I'm sorry to say, but the respondents above, from @Giles14 down did not read to understand the post by @rka1.


@Rka1 did not say Nigeria is going to ask for a loan from Russia to purchase a Western aircraft.

He's saying Nigeria could possibly get a loan from Russia to purchase MI-28NE attack helicopters.

Also I have never seen where Nigeria took a loan to purchase military equipment, hasn't happened before, won't happen now.

Remember the M346 model was on the former CAS, Sadique's table way back and not something that was negotiated this year. Besides, there is the extra budgetary allocation and who knows, maybe a loan from Russia. Also, I think there is a sort of fund that is going to be set up for the Armed Forces. These deals will probably be spread over a few years.

For all we know, Nigeria might be one of the below countries grin
I won't get my hopes high for real.

Indonesia, Serbia and Belarus announced significant purchases during this show.

Not optimistic about any Mi-28 or cobra deal but concerning the M346FA, I doubt we just paid for it considering that delivery will start this year, and the rumors have been existing before the recent release of funds to the military. It is highly unlikely that we paid for the deal this year and delivery will also start within the same year.
This unnecessary secrecy we are seeing with these new defence chiefs would eventually lead to corruption cases.

I don't know what we have that they keep hiding.

Let's see how procurement proceeds going forward.

Paramount Maritime keeps churning them out. Actually observed them from a friend's balcony the other night, moving this from the shipyard to the synchro-lift in the docks in Cape Town.
There are many big billion dollars offshore projects that need protecting. The market is there, and it's clear Paramount are making a killing.

I think Paramount would need to set up a production facility in Nigeria. I know they have a maintenance base in Onne, but with their clientele growing ever bigger, more investment would be needed.

I think I for see that happening soon.

There is that, although we know they are buying Russian helo(s) after the Super Cobra debacle. Which one(s) is the question.
Well, I usually don't celebrate Nigerian personnel at Air Shows.

We are the official kings of look and pass. grin grin

The Super Cobra deal doesn't seem legit to me either. I know credible agencies like Reuters carried the news, but I'm on the fence on that.

We also have the M346FA, if we are actually buying that, how can we afford to buy Attack helps almost immediately?

This doesn't mean anything in a Nigerian context.

We've never closed any significant deals of note in any of these air shows.

We only go there, look, come back home and have a different competition.

CAS ON OPERATIONAL VISIT TO GUSAU, CAUTIONS TROOPS TO BE FOCUSED AND VIGILANT

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) component of Operation Hadarin Daji have been charged to remain focused and vigilant as they make concerted efforts towards ridding the entire North West of bandits and other criminal elements. The Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Oladayo Amao stated this today, 14 September 2021, while on operational tour of Air Component under Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD) in Zamfara State. According to the CAS, the current onslaught against bandits and their activities has continued to yield the expected outcome hence the need to remain focused disciplined and extra- vigilant until the security situation improves. According to the CAS, 'This is not the time for you to be complacent or assume that we have overcome the enemy. Rather times like this calls for utmost discipline, alertness and extra focus on the task ahead.' Air Marshal Amao went on to commend them for their gallantry, dedication to duty and resolve towards ensuring that the fight against banditry in the North west is brought to a conclusive end.

Earlier, the Joint Task Force Commander of OPHD who also doubles as the General Officer Commanding 8 Division of the Nigerian Army, Major General UU Bassey, briefed the CAS on ongoing operations in Zamfara State and the entire North Western area. He informed the CAS that the operations have continued to yield the requisite results with bandits hideouts being destroyed and decimated. Maj Gen Bassey also thanked the CAS for ensuring that the Air Component as well as the NAF Special Forces are well trained and equipped for deployment to operational areas in the Region. According to Maj Gen Bassey, the renewed vigour exhibited by both Air and ground troops will no doubt be instrumental towards bringing the security situation in Zamfara State and environs to an end.

The CAS also took time to visit wounded airmen at the Federal Medical Centre and 207 Quick Response Group, Gusau where he assured them of NAF's commitment towards their medical attention and complete recovery.

It is important to note that the NAF Special Forces as well as its air element have continued to be key enablers and deciders in the fight against banditry in the North West. Indeed, in the last 2 months, several bandits have been neutralised through coordinated efforts between the air component, NAF Special Forces and other security elements in the theatre of operations. The joint operations, which is in its critical moments, has so far seen to the dislodging of key bandits' leaders and their followers as well as the destruction of their strongholds.

As good as they are, I think the demand is too time critical to rely on local vendors for now. Buhari is throwing so much cash into the military in anticipation for next year's offensive which he's hoping will be decisive. Its his last chance to leave a positive legacy on security and he know it. Lets hope to see results and a mother of all offensives this dry season
If we look at the number of CS/VP3, Isotex Legion & Isotex Phantoms we've bought, i'm not even adding off the shelf FV-103s, we could have accommodated local manufacturers.

Although i agree with your comment in bold, but we could have also achieved a balance.

New batch of 100 Bigfoot MRAPs for the Nigerian Army shipped. NA seems to be building up and investing significantly on protected mobility in anticipation for the dry season offensive operation. I hear 35-40 Isotrex Legions Mraps are currently in Abuja pre deployment, along with new tracked APC's ordered after the impact made by the FV-103 Scorpions
We should really look at building, investing in our local manufacturers.

Purchasing these many vehicles from abroad makes no sense to me, especially when we are dealing with a not so technical equipment, where a strong local alternative exists.

Sorry Josco, we don't have money to buy 4 submarines, even if we are getting submarine, it won't be more than 1, highest would be 2 and it will take years, submarines are very costly, 1 submarine cost a billion plus dollars, where would Nigeria get such amount for 4 submarines, when it's not even a necessity?
We can't even get that 4 frigates you mentioned there, easy abeg.
You can't be talking like this.

You know if Oga Josco wants to do give away for us?

You've only helped in exposing the utter incompetence & cluelessness of the Nigeria Police Force.

What a waste.

Officers like you in the Nigeria Police, gives more credence to our current shameful state of insecurity.
