Even before the evaluation of the Naira. The South African government had 3 times the budget of the Nigerian federal government. So that roughly translates to 9 times the amount the SA government spends per capita in comparison to Nigeria.

So the Defence budget is $4 billion (which is too small) but remember that we have hundreds of IFVs and hundreds of IPCs to maintain, more helicopters than any SSA military. We have frigates and subs which are not really poor-man's toys, military facilities, and very skilled personnel in especially in Military Health, Engineering (army, airforce and naval) and management.... So don't expect weapons acquisition at that little budget, it's already used up.

Stop saying rubbish?

To make it simpler to him, SA spend $30bn on education every year, which is bigger than the entire nigerian budget. That money alone, south africa only spend it on education.

Congrats, more than Nigerian budget after several devaluation of the Naira.

Besides the fact that you have it on budget doesn't mean you spend it.

South African military budget is over $4 billion but nothing is moving still in you military of less than 40,000 army.
Conclusion, budgeting is different from actually amount spent.

tdayof:
Since details will be out around Nov, then the JF17 won't be around this year right?

No, we are expecting some this year probably after IDEAS. This is more like making things public. Many didn't know we ordered 12 MI35 until about 2 months ago but we will still be getting about 3 this year.

It's November already can't wait to know how many JF17 thunder is coming and what specification.

Jayceon:
and?..

Just racist white afrikaaners paying for their sins,they had it coming,and these slums are not that bad.tar roads everywhere

Where is the road in the pics I posted and who told I don't have more pics of your slums?

The last time I posted pics of your slums here your fellow South Africans ran away and other Nigerians begged me to take down the pics.

You are only pushing me to do it again.

africaken254:
what your telling us is nigeria can't acquire this plane costing $80 million and with a operating cost of $2,000 per hour

Yes Bros Nigeria can acquire more than Six if needed. It seems you don't know Nigeria enough.

Can you interpret that Chinese stuff? Where is Chinese8107?

I will be below religious war enthusiasts in another lifetime as things are now I'm your master

How did you manage to come up with that?

MikeCZA:
I'm kinda iffy whether Thunder and the new P18N vessel should be classified as war fighting vessels rather than patrol vessels such as the South African navy Warrior class strike vessels which have been converted to OPVs.

With limited defensive or offensive capabilities at the conventional warfare level.

Do you have full info on the specification of those vessels? No. People only comment based on what they think it has.

Your warrior class are in the class of NNS Ayam or NNS Ekpe not NNS thunder or P18N.

patches689:
Its just the way the Russians fight.

It works for them, no one can deny Russian firepower - just look at the ammount of MRLS and artillery attached to a division in comparison to a NATO one.

But in terms of precision and efficiency, as well as safety and minimization of collateral damage, no one comes close to the major NATO members.

Libya says a lot.

bidexiii:
Honestly I most commend security agents i:e DSS,military intelligence,NPF and now the NSCDC are now involved in the north eastern fronts bursting BH kingpins, am impressed.

Last week a sleeper cell meant for ISIS recruitment was busted in Kano by DSS. God speed in all our field operations.

I which they would do the same for herdsmen and NDA.

a locally customized ford ranger pick up for the kenyan national police service

There is nothing showing that the vehicle is customised, not even the tire. It just a basic pickup with siren.

it shock me to know dat ur are dis dum,wich wan b unmanned kit.wen we get ch3.
hmmm let me jst keep my kul n jst watch

As the Military pushes into the Sambisa Forest enclave of Boko Haram terrorists’, the Nigerian Air Force said on Tuesday that it has intensified efforts to get its Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) fitted with missile guided weapon systems for combat roles.The Chief of Army Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar made this known on Tuesday at a meeting with the management of the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA).AdvertisementAccording to Abubakar, the Air Force will be leveraging on an existing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with NASRDA to fasts track collaborative measures to improve the air force rocketry and missile propulsion system.

You won't expect the NAF not to improve on their rocket system.

That is rust but it surface level and not a issue. Just a cloth with thinners would do the job. You could just prime it. Over the rust inter prime paint would do the job. But a good wipe down is all ways best. O Interprime is not all ways red it can be grey.


As for why. Well bare metal does that over night.

That's true.

ssaengine:
Exactly...expected comment. Like a little toddler who teases a bird, and quickly runs back behind his parents (Henry240) once the bird starts flapping its wings. Zero reply from you, as expected. i.e waste of data

Dummy u expect me to stay online always like a jobless south Africa abi? You have a serious problem. Go look at my comments and you will observe that It has nothing to do with that of Henry. Hopeless fellow.

Ilovemystate:
Igbos are not interested in your 80% slum city, we are there for business get that into your empty skull, the little infrastructures in Lagos were contributed by all tribes.

Onuku odeko!

can you prove that these picture is from Nigeria. Use your head and mind what you post online.

jln115:
SAAF Capability Demo?? Google it!!

Is battlefield the same thing as demo? Or are you saying terrorist will demonstrate with you pilots? They are inexperience simple.

patches689:
If we have 5 gripen pilots that means at least 5 leave the ground.

Jackass.

5 pilots that have never thrown a bomb in battle field.

5 inexperienced pilots is nothing to boast of.

BankeSmalls:
Nowhere in the world has as much zinc oxide like ibadan, its our natural resources

Those brown roof houses were built in the 50s, 60s and 70s when your people were still leaving in bushes. Go look at newly built up areas in ibadan and you will know you are far behind. Ibadan is a major city by any standard and the state still add more value to Nigerian economy than any south east state.

It is really funny when people compare old built up area in ibadan to the best in south east. It simple means we are far ahead of you.

FlyoruB:
You be proper mumu. Why Phyno and Zoro dey show the ghetto sides of Enugu here:

O boy see brown roof for south east o. E b like say e pass ibadan own sef. Phyno don expose una.

Henry240:
YES & NO.


However we do not have a choice. It would be folly to also say that the fight against the insurgency is in extra-time. With attacks in Tunisia, Algeria, Mali, Ivory Coast, Burkina-Faso, Egypt, Libya, Niger, Chad and Cameroun. Nothing is in extra-time.


We need those Super Tucano air crafts. Our Alpha-Jets are no good, ordinarily they should be transfered to the museum(not a joke), used to create an Air Force Acrobatics Team or sold off to private individuals.


Let them say whatever they want to say, fact we cannot expel is the fact that the A-29 Super Tucano is the world's best COIN aircraft.


The JF-17 is a nice plane, but it isn't a COIN based aircraft. We have roles for the JF-17, Super Tucano and Super Mushak in our air force.


On long haul flights, the JF-17 has to carry 2 fuel drops, with 7 hard-points that leaves us with only 5 hard-points, when we take out the wing-tips which are the exclusive reserve of AAMs, we are left with only 3 hard-points.


The Super Tucano on the other hand is Turbo-prop (far less fuel consumption than a jet engine), dedicated COIN air craft and can provide up to 5 hours of loiter time.

Well analysed

Two internal guns
With endurance of 8 hours.
Can carry wide range of weapons just like many other fighter jet AAM, ASM, PGM, cluster bombs etc.

What else can 1 ask from a low cost fighter dedicated for COIN.

It is actually the best for choice for Nigeria and other African countries currently.

Henry240:
I'd like to add, the JF-17 numbers are probably low because they may be for trial purposes. The JF-17 is an untested Fighter, we would need to see that they meet NAF requirements.

even Pakistan bought helicopters from China for trial purpose.

Foolishness is a curse! OP now go back to the drawing board and rate those countries Minimum wage with our 18,000. Don't know who to blame in your case, your Zombiemsm has no cure again.

Now check the image below and google Non OPEC member minimum wage too...

cc Steadymind

Do you also know that this countries enjoy 24/7 power supply? Compare to our epileptic power here?

What about other infrastructure like Roads, Market, security etc?

Zombie is a disease

All the open members in your pics don't import refined oil. Nigeria is not in the same league.

andrewza:
Loooking at a cost of a arma deal is all ways hard. What they buying iscall ways diffrint and not just a aircraft. Didcthe deal include training, logistics. Maintenance plan extra extra.

Yes, you are right, but we don't have breakdown of the deal and so no 1 knows the exact amount yet.

Yes

Pakistanilad:
What happened to the Nigerian JF17 deal did they cancel it after taking land back from Boko Haram?

Not yet bros.
Budget was passed less than 2 weeks ago and I believe it was included in the budget. Only three was budgeted though because of the zero based budgeting (only the amount that can be received this year is included). Although, if the sanction is lifted we might not buy as much as 24 which was previously planned.

Hungry people.

No

chkil:
i read that 35% of the Gripen is from US component and technology , their is also british technology on it , and the United Kingdom veto-ed a JAS-39 Gripen sale to Argentina , so the United States also has a veto on Gripen sales.

Yes US provide most of the components of gripens jet (about 40% or higher). Even the engines are from US. Britain provide the radar and Italy also provide some components.

giles14:
pls if u don't mind can u list the gripens e/f advantages over d MIG 29M/M2

Lol
Its insignificant compared to the the price.

Brazil is getting gripen E/F for about $120 million each, almost the same price as F35.

patches689:
You cant defeat insurgents if you cannot hit their training and re-supply bases - and the PKK have all their logistical support in Iraq and Syria.

Until the Turks can hit the PKK support networks they will never defeat them.

This is the very reason South Africa would raid Southern Angola.

Gone were those years patches, is just like saying Japan will invade China or south Korea.
