Speedy construction or its just me?

Very speedy construction.

To be expected when the builder(Damen) has more than 100 years experience building capital ships.

Nigerian Navy Landing Ship Tank (LST).

Possible second order for another LST from Damen in the works

Hurrah! Hurrah!!
SDB4 The dock is yours.!!!

SDB4 should be 60 meters at least.

Then we standardized on 8 vessels, 3 x 45m SDB 3 and 5 x 60m SDB 4.

Nigerian domestically built 45m Seaward Defence Boat 3 ready for launch.

I asked bec I have eaten it , leaf , overground roots and tuber ( used as food in a certain region back home where it grows in wild )

As far as I can remember , one needs to careful bec the tuberous roots of certain varities of it causes itchy sensation in throat when eaten

Didn't know it is eaten elsewhere also

We are not so different after all.

It used to be widely eaten in Nigeria in the early from the early 2000's and downwards, nowadays, not so much.

Nemesis4you:
Last pic the plants in the bottom of the pic is it used as food ?

Yes, that's definitely food.

I like the fact the South-African army armed their pickup trucks with 50 calibre HMGs, and they also went for the landcruiser version.

The headline is funny

Is there any good police officer in Nigeria?

Odunayaw:
Likewise! Kabe1 come o

I saw a Primeumtimes press release on this sniper rifle. It means they are a legitimate company.

However any manufacturer that intends to build anything in partnership with DICON isn't serious for business.

Xbee007:
This Twitter post along with the image reminds me of a joker on this thread.

I am very wary of these self-proclaimmed "intelligence" folks. 99.9999% of them are liars and embellish stories to suit their taste.

There's too much fake news and propaganda from pro-government and anti-government handles in Nigeria.

dragon2:
Any idea on the name for sdb3?

No idea.

Nigerian shipbuilding.

45 meters locally built Seaward Defence Boat 3 has been fully painted and named.

SuperSixSeven:
My bet is on the Shaldag V - but of course i would be happy for the NN if they introduce Sa'ar 72 Corvettes.

We've switched to Ocea a long time ago. I don't see that happening. Also considering we recently got 4 x Aresa boats.

I think it's a more significant purchase.

Earlier reports suggest Nigeria may have ordered Sa'ar 72 Corvettes.

Could this visit be further evidence of that purchase?

Lurker4Long:
Minor correction: the guys in the pic below are not SF; they're from 1 Tactical Intelligence Regiment. They conduct battlefield surveillance using ground radars and tactical drones to report on enemy movement and disposition. Because they're forward deployed and sometimes behind enemy lines, they're also used as observers to call in artillery on enemy positions and targets of opportunity.

Ok, cool. The thing is, the roles they perform are special forces roles. Going by your description.
