That looks like a large amount but it not enough for full tank force. Most would be spent on basic gear and better logidtical equipment and not on tanks. So you will see more MRAPS, Trucks, body armour, tents, radios, extra.

Thanks for the explanation. What are other necessary needs for the military that can fit into the budget?

The Admin, who I believe is a top level Russian operator gave a proper clap back at those guys complaining. Man, I don't think I've seen our guys with POV gopro cameras in combat, apart from training videos.

It would be nice to see our commandos in combat.

He's probably one.

Apart from @Jake, is anyone else on here following the Mighty Russia page on instagram?

If you aren't, you are missing quite a lot. I mean, the Russians are kicking major ass in Syria, especially those SSO guys.

The Russians, Special forces have been way more effective than US and British commandos in Syria.

Those Russians bring major pain to the fight.

I am.

So don't say it's Chinese

Read carefully again. chinese standard OEM laws means the product is Chinese.

No, it's Pakistani

Hence it has a different name and is sold by a different company

JF17 is a Joint project between the Chinese and Pakistani. Without appropriate confirmation, you can't say who's product it is.

The technology used are mostly Chinese and according to the normal standard Chinese law products belongs to the Chinese except OEM /ODM/CM agreement says otherwise.

Conclusion, you can't say whose product it is without an official confirmation.

They can communicate with base stations. However he backpack radio should be able to pick up to 32-50km and communication depends on terrain.

Well as it happens, the Nigerian army would order 90k rifles top. There are other things we should be producing ,rifles shouldn't be one of them.

There are simply so many good choices available. If country A says no to a sale, we simply move to country G, that's how widely available rifles are.

Not so much for heavy equipment, APC and ammo which takes time to deliver. We should straighten up our priorities.

Anyway, we'll all wait and see how the production line progresses. However what is actual fact is the M762 Beryl would be made in Nigeria.

I agree for a production line for the Tavor-21 round.

Henry what's your take on radio coms manufacturing in Nigeria?

The commander said they did not open fire on them as a result because they did not know whether they are the chibok girls or not. I think the military is just trying to justify its failure to rescue the chibok girls

Chinese carrier enters South China Sea amid renewed tension

A group of Chinese warships led by the country's sole aircraft carrier entered the top half of the South China Sea on Monday after passing south of Taiwan, the self-ruled island's Defense Ministry said of what China has termed a routine exercise.

The move comes amid renewed tension over Taiwan, which Beijing claims as its own, ineligible for state-to-state relations, following U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's telephone call with the island's president that upset Beijing.

The Soviet-built Liaoning aircraft carrier has taken part in previous exercises, including some in the South China Sea, but China is years away from perfecting carrier operations similar to those the United States has practiced for decades.

Taiwan's Defense Ministry said the carrier, accompanied by five vessels, passed southeast of the Pratas Islands, which are controlled by Taiwan, heading southwest.

The carrier group earlier passed 90 nautical miles south of Taiwan's southernmost point via the Bashi Channel, between Taiwan and the Philippines.

"Staying vigilant and flexible has always been the normal method of maintaining airspace security," said ministry spokesman Chen Chung-chi, declining to say whether Taiwan fighter jets were scrambled or if submarines had been deployed.

Chen said the ministry was continuing to "monitor and grasp the situation".

Senior Taiwan opposition Nationalist lawmaker Johnny Chiang said the Liaoning exercise was China's signal to the United States that it has broken through the "first island chain", an area that includes Japan's Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan.

In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said people should not read too much into what the carrier was up to, as its movements were within the law.

"Our Liaoning should enjoy in accordance with the law freedom of navigation and overflight as set by international law, and we hope all sides can respect this right of China's," she told a daily news briefing.

Influential state-run Chinese tabloid the Global Times said the exercise showed how the carrier was improving its combat capabilities and that it should now sail even further afield.

"The Chinese fleet will cruise to the Eastern Pacific sooner or later. When China's aircraft carrier fleet appears in offshore areas of the U.S. one day, it will trigger intense thinking about maritime rules," the newspaper said in an editorial.

China has been angered recently by U.S. naval patrols near islands that China claims in the South China Sea. This month, a Chinese navy ship seized a U.S. underwater drone in the South China Sea. China later returned it.

Japan said late on Sunday it had spotted six Chinese naval vessels including the Liaoning traveling through the passage between Miyako and Okinawa and into the Pacific.
Japan's top government spokesman said on Monday the voyage showed China's expanding military capability and Japan was closely monitoring it.

China's air force conducted long-range drills this month above the East and South China Seas that rattled Japan and Taiwan. China said those exercises were also routine.

Last December, the defense ministry confirmed China was building a second aircraft carrier but its launch date is unclear. The aircraft carrier program is a state secret.

Beijing could build multiple aircraft carriers over the next 15 years, the Pentagon said in a report last year.

China claims most of the South China Sea through which about $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year. Neighbors Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam also have claims.

martineverest:
hmmmmm....will u say eletronics,control engr,power engineeering,telecommunication engineering etc arent branches of electrical engineering??

Alsmost all schools in US;UK,canada,australia and EU locate their aerospace under mechanical.

I wouldnt be surprised if u say biomechanical and medical engineering arent under mechanical

Not even MIT has aerospace engineering under mechanical. Can you list the schools that have aerospace under mechanical?? Most schools has aerospace on its own or something like Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical , school of aeronautics and Astronautical Engineering. You can't put aerospace under mechanical. Purdue, Michigan etc.
The schools you're talking of probably don't have aerospace engineering as a course on its own. Aeronautics and astronautical engineering are combined "most" of the time and not with mechanical.

About the electrical engineering you made mention of, most engineering deals with electrical doesn't make them under electrical. I'm not sure of the courses you made mention of but aerospace engineering itself deals with electrical alot too

martineverest:
like u said,it depends on ur major.

Aerodynamics and jet propulsion are purely mechanical. Aerostructures
is a combination of mechanical and material science.its only Avionics is that is electrical .

Take it or leave it,aerospace,automobile,marine etc are all branches of mech. Engineeering

You could have said they're all branches of engineering and not Engineering or probably Aerospace and marine engineering are advance aspect of mechanical.

You can still stick to your opinion. It's your opinion and not a fact
