Based on the now trending news of the US suspecting about a terrorist attack in Abuja, Nigeria. What do you guys think about it.

And I also learnt that the US also gave such warning to South Africa about a terrorist attack in Sandton.

I for one don't believe the US suspicions cause;

1) They couldn't even predict a terrorist attack of mass shooting in a school in California just recently this week. They also couldn't predict an attack on Kuje correctional centre, Presidential guards brigade and on the presidential convoy, but they "think" there will be a terrorist attack in the "Capital" of the country

2)South Africa was given the warning a day before Nigeria was given, the two economic powers of Africa. Desn't that call for suspicions of the US trying to destabilize Africa, instigate wars, sell their weapons, interfere in any country and loot their resources to their satisfaction just as they did to countries in the Middle East for Oil & Gas

The Saffers I've interacted with online say there has been no such attack in the country and they don't expect any so the US should not be taken seriously.

3) The embassy in Abuja was closed down. I can't help but have to think that they are tired of stamping visas for Nigerians to migrate to their country but they are not tired of corrupt leaders keeping and investing Nigerian public funds in their country. If they rejected the corrupt leaders keeping and investing such money in their country and they exposed them to us, we will be grateful and not rush into their country in our thousands.

AskiaHarem:

I’m sorry but I can’t help but notice why does whenever these alleged events take place there is NEVER EVER any carnage evidence via footage or photos before, during, or post the alleged event? There’s not even any confirmed and named documented credible witnesses accounts It’s always just and only word post on the internet like a story book.

Please someone link me to the e… I’m curious.

Pls don't mind this biafran baggers. Don't even bother to reply the likes of them They can do basically anything to make Nigeria look bad. Biafra died since January 15 1970 but they are still after it's realization in 2022 instead of concentrating on 2023 and the future.

My problem with them is the more they keep screaming about it on internet, they are giving the US a reason to come and interfere in our national issues as a country.
It's like they've not learnt anything from the fate of Libya, Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.

That's why I projected 10 years, I don't see how the Nigerian Air Force would get approval for Multi-role fighter jets in the near future.

I don't see any better fighter options available to Nigeria in the next 4 years outside the JF-17, J-10 and F-16.

The Russians are completely out of the market.

So we only have the J-10 and JF-17 as the only viable options really.

Other options we could go for are;
HAL Tejas LCA mk1a
JAS 39 Gripen NG

But I think 12 to 16 units of JF 17 block 3 by 2027 should be the target due to costs

I so much dislike the AH-1Z deal. But it's no use crying over spilt milk now

Even me too, how can we buy attack helicopters from someone and the person will be dictating when, where and how to use it. The same goes for the A29 tucanos.

I for one think the airforce should hand over all it's attack helicopters to the Army while all drones/UAV should be transferred to the possession of the Airforce.
I mean the modern day battlefield is changing. We see how some helicopters are brought down by ManPads in Ukraine. We are also seeing how UCAVs are being used effectively.
So since the Nigerian Army is complaining of lack of timely close air support and that it wants it's aviation wing, it will be just proper if the Airforce transfers it's Mil Mi 35 and AW-109 Power attack helicopter and the incoming ones to the army, while the Army transfers it's UAVs including the new Bayraktars to the airforce

The Army will not have to worry about the helicopters being brought down because I don't think bandits have the much needed anti-aircraft firepower to do so.
While the Airforce will be using UAVs for surveillance and ground attack as it's the new trend in some prominent airforce's in the world.

lionel4power:

The Nigerian Navy does not refer to the Hamilton and P18N as frigates.
The 'F' designation is because they are fighting ships. The Navy calls them OPVs (P18N) and long-range OPVs (Hamilton)

They do call them frigates. You can make a research on them. I passed out from a Nigerian Navy Secondary School and our instructors and officers tells us things like this.

The F on a ship means it's serving as a frigate(even though it's not actually a frigate) e.g the NNS Thunder and Okpabana

The P on a ship means it's serving as a patrol vessel e.g the NNS Oji and Karaduwa

The A on a ship means it's serving as an Auxiliary vessel e.g the NNS Ologbo, NNS Nwamba

I don't think Nigeria have a frigate; maybe I'm mal-informed, What's d difference between lst and lhd, aren't they both amphibious assault ships?... What makes one better than the other?

Actually the Nigerian Navy has no frigates for now. The NNS Aradu is grounded but it refers to the Hamilton class cutters and P18N Corvettes as Frigates because of their big size hence the reason why they have pennant numbers like F90, F91, F92 and F93.

There is a difference between LSTs, LHDs and Amphibious assault ships

LSTs are amphibious landing ships that can carry at most a Max. of 300 troops and 30+ vehicles and they can also carry 1 helicopter and a drone depending on the size of the landing helipad and the hangar. They also possess a front bow ramp and they are lightly armed with 12.7mm guns or 30mm RCWS for close quarter combat. They can weigh 1000 tons or more Examples are Damen LST 100, LST 120

LHDs are bigger amphibious vessels that can carry up to 3,4,5... to 20 or more helicopters and they can carry a Max of 800+ troops. They don't possess a front bow ramp, instead it's from the back and they can be armed with short range SAM and CIWS guns for self defense. They can weigh 30,000 tons or more but in Algeria's case, their San Giorgio LHD weighs 8,000 tons. Examples are China's Type 75 LHD, France's Mistral class LHD.

Then Amphibious Assault ships or Landing Platform Docks are ships bigger than LSTs but smaller than LHDs. They can carry a Max of 700+ troops and they are armed with 76mm naval guns, 40mm guns and 12.7mm guns. Their 76mm guns or 40mm can be used for naval fire support. They can weigh from 12,000 tons to 20,000 tons and also don't possess front bow ramps. It is also from the back for them. Examples are the US San Antonio LPDs, China's Type 71 LPD

For better understanding;

Pic 2-LHD
Pic 3- LPD or AAS

Maybe not LHDs but the Nigerian Navy needs more than just LSTs. It needs to level up from depending on frigates as it's flagship. Maybe the "Low cost type 31 amphibious assault ship" will do or better still the "Tarlac amphibious assault ship" of the Philippine Navy

Lol. Me and you we are friends, you sell oil to me, I sell weapons and assist you economically. I ask you for additional help, you refuse. Then I consider scaling down my assistance too. Other self appointed judges who keep me rent free on their heads jump into what isn't their business and accuse me of being a bully.

FYI, the same country Turkey made an open threat to invade Greece, a fellow NATO ally weeks back. Turkey promised to stop Sweden and Finland from joining NATO until they clarified their relationship with the Kurds. Other countries freely reciprocate actions. But when it is America, she gets accused of being a bully and a hypocrite. If Ghana were to enact policies today that hurt Nigeria, Nigeria will quickly retaliate as much as they can. Replace it with the US and everybody begins to complain. Who then are the real hypocrites here?

Many countries are unnecessarily intimidated by America's power and this makes them act irrationally at times. What is normal for other countries to do becomes abnormal if the US tries it.

Chaaii, see as this comrade rush slot in Nigeria into the equation as an example grin

I got very confused when I read your post

You got me entirely wrong

I was not talking about the shahed drone

I was using the meme whose subject was the shahed drone as a example to illustrate the fragility of the so called ' truth '

UK , ukr.... , russ.... , Iran, had their own truth regarding the no of of drones etc

My point was whose 'truth ' is the ' truth ' ?

I think I will go with the version where Iran says it didn't sell drones to rus..

You really believe Iran did not sell those drones to Russia grin

Although some Iranians that I've interacted with online claim that they were given to Russia for testing and that another bigger, badder wolf is on its way for testing too

Are they even using the tb2 again; didn't an Ukrainian top official say that it was just hype and little effectiveness. I feel the game changer for Ukraine was the himars

Was it not the same Ukraine who hyped the effectiveness of it because it was used to drop bombs on Russian units?
The same Bayraktar that the Ukrainans praised because it was used to sink some Russian Navy ships?
They even made a hi pop song about the Bayraktar and titled it "Bayraktar". Only God knows if they are still expecting a Grammy award for it grin

About the HIMARS, we don't even hear about them anymore and I don't think they can shoot down the Shaehd drones but the Shaehd drones can Kamikaze them grin

What is 'the truth' of shahed drone ?

Make your choice

On a serious note hope you now appreciate the fragility of 'the truth' (of any truth)

Honestly I thought I was the only one who noticed the game changing effectiveness of the Shahed drones. Thank God you guys are available for me.

Seriously those Kamikaze drones have been trending for the past 48 hours. Upon all the air defence systems that were promised by the US, France and Germany, those Iranian drones look un-interceptable. They are small, easily maneuverable and fast. In just 8 days they've knocked out 30% percent of Ukraine's power grid. Just imagine what they can do if they were used to sustain attacks for a full month.

Iran's military industrial complex really performed wonders with the manufacture of the drone despite US sanctions and Western arms embargo. But you are right about how a solution will be found to solve the little menace. Till then we enjoy the movie of Russia, Ukraine and NATO

Nobody is even talking about Bayraktar anymore, we have a new, cute little heavyweight champion of combat drones embarassed

Do you also have any info on the development of the locally made NASENI helicopter for the military?

Attention,any forumers currently based in Western Europe.

Autumn is here. Within a month it'll be averaging 5 degrees celsius and real winter follows in Dec as you know with occasional 0 or even as low as -5 degrees celsius.
The Western leaders have shown their true loyalty to the architects of the J/Uke mess by advising their citizens to collect firewood.

Whether a single fireplace can heat a 3 bedroomed flat is ofc another story but things may turn biblical-already the Swiss,Germans and Dutch leaders are advising on limiting showers. The inevitable consequences are terrifying- faced with freezing citizens who they already don't give a rat EFF about your survival as a black foreigner may be definitely problematic.
Pls,organise a contingency plan now! When and if the freeze happens Dutch,Belgian,Swiss and German citizens abandoned by their respective governments will ofc be concerned primarily with their own people. Idk if it'll be a purge;it may very well be- I only know if this path continues there may well be a real life W European Ice Age.

Well this is one of the repercussions of listening to and allowing The United Sanctions of WARmerica to have an influence on your political actions and decisions. The wise ones among the Europeans have booked their stay throughout winter in Turkey, but the unlucky ones will have to bear the brunt of being puppeteered.

If care is not taken, we might witness riots and violent protests in Europe during this winter due to living in unfavorable conditions of Cold coupled with the already existing cost of living crisis, Inflation crisis and energy crisis.

They don't control anywhere again in Nigeria. They've been dispersed into petty bandits of 10 to 20 members that just carry out hit and run operations on key Infrastructures like Prisons, railway stations, Institutes of learning and so on. But no qualms though, with the influx of drones into the Nigerian military the miscreants will be history.
