Who has any information on the exact number of tanks and other lands systems we are still expecting from China. It's been almost a year since the first delivery and that only featured a small number of vehicles.

bidex111:
Yeap not one person or company monopolizing the industry, there would be considerable competition.
On the ammunition development that's an area PROFORCE is going to make money from. Even with the DICON industry the military is still importing ammunition for small calibre arms.

Threat level,potential enemies,cost-a relevant story . In the 80s the true nature of M7 came out. He began border provocations with then prez Moi sending his child soldiers on cross border raids. This climaxed in 87 when a participant told me at least a full coy of National Resistance Army boys were slaughtered by the General Service Unit at the common biorder in Malaba town.

M7 continued sponsoring subversives and organising border raids and the 2 countries broke off relations for a while. IIRC it was in the early 90s when the KDF decided upon a peaceful capacity demo using a pair of either F 5s or Phantoms. Staging from Kisumu they did a day light single high speed low level pass and photo recce of Kampala.

The AA boys had gone to lunch and later told a furious M7,"we only saw unclear images on our radar! WE HAD NO WARNING!"
Lesson: you don't need heavy twin engine 80 mn $ Su 35/Rafales/Typhoons surrounded by Senegal,Ghana or Gambia. Pray,tell-who will the NAF use these sexy beast on-Cameroon? I think not!
Neither do you need T 90s or Armatas for BH gun trucks;AFVs,drones and proper tactics are enough.

U.S. Secretary of the Air Force Barbara Barrett was in Nigeria on January 4 – 5, 2021, where she met members of the National Assembly and senior military officials at the Ministry of Defence to discuss the expanding partnership between U.S. and Nigerian Air Forces as well as the importance of integrating human rights and the laws of armed conflict into operations. Barrett also oversees the newly formed U.S. Space Force and discussed opportunities for bilateral cooperation in space.
Through the U.S. Armed Forces programs, Nigerian military professionals are eligible for some of the most intensive education and training available in the world.

youghs:
Only 25 was delivered then

Are you sure about the IFV?

kabe1:
It's a low quality APC, with overheating issues.

It's bullet resistance rating is poor. For reference watch Proforce video on issues faced with APCs imported from the middle east.

The APC was dumped by a state government in the South-East region.

Proforce PF2 would have been better.

kabe1:
That's not PF2

You're looking at Saymar Musketeer imported from Israel.

Retarrded decision but that's where we are.

youghs:
I think these streit APCs are part of the 177 ordered in 2017 or so.

kabe1:
JF-17 is a Chinese aircraft, Pakistan only runs an assembly line.

The reason for the delay is because the Nigerian Air Force only recently paid for the aircraft.

The Tucano deal was signed in late 2019, 6 aircrafts have already been produced.

I really don't see the delays you're talking about.

Odunayaw:
You do know what Patrol and Fire bases mean right?

As for watch towers/post, did you read the part of terrain appreciation (Natural slopes and heights etc)

Odunayaw:
Peccavi delivers a nice plan on the security of the coffin making road of NE. Read

Whyem15:
Reasonable counter-insurgency strategy for Nigeria to learn from...... We can never win this war with force, we have to use diplomacy and economy too. Many in the various IDP camps are BH in formats and sympathizers and for most of them, it is because of the little economic benefits they derive from it. Same thing with the Northwest, we've abandoned the rural areas for far too long. It is time we give local governments autonomy and remove the dependent on state government so that governance can reach the locals.

Lurker4Long:
From a non-Nigerian perspective, the NAF is to be congratulated for this. Here's hoping this is one of many medium choppers the NAF acquires because the war you're fighting requires a lot more of these.

shadowprimezero:
The news was discredited by Otokar itself that Uganda was not the client. The client still remains unknown

O boy, what was that?!!!

They might let them go on the condition of not hurting the kids. I believe the military operations are not through yet and there are a lot of things hidden that we can't know.

Valkrie:
They encircled them and denied them food and water and the kidnappers had no option than to let the boys go free...good analysis and script but how manage in all these, the kidnapper got away with no arrest in an open plane with 24 hrs eagle eyes from the military on them....? If you have ever been to Katsina and nearby state boundary it you would understand what I mean..just like I earlier comment...we all rub powder on each other and pretend all is fine...I just dey laff...!! Very good we analyse and speak english here trying to sound smart...but wetin dey happen dey happen...those in intelligence and on ground here know wetin dey go on and just dey laff too...!!


Note: Don't be surprise tomorrow they get some paid agents and tell them to pretend and claim to be the kidnappers been arrested...e no pass wetin go fit happen..!!
