jakeporeshenko: yeah thats the guy ! i honestly wonder what he does for a living, he was also among delegation to the military exhibition in Belarus, apparently a lot of goodies were ordered.
Henry240: What do you think of the recent Proforce LAV photo i posted?
I was comparing it with the Israeli vehicle used by the Senegalese in Mali, and many other African countries. To be frank, it compares very favourably.
In my opinion, the Nigerian army should buy it for Quick Response Forces.
they are great. just hoped that the security apparatus in this country could go for them, so we may have upgrades
oluwatosin400: A disgruntled medical worker dressed in black opened fire and shot at least four people in a Bronx hospital Friday afternoon,police said. Shots rang out on the 16th floor of Bronx Lebanon Hospital in Morris Heights about 2:45 p.m.
He killed a woman and wounded several people before killing himself. The shooter was identified as Dr. Henry Bello, 35. He used an M-16 type rifle. He was listed as a family physician. He is believed to have killed himself after the shooting. NBC reported that he was wearing a white lab coat.
The body of a woman who was shot was found near the body of the dead gunman. Five other people were injured in the shooting. Three of those are in serious condition from gunshot wounds.
sixtuschimere: As shared by Jessica..... 'It was a sad day for the people of Okoni, Uromi Edo State as Fulani herdsmen killed a young innocent young man at the far. This is getting out of hand, and if the government cannot do anything about it, the different communities in Edo should organise themselves and send the herdsmen far away from their place. People are no longer going to farm in our villages because of Fulani herdsmen, some are scared to even sleep in their houses because they don't know what will happen the next minute'.
LTGEN: Let me answer the question without going Political. The reason being in order to manufacture APC and LAVs in Country, the F.G has to set money aside specifically to develop an APC Assembly line.This has just been captured/done in the 2017Budget. Secondly the Military specifically the Army has to come up with a specific prototype (s) as to what kind of APC /LAV they want built. Heavy speculation will fall on DICON, INNOSON (because they already have a relationship with the Army) and an ASSEMBLY line.. Not to be left out will be Street Group who recently delivered 177units
nice try, but my question is why are our security apparatus not sourcing their mobility platforms from light utility from innoson, patrol(LAV APC(from Proforce.
NafeesaAA: The media silence on the killings of the Fulanis in Taraba clearly shows it doesn't matter who dies, as long as it isn't herdsman that kills.
when the Fulani militias went about cleansing communities in kaduna, delta, enugu, plateau, benue, anambra, rivers, edo, oyo, imo, Abia. did you condemn them ?
mafiaso9: I think they need to fix that pothole in your head, is Nnewi the only city in Anambra?All the rich men there can't even contribute money to develop the city and you're waiting for obiano
ols name one project obiano sighted or commissioned in NNEWI.
ObiOmaMu: Sometime last year, Five Star Music Boss, Kcee took to the street of Lagos to hawk recharge cards on a charity project, and met Promise, a ‘shoe – rack‘ hawker from Ebonyi state who he promised to help.
However Promise who has been hawking for over 6 years, was arrested by officials of KAI (Kick Against Indiscipline) and transported to their office in Alausa, Ikeja the following week Kcee and his crew went all out to help him.
He was however released after Kcee and his brother intervened, and also signed an undertaking never to hawk again. Luck shined upon Promise, as he was given a brand new Toyota Corolla car courtesy of E-Money as well as the sum of #300,000 to fuel the car, a new apartment and also a new shoe business was opened for him.
16-months after, Promise is now knocking on E-Money’s and Kcee’s mansion with his mum, to thank the duo for helping him, as it was gathered that he’s now doing well and taking care of his family. His mother who was almost in tears, also thanked the brothers for lending her son a helping hand.
Lockheed signs pact with Tata to make F-16 block 70 planes in India
In announcing their agreement at the Paris Airshow, Lockheed and Tata said moving the production base to India would still retain jobs in the US.
Lockheed Martin signed an agreement with India's Tata Advanced Systems on Monday to produce F-16 fighter planes in India, pressing ahead with a plan to shift its Fort Worth, Texas plant to win billions of dollars worth of order from the Indian military.
India's air force needs hundreds of aircraft to replace its Soviet-era fleet, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has said foreign suppliers would have to make the planes in India with a local partner to help build a domestic industrial base and cut outright imports.
But Mr. Modi's Make-in-India drive runs the risk of conflicting with U.S. President Donald Trump's America First campaign under which he has been pressing for companies to invest in the United States and create jobs instead of setting up factories abroad.
In announcing their agreement at the Paris Airshow, Lockheed and Tata said moving the production base to India would still retain jobs in the United States.
“F-16 production in India supports thousands of Lockheed Martin and F-16 supplier jobs in the U.S., creates new manufacturing jobs in India, and positions Indian industry at the center of the most extensive fighter aircraft supply ecosystem in the world,” a joint statement by the firms said.
Sweden's Saab is the other contender to supply the Indian Air Force, offering to make its Gripen fighter in India. It has not yet announced a local partner for the plane which it has pitched as a modern alternative to the F-16s.
The announcement comes days before Mr. Modi travels to Washington for a first meeting with Mr. Trump, scheduled for June. 26. India and the United States have built a close defence relationship in recent years with Washington emerging as among the top three arms suppliers to India, along with Russia and Israel.
India will also have the chance to export the F-16 that is flown by air forces around the world, the joint statement said. Some 3,200 of these planes are being flown by 26 countries and the model that is being offered to India will be Block 70, the most modern of all the F-16s.
“This unprecedented F-16 production partnership between the worlds largest defense contractor and Indias premier industrial house provides India the opportunity to produce, operate and export F-16 Block 70 aircraft, the newest and most advanced version of the worlds most successful, combat-proven multi-role fighter,” the statement said.
Tata is already building airframe components for the C-130 military transport aircraft.
India has not opened formal bidding for the jet order, which is expected to be anything from 100 planes to 250.

lol dont know what to make of this recent development .
maybe posturing by modi before upcoming US tour
but as far as i am concerned it is a bad deal to buy F16 from US due to various reasons
also gripen e is out of contention due to its dependence on multiple IPRs , with one country refusing to give clearance for their IPR , plus Swedish govt negative stand with respect to Indian NSG entry is another roadblock
Chai Russia just lost a reliable costumer and India lost a reliable ally
