As much as the Super Tucano, Nigeria badly needs the MI-35M.

If we don't currently have enough pilots we can use hired pilots in the interim, while we build up our capacity.

JOSCOFELIX:
information reaching us, is that Nigeria airforce is moving some air fleet from makurdi to borno and yola for more offensive mood. heavy equipment will soon have their journey to Nigeria. this war must end.

How come, there are currently no offensive assets in Makurdi, the F-7s are in China, the only offensive assets assets not in the theater are in Kainji, Niger state, Port-harcourt & L-39 in Sokoto & Kano.

Xbee007:
If you look at these pictures closely, you could actually see the dead terrorists inside the vehicle.

In the first, the burnt driver ribs can be seen. In the second, the burnt occupant in the back seat skull and radius and ulna can be seen.

So satisfying!!!

lebuhsi:
From what can understand, it seems like the NA were aware of the presence in the vicinity, they tricked them they came closer while an ambush was waiting for them, then NAF did the rest

It was a well planned ambushed, according to the reports, NA sent a couple soldiers to act as bait and draw in fire. Once contact was established, NA & NAF went BOOM!!!

AGAIN TROOPS NEUTRALISE BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS IN MARTE AXIS, DESTROY 7 GUN TRUCKS, RECOVER ARMS

Troops of Operation TURA TAKAIBANGO in conjunction with the Air Task Force Operation LAFIYA DOLE have effectively destroyed 7 Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists' gun trucks and decimated several unconfirmed number of the terrorists when they attempted to attack their location at the outskirts of Marte in Marte Local Government Area of Borno State.

The troops are still engaged in pursuit of the fleeing terrorists for further exploitation. Further details of interest to members of the public will be communicated later.

jln115:
agree 100% Nigerian armoured vehicles in terms of quality are at an international level these days.... No need to import when you can make the same quality of vehicles(if not better) in Nigeria

Seems like an odd purchase.

Toju200:
perhaps these vehicles are likely donated by UAE...

I doubt it. It's a private company in the UAE.

Stephandesward:
No igp to miscue this year?

You were wrong.

Look at the legs of the Chief of Army, Chief of Navy and Chief of Air force while they were marching!!


........ Then take a look at our police miscuing at the back!!

Naval shipbuilding, Nigeria

Yesterday (January 15th) was Nigerian armed forces remembrance day.


My thoughts!!


Nigerians love the Nigerian armed forces!!

Despite the rocky relationship that Nigerians have had with their military from 1960 to this present day, yesterday's remembrance day showed an overwhelming amount of Nigerians love the military.

The gratitude, wishes and prayers poured on the military yesterday was beyond belief, irrespective of previous fractures and disagreements, the populace had the military, chief amongst them been the recent #endsars protest, Nigerians put aside any feeling of animosity to remember our fallen heroes.

Especially in the more educated, and developed Southern part of Nigeria. A lot of people went on social media to wish the military well.

In fact the likes of Retd Brigadier SK Usman openly shed tears on live TV.


I think most Nigerians want to see the military succeed, most Nigerians also appreciate the sacrifices of our heroes past. Nigerians irrespective of political, tribal and religious affiliations are proud of the military, and their achievements.

This is one of the reasons why I think the new Eagle Wings movie would be a box office success in Nigeria.

The living owe it to those who can no longer speak to tell they story for them.

On behalf of everyone in this thread, I wish the Nigerian armed forces a happy remembrance day!!

Nigerian made Proforce ARA 2 in combat

mekussa:
Personally not happy with this purchase.
Even if it's ONLY ARA and EZUGWU that are made in country, I would rather all vehicles of this category be sourced here.
When you consider that the cost of the vehicle and the shipping might be more than that of home made vehicles, you wonder.

However, anything that reduces the number of soldiers that will be lost to soft skins is welcome

I don't like this vehicle, I don't think it's a wise purchase, especially considering it's just a Light Armoured Vehicle, we could have sourced locally.

The Army should have gone for the ARA and Ezugwu class vehicles. I really don't see the advantage this vehicle provides over what we have in Nigeria.

If we say cost, the fact that Nigerians are building in Nigeria, forex saving, jobs provided and technical expertise should ordinarily cover for a cheaper cost of this vehicle.

For LAV, there is this.

Nigerian Army fields Isotrex armoured vehicles


The Nigerian Army is now using Isotrex Phantom 2 armoured personnel carriers (APCs), images released on Nigerian social media have revealed.

As the nation commemorates its 2021 Armed Forces Remembrance Day, many citizens and supporters of the Nigerian Military all over the world have taken to social media to show solidarity and support.

Iran has a large well equipped indigenously built military.

There are other projects of the Nigerian Navy waiting to be inspected in Germany, South Africa, UK & US, so who knows what is expected.

https://m.facebook.com/Gagdi40/posts/690488161533443

South-Africa would be Rhib, UK & US would be situational awareness equipment, although I'm surprised about the US.

Germany, I don't know.

Although I read a Thisday report stating we were expecting a new OPV.

Toju200:
Also 14 drones

I think some of the ones recently purchased by NIMASA were included.
