Nigerian Military Should Learn To Build Those Iranian Missiles by Kushites(op):
The Nigerian military needs to start learning how to build those Iranian-style missiles and drones.

They are inexpensive, but can cause so much damage to any so-called superpower that tries to impose its will on us.

We also need to build those underground cities and storage areas like Iran, to keep the missiles safe from any stupid foreigners wanting to bomb them.

Iran has shown that you don't need a trillion dollar budget to defend your territory from these western bullies.

We need to build cruise missiles that can reach every European capital, plus America.

And of course some cooperation with Pakistan, India or China coud give us early nuclear weapons capability, just to top it all up.

Can't we hide and do it?

There is all kinds of forest regions and other favourable topography to do that sort of thing beyond the reach of any oyinbo mumu looking for his fada..

Nyen nyen nyen... Mr Poverty Reduction....You don't know that your Poverty is ultimately tied to your having to answer to these people?

Having to play their game?

Your type are so used to subservience to the west that you see it as normal and a matter of course. But it's actually by dropping your subservience like China, through inter alia, a powerful military, that you get rid of Poverty.

Because with military confidence, your economic policies become more nationalist and bolder against imperialist demands.

grin grin grin grin grin grin grin Eliminate BokoHaram, ISWAP, and Lakurawa first. Then proceed to eliminate bandits like Turji, and co.


Before you can talk of developing weapons for external defense.

Why does it need to be one before the other?

Why not simultaneously?

You people have this village way of reasoning..
okay, you that have the city way of reasoning, eliminate them simultaneously. Why haven't you put your city brain into use to help in solving the insecurity challenges "simultaneously"? Or does your brain go on break during the first half of the year? grin

City brain that you are using to ask questions that even kindergarten kids will never stoop so low to ask. Chai

Nigeria is not at threat of external aggression...


Maybe in the future yes. But like someone said you should start by crawling first before thinking of running.


You can't be thinking sophisticated when you can't even get the basic things right.

Military research and development cost money... money which can be put to good and better use especially... back to my first paragraph!

God bless you. Let's start with producing things that can improve our living conditions and that can be exported to fetch us foreign exchange. Basic household gadgets, we are still struggling to produce, that one is talking about drones. Even as cheap as the Iranian drones are, it's too expensive for a nation like Nigeria (especially as you said we are not under threat of any major external aggression). $21,000 usd per drone for a country which more than 60% of its working population earns N100,000 ($65) or less per month.

This is crazy. Is Nigeria the only country with insecurity?

Do you know there is more insecurity in America than in Nigeria?

India, Pakistan, and all these countries building these stuff, you think they don't have problems in those countries?

In India and Pakistan they take light everyday, and they have terrorists.

Yet they are building missiles, nuclear weapons, and even going to the moon!

Would you like to first of all compare the GDP of these countries you mentioned with that of Nigeria?

Secondly, those two countries you mentioned are arch rivals and have genuine threats of external aggression that the wise poster mentioned above.

You are right...

Nigeria should be thinking production. Massive production... but not the kind the op is thinking.


Normal and basic production.... Instead of drones and military hardware for example we should be investing in steel which would contribute majorly to our industrialization.


What the op is saying is almost wishful thinking!
Re: Nigerian Military Should Learn To Build Those Iranian Missiles by LibertyRep: 3:02pm On Apr 03
Necessity and the need for survival pushed Iran to that stage. Look at the soft life of their other GCC neighbors.

If the technology used in the civil war was preserved and worked upon, we should have gone far.

But then, even Ajaokuta isn't functional, Gosh!

We still have a long way to go.

Pakistan's GDP is $370 billion and Nigeria's is around $300 billion, with similar population, so....?

Also, no one is saying we should spend a huge amount of money on this.

Just a decent stockpile of long-range missiles to serve as a deterrent.

We should be able to develop some of these cutting edge things even without there being an immediate threat.

Or is it when the threat surfaces that we will start learning? By then it will be too late!
Re: Nigerian Military Should Learn To Build Those Iranian Missiles by Dogalmighty17: 3:15pm On Apr 03
Have you seen our military? Do you think there's any smart person among them? The level of expertise, knowledge and skill set required to successfully develop, launch and target a missile is not what the Nigerian military will ever be capable of.

Number one, you are talking about hypergolic fuels. We lack the ability to handle that safely.
Then you talk about the targeting system and the onboard electronics. Should I even say more here?

Then you talk about the explosive warhead itself. We can't even make gun powder for bullets. How then can we develop high end explosives used in missiles?

A military thats largely an arm of BH and ISWAP.

Ever?

Your low self esteem is tragic. You need therapy.

Number one, you are talking about hypergolic fuels. We lack the ability to handle that safely.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

WHAT RESEARCH HAVE YOU DONE TO MAKE SUCH A CATEGORICAL STATEMENT?

Mr "We Can't" ....Keep up with the news before making such silly statements. Nigeria is not standing still.

The Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON) partnered with SPARTA to begin manufacturing gunpowder by August 2026, with plans to produce 30 million rounds of ammunition annually to reduce import reliance.

All that did not prevent us from building all the infrastructure you enjoy today, from thousands of schools and universities to flyovers to brand new capitals to satellites to world's largest refinery in the making, to indigenous vehicle manufacturers, which you ignore as if it all dropped from the sky after the British colonial looters left a big fat bush here.

IF WE COULD DO ALL THAT SINCE THE 1960 BUSH WE INHERITED, WE CAN DO MORE, AND WILL.
Re: Nigerian Military Should Learn To Build Those Iranian Missiles by TheMensch(m): 6:50pm On Apr 03
I agree with the Op whole heartedly. Though I know deep down within me that politics, tribalism and religion will not allow Nigeria to achieve something like this, I still like this idea. However, it is not possible for us to develop these kind of things without the knowledge of the bullies, and they will kill it before it even starts.

For those criticising that we need to crawl before running, do not forget that there was actually a time in this world that Nigeria was either the highest producer of aluminum or second largest to Russia. There was actually a time we used to have relatively stable electricity. But now where are we? You see, it is not as if Nigeria lacks the know-how to do so many things, the problem has always been tied to poor leadership which is driven by politics, tribalism and religion. And these leaders always use these things to keep the poor poorer so that we will not even have the time to think of higher things.

Nigeria should develop missiles so Boko Haram, ISWAP and fulani bandits can collect it from the military and use it against civilians. Your country is borrowing to fund the budget but yet you want to develop missiles 😂😂😂
Abi na sand them dey use do missiles 😂😂😂
If you like don't fix the insecurity first be running mouth as if the West is your problem.

Ditch your stupid smiley emojis and stop talking ignorant rubbish.

Missiles are kept in the front or back yard for bandits to collect, in your village thoughts.

The America you worship, do you know they owe trillions of dollars?

One of the reasons why we have so much debt hanging on our neck is because they don't want us to be self dependent, we can't have missile why America and other EU nations are still standing.
