Then it would make sense to Nigeria acquiring amphibious like light amphibious tanks and other vehicles of that class.

Tracked vehicles are heavily armoured increasing their weight.

Henry120:
Anything below making them right here at home is an exercise in futility.

Yeap I agree with to an extent ?
But what about ur immediate needs, or we should all fold our arms while people r dieing, nigeria should start building her own local defence industry that's the best way boost our military strength yet we still we need to meet our immediate needs !

MikeCZAR:
Tracked vehicles lack mobility.

They are heavily armoured.

Have you read about the "relentless pursuit tactic" which the mercinaries/PMCs used in Nigeria with their trained strike force?

No no no, you buy some, and build some. People are getting killed in Pakistan, India, Turkey, Iran...... it however hasn't stopped them from building their industries.

Sorry am quaoting u for the 2nd time but I was shocked my ur statement u should not be d one talking like these !?
Tracked MBT's/IFV's don't speed in desert terrain they fly go to youtube and watch there video's wheeled vehicles would never dare that infact I av not seeing. Wheeled vehicle do not so what mobility are you talking about ?
In moody/swampy terrain wheeled vehicle get stalked but tracke vehicles smiles and say these is what am designed and meant for !!! And in thick vegetation they don't dare it !
What mobility are u saying ?
Tracked vehicles are rugged and designed for all terrain. Warfare !!!!

bidexiii:
Are u talking about most of these countries ; pakistan,indian,turkey,iran .... SoRry what war these countries r fighting ?
Let us tell our self the truth untill BH is bitting to almost zero, that's when u can now start thinking of developing ur own local industries ?

MikeCZAR:
Did you just ask what wars are Pakistan, India, Turkey and Iran are fighting?

bidexiii:
Yeap u can answer the question ! What war are they fighting how many soldiers av they deployed ? And who are they fighting ?

MikeCZAR:
You know at times it is good to put patriotism aside.


Most tracked IFVs are heavily armoured compared to wheeled IFVs increasing their weight. They are also difficult to deal with in the field if broken down.

Majority of the countries which use tracked IFVs need them for urban warfare, where armour is needed not speed.

Most tracked vehicles maximum speed is below 89km/h compared to wheeled IFVs which can hit 100km/h+.

MikeCZAR:
Do you know much Nigeria spends of defence?

You think socio-economic needs should be overlooked cause "you want locally owned defence technology"?

bidexiii:
Yeap u can answer the question ! What war are they fighting how many soldiers/battalion av they deployed ? who are they fighting ? And an estimate of field mechanism/equipment they av deployed ? .... Pakistan,turkey,india and iran ?!

bidexiii:
Who is talking about patriotism here ? Or u r the one who does not know what his talkimg about here !
wheeled vehicles are only good on strong ground/road, hence limiting there performance ! Its a common sence they get stalked in the desert,swampy/muddy area and can't be used in thick vegetation !
And tracked vehicle fly in desert area,glide in muddy area and crush anything on there part in thick vegetation !
Even a lain man knows that ?

stillchris:
Dude. Nigeria is not south Africa

Different climate

Different environment

And different military requirements

What Nigeria acquires is not for SANDF.

There are areas in the sambisa forest that are marshy and not accessible to wheeled vehicles. So our requirements are diverse.

I told you to stop acting like you know stuff cos most times you come off sounding ignorant.

Your knowledge seems to be confined to south African affairs

stillchris:
Dude, just shut up

You are not making sense

MikeCZAR:
Tell us where will the Nigerian armed forces find money to support local defence R & D ?

MikeCZAR:
Try do a bit investigation before you form your argument!

Cause right I just feel like telling you "YOU DON'T......."

denisfidha:
On the contrary I don't have an attitude, I believe very strongly in African invention, and every-time I see government ignore a young mind who come up with brilliant inventions, my heart just bleeds with pain.

I just have a different view about we Africans, in my view, we seem to be satisfied with the small achievements we made in the past. Yes we might have made steel and metal, they(non-africans) used steel to make engines and steam to power trains and then later made electricity and powered cars.while we were satisfied with donkeys and horses for transport. the more important question is where are we now? what have we done with the steel weapons that some of us made? Mathematics and architecture was born in Egypt, where can you find the greatest architectural fetes moderm times? or the reas mahematicl and egeneering achievments? not Egypt. We shouldn't be satisfied with history. we have the resources to achieve great things, but we have to get serious and develop an appetite for new inventions


e.g.
Kenya Air-force which up to date, still boasts of an F-5 that rebuilt from scratch - something which Northrop had said it couldn't be done anywhere else outside of their main factory) https://nyambegagisesa./2015/04/10/how-kenya-air-force-set-history-by-repairing-jet-fighter-that-outside-factory/ its a very interesting story!


So they rebuilt it from scratch. A great achievement, but what has happened since then? the guy who built it was the best of his class while studying in USA. We have the knowledge required, by now we should have had an air-force engineering school dedicated to coming up with at-least a prototype of a low cost fighter that will satisfy the requirements our Air-force. But look a us, still dependent on foreign tech.

Am just passion for that achievement that will say. Yes we have arrived and we are ere take the word by storm, and nothing will stop us

d way y speak is so funny,wot do u mean DAT were will we find d money.d money is dere wot is lacking is just d political will.n pls wot made u tink we don't have d money. really waiting for your reply

You should. Be the one first to do ur investigation 1st because u r clueless and no point to butress ur point !
Cos right now iran,pakistan,indian and those countries u mentioned r fighting no war !

MikeCZAR:

You're delusional.
