I so much hate the way he behaves and spreads misinformation

He said Nigeria and US held the meeting last week on Counter insurgency because they've seen us Acquire the VT4 tanks and. Drones..
I was like wtf how does it affect them

He has a serious mental issue and needs help to tackle it.

Xbee007:
But Nigerian Air Force follows him on Twitter. Why follow a paranoid person of questionable character?

It doesn't really mean acknowledgement. I can follow you for a number of reasons.

Defence Headquarters Disclaimer on the activities of Defense News Nigeria (SSBN)

This is the second time Nigerian Defence Headquarters has released a disclaimer on his activities on twitter.

He was chased away from Nairaland for always publishing false content.


Be Warned, do not read, post or redistribute any of his fallacies!!!

Nigerian Air Force has also acknowledged this tweet!!!

Aradu (F-89)
but archive photos, since he should already do sea trials after repairs

Repairs have been completed, I don't know if sea trials have been done also.

This is not funny
He only said "camdan" he never said who the person was ?
Which I still doubts if he knows the person ?

Bro, he was joking with you.

Camdan means calm down.

People use camdan when they want to make jokes.

Odunayaw:
but I did

I think Bidexiii has dyslexia. Nothing to laugh about, in the future please go straight to the point.

Some people here seem to think that Denel is the only arms manufacturer in South Africa, or that we make and sell only armoured vehicles.
So that we discuss from an informed basis, I'm posting info on non-vehicle arms exports from RSA, starting with 2016.

The reports can be downloaded from sipri, under databases and then national reports.

Dominos sells ice-cream, but we all know and recognise it as a Pizza shop.

Looks expensive......

According to Wikipedia, 50 million dollars. It's not expensive.

A good day indeed. I have been in Dreamland.

I agree about Corvettes and Frigates next. Imagine where we would be if there was this momentum 15 or so years ago when we had the dollars?

If we had made serious investment during Yar'adua, Jonathan era, we would have passed this stage by now.

Although we bought 5 UCAVs and 6 ships during Jonathan's era. 2 new and 4 second hand.

Nigeria should really consider the KC-390 for the replacement of our C-130s.

Very modern aircraft.

QuietMynd:
Expect ssbn to post these photos on his Twitter handle with authority.
U will think he snap the photo by himself.

Dude is hilarious.

He said he has it on authority that Nigeria has ordered 25 JF-17 Block 3 and 8 JF-17B........ I'm like WTF!!!

Guy!!

Good news keeps coming. Already arrived Nigeria:


Departure of two OCEA ships for Nigeria

October 2020 

After the delivery to the Nigerian Navy over 8 years of one OCEA FPB 98 MKI, eight OCEA FPB 72 MKII and two OCEA FPB 110 MKII, OCEA won three tenders for two additional OCEA FPB 110, one OCEA OSV 190 SC-WB and four OCEA C-FALCON Interceptors.

 

The Nigerian Navy will soon take delivery of two new ships designed and built by OCEA shipyard: the FPB110 - P193 - NNS SOKOTO and the C-Falcon 2 - P272. The two ships were loaded on cargo in La Rochelle on 26th October 2020 and will be delivered in Lagos in November.

 

Four additional vessels will also leave OCEA shipyard in early December for delivery to Nigeria. Thanks to the continuous Integrated Logistics Support that OCEA has put in place for the Nigerian Navy, the fleet of boats built by OCEA is and will remain in operation on a daily basis to the complete satisfaction of the customer.

This is fantastic news. We've built up a large fleet of patrol vessels and ships, after the delivery of the final OPV for the Nigerian navy, we should look towards acquiring proper fighting ships.

At minimum, 2 Corvettes and 1 Frigate.

Generally a good day for Nigerian defence watchers.

Close to 200 Nigerian Air Force pilots, engrs & techs are undergoing training in 9 different countries as part of efforts to bridge decades of gaps in capability & capacity that have made Nigeria vulnerable to asymmetrical threats.
