Pretty good actually . The PLZ-45 is one of the world's best selling 155mm howitzers. It's Chinese, I reckon when the requirement for a new 155mm comes, it would be one of the front-runners.

I can't say for sure. Who knows what might happen.

Henry240:
AFSF are like a Task Force, Specialized Task Force. They are made up of guys from the Navy SBS, Air Force Regiment and Army Special Forces. They are organized and funded by the ONSA.

They are not Rangers and they are not SAS. They combine capabilities and perform tasks similar to both the Rangers and SAS, a mix of both.

Yet the M23 were better armed and had a larger force than Boko Harm!!

I was right. I made this comment about last year citing a source. You've now provided irrefutable evidence to back my claim.




The ARA MRAP production line is also stated right there.

Such great news, couldn't come at a better time !! Almost like a Christmas present, I guess the chief of army staff is really a man of his words.

No more hiding place for BHT's inside Sambisa. Job well done to our fighting men and women.

Though easier said than done. It's necessary for our government to have had checks at very local levels to prevent ideologies, especially external types with parallel mindsets to the country's government.
Hez might seem less harmful than shitty state but they remain a threat and when become very entrenched, they suddenly become as powerful as a state in their own way. In Lebanon, Hez and their national army are in some sort of stand offish scenario. The Americans trying to prevent the the further weakening of the state's, try to supply their army with sizeable arms to prevent being usurped by Hez which also gets continued supplies from Iran.

Flotation bags deployed to stabilize a helicopter in the water, at least for long enough to allow occupants to get the heck out of it

Don't mind aljazeera....remember the whole Spycable saga!! They said it was like the next Snowden of leaks, yet when they actually released the documents,there was literally nothing substantial!!

[/quote][quote author=Henry240 post=52166175]In my opinion, we don't need that (water tankers and Replenishment oiler). We are mostly only going to operate in our EEZ, Gulf of Guinea and West-Africa.

We desperately need, again in my opinion, 2 Makassar type LPDs. The Makassars would play a dual role of replenishment and Landing ship.

Henry240:
Government also needs to invest in the North. E mak sense sy u comot dat link, u 4 don fall our hand scatter. Abeg mk u no open our ynash like that again. Na dat thin wey dem dey discuss inside room, no b wetin dem dey bring come parlour we visitors siddon.


You get my point bro?

Henry240:
For littoral and EEZ protection, the Nigerian navy now has 5 OPVs, 33 IPVs/MPVs, 750+ Inshore patrol crafts. If we add the 3 combattante class vessels which are currently undergoing a face-lift, that number rises to 36, if then add SDB III we get a total of 37 vessels. 5 OPVs, 37 MPV/IPV and 750+ Onshore Patrol Crafts, 5 A109e helicopters, 2 AW-139 and 4 Bell helicopters, 11 in all.

The number of assets available is enough to patrol Nigeria's 5,000 creeks and Exclusive Economic Zone.


We need to refocus our efforts in rebuilding our combat fleet. We should add 4 Fast Attack Crafts, 3 Landing Crafts, 2 Corvettes, 2 Frigates, a Hydrographic Ship, 2 ASW/mine counter measure helicopters. Possibly retool navy AW-139s to ASW.
