Good morning to Shekau and his fellow BHTs. Your breakfast is almost ready.

this jet doesn't look familiar or isn't this from NAF

Abohboy:
I disagree submarines are important for keeping the Gulf ofs Guinea safe, currently the whole region has problems with pirates if we could get 5 frigates and about 3 submarines we would be able to watch all the activities happening around the Gulf of Guinea and be able to stop the piracy

unless NA start outsourcing funds from somewhere else all these are fantasy

DeepRealm:
Then we go don blow be that. Lol

dude don't be dumb

S400:
The geopolitics in north africa is not the same as nigeria , the regency of algeria had one of the best navies in mediteraneans sea from 16'th century to 18th century , the golden age of piracy . with a lot of attacks on all the Mediterranean coast from from greece to Britain and Iceland coasts , many dont know this about slavery history , during this era about 1millions 250.000 european slaves were taken by maghrebs pirates .

For after independency Algerian navy had the romeo submarines and nanushka class fregates since 80's , so nigerian navy should buy like south africcan navy , not aim for egypt or algeria it would be a wast of money . 3 modern fregates , 3 modern corvettes , 2 submarines for big units it would be very nice !

will agree with you on the Corvette and fregetes buh scratch the subs we don't need them..
add more warships even a destroyer's if possible

Odunayaw:
You immediately thought I meant immediate threats ba? Don't jump next time.
The threats range of Nigeria, present, future, in the ages to come will never need us to arm like Algeria.

it seems you have a time machine that takes you to the future..
nothing is certain

kabe1:
We don't make enough money. Military spending is not a walk in the park. There could be other budgetary means but until then, we'll have to make the maximum use of our resources.

With our current capacity, the procurements made by the 3 services have been sensible.

However we really need funds.

a country with a population of 200 million +
no 1 economy in Africa
nahhhhhh it's not enough
buh with the little we have must admit we are making progress..
I would suggest becoming closer with China or Russia military wise preferably Russia..
something like Egypt relationship with the US getting more than 1 billion for their military every year from the Us

kabe1:
I don't think it's accurate to compare the Nigerian Navy to Algeria. Algeria has a big Defence Budget of 11 billion dollars a year.

Nigeria Defence budget is always at 2.2 billion dollars, at most 3.3 billion dollars.

As you can see, no room for comparison.

can funds for the NA be outsource from other means cause that paltry budget is a disgrace to the NA..
I blame obasanjo sha

Odunayaw:
Its not Olympics! WTF is wrong with you guys. Countries arm for threats and not show!

must you wait for threats before arming yourself...
what type of thinking is that

S400:
Kelaat beni abbes LPD , algerian navy

it will take close to 10 years for the NN to be up to the Algerian Navy and at that point the Algerian Navy would have gone far ahead

this shi.t is becoming annoying

kabe1:
No offence bro, but this is nonsense.

This has nothing to do with the right procurement, or seriousness as you claim.

We can never have a military as big as Egypt, it's not just a question of money.

However, on finance, Egypt spends way more than Nigeria on defence. Saudi Arabia and the UAE also spend billions of dollars on the Egyptian military.

The US also sends to Egypt 1.3 billion dollars each year for their military.

Egypt is also in a geopolitical environment that demands they have a very large military.

Nigeria can maybe aspire to have a military comparable to Morocco. Algeria is just way too far ahead of Nigeria.

everything still falls down to one single thing money that's the major difference between Egypt and other African nation's plus other factors..
if Nigeria had access to the type of fund's Egypt has then it's very possible not easy will take year's but possible..
if you say Nigeria can aspire to have a military like morroco then having a military like Algeria isn't far fetched it just gonna take time..
NA has that potential

They don't lose all those wars to the poisoning of the Nile. Also you have to consistently poison the Nile for ages and right all their allies. Even Israel go find u come

who in their right mind will poison the Nile when is their only source of water in that region..
remove isreal from your statement a Domino effect will surely occur

Toju200:
That Morocco is one of a kind... I'm totally impressed with their Navy and Air force F16

all north Africa countries military are one of a kind even Libya

Fineman87:
Actually, Egypt is not a victorious country in war. Their no 1 position in Africa is due to the sheer volume of weapons they have, but they never convert them to victory. I don't consider them in the top league in Africa in terms of war. They have lost too many wars in history. Tiny Israel wiped the floor with Egypt repeatedly. They even lost twice to Ethiopia. Ghadaffi's army was well armed, yet he was pounded out of office. I don't know much about Algeria or Morocco, but being powerful goes beyond acquiring shiny weapons.

We should stop allowing foreigners to rank Africa in anything abeg.

The top league nations would be:

Nigeria
Ethiopia
Zimbabwe

I have met many Africans and for me, those three nations have men with balls. They are fierce people. And they have the size and willpower to sustain a war.

** pardon me abeg, this is my thought.

dude with the right procurement and seriousness of the NA we can achieve Egypt status buh Ethiopia and Zimbabwe dude
SA, Tunisia even morroco still exists even Libya is a force to reckon with than Ethiopia and Zimbabwe
buh I agree than foreigners shouldn't be the ones ranking our military

S400:
egyptian army still far ahead of algerian army , the egyptian army has been frighteningly modernizing in recent years with many billions contracts

egypt plays the role of protector of the Arab states of the Persian Gulf , and therefore receive billions in arms each year from them , also plays on peace with israel and also receive more than a billion each year in arms from the usa , support also hafter in libyan war ( i m sur not for free ) . add that egyptian army control a big party of egyptian economy (egyptian economy is not small) so they have a lot of ressources , and even last years russia and china also try to be close to them . so the gap will be larger in the future

and this crazy guys when all countries are fearing economic recession and talking about budgets limitation because of coronavirus , they want to refurbish 43 AH-64E helicopters, with an estimated price tag of $2.3 billion thats 53 millions dollars per helicopters for refurbishment . not new ones

source : https://www.defensenews.com/global/mideast-africa/2020/05/07/state-clears-apache-updates-for-egypt-excess-mraps-for-uae/

with what you've said I don't think the Egyptian army is under any military budget..
cause the way they spend on weapons procurement makes me wonder

S400:
mig 29 SMT , before Algeria returns them to russia in 2008 because of "inferior quality" of certain components

it seems the Algerian military is the only one that can stand toe to toe with Egypt..
if not for corruption we are suppose to be in this position

S400:
lets don't mix wishes and facts


it took USA 4 years to upgrade the USCGC Mellon (WHEC-717) a Hamilton-class high endurance cutter same like NNS thunder from 1985 to 1989 during cold war with soviets, and one more year to finish fire tests . and it was the only Hamilton-class who get the harpoon . the program of upgrade of the others was scrapped in 1992 and they even the antisubmarine warfare capabilities of the cutters was removed after the end of cold war . the mighty US industry took 5 years to upgrade it , and you are telling me that nigerian shipyard will do the same in hours only ?

here some logic questions , try to think just a little about :

- do you have even Harpoon SSM missiles ?
- do you think USA will sell you Harpoons ?
- buying chinese , russian missiles ? will they sell you ? will they upgrade them in nigeria or in there shipyards ? do you think its easy to adapt -Chinese , or russian systems on American ships?
- will the americans even let you make modifications on their ships? with Chinese or Russian experts? the thunder was sold to nigeria under the excess defense article policy so there is end-use restrictions for them .

so lets be realistic , the only way for nigerian navy to get SSM its to buy new ships with this capacity or major upgrade of the P18N OPV's with C802 ssm like benguladesh version , in china , and it will take many months maybe a year or two , nigerian navy dont have SSM capacity now .

I don't understand the relationship between Nigeria and America..
I see it as bondage..
i prefer our military building a relationship with Russia like Algeria..
theirs has no strings attached

jl115:
Who's going to attack Nigeria?

you don't need to have an enemy for you to tighten your defence

[quote author=Fineman87 post=89311344]Purchase what this guy, I talked about fitting if missiles and equipment are in storage. Didn't you read my posts.

And who told you we have no missiles in storage. Unserviceable missiles were destroyed only after restock.

I rest this matter abeg.[/quote






is that guy insinuating that if an attack was to be happen against NN they will fall..
cause they don't have the capability to fend of an attack or even attack
am confused

kabe1:
Well, Nigeria has plans to purchase at least 1 submarine. It is part of the recently approved 1.3 billion dollars maritime security plan by the National Assembly.

Some aspects of the plan have began, we are building Seaward Defence Boat 3, they Hydrographic Ship from France, Helicopters from Italy etc etc

However I don't think we would go ahead with the submarine for now, COVID-19, oil price fall, not a priority.

We cannot build submarines in Nigeria as we don't have the expertise to do that, we are just growing.

we aren't ready for submarines in the Navy..
what we should be thinking about is adding more war ship's, frigates even destroyer's to our fleet...
