How u doing bro?

Long time no see

Regarding your question
My answer is any tank that carries me through the war safe and sound will be my favourite tank

Perse final effectiveness of a weapon system like a tank in a battlefield is not a inherent factor of that tank, much of its effectiveness depends on extrinsic factors like quality of crew operating it, tactics being run etc

The events in the ongoing wars has proved that OEM lead propaganda is best not taken seriously

And given the no of cheap and varied anti tanks threats which exists today and increasing, the soviet practice of having large no of cheap mass produced and resonably competitive tanks makes sense rather than having few gold plated so called technologically superior tanks

Whenever we address a problem there are multiple ways to see it

What I did just now is give a top level overview, bec it addresses the entire chain, which will actually drive your war effort against a peer adversary, from production to deployment to attrition to replenishment

Long story short, bro I don't have a favourite type but I would prefer indigenous tank - a mix between the capabilities of T series and Western analogues, and importantly with the entire chain from production to deployment to replenishment at my disposal

And tank by itself is a liability without proper trained crew, proper capabilities, proper support, proper tactics, proper logistics etc

And just of the sake of a answer T90 series (T90M if i can have it) seems a good choice as of now amongst the options you gave, provided you have a robust production to replenishment capability in-house, the latter is the key factor, otherwise no different than the others in my opinion

This makes sense , thanks for providing your viewpoint.

Hey bro,

Are you still here.

Can you give us your thoughts on Tank warfare in the war in Ukraine.

We have seen many modern tank battles in this war, by your parameters, which do you think is the superior Main Battle Tank in the world right now.

I think the T-90M is a game changer.

The T-80BVM has also been great too.

The Leo tank hasn't lived up to the hype in my opinion.

The T-72B3 and T-90A have also been disappointing.

What are your thoughts?

This order was unannounced, only the purchase of 3 x AW-109 Grand New Helicopters for the Navy was public.

The Nigerian Navy currently has a significant fleet of 12 x AW-109/139 helicopters.

So in a nutshell, do you think Nigerians
will be more responsible and cooperative when talked to with respect and courtesy Or rebellion will increase

No, when you treat must Nigerians with respect and kid gloves, they'll instantly take advantage of you.

I'll rather say give respect to those who respect you in return.

It can't only be Nigerians trafficking drugs in South-Africa.

Nice change of pace.

The F7 that is the backbone of anything that can be called a capable enforcer in NAF are shortlegged

Make a guesstimate of how many sorties needed to enforce a NFZ for maybe a month

I don't think our L39s or Tucano carry Air to Air weapons so just F7/JF17?

JF-17 and F-7s will carry out Air Interdiction and CAS.

Nigeria will use UCAV for bombings, while Alpha Jets will carry out CAS.

However diplomacy is the only way forward.

From Sokoto to Naimey is under 500km. Our Aircrafts will make that distance without issues.

At the end, we should see better procurement of military assets for the military after this is over. That's my prediction.

iblawi:
Wagner is the only external

All neighbouring countries are in support of ECOWAS except Mali and they are both landlocked.

Algeria already declared support and another delegation sent to Libya already. Togo, Benin Nigeria and Chad are all against the coup.

I don't foresee any fighter jet coming from anywhere or heavy military equipment.

No cargo plane will even attempt to take such risk. That guy will step down eventually.

We only need the support of the Americans and military intervention in Niger will commence.

The main threat Nigerian troops will face will come from Wagner, however I don't see Wagner commiting major forces in Niger either. They are mainly preoccupied in Belarus, military intervention in Niger is not necessarily a geopolitical struggle, although it has some of the ingredients needed to make it one between the US and Russia.

For deployment, I suspect the Nigerian Air Force will deploy the following assets.

- 2 x JF-17

- 4 x F-7NI.

These aircrafts will mainly carry out the bulk of Air Interdiction missions & CAP.

I don't think Nigeria will deploy combat helicopters because of threats of the aircrafts been shot down, that's if Wagner are in the area. If there's no threat of Wagner, Attack Helicopters will be deployed in my opinion.

Nigeria plans to carry out many of the bombing missions using UCAVs. UCAV losses I think would be more bearable.

The army composition is much harder to predict. Nigerian army has enough firepower to press on this intervention, who knows we might see that more Heavy weaponry might have been purchased than what has been reported or visually sighted.

In my opinion, I don't think we should allow this coup in Niger to stand, it presents a major national security risk for Nigeria.
