jteku:
A multibillion Naira contract of D12 utility trucks,
More than 70 trucks bought by the Nigerian Army from Innoson vehicles.

Kabe2:
Nigerian Navy recently delivered AW-139 Helicopter.

This Helicopter cost the MOD 22 million dollars.

Egypt is getting 32 units of the AW-139 for 27.2 million dollars a unit.


Military equipments are not cheap.
The other three you're talking about it's the 109 version not AW139..

The Nigerian Navy would soon take delivery of 3 units of AW-139. Pilots have since been training in Italy to fly them.

These 3 units are purchased by the Ministry of Transport for the Nigerian Navy.

HORRORIZON:
They are, and it's stupid.

HORRORIZON:
Why does the nigeria air force camo paint their planes? That see so amateur and clownish. They need to just leave them as a standard neutral gray or light blue. It doesn't even make common sense to camo a plane with vegetation colors. I bet get getting the planes those colors added thousands to their cost.

SamuelAnyawu:
Mobile Police are in the Northeast . Mobile Police are usually part of the Military convoy movements here in NE.

Tho it's quite risky posting lots of them here if they don't stay in the trench with the Military. When BH attacked an FOB in Gajiram, it was just one of the BH Guntruck that brought down the police station killing three Mob police and abducting two. The police in thier numbers cannot engage someone using a DSHK with AK47.

True talk ....

marvin906:
you've got to be kidding me..
we are so focused on procurement that we are neglecting other aspects..
technology and communication infastructure

marvin906:
is this all...
we really need to upgrade and expand our infastructure

komekn:
Can you be specific.

An innoson poor copy cat of the Mercedes-Benz G- Wagon, which is the Chinese BAIC motors BJ80 it has a kerb weight of approx 2000kg.

The transmission, body frame ( chassis), drive train and Engine will weight a conservative 1400kg. Are they made in Nigeria ❓

Add the body shell, doors, etc suspension and wheels, that will be about 400kg at least

. Are they made in Nigeria also . ❓

We now process iron ore into steel and then have steel rolling mill to roll the steel. Then the innoson factory has lazer cutters to precision cut the steel.

I want to believe that we produce 100% Nigerian tyres in Nigeria and the tyres are sourced in Nigeria.

Now consider what you have said and respond substantively.

What % of Nigerian local content is in Innoson vehicles.

komekn:
What % of local sourced manufactured or raw materials content is in these vehicles to call them " made in Nigeria" Do you know ❓

Innoson is essentially assembling Chinese vehicle that could not meet the quality control standards in Europe and the Americas. At a premium price in Nigeria.

You are not more patriotic than me but I don't do window dressing and superficial praise singing �. I really want substance not spin.

The MRAP is just one of the varied number of multiple armoured platforms required by the NA.

Innoson vehicles are soft skinned and not particularly mechanically resilient and great off road.

But we should just buy it because it supposedly and arguably made in Nigeria.

GeneralFarouq:
Ph boy see kitting... arm and knee ,pad helmet mordern ak, classic veat,
Damn, thats enough enticement for pple to join them..
They do spend mkney on this guys

LTGEN:
The delivery of the AW139 is this part of the deep blue project that the Minister talked about?

SamuelAnyawu:
Two Helicopters almost pulled off my Roof right now Looks like the NAF are on point now...

bidexiii:
I think the video only shows ground coordination bombardment not airstrike.

First of all, which ISR asset his this ?

Coalition forces of Nigerian, Chadian and Cameroonian forces pound BHT position around lake chad basin area.

Kabe2:
Nigerian Navy takes delivery of AW-139 Helicopter

Odunayaw:
NTA? This is 2014 news man, we were all screaming the same that year. IMO We'd be getting less than 25 but more than 15

giles14:
yea I know just a projection.

komekn:
You are so caught up in your misguided idea of patriotism which really is denial of fault and or incompetence, but present the sub standard as excellent, that is the enthronement of mediocrity. You do the nation a disservice when you cannot criticize constructively and sweep all faults under the carpet. That is essentially SYCOPHANCY of which you have become the chief proponent.

Your first response is to cast aspersions and denigrate the competency of the Ugandan air force, you make no strategic regional comparison and our lack of strategic far reaching air superiority attack aircraft such as the SU-30.

But you go even further when you don't even consider the regional threats posed by multiple nations who could essentially wipe out our air force in a day. You then conclude we are getting the JF-17, that counters all potential threats, sorry that is a joke. Which country serious about air superiority will be buying Pakistani fighter aircraft.

The NAF have 15 Mi 24/ 35 Attack helicopters Sudan has 43, The NAF has 5 MI-8 large military helicopters Angola has 66, and we are the one fighting on multiple fronts.

The NAF has 13 Alpha jets and 8 FN-7 , how many of these China copied Mig 21's are operational, I read here about a number of them requiring major maintenance, apart from that they have been far less reliable than the much older Alpha jets.

It is as plain as DAYLIGHT the NAF is completely over stretched and does not have required aircraft for the job.

From all the you have said in your mind this is adequate lets hail PMB .

giles14:
your question should be would the Nigerian govt cough out #100+bn just for homemade MRAP?

giles14:
ntc kano , annamco enugu, pan Kaduna.also has the manpower and machinery.

Nigeria is good in neglecting good stuffs.
2000 ARA MRAP = cooperation + money + govt willpower+ materials availability (engine,transmission, suspension and amour grade steel)

slimthugchimee2:
I am just quoting the guy on how he thinks we can produce 2000mraps within a year, nawa

slimthugchimee2:
2000mraps within a year? In this same Nigeria?

Odunayaw:
Echoing ancient thoughts on this thread & Beegs blog or you're certain.

S400:
Algerian AF received its 1st upgraded Mi-171 SH helicopters from russia

the helicopter deeply modernised by integrating president-s DRICM system , ataka lazer guided ATGM ,LCD flat panel displays and GEO-ONV1-01M new night vision goggles for crew

giles14:
really never know more are coming.thought it was just 3

komekn:
Our airforce is stupendously outdated and ineffective by comparison to our peers in Africa.

Our comparative peers are Egypt, Algeria, South Africa, Angola all of thier airforces will simply blow us away like dust.

However, countries like Ethiopia, Sudan, Morocco Uganda, who are not on par with us, will also leave us for dead, particularly Sudan that's in our strategic zone of sorts. Has the capacity to strike us very badly without us having the capability to respond.

Uganda has SU30 and Ethiopia SU27 we are buying 3 Pakistani JF- 17 and some people here are commending our top brass and PMB.

Such are the depths of mediocrity we have sunk too.

giles14:
if the ARA is proven platform, and it's cheap compared to foreign variants, I believe requesting for emergency #100bn from the NASS to acquire at least 1000 locally made and assembled MRAP/IFV within a year or 2 won't be impossible.
we are losing a lot of young men and exposing more to PTSD without treatment.
