Big lol at the jungle warfare specialists, one will always be a tiger at ones backyard anyday, try being a tiger at somebody else's backyard then we will know how much of a specialist anybody is. Can't blame the men the fuuccking politicians need to grow some balls in the first place

Anyways identify the gadget on the wrist near the crossbow.

History channel is churning out documentaries one after another on the indi.. cross border strikes, first inside Pak...... (and hilariously it was on air in that country much to their chagrin ) and now the Myanmar cross border strikes.

LydayBobo:
Please what is the meaning of " Inspector General of police intelligence team. Do we have another one that belongs to Nigeria.

MaziOmenuko:
Nice.

a small Google search will always bring you out as a suspected kidnapper and rapiSt.

Well at a time no, BUT I won't be surprised if the NPF joined the DSS and the Armed Forces in adopting the Tavor TAR/CTAR-21 for its various elite units. Afterall some officers now use the IWI Jericho 941. That said I've never seen the Tavor with any MOPOL squadron or SPU or CTU operators. I may be wrong though.

BruncleZuma:
Omo...you go soon turn to some of us that during Operation Flush that were carrying Dependant ID upandan.

Intelcorei7:
What are these ?

BruncleZuma:
Tdayof come and see ooo

U sir have formally joined the long list of nairalanders who r amusingly confused when it comes to Ind..

That is Thai

Sanskrit and later pali and their numerous derived language's have influenced the south east asian language's eg. Thai, Lao, Burmese, Khmer, Indonesian, Javanese, Malay etc

One of the many interesting info

Singapore from Sanskrit Singapura (Singha-pura the "lion city"

Jakarta from Sanskrit Jaya and kreta ("complete victory".

My last point on the matter....having academics and researchers working abroad at specific institutions does not equal having the technical know-how to design, industrialise and manufacture. Writing a thesis on a topic does not mean know-how. You're lying to yourself if you think 4 guys who specialise in radar, means its then possible to design & build radar for an A29 type programme. You would need dozens of radar specialists alone to pull that off. Its a huge task. Then add in flutter analysis, then add in vibration specialists, etc etc....10 years minimum as I say.

Britain sent a whole boat load of nuclear scientists who assisted the US build the 1st atom bomb. When those scientist returned to the U.K, Britain still wasn't able to build a bomb on it's own. It took a considerable further effort to get one that worked.

But anyways, its not impossible for Nigeria. Will just take time. Have a good weekend.

ssaengine:
I'm sure they are dozens of countries with an even higher number of their citizens in those Chinese institutions, but those countries will still find it difficult to get an A29 type program off the ground. People really do underestimate a large scale engineering project.

6 guys here, two guys there is not enough. If it was the other way around, with Chinese and/or other nationals permanently based in Nigeria with the specific intention of starting such a program it would be a different story.

That's how most countries start such endeavors. e.g Israeli scientists/engineers moving to SA to assist in certain weapons programs in the 80's.

iblawi:
Where is it?

bidexiii:
NAF ATR-42

ssaengine:
Nigeria would have to pull a massive golden rabbit out of its hat in order to convince Russia, China etc to partner in order to produce anything close to A-29. It would take 10 years minimum & cost a whole lot.

What critical aeronautical expertise would you bring to the project? Or rather which part of the project would you call shotgun on? Avionics, radar, weapons release?

It's not impossible, but don't be foo.led just because it's a prop driven aircraft. Such things work if you already have a large base of industry experts in your country working full time on similar projects.

ocelot2006:
I'm afraid you're wrong. The NPF does not have the AK-103 in its inventory. The present standard issue rifles are the Chinese Type-56-2 or the original Bulgarian copies of the AK-47 with foldstocks. Elite units like CTU,SPU, and even some MOPOL units/squadrons are equipped with Israeli upgraded AK-47 rifles. But NO AK-103s.

MrHistorian:
It's getting from bad to worse for this country.

NPF should seek sound legal advice and employ competent lawyers.

The way criminals abuse this 'rule of law' ehn.

newafricaken254:
which infrastructure ! and then training !is nigeria buying F-22 jets ! does uncle sam think Nigerians have never flown prop planes !

Henry240:
That prop plane from Brazil is even too over-hyped, how many wars has it actually even won?

I don't see the Russians using them in Syria, yet we know how that one went for IS and "moderate" militants in that country.

Invest in more attack helicopters, UAVs from China, fighter jets from China and Russia, while we get recon planes from the US. What Rubbish!

nemesis4u:
the point from where a contract is signed, it takes time to deliver especially if the lines r idle , and on confirmed orders , OEM places order for consumerables to hundreds/thousands of vendors and then waits for delivery , which again takes time and then plate cutting for fuselage is undertaken after materials r delivered , add in various tests and when the various components, consumerables r delivered integration begins which is interrupted by various tests at various stages , once the aircraft is completed , factory level tests then tests by the user etc takes places .

All in all just saying for any primary OEM time frame of delivery will be same give or take some months after the contract is finalized.

That's the reality which u guys r not aware or r overlooking

iblawi:
Forward ever bro. $600 million is not too much for Nigeria and I expect it to come with jf-17 too.

iblawi:
Countries that bought SU30 recently bought it between $50-$60 million depending on configuration.

jakeporeshenko:
Mi-24 for Senegal

iblawi:
we need around $600 million to get 10 SU-30.

iblawi:
Am sure there are many other conditions we haven't heard of. US is not willing to sell super Tucano to Nigeria.
