Procurement plans and real life are two different things...... The JF17 saga is case and point.

So far we know the LST is coming but there is no mention of any purchase of the other vessels

Navy helicopter and SDB 3 is part of the purchase plan.

The JF-17 is note a case in point as a budget was only made for it in 2017.

You've just contradicted yourself, son!

How did I contradict myself?

SuperSixSeven:
You are beyond help, brother.

Do you know what a corporation is at all?

DICON is headed by an individual from the army but it comprises of purely civilian staff. Shedrach Agbo the lead designer of the Ezugwu mrap is a civilian, his entire staff are civilians.

DICON is similar to PAC, POF and HIT in Pakistan, the producers of the JF-17 and Super Mushak.

It is a state run agency similar to Nexter in France, UAC, Kalashnikov concern in Russia, and CATIC in China.

You are hopelessly uneducated.

SuperSixSeven:
We have far more capable local defence companies like Proforce.





You my friend talk without knowledge. Major General Victor Okwudili Ezugwu himself is the head of DICON. DICON is operated by the Nigerian Armed Forces.

Please read and educate yourself.

DICON is the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria.

Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON) is the state-run defense corporation of Nigeria and operated by the Nigerian Armed Forces. It is responsible for the production of defense equipment and civilian products.

SuperSixSeven:
But he is not wrong at all, no army on this planet attempts to build its own weapons - thats simply not their job.

You talk without thinking.

Is DICON the Nigerian army?

The Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria was established by an Act of Parliament in 1964.

The war against insurgents could drag on in Nigeria if current fighting strategy is not reviewed and improved upon.

I think the Super Camp strategy is working in Nigeria. At least we no longer hear isolated FOBs been overrun.

I think we need to properly equip our army with MRAP APCs, IFVs, Artillery, Reconnaissance, logistics and medical evacuation.

I don't think the army needs an aviation unit.

What I think is, the leadership of the war in the Northeast should not be led solely by the Nigerian army. It should be rotated between the army and air force. This would help streamline decision making.

An example is, the air force is currently running an independent air campaign, there should always be ground troops responding with artillery systems and carrying out mop up operations as the air campaign is ongoing in each sector.

We need to have fire force units, which are quick response comprised of the army, navy and air force.

We need to kill Shekau, All barnawi and Mamman Nur. After this, the leaders who would take over might be willing to negotiate.

America with all the weapons, yet no progress. 700 billion dollars in defence spending, I heard CIA get like 200 billion dollars also.

Yet, they have been fighting for 18 years.

Have u guys seen this?

This has to be a joke, any other source?

Please watch this.

America's war in Afghanistan has been exposed to be a total failure. This is after 18 years of fighting.

I am tired of seeing it.

Take a hike.

Ezugwu MRAP

A day without Ezugwu is like a day without sunshine.

Perhaps the most important made in Nigeria military equipment.

Made in Nigeria mine clearing/roller with automatic and mechanical modes.

Ezugwu MRAP APC

Made in Nigeria

Made in Nigeria field kitchen with independent power source.

Turkish Bayraktar TB2 UAV shot down in Libya.

Completely destroyed Turkish MRAP in Libya

jln115:
He did not ask when a helicopter would be built in Nigeria....... Go back and read the discussion again.

I know for a fact Nigeria is still very very far of from producing any commercial helicopter let alone an attack helicopter. But that was not the question that was asked.

The discussion trail is from your response to Nigeria building a tank, not helicopter.

jln115:
What might be stupid to you, might not be stupid to others.

Like when I asked questions on Mechanical engineering to my sister who has an honours degree in that field it might seem stupid to her but for the majority of us who know nothing about the subject it's not stupid.

Same thing when she asks me for, business,accounting or Investment advice.

Bros it is not the same thing. That dude has been posting here for years like you claim.

Toju200:
Ok let it end here let the rift end now.
Bottom line we should ask stupid questions and Kabe1 pls don't insult anyone again.
Alright back to pics posting

And how many pics have you posted?

jln115:
I wasn't talking about the helicopter....... Go back and read!

Bros, the helicopter question middlemission asked you was a very dumb question.

I don't know what cage armour is.

I don't know what a Gopro camera is.

I don't know what Supacat vehicle is and his it us used.

I asked, they are not widely used in Nigeria.

Somebody asking you when a helicopter would be built in Nigeria, a question nobody in Nigeria has an answer to is dumb.

To even see that he has been following this thread for years, makes it all the more worse.

He has simply learnt nothing.

It is like asking a Nigerian when would a submarine be built in South-Africa. It's a dumb question, and that's the fact.

jln115:
There are no stupid questions @MiddleDimension and @kabe1

Other wise by definition these below are stupid questions as well:


Thinks LST and LPD are the same:



Doesn't know what caged armour is..... Thinks its a net:


Doesn't know what a helmet mount is or what it's used for.... P. S it not for mounting goPros


Doesn't know what a recce vehicle is:



So I suggest before insulting someone asking a relevant question just remember you also don't know everything.

These are general questions and not country specific.

Asking a foreigner when a helicopter would be built in your home country is a dumb question.

Whether you like it or not.

jln115:
I can just about guarantee I know more about the Nigerian defence industry than you do!

That's nonsense and you know it. Nobody knows how soon, more especially a foreigner.

Toju200:
Guy I've been noticing one thing with u. u're too insultive and abusive.why? Can't you approach MiddleDimension without insulting

...because he routinely asks dumb questions.

Toju200:
the guy asked a rhetorical question.You should be the one to use ur brain.. also I hope you've seen my proof about the proforce attack helo stuff

Nigga, do you know what a rhetorical question is?

MiddleDimension:
you really see that happening? like how long?

You ask dumb questions.

How would he know? Has he ever been to Nigeria, does he work in Nigeria's defence industry?

Bros think with your brain abeg.

Jeez!!!!

After the Air Force is done bombing boko-haram with Alpha Jet, L-39za, MI-35p and ISR.

Army should be one side shooting self propelled 105mn artillery with a range of 19.5km at the insurgents.

10 of these made in Nigeria artillery should do the job.

Then withdraw quickly.
