And. We still spend more per persons than Angola, Nigeria, Algeria, extra. So if we got troubled how bad are they doing.

a horse's gold.

@OP,it isnt a recent development,nigeria has been producing surveillance drone for a while now,from the amebo series to the gulma....
all the same,your efforts to enlighten the public are well appreciated,because many people dont even know that we produce surveillance drones and APCs.

agaugust:
You don't know South Africans are fools ?

sometimes i tend to forget....i've never encountered anyone so well versed in the dubious art of spinning lies like a south africans.

agaugust:
Not sure, but I will list most of Nigeria's newly purchased weapons here in a few weeks times, full list of what is confirmed, many secret deals will still be unknown to public maybe forever. Some of the weapons I will list have not been disclosed before now. A colleague in the same profession has the list already and I will get it.

Ok,i'll keep my limbs crossed then.

MikeCZAR:
You drank palm win again?

Nope.

MikeCZAR:
You're telling us Nigeria will spend 20% of her GDP on defence.

zam zam.

agaugust:
The first photo is NAF MBB 105 combat helicpoter retired. It's smaller than Puma.

thanks chief agaugust,i mistook it for a puma under refurbishment,especially looking at the head.

agaugust:
NAF new upgraded Pumas are also armed with weapons, rockets, cannon, etc
NAF is also arming Augusta helicopters and we have armed Gazelle combat helicopters.
NAF has the best helicopter combat force in Africa if we add the 52 new combat helicopters coming from Russia and Belarus this year
.

thanks for the update oga agaugust,it is very much appreciated.
do you know when the first batch of our JF-17 will arrive?

try driving your top heavy SUV cross country at speed. People look at tanks and think they slow, sure on the road they slow but they can hit speeds over road no SUV could reach.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wKfpPrRVIo

Be that as it may.Tanks can never match a light automobile vehicle on asphalt speed,the very idea is a preposterious fallacy.that tank in the video was barely running at half the speed of a recharged SUV.

MikeCZAR:
"have more endurance and mobility"

the same way an SUV fitted with attilery guns and rocket launchers is likely to give your oliphants a run for its money,why did i say that?; because though the oliphant can demolish the SUV from almost 2km away,the SUV is faster and more mobile than the powerful oliphant can ever hope to be.
does it mean that a common SUV is superior to the oliphant?; No,but the SUV has mobility advantage,it would be very difficult to target an SUV at full speed.

MikeCZAR:
And that's how much of their GDP?

why dont you do it yourself?,thats about 3.8% of america's GDP,your point is?

A very splendid report,i commend the NA for their gallantry in face of overwhelming odds.

The article above is a perfect example of bad journalism....it is very disappointing that a media outlet would resort to political bias in delivering a news report.i've known newsrescue for a while now,and all the articles written by them are always partisan and denigrating,it is indeed a perfect mockery of journalism.
our once proud media has now fallen into the pit of fallacy,many of our journalists are mentally unstable opportunists who are hell bent on utilizing the 'power of journalism' as a tool for destabilizing our national integrity.
Our media is now a house of braggards,where reporters accept meagre stipends from greedy politicians and other unscrupulous elements of the society,in exchange for bad reporting.It is a very disturbing phenomenon indeed,that is why we must find the truth ourselves,instead of sitting down and swallowing the propaganda being heaped on the frontpage of our newspapers and magazines.

MikeCZAR:
No.

you cant type more than a couple of words?.you dont even know what you are talking about.
abeg get out.

MikeCZAR:
Evarn just use google okay?

pardon my mistake,i meant US$678 billion,i mistakenly typed 'trillion' instead of 'billion'.

ahaz:
pls tell d enemy of nigeria.

credit should be given when due,the situation where nigerians assign the praises and recognition meant for our troops to chad,cameroon or niger is totally unacceptable.it only shows how our compatriots wallow in self pity,many possess a subservient mentality that quickly ascribes all our progresses to the meagre efforts of another country.
we must try to erase the destabilizing plague of low self esteem that is further engineered by political,religious and ethnic affiliations.
The backward mentality that the OP has displayed clearly shows us how the reasoning of many nigerians have been tampered by ignorance and lack of self worth.
Therefore,i strongly urge us to put our patriotism first,patriotism boosts self esteem.if we destroy our national pride,how will we be respected in the international community?,no foreigner will recognize you as mr john,they will only recognize you by your nationality as a nigerian.let us appreciate our armed forces

MikeCZAR:
"have more endurance and mobility"

yes they do.and you cant argue otherwise

MikeCZAR:
. This is not a super puma.

pray tell me what it is then.

MikeCZAR:
Yes!

How much does the US spend on defence?

US$678 trillion as at last year.

@Op,you should endeavor to change the topic,it wasnt chadian soldiers who recaptured gwoza.only dikwa was liberated by chadian soldiers,while gwoza was liberated by nigerian troops.

MikeCZAR:
They're not warships.

Not only frigates are entitled to be called 'warships',any OPV that has combat capability,sophisticated radar technology and high endurance also qualifies as gallant warship.
Many blue water navies take coastal guards for granted,but the truth is that OPVs have more endurance and mobility than most frigates.your frigates will be sunk into the atlantic ocean by any OPV that can be fitted with missiles.

NAF NEWLY UPGRADED SUPER PUMA

NAF SUPER PUMA

MikeCZAR:
Do you know what's 20% of your GDP?

what is 20% of our GDP?

MikeCZAR:
I sometime feel like I shouldn't respond your jokes mate.

well,the fact that you responded to the purported joke makes you a bigger joke.
what i posted was the truth.
bad belle is allowed!!
now die of jealousy

nothing.
the UN is a dubious aegis for western imperialism,the world can never ever be united.never.

^^^^@Chief agaugust,chad never stood a chance against boko haram in the first place.fighting islamic terrorism is more than owning 3 MiG29 that are flown by belarusian recruits.
Let me reiterate that chad does not have air superiority over us,even with our current F7s and Alpha jets,we have more missile capability and aerial resources than them.When our 40 JF-17s arrive,we will be able to project aerial dominance all over west and central africa.
Chad came rushing into the fray,expecting cheap publicity from our overzealous media,but they got a bitter taste of what CT Ops is,they recently claim to have 'recaptured' dikwa,whereas dikwa was already half empty when they got there,they only met a few pockets of resistances yet they claim to have killed 117 without picture evidence.
both chad and cameroon are french puppet posing to be heroes.
As for cameroon,the US is now arming cameroon to challenge our military dominance,but it wont work,especially with france and cameroon now at each others neck.

the US is arming cameroon to destabilize this region and challenge our military dominance

MikeCZAR:
20% of your GDP you say?

Wake up mate!

yes,by 2025,our defence budget will be 20% of our GDP{which will be US$1.4trillion by 2025},so that gives us US$30 000 000 000 as our annual defence budget as from 2025.but until then,we will continue spending between US$2 000 000 000-US$3 000 000 000 as our annual military budget.

MikeCZAR:
If funding remains the same after the war, then this would mean BH is just a start to a long cycle of insurgencies in NE Nigeria.

a valid point,but one without basis.last year we approved US$2 000 000 000 for our military purchase,that is set to continue over the next 7-10 years,then there will be an increase until we achieve a defence budget worth 20% of our GDP,which means that by 2025,we will have a military budget of US$30 000 000 000.
So you see,i very much doubt that ISIS will be organized enough to conquer the whole of libya,mali,niger and chad for the next at least 5 years.so that gives us time to arm,train,increase in size and strategize.

Msauza:
Thanks to SA mercenaries.

So it is SA mercenaries that also captured boko haram commanders?,what else did SA mercenaries do,lift up zuma rock?.dont be a clown.
