They are the same thing.

Then they repainted the missile launchers and sharpen it's edges also . Perhaps it's just the pic messing with the eyes. Why don't they strip the missile systems off

I don't believe the Nigerian navy is getting any new frigates. The Navy & Air Force usually release statements, multiple statements on procurement plans.

2 Frigates is a big ticket purchase, and cannot be hidden. If Nigeria was getting 2 new frigates we would know about it.

We know from Thisday newspapers that Nigeria is getting a new Offshore Patrol Vessel.

Perhaps the biggest clue that Nigerian navy is not getting any new frigates is simply because our budget cannot afford it.

The Nigerian navy is getting 1 AW-139 helicopter, 1 hydrographic ship, 1 LST, 1 OPV, 1 SDB, 2 x 40 meters vessels and 2 x logistics barges.

How can we afford 2 Frigates giving our current budget with the above purchase?............ It's simply not possible.

Common bro. I didn't intend to raise a discussion about it. Lets just breath air and ignore it.

my same dilemma, of the $1bn, released as an intervention fund for extra budgetary capital for the military, as of last year July a little over $800m was already expended

no mention of frigates, so was wandering were the 'nigerian frigate program' fits in

This poster is aware of the frigate program.

Lynx helicopters?? From where again?

I believe the navy would purchase frigates after the LST has been delivered, not sooner.

See guys, the fact people don't know does not make it a lie. Common guys, lets leave this.

Some aspects of procurement are not disclosed. The navy especially has executed some defence projects that many are not aware of.

When we hear an info like the one I gave, we should keep an open mind, not argue what we don't know.

There is a Navy plan that includes frigate purchases. It's in the navy's strategic 10 year plan which has been updated over time.

However the claim that the navy has ordered frigates already is simply not obtainable.

You can purchase tanks in secret, IFVs and MRAPs in secret, but not Frigates.

The way we dey debate matters here dey tire me.

If you don't know something does not make it wrong. No one know when the VT-4 was ordered. We did not see it in the budget also.

Make we keep open minds abeg. Not argue what we dont know.

Ok, ended.

Bro, the order for frigate is unknown. It is a program not just an order. Until it comes b4 you know.

FieldMarshall06:
Aradu would now operate as an OPV just because its engines, transmission and control systems are now obsolete by modern standards. But they still work but are older systems.

That does not mean the ship cannot fire missiles. The downgrading to OPV means that the Aradu is not expected to sail far and wide across the oceans due to old engines & systems.

But it can still fire ...

There is an order for 2 new frigates. Smaller sized frigates but very modern. Fully armed.

You sure it's 2 Frigates?

I thought it's 1 Frigate and 2 Corvette, I might be wrong though

Its a pair of frigates. Two corvettes too. You are a bad guy

Added- Frigates have been ordered, but not sure of the corvettes. But I am aware of the Corvette plan though.

Leave others to argue. Smh.

I know of the Corvettes too

But the Frigate Program, So far, I've seen Just one on order and it's Germany
I'll advice you double check though.

I know its Germany and I know the full specs, but please don't disclose too much here. There are guests on this thread.

I could have said more on the Aradu missile launchers, but it not worth my time. Arguments and insults are what I would get. Smh.

IKR, I wasn't going to go deep.

Funny Enough, I've got just little about it.
I was only talking about your figures.

Its ok, we are on the same page. Don't worry about my figures, they are rock solid.

This is cringe worthy

Nigeria has ordered frigates from Germany, yet only 2 people here know about this.

I mean, everyone has the right to air his or her opinion, but this is ludacris!! No offence.

If you had even said China, I would have considered it, but Germany, the "woke" capital of Europe.

It is not possible, this is the fact.
