We are currently ants of Africa 😁😁😁😁😁
Nigeria is gone my brother

Nigeria doesn't have ballistic missiles. No country in Africa has. Only Russia, the US, India, Iran, North Korea, China and Pakistan are known to have them at the moment.

Ballistic missiles are 'need-to-use' and aren't just developed for the sake of it. That's why Germany, France and the UK have never bothered developing a ballistic missile program.

That said, even if you give Nigeria 130 years, we will never have a ballistic missile program. We simply lack the intellectual, industrial and financial capacity to develop and build one.

Israel
UK
Turkey they all have ballistic missiles

Rexymania:
For where? Na ordinary bullet we get....I don't think any African countries have ballistic, maybe Egypt and SA. The rest of us are under serious colonial influence

Algeria and Egypt have.
Egypt have the strongest military in Africa

Putindbutt:
So it is 30 billion or 39 billion naira that would be used to develop a ballistic missile?. These headless mob sef

You can quote the price let us know na, we are all learning

ritababe:
Yes sir, we fought a war against Cameroon, don't forget.
Also chad invaded one state in the north some years back before they were chased back by the Nigerian military.
We don't need to wait for threat before we will stack up our arsenal.

We never fought a war against Cameroon over Bakassi. We went to court against them and lost.

Like someone told you, a terrorist group invaded Nigeria and not Chad.

Finally, ballistic missiles are extremely expensive weapons to develop. The few countries with ballistic missiles are countries who are equally under the threat of ballistic missile attack. So, they develop it as a kind of balance of terror to deter their enemies from using it against them. It’s the same argument that Iran and North Korea are putting forward to develop nuclear weapons. USA, Russia, China, Israel etc have nukes and some of them are at loggerhead with Iran. So, Iran also needs nuclear weapons to deter Israel and US from ever nuking them.

So you see, Nigeria currently has no threat of ballistic missile attack from any of our neighbors. In fact, no single country in Sub Saharan Africa has ballistic missiles. So, why should we invest billions of dollars into developing ballistic missiles when we are not under any threat of ballistic missile attack? Who do we want to use it to deter?

We are better off spending our meager forex earnings on developing our public infrastructure, health and education system etc. We have absolutely no use for ballistic missiles.

ritababe:
Observing the war between Israel and Iran, with missiles flying everywhere, I can't help but wonder if Nigeria have any ballistic missiles.

Why should Nigeria have ballistic missiles? Those are long range missiles.

Is Nigeria planning to attack Egypt, Algeria or South Africa?

Only the United States, Russia, China, France, India, the United Kingdom, Israel, and North Korea have ballistic missile programs. You could add Egypt possibly. Of the countries listed only North Korea and Egypt do not have nuclear weapons.

We get corruption.. if you send us missile,we will send you corruption.

You dey whyne my nipple? Giant of Afrikasala

If Nigeria had ballistic missles, it will only be used on Nigerians. Tread carefully

They have forgotten that we have DICON that produces weapons.

Some of them don't know where DICON is nor the meaning of DICON.

I don't get, throw more light, ballistic missiles are used for external conflicts not internal.

That's why we need to educated more on this matter.

Cool. Can I read up on it somewhere? Links please.

HenryWilliams:
What indices was used to compare?
Number of men
Ships?
Destroyers?
Helicopter?
Tanks?

Patriotism in the face of mediocrity..
Nigeria has a large standing army
Largest in Africa
You have barely outdated tucano jets probably 5 or so.
Any military grade attack helicopter?
When last did u see a tank roll by?
All.you see are APC fabricated by Proforce.
Don't let me get started about the Navy..
Jeez

People always seem to underestimate the power of a large, motivated Infantry heavy force. In this era of non contact warfare and multi domain ops, its easy to overlook.
But just how the Russo Ukrainian war turned conventional expectations of modern warfare on its head (conventional expectations like modern wars are going to be short and swift) in a similar manner, this trend of underestimating large Infantry forces, even if without force multipliers, will reverse the day an actual war breaks out near you.

A motivated Infantry force can be devastatingly hard to overcome. And you can't win a war without Infantry. Keep a close eye on Iran Israel conflict. Unless there is a ground invasion into Iran, there will be very little long term change in the nature of that nation. And good luck invading Iran on the ground, that geography is no Iraq.

Similarly, unless Nigeria plans on imperial expansion, a good, strong infantry force should be its bedrock. And it rightfully is so. Destroyers and Attack Helicopters are secondary. And Ballistic Missiles are tertiary concerns from a force planning perspective.

We no get cruise missile na ballistic missile

Smiles
We have ballerina

A country that didn't finance it's research institute for new innovation technology, how will that have ballistic missiles for battle?

ritababe:
No they underrate Nigeria, after all we won a war against Cameroon

That was not a war, that was a skirmish.

North Korea has ballistic missiles as well as nuclear weapons.

As someone rightly pointed out, ballistic missiles in the hands of Nigerian military would be dangerous. If it doesn't fall into the hands of Boko Haram, bandits may commandeer it. Even if it's still with the military, it would be used against Nigerian community, especially in the south and middle belt. If you're from thes two regions and still believe you have a country, you'll learn soon enough.

A large infantry without a superior technology is a meat grinder. Russia could withstand Germany not just because of a large army but also a robust industrial complex that immobilized the Germans.

Iraq had a large army but lacked the technology to halt the west. So the large infantry simply dissolved. A motivated infantry can hurt not stop invaders only through a guerilla warfare as seen in Vietnam and Afghanistan but at immense cost. Even such motivation is possible only in countries with homogeneity and not an amalgam like Nigeria whete tribe comes before country.

ritababe:

You can plan for war and NG has planned for war but Nigeria cannot plan for war against a country with ballistic missiles.

You don't plan for highly unlikely events else you get stretched in so many directions and end up having NO plan.

Nigeria have much more devastating weapon than mere ballistic missile...

Nigerian have weapon of mass destruction and currently housed in Aso Rock...!! Any country he enters, he completely destroy from top to bottom...

Yes now, it was used during modakeke/ife war. It was made of local fowl eggs

DICON only produce small arms, assault rifles and machine guns. nothing more nothing less.

ritababe:

Nigeria's military does two things, peace keeping internationally, and oppressing Nigerians at home. You will never really use a ballistic missle in peace keeping (there could be exceptions). Most Nigerian ammunition usage is used in NIgeria against Nigerians.
