Ours did it was part of Saab's maintenance contract....I have posted the details with regards to the contract on this thread multiple times.

It is our money, how we choose to spend it is completely our problem.

jln115:
Dude we paid just a ball hair under R60 mil a pop for our Gripen, the price also included training,weapons and Saab's maintenance contract which includes not just regular spares and maintenance but also all upgrades when they are made available!!

R600 mil for 12 single engine prop aircraft is ridiculous!!

It is a very good deal. We are talking life cycle cost including infrastructure.

jln115:
Yes and?? Our Gripen cost R60 mil a unit, which included training, weapons, maintenance and all future upgrades as they come available!

No, it's not.

The cost of your Gripens do not include upgrades.

jln115:
$600 mil for 12 Tucanos...... absolutely ridiculous!!!

For $600 mil you can get:
10-12 Gripen C

14-18 SU30mkm

20-25 JF-17

Let that sink in!!

"The department notified the US Congress, which has 30 days to approve the deal, of the $593 million foreign military sale on 2 August. The package includes the aircraft, weapons, training, spare parts and facilities to support the programme, according to a 3 August announced by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency."

I think it meets our [b]immediate needs, although I fear future sanctions. [/b]The Americans are a funny lot.

That's my biggest fear. However with the Alpha jets, we kept them flying despite European sanctions in the early 90s, don't you think we can do same with these?

Thank you.

What is your opinion of this deal, do you like it?

gboye1999:
Great News...
Hopefully there's much more to the deal though considering the cost. That is relative to the afghans purchase.

Why is this our contract quite high? I can't quite figure it out.

bidexiii:

What is funny in that post you quoted?

Centrifude:
This was very unnecessary.. If you had bothered to ask you would have been conclusions Bro.

This is Nairaland.com, a Nigerian forum.

patches689:
Who is @NairlandSARS and why they trying to contact me?

I ain't clicking no links on no emails.

A quick search should have been more ideal. Quote the individual and find out what he/she wants.

Going through the individuals profile shows he/she is mainly into Health related topics.

ActivateKruger:
SARS? It's time you get taxed in Nairaland, just give them your banking details with your password. You'll be fine.

Don't be always too quick to show your stupidity.

Just see the crap and nonsense you wrote

Did i lie?

Covert1:
Our policy makers are slow really, a frustration many share. These guys are capable of more with the right investment and not just them but others too. Where is Onu? He says the right things but always seems to be missing in action.

Onu is a fool, and he never say's anything right.

He's just an incompetent slowpoke appointed by an equally moronic vegetable of a Nigerian president into a ministry he has no excuse being in.

tdayof:
Today, I talked about a Nigerian company with a manufacturing plant in Nigeria into Radio Solutions blablabla.

Had access to their brochure but I doubt I with AES integration.

Cc: kabe1

This is impressive!

"They are also exporting to Germany?"........ That's so cool!

Hopefully we get to see them at the Air Show Oga Henry said would be holding in Ghana this October.

Not as exiting as I suspected though! but still cool to watch.

I thought this was supposed to be a joint training exercise?

How come i don't see any South-African military soldiers?

officialdayo:
Can't remember the name. The company however has a DFMP signs on her product and some of her products are being tested by various agencies already.

I'll share pictures soon. Their products currently ranges from Communication devices, signal repeaters and Jammer.


My visit there, in their R& lab, I could see a banner highlighting some on going projects such as spy camera jammer and some other stuff.

I'll tag you after uploading their products soon. They also have ToT with some foreign companies. I'm to do my internship there so I guess I should be able to provide more pictures and others. The director complained about importing some parts that could have be done in Nigeria.

They own up to 4 patents already.

That's great, please share the photos in Oga Henry's thread.

Are they collaborating with Proforce?

officialdayo:
A Nigerian company does this already. We should see the vehicle own on Profoce vehicles soon for the military. Due to the man power available, the company's plant is very impressive too.

Which company is that?

gboye1999:
This is not necessary...Henry clearly says he prefers the funds for submarine goes for other assets'

His Comments:

We keep buying more and more OPVs, this obsession won't stop. We already have 5, why get any more?

I'll probably hold on, on the Submarines, invest in other areas first. At the minimum we should have 1 Frigate, 2 Corvettes and 4 missile boats.


I don't get the dick measuring contest here.

The way Oga Henry just ignored that post.

Completely Savage!!!

Henry240:
Nigerian army locally fabricated infantry patrol vehicles.

Beautiful, i love it.

Nigerians and South-Africans always quarrelling, always arguing.

Why can't we all respect each others differences, live in peace and post the pictures we all want to see.

Why always squaring up for a fight?

We might not like each other, but we should respect each others differences.

Henry240:
Since this comment was posted by Patches, i have been laughing so hard.

To think that i inflict so beloved country.

For this I say thank you. I am loving it.

Oga Henry no go kill person!

You be real clown.

I always knew thier obsession with you wasn't normal.

ActivateKruger:
As for you, stay a year longer I might consider entertaining you... B#tch

Such a lonely, sad person.

I almost feel sorry for you.

ActivateKruger:
Actually he does, it doesn't end well most of the times for him.... Once beaten, twice as shy.

You're such a butt-hurt loser. I have not seen even one since i registered here.

However, if you want to go on clamouring for his d**k, good for you.

ActivateKruger:
This is what happens when you sleep and wake up in anger and frustration.

The FJs are not being delivered and the Su-30 story turned out to be a tooth fairy tale.

Please consult your health care practitioner, you should be in plenty of pain.

To be honest, if there is anyone suffering from frustration here, it is you.

Funny, Henry240, doesn't even act like you exist. I have never for once even seen him respond to your posts.

Why do you even bother, it's truly pathetic.

Are you that desperate for his attention?

When exactly do we keep our private lives private?

jakeporeshenko:
What navy is this?, looks like this picture was taken at a parade.

That's Ghana. Nigerian trained Ghanaian navy commandos i think.

giles14:
u wan start?

can't you comment without calling me a wailer.
and I still maintain a trainer is a trainer.

that it carries bomb and rockets don't change anything.
won't be surprise if one day if you call a shout or transport helicopter an attack helicopter just bcoz it carries,drops bombs and rockets

Yes, because it carries bombs and rockets changes a whole lot. That is why it is referred to as a Trainer/Light Attack.

NAF MI-17 terminators are referred to as Transport/Assault helicopters.

SSBN:
Me and my girl....

Beautiful and so sexy.

Now, i also feel like taking a photo like this with my woman.

MiddleDimension:
i think Nigerians have to give up already on the 17s, they will never come.

I believe your concerns about the JF-17 is simply because you are scared sh1tless of a disappointment. That's why you are always JF-17 this, JF-17 that.

I guess everyone of us has been in one way or the other, in your current state. It is normal.

My advice to you is to try get a grip of your emotions, the jets would come, it has been budgeted for. Let's just wait.
