Truly our Tank Bns will be the most elated. All these years of managing scraps! One question I now have is; The T72s and the knowledge we've gained from it —operations and maintenance. E don wash down drain?
I don't think we need up to 100 units of the ST1s, just enough numbers to escort the Tanks. My real concern is for the MRAPs! We need them with RWS on a good number of them.


If only the could mate 60mm mortar tubes to these trucks...

There are still a number of T-72s and Vickers Tanks in service, they would complement the VT-4s I think.

I just hope the army can push ahead with a total replacement of Tanks. 177 units in all would be nice.

We can have ARA MRAPs in 60mm mortar configurations.

In the light tank/tank destroyer category we need to replace the scorpion and ERC-90 Sagie. I think 100 vehicles would be just fine.

I agree, we need lots of MRAPs. A lot of them.

jpphilips:
Since the US strategy was fatally flawed according to you, why are the Talibans willing to negotiate even after the US asked them to go fvck themselves twice?
I hope you understand what winning means right?

Go and ask the Washington post. This ship has sailed a long time ago.

jpphilips:
Why are the Talibans willing to negotiate with a weak enemy with fatally flawed strategy?

Go and discuss with Americans.

jpphilips:
What is the objective that needs to be won in Afghanistan?
I want to start from the elementary before it gets complex

This ship has since sailed.

jpphilips:
So in a 19yrs conflict based on your figures BTW, 0.3% KIA and 2.3% WIA means failure, defeat & fatally flawed strategy?
What a logic!!

Bros, this ship has since sailed.

You have to paint with the same pattern now, it is standard military practice.

This government continues to support the local manufacturing of military vehicles.

The is a formidable tank in it's class, but comparing it to Armata is blasphemy, some of us know we are getting Chinese thanks long ago when guys where pick to go for various training in China

Man, it's not an Armata T-14 Tank but it is currently one of the best in the world.

This is a netcentric Tank. One Tank can see a target, then send that information to a second tank that is another location to engage it.

AskiaHarem:
I was exclusively talking about Main Battle Tanks . Nigeria fields t-72s t-55s, Vickers, and AMX 30s. All of those where designed pre 2000s. Im not saying there absolete im just happy to see something NEW being bought.

I am supporting your initial comment.

AskiaHarem:
Modern Russia isn't all its hyped up to be no disrespect. There pretty much forcing everything they can without collapsing the whole system into there military budget. Russia can't afford to mass produce the majority of there new warmachines. T-14 Armata, Mig35, Su 57 ALL IN LIMBO with no end in sight. If Nigeria where to order any of these they probably wouldn't arrive until the 2030s. Im just glad Nigeria finally gets to have a 21 Century developed tank.

We now have 21st century Tanks and Tank Destroyers, including artillery.

We also make very modern APCs.

Whyem15:
I just hope we got them in reasonable quantities and with other perks. Saw an article dated 2019 on army recognition about the army getting about 35 tanks.

That's the main thing. I hope we bought enough.

We need a minimum of 50 VT-4 Tanks.

Maybe 100 ST1 8x8 vehicles.

500 units of Proforce ARA and Ezugwu MRAP APC.

Whyem15:
If we had ordered the armata, they won't be arriving anytime soon, the russians themselves haven't purchased much of it. Now I'm a fan of the armata but I'm pleased with this VT4 as the difference isn't that much

The main battle Tank fleet of the Russian army is the T-72B3. Not the T-90 , and not the Armata T-14 Tank.

In cold weather parts of Russia, the Russian army fields more of the T-80 tank.

The T-14 is a beast but they are not currently for sale, and also not in significant numbers to make any difference.

Habane:
Are you seriously comparing the Russian Armata with Chinko VT4?

My brother, this Tank won against the T-90 man.

Nigerian army got a really sweet Tank here.

rka2:
They did say last year that a lot of equipment had been ordered, but people chose to ignore it and were cynical as per usual

The usual cynical people we have been pounding on this thread these past few days.

If it were up to me, they would not share in this joy.

I will ship all of them to Chad.

VT4 Main Battle Tank is one of the world's best and most modern Battle Tank.

This Tank won against the T-90s from Russia and M1 Abrams Tank in the Thailand army main battle tank tender.

This is a real beast.

Nigerian army also took delivery of this state of the art tank destroyer.

These would replace our ERC-90 Sagie Tank destroyer.

Nigeria just got this Tank.

The VT-4 is one of the world's best and most modern Main Battle Tank.
