Flanker:That's not correct. Egyptian military is heavily dependent on western systems. Look at Mali for example, they can't receive the C-295 they bought from Airbus because America won't approve the delivery. |

Stormtrooper11:OK. The bulk of Egypt Fighter fleet is American. F-16 The bulk of Egypt Frigate fleet is American, French & Italian. The bulk of Egypt's tank fleet is American. Should Egypt go to war with Israel, hypothetically speaking those, Israel will get so much military and political support from America, that the Egyptian military would nearly ground to a halt. It's not the same with Algeria. Algeria military buys primarily from Russia, in a sustained war with Morocco for example Algeria would continue to receive military support from Russia irrespective of political pressure. So in my opinion Algeria has the best military in Africa giving that they have manpower & political support to conduct and sustain any war. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Flanker:This gives good clarity. If I may ask, does the above budget include infrastructure spending? Of the 39 billion dollars, if 9 billion goes to the military, Education 5 billion and health 3 billion, what percentage is spent on Infrastructure and Social investment programmes? |

Super Tucano, the Nigerian Air Force & Counter Insurgency. Many commentors in Nigeria's public space have branded the Super Tucano as the game changing aircraft. The aircraft to end all wars. While the Super Tucano brings new capabilities to the Nigerian Air Force, most of the commentary we've seen fly around in Nigeria have been over exaggerated. A brief history on the A-29 Super Tucano. EMB-314 Super Tucano is an enhanced version of the EMB-312 Tucano trainer aircraft that features faster speed and higher altitude capabilities. The prototype of the Super Tucano first flew in 1992. Both Tucano and Super Tucano have been developed and built by Embraer of Brazil. The A-29 Super Tucano relies heavily on US produced and Canadian parts, so it makes sense that Embraer signed an agreement with SNC for the aircrafts to be built in America. The main missions of the aircraft are border patrol and counter-insurgency operations. In addition to flight training. There are five hardpoints for carrying weapons, and the aircraft is capable of holding a maximum external load of 1,500kg. The aircraft is armed with two wing-mounted 12.7mm machine guns with a rate of fire of 1,100 rounds a minute and is capable of carrying general-purpose bombs and guided air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles. The A-29 is credited for ending the insurgency in Colombia by many analyst, but this isn't entirely true since there still an Insurgency, Drug production problem in Colombia. So while the A-29 Super Tucano is an important tool in fighting an Insurgency, it is not a game changer like pseudo Twitter analyst in Nigeria's twitter space would have some people believe. It enhances the capability already present in the Nigerian Air Force, and multiplies them. The A-29 ensures that the Nigerian Air Force has additional platforms that can fight at night, loiter and conduct ISR, and launch precision guided munitions, reducing collateral damages and ensuring a higher target elimination. It is an important asset to have, but it is NO Game Changer!! 10 Likes

Nigerian army buys 15% stake in Proforce Nigeria. This is the biggest story from this week, an important story for security in Nigeria and growth of Nigeria's defence industry. With this stake, the Nigerian army has demonstrated it is committed to the growth of Proforce Defence, and the larger defence industry. This buy in also ensures that the Nigerian army would patronize Proforce, not just for new vehicles, but the MRO of old vehicles and the training of personnel. The Nigerian army also placed orders for additional MRAPs from Proforce Defence. 9 Likes

Lurker4Long:Hopefully Seaward Defence Boat 4 would be bigger. We'll have to wait and see what happens in November. NDL is always busy, currently they are building SDB 3 in one dock, a House Boat in a second dock, while the larger 190 meters dock is almost permanently used for large ship maintenance and refit. It brings up the question where would a larger, say 60 meters vessel be built. 2 Likes |
