Chakib:
that's a joke right...in africa nobody can be compared to the Algerian army except egypt

Untested military.
Yes the hardware is there like it was in Libya. Untested military all the same.

All the top teams are on the same points. No problem.

JohnBullMySon:
Lol. Where did I mock him? Seems like many of you are children. I'm simply telling you the reason why many Nigerians continue to mock and distrust the military despite the work they do, and you all just resort to throwing insults here and there. Simple English one can't even understand. People don't just behave strangely for no reason.
Buhari probably did more infrastructural work than Jonathan in the South-east. But why is he hated there by majority? It's simply because of his highhandedness in handling IPOB when it started in 2016-17 without guns, as well as seemingly lopsided appointments. So you get the point, your bad acts go a longer way to influence people than your good acts. If you want to be stupid and throw insults without understanding simple English, you're free. See you later.

You started IPOB because of high handedness and lopsided appointments? . This generation is not viable

ugo4u:
You think say na Toyota Hilux 72MSF and Executive outcome use route BHT in those 3 months to elections? If we give the weakest unit in the NA the kind of assorted military hardwares & resources and support those guys had then, we would have gone far in this war.

72MSF did not rout BH in three months. They never even claimed they did. Nigerians are a bunch of simpletons.

Flanker:
Seriously , algerian army ? poor training , military strategies , doctrine ?
according to whom? and compare to whom?

There is not many in africa that spend as much as algeria in training and large exercises , did I not share here a lot of algerian exercises each year ? did I not share here algerian navy ships , air force aicraft , army units exercises all around the world in differents countries with different armies ?

.check some algerian exercises , the budget and ammunitions spent in just one of this maneuvers could suffice some armies on the continent for a whole year . And you're telling me that they are poorly trained ?

No. You are telling me they are spending money on training. How that equals well trained is beyond me

willybaby:
wow imagine it was Nigeria making this purchase that's almost like a drone to a state, almost 24/7 surveillance of the entire country because left for me that's what we need right now.. our ground intelligence agencies are trying but more needs to be done..

İ don't think it is a money issue. The Wing Loong is relatively cheap. It is adoption lag. Nigeria will still buy a large number if there are no issues

When you introduce ground radars in large numbers, make sure you specified the right ones otherwise you have not solved the problem.

You also solve the problem when you operationalise them by developing procedures that work with the existing tactics of Army formations.

I believe Nigeria bought a good quantity of ground radars but they specified and bought German stuff. Actually Germany gave a number for free.

I believe clutter is affecting performance of the few radars being used. I also don't think they bought enough of them.

Check out this clutter-free ones

Baba units should just be equipped with long range ground radars.... the army has equipments that they don't even use,I wonder why.....with ground radars, you can see anything up to 30km from you on the ground and low flying aircraft, even location of people can be picked, mortars, vehicles and so on can be picked easily, no matter how good they camouflage and yes, the army has had this technology for years, even federal road safety had this technology since the 80s , why it isn't applied on the north east I don't understand, we have old almost obsolete atgm that can be used to destroy technicals from stand off range it isn't been used, we have gatling guns, that can be used to suppress massed attacks of FOBs it isn't been used, even the air force, I just hope they don't strap dumb bombs on the modern aircraft, and start drooling over precision weapons hidden away in ordinance depots. I keep saying it, insecurity might not even with this buhari's regime, there seems to be s certain lack of will.

kabe1:
I'll also like to know this.

We know Algeria is owing a whooping $80bn.
Their population is less than 45m so debt per capita is high.
They also dont have Nigeria's age demographics that supports easy debt repayment.

Some of us have written a lot about Algerian procurement policy. They seem to want to compensate for poor military strategies, doctrine and training by buying large numbers of weaponry.

GeneralFarouq:
Exactly my thoughts... Send out foot patrols to move ahead of the convoy and into the bushes surrounding the roads may have foiled some of these ambushes... Infact if the troops moved through the bushes cautiously,they may surprise the terrorists and turn their plan against them...

1.Call in air surveillance of route before taking off on patrol. Only Super Tucano and Wing Loongs can do this kind of careful surveillance of the route.

2. Wait for analysis and go-signal before proceeding on the trip. This wait can be up to 48 hours.

3. Air surveillance of route is not just looking for high endurance ISWAP fighters hiding in the brush and mud not minding insect bites and snakes. The air surveillance is looking for the slightest evidence that they have started encroaching a 20km radius area near the route or have passed by. In that case the order should be no-go.

The PDP is not a party. APC will present a southern candidate and still win. PDP would be left wondering why they always read Nigeria wrong.

Some idiot said some countries who have borrowed heavily have something to show for it. Typical Nigerian meaninglessness.
AL the countries that Nigerians are running to have borrowed very very heavily. They borrowed very very heavily to provide the infrastructure and power that young Nigerians are running away to enjoy. For that, the young Nigerians have to pay the taxes required to repay the loans.
So you are actually emigrating to spend your youth to pay taxes to clear other people's debt.

What I am advocating is Nigerians should learn to use brains, think hard and face truth.

TarOrfeeek:
OK

You're seeing the fallacy in the clamour for a SW President again.

If the SW presents a candidate and the Fulani presents one.

Best believe the SS and SE will give bloc votes to the Fulani, make everybody craze dey go.

This happened in 2019 and did not win the Presidency for the SE supported candidate

JOSCOFELIX:
who remember my intel about the procurement of ship and submarine? and the procurement of equipment through the Nigeria maritime trust fund for the Nigeria navy. today the trust fund have being approve by the senate this will be generated from the Nigeria port and others. for t training and procurement of equipment both for Nigeria navy and blue sea water project

Could you please expatiate more on this. Was it a senate committee that approved or the entire senate?. Is it going into 2022/2023 budget or is it a one off project vote?

Valkrie:
They said super tucano would be a game changer and they kept killing soldiers again anyhow..haba...!! Its people fathers, sons, husbands that are been killed oh...!! Pathetic....!!!

This is not a well informed post sorry.
I am restraining myself from calling it a stupid post.

The Super Tucanoes have barely started operations.

We have written so much about carelessness and lack of adequate situational awareness by troops in transit and on patrol. Maybe they should start court martialing officers who are not following procedures BUT to wail ineffectually and un contextually about Super Tucano is not a smart reaction sorry

Nigerian Chief Of Army Staff Lt Gen Farouk Yahaya visit to Proforce Facility.


Wednesday 22/09/2021


Chief of Army Staff

The visit of Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff to Proforce’s Facility on 22nd September 2021 is an endorsement of the Proforce Brand especially for the use of the Nigerian Armed Forces in the ongoing onslaught on criminals and criminal elements in the country. The Proforce’s Armoured vehicles are tailored-made for clients and are battle tested both in Nigeria, Chad and other parts of Africa.

During the visit, the COAS visited Proforce’s Showroom where he inspected some corporate armouring for organisations and individuals. He also visited the Maintenance, Repairs and Overhaul (MRO) where repairs of vehicles like Cobra 1 APC, Steyr APC, Navistar and Caiman MRAPs etc. The COAS was shown round the production floor and the elated COAS said the only way to go about Military hardware is indigenous. He also took a tour of the Helmets and Vests section of the company and Staff Quarters.


COAS
Parts of the presentation showcased to the Chief were the capabilities of Proforce in the Area of Drone and Trainer jets manufacturing, Military Communication Systems, Signal Intelligence, Open Source and Web Intelligence and other Naval Capabilities.

Proforce Limited is a defence solution provider specialized in the manufacturing of Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs), Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles (MRAPs), Armoured Patrol Boats, Ballistic Helmets & Vests, Armoured Civilian Vehicles and Cash-In-Transit.

The Nigerian Army through its investment arm, Nigerian Army Welfare Limited by Guarantee NAWLG, acquired 15% shareholding of Proforce Limited.

It would be profitable for OGSG to buy some shares too

This is very good.

Is the economy not booming?. I am trying to get round Lagos, everywhere is choked with economic activity. All roads in all major cities in all states are active. Even ordinary Lokoja in Kogi state.

Unless you don't understand what economic boom is and you are confusing it with bulging pockets.

Hezzyluv:
On the other hand, Nigeria to launch E-naira soon

E-currency is not crypto. China will also launch E currency

LOL.

Poor choice of language. Don't travel those roads is what was meant. The roads in question are unauthorized to youth corpers.

If you have issues with the poor quality and irresponsibilty of the manual, just remember it was prepared by Nigerians who went to the same school as you. So the question is in what ways are you different?.

sureteeboy:
These swindlers are coming out in full force again since election is approaching.
No be Key player, na MVP.

He has "reached out to Wike" to no avail. Me and you are in the wrong business

rka1:
It simply means " commot for road missile" CFRM.

@Stormtrooper11, we won't be taking kindly to it if you laugh at that name.

Stormtrooper11:
is this sarcasm??

It is highly classified info

Stormtrooper11:
Sorry, please what does that mean? I couldn't get it.

The name of the missile is in Nigerian pidgin English. Thats how much I can tell you without killing you

JOSCOFELIX:
please go and make research most of your argument are baseless. A p 18 can be armed if the need come.you have no point in saying that a p 18 cannot be armed. If the nigeria navy want it to be armed they will go for general refit of the ship

Nigeria bought Aspide, Exocet, Otomat missiles in the 80s and 90s. The entire world knows this.
The story goes they destroyed them all.
A NAF vision document recommended the procurement of Chinese anti ship missiles for the JF17 Block 2. There is no indication yet whether they have been bought or not.

ANDREW91:
He is talking trash.
Alot of people earn less than 500 by day
So how do u expect dem to feed.
There nobody in the US dat earn less than a dollar per day

Reverse that logic..and think.
You cannot exist 1 day in the US with N500.00. You can in Nigeria

People working for me buy lunch at less than N500. I personally make my own breakfast for about N350.
Nigerians should stop emoting and start using intellect. When you emote you will tell lies because you are not strong enough to face facts and tell the truth.

Meanwhile it is a global problem. Please let Google be your friend. Currencies are depreciating and inflation is high everywhere

EricBraven:
CFRM

You have to fear the CFRM

jl115:
I what chopper and what missiles does Nigeria posses

Classified missiles.
Choppers are a mix of AW139s and A109s... maybe eventually a Chinese make.

jl115:
in other words its an OPV

OPV.... lol.
Nigeria sailed it's "OPV" to the Gambia at the behest of ECOWAS to harass an illegally self perpetuating Head of State.

The OPV has a helideck that carries choppers that can shoot air to sea missiles.
All the other corvettes in its size range built by the same manufacturer never carried choppers. Only SAMs, ASW missile and anti ship.

It was air launched anti ship missiles that sank a UK destroyer very easily during the Falklands war.

The point is that Nigeria has a creative approach to specifying weapon platforms to meet threat gaps....and yes they are projecting power with OPVs that also hold oil spill clean up equipment.. ha ha ha.

They are now getting two large LSTs soon.

The LSTs will be armed with tame 76mm guns but they will carry choppers... hmmmn.

The choppers would be for *search and rescue ", support for oil spill response and may be support for Red Cross.. *wink

Good match. The other Man U Team is jelling together nicely.
Sancho, Lingard, Martial. The score line does not show the work.
West Ham are good shot blockers
