Both are Unmanned Aerial vehicles.

But one is designed specifically for combat UCAV; Unmanned combat aerial vehicle ie; they carry munition. While the other UAV; Unmanned aerial vehicle is a non-combat drone.

Steyr ssg 69. Made in Austria. Range 800m to 4000m. The rifle is ok. Is it only N.A that have snipers?

hunter21:
yeah, like the women special forces unit that was displayed on Independence Day

homerac7:
This type of ignorance laced post do dishonour to Maj Gen GT Zidon (rtd) and Maj Gen Felix Moujakperuo (rtd) who on different occasions led amphibious charge to dislodge entrenched Cameroonian soldiers from contested islands around the Bakassi peninsula. Good men lost their lives in order to achieve the objective - and Cameroonian soldiers were decisively punished.

You sit back in the comfort of your chair and type on your computer insult to blood and sweat of those men.

I know i am derailing,but just had to put this here.The five highest spenders on defence in Africa are Algeria,Morocco,South Africa,Egypt and Angola.Nigeria doesn't spend as much on defence,compared to these nations yet we expect to equip our guys just like theirs.

lionel4power:
The Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF) re-announces the sale of a number of aircraft and helicopters, as follows:

1 Hercules C-130/B
2 Casa C-295
12 Hawk-63
17 Cobra AH-1/F
13 Huey UH-1/H
The Cobra and the Hueys would require approval and President Trump's approval
Jordan will only get approval if and only if the US gives a nod of assent.
Nigeria's acquisition philosophy in most recent years 2015- goes against such procurement.
The NAF simply doesn't do second hand any more, it simply removes the whiff of corruption..
Conclusion: Nigeria is not likely to be in the picture




note that the Hawk and CASA C-295 are basically brand new.

Odunayaw:
The lad doesn't know na. I know of two monikers that are notorious alarmists.

Never in this thread have we lowered our expectations for NAF but when someone with verbal dysentery & extra data bundles comes in and starts excreting we must call him to order.

Can we go back to sanity?

giles14:
defense budget is small but you could spend $600+mln on a propeller craft

Henry240:
Is Nigeria's air space contested?

SLBM:
The NAF is the only Air Force in existence that spend more resource and manpower building farming centres, trading shops, sporting events, fish farming and ground forces than it spends on improving the quality of its aircrafts, capital acquisition, RnD and effective air defence. What's is the NAF gonna open next, a sewing machine factory?

barineh:
Our military would be sanctioned by the US. They did same to China recently.
It depends some contracts were signed before these sanctions went into effect.
For example the contracts for the Helicopters were signed in 2016.
No law can simply erase a contract due to sanctions.

foxtrot101:
I saw a couple of drones too...or were my eyes deceiving me?

giles14:
was also wondering.

could be recoilless gun.

jakeporeshenko:
As long as the IVM trucks can match the performance of the Toyota then why not, I’m sure they are cheaper and more economical.

Those Boko boys really saw shege in Damasak. Kudos to 145 bn.
The pics of slain BHTs are soo gory.

jakeporeshenko:
are you joking ?

doziex:
Nigeria needs to ask US nicely, to step up the quality of their assistance to operation Lafita Dole as they did about a year ago for Amisom.

There was a time when alshabab fighters became very tactically proficient, and repeatedly decimated amisom bases such as those in

El adde, KDF, UPDF, The Ethiopians and the Burundian all fell victim to repeated base crushing and base looting assaults.

The US drone operators noticed a pattern where alshabab gathered and trained specialized commando and suicide units then, a base was overrun.
They used to give interdiction coordinates to KAF, but dumb bombs from fast jets wasn't getting the job done.

So the US stepped up their involvement to interdicting those commando units with armed drones and special forces.

This is the identical scenario in the north east.
The killer drones and spec ops need to get involved as they are in Somalia and also in Mali.

allexpensive:
I don't know how it's done. Some of them do but not all. I think it was an upgrade function but not every single Alpha jet in our inventory has the capability to perform night mission.

There are pilots who have flown night missions before the upgrades too. Prior to mi-35 procurement, we had just mi-17 and f7 performing night missions. F-7 were going throug various stress and with several attacks by bokoharam, A-jets joined some night missions. What I can say is not every single alpha jet in our inventory can go on night missions but we have those that conduct night missions.

EVarn:
I heard that the Nigerian government just signed a defence agreement with Britain that allows about 5000 british rednecked soldiers police our northern borders. Can anyone confirm, because there seem to be a media blackout on the issue.

abiodunalasa:
2nd Picture

Since when did we start using M4- Carbine

BlackBaron:
Merkel in Nigeria next week. Hopefully we can sneak in few discussions about military relations and maybe hardwares.

Odunayaw:

While you guys were busy destroying the thread, Boko boys won a major battle against our boys. May the souls (our boys)of the departed rest in peace. https://twitter.com/donklericuzio/status/1018131934797615109?s=21[/quote]Trending all day

jakeporeshenko:
I bet they’ll arrive in desert camo, is the delivery date 2019 or 2020 ?

Odunayaw:
Well said man, well said

lionel4power:
Our defense Industry is still nascent. Normally the military shouldn't have any business developing it's own equipment.

What they are supposed to do is find a requirement, request for proposal (RFP) from industry players, do evaluation and then acceptance trials accordingly.

But since our defense Industry is still small, they are being forced to develop weapons in-house. It is not uncommon but it is not optimal optimal either.

Anyways I'm very excited right now because i believe in 2-3 years we should have a working prototype flying.
I believe the NA despite the NAF and the nascent defence industry that Nigeria has should build their own helicopter.
This should be tailored made to certain tasks that are peculiar to the NA.
It is a start
let them continue.

Henry240:
You do know i'm 6ft2 right?

If you didn't, now you do!

jakeporeshenko:
They changed it a bit, you saw the proposal I think, this is the approved budget. Approved by the senate 6 months later

nemesis8u:
