spoke my mind.

Nigeria knows how to kill it's own industry.

same reason DICON is still the way it is after 53 yrs

Henry240:
177 units of MRAPs, not a bad number nonetheless.

jln115:
Sorry buddy but if you look at current trends, the Tank will be long gone before modern ATGMs become obsolete. Fact is APS are never going to work 100 % of the time....and although its great to have an APS, any ATMG fired from an aircraft it's bye-bye tank...since even the most modern APS find it very difficult to track objects fired from vertically above.

jln115:
I didn't say Tanks are obsolete(yet) but ATGMs certainly the much better investment, firstly even the best APS can't deploy vertically thus any atgm fired from either a steep hill,mountain or aircraft your fvcked, not to mention APSs are susceptible to clutter so when you are in a mountainess or Forrest terrain your fvcked.

So yeah ATGMs are a much better bet.

jln115:
Hope you meant the tank is becoming obsolete, since all relatively modern atgms will penetrate the Armata.

Russia will sell if you are ready to buy. The problem is our government. Are we willing to order for a minimum of 10? That's 37 million USD
The navy needs things, the Airforce too.

There was a time we had enough money but lack leaders with foresight.

Odunayaw:
Putin would probably fall of his bed while laffn at d bolded

Armata for export?..u're kidding me ryt
Anyway..for the foreseeable future of d battle landscape in Africa...there will be no tank wars in our backyard so any 3rd gen tank would do just fine

bidexiii:
we rather go for T-90S & IFV both wheeled and tracked (3rd gen equipment)

MiddleDimension:
the sambisa is not a forest. I wonder why we keep calling it a forest. There are no forests in Northern Nigeria; we have them only in the south.

tdayof:
“I can confirm to you that we are now very close allies to the Nigerian Armed Forces in the fight against Boko Haram.” He disclosed that France is ready to sell ammunitions to the Nigerian Armed Forces, saying “We have no restrictions on that, we can sell any kind of equipment to the Nigerian government without any restrictions.”

Kolawole81:
The size and scale ad the Sambisa forest is mind boggling.

Seriously I can't even decide if it would be a fair fight, if Nigeria faced cameroun with the Civil defense Corps or the the Federal road safety.
All I know is they'd still get raped either way

Henry240:
It is no longer news. It has now been confirmed, the Nigerian Navy would receive a minimum of 3 units of Eurocopter AS565 medium weight helicopters.

I'm sure Navy pilots are as excited as i am.

Official news first provided by @Jakeporeshenko.


Hopefully the Navy grows the number to a minimum 6 units. That should give us a pretty 16 helicopters for the Navy.

Some of you should start feeding your IDPs living in Borno and relocation those living in Kamer before talking of a regime change in a better organized,more powerful country like Cameroon . See me citizens of an unstable country (from Boko to pipeline bombers to Fula herdsmen ) talking about the supposedly threatening instability of Cameroon ... lmfao if there should be an instability in Cameroon post Biya (which is very unlikely to happen ) Nigeria will just suck it up like we sucked it up during Biafra absorbing millions of Nigerians ,the same way we do with car citizens and Chadians and the same way we are doing with Nigerians . Anyone dreaming about funding groups to remove Biya or any other president simply does not love himself and his brethren... you might twist it the way you want but bakassi is very fresh reminder of what will happen again should Nigeria try to grab anything from us talk less about funding terrorism on our soil ,not only we will outflank your obsolete army but we will dine in Lagos and Abuja in less than 2weeks while sending.

I would like to see an infograph for US,

Henry240:
20 Amphibious vehicles, not 20 Armoured vehicles.

This means we are seeing the Eurocopter for sure. I wonder what type of aircraft they are going for.

Guys, a Swedish firm is interested In getting into the Nigerian defence sector.


The firm is a manufacturer of light-weight, high performance gyro-stabilized electro-optical systems with both EO and IR capabilities. And also, small, light-weight long-wave thermal imagers.

What are the ways they can fully tap into the Nigerian defence space?

nemesis you are needed here ooo

Runx:
I hope so too. There are technology that needs clearance from countries before one can integrate into an airplane. It took a little while for Russia to clear us to acquire the engine to be fitted on the JF17. Engines have been delivered to Pakistan. Sometimes it's not about money but sharing sensitive technologies.

MikeCZA:
Dude that's because France supports those puppets!

Try aligning yourself with other countries if you are a former French colony soon you'll be asking France to help stop a rebel knocking at the gate of your capital city.
