Interesting.

Congratulations, I suspect that Kenya is now the latest Bayraktar drone operator. Al Shabab and M23 rebels should have the fear of God in them right this instant

The Nigerian Air Force has shown no interest in this Aircraft, it's just fan-boys like us that keep wishing we get them.

However I really doubt NAF would purchase this any fighter jets soon, especially with the purchase of the M-346F/A.

Same thing I've pondering about this while. The F-7Ni Airguards were extensively upgraded and together with the JF 17s, they've formed a squadron. The A29 tucanos will be at the forefront of COIN operations with mop up support from combat helicopters and drones, while the incoming M346FA will serve as back up for the light attack and fighter jets on ground. So there is no assurance that combat aircrafts will be coming in anytime soon apart from the already ordered ones.

With a 6 billion dollars military budget, we should be able to get some of these right??

Can somebody pls stop Chin... with their "VERY FAST" developments, it's getting out of hand and count

Lca mk2 from a tender doc

Asymmetric configuration

4 BVRAAMs

2 WVRAAMS

2 Droptanks

4 SAAW glide PGMs

1 TARA PGM

1 Long range glide bomb either 500kg or 1 ton class

1 Lightening pod

They don't have up to 4 squadrons of LCA mk1 and they are already running after mk 2, TEDBF and even AMCA. More worse, they are looking for export.

The Pakista... began with up to a 100 JF 17 blk1 then they started construction of JF 17 blk 2 and upgraded some blk1 to blk 2 standards. Now they are on the construction of JF 17 blk3 and they are definitely going to upgrade previous blks to the blk 3 standard.

Going through your write ups about Liberals, Conservatives, rascism and apartheid and seeing this pics of S.A policemen especially that of white and blacks, side by side in one pic, I gotta say, S.A's political history deserves a documentary that should be immortalized for the young generations and coming ones to learn a thing or two.

The J-10C is such an excellent aircraft, if only we could channel some of that $6 Billion to China for this Aircraft.

If we do get the aircraft, that will be more lethal firepower in the airforce ranks but hopeful that a particular super Power does not come out to say;

"We will from now on suspend any arms deal with Nigeria because of violations of human rights(unfounded) and lack of credible demoCRAZY and freedom of expression.

Defense News Nigeria is not a source on any defense related news in Nigeria.

How can you trust him as a source on any thing.

Nah this is not DNN, it's a YouTube channel that uploads news and vids about the Nigerian military, Defcon 1 Africa.

Stormtrooper11:


Exactly. I only have three reservations for this tank. Price, side turret armour and APS.

I'm not sure if the Korean APS is tested but the side turret armour can be easily upgraded for a Nigerian version.

The Korean version featured minimal side turret armour because it was seen to be a Korean tank built for mountainous warfare as that's the terrain of South Korea. The Koreans don't believe that their primary enemy, North Korea would flank them in attacks due to the terrain. However, Nigeria is multi terrain. We'll need upgrades.

Just when I thought we can trust Chinese made weapons...

On 25 November 2022, Rwandan Peacekeepers under MINUSCA were decorated with UN Service Medals in an event that was held in Bangui City, at RWABATT10 HQs, Socatel M’Poko Base.

Is Nigeria still in any peacekeeping mission in any part of the world

I love how we are living rent free in your head .
The Armed Forces of Nigeria is present in Guinea Bissau to keep the nation calm and prevent any form of overthrow of government.
They are also present in Gambia since the 2016 Gambia incident and our soldiers are there because of a request made by the President of Gambia to ECOWAS to keep ECOMOG presence for the country to be at calm.

Members of Senate and Parliament visit Rwandan peacekeepers in South Sudan.

I can't recall the last time any of nigeria's fat cat parliamentarians visited soldiers on the field in Nigeria or any other part of the world.
What exactly do they do with their millions of dollars of security and community votes they give them?

Calm your titties princess, literally almost everything about the military is classified. You only see what the military wants to publish to the public and that is just to show that the military is still hale, hearty and gallant as ever.
Just last month November, some house members visited an air force base to see the maintenance of a C-130H Hercules.

Today, Rwanda Defence Force officers and other ranks concluded a 10 months Basic Special Operation Forces Course at the Basic Military Training Centre Nasho.

Rwanda is standing up a very capable armed forces from training to kitting to equipment to kinetic actions. And they are quite experienced as well. They have fought in east, central ,southafrica and could potentially be landed in west Africa soon.
It's impressive that a country so small and with limited resources could almost match the top tier african militaries.

Rwandan forces land in West Africa?? Hell Nooo.
After supporting the M23 rebels in destabilizing the DRC they want to come and spread their gospel of supporting radicals and rebels in the ECOWAS region. It can't and will never work.

ADEGUNWA01:


I only compare the dss with the army in terms of guns not the full ammunitions like the artillery gunnery,Armour tankers etc but the gun the dss uses are far sophisticated than the army Ak47. The army special force are the only one using the Tavor in the army other regular soldiers uses Ak47.
I agree with u with other submissions sir

Don't be mistaken, the Nigerian Army has changed it's main assault rifle to the Beryl M762. They are steadily doing away with the AK 47.
The army also makes use of sniper rifles, machine guns(both heavy and light), semi automatic pistols and even shot guns. I don't think the DSS operates these
The IWI Tavor is nothing so special, they don't shoot lasers or fireballs, they shoot the same bullets that are shot by other rifles be it a 7.62mm or 5.56mm cartridge so don't be deceived by the bullpup appearance. Even the special forces of the military also make use of the Tavor rifles

RiceProducers:


The only time on Russia 's side is that which allows further destruction of their military capability. Ukraine is developing capabilities in long range loitering munitions which combined with Western weapons and Patriot missiles will prove decisive.

There is now intense pressure on military industrial capacity in China, Russia, Iran and South Korea trying to meet Russian requirements for the war. These capacities will start to deplete when these countries factor in their own requirements against Israel, Taiwan and South Korea.

By mid 2023, everything will be be clear about the direction of the war which i believe in a world shaking defeat of Russia and removal or assassination of Putin

Defeat of Russia?? I don't think so. The US with the financial, political and physical support from it's fellow NATO Gangsters did not subdue the Afghan Talibans completely even after 20 years.
Russia is a large country that cannot be affected by weapons embargo cause it is a weapons manufacturing country.
Russia has resisted the combined forces of UkraiNATO for 10 whole months while holding on to 15% of Ukrainian territory.
The so called sanctions that were placed on it also backfired to the E.U. With the present inflation crisis, energy crisis, cost of living crisis, political crisis and the imminent war fatigue, it's just a matter of time before the remote controllers of Ukraine finally agree to entertain genuine peace talks.

Pls is the dss/sss more equipped and better paid than the army. I want to know pls someone is arguing that the army is more equipped and well paid than the dss

The Nigerian Army is better equiped and better paid

GreenandGold:


Our stance is stupid, honestly... but it's more about what the ANC decides than what is good for the economy... I mean, we have systems that Ukraine needs, and they could be easily supplied competitively.

S.A is a BRICS nation, supplying Ukraine with weapons for the sake of business shouldn't even be on your mind. Your govt did well to stay neutral and not submit to the pressure of the US... unlike Morocco who just supplied Ukraine with refurbished T-72B tanks. This will give Russia a good reason to help Algeria win the arms race between the two North African countries and to support Algeria in their tensions with Morocco over the Western Sahara.

This current military PR get mind oooh, so Nigeria launch military satellite we no even know

You just read my mind, as in how could they launch a satellite in November and keep it secret till December??
Beats me on how many other things they've been keeping secret from the public.

Does the SANDF operate the HAL Dhruv or what helicopter is that in the first pic??

jteku:
For countries represented here if your country was to go for an attack helicopter in an urban warfare let's say like Ukraine, sentiment aside between the 2 below which would you prefer.

It is certain that there are many capable and dangerous military attack helicopters in the world, but what is the best of the best? The two most capable and lethal attack helicopters are undoubtedly the Boeing AH-643 Apache Guardian that serves for the USAF and the Kamov Ka-52 Alligator that is operated by the Russian Air Force. It would be pretty interesting to find out which is the most powerful and advanced helicopter out of these two.

They are both good attack helicopters though but I like to think the Ka-52 is best fit for amphibious operations. So the AH 64 is good for urban warfare not minding collateral damage

Stop derailing the thread.

Pls ignore his likes. Their so called leader/nation agitator is still in custody of security operatives, so no 50 naira for them as usual, they've been told to "sit at home".
Another reason for his frustration could possibly be when Kenya extradited the trouble making old man to Nigeria (By the way, thank you for that and we really love your actions).

UN secretary-general calls on Nigeria to investigate report of forced abortions

(Reuters) -United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on Nigerian authorities to investigate allegations of systemic and coerced abortions reportedly perpetrated by the Nigerian army, U.N spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on Friday.

Reuters reported on Wednesday that the Nigerian Army has run a secret, systematic and illegal abortion programme in the country’s northeast since at least 2013.

The programme involved terminating at least 10,000 pregnancies among women and girls, many of whom had been kidnapped and raped by Islamist militants, according to dozens of witness accounts and documentation reviewed by Reuters.

“The Secretary-General takes note with concern of the allegations of systemic and coerced abortions reportedly perpetrated by the Nigerian Army against women and girls who had already been victimized by Boko Haram,” Dujarric said in an email to Reuters.

He called for a thorough investigation and “immediate remedial actions and accountability measures,” if such measures were necessary.

“We call on the Nigerian authorities to fully investigate these allegations and make sure there’s accountability,” Dujarric told reporters later on Friday.

A U.S. State Department spokesperson said the Biden administration was “deeply troubled.”

“Our embassy in Abuja is seeking further information, including from the government of Nigeria and stakeholders working in this space,” the spokesperson said. “We have encouraged the government of Nigeria to take the allegations seriously and to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation, and we will continue to do so.”

Nigeria’s defence chief said on Thursday the military will not investigate the report, saying it was not true. The Nigerian government has not responded publicly to the story.

Nigeria’s Information Minister Lai Mohammed could not immediately be reached for comment on the U.N. call for an investigation.

This is absolute B.S. The UN General Assembly is not an organization to be taken serious. Russia has already exposed it to be an organization that has lost its credibility. Infact it should be renamed the United NATO Gangsters Association under the command and control of the United Sanctions of Warmerica
