Any new delivery for the VT4 tanks to nigeria ?

Nigeria received only 6 in april 2020 at the delivery ceremony

kabe1:


No evidence of new Tank deliveries for Nigeria.

The President's office announced the single largest procurement of Armoured vehicles a few weeks back.

So, it's safe to assume we might be getting additional Tanks and Artillery systems.

as far as I know the original requirement was for 32 tanks or something close to that

Don't try to quote Sipri here bro, the guy you are trying to validate does not believe Sipri

first you say I love sipri then you say I don't believe sipri.... Just make up your mind bru

Omofaye99:


Some drowning military can't afford this


Even if you give them for free, they will be grounded in weeks

mmmmmm

MAN1960:


If you don't mind can I ask you why you love this picture so much?

I think you are obsessed with the Nigerian armed forces and you are upset with your Government not buying new toys for your armed forces, while you see the Nigerian government making New orders almost every three months, please calm down I know you are upset but that does not mean you take it out on us

Please let NIGERIA go

Let my people go

what is this:

jl115:
mmmmmm

foolery my bro.
Those jets weren't grounded for lack of funds but due to western arms embargo.

100 SANDF soldiers earn as much as 2 Nigerian Battalions

The SANDF a bloated army of cowardice

"The authors’ description of the battle that followed will take your breath away. South African deaths were inevitable. The equipment they requested and needed was out of commission in South Africa, helicopters and fighter aircraft were broken, and more booze was sent up for the troops than ammunition."

In other news China launched it's new aircraft carrier

East African CDFs and commanders have been in Nairobi planning for an operation to decimate the M23 rebels in Eastern DRC
Plus Tigray agreed to negotiations with Abiy Ahmed facilitated by Uhuru Kenyatta in Nairobi...an indication of Nairobis growing geopolitical influence in the region.

Makes sense

Except maybe China which holds a lot of US debt and the Americans are loathe to sanction or antagonize not even over Taiwan

Not a fan of the C-295. Political will, will get us the C-130J or even the C-5 Super Galaxy. We need enhanced strategic airlift capability.

Super Galaxy is a dream........has always been a USA exclusive aircraft right from C5A

This is why I don't like politicians writing supposedly unbiased news articles.... Just two weeks ago DAs shadow minister of Defence clearly stated in articles he wrote for the Daily maverick and for defence Web that there are 0 lynx helicopters operational......

They were not operational when he wrote those articles.

From Evert Kleynhans, Senior Lecturer at the SA Military Academy:

As we pause to those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom on the beaches of Normandy in June 1944, I would like to bring your attention to one of our own buried far away in plot X. A. 13 of the Bayeux War Cemetery in .
330688 Able Seaman John Barkley of the South African Naval Forces, seconded to the Royal Navy, and attached to HMS Copra for istrative purposes, died on Tuesday 6 June 1944 during the Allied invasion of Western Europe. He in all likelihood lost his life while serving on one of the landing craft during the invasion.
John, the son of Michael and Harriet Barkley, hailed from Southfield in the then Cape Province. He was 30 years of age when he ed away - about the age of some of my current students at the Military Academy.
I managed to locate his grave on a recent trip to when I lectured at the École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr (French Military Academy) - will post more on this in the next few days for those interested.
Lest we forget.

Turkish company Atesci has won a major contract in Nairobi to install ammunition production lines for the Kenya Army

So this is to be a completely different factory from FN Herstal in Eldoret? It does the same under Kenya Ordnance Factory. Will Atesci make the same 7.62 X 39 and 7.62 NATO or what exactly?

jl115:

- show me where they sold you more

.Show me our government or military source that says it only 6 that they purchased

jl115:

- nope that was the Nigerian Military on that documentary not the SANDF

That is actually SANDF present.

jl115:

- uhmm yes...it literally shows your date.

Well I own you no explanation

jl115:

-how many SPHs does Nigeria have according to you?

Not me but global firepower

jl115:

- everybody agrees with you except your own Government

My government also agress with me bro

jl115:

- nope that would be your opinion my bru

No, it my word and I can translate it to anything which becomes FACT.

jl115:

-why would I be frustrated by the fact that you don't have a TDL?

You ask me bro

jl115:


-GDF 007, umkhonto, Starstreak, kameelperd, Eetkoring, bosvark, skyshield

They have nothing above our defence

jl115:


- how?

What

jl115:

-nope they are just the countries that were able to develop a TDL along with SA.... Not even African military powerhouses like Egypt and Algeria have the TDL technology SA possess.

TDL does not make an army stronger bro

jl115:

- jeezes what a comeback bru

No we are just even

jl115:

- I have you a link and a photo of a armed Seeker 400 in SA... What more is there to give?

Lair

You gave me a link that says it can be armed but the SANDF have no armed drone in service if they have prove it

jl115:

- again... Your opinion doesn't equal fact

So is yours!

jl115:

- yes 2.5m at a swath width of 20km yes.....thats 2.5 times worse than the Kondor e never mind the fact that the spatial resolution for the kondor e is 5m vs 32m also did I mention Nigeriasat2 only has a lifespan of 7 years.... So its probably dead by now anyway

Na!

Our satellite is still very active and working fine that is what an advance satellite looks like, not some low graded satellite built for you by Russia and the worst part of it is that you don't even have control over your own satellite what a shame



- Also SA is tied with Egypt for having the most satellites in orbit[/quote]

Remained me how many is it active

jl115:
@Omofaye99

Show me anywhere in the link where it says we have only 6

jl115:
first you say I love sipri then you say I don't believe sipri.... Just make up your mind bru

Yes you don't believe Sipri, you only pick what suit you and reject what doesn't

jl115:
mmmmmm

And that was like how many years again

22 years Nigeria past is actually South Africa present and future

SA Military Academy team flies the flag high at international cyber strategy challenge

"The South African team, entered as the Cyber Soldiers, was one of four African teams selected. Major Engela Meintijies, Academy communication officer, reports the Saffer cyber soldiers were a surprise package, progressing to the semi-finals and being the last African team standing."

“Their achievement saw them beat experienced teams and finished as the best placed military team,” she said noting it was “a considerable achievement for a first-time team and coach”.

The Geneva Cyber 9/12 Strategy Challenge is a respected international competition designed to provide senior university students with a deeper understanding of the strategic and policy challenges associated with escalating cyber incidents and potential cyber conflict. The Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP) and the Atlantic Council host the event.

- David Smith Covered The Failed SANDF Battle of Bangui Against Seleka Rebels To Whom They Surrendered For The Mail & Guardian

David Smith-nobody

The result was that 280 troops with mainly light weapons and no armoured vehicles, found themselves facing attack by about 3 000 rebels, now competently led and ed by “technicals”, 30mm automatic grenade launchers and 73mm recoilless guns and with more to follow.

Only the skill and courage of the South African troops forced Seleka to propose a ceasefire.

You forgot the Cubans might help and yet they'd still predictably end up grounded

You can't bring back what as already been program to fail even aliens can't do it

Lurker4Long:

How does the process work in Kenya currently?

Its a nightmare process that takes approx 3 months...
First you have to go to your nearest police station where you live and make a formal request. And of course they are going to give you a hard time b4 they hand you the request form.
Then you have to get certified by a govt psychiatrist that you are not delusional or suicidal.
Then you have go to Nairobi for an interview with the licensing board where you will also give your bank statement, Tax returns and police clearance certificate certifying you are not a suspect or hv been convicted b4. You'll also have to write a letter explaining why you want to own a firearm.
After ing all these hurdles, they then take your finger prints and give you a smart card....


This process is not always straight forward and transparent.... You could go for months waiting for your licence...

Anyway, with Chalbi Industries promoting this competition and encouraging more civies to , here is to hoping the process will become simpler and staright forward.

Remained me how many is it active

- Show a Government source that you have more

- SA soldiers currently on deployment see pics

- well when you make unsubstantiated claims then you do owe an explanation... That's how debate works.

- lol my bru we have 43 G6, 15 upgraded G6, And 6 T5-52......Also since you love GFP so much where does SA rank and where does Nigeria rank?

- your government clearly states your budget is N1.2 trillion

- yes me to... So if I say we have f22 then that's a fact... See easy

- you said you have a TDL my bru

- except the fact that they are 50 years more modern

- a TDL is a force multiplier... That's literally what it does.

- if it can be armed then it's an armed drone my bru

- I know hence I've not given a single opinion but actual facts.

- how is it better when every specification shows the Kondor E is substantially better? Also the satellite is controlled by the South African intelligence service.... Also Nigeriasat2 has a life span of 7.5 years... They said if it survives 10 years then they would be very happy....it was lunched in 2011...so its probably dead.

- more than Nigeria
