Some of our Tanks came from the Czech Republic Surplus Stocks.
Also more importantly the recent addition of our MRL70 Artillery systems came from there.

Nigeria's DICON to manufacture Beryl M762 assault rifles

Nigeria's (DICON) signed a letter of intent to the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ) for the production and technology transfer of Beryl M762 assault rifles in Nigeria.

It was not announced how many rifles will be produced in Nigeria. Although, Nigeria has at least 2,000 of the rifles. The Nigerian army is one of the few countries in the world outside of Poland to field the Beryl.

Nigeria’s 2017 federal budget proposal allocated NGN364 million (USD1 million) and NGN390 million respectively to establish production lines for the Beryl M762 and AK-47 assault rifles, the latter possibly being a reference to the OBJ-006, a Kalashnikov derivative unveiled by DICON in 2006.

The Beryl M762 is an export variant of the Polish military’s 5.56 mm Beryl wz. 96C service rifle that is chambered in 7.62×39 mm. It has accessory rails, uses standard AK-47 magazines, and has a fire selector with single shot, three-round burst, and full-automatic modes.

Good news....


We've already heard; but when will the production line kick off.

dyydxx:
I'm even more confused. So they came to abduct the girls to have standing just to be able to negotiate 'cessation of hostilities'. There are unconfirmed reports the last girl is being brought back now. If the end game is to negotiate a ceasefire why does it have to take an abduction and loss of lives to achieve that? why can't the back channels just request that straightup?

This whole thing is absurdly insane.

dyydxx:
Thank you. Been waiting for real coherent answers. Can you educate me on the end game here? why would ISWAP return the girls without getting anything in return? does that even make any sense? Also why did they leave out one girl, or doesn't the agreement to return the girls cover that one?

dyydxx:
How do people who have credibility in BH matters explain the motivations? or is it a game to test themselves whether they can kidnap and return

May we see more SA/Naija co-operation. And Paramount still has to deliver to the NN 10 more of these:

FarahAideed:
Prototype indeed ..so president now commission prototypes in big ceremonies abeg stop fooling yourself

obynzo:
But why would there be so much fan fare for a prototype? In Engineering design a prototype is used for testing and modification before rolling out the real thing. The statement by the NAF was just to save face. Because if you go to youtube and check GULMA you would see the control room that was used for the test and also the aircraft itself. I wonder if all that gadgets was all for a prototype, and i know for sure that drone(GULMA) was deployed in combat against boko haram when jonathan postponed the election.

iblawi:
I don't think Pakistan have block 52.

tdayof:
Let remove the restrictions he made mention of. He said something about political will to provide funding. That's the main problem.

Adminisher:
People are not even remembering that Nigeria is not just getting Super Tucanoes but also precision guided missiles and some rocket steering kits called APKWS. Because of APKWS alone, Nigeria is buying cheaper European light choppers 2018 year in place of MI35 ($12m versus $35m). We may get back to MI35M but putting APKWS on AW109/AW139 is an amazingly accurate and cheap way to kill Boko Haram.
It is revolutionary to the ORBAT and operational philosophy of the NAF that we are getting these equipment.

Ibrahimanees:
Finally somebody figured it out, I ve been going through this posts and I swear I ve heard enough of super tucano to last me a life time. Stolen funds were stashed on an island belonging to US, arrangements have been made to transfer the money to Nigeria but US blocked it saying the money is in dollars so they have a claim on it (absurd) we fought tooth and nail then they changed tactics saying unless they or IMF or World Bank are allowed to "manage the money for us" (presumptuous) to avoid mismanagement, it will not be released. So we are virtually paying zero naira for 12 tucanos with infrastructure, training, guided munitions e.t.c. a favourable deal in my opinion.
