Algerian1:


fake news as always from morrocan medias , Russia will never give its strategic S-400 to a country like morocco , Us expert will be
disassembling it the day after delivry

I once read about rivalry between Algerians and Moroccans but I didn't take seriously, but from how you vehemently refute the claim of s400, I should have taken it seriously, good thing there's no Moroccan here or the occasional melt downs would have been twice as worst...

Saw this picture today, don't know if it's accurate or photoshoped...

jakeporeshenko:
This NAF procurement says "New" and not "ongoing", I think the plan is to pay for 3 every year.

Thirteen billion plus for three units?

What's the use of ONE drone and ONE seaward defence boat, if there's not enough money, why not concentrate on one this year then the other next year? and as if that's not frustrating enough, DSS are getting THREE, THREE different rifles: CTAR, TAR AND X95, why not just use one uniformly? Nigerian mentality nawaooo.

Looks NN will have the highest number of New toys according to the budget:
2 LST
A hydro survey ship
1 x 38m seaward defence boat
3 x 24m ocea boats
50 flat bottom boats
1 UAV
4 whaler boat
2 tug boat
8 x 17m inshore patrol craft
20 RHIBs for SBS.

OFF TOPIC:
The FPSO Egina has departed the Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) shipyard in Geoje, South Korea, and is in transit to Nigeria for topsides module integration and commissioning.
The voyage is estimated to take three months.
In 2013, SHI won the $3-billion contract for the turn-key project in which Samsung covered engineering, procurement, construction, transport, and commissioning.
The FPSO is 330 m (1,083 ft) in length, 61 m (200 ft) across, and 34 m (112 ft) high, with a storage capacity of 2.3 MMbbl of oil and topsides weighing 60,000 tons.
The vessel is to be installed at the Total-operated Egina oil field in 1,750 m (5,741 ft) of water, 130 km (81 mi) offshore.
The Egina FPSO project is under the Nigerian local content regulations, and a portion of the topsides fabrication and integration is to be completed in Nigeria. Scheduled delivery is expected in the second half of 2018.
SHI formed a joint venture (SHI-MCI) with a Nigerian local company and established a production facility in Lagos, Nigeria, to meet the local content requirements. The 120,000-sq m (1.3 million-sq ft) yard has construction and painting facilities as well as a 500-m (1,640-ft) long quay.
SHI-MCI has constructed topsides modules for Egina since June 2015
