I'm even ready to learn now, please lecture me on how this deal is a good deal.

Crayfish09:


You are even taking things too far. Nigeria hasn't done 1/20th of the atrocities USA has done. Nigeria needs to grow balls.

USA has a childish way of threatening countries that buy weapons from others, especially Russia. They want to be the sole provider while treating buyers like trash. And in most cases, their value doesn't match the price they charge.

I hope we go somewhere else and the money isn't pocketed..

You guys should calm down na. The online media only got their report from foreignpolicy.com, no major source have confirmed the report.
I saw the report yesterday and immediately searched everywhere to see if another media house reported it and I couldn't find any.
For now no major news outlet have reported the news.

Stormtrooper11:

Do the U.S use its law enforcement agencies on its people? Does it allow the extra judicial killings by its police on its people nearly on a weekly basis? Does it government allow organised bandits and terrorists kidnap school children, ravage its lands for a decade?
Damn. People will still argue. We should be truthful. Our government is slow in reacting

Faithful007:
Not true. They only threaten those who want to eat from both sides. Especially when it comes to serious equipment. Turkey had entered into the F35 program and was still seeking to buy S-400 missile systems. Iraq did similar stuff as well. F35 fighters are still the most advanced jets currently.

GeneralFarouq:

Nigeria grows balls, Nigeria gets invaded, sanctioned etc....
Who knows they may claim we have WMD, and second Iraq happens
Let's our politicians cautiously maintain these tiny ones we have

Crayfish09:


1) yes, many law enforcement agents kill their citizens especially black civilians and many get away with it. Are we living in a different universe? Secondly, Trump recently pardoned convicted criminals who killed civilians for fun in Iraq.

2) yes, they not only allow but encourage extra-judicial killings of people. You are more likely to be shot by a US officer than by a Nigerian officer because unlike in our case, anybody could be armed in the US so they are more ruthless.

3) the Free Syrian Army, Al Nusra, etc all enjoy US support even though they have been caught behaving like Isis on many occasions.

This is just the tip of the iceberg self.

Stormtrooper11:

Stop mentioning Iraq and Syria. Those are warzones. Let's talk bout mainland United states.
You talk about black people been killed. Yeah. We all know about racism in the U.S. Nigeria is a predominantly populated by black people. What is the excuse? Tribalism We have no excuse for extra judicial killings. Just because a first world country commit crimes, doesn't justify us doing the same thing. Mind you, Nigeria is worse. You talked about weapons in hands of civilians in the U.S. Do u have any idea the large amount of weapons in circulation in Nigeria? It might not be as much as the amount in the U.S,but it is a bad situation cos we have no data and majority ain't licensed.

Whyem15:



Let me put it this way, for the sake of discussion, understanding the insecurity issues in Nigeria and the challenges government has been facing to restore order and bring about peace, and with the current state of the Nigerian army, what would you advise the army use such rare allocation to get. For the sake of discussion

GreenOris:
Like WTF is wrong with the arm forces?
there is currently a large military operations in the bushes of kaduna state, flushing Bandits and kidnappers and they are silent about it, these include mobile police, army air force and the glorious PANDAS, but they have been keeping it hush from the media.

bidexiii:


Can you just hear yourself
It's over 100% over necessary at this point . Before you pass your judgement we are not 100% sure if the attack helicopters where for the NA, we are just speculating.
People like you would criticize that they are not equipping the army, now that they are equipping them you're complaining. What kind of human being are you

For that i need to be first need to be in a paygrade where i can be briefed on the various technical economical geopolitical requirements/compulsions and then make a decision to the best of my capabilities

Feel free to recommend me

Anyways let me give a "uninformed" opinion for whats it worth

I would have gotten Mi17s with guaranteed after sales support for atleast 5 years direct from OEM, organize them into 3-4 air cavalry (air assault) groups with well equipped & trained troops solely for conducting behind the line operations be it interdiction of supply lines , hit and run, reinforcement , ground holding till linkup etc

How do i put it , successfull and effective CI/CT ops are best done through close contact combat, mission yields are more generally, insurgents / terrorists usually are the ones to take the initiative to attack, you need to reverse it, find them and hit them on your terms for that rapid vertical deployment is the need of the hour

Fair warning i repeat it is a uninformed opinion with no inputs as to the actual compulsions / requirements / idea on ground realities . It is easy to give opinions especially when ones neck is not on the line , there are worth a dime a dozen in real life , actually worthless

Stormtrooper11:

Do the U.S use its law enforcement agencies on its people?

Nemesis4you:


Yes like using its citizens as guinea pigs for all kinds of experiments eg mind control

youghs:


I don't really understand what they tend to achieve with the media silence. A retired airforce pilot was on Arise TV the other day saying the NAF jet crashed on the last day of a 6 days operation and we didn't even hear anything up until the jet was shot down.

They need to understand the fact that showing strength and actions of the military serves as a huge deterrence to several groups that are aspiring to be like BH.

Xbee007:

It is a foolish buy, definitely. That helicopter started production at the early stage of Vietnam war.

Roan77:


Who are the PANDAS?

yoged:
if its were not for NA. Is it for boko haram or ESN or Yoruba Nation agitators or bandits. ?

Stormtrooper11:

Verdammt and you have information and proof bout this
