Do we really have the EE-9 Cascavel from Brazil?

There is no picture or evidence of it anywhere

S400:
i think the nigerian air force have a lot of other priority before thinking of getting an AWACS !

kabe1:
Nigerian army

This looks like a "new" rocket launcher.

I've never seen this type of Launch vehicle.

The lockdown is stretching too long

Anyways out of curiosity , the payment for the mushshak was part of the same deal or different ?

PrinxArthur1:
u are funny

nemesis8u:
Wrong

HAL after inspection offered to make them flight worthy and up to date.

The NAF did not agree with the price . So no word was heard as a result.

BlackBaron:
Nigeria/DICON signed an intent to manufacture Beryl rifles, though we haven't heard much since the deal was signed.

Even though they have been residing in the Chad part of Lake Chad for years? SMH.

MiddleDimension:

bidexiii:
More hardwares shopping to also come from Russia and China

realnas:
how were they able to obtain vehicles ,flak jackets and identity cards ?Could it be possible that they have infiltrated UNICEF?

nemesis8u:
Let me tell u a true story

Something what u described in your post was done by a single man - current NSA of India Mr doval

There was a terrorist group in north east India which had become very powerful in a short span of time .

So he learnt the language , did necessary facial changes to make himself look like a mongoloid and managed to join as a recruit . He rose the ranks quickly became a commander.

He was on the highest priority hit list of Indian army .They failed to kill him twice .

In the meantime he successfully created divisions between the group and it split into two groups who ended up killing each other . Lost more than half of cadres . Rest were so disillusioned that doval convinced them it was best to surrender and enjoy the rest of their life on government rehabilitation money.

He then along with his remaining comrades surrendered to the army / government.

My point being - it is doable as it already has been done

nemesis8u:
Am curious why ops are named after snakes?

Like dancing python
Or
Like rattlesnake
The Chief of Army Staff LTG. Buratai.
In his " spare time " loves to raise
Venomous Snakes that is why.

Jimi24:
Serbia?. Yes definitely second hand.

kabe1:
NAF would receive another soon.

GabrielYulaw:
Interesting. Yes, I think a pure attack platform would be best. Using the Augusta for bandit suppression duties makes some sense, but I fear those bandits are getting braver and bolder. Why, they nearly shot down a police chopper this week. They wouldn't have tried that nonsense if it was a Mi Mil 35 facing them.

I think its was reactivated......

Ghana Air Force plane over shoots runway.

Sizzorkay:
Was wondering the same thing, i saw them as transport helis and wondered why we like buying them, instead of buying standard helicopter gunships or attack helis, you know, those made for that purpose.
These ones just look bare, i don't know, just don't like them.
now don't kill me, just saying
