As usual, The Generals keep lying when it matters most! Unfortunately, our sad excuse of a Leader will be happy to smile underneath that cap and say " changi has come walahi" Always ready to believe anything!


That said, what "AFV troop carrier/Medium weight fast modern tank" are you yapping about?

ecomog1990:
How small a country is Ghana, how many soldiers has it, so how many AFVs do they need? Ghana acts like genius doing very good army weapons procurement in peace time before war comes, avoiding export embargoes and fire brigade attitude of acquisition.

Do you know who is worse in thinking than fishes in Nigeria?

The person who cannot smartly use Google and also scroll back pages on this thread, to see photos & videos of Ghana's Anniversary public show of Army strength, battalion size of brand new IFVs from China, transferred IFVs and tank destroyers from South Africa, new modern APCs with thermal night FCS weapon systems new from China, new contracts for sophisticated tanks and AFVs from Turkey-Indonesia.

The person who cannot see all that, has a brain smaller than that of fishes. Hehehehe

This is what is giving this guy joy?
I was even thinking its something serious. Sensational Journalists have played this one oo

Sorry for being too late. I've been too busy with work for a while.
Have a summary.
LCA is a aerodynamically unstable design like F16 , gripen , f35 etc. Jf17 is a aerodynamically stable design like older 3rd generation mirage 3 , sabre , mig 21 etc

LCA has advanced safety features like auto low speed recovery (ALSR) mode which the jf17 does not have

LCA has quad redundant digital FBW which the jf17 does not have

LCA has disorientation recovery Function (DRF) which the jf17 does not have

LCA can do hot refuelling which the jf17 cannot do

LCA has quicker turnaround time than jf17

LCA has HMD which the jf17 doesn't have

Sortie generation rate of LCA is higher than jf17

These are some of the lesser known advantages of LCA over blunder, others you all can add.

You are the one played by lack of current DEFSEC announcement. Its Army Recognition and DefenceWeb published reports on Ghana Army MMBT and AFV officially signed RFI & LOI agreements for supply and also technology transfer that you call sensational journalism? Do you know how defence procurement process flowcharts? You think purchase starts with payment? I no get time waste dey argue, but before I exfil, update yourself below:

OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY RECEIVES BOOST AS NAF PREPARES TO INDUCT SECOND BATCH OF 2 NEW AGUSTA 109 POWER HELICOPTERS

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is set to induct the second batch of 2 new AgustaWestland 109 Power Attack Helicopters procured by the Federal Government as part of the fleet enhancement efforts to enable more effective and efficient employment of air power to tackle the security challenges facing the Nation. The 2 helicopters, along with associated equipment and spares, arrived Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport Abuja on board a Boeing 737-400 Cargolux Airline aircraft from Malpensa International Airport in Italy on 15 January 2020. They were received by a NAF Team, led by Air Commodore Halim Adebowale, as well as the Country Representative of Leonardo Helicopters, manufacturers of the aircraft. NAF engineers and technicians, in collaboration with a Team from Leonardo, have commenced assembly of the helicopters preparatory to their induction into service.

It would be recalled that the NAF had earlier received the first batch of 2 new Agusta 109 Power Helicopters that were inducted into the Service on 29 April 2019 during the 55th NAF Day Celebration in Abuja. The Service, within the last 5 years, has taken delivery of 21 brand new aircraft, including 10 Super Mushshak, 5 Mi-35M Helicopter Gunships, 2 Bell 412 Helicopters and 4 Agusta 109 Power Helicopters. Beside these, 15 additional aircraft have been ordered by the Federal Government, which include 12 Super Tucano attack aircraft and 3 JF-17 Thunder multi-role fighter aircraft. In addition, the Service also took over 11 aircraft from other MDAs. These include 3 EC-135 helicopters and 3 Dauphin helicopters from NNPC, 3 Donier 228 aircraft and 2 Agusta 101 from the Presidential Air Fleet (PAF); making an unprecedented total of 47 aircraft that have either been inducted into the NAF or ordered for the Service since 2015. In the same vein, over 20 previously grounded aircraft have been reactivated within the past 5 years. After induction, the 2 new helicopters will be deployed to theatres of operation across the country to reinforce NAF capability in the fight against insurgency and other forms of criminality.

We need bigger transport helicopters.

ecomog1990:
Now desperate to save yourself from embarrassment you change argument from- its fake news "sensational journalism" after I shock you with Army Recog & Def. Web reports

Bro, nobody here ever said Ghana has reached payment stage for the tanks, stop cooking up disinformation. Man up, admit you misfired, you think Letter of Intent is ordinary letter saying you love the product, no! LOI is global standard terminology in contract of procurement at preliminary stage, e.g. RFI, ITT, LOI, MOU, LPO, etc.

Wetin be my own, I appear in the photos? Ghana's Defence Minister and delegation posing on top of new tank know their Ghana doesn't sign bilateral product transfer of technology for product Ghana doesn't have solid plan to buy and your ignorance won't erase their signatures. I say I exfil no time to argue

Now check out this pic, join it with Ghana's Army new plan for 6x6 AFV troop carrier + medium weight fast modern tank.

Odunayaw:
You're having fun with yourself my man.

Don't you see you're having erections over "statement of intent"? if we were all underdeveloped upstairs like you we'd have been ululating due to the numerous bilateral agreements we've signed with Russia and just about everybody (Jordan, Azerbaijan etc)

So again. What noise are you making

Iblawi1:
Common Sense is not common. Only dummies do comparison with selected information on one side only.

The entire Ghanaian army doesn't even have Main battle Tank and the plan doesn't even cover that.

Ghanaian airforce with no proper fighter jets ( not propeller engine) the procurement doesn't cover that too.

Let's not even talk of Ghanaian Navy.


Yes, Ghana is importing APCs but you're to dull to realize Nigeria is not just importing in larger numbers but also building APCs locally.

Nigeria is not in any way comparable to Ghanaian military.

Dummies, buying what you don't have is not necessarily mordernsation. The term Mordernsation is used when you are replacing what you have previously (Algeria, Angola, Egypt, etc. Mordernising their Airforce).

Ghana is buying what is cheap and available in modern time to fill gaps and I haven't seen anything Ghanaian army, Navy or airforce is buying that Nigeria doesn't have currently or planning to buy/build too.

That is a big difference and they are not comparable.

Information on Internet is free.

ecomog1990:
You no dey think? So before Nigeria bought Agusta helicopter, MRAPs, APCs, our MoD dont write letters of intent, they just jump to payment like fools who dont know protocol?

Anyway, this is Ghana doing procurement not Nigeria, and Ghana has record of near genius planning, action, good conclusion of procurement. You want to have the last word like a baby, oya go ahead kid.

ecomog1990:
What are you saying like you drunk? We are comparing specifically Army AFV fleets and you say our air force and navy is bigger than Ghana's, only a dummy counts aircrafts and ships in AFV vehicles topic of discuss.

Its Nigeria burning at war with army deployed everywhere in N.E, Middle Belt, N.W, Niger Delta, S.E, with BH ISWA war 100,000 civilians killed, 1,000 military dead, thousands of virgins girls and housewives raped, and millions of us forced to be war refugees shamefully in Naija.

Ghana has AFV numbers fit for its army size, and its army size fit for its country size. Ghana has enough equipment for it's near zero threat level and 50 years continuous peace its enjoying. Our Nigeria is full of terrorists, insurgents, bandits, militants, kidnappers,​ IPOB rebel, killer rapist herdsmen, and yet we have an AFV fleet too small for our size and huge urgent needs in 10 years long war time.

Learn to compare the right​ things on right topic, its basic adult sense. Let me exfil o! You dis people!

Could this be the reason why Nigeria CH-3 Drones suddenly disappeared from our view

pacretus:
those screen shots can best describe what they are trying to make you understand. No one hates Ghana, Senegal I think got missile capable "boats" it doesn't make them super power. So don't think shiny military stuffs make one a super power.

The SDB 3 has been redesigned.for greater speed and balance.Also aradu is undergoing refit.the hull steel plates are starting to be changed.

I remember I onced said proforce is developing a tank.well I found out it's true.
It's called the pf90s battle tank.its a replica of the Russian t90 tank.

According to the proforce brochure they engage in one project after another starting from PF2,PF leopard PF armoured Gunboat then PF ARA MRAP.Currently they are at PF ARA stage because they are to still building other variant of the ARA.Lets go back in time.During the very first ARA project they stated that they are working on a prototype tank and nobody believed me when I said it.After the ARA project the tank is next followed by a 4x4 vehicle and PF viper. I'm sure y'all remember proforce signed a deal with a Turkish company for production of some stuff.that is what I'm sure will be integrated on the tank
