Well, as earlier stated "its all in the mind" If a person believes they cant, then they will never, but if they believe its possible, then the rest is logistics. Note, for starters, I mentioned to replicate, i.e reverse engineering, not so long ago, some so called Nigerians were laughing at her attempts to develop MRAPs but I think we can all agree that we have a number of companies doing that now, DICON included.
The most difficult part of a jet aircraft is the engine, this can be sourced off-shelf, avionics sourced off-shelf what's left?
precision machining aluminum and steel to form the body can definitely be done in-house
hydraulic pipe bending, wiring, can also be done in-house,
hydraulic pipes for actuators, stabilizer motors, motor pumps, brake valves can also be done in-house, motors and pumps and be sources off-shelf
the point is to show that its possible. If engineers are already capable of overhauling, its not a great leap to reverse engineering. fact.

This is an intelligent output.

Thank you.

lionel4power:
Because dicon built mraps now you think they can build combat jets??


Wawu!!

It all starts with belief.

Nobody believed in 2015 that Nigeria would become a net exporter of MRAPs.

If Pakistan, Serbia can build fighter jets, Nigeria will also be able to do so.

New Nigerian navy Ship

jl115:
she is a hydrographic vessel EOD!! Nothing else...

Accordingly, he revealed that the new vessel would not only enhance safety of Nigeria’s maritime environment but would also serve as a critical component of deployment of naval power for enhanced maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea.

He added that the vessel would also “ play a critical role in protection of maritime resources and preservation of law and order at sea, thereby contributing significantly to the promotion of global maritime commerce”.

SDB3 will be a good platform for the development of future home made missile boats.

I agree with this. The other thing is, for very big ships which might be built in the future, how would they go about it?


The large dry dock is often always occupied for big vessel maintenance works. The Dockyard only has one of such docks.

As can be seen from this bird's eye photo, the twin docks would not be able to build a ship larger than 50 meters at most.

The only other option would be building on the floor like the barges or borrowing the floating dock from Nimasa.

Unlike the other 1st two versions , there will be no linking side walk in this one.... To get from one side to the other u must go through the door from what I can see...

Modern design, unlike what we have with Karaduwa.

She is more of a multipurpose ship than a strictly speaking survey ship.

Also made in Nigeria.

NNS Karaduwa routinely engages in multinational exercises with foreign navy ships, and last year, she sailed to Ghana for Ghana navy's 60th anniversary celebration.

NNS Andoni

NNS Andoni can sail to 50 nautical miles despite been an SDB. That's 92.6 kilometers out to sea.


That's really impressive.

From photos and models seen so far, SDB3 would look close to, or like this ship from the French navy.

This one is 50 meters in length while SDB3 is 45 meters.
