rka2:
Good interview with a NAF AVM. Who says the top brass are not aware of our needs.

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

nemesis4u:
LCA HESJA

Can you list Indian companies that manufacture radar warning receiver, missile warning suites (MAW) etc

Ibrahimanees:
exactly my thought, they could violate our airspace and there is nothing we can do about it.

US has armed drones stationed in our neighboring countries since.


UAV are being brought down by manpads in the Middleeast. We have enough of them . Nigeria F-7s are also armed for Air to Air so there's something we can do about it.


America doesn't need armed drones to spy you. Their Armed drones will easily be detected by radar systems on ground.

SBS parachute from one of NAF C-130 over benghazi, land safely,
Carry out assault on Libya mafias involve slave trade and it was successful.
Now time to evac
NAF C-130 land safely in Benghazi airport awaiting to evacuate SBS and rescued Nigeria citizens.
And Libya military, tribal gang and ISIS just sit and watch abi
Nigerian military don't have the capability to carry an assault in Libya period.

Since you don't have time for movies, create time and watch ,'Soldier of Benghazi' you will understand.

Those are SF work. Such mission is possible only with a very high level of secrecy, intelligence and a well maintained time frame.

It's something any decent SF can carry out. You don't need any military aircraft to be deployed.



Like I said you need a very high level of intelligence to do that .

According to research, the car dashboard, seats, air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen).

Alot of big vehicle manufacturers put this shit is place hence reason why their vehicles are expensive.

A Mercedes isn't just expensive because of its engine and others. Most manufacturers put this in place and therefore this reason isn't valid. Cost of curing some parts etc and suppressing the toxin contents are being considered.

Yes, there are contents of upholstery but alot of vehicles limit it. You simply can't neglect stop all these but the danger level is almost nonexistent.

Nigerdeltaboi:
movies ! I wish I had the time sef, meanwhile France is considering military action against slave trading in Libya while Africa watches
http://www.classikolic.com/2017/11/slave-trade-france-to-take-military.html?m=1 I wished AU still had balls like before.

If it was an European country, or NATO member will France consider a military action?

AU, only has to be blamed for not being able to mandate it's member to stop the slave trade within a given period of time and if such isn't done, then they can consider a military section.

Agbe. Lol na joke o.

Keep the good work. Brunclezuma give me a meme.

Odunayaw:
We must poach some guys from Reva company. The Reva is pretty

I admire the paint scheme. Simple and attractive.


DHQ however loves having its vehicles in CAMO Now.

Frumentum:
Re-look, slowly, Chkil's original post, your post, my post.
To re-iterate: the Nigerian Army could have itself of all those variants you admired on the Turkish vehicle when they bought REVA APCs, which come in even more variants. NA doctrine or their needs at the time militated against that.
In simple terms, they are not going to forgo the opportunity to acquire those capabilities[b] if they need them when transacting with an established supplier,[/b] for an untested platform that they're still evaluating. They're far more professional for that.

"Ambulance and crossing bridges"?
Where do you see that? A wheeled APC with bridge-laying equipment?
Now that's an engineering feat I'd love to see.

I feel it's something needed in the NE. The problem could have been funds. If we had to get a MRAP equipped with sensors, it will cost more and moreover getting hit by an IED means waste of money.


Any which way, If we had gotten our REVA in such configuration, it would have been a game changer in the NE+ a motion sensor.

Frumentum:
I'm confused. What's lacking in the REVA variants which the Turkish APCs have?
FLIR - check;
RWS - check;
Ambulance - NA bought those.

I included every variant of the Turkish vehicle that you wished for, which the NA could've acquired when transacting with ICP.
Hell, I left out 2 others!

Sorry, thought you were talking about variants such as ambulance, those for crossing bridges etc.

Let leave that.


What I'm trying to say is that we operate too much standard APC. We need something packing sensors and automatic fire powers. We already operate enough APC/MRAP where we make use of gunners. APC/MRAPS with sensors would have done better in the north east so I doubt it's about NA doctrine.

Frumentum:
Depends on Nigerian Army doctrine and they want, surely?
After all, they bought REVA APCs and didn't avail themselves of all these other variants:

Not really different variants like that. I am talking about arming proforce ARA with multiple configurations of turrets and sensors.

Enough firepower to make BHT run just by sighting it. Heard those guys hate the sound of those shilka.

Algerian1:
MRAP Kirpi Tunisian army

FLIR version
RWS version
ambulance version

I am waiting on Proforce to start arming ara in this way.

I want to see it in different variants.

horlams:
More like "Nigerian troops invade Libya, scores feared dead"

I give it to you. This is the Nigerian headline.

Algerian1:
without talking about interception, capacity , others systems associated with the s300 , they should start for location of launchers S 300 are mobile , hidden , not active in the same time ect.. even in peace time so in war time only fool will send its birds in algerian skies

How did You guys fund the purchase? I have always admired the s300 but guys at DHQ seems stucked with the Roland.


I really want to see Cameroon, Chad flying at least 2 squadrons of flankers.

lionel4power:
no! Turkish F4 2020 TERMINATOR phantoms jets configured for SEAD flying low and fast would have silenced the S-300. Using the SOM cruise missiles.

and guided by Boeing 737 AEW&C Peace Eagle

These cruise missiles will be intercepted by the s300 and other friendly ADS.

Ibrahimanees:
Is posing for a picture? Because that cap is just a hindrance.

I doubt it is. Some of our own SF make use of it on the battlefield. Same also WITH US SOC troops.

Surprised no-one talked about this.

MackyNaija:
The 'threat to life' with course attendance no be here.
Miss 3 classes and you are due for the next level grade! Meaning, no matter what you score, you can only get a B-grade maximum.


I am coping, the assignments are pouring in like.
I wish this part was different.

How effective is that over there.

My school has a rule which goes thus:

Miss a class with a note written prior = -1 point
Miss a class deliberately = -1.5
Miss a class three times = No test and sometimes no exam (depends on course and lecturer )
Miss a class 5-6 times in a semester = No exam.

Still some guys don't care.

HiddenShadow:
I thought DSS officers should be secret about their identity.

Anyway Nigeria is zoo full of zombies that don't know their code of conduct

It's an intelligence organization but not all of them do intel so some of them do not have their identity hidden. Depending on what your sector is.


There's also nothing to point to her as a DSS officer.

Nigeria park rangers.

nemesis4u:
guided artillery rockets

all by oneself without any help frankly speaking 5 years or more and even then not sure if its serial production will start at the end of 10 years.

if extensive foreign help and TOT taken then optimistically end of 5 years serial production should start .

if u approach a experienced OEM for help, they will ask u to base ur rocket closely on one of their products , for ease of development and cut down development time cycle and cost.

in real life things r quite different , anticipated project time delimitation is a an exercise which takes months to figure out , and here i did it in 10 seconds

development cost will vary , 100 million for guided artillery rockets at the minimum, not sure though

so as i say always plz take my opinions with a pinch of salt

Okay, missile development itself will be divided into things like

Dome
Seeker
Warhead
Guidance
Electronics
Power supply
Airframe
Insulation
Propulsion
Datalink
Flight control.

Now, NASDRA should have technology concerning Guidance, electronics, propulsion and Datalink. With CSTP experience in warhead and others.

I feel a joint venture between some organizations in Nigeria and the timeline should be well reduced.

nemesis4u:
for space rockets ?

staggered development of progressively powerful space rockets for low orbits to sun synchronous orbits to geostationary orbits and for increasing tonnages will require billions of dollars investment spread over a period of time .

impossible to put exact amount for me

anyways sounding rockets r a good start , many countries developed their rocket tech while starting from powerful sounding rockets.

For something like this.

JF-17.

LGBs test.

ActivateKruger:
Augububu you have been busted. I tracked your IP address, you live in Singapore, not the US as you always claim.

It's actually not always right. Can you check mine?

Damn! See comments.

barineh:
Is "CSTP" a Nigerian company

Center for Space Transport and Propulsion ( CSTP). It's a subsidiary of NASDRA.

Odunayaw:
Big men want returns/more money/interest. just look at our Military's spending, not really big ticket. So they just view the defence industry as nothing more than "national pride" and not a money spinner

It's also about interest. If they're willing to drop the money, then they'll make their cash.

We all know there's money is real Estate but then Dangote isn't there because of interest.

Odunayaw:
CSTP has really gone far in rocket technology but have been hampered by- wait for it- funds!.

Yes, CSTP owns the technology needed for this development.


How much can it cost to set up a facility @nemesis4u.

The problem is most of our big men here are into oil, real estate and telecommunication.

If we had them in defence. Dropping around $20M on a joint venture shouldn't be hard while you make your cash.

Nemesis4u. How feasible is developing guided ammunitions such as missiles, rockets etc.

How many years do you think will take a company to work on that successfully.

Nigeria already manufactures rockets. What do you think they need more and how far to go into something better as mentioned above.

#Koseleri. I love this man.
