry240:Apt response from you to the cynic. A good one. The beggar-thy-neigbour approach to Africa is set to continue changing for self-sustenance and even potential exports with indigenous companies like Proforce, Innoson and many more now coming on stream and the worst unbelievers like the cynic in question might just about start seeing that Nigger-MRAP somewhere in there neighborhood. |
Henry240:Exactly so...the size of our military and defence requirements is enough to keep the industry oiled for the long term. Especially private companies being in it for the profit more innovation and production is anticipated across the broad spectrum of defence and security needs. Continuity should see Nigerian manufactured armaments earning us foreign exchange across Africa and beyond going forward backed by our diplomatic weight. |
While we've still not gotten over the beauty and the beast of the proforce Ara MRAP, Henry and tdayof are blasting us with even more wonder weapons out of Naija.
|
Henry240:Out of Africa! Makes You Wonder. Wow! Really Beautiful Things Are Happening These Days. Proudly Naija. With These, Low Level Targets of Opportunity Can Be Engaged Instantly On Sight And Neutralized. An Answer To Some Very Present Security Needs Around The World. This Is Just Impressive! |
The Nigerians Are Coming
|
ActivateKruger:AK seems u were reading minds. Actually I was thinking the same thing but more of such like the PROFORCE ARA is coming in the Air and on the Seas that we might not be talking of the Gripen for quite some time ![]() |
Odunayaw:Lol The guy sha but na true patriot wey need good spoiling I feel like it ![]() |
First Domestic Procurements And Then Big Ticket Item Exports.
