shadowprimezero: I largely agree with this assessment. It is what it is. For all the nay sayers, how many missile armed vessels does the NN have. The NN has very limited Blue water capabilities. Its strategic growth plans and recapitalisation efforts would see it into a very formidable force in a few years, but in its current state, if we're being honest,its a glorified coast guard.
On the NAF, our Tucanos are strike aircraft and the deal didn't include any A2A missiles. The JF-17s are another case entirely. They can go toe to toe with any Gripen, but unfortunately we only have them in little numbers. With the M-346FA deal however, Nigeria will have a pretty good air deterrent. Their A2A weapons suite are the same as the Eurofighter Typhoon. We'll also have them in decent numbers How do you largely agree with a comment filled with holes and unrealistic scenarios? How often does the SAN take it's boats to sea? |

He is mentioning A-darter, and you are agreeing with him, Is the A-darter in service in any service anywhere in the would? How would a Denel that is bankrupt, has been workers monthly salaries for months, could not supply contracts to Egypt & Chad, hasn't paid component manufacturers? How do you expect they would attack Nigeria? |

Whyem15: Majority of the plans in the recapitalization program is why I wish to see the deep blue project develop into a coast guard and allow NN to focus on being a real navy.
And hopefully, the new OPVs the navy will be getting will be missile armed. what is a real Navy? |

Whyem15: But those presently at the high command were also in the fields not too long ago as commanders and know what the soldiers need to do their work. What's really wrong with them?
The only reasonable excuse is if it is an emergency purchase to quickly replace those lost to last year's dry season before another offensive begins. I don't think it's a rushed purchased. I think cost consideration, familiarity of system and quantity are the primary deciding factors. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by kabe1: 2:05pm On Aug 30, 2021 |
Whyem15: It's disappointing Sha, at this stage we shouldn't be buying weapons designed in the 1980s. But at least we have more protected mobility for the coming offensive. Perhaps Army high command don't trust commanders enough to ensure the safety of new equipment. They might have also looked at the cost of purchasing a modern IFV vis-a-vis battlefield sustainability and decided, quantity over quality. |
