NuclearBomber:
Nigeria bought the highest spec of the VT-4 tanks. Ours is the most expensive at over $5million each because it is Full options with added enhancements, specified by our armoured experts. I can confirm that ours is Far higher that the Pakistani version. Don't ask my source, just take what I said. The choice and specifications was done by the Ministry of Defence; so this is not a crap army procurement. There are loads of more contracts that are not even public, including the Future Nigerian Frigate program, that is top notch.

oh Guy u too is aware of the frigate program...

Tony Curtis Lyngdoh:
At least Nigeria Armed manufactures know how Military vehicle should look like.�
RIP Indian Manufactures
They design vehicle as close to Grabage

What an Indian Commented on my Page
Seems they are impressed

kabe1:
I don't think we have an AFB there. Our planes operate from there under the auspices of the MNJTF.

their Cheif Of Defense staff pleaded with our CAS to operate from Niger...
I know it's under MNJTF...
But NAF is planning to have an overseas base in Niger..
NAF alpha jet has been operating from Niger since our Mali deployment

kabe1:
Kainji is Nigeria's main training base. Alpha jets are based there. That's also were most of the Alpha Jet upgrades and reactivations are done.

i meant Our AFB we are setting up in Niger republic...
We have Two Alpha jet Stationed there currently...

kabe1:
I agree that the next hotspot on the global war on terror is the Sahel.

The fact about the matter is, Nigeria would never allow a foreign military base in the country.

The Nigerian president that would make the mistake of doing that would be impeached and imprisoned.

The United States already has a huge military presence in Africa, with permanent bases in Kenya, Djibouti and Niger. They can also use French bases in Chad, Ivory Coast and Mali.

thank u...
Nigeria will not allow any foreign military base...
From what I've read some of the Tucano will be deployed to Niger one of our AFB we are setting up there....
Two alpha jets are already there

Stormtrooper11:
Seems the americans are coming

it's not to Nigeria but Niger...

phazotron:
Which drone is that? Is it locally made?

nope it's the CH-3A from china

jpphilips:
Still baffles me how Nigeria claim to build & fly drones without military Satellite.

its not just a claim we've seen it for ourselves...
So why does it baffle u

NuclearBomber:
Yes, they need to have some presence on ground to get solid intel.

What are u even saying...
Guy no be American film abeg...
If they are even here for ur claimed purpose they should have gone to 103 Strike Group Yola or 102 composite Group Maiduguri...
Infact all classified Info are @ HQ NAF...
So that claim is baseless

AskiaHarem:
CAN I GET A LINK!

sorry no vex https://www.facebook.com/Nigeria-Defense-industries-563565107485448/

I'm also trying to get more information on Tsaigumi, NAFSA eagle and Ichoku combat drone from an Airforce guy...
He confirmed both Projects but he said he can't release pics for me that they are classified at the moment..
He's pretty old in the Force He sold me pics of his deployed to Liberia during ECOMOG.. He's like 30yrs in the Force

kabe1:
Military grunts from other countries are beginning to appreciate made in Nigeria hardware.

I see people posting our hardware from different countries especially in Europe.

of course what I'm trying to do is to let the world know what we're capable of....
That's why most times I target foreign military groups..

nemesis8u:
Nice

Also read accredited books etc downloadable free , to increase understanding and knowledge base relevant to ur interests . Pics is only 1/3 rd job , important is subject matter . Only then one will see things which others will not note in a pic and create a loyal fan base.

nemesis8u:
If I was biased

Nobody here would have been able to stand his/her ground wrt to any said topic as long as they kept to the technicalities.

Sometimes keeping quiet is not a sign of ignorance / acceptance.

I kept quite during almost all jf17 posts becz none of my business , it is normal for all to have pride of ownership . Why should I deny it to others . And I have zero interest in di*k measuring. Never did it .

(except for the link question and the article which I found humorous , u cannot deny I joke around here alot )

Read my old posts and see how I always maintained 2 different systems cannot be compared due to the uncertainty of parameters and there are only few technical parameters which r definitely known and which can be compared as standalone subsystems, if one wants to but nevertheless a futile effort when trying to compare the system as s whole.

Funnily what u implied on me ( ie bias ) is equally implied on u isn't it ? And hence what u post equally irrelevant isn't it ?

Anyways the links u asked

@toju I better not catch u lurking in the first link , I think u r pikin

Faithful007:
Please I learnt that the US are building an air base in kainji to house the super tucanos, I'd like to ask, is there any plan by the US to jointly use the base with Nigeria? are we going to see some sort of US military presence in Nigeria?

we are not Going to have any foreign military base in Nigeria..
They are just here to help us build the base cos it's in the deal we made...

komekn:
There is nothing to agree or disagree.

The terrain of the NE is quite diverse there are parts covered with thick shrubs as is normal in the Savannah and if you are talking Sambisa then its almost impossible for wide open spaces to be found and parts that are wide open but it varies.

But do you really need air assets in that environment with wide open spaces or definitive IFV's with RWS, LAV's, etc in good numbers to chase down Boko in search and destroy.

This $600 million package we paid for something with very limited use considering the multiple far better alternatives is huge waste of money IMO and will have limited capacity.

Niger has the A29 what difference has it made for them Quite disturbing is Ghana has bought them A29's but paid considerably less than us why eeee get as be.

We didn't pay 600mil for the Tucano and secondly Our neighbors hardly carry out Airstrikes against BHT so you can judge the Tucano using Niger as an example.Take Afghanistan as an example bro.

If Ghana paid less for tucano so what it isn't the same package we're receiving with them don't u get...
We're talking about The APWK or whatever it's called.. First of it's kind in the region and possibly Africa

Nigerian Army is really angry. Kee them all.💪🏼 pic.twitter.com/RBAugKkhHo

as artillery strikes continues on BHT

komekn:
First of all because you do not know, do not presume everyone is like you.

Secondly him being stupid is your opinion not mine

[color=#000099][/color] of course everyone is not like me and I don't know all..
But stop acting as if u know all

komekn:
First of all because you do not know, do not presume everyone is like you.

Secondly him being stupid is your opinion not mine

I didn't say he's stupid but for u to bring these ur lame opinions most times and at this point in time makes the commander looks as if he doesn't know what he's doing

komekn:
I am somewhat perplexed.

From my understanding Boko are very fluid moving from place to place not really having permanent basis in the first instance. That being the case and considering the type of weaponry they have,( predominant;y light weapons and HMG Gun trucks) why is the NA not getting , Up Close and personal straight into their camp and taking them out.

When an enemy is bunkered down firing rockets has only limited effect.

why do always feel u know best...
I know now you'll say it just your opinion but sorry to break it to you bro...
It's a stupid one...
You're always complaining over everything.
So the commanders that insisted on the artillery firing is stupid abi

[quote author=bidexiii post=88938689] It’s depends the type of target ?
If you have a fleeing enemy or enemy advancing fast towards your position. Likewise if your target is just in a fixed position, all this will determine how you prosecute your target.
This RM-70 is actually firing simultaneously;

RM-70 rocket artillery pounds Boko Haram positions. Notice the backboard of the RM-70 causes a brush fire pic.twitter.com/JHYobfdzq5

I know I was trying to make his question understandable

bidexiii:
It’s not slow, probably it’s the video dragging kind of ?
Rockets system are powered by a rocket motor that drives them. If you’ve actually noticed when rockets are lunched i:e MLRS rockets gradually come off the pad slowly, and gain most of their speed/momentum later.

what he meant was why wasn't the artillery firing simultaneously fast...

kabe1:
It is from IAV (International Armoured Vehicle) event held in January or February of this year.

That's the total information.

ooh ok

kabe1:
Nigeria’s current security operations
· The formal commission into service of a range of new indigenously designed and manufactured vehicles, including a new version of the Infantry Patrol Vehicle, a Tactical Patrol Vehicle, Armoured Personnel Carrier and Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected vehicle
· Feedback from recent exercises and Peace Support Operations

update on the Kabe1 pls

KingAzubuike:
I've honestly never seen them in operation.

I've seen them Alot in the north east mostly the ones with Orsis T-5000

BlackBaron:
Tsaigumi has never been shown conducting reconnaissance since commissioning. I'll eat my hat if Ichoku is anything closer to reality than words they keep releasing.

Some of the drones able to do their work efficiently rely on IP, technology and patents we don't even seem to have access to. We could get there via R& D but takes significant money, years of experience and the best brains.

maybe she's not deployed to NE but I heard a few of the Drones will be stationed I'm Calabar AFB,Kaduna too..

BlackBaron:
Hmmn. If Uavision is entry level. I don't know what to call this new partners they got.
In other words, I hope the new guys are up to task. I have read development history of some countries drone programmes and they are very challenging and painstaking.

Knowing Nigeria and not having time for patience, let's hope they'll get all the time they need.

Also this means Tsaugaimi was just a farce?

Nope.....
Tsaigumi isn't a farce...
We just want to look further and deeper into UAV technology..
By the the y'all know they are working on the Ichoku combat drone...So....let them do wat they do

slimthugchimee2:
Steyr?

Yes

KingAzubuike:
Do we at all have snipers in the nigerian army? They seem to be very rare.

yes we do they operate the ORIS T-5000,Draganov,DPMS and two others I can't remember[quote][/quote]

abduleez1:
What is the name of the rifle held by SBS operatives?
