davefurn: Confirmation pls ? This was an unverfied Janes report made 5 or 6 years ago. At that time janes defence was quoting an unknown source saying Nigeria has a requirement, not a statement of purchase or a confirmed order of between 24 - 40 JF-17 aircrafts. |

jln115: Looks like you are struggling to comprehend what I'm saying..... I said Denel isn't the South African arms industry, we have dozens of private arms manufacturers that manufacture drones, airplanes, rifles, MRAPs, IFVs ect ect ect.
Denel hasn't been failing to deliver orders left right and centre as you claim, the only failed delivery was a lose making corrupt deal wrt the 40 Caspirs they would've delivered to Chad.
Also the none delivery of the T5 is not Denel but because of an agreement not being reached between Denel and the Sandf
Lastly source for the bolded please  The deal to supply Egypt with missiles went where? Brazil left the A-darter programme. Chad deal for MRAPs thrown out the window. Denel is the largest and most important arms manufacturer in SA, the others don't really matter. Paramount group just sells MRAPs. The only other IFV available in RSA is made by paramount, they have not sold any. Milkor only really sells hand held grenade launchers. Truvelo sells snipers. That's about the SA defence industry in a nutshell. It doesn't provide any strategic importance to a country like Nigeria. |

jln115: As I said before, our arms industry isn't Denel alone. Weapon sales in 2019 was the highest its been since 2012, and Top 20 in the world.................hardly on life support now is it .
What SA exports that Nigeria doesn't make: Missiles, Armed Drones, Attack Helicopters, C4ISR Systems, Grenade Launchers, Howitzers, IFVs ect ect ect
According to Eeben Barlow the REVA mraps preform tremendously well, Its your Big foot mraps from China that didn't do so well 
And almost all our latest exports are done with ToT. The funny thing is the Bigfoot is still in service, while the Reva's are all kept in the bone yards. Most of the items you listed above are manufactured by Denel. Denel cannot fulfill orders, and have been losing contracts left right and center. In fact the CEO recently resigned his position, just like the previous CEO. "Denel could not deliver a paltry 6 units of T-5 artilleries to the SANDF, how would they now be able to deliver to Nigeria?". |

jln115: its 12 operational with 11 in service and 1 with Denels test and development centre .........Also no parts are imported they all are manufactured by Denel.
"Rooivalk Attack Helicopter (AH-2A) is a Denel product. Denel Aeronautics a subsidiary of the Denel is the Design Authority and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) " So you did lose a Rooivalk in accident? Most of the helicopter parts are imported from Europe. Yes Denel is the OEM of the Rooivalk, not the OEM of the parts and components used in manufacturing the Rooivalk. |

kenpaul0: A partnership with SA would do Nigeria (And Africa) a whole lot of good. If i was President i would pursue for this....Even their attack chopper i would offer partnership with them They only have 9 attack choppers in active service. Even with those Choppers you still are stuck with the Turkish problem. Parts are almost all imported from Europe. It's just best you buy directly from Europe. |

jln115: never deliver?? Out defence industry isn't Denel alone bru we ain't in the top 20 arms exporters because of Denel alone....
I mean we never deliver but your soldiers are driving around in Reva MRAPs and near brand new Maruaders? Your defence industry is currently on life support, and you know this.  Most of what is produced by other manufacturers in RSA are mostly MRAPs, there are already 5 different types of MRAPs produced in Nigeria and 3 types are in service. It's hard to say what strategic gain Nigeria would get from importing South-African arms. The Reva MRAPs bought in 2015 are all sitting in a bone yard. With South-African arms, No Transfer of Technology, No Bueno!! |

Daverytimes: Am glad we are finally purchasing in quantity military gear, however, there does seem to be a creeping dependence on Chinese weaponry that i am not comfortable with. Before it becomes too late we need to diversify, get from the Russians, and the Turks. Standardization is a good thing when you produce your own weapons, it is a hindrance when all your gear is produced by another nation. The problem of purchasing Russian weaponry in this trump administration is that Nigeria might fall victim to CAATSA sanctions. This is the reason we have not received our 7 remaining MI-35M helicopters. We can only realistically purchase top of the line Russian weaponry if we get guarantees from the US that we would not be sanctioned. Turkish weapons, Turkish drones are filled with imported Western components. Intact Canada has stopped exporting parts for Turkish drones, Turkey cannot deliver T-129 helicopters to Pakistan because of sanctions, it remains to be seen if Turkey can deliver Milgem Corvettes to Pakistan. This leaves us with just a few options to buy from, China remains are best source for high quality weapons. That's the reason why it's a good thing that Nigeria is investing in local production of weapons. |

Toju200: the SDB 3 was in last year budget. Also The ARA or Ezugwu MRAP might be listed as the "A" or "B" vehicles I did not see SDB 3 in 2020 budget though. |

Jimi24: The capital items in the 2021 budget are separate from them and will come differently. I don't understand this part correctly. Are you saying the capital items are not listed in this 2021 budget and are in a separate 2021 budget? The items I listed above were not mentioned in the 2020 budget, nor in the 2019 budget. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by kabe1: 10:11pm On Oct 08, 2020 |
Looking at the defence budget, you'll be confused, but it seems procurement listed on Nigeria's defence budget is usually different from actual procurement.
For example the VT-4 Tank, SH-5 artillery, ST-1, CH-4 UCAVs, ARA MRAP, Ezugwu MRAP, K-152 and MI-17s are not listed in the Defence budget. SDB3 is also not listed in the Defence budget, but Nigeria is getting them.
The budget, especially on the project side might seem empty, but it more like a mirage than anything else.

We having been paying for 3 x JF-17s for a long time now.
3 x JF-17 also budgeted for in the 2021 budget, yet all 3 JF-17s should be delivered to Nigeria this November.
I think this means that Nigeria is getting more than 3 units of JF-17 from Pakistan.

Toju200: The PD-1 UAS NAF is Acquiring also will be for what? To train drone pilot if yes ok.. But tsaigumi UAV will be the best option if they are going to use it strictly for ISR. Also NN to receive 3 AW109 is this aside the one for deep blue or..? The 3 additional helicopters would be different from the 3 the Navy is getting from Nimasa. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by kabe1: 9:52pm On Oct 08, 2020 |
Procurement for the Nigerian navy.
We are getting another Hydrographic vessel, a smaller 32 meters vessel.
We would also get 3 additional A-109 helicopters for the navy.
Also some Aresa boats.
