The Nigerian army don't even use Ak 47. What they use are clones of ak47 variants like the Romanian PMD 65, Yugoslavian M70 B1 and Chinese type 56. In a nut shell, they are using clones of clones.

komekn:


There are clones and thier are clones all with different grades some have regressed in quality and some have improved that quality.

The Polish Beryl is a good quality improvement which the NA procured. What l expected was forward thinking and some sort of technology transfer for it to be made under licence here

Another example is the Israeli Alpha AK47 variant.

A GUI is a small part of an operating system and not the OS itself as a whole.

The Chief of Naval Staff Benin Navy, Captain Albert Ezin Badou has commended the personnel of Nigerian Navy Ship OSE for their show of gallantry and high level of professionalism during the rescue of 11 crew members onboard a Portuguese flagged container ship, MV TOMMI RITSCHER. The merchant ship which had 19 crew members consisting of Ukrainian, Bulgarian and Filipinos nationals was attacked by pirates in Benin territorial waters on 18 April 2020. Consequently, the Benin Navy requested for assistance from the Nigerian Navy (NN) on 19 April 2020 in line with the MoU of the ECOWAS Maritime Zone ‘E’. The NN and Benin Navy jointly rescued the 11 crew members on 20 April 2020. However, the remaining 8 members of the ship and the pirates could not be found during the rescue operation.

2. In recognition of the role that the Nigerian Navy played in the successful rescue operation, Captain Badou expressed his gratitude to the Nigerian Navy Ship OSE’s ship company under the command of the Officer-in-Charge of the ship, Lieutenant Bilyaminu Umar Abubakar for their prompt response to the incident. He was also appreciative of their efforts which contributed to the success recorded. According to him, “from the moment you arrived Benin territorial waters on 19 Apr 20, you demonstrated good seamanship and security awareness in jointly patrolling the sea around the vessel with our Benin Navy patrol boats. This effort prevented further insecurity incidences relating to the vessel and helped build confidence in our maritime security response against piracy in the ECOWAS Zone ‘E’ maritime domain”. He further applauded the NN Special Boat Service team that participated in the rescue for display of exceptional bravery and tactics in boarding the hijacked vessel to rescue the 11 crew members without any casualty.

3. Captain Badou noted with delight the great success achieved by the joint operation which has further cemented the brotherly ties shared by the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Republic of Benin. He also specifically thanked the Nigerian Navy for its huge support towards this successful operation and urged the crew of Nigerian Navy Ship OSE to keep up the good work. The Chief of the Naval Staff of Benin Navy conveyed the appreciations through a letter of commendation forwarded to the Nigerian Navy.

The Jaguars were beyond economic repair when examined because they were left in the open to rot without any protection. Imagine the state of the airframe and the avionics etc. Nothing the Indians could do.

What is the equivalent of midshipman in other services??(is it not the rank given to those that went to maritime Academy)??

I thought Lieutenant is equivalent to Army captain??

Can your Winglong UAV train Nigerian pilots during and after the war?

Can Winlong UAV straff ammo on hostiles in regions with high Civilian population or when the military is low on budget to throw precision missiles around?

Im certain you aren't thinking long term, UAV's may inject short term capabilities but Tucano will win long term especially when the war ends.

You make a proposition from thin air that in the first instance that is disinformation, it seems you self birth ideas and notions and pass them off as facts and knowledge based probability.

The Sepecat Jags were kept in Makurdi, and with regards to the 1985 Faild coup you should read up on the history and composition of the NAF at that time and the tribal dynamics that created paranoia among the IBB and Abacha associates in the military.

Below an excerpt from Beeeagle one time prolific blogger on the subject.

Sometime in 2007 when these jets were put on display by the NAF for prospective buyers to inspect, it emerged that a Jaguar B TRAINER variant (NAF 703) had flown for only 150 hours 54 minutes since it was manufactured in December 1984. It had its 100 hours inspection on the 10th day of February, 1986. It suggests that the crated fleet of Jaguar jets is almost brand-new still.

When NAF offered the Jaguar for sale, BAe officials came for inspection/evaluation and among others conditions; they said that BAe will consider purchasing the planes at the purchase price or lower value than what Nigeria spent on the acquisition of the said jets.

You talk as if you are an authority. I was an active participant on Beeg's blog. It is a blog and not gospel. I didn't tell you they weren't stored at Makurdi Air Base just that they were stored out in the open without any protection from the elements and by the time the Indians inspected them, they were not fit for purpose. Do these photos look like they were crated?

Talking of disinformation, I can not think of anybody else so adept at it on this forum.
