The Nigerian Military just took delivery of the first batch of assorted armored vehicles. The new delivery was reported on Twitter by current Managing Director of the Nigerian Port Authority Mrs Hadiza Bala Usman. According to Mrs Bala she tweeted that the armored vehicles were part of a large order of about one hundred and seventy seven (177) vehicles with different configurations which 40 has been delivered while the rest will arrive from Jordan before December.
She also said on Twitter that the armored vehicles were Mine protected which indicate that some Mine Resistant and Ambush Protected (MRAP) were among the mix delivered. Although no information concerning the purchase was ever released by the Nigerian Government or the Military but this is not surprising since the Nigerian Government or the military rarely provide information on its acquisition plans.
jakeporeshenko: Okay let's try this again, how many vehicles do you count in this photo?
But it was reported that 177 units were ordered.
First look I thought it was Streit Group Spartan APC, but look cosely the vehicle on the right is not the same as the one in the middle who can identify the vehicle on the right
LTGEN: This is not IPOB.This first of all is an old video comprising the Ex-Niger Delta Militants who went and staged a protest at the Government house sometime in 2016.
So why sahara load it yesterday ? ... Then they are the ones who are stupid
Off topic, going hot in the middle east Israel strickes for the 2nd time Syrian forces. https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=y-dUj08tOes I think that even after ISIS, this region will have some trouble. Syria & Israel
Nigeria needs to realize that there is not a military solution to haram and especially if they continue to torture and kill civilians
Sound nice, fir some moment im hearing stuff like military solution can not end boko haram ... I hope that you guys are joking right ... How in the hell do you want to stop boko haram without military there are no way to stop people with guns attacking you without using guns to... And the only moment they will accept negociation is when you will be winning ... Stop this bullshit, if you want to prevent the creation of groups like boko haram in the futur so yes use the economy/education everything but at the moment the group isnactive there is no way to end a militant group without using military force
ActivateKruger: Yeah, the Agusta AW109 is rubbish. We had 30 of them in 2006, 4 of them just fell of the sky. It performs bad inland since most of South Africa is 1500m above sea level.... Luckily we didn't buy 60 units as initially planned.
Doesnt like the EC-135 but it is way better than AW109, by performance & cost
tdayof: FG should free the Tucanos from uncle Sam if their senators will keep blocking sales. We should focus on somewhere else.
Yes that's for sure our defence relationship with USA is taking us nowhere... The first to talk about human right violation but they are the ones always violating it.

Henry240: A brief look at the Aircraft we might soon start assembling in Nigeria.
The Indonesian Aerospace N-219 is a twin-engine, 19-seater transport aircraft designed by Indonesian Aerospace for multi-purpose missions in remote areas.[2] It is intended to operate in and out of remote, semi-prepared airstrips.
Is it for the Air force or the civilian market, because if it is for the Air Force so why are we building a plane of the same class with yankes ?
tdayof: Trust me we will never go for the Rooivalk. The army will go for platforms from China or Russia.
Z19 right, yes it is lighter, new, good punch... It is more for support to the infantry right ? If the Army is going for a light aviation corps focus on providing support to the infantry so yes it will be a very good choice
