They will abandon it
That's the problem with Nigerians

the one buhari commissioned in 2017 is in an office @ AFIT...I saw it few months before the lockdown

RTSC:

Your country is surrounded by the United States and France on every side.

There is nothing stopping France from lauching missiles from their ships in the gulf of Guinea straight to Abuja or Lagos without even physically entering Nigerian territory.

If you have guided missiles with significant range, France would think twice before doing anything.

This is something we should have done long ago.

Baba calm down. U think those countries u mentioned are so jobless to pick up a fight with mere third world country (thanks to our looters/leaders) as ours? Since the creation of Nigeria, have we ever fought any international/conventional war before? What have we got that would make them ever take us as a threat? The funds channeled to that useless thing should have been forwarded to saving our sinking economy.

That's actually your problem not Nigerians

shegzhkn:


Just so we clear here, are you implying if those super power wanted to turn your homeland into parking lot you are going to make some hero move right ??

It would take a nuclear strike to turn Nigeria into a parking lot.
And no superpower will do that to avoid opening the Pandora box.

But Nigeria can as well become Libya and that is what we can stop.

Have you ever heard of Libya that was completely destroyed by NATO?
Is Libya richer than Nigeria ?

Libya then was headed and lead by terrorists. They are constituting nuisance to the world.

Misguided missiles on civilian houses

people think firing Missiles is the same as a sling shot

The one that brought Goliath to his knees

David's sling in IDF

The one they will use to bomb civilians People who couldn't even defeat rag tagged terrorist are thinking of missiles Another waste of tax payers money

Nigeria already has long range rockets. The Otomat systems on Nigerian warships are capable of 180km. even the Tucano prop planes we bought have AIM 9 missiles with 22 mile range. So what the OP is saying is that Nigeria is now seeking to produce indigenous missiles.

As for France attacking Nigeria, forget it. The French are too invested here. They can seek to undermine us politically in the region but they are not yet mad enough to attack us. Any of their satellites that attacks us will get a bloody nose because Nigeria has more force projection capability than any of our neighbours.

Nigeria is not where it should be, but only a fool wakes up a sleeping giant. Best let it sleep.

Actually, it will be best not to wish for them to attack us. France is one of the most military advanced nations of the world n also a hub for satellite research projects in Europe. Most of the satellites used in west Africa were developed in France. Saying their satellite will receive a bloody noise is from our neighbors own which is heavily dependent on France is quite funny. We won't even stand a chance sef. European investments in Nigeria is usually temporary n can be sold off any time they want. They av more investments in their colonies than here.

gambia:
Audio missiles.

Na so ur bad belle take reach

RTSC:

Do you think if NATO n Nigeria should get into a confrontation our locally made missiles can hit their airstrikes? Mmmmmm we won't even get a chance against them. Lybia was more economically developed than Nigeria even though Nigeria has more oil than it. But truth be told, no country in Africa can stand NATO. So that should not be a favourable comparison.

Lmao ......we dey complete it? that's my concern

Am really happy with this news...Never new we could develop missiles. Nice one from NAF. Let's now focus on developing tomahawk missiles

Bros France is a country that works on self interest. It's trade with Nigeria is €8.6bn greater than it's investments in Ivory Coast, South Africa and Senegal combined. There is no way they would put those investments jeopardy at a time when the US and UK it's main trading partners are no longer reliable sources and China is making inroads into it's traditional allies in Africa.

Nigeria has always been a regional power. It does not have any wish to become a continental power and is well able to maintain its stance.

France is a secondary global power but it acts always in it's financial interests. Always.

France and USA will be dumb to waste missiles when they are cheaper ways
of using saboteurs.

You can't stop it, even if egypt, South Africa and Algeria gifted Nigeria it Military hardware.

Just pray we won't have reason for a face off with any world power.

We don't have these Otomat systems anymore

We don't have these Otomat systems anymore

I know that operational missile use is extremely limited and NNS Aradu has severely degraded but arms sources still list the following as part of Nigeria's arsenal

AR-1 air-to-ground missile
PL-9 AAM
Swingfire Anti-tank guided missile
Blowpipe Air defense system
Strela 2 MANPAD
Roland Air defense system
Otomat Anti-ship missile
Aspide Surface-to-air missile
9K114 Shturm air-to-ground missile
Sea cat surface-to-air missile
Exocet anti-ship missile
Red Arrow 12E (‘Hongjian-12E’, or HJ-12E) man-portable anti-tank guided missile

If you have information to the contrary, I would be happy to receive the benefit of it.

Majority of these systems have been decommissioned/destroyed..

Here is a link to verify

https://dailytimes.ng/army-averts-repeat-ikeja-bomb-explosion-2/

Really

Great development!

The only issue is for this innovation to ultimately make it into service. The Nigerian security forces are fond of making technological innovations that are never heard of after the prototype phase. E.g.
-Air beetle trainer aircraft
-Igirigi APC
- Gulma and Amebo UAVs
- Farawa 2 trainer aircraft etc.

Its tough to know what is functional or not, but one needs to bear in mind that these weapon systems consist of the Launchers and the missiles themselves.
While the launchers are most likely still available, the missiles may have expired or have been expended in training or actual combat, and would need to be replaced.
So the question is have we been replacing the missiles as and when due?

I can assure you those drones are part of the ATF fleet deployed to the NorthEast

jamace:

true.
Where are the airfoce DRONES celebrated some years back?

I no trust this rocket ooo. I hope say no be the kain rocket wey dem go shoot now and the thing go turn around, pursue and fire the sender?

Ok. Thanks.

Abi na. U know that space rocket is what you'll use to escape to Mars when Boko Haram invade ur backyard! Some people and criticism for nothing.smh

Why not build space rocket instead of weapon of destruction..
