Watched the f*uking video

And it mentions f*uking overhaul/ refurbishment facilities along with assembly manufacturing localising upgrading overhauling etc etc

I mentioned f*cking ' pic ' looks like f*uking refurbishment plant

Which is true because that pic showed the overhauling section of the facility.

How was I to know that the plant is a integrated complex ?

That’s your problem not mine, if you don’t know then next time don’t jump into an argument.

I bet you if we put together a documentry of what we have achieved in one year from all sectors of our defence industry it will be more telling than what you watched. Alas! you´re incapable of original thinking to know that. I owe you nothing as we can see you know too much embarrasing urself. The bait I set you was easily avoidable.

Sorry, Ethiopia is far ahead of who?.............. Nigeria?


Can you post those facts again, i didn't see them. I want to see how Ethiopia is far ahead of Nigeria.

In what areas?

1st picture; Egyptian Naval special unit and shows armed with Italianassault rifle Beretta Arx-160, which is available in eastern calibre (39*7.62) and west caliber(45*5.56) and is easily characterized by jaw and installation and Also easy toadd accessories that include a 40 mm glx-160 grenade launcher.

2nd picture; Egyptian Thunderbolt units during the U.S. assault rifles m-4, the gun uses 5.56-gauge rounds of NATO, with a maximum range of 600 meters and weighs 3.32 kg when it is packed 30-bullet ammo.

Stop been over patriotic dude; the Nigerian military and defense industry started making significant impart from early 2000, likewise other sectors.

Following the fall of the Derg regime on May 28, 1991 through the arduous struggle, Ethiopians shifted their full attention to install peace, democracy and development. As a result, the nation enormously reduced its military expenditure for the sake of development and to get rid of poverty. Some examples of the existing Ethiopian defense industry capability are:

Hibret Machine Tools: Produces medium weapons for the Ethiopian National Defense Force. Its civilian output includes hand tools, hospital beds, aluminum saddles, and household and office furniture.
Gafat Armament Engineering Complex: Produces a wide range of infantry equipment that meet the requirement of the Ethiopian National Defense Force.
Homicho Ammunition Engineering Complex: Produces a wide range of ammunition ranging from light weapons to heavy mortars and artillery. It also produces various metal products that are inputs to civil industries.
Bishoftu Motorization Engineering Complex: production, Repair and overhaul center for heavy armament, tanks and military vehicles.

Dejen Aviation Engineering Complex (DAVEC): Center for overhauling and upgrading military aircraft.
Nazareth Canvas and Garment Factory: Produces and supplies military uniforms, canvas, leather and strap products to the Ethiopian National Defense Force.

Metals & Engineering Corp., an Ethiopian military-run corporation, planned to partner with more foreign companies as it spearheaded a government-drive to develop industries in Africa’s second-most populous nation.

MetEC is engaged in the design, manufacturing, upgrading and maintenance of different products and services of the defense industry including upgrading combat aircraft and helicopters, tanks, vehicles and weapons.
METEC was established in June 2010 with 10 billion birr of capital by grouping nine businesses previously owned by the Defense Ministry, including Dejen Aviation Industry and Gafat Armament Industry, Six other industries, including plastic, tractor and vehicle spare-parts manufacturers, were transferred to METEC from the privatization agency and it now operates as many as 75 factories nationwide.

The public manufacturing enterprises which are under the control of MetEC, include Dejen Aviation, Bishoftu Automotive and Locomotive, Hibret Machine Tools Engineering Complex, Homicho Ammunition Engineering Complex, Gafat Armament Engineering Complex, Power Engineering, Hitech Industry, Metal and Fabrication Industry, Adama Garment Industry, Ethiopia Plastic SC, and Nazareth Tractor Assembly Plant.

By 2013 METEC, as it’s known, was working with companies including Alstom SA, Europe’s second-largest power-equipment maker, U.S.-based solar-panel manufacturer Spire Corp. (SPIR) and China Poly Group Corp. on engineering and manufacturing projects. Some of the company’s budding industries, like vehicle-assembly and engineering businesses, may generate more than 20 billion birr ($1.1 billion) of revenue a year.

By 2013 MetEC – the misleadingly named Ethiopian Metal and Engineering Corporation - had come to dominate the Ethiopian economy in less than one year. It had its fingers in everything from the so-called Grand Renaissance Dam to arms factories, to a spanking new fertilizer factory, to ten sugar factories. It entrenched a patronage system that gave a larger stake to the military while guaranteeing the survival of the regime.

Aviation industry; the Ethiopian airways rank top best in Africa unfortunately for us; ours is said to be resourcitated in December, All thanks to the present Government and let's hope it happens

Ethiopian Airlines is a wholly-government owned airlines and serves as the country’s flag carrier. Headquartered in Bole International Airport, Ethiopian Airlines is listed as second in the top ten safest airlines in Africa ranking. A proud member of the Star alliance since December, 2011, Ethiopian Airlines operates with a fleet of 42 passenger and 6 freighter planes and offers services to 62 international and 17 domestic destinations.

In 2010, Ethiopian Airlines was named Africa’s most profitable airline by Air Transport World. Although Ethiopia’s flag carrier recently announced it is cutting cost so it can save up to one billion birr to ward of operational difficulties accruing from an increase in expenditure. It also announced record operating revenues registering a growth of 50.4%. The airline has 3 stars from a five-star ranking criteria by Skytrax.

To even show how strong they are; they now operate in Nigeria. They have office in Lagod & Enugu; Ethiopian Airlines And British Airways Grab Largest Volume Of Nigeria's Air Traffic - Report,

Don't forget that the 1st set of NAF pilots where trained in Ethiopia.


They even have a maintenance facility that takes care of there commercial aircraft; Ethiopian MRO Services is a division of Ethiopian and is established in 1957 to provide MRO services for aircraft, engines and components of Ethiopian and third party customers.

Agriculture;

Food drives the world; apart from clean water, access to adequate food is the primary concern for most people on earth. This makes agriculture one of the largest and most significant industries in the world; agricultural productivity is important not only for a country's balance of trade, but the security and health of its population as well.

With that in mind, which countries produce the most agricultural products, which countries export the most, and what are countries around the world doing to increase their production levels?

Countries like America, China, Germany, france and Brazil are top producer & exporter.

In Africa it's Ethiopia, Cote d'Ivoire, Tanzania and tiny Rwanda. Where is Nigeria with our population who needs serious Agriculture.

Thank God for the present government that has seen that agriculture is the way forward, now Nigeria is currently the largest rice producing country in Africa. Probably in few years we take over cocoa, coffee and palm oil. https://newtelegraphonline.com/2018/02/nigeria-among-16-top-rice-producers/

70-80% of Saab gripen parts are imported.

Most of the parts used to to produce South Africa's attack helicopter were imported.

Almost all countries producing missiles today import most of the parts. We have less than 7 countries that can actually build a missile from scratch without importing parts.

Etc.

Every company start by importing what ever they Dont have and later integrate what is now available.

What matters most is designing what can actually work and deliver as expected.

All the Oryx and Rooivalk spares are manufactured in SA now!

The cocoa you are mentioning was Nigerians backbone and coffee, palm oil etc before the advent of black oil. Dude you are talking of the past glory go check your facts right.

The cocoa house in Ibadan, oyo state was built by cocoa money.

The present government it's trying it's best reviving agricultural sector i:e; Ede Cocoa Processing Plant, Osun State is the only attracting cocoa factory for Nigeria’s remaining five cocoa processing factories to tap export demand for butter, cake and powder. Ede Cocoa Processing Plant has no debt burden and it is now producing Nigeria’s cocoa cake, powder, chocolate and butter. This makes it easy for Nigeria’s processed cocoa to compete favourably. Ede Cocoa plant remains one of the fastest selling and most desirable agricultural commodities in the international market due to the rapid growth and expansion of chocolate confectioneries and other products.

Cashew nuts & ground nut are also been exported but not as in the 60s, 70s & early 80s.
