What a country huh
I'm sure at least some millions have been spent on media for these 10 military jeeps awareness. What a shame on our leaders.

They spend multi millions Naira on security, media and entertainment just to launch Ogoni Land clean up. And there is no money to pay the unemployed?

I checked online and these jeeps don't seem to be very common. Nor is there much info about them.

I hope this was a good decision in the end

Iran just upgraded their air defence system with Russian S-300 missile defence system for their Airforce and Nigeria as the 'giant' of Africa is cheering 10 Maruti trucks that its equivalent can be made by Innoson motors without importing the trucks itself but just the communication gadgets.

We need to move up and stop making a mockery of ourselves.

Russian S-300 and S-400 Missile Defense Systems for Iranian Air force
Sorry but Iran currently has no S400 in her inventory. The s300 is Okay for Nigeria but i will go for the US patriot every time.. The s300 just has range advantages. The S400 is a better choice over it.

How much did it cost or that doesn't matter? Besides, I thought these were for Airforce?

Nowadays, Nigeria Military prefers doing their work on social media than on the battle field. A careful search on the internet by anyone can almost reveal all our military assets.

They look more like transport vehicles to me, not defensive vehicles.

The Patriot cannot withstand S-400, Iran payed for S-300 but is now receiving an upgraded version from Russia which is almost like S-400.
Are you impressed with these 10 trucks being a national issue by our Air Force

An upgrade version is not close to the S400. And what makes the S400 better than the patriot? The 91N6 and 92N6 radar covering a range of 600km? Ability to track up to 300 targets? and 100 in TAS(track and scan) for the gravestone? El brus 90 processing system? or adaptive beam control?? and the beam steering for the big bird?? .

The S400 missiles is the reason for its toughness and its Long range Radar (600km) Anti jam??
Take away its 40N6 missile and its 600Km acquisition radar then all is finished ..

Truly the S400 is a beast but i am staking my bet on the Patriot.

And our Air force, i am also disappointed with our inventory.

Such a shame, Nigeria has gone to the dogs. Even Togo or Chad wont be proud to showcase those refurbished jeeps as military achievement. RUBBISH!!!

No country has ever been kept United with only force of arms.
Any Nigerian leader acquiring all the Arms from all over the world with the intention to force one Nigeria without negotiations for Nigeria must be a novice in nation building.

The Nigerian Army as a whole, needs overhauling. There are many more Dasuki's in the NA. The monet for this project has been embezzled.

Why is it that we always tend to fix round pegs in square holes?

We are not advanced enough to use the F35s, we don't even have aircarriers, no submarine.

We still have a long way to go o
