General specifications of Nigeria's locally built IPV.

The vehicle was launched during the Nigerian army's research and innovation summit earlier this year.

The vehicle participated in this year's army capability demonstration in Sambisa forest.

The vehicles has seen been deployed in the Theater of operation.


The infantry patrol vehicle (ipv) with off-road mobility and a crew of three was one of the star attractions at the summit. Weighing 650kg and powered by 150-200 Horse Power Engine, the ipv has a 130 kilometre per hour capacity.
It provides force multiplier and the required flexibility to undertake all tasks across the entire spectrum of military operations, including range fighting, fast action mission, urban and border patrols.
The ipv is fitted with two machine guns and have been deployed in all the theatres of operation."

My thoughts tnks

Saw a pic of USAF C130 in Maiduguri taken few hrs after recent BH attack on the city, hopefully we don't see USSOF in form in area

Henry240:
Bro, we know the vehicle na. We have seen it multiple times. It is not exactly new.

IbnSultaan:
Maiduguri: Unusual military convoy, paint spec looks like Cameroonian folks

Well if they get it, and operationalize their existing ships they could put a battalion and armor ashore... Which in the ECOWAS region is a potent force

Problem is it would, as you say, be a sitting duck. Plus, they would have no way of effective re-supply for sustained operations.
These ships would be required for the West African Region,there it would not be expected to meet with any
meaningful attack, moreover there is a real and urgent need for Nigeria to be able to Ship at least 1/2 an amphibious battalion in a"Hurry".
The NN strategic plan has repeatedly called for this capability, when this Ship is bought it is not expected to" naked", it will be protected either by the NAF or if it deploys into more dangerous waters by it's Allies.
The Gambia mission only highlighted the need for these two types of Ships to be brought forward.
Nigeria is also expected if the Economy continues to improve to get it's first set of Submarines in the next 7-10 years according to the NN's Strategic plan , regardless of that, these two ships are needed now and if the relationship between Indonesia and Nigeria continues with Indonesia bluntly asking for more of Nigeria's crude oil then it is inevitable it will happen.

sconp:
that's why I asked here cos I believe someone here would have an idea .

Tinfoil:
Its sad that Nigeria is insisting on a military solution to haram. Because they are gaining territory they think they are winning but they are actually not, its just that the haram are adapting, blending into the population and resorting to attack cities, eventually they will start going after the capital. What's worse is how brutal the army is towards civilians which ensures they will not cooperate or offer information

Moving on to some cherry Nigerian Air Force news, the crashed notwithstanding.


FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM: CAS CALLS FOR SUPPORT FROM CIVIL ORGANIZATIONS

The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has called for support from relevant civil organizations in the current war against terrorism and other forms of criminalities in Nigeria. He made the call during his operational visit to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) 115 Special Operations Group (SOG) in Port Harcourt, where he noted the critical role being played by the Unit towards Nigeria’s security. He added that the visit would enable him to assess the level of progress on the ongoing reactivation of 2 NAF helicopters towards increasing the NAF’s operational efficiency. The CAS expressed his satisfaction with the evolving unique partnership between military and civil organizations, as being witnessed in the Unit. “It is gratifying to note that the technical crews of the NAF and AeroContractors are working together to reactivate the NAF Dauphin Helicopter”, he said.

The CAS thanked the management of AeroContractors, Overland Airways and Innoson Group, all of who are rendering various technical services to the NAF, at no or minimal costs to the NAF. He described the gesture of the 3 companies as being exemplary and worthy of emulation. “At times like this, the nation and the military, in particular, require all available indices of power to ensure total victory. We therefore urge other relevant civil organizations to take a cue from the aforementioned organizations by supporting the NAF in the fight against insecurity in Nigeria”, he added. Air Marshal Abubakar also commissioned a new residential building, designed to accommodate 120 new and incoming recruits. The block was named after Late NAF09/24099 Aircraftwoman Abdulmalik H for her gallantry and sacrifice to the nation, in line with the NAF's desire to preserve the memories of fallen heroes and heroines. Late Abdulmalik died on 25 November 2012 during a suicide bomb attack at the Jaji Cantonment Kaduna by members of the Boko Haram Sect.

The CAS and his entourage witnessed a demonstration by the Unit’s Rapelling Team after which the CAS interacted with the officers as well as the airmen/airwomen in 2 separate meetings. According to Air Marshal Abubakar, the best of ideas are not necessarily limited to the top hierarchy and hence his decision to interact with the personnel. The operational visit continues tomorrow, 8 July 2017.
To my NIGERIAN BRETHREN:
Please do a mental history search
The building named after the Late NAF09/24099 Aircraft woman Abdulmalik H could this actually be the first building in the History of the Three Armed Forces to be named after a female officers, just curious not trying to offend thought just occurred to me.

Egyptian soldier killed today in sinai

jakeporeshenko:
NAF has changed, 2-3 years ago we would have heard this story 3 weeks late from a shady source quoting an officer that "wishes to remain anonymous" without any clear details of the platform involved or if lives were lost.

Xbee007:
U forgot to add, in addition to cleaning up, French forces were busy bleeping and raping the locals they were sent to protect. What an irony, but I guess no one cares about that, certainly not a news people would want to share.

Of what..........

Henry240:
I stopped following that handle a year ago. He totally wrecked it, and basically turned it to where he goes to drop daily rants about every day things.

When he could have stayed on and monitised the blog, he choose to throw that away, and instead rant on twitter.

Zachary999 was the man, always on point.

Henry240:
He didn't say specifically. Here is his VIP pass to MILEX Defence Exhibition in Belarus.

When Beegeagle made a comment about the number of shows we attend with "nothing to show", in response to Beegeagle he made this comment referring to the MILEX event in particular.

jakeporeshenko:
yeah thats the guy ! i honestly wonder what he does for a living, he was also among delegation to the military exhibition in Belarus, apparently a lot of goodies were ordered.

RANDOM PICS

Henry240:
Nothing wrong with that. The Nigerian flag is also present on thier shoulders. The lads are just proud with the training and perhaps hospitality they received in Russia.

Besides, only a very few guys wear that flag.
