Good progress with indigenous hardware by Nigeria.
How far is the scope of their current projects? Are they venturing into say developing vehicle mounted systems and such?

SDB3 is going well.But the air Force has refused to release pics of the NAFSA eagle aircraft and Ichoku combat drone..
I talked to a NAF personnel he told me that they are classified for the meantime...

it's a multi role aircraft they are working on..And a combat drone..
There's no need to rush bro.We have to be first perfect in rocket development NAF is already doing such..

With the pace of development in Nigeria's defence industry, Nigeria would not need to import armoured personnel vehicles ever again.


The only reason Nigeria would import vehicles from abroad would be because of corruption, that is if the army ever imports armoured personnel carriers in the future.

At the speed we are going we would be the second largest armoured vehicle manufacturer in Africa behind South-Africa.

New model Ezugwu MRAP, including improved variant of Ezugwu MRAP APC I.

Wide array of armoured vehicles produced in Nigeria showing mine resistant vehicles, infantry patrol, off-road vehicle and special forces vehicles.

nice one Kabe1..
Now I see the vehicle you're talking about..
Nice improvement on the Ezugwu...
They should maintain and sustain production of the Ezugwu MRAP, That new off-road vehicle Those two are the hot cake I admire..

Now I am impressed. Thanks Oga Kabe

I will post pictures of the new off-road vehicle. Just cool down.


If we ever import APCs again, it's just boils down to corruption.

Side view of the new Ezugwu MRAP APC

The height of Nigerian made armoured vehicles is remarkable.

This version would give Proforce ARA a hot chase for the money with regards to sales.

you're right bro .. I don't see any reason why we should ever import armoured vehicles again...
ARA has now seen a competitor..
But ARA is gaining ground with 20 foreign sales...

New model and versions of Ezugwu MRAP APC.

Competition is good for ARA, it would keep everyone thinking and on their toes.

There is another company building another vehicle. Same as the ARA and Ezugwu class.

When the 3 companies are through, the army should float a tender, all 3 companies bid for 1000 vehicles.

these vehicles are beasts not just in height but size....
Guy that third company I hope it's a Nigeria company.Dats what give me thrills bro ..

No NAF is not working on a fighter aircraft and starting a missile program from scratch isn't easy to do and expensive, imo I feel Nigeria has quite a long way to go wrt missile technology but with the right investment Nigeria certainly will have the expertise in the future!!

what multi role aircraft? Jet or prop?

In sub-Sahara Africa Nigeria is clear second behind SA.

The ARA 2 has definitely impressed, and could potentially be a great export product

Judging by the photos, I think they actually went for a multi role platform which could also fulfil the role of an IFV, hence the sloped front and lack of a windscreen.

WTF are you talking about bro?

Rear compartment of the Ezugwu MRAP

You can stick boxes of ammo, jerry cans, in this case generators and inverter batteries.

I think the new Mrap isn't stable on the 4×4. Maybe better of with 6×6 variant.

jeez Must we make everything appear funny. nice concept (I think)

This is more than just an Apc

The 3rd company is a Nigerian company. They already deliver farm machinery to Nigerian army farms limited.


I heard a few armoured vehicles companies started from selling farm machinery.

Ok, sounds exciting!


The progress has been really swift and I think they quickly learnt lessons from trials re visibility and blind spots on Ezugwu Version 1.

it has the same concept as the US Maxx pro..

yeah it's Prop..
But we don't know it's capability yet.
Who knows maybe ISR..

I feel like those companies should go more into infantry products like radio comma, bullets, assualt rifles, heavy machine guns etc, they will make a lot of money from it

The ARA 2 is a very beautiful looking vehicle, the army has also confirmed it's combat capabilities in the North East also.

We are currently making very nice military vehicles from utility, special forces and MRAPs.

We need to now look at offensive vehicles. With 30 mm and 40 mm cannons.
