COURTESY VISIT BY THE CHIEF OF THE NAVAL STAFF NIGERIAN NAVY TO THE CHIEF OF THE NAVAL STAFF SOUTH AFRICAN NAVY ON MONDAY 11 APRIL 2022

kabe1:
Some interesting updates from SIPRI.

• 40x Mistral SAM’s for SIMBAD-RC from MBDA France they will be installed on 2x Dearsan OPV for The Nigerian Navy.

• 24x F-124 turbofan engines ordered for 12* M-346FA/FT aircrafts.

This is a significant confirmation of Nigeria's purchase of the M-346, at last, the final days of the Alpha jets are fast approaching.

SAM systems for the OPVs we ordered from Turkey, nice!

bidexiii:
this racked vehicles are kicking BOT ass and saving lives, if we can get Russian BMP 2M would be a game changer.
Although it has tin/light Armor but the remote gun and other optical sensor would improve combat efficiency

With the war in Ukraine, I don't think we will be getting any military equipment from Russia any time soon.

From the war in Ukraine, you can see how 30mm guns are important.

I think we need to purchase proper IFVs from China to support our APCs and MRAPS.

The Nigerian military has received nearly 350 units of Wheeled and Tracked armoured personnel carriers. The 12.7mm HMGs which the vehicles carry are great, but we need heavier firepower.

I thought they pulled out

They have pulled out. They are now deployed in Niger.

HAL signs a contract with Nigerian Army for imparting Phase-II flying training on Chetak Helicopter for six officers of Nigerian Army Aviation. This marks the continuation of contract signed in April 2021 for imparting Phase-I flying training to 6 Nigerian Army aviation officers.

Proforce Defence, Nigeria's largest armoured vehicles manufacturer continues to make considerable sales to Nigerian government clients, Civilian clients and exports to Chad, Niger, Ghana, Rwanda and South Sudan.

The Nigerian Air Force has been a long time admirer of the T-129 Attack Helicopter. With the service poised to procure 6 x units in 2015.

The Nigerian military, Army and Air Force are still in the market with hopes of procuring new Attack helicopters, but there seems to be a significant slow down to these procurement activities.

Plan to purchase M-346FA fighters has also slowed, we have not also seen any indication that the Nigerian Air Force will order additional JF-17s.

The Russia/Ukraine war is also not helping matters, maintenance of MI-35M helicopters and the upgrade of 3 x MI-35P variants to the latest upgrade package would almost likely be stalled also.

This situation presents a major challenge for Nigeria, time will tell how we respond to these significant draw backs.

SuperSixSeven:
Excuse me Sir, do you really think i do not understand that this is a TIME video? Let me restate the problem: You are repeatedly trying to support the Russian "denazification" narrative in this current war (also by posting this video) while not understanding backgrounds of this topic.

No offense, you're an imbeciile.

There are always multiple sides to a story. It is important that people are presented with all sides of a story, and are allowed to make whatever conclusions they see fit.

I could not careless if the Russians and Ukrainians kill themselves, both have shown to be incredibly racist.

It is however important to show why they are killing themselves, and not just through a Western perspective only. It's basic common sense.

SuperSixSeven:
Interesting that Russian propaganda that is

Aren't you just hopelessly idiotic.

Is the video from Russia? Are you blind to see that source is Times?

You are hopelessly foolish and beyond redemption.

Right wing, Racist groups in Ukraine. Part of the reason for the current military invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

Some people have asked, why does the Nigerian Navy need a ship like this when we have a BHT and Bandit problem.

- First, the Nigerian Navy has always had heavy Sea lift capabilities, the ship is expected to restore our Sea lift capability, and the Navy's ORBAT.

- The Nigerian military's recent military deployment to Gambia showed a major flaw in our response capability, while we rapidly deployed nearly 800 men to Senegal, we could not send in any armour. With a ship like this we would be able to rapidly supply men and armour, APCs, Tanks, IFVs and MRAPs where and when we need them.

- Humanitarian capabilities, the Nigerian Air Force has flown thousands of hours of humanitarian flights in the last 10 years. NNS Kada allows Nigeria to deploy massive humanitarian aid to countries across Africa in much, much larger volumes.

- Gunboat diplomacy, the presence of NNS Kada can help deter conflict in the region. It is also a piece of floating Nigerian culture.

MiddleDimension:
so, how does the NN measure up with other navies across Africa? If you were to rate the NN, where would you put it with respect to the other navies on the continent?

It doesn't work like that. Countries are measured on the basis of how equipped they are to deal with the threats they are expected to face.

The Nigerian Navy is well positioned to deal with all foreseeable threats the service is expected to face.

The Nigerian Navy is expected to place a second order with Damen for another LST.

NNS Kada is expected to replace NNS Ambe and NNS Ofiom, both LST's were decommissioned 10 years ago.

NNS Ambe played a significant role in the landing of Nigerian troops in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigerian army operations in Cameroun.
