While relaying the commendations of the CDS, Gen Leo Irabor and Service Chiefs, he also urged troops to remain disciplined and committed to neutralizing the marauding remnants of BokoHaram/ISWAP terrorists hibernating within the NE region and the fringes of Lake Chad.

Out of hundreds and hundreds of archy firms in SA, why did you choose Boogertman?

I do have some background in 3D Modeling... I do not work for Boogertman + Partners, however, my lady works in the construction industry.

Why ask?

Maybe because they have projects in Kenya?

So do others. But you're right: Boogertman may possibly have a higher profile in Kenya than the others, and I'm over-thinking it.

Remember I posted the God's Window construction project.... he probably reverse searched the image and lead him to Boogertman + Partners, hence he asked questions.

I think that was smart.

I don't think I have some specific reason. Maybe it's because I had seen you say that you have some designs for Armscor plus I had previously seen the image you posted while searching for some international Architectural/ design firms.

Defence giants Leonardo and PolyTech top Nigeria pre-election spending

Defence groups have been making the most of the Buhari administration's splurge on arms ahead of Nigeria's presidential election. Italy's Leonardo has sealed a €1bn deal for its M-346 light attack aircraft, while China's Poly Technologies has also secured a new contract

This is what happened kabe1, the planes are currently being manufactured by Leonardo but the company wants insurance that after the current administration leaves office there would be no problem with funding, Nigeria plans to pay the money in phases and the initial arrangement is for the manufacture and delivery of 12 and the remaining 12 will follow up after the delivery of the first batch is made

For countries represented here if your country was to go for an attack helicopter in an urban warfare let's say like Ukraine, sentiment aside between the 2 below which would you prefer.

It is certain that there are many capable and dangerous military attack helicopters in the world, but what is the best of the best? The two most capable and lethal attack helicopters are undoubtedly the Boeing AH-643 Apache Guardian that serves for the USAF and the Kamov Ka-52 Alligator that is operated by the Russian Air Force. It would be pretty interesting to find out which is the most powerful and advanced helicopter out of these two.

Am no aviation expert but I believe aircraft maintenance is an expensive and continuous undertaking so you generally go with what you can afford.

Surely the Ka 52 alligator. I got a number of reasons.

As a Nigerian, I will love my country to purchase military equipment that can perform for at least a decade and the Ka 52 trumps the ah-64 in my opinion.

We have less restrictions, it has a lower flyaway cost and also has an ejecting seat as a bonus.

The ah 64 might be slightly faster but the ka 52 has a longer range.
