China's new Aircraft carrier. This new ship uses an electromagnetic catapult system. China is the second country after the US navy to use this system.

Massive news and important foreign direct investment for Nigeria.

SierraNevCorp to inaugurate their permanent presence in Nigeria & ongoing success of the A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft program. We remain committed to providing the tools & training for Nigeria to counter insecurity.

At the time the deal was completed, it was the largest ever Foreign Military Sale in Sub-Saharan Africa, valued at $497 million.

We hope Nigeria can increase operational effectiveness by adding another squadron of A-29 aircraft as quickly as possible.”

Some ignorant people were claiming the Nigerian government paid 600 million dollars for this deal undecided

Any new delivery for the VT4 tanks to nigeria ?

Nigeria received only 6 in april 2020 at the delivery ceremony

https://www.overtdefense.com/2020/04/16/nigeria-receives-chinese-armored-vehicles/

Although Nigerian media reported Nigeria placed orders for 35 Tanks, quoting our Defense minister.

In May 2019, Minister of Defence, Brigadier General Mansur Dan-Ali, said the Nigerian government had provided funding for the acquisition of modern equipment for the Nigerian armed forces, with some in service and others on the way

This included 35 main battle tanks, 25 Typhoon MRAPs (mine-resistant, ambush protected vehicles), 20 Armoured Guard Booths, five armoured mine-clearing vehicles, 50 troop-carrying vehicles and 40 Buffalo vehicles, among others for the Nigerian Army.

No evidence of new Tank deliveries for Nigeria.

The President's office announced the single largest procurement of Armoured vehicles a few weeks back.

So, it's safe to assume we might be getting additional Tanks and Artillery systems.

Makes sense

Except maybe China which holds a lot of US debt and the loathe to sanction or antagonize

Not a fan of the C-295. Political will, will get us the C-130J or even the C-5 Super Galaxy. We need enhanced strategic airlift capability.

Do you mean the C-17? That's currently out of production, but if you actually mean the C-5, we will never get that.

I'm not a fan of the C-295 either, I don't think it has the tonnage to be useful in Nigerian military service. C-130J on the other hand is just perfect.

One fighter capability, I think we should stick with the JF-17 for fighter capability or if we can the J-10. My problem with the J-10 is, I don't believe the US will allow Nigeria purchase the J-10 is when we also have the AH-1Z Viper.

Nemesis, let's talk.

A little simplistic, however if we say the War in Armenia was a the UCAV, is it infallible to refer to the war in Ukraine as the war of Artillery, Tanks, Cruise missiles and Special Operations Forces?

What is your understanding of Special Forces and do you think the war in Ukraine ensures that further expansion of Special Forces units, especially in terms of capabilities and their range of employment?

Your thoughts.

Would you say threat of sanctions or end user restriction requirements that comes with US sales. The latter seems more probable to me. As a regional power any inhibitions to power projection for national interests is a minus.

I guess I can start dreaming on the C-130s replacements that would be a logistic banger. Nothing appears though to show our Air Forces planners looking in that direction.

Threats of sanctions is a serious worry for Nigeria, that's why I see significant concerns with US weapons. However it was same threat of sanctions that dissuaded Nigeria from getting the remaining MI-35M helicopters from Russia.

If you can't buy from anywhere else, you might as well just buy from America. That threat exists, and we have to live with it.

Their are restrictions on the use of the A-29 Super Tucanos, and their would be restrictions on the use the AH-1Z helicopters also.

I don't think Nigeria is allowed to use the Super Tucano outside of Nigeria for instance. We have to find a balance, and procure the right mix of military equipment.

We are buying helicopters and the Super Tucano from America, the M-346F/A from Italy. Areas where we can't deploy the Tucanos, we use the M-346F/A.

Nothing appears to show we are interested in the C-130s for now, all pointers show we will receive some C-295 aircrafts from Airbus in the near future. This won't be a bad purchase, but we should jettison them, in my opinion, for the C-130J instead.

At the start of the war, we kept on hearing Russia is running out of missiles, Russia only has 3 days worth of missiles left. undecided

3 months in, the Russians have been lighting up Ukraine with cruise missiles on a daily basis.

While might be a stretch though no longer impossible the successful purchase of the Super Tucano a 4th generation aircraft by Nigeria apparently opened the doors to more American tech and gear coming to the AFN.

A new administration in Abuja in 2023 can fast track this possibility. An advantage of US weapons manufacture though expensive especially aircraft is engine reliability, cost effectiveness and cheap maintenance.

As long as we maintain a US friendly government, we will continue to see significant US purchases.

It is now possible to get F-16s from the US. Although I wouldn't encourage such a purchase.

Our C-130s require replacement, we could start from there.

Kyiv turns to Nigeria's Proforce in scramble for more armoured vehicles

To meet the mounting needs of the Ukrainian army as it struggles to hold the Donbas, Kyiv did the rounds of suppliers at the Eurosatory defence trade fair in Paris this week. One of these was Nigerian armoured vehicles manufacturer Proforce.

The Ugandan Mi-28NE are equipped with the H025E over-hull radar and they have dual control, similar to the Mi-28UB modification, and the new President-S BKO is also installed on all Ugandan helicopters.

Uganda will receive 6 units of MI-28NE helicopters, 3 delivered now, and 3 units at a later date.

You're right that AHQ should outsource this.

Even with that being done, there will still be redesigns before final approval right?

Even ProForce did not get Ara right at the first attempt.

Speaking of which, who has pictures of ProForce's participation at Eurosatory please?!

It's a waste of resources, there are multiple, many alternatives available.

No pictures from Proforce yet.
