Number of warships don't tell the whole story,if not a man with 1,000 canoes with a few simple guns mounted on them can claim he has the largest navy in the world. The power and degree of technical advancement of the warships matter,not just their total number

So NIGERIA has 152 warships, that is difficult to believe. I think Nigeria isn't that small the way most Nigerians think

Hard to believe, fishing boats would have sounded more believable as far as Nigeria is concerned.

As of early 2026, the Royal Navy remains a premier global force, anchored by two Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers, 4 Vanguard-class nuclear-armed submarines, 6 Type 45 destroyers, and 11 Type 23 frigates. The service operates approximately 63 commissioned ships, supported by the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, with a strong focus on carrier strike and, advanced, under-sea capabilities.

I know you are used to bad news about your country but nigeria have one of the best military setup in the world, if you doubt it look at how quickly they quashed the coup attempt in Benin republic using air firepower .

China is jejely increasing it war capabilities while it also haven't seen any conflicts that'll cost it a lot lately while other are depleting and thinking about restocking....China is just increasing their stockpile.

Growing in Economy and growing in strength.... that's why the US is seeing China as a serious threat.

Stop deceiving yourself. The biggest and best warship in Nigeria, NNS ARADU was commissioned in 1982, 44 years ago, while our newest warship is a TOKUNBO, acquired from China over 10 years now.

Nigeria is strong in west Africa, not Africa!

It is for oil bunking (stealing), not for any war.

Have you ever seen warships in Nigeria before? The warship in Nigeria isn't up to 5 and it belongs to boko haram and fg

Don't be too carried away by china war inactivity, as for US and Israel, beside their aims of maintaining military superiority against other countries, they're also using those minor wars to test run the capabilities of their weapons and makes upgrades of them when necessary.

When was the last time you heard a US battleship was blown in conflict.
It's one thing to increase quantity but quality is another thing.
When it comes to nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, one country is supreme

China has been poorly rated and underestimated from the poll above.

God forbid, but a war against the 2 most powerful nations globally will surely but arguably see China emerging victorious.

More men, more machine, more brutally and remote allies

What of the US air defense systems used by Israel, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Cyprus?

They were also rendered useless.

Abi u wan argue? Video evidence too plenty.

Here's a video of US Patriot air defense system attacking itself. That's how useless they are.


knows and has made it known that their air defence cannot stop missiles 100%,
But it's effective to stop over 90%, and that is what has been happening.

Enough of these analyses.
China are just wasting resources.

Any property you don't use is a waste as it will continue rusting away
You want them to relax so the US can bully them? The US can never invade China because China is well-equipped. So the war equipments are serving its purpose.

The Chinese made weapons used by Iran against US airplanes were rendered useless in this present war.
Use your common sense. When your opponents have combined heavier firepower your weapons can never save you no matter how advanced and sophisticated it is.
During world war 2 Germany had superior weapons but they still lost.
