wait. I'm confused, did he just say they wanted to start building frigate this year if not for covid. Do they have the capability?

or is there another thing called frigate

kabe1:
Do we have the technical expertise to build missile armed ships?

I doubt it for the following reasons;

1 - We've not had an operational or modern missile armed ship for a long time.

2- We don't have a blueprint to build on. Luerssen FPB57 Fast Patrol Boat was a platform from which NNS Andoni was built.

3- Seaward Defence Boat 3 has shown that we can build modern ships, but building a missile armed vessels comes with it's unique complexities.
Nigeria has demonstrated the ability to master GIS / GPS and precision drone and Rocket strikes, the decision to build a frigate with MISSILES
shouldn't be that far off in terms of Technology transfer from a Land based system to a Marine Based., pretty sure the NAF can help the NN Counterparts.

I don't mind Nigeria building more, but larger SDBs, we have a vast area that needs constant patrolling. We just need to build them faster.

FieldMarshall06:
Nah. After the third one is completed by December. We should be planning for a Corvette of 55-70m length and over 1000 tons. Fully armed, ocean going vessel and suitable for combat.

That should be our target now, not building more SDBs. My opinion.

bidexiii:
Just ignore the dude

Agidi no get medal o

Texman21:
and you think he can say no when they come calling?

Redemption1:
Oga calm down, do you know what happened to me? You're here saying that i chickened out, nda is 5years and i trained for 3years so do you think I'll run when I've trained for 3years? Yeah i was complaining because of the break because I've been serving restriction, I've been in the Academy for almost 2years without going home for break, i don't know if you're an officer, even if you're an officer you won't still understand because colitos(SSC) didn't train at perm site except you're a regular
You mentioned a Senior Officer’s name that treated you .
According to your Standards
You called him nice
You mentioned another Senior Officer’s name
who treated you harshly you called him a bastard.
If by some miracle you are ever readmitted into the NDA you are more likely to remember the Bastard’s lessons.
I don’t know you , and the one thing you got wrong is I don’t wish you well.
That you are wrong . I wish you well and hope you will learn from this painful lesson.
The Major you talked about has probably been in more dangerous firefights than he cares to remember .
He has also seen his fair share of over pampered 2nd Lt.
You should never ever use / compare yourself to a Police Officer Cadet.
I go to Church with a US Family He has probably done close to 10 tours of Afghanistan
Nothing said on Social Media.
Friend of mine 17 Months in ALL the hotspots in the N’East
Nothing said on SM served during the worst years.
Social Media is not the place to vent you are for the most part dealing with people who would give you a pillow and a soft bed with sheets instead of a kick in the ass. I have seen Men die and worked 15 hours straight
Does that count?







I was withdrawn from Academy and you're here saying you're thankful that I'm no longer in the Academy, i don't know you and i don't want to know you but I'll advice you not to be happy for another man's downfall, because this world is a small world and what goes around surely comes around. Even if you're an officer don't you know that you could me dismissed tomorrow? The withdrawn cadet you know today can be the COAS tomorrow and the General you know today can be dismissed tomorrow

Faithful007:
You should also talk about walfare for soliders in the US, proper feeding and how their health is well taken care of. Why don't we copy that? The British military that we copied, does not allow their cadets to do what would lead to their death, their documentaries on how they train their cadets used to be aired on Discovery, bullying would result in expulsion. That someone dies during training is unheard of. Nobody signs his life out in training in foreign countries. It never happens in those countries you mentioned. Courage is not achieved by hardship, it is achieved by proper training on how to handle situations. Physical training is just to strengthen the body. It does not make one more battle wise and sound, you teach cadets proper leadership not harden them. That's why our soldiers are usually wicked yet very undisciplined. The other day, cadets were dancing on the road, blocking traffic. Many cadets I've met are very unruly, and heartless. Those are the kind of people we produce. If it were only SFs I would have not had so much problem, what does sitting on the head for hours achieve in the life of a cadet?

SamuelAnyawu:
But do street kids get into NDA?

UltimateDreamer:
hmm hmm hmm..... the heart of a human being
yes, we are all thinking it but its not worth it , irrespective of Ghana's recent shenanigans, she remains a very strong ally in the West African project..

JohnEagle96:
I love the way NAF responded early it seems they have more intelligence folks providing situational awareness to the command.
More platforms more successes.

MiddleDimension:
Chad has the MIG 29.
We can get maybe 3 SU-30 MKI and then maybe 1 or 2 squadrons of the JF-17. I think we can maintain this with our budget

GabrielYulaw:
You are right of course. Nigeria is buying the JF17 for the same reason it bought the J7. We do things for the short term, long term objectives be damned. Strategic thinking seldom seems to enter the equation. We simply like to waste money and other resources.

SamuelAnyawu:
Gana fit die so? Hmmmmmm

PrinxArthur1:
which one be female drone ?

FieldMarshall06:
Very sure. Even the army got some new toys already delivered that very few peeps are aware of. Those army toys are quite strategic hence men kept quiet.

The NAF had already told us they are expecting UCAV. I just helped complete the info. For the EW & AEW aircrafts, they were long overdue. They are silent orders just like the VT-4 tank.
I opened up cos the aircrafts wouldn't be hidden.
