The current capacity is 4,500 megawatts.
“The cost of providing electricity per megawatt on average is $2billion. To get to where South Africa is, you will need about $3.2trillion (about N672trillion). Where will you find that kind of money?” he asked.

Once again, "where South Africa is" could NEVER mean 160 000 MW. Never.

Henry120 am not campaigning for any party oh......am just trying to confirm if what is on this picture A Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane is true.

You should really start shutting the f.cvk up. More and more you expose your ignorance on a grand scale.

Firstly the average Nigerian are5times poorer then the average township dweller in SA, now do you call that resilience.

Secondly you call your f..uckt.ards resilient yet you are the Africa's most disease ridden nation, including the fact that 10.% of your countryman who lives outside your sh....it hole are either yahoo boys, drug dealers or languishing in foreign jails. Do you call this resilience or cowardice DNA embedded in your genes.

Your Igbo Kingdom today is reflected by your lawless North, to the point where your small neighbors are aiding your coward FG to secure your diesel fume behind from total chaos.

So much for the giants of hot air.

snydergp:
Please explain what 3.1% out of a population of 180m means, then only can you spew nonsense. Go read reports by some of your own researchers on your disease burden then[b] I will help you verify or compile stats[/b]

Lol I saw this late.

It's funny how a troglodyte like you thinks he can educate a vastly exposed & knowledgeable guy like myself....... Lol It's just laughable.

I'm really tired & in no mood to respond appropriately to this diatribe... However, the simple fact you must accept is that; Nigeria completely lacks the needed technological advancement & infrastructure to deal with the complexities of drone operations, this is an irrefutable reality.

These aren't the paper kites you fly in your backyard, these are unmanned arial vehicles loaded with missiles, no country in their right mind will sell Nigeria drones, doing so will be akin to handing a 6 year old child a grenade.

Sort out the basics first, like electricity, good roads etc before you start dreaming of belonging to the big league.

That pic may be from a drone strike (which I highly doubt) but definitely not a Nigerian drone.

SirShymexx:
Flaming faggit, so in ya obtuse mind, the shifting coordinate, with no target, actually shot something in that video? - hysterical. That's how collateral damage happens all the time.

Also, when did AR-1 become a tank-buster?

Err, aren't you the same stark illiterate I smashed to bits on the SA military thread in 2013? I'm shared you write better now, at least that's an improvement, you primeval duffer.

MadCow1:
You may want to remove the question man at the 'foolish person' sentence, makes it sound senseless..

And yeah, I never claimed to know the full arsenal of the Nigerian Army, but I know that they have surveillance drones they they allegedly bought from Israrel because they announced it when they bought them. So based on that, I don't know them to own armed drones. There have been no information whatsoever of Nigeria manufacturing, buying nor leasing armed drones from anywhere.

And you may want to ease up on the insults, me and you no dey drag woman..

Now these are the Nigerian drones I know of and its not an armed drone..

SirShymexx:
Missy89,

Bwahahahaha. You have got time for these stark illiterates.

Just a mere look at the focal point of the coordinate shows that it wasn't even on target before the object was hit. Pray tell me how that happened?

These loutish and primeval apes don't even deserve a reply. Their brain cells are as primitive and obsolete as the Nigerian army gears and the alpha jets. Fvcking bonobos!

The topic clearly states that it was a boko haram tank which is very false.

Now AR1 missiles on CH -3 drones are armed by TV guided missiles which means that can only hit precision stationary targets. The AR1 cannot handle other types of guidance systems because the radars are usually too heavy for the drones to carry. So there is no way to put a heat seeking missle AR1 on a drone.

Now when you say that an antitank missile can have a huge explosion like that if it was propped up by inflammables, that can be true but it was clear that the target in the video had one direct impact. A situation that would lead to that kind of explosion if it was an anti tank missile will take several seconds after the first hit for other inflamables in the tank to fully explode and not the first hit since most antitank missles have very small armor penetrating radius

emmatok:
Thats not a drone, you can notice a shadow movement in the background.
And the bombed vehicle is too flat to be a Tank.

[color=#1980BC] Ok you are the first...happy?. [/color]

Henry120:
No, that shymexx guy is a bloody retarrd. Zukasteve, derkasier et al, made very valid/sound points.

The VBIED had a secondary explosion after the initial projectile from the CH-3A hit the jihadist vehicle.

The CH-3A carries two AR-1 ATGM's. The flow of debris moving forward also shows something from above and not a tank shell hit the VBIED.

It's a simple matter really.

Oskilala:
Ichidodo is very correct..it was a nearby tank strike, confirmed by the military.

Brownzola:
First time of commenting here since 2010. Did Nig Airforce have real drone that can take out anything or its just alpha jet, gunship helicopter or borrowed drone. Though d video is nt accessible here. Make una welcome me now.

SirShymexx:
Prick, did you read the link you posted? I know most of you have reading and comprehension problems, so I'll break it down for you.

Excepts:

Although operated by Pakistan, the CH-3 was not previously reported to be in service with Nigeria or neighbouring countries.

While the photographs show the UAV being inspected by African men, the claim that the CH-3 came down in Nigeria remains unconfirmed

Two guided munitions can be seen on the upside-down aircraft; one appears to be an AR-1 laser-guided missile, while the other may be an FT-5: a small Chinese guided bomb that was designed for use with UAVs.

Summary: the drone is operated by Pakistan (made in China), and how it got to naij is still a mystery. So, how's that Nigeria's?

Moreover, AR-1 missiles aren't tank-busters, just normal semi laser-guided missiles...and that alone should tell you that using it on a tank is just dumb. That's like shooting someone with a water-gun.

Also, even if you don't know about military, you should know that coordinate/target needs to be fixed before taking a shot. So, you expect me to believe the shifting crap in that video, no? Go take a nap - it's obvious you done lost ya darn cotton picking mind.

Missy89:
zukasteve , DerKaiser and all of you attacking Sirshymexx are actually the ignorant ones here.

He made a valid point. Only few drones can carry anti tank weapons because of the payload weight (They are usually deployed on Helicopters, APC or in person). Apart from the Hell fire missile used the the predator drone, there are few drones capable of doing the same.

Now its either the "drone" in the video is hitting a normal vehicle or the title of the video is not real.

It looks more like a surveillance drone and the explosion looks more like an IED. Even anti tank missile wouldn't have that huge explosive radius on a tank and a tank cant be as fast as it was seen in that video from that altitude.

SirShymexx:
More like it.

However, why did they put this tripe out there as a drone strike?

They are just making the country look stupid - only God knows who's reading this thread. Heck, when I saw drone strike on a tank by naij - I just started laughing without even seeing the video. But after seeing the video - I started shedding tears. Comic relief.

C'mon armed drones are top military hardware no country would give you access to like that. And the ones that carry tank-busters are exclusive to only the US and Israel for now (maybe a few European countries) - and there's absolutely no way in hell they'll allow naij near those birds. You don't want folks stealing that technology.

ichidodo:
[color=#1980BC] Not a tank...most definitely not a drone kill shot...Just a fleeing technical taken out by a nearby tank crew,the specific activity captured by an aerial drone... [/color]

MadCow1:
What is the source of this video?

Last time I checked, Nigeria didn't own any armed drones..

DerKaiser:
Olodo. What do you know about military hardwares? Pathetic armchair military analysts and failed wannabe rapper.

Do you have any idea what a target lock means? Drones and Jet fighters do not need to keep their crosshair on a locked target to hit it.

They acquire targets electronically and then let off the missiles which follows the targets using heat-seeking technology.

The crosshair following that vehicle was just monitoring its movement until the missile hits after which you can clearly see it retract its surveillance camera.

Use your brain for once sometimes before making silly comments or ignore topics you have no idea of.

SirShymexx:
Interesting.

However, how did Nigeria acquire military drones that carry hellfire missile tank-busters?

I believe only the US and Israel have that capability.

Impressive - but the coordinates look suspect. Shifting coordinates...and the target got hit perfectly, this is incredulous.

I hope this isn't another propaganda.

50calibre:
So this blurry picture is supposed to serve as proof that a Nigerian "drone" took out a boko haram tank?

When did Nigeria start operating UAVs? Where did they get it from? A country that barely has a functioning Air Force, all of a sudden possesses the skills & technical know-how involved in carrying out drone operations?

Does this sound plausible to anyone?

esegzie:
I CANT BE FOOLED; DRONE STRIKE VIDEOS ARE USUALLY INFRA-RED; THIS ONE GET COLOR AND SUPPOSED TANK WEY DEY MOVE AT 140KM/HR....

mustashfa:
Is either the video is not actually in Nigeria or the target is not a Tank. A tank is not fast like that.

Henry120:
Nigerians!!!!

You people complain too much. Nigerian troops like every other troops receive proper military burials.

Here is a cenotaph right in the middle of military cemetery in Abuja, in honour of our fallen troops.

January 15 of every year is armed forces remembrance day, with the President, Vice-President, Senate President, Speaker of the House, Governors and their deputies, Minister of Defence and all service chiefs and members of the diplomatic corp always in attendance.

How many countries in Africa do these?

I don't know what you are complaining about, i really don't know.


Medals are also awarded to troops for valour, courage, selflessness, operational efficiency to troops at ceremonies and on their treatment beds.

rka1:
My friend, different scenarios. The Chadian and South African soldiers were repatriated to the airport where ceremonies were held before they are then conveyed to their final destination.
If Nigerian soldiers are killed abroad, the same thing would happen when they are flown in at whichever airport they are received.
The Picture of the Nigerian burial was probably a more local burial at a State military cemetery. And just because the camera wasn't mounted on a tripod has no relevance whatsoever.

Meanwhile, BH can be largely defeated by your Army operating with decent ammunition supplies, proper comms systems, working logistics support. Fast jets, tanks are all important and may help a little and you may need them one day to face down other state players, but they will not win this war against BH; their huge costs mean soldiers will go on doing without the basic things they need so badly at platoon, company and battalion level – like radios and ammunition and body armour and medical support and……

IF ONE AMERICAN SOLDIER HAS TO GO INTO BATTLE, THAT SOLDIER WILL HAVE ENOUGH FORCE BEHIND HIM TO WIN AND THEN GET OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS WILL NOT BE ANOTHER VIETNAM
