As expected, there are claims that the sources are false and envious. grin grin

Luckily, these are secondary sources and the primary source is SIPRI. Also, "under licence" means you will have the right to give the Cougar another name and to also include some variants.

You probably went for the cheapest licence you could find; and that was one from Streit. So pathetic that they haven't even thought of withdrawing it if you will work in a workspace like what I posted.

LOL, all these months you kept claiming as yours what was in fact not yours. grin grin grin grin grin

SIPRI is refering to engine imported, same way Denel too imports engines.


According to on the FINAL AUTHORITY the Nigerian army, Igirigi is ours....


"The Igirigi Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) is the Nigerian Army’s locally manufactured armoured personnel carrier.

Designed and manufactured by the army Corps of Engineers , the APC was first introduced to the media during the 2012 Nigeria Army Day celebrations (NADCEL). While actual specs of the vehicle are still undisclosed, observers noted the remote control weapons station, and its IED deflecting V shaped hull.

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika, said the local production of APC had saved the nation at least 30 per cent of the cost of the foreign version and that the unveiling of the APC was part of the ongoing reform in the military and in line with the transformation agenda of the Jonathan administration."

Nigerian army engineers built Igirigi from a Nigerian prototype totally different from Couger PHOTO EVIDENCE BELOW compares the two products, both clearly different....gringrin

LOL what rubbish! Prove it!

Prove that manufacturing under licence now means importing engines. You make zero sense. The Cougar engine was imported for the Igirigi? Really? What engine is that. Please dig yourself into the hole. Prove it.

The story is very simple. Streit gave you a licence to assemble and rename their Cougar for your purposes. Streit have a presence in Nigeria and their engineers worked with you on your variant of the Cougar, which you named Igirigi and tweaked in places. But in the end, it is an under-licence-Cougar copy, as designed by Streit and wrecked by Nigeria. You have no money for R& D and could never have afforded to develop a half-decent APC. Enter Streit and voila! Ugly Igirigi.

Fact is that Igiri is a copy - if igugug is a Nigerian design, then the Badger is a South African design grin grin grin

Do you really think you have knocked us out of the market? With a handfull of these licence built vehicles? Dude, we just sold Ratels to YOUR NEIGHBOR you cant even corner the market in your own region and you think you can compete globally, Ratel is used by 12 countries around the world!! cheesy

You need to get back in touch with reality.

Southie Badger design and Finlands Patria design look exactly the same ! Then all 5 Badgers existing today were fully built in Finland and imported by South Africa fully built....DENEL has NO Badger production facility you foooool !!!! grin grin

Cameroon bought second hand Ratels you dummy, there is no second hand Igirigi in the market ! They got what they wished for, second hand product.

Nigeria is exporting brand new Igirigi to Libya that has more money and a more powerful military than Cameroon.

Nigerian defense industry has started capturing middle east oil rich Arabs market !!!

AMEBO research is sponsored by the NAF with contributions from the Cranfield University in the United Kingdom. However, more funding and political support is required to develop the UAV further. Looking at the 2013 budget of NAF, amounting to $420.6 million, no significant funding seems to be available, with over half of its budget being allocated to the re-activation of a number of aircraft in the inventory, which have been mainly grounded in the period following NAF’s attempt to topple General Ibrahim Babagida’s regime.

The APCs were fully designed and built at the INKAS® Armored manufacturing facility in Toronto, Canada. The entire fleet was customized in order to meet the requirements of the Nigerian Army, with special attention to the protection and passenger comfort. INKAS® Armored APCs have already established a significant footprint in the country through their ongoing deployment by the Nigeria Police Force

6:@AUGUSTUS NOTHING TO WRITE ABOUT REGARDING NAVAL DOCKYARD
The Naval Dockyard was commissioned in 1990 to equip the NN with the required technical capability to carry out major repairs and refits of ships locally as well as lay the foundation for the local construction of naval vessels. Accompanying the fleet expansion of the early 1980s, the NN embarked on an ambitious construction of a Naval Dockyard in Victoria Island, Lagos. The aim was to equip the NN with the required technical capability to carry out major repairs and refits locally.

There are 3 graving docks and a slipway at the NND. The main graving dock has a capacity of 10,000 tones with a dimensionof 180m x 24m x 12m. The twin docks consist of two 250-tons capacities each with dimension of 50m x 15m x 6m. There is also a slipway with a capacity of about 200 tones capable of taking up to 5 ship when refurbished. The existence of these infrastructures is a great potential for production of defence need such as ships and other watercraft.

The Platting workshop is one of the main hubs of shipbuilding. This workshop has modern equipment for cutting steel plates, welding and fabrication of complex structure. Other workshops necessary for shipbuilding at the NND include the Engine Test Bay, Steel, Carpentry, Effectors and Arsenal amongst others. All these workshops contribute to different types of defence need production. The quality assurance equipment such as hardness tester, ultra sonic thickness gauge, X-ray equipment, universal testing machine and pendulum impact machine are all functioning. The quality assurance equipment are critical possessions in ship and submarine building.

The Aerostar unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) acquired by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) in 2006 have reportedly been grounded due to a lack of maintenance, limiting surveillance operations against Boko Haram militants. Meanwhile the US has deployed a Predator team to Chad to search for kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls.The nine Aerostar UAVs were acquired in 2006 and 2007 from Aeronautics Defense Systems (ADS), a company based in the Israeli capital Tel Aviv in a contract which also included the supply of unmanned patrol boats to the Nigerian Navy, bringing the net value of the contract to $260 million.

Except that your above stories do not agree with you.

Your talk about AFIT does not say Europe is building Amebo drone, it says AFIT as a college of technology got money grants from Cranfield university of Britain, even SA universities gets money grants.

Your talk about West Atlantic being a private company shows your ignorance. All over America and Europe today, 90% of defence industry is privately owned not government, American government does not produce F-16 jet you fool, a private company does the job !

Your Badeh Aerospace story does not say anything about Badeh's Gulma drone, its talking about Aerostar drone that are Israeli and had faults....but Badeh Gulma drone os flying high !

Your story about INKAS being foreign branch in Nigeria, is SAAB Grintek or Rheinmetall not Europeanforeign branches opened in South Africa?

Your talk about Nigerdock is false, and Nigeria has the biggest shipyard in Africa. Confirmed !

Your talk about Naval dockyard actually proves that it is doing a good quality job, thanks for admitting that fact.

So, your entire long comment is a waste of time.

Okay, should I also add Nigerian companies that produce equipment for our private security and police too? We too have them aplenty.

Show us the production factory and sales revenue of those your tiny tiny 100 companies and let us see how many of them can build a 10,000 tonne ship like Nigerdock and produce almost 500 armoured vehicles a year like Proforce !!


....and your website of South African 100 defense companies is showing SAAB on the list, so South Africa owns SAAB of Sweden ? Thief. Sweden owns their technology, you feed under their table, don't come here and claim Swedish technology as your own. Thief !
.

lol - SAS Drakensburg is 12,000t

SAAB-Grintek has BEE Level 3, which is the highest BEE rating
