It's so uncomfortable. Paying nearly 1 billion dollars and not getting the hellfire missiles is kinda "not cool". Nevertheless, seems the Turkish UTMAS missile is compatible with the choppers. It can be purchased if the US hellfire missiles are unavailable to us.

The APKWS can defeat Tanks. While the Hellfire is an important asset, the APKWS is a far better option for Nigeria.

I don't think the US will allow Nigeria to install a Turkish ATGM on the AH-1Z.

We will be able to get the Hellfire missile if the need for it arises.

Stormtrooper11:
The GPS tho. Is it possible to do something about that?!

Commercially available GPS, what's wrong with that? It's easily replaceable, how's that a bad thing?

Stormtrooper11:
If this is true, then we've gotten a poor deal. They don't trust us. I've repeatedly said this. We should please explore other options.

Nigeria did not pay for Hellfire missiles. That's just a sensationalist headline.

What we paid for are the AKPWS guided rockets.

Nigerian made Proforce ARA 2 MRAP

A Nigerian made Proforce ARA 2 MRAP possibly destined for the armed forces of Niger.

Nigerian Navy LST might be able to carry 2 helicopters.

On deployment NNS Kada would be able to deploy 1 unit AH-1Z Attack Helicopter. The AH-1Z is already optimized for sea borne operations since it was built specifically to meet the needs of the US marine corps.

This means that the coastal capabilities of the Nigerian armed forces is further enhanced to meet all contemporary challenges.

Fed Govt Nig paid for NAF 12 Tucano, 12 Hind E, 12 Master, now 12 Viper:

Cash sum $3.5 billion for all those 48 light aircraft is too much. Instead, just 12 Tucanos, 12 Hinds are enough to add to our many other air fleets, numbers okay for a low-intensity land war.

Obsolete Nigerian Army is very dry having only 6 modern tanks, no infantry ATGM, almost no IFV, in a land war! Ahhh !

Coming new 12 Viper attack helicopters $1 billion can buy for sick dry NA new 800 armoured vehicles-drone carriers with 8,000 Drones mini loiter-munition guided missile-bomb armed UCAVs game changer modern multi-role MRAP APC ICV APV UCAV AFV ISR IFV equipped RCWS 20mm Automat cannons firepower, round the clock 24/7 long range vision day/night eyes on our lands, mixture of both tracked and wheeled troop carriers - defence patrol - attack vehicles.

We say procurement staff make wrong choices, people say its correct.

Obodo Naija has 774 local govts, so 800 vehicles cover all, add 8,000 drones, covers everywhere in Nigeria, power projection every corner.


All bloody bandits terrorists ransom robbers Jihad insurgents rapis t Benue militias Ombatse cults kidnappers herdsmen Boko Haram rebels cow rustlers ISWAP Caliphate will die or surrender or relocate up Sahara, fatally woundedded by 800 IFVs, hunted non-stop by 8,000 Kamikaze drones swarming like bees all over the skies of Nigeria.


Someone please explain what he is saying I don't understand

Correction - 5 units MI-35M Hind E.

Irrespective of the current Counter Terrorism Ops, the Nigerian fleet has been in dire need of replacement.

The Alpha Jets and L-39NG have an average age of 40 years.

In essence we are replacing 30 units of Alpha jets & L-39NG LIFT/Light Attack Aircrafts with 12 units of A-29 Super Tucanos & 12 units of M-346FA aircrafts. 24 units of modern aircrafts for 30 units of obsolete aircrafts.

While we have complimented the fleet with 15 modern UCAVs, with more units on order.

The AH-1Z attack helicopters will also complement the MI-35M helicopters we have in service. We were due to modernize 3 units of MI-35P to the latest version, but with the Russia VS Ukraine war, I really don't see that happening.

We have not even looked at our Transport fleet, which is also in dire need of an upgrade. Although last I heard we are interested in getting the Airbus C-295 from Spain.

The Nigerian army has received nearly 350 vehicles including 260 MRAPs, LAVs and Tracked Vehicles in the last 6 months.

Federal government in addition has also announced the largest ever procurement of Land vehicles for the Nigerian army. So, let us wait and see the specifics of that procurement.

I agree that we have to buy more Tanks and IFVs, but the government is investing heavily in security equipment for the military. In the end, Nigeria would be better off for these purchases.

MAN1960ii:
Sometimes I just imagine what will a military conflict with all our neighbors look like

But why would you want Nigeria to fight her neighbors for crying out loud?

Hope this Russia - Ukraine war isn't giving you ideas?

Lurker4Long:
[s]It's best to keep quiet and be thought a fool, than to come here and confirm it.
What butthurt when I was agreeing with you?
Your derangement is manifesting again! Forgot to take your meds?[/s]

You keep whining and biitching like the complete idiot you are. Can't stand the heat, stay off the kitchen.

jl115:
actually they were quoting Nigerian reports

Show us the CAS quote.

You made the claim, now provide evidence.

jl115:
here:

"Yabhon Flash-20s would replace the CH-3 armed UAVs acquired from China. One crashed in January 2015 and the type has apparently been problematic in Nigerian service. They have been armed with AR-1 missiles, and used to strike Boko Haram positions."

https://www.defenceweb.co.za/aerospace/unmanned-aerial-vehicles/nigeria-has-received-emirati-uavs/

Show us the quote from Nigeria's CAS.

You just posted an opinion piece from an unknown South African.

Where is the quote from the Chief of Air Staff of Nigeria?

jl115:
so why did your own CAS say they want to replace the Ch3 with flash 20s?

Can you please provide the link where he said that?

jl115:
- 7 CH-3A - 1 down.... And have been performing poorly hence why they are being replaced
- 4 CH-4
- 2 Winglong
- 1 Yahbon flash 20 not 40

They have been performing poorly, so we bought 2 more units.

Aren't you just a clown?

Yahbon flash Drones minimum 3 units.

Odunayaw:
Comrade Kabe1 show him something

Minimum of 15 UCAVs including -

- 7 CH-3A - 1 crashed

- 4 units CH-4 UCAV

- 2 Units Winglong II

- minimum 3 units Yahbon flash 40

With more units on order.

Lurker4Long:
You really ought not to spank the monkey whilst on here: that and your condition reduces you to a jabbering incoherent idiot.
Seek help, it's not too late!

I can feel the butthurt from my screen.

Odunayaw:
It seems the term 'giant' just triggered all the butthurt

Lurker4Long:
This is what happens when you take a break from fellating your Putin blow-up doll?

Stick to the question,clown.

Lurker4Long:
Your condition has you talking out of your arse on the internet. Haven't I been saying all along the SANDF has no UCAVs?

Your clown country man says you do. That's why I've been begging you to prove him right.

Lurker4Long:

He doesn't know so educate him.
As far back as 2006, we were amongst the first to develop drones as targeting platforms for artillery, with the Paramount Vulture.

And then there's the jet-powered Denel Skua
To this end, the Skua reach speeds of Mach 0.86 (1,062km/h) at an altitude of around 32,800ft. According to Denel, the endurance of the Skua is 60 minutes at a speed of Mach 0.7 (865km/h) and an altitude of roughly 20,000ft.

All these, yet no UCAVs. Stop beating around the bush, and post SANDF UCAVs.

jl115:
OK and? So you think this sentence means the SANDF only flies these to drones?? Are you ret@rded bru?

There's no evidence to show the SANDF flies drones in active service other than DJI and Indiza.

Post the evidence to support your claims.

Lurker4Long:
Denel Dynamics has not been liquidated. On the contrary, they won a new contract in the UAE just a few months ago.

Same way they won a contract from Egypt for missiles, Chad for MRAPs and and the SANDF for Patria IFVs. We all know how the Bankrupt Denel executed those.

jl115:
OK so you just posted a link proving we bought the Seeker 400!!! Thanks bru

Where did I say you didn't buy one?

It has not been accepted into service as at 2019, and giving the liquidation of Denel, there's no evidence that your military accepted the aircraft into service.

The SANDF is only know to fly cheap Chinese DJI drones and hand launched Indiza drones.

jl115:
can you not read the link?

From your South African links.

but the SANDF is known to fly DJI Phantoms and Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)-developed Indiza hand-launched fixed wing UAVs

jl115:
well if Nigeria has a "large" fleet by Nigerian definition then SA has as well...

Dude!!!!



WTF!!!

jl115:
"The Seeker 400 has been ordered by the Defence Intelligence division of the South African National Defence Force, which took delivery of its first aircraft in late 2015"


https://www.defenceweb.co.za/aerospace/aerospace-aerospace/uae-orders-seekers-from-denel/

They did not buy or drones bru

You have been busted like the Clown Prince Orania which you are.

jl115:
must I post the link here again?

You pulled out the Six (6) units figure from your as$.

From your link.

At the time of publication there was no indication of how many Seeker 400s were being built for the local client or when they will be delivered

jl115:
https://www.defenceweb.co.za/sa-defence/sa-defence-sa-defence/seeker-uavs-for-the-saaf/

The South African National Defence Force (Defence Intelligence) was the launch customer for the Seeker 400, and took delivery of its first aircraft in late 2015, although operational testing and evaluation by Defence Intelligence division was still underway in 2019 ahead of the type being granted full military type certification.


You might just be the biggest clown in South -Africa.

jl115:
must I post the link here again?

Post the link.

jl115:
at least 6 were ordered in 2016....however the actual number is undisclosed

Just like Santa-Claus.
