I think these midget submarines might be a very good assets for Nigerian Navy too.

Or

http://www.hisutton.com/News%20-%20Korea%20building%20new%20HDS-400%20midget%20submarine.html

Then we can add the Chinese submarine later.

The korean one is pure se.x

Henry240:


These are Air Force guys, not army.

iblawi:


Yes you are right.

But will be better if combined with S20 submarine or kilo class.

The new camo service I.D. confusion that I worry about is already happening

MikeCZAR:


Non..sense.

[s]Stop attaching lies to your comments and stop trying to force false information down our throats.


Which source says Badger 30mm cannon is the most advanced in the world? Show us the source and stop making up things.

I could also claim the newly developed Ukrainian ZTM-2 is the most modern 30mm cannon in the world because it came into market around 2014.

BMP-3 model 1987, nobody buys that anymore, its no longer produced. The current modern variants BMP-3F and BMP-3M is what buyers are now getting.

Badger, 2010 ? Badger is based on Patria and the Patria project started in Finland in 1995...that is 21 years ago.

Project Hoefyster started in 1997.....google it on defenseindustry daily website, the Badger IFV is a 20 year old obsolete concept design, there is nothing modern about a 20 years ago concept.

The extra floor protection is basic MRAP technology and nothing is cutting edge about it, it actually made the Badger to lose it's amphibious capability, how is that for your fake 'cutting edge tech' claims?

Badger 30mm cannon has low rate of fire per minute and is incapbale of rapid fire at a high rate.

Your 60mm mortar is the most advanced in the world? Mortar is mortar dude, or your own Badger mortar fires nuclear shells? Which source proves your mortar is better than all other mortars in the world ?

No other African country needs to have your own exact type of trackers and thermal imagers, their IFV is made in a different country and have their own electronic instruments, why must they have your own type?

Badger mortar carrier is not an IFV, it has no cannon, NATO standard says IFV must carry cannon at least 20mm.

Badger missile carrier is not an IFV, it has no cannon, and fails to meet NATO standard of 20mm cannon minimum.

Only the Badger with 30mm cannon and 12.7mm machine gun is an IFV, all other Badger types or variants are not IFV.

Firepower has to do with modernity just like onboard equipment/instrumentation. NATO standard says 20mm cannon minimum for IFV and it says for modern IFVs, anti-tank missiles to defend itself against enemy tanks. So the lack of combined cannon + missile capability has removed the Badger from the NATO standard definition of a modern IFV.

One single T-72 tank will destroy one hundred Badger IFVs in two hours, and the Badger cannot fight back or defend itself. It's one of the worst IFVs in Africa for the price of almost $5 million per Badger.

Sorry to burst your bubble. No offence intended. Just wish you stop posting lies upon lies. Thank you.[/s]

agaugust:


Exactly ! For $5 million per vehicle the Badger IFV has only a 30mm cannon and one tiny size light machine gun, I agree with you sir, the Badger is nonsense.

Patchesagain:


What are you going to do when i post links for every single claim?

Are you going to aplogize?

Ps: look up the NATO definition before i am forced to embarras you

croat:


Badger/Patria AMV is one of most modern APC in the world and its after all nicknamed The Green Demon by the Taliban.

.

Henry240:


They look like nice nimble assets to start a Submarine fleet with. 5 units and 3 Chinese or German type Submarines at a later time.

However, it is unlikely that we would see any Naval submarines anytime soon. They aren't yet a priority.

Henry240:
Agaugust and Patches689, you guys should please take your argument(s) to the other thread.

Henry240:


These are Air Force guys, not army.

patches689:


Unfortunately in the era of air-independent propulsion they are all obsolete (that includes the Type 209)

iblawi:
I've been seeing airforce and naval guys here in Jos with the new woodland camouflage but I've not seen any wit the desert camouflage yet. Does anyone have the pics of the new desert camouflage?

iblawi:


TYPE 041are fitted with AIP. And am sure S20 can also be fitted with AIP if requested for. China will always give you what you want as long as you have the money.

Although am not sure the improved kilo class submarine and type 209 submarines have such.

agaugust:


[s]O brother Patches please stop stop stop ALL THESE LIES, please.

Badger IFV/Patria AMV have never seen war action anywhere, the Green Demon of Afghanistan war is the KTO Rosomak M3 a very differently empowered variant with ANTI-RPG NET protection, polish COMPOSITE ARMOUR protection and 40MM AUTOMATIC GRENADE LAUNCHER as offensive area weapon....your Badger IFV has no composite armour and no auto grenade area weapon.

Please stop loading lies upon lies on this thread, pleeeeaaase stop it Patches !!![/s]

iblawi:


I think we can gain a lot from having midget submarines now. They cost roughly 50 million euros. They are not really that expensive

Henry240:


It isn't the cost that's the problem, we can very well afford them. I'm talking priorities. As things stand, Subs aren't a naval priority at this point.


Our surface fleet has to be recapitalised. Frigates, Corvettes and FAC. Then we can go for Subs.


1 Frigate

3 Corvettes

6 missile Fast Attack Crafts.


This is our current requirement.
