To avoid mysterious falls that could lead to black eye, broken bones, jaws and ribs, please don't stab a soldier in the back.

Modern Israeli infantry fighting vehicle shows its anti-tank capability

GabrielYulaw:
I don't like the Israelis but I do respect their capacity for innovation. Naija keeps buying main battle tanks when what we actually need are heavy IFVs like the Namer and BMPT. Alternatively, since Russia has tens of thousands of T-62 and T-72 tanks in reserve or awaiting scraping, we can beg and obtain a few hundred of these for free and pay to turn them into heavy IFVs. These will be equipped with anti-tank missiles, multiple cannons and sensors. That makes much more sense considering the threats faced by our troops and is more cost effective than what we are currently doing. But that will never happen, cos the Nigerian army is run by idi0ts, and th1eves whose main reason of being is to enrich themselves.

naija which way

I've been excitedly expectant for like 4 years or so now for the first delivery of the JF-17s. Been thoroughly disappointed.
At this rate I won't be surprised if NAF receives the Super Tucanoes from Sierra Nevada co. before the Thunders start arriving from Pakistan. Sighs

GabrielYulaw:
Is the JF-17 what is actually required? Are they going to be dogfighting with Boko Haram planes or the Chadian Air Force? While ostensibly multi role, the payload and range of the JF-17 is simply too limited to be useful to us.

The perfect plane for would had been the SU34 Platypus. This carries 12 tons of bombs across great distances and can be air refuelled. Thus, it can stay on station for maybe 24 hours patiently waiting for Boko Haram to show themselves and get bombed to Kingdom come.
If we beg well, Russia can even give these to us from it's own stocks and help us maintain it. This means it can be available in months, rather than years as with the Tucano and JF17. Plus we are buying far too little of either to be useful.


As well, what is stopping us from buying C-130 Hercules planes or its equivalent and equipping these with cannons, bombs and missiles like the American AC-130? I simply don't understand the Nigerian army staff. Is it that they don't have brains or what?

When I eventually become the Nigerian President, you will be my Defense Minister - but you must shave that beard.
