THE BEST WAY TO USE FORCE IS TO SHOW IT WITHOUT USING IT. WHY DO WE NEED TO DISCLOSE OUR WEAPONS JUST FOR A SHOW. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE US, IN CASE YOU DONT KNOW, CHECK THE WORLD MILITARY AMADA MAGAZINE, WE ARE STILL NUMBER SEVEN THERE AND NUMBER ONE IN AFRICA. NIGERIA WILL SURPRISE U. |

The vehicles look like they were re-painted and look polished for the day. That said all this vehicles like some people clearly stated are 2nd world war machines that the average round from an anti-armor round could penetrate. This tanks seem vulnerable to RPG. In modern day warfare they can only survive some small arms fire!!!! Seriously if this is what we have,then we have a along way to go.I hope we do that sooner than later.frankly speaking,if not for the current insecurity challenges.Governments hardly cared about our military hardware & upgrades. Anyways, i hail our brothers in the military and there enduring courage despite such low tech hardware.They get the job done.Now come to think of it,what if this was there low tech display only.Other upgrades and newer versions are kept out of sight. |

sobaemma: hahahahahahha,lol,nigeria rule africa in terms of miltaryare u 4 realsee 4get the peace keeping issue and the au top rating of nigeria,is because of our population,u dont expect us to bring 2000 troops,and niger 200,ghana,400,and they will place them above us,if u think nigeria is that super why did they fought just a tribe 'biafra' that just got independence for few days with no plan of war ahead of them for almost 3 years with the help of the arabs and cant defeat,even when they had no foreign support,they only won afters years through blocking food supply send to them,so nigeria military cant fight??imagine we had war with another nation not a tribe that we dont ve access to their food supply,so wotz next?to me that cowadice act wont work,so dont protray nigeria military as if they are something while they are nothing No pun intended but I think you need to first win a war against your English blunders.... You call the whole Igbo nation just a tribe Serious? What is the definition of a nation? You are ready to pick a civil war that happened over half a century ago as a yardstick, yet you are quick to waive off ECOMOG exploits of these guys in a whiff. Do you think a war is just about total extermination of the opposition? Have you heard of ‘war crimes’ before? Do you know what it means? Do you know there are rules of engagement that apply in crisis resolution? Have you heard about the Geneva Convention? Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Mali, Sudan all have one thing in common when it comes to military intervention….and it is always kudos to our combatant men. |

25Calibre: The latest AK12 that is undergoing testing presently for the Russian army is a derivative of the AK47. Do a little research. |
Re: Pictures Of Military Hard-wares At The Army Day Celebration 2013 by ocelot2006(m): 12:30pm On Jul 12, 2013 |
Crassus: Due, you really want to compare the AK-47, the world's cheapest and most reliable rifle, to the AR-15, a rifle that jams most of the time?! Really?! Dude, if you had at least mentioned the German HK G-36 or the HK-417, that wouldve have been reasonable. Let's face it, the AK-47 floors most (if not all assault rifles) in reliability (a KEY requirement in battle), cost, and maybe calibre (it fires the bigger 7.62mm round instead of the usual 5.56 Nato rounds). On the downside, it is slightly heavier than the M-4 rifle cos of its use of wooden furniture and steel, instead of the composite polymer used by modern assault rifle. It's accuracy is also average due to the design of the rifle stock/butt and the firing mechanism that causes the barrel to wobble at high speeds. And it is quite old. 'still, that rifle is renowned world wide and is one reasoned it was copied by the Isrealis for their Galil Assault Rfle, the South Aricans for the R4 rifle, the Finnish Valmet, Serbian Zatzava, Chinese Type 56 and Type 56-2 rifles, and a host of others. That said, I do agree on the need to replqce these bare OBJ-006 rifles with more modern and modified rifles manufactured using a mix of steel and polymer. To reduce weight, and equipped with pistol grips and optics for accuracy. |

stildude: Hey man, couldn't click like o ur comment cos of the tone/choice of words however i click love to ur point. Thank you very much sir. Don't mind those haters of Nigeria. They have opportunities to leave this country but they have refused to do so. It is only a country ruled by illiterate fools that will display all the weapons in their arsenal (man united) for the world to see. Israel has atomic bombs but she is still concealing it. You don't show your enemy all you've got else, they will come better prepared. Also it is better you are underestimated than overestimated. |
Re: Pictures Of Military Hard-wares At The Army Day Celebration 2013 by ocelot2006(m): 12:41pm On Jul 12, 2013 |
jusRadical: The Russians already replaced the A-47 with the AK-101. It is already in use and has seen combat in Chechnya, Dagestan, and Georgia during the last Georgian-Russian. War that saw AK-101 equipped Russian soldiers bitch-slap and trash American+Isreali trained Georgian soldiers equipped with M-4 rifles 6-ways-to-Sunday. Oh, did I mention that the Russian Army Division involved was a 3rd-rate division? |

We may look down on our military for the weapons we see around, we have rocket launchers and oda sophisticated weapons. But if they are shown off to the public, many will be aware of what we have already and some of this generals will not be able to inflate the defence budget on aquiring wat we already have in stock.so by kipping it out of reach from the public they are safe from being questioned of recycling proposals for weapons we have already. The oda money will go to accounts of some govt officials.CORRUPTION @ THE HIGHEST! |

ocelot2006: Weldone bros. If AK47 is trash, I wonder why those countries are copying them. I also wonder why Russia is still manufacturing and improving on them. Some people don't make research. AK guns are among the most widely sold guns. |

25Calibre:A lady I know in Lagos once said the reason why she won't use BB is because "every id.iot is using it"(her word), therefore using it won't make her look special. Your average pros.titute can afford a Z10 but don't know how to maximize its sophisticated functions aside calling, receiving and pinging nonsense; Yet, a smart businessman can, with an "obsolete" Nokia 3110, initiate and close a deal worth millions of dollars. What makes them special is not the choice of weapon but how effective they can use it to accomplish their well defined mission. As an ex-barrack boy, I can authoritatively tell you that the NA knows more about this 'special rifles' than you can ever know. My dad(ex-242RECCE/Garisson Command Officer) use to bring foreign millitary magazines on 'special rifle' home - thats before their was such a thing as the internet. The NA can afford them but they have their reasons. |
Re: Pictures Of Military Hard-wares At The Army Day Celebration 2013 by Nobody: 1:08pm On Jul 12, 2013 |
SNCOQ3: Don't mind them. Afterall how much do the so called special guns cost that Nigeria cannot afford them. |

duni04: Most of the tanks were procured from second hand shops in downtown shanghai. How can u b even posing with scuba diving gear or parachute that some 16yr old's in some countries can use. Later they'll award 1 billion naira contract to buy 10 parachutes, height of stupidity ShyM-X: Mr knowitall.: Mr knowitall.: It never fails to amaze me the level of ignoramus in this country who pose as critics. At least try and read.. get a book or something before making ridiculous comments online, its just sad and leaves me smh at the bleak outlook for Nigerians if our youth can descend to the level of reasoning. First off, we all agree that the state of hardware in the Nigeria arsenal could be better. The Armed forces were not spared from the general state of decay which afflicted the country infrastructure under military rule, however the situation is no were near as bad as the daft commments in this thread tries to portray. It should be noted that, very few (if any) of the Military hardware on display are WW2 area or where manufactured in china. The hardware on display may not be the most cutting edge.. neither can one call them obsolete as most are still in service and in use by the top countries around the world like Britain, France and Turkey. The Panhard Sagie is robust armoured all terrain APC which is highly mobile and capable of amphibious operations. It is a veteran of the Ecomog years and is currently being used by the French mission to Mali Panhard AML Is a light armoured car with a 90mm quick firing low pressure gun equip with Night vision capability for night time ops, developed in France, the Panhard AML is a veteran of the Falkland war, and is currently in use by Israel, South Africa, Argentina, Portugal etc. [img]http://fbcdn-photos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/999485_482285328527225_1546622387_n.jpg [/img] The Panhard M3 VTT Is yet another French made APC which shares 95% working parts with the Panhard AML, it is made of all welded steel armour and is fully amphibious without preparation. It includes and optional AC system and a smoke grenade dischargers [img]http://fbcdn-photos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/s720x720/1017554_482285248527233_1734886141_n.jpg Otokar Cobra The cobra is a favorite of the Nigerian Army and has seen actions all over NE. It is developed by Turkish firm Otokar, it can be used as APC, Anti Tank, Reconnaissance, Ground Surveillance Radar and also has amphibious capabilities. It is a veteran of the battle of Tskinvali 2008 south Ossetia war. It is currently in use by the Turkish armed forces in their Afgahnistan ops FV103 Spartan is a tracked armoured personnel carrier of the British Army. It was developed as the APC variant of the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) family. The vehicle can carry up to 7 personnel, including 3 crew members. Armed with a single machine gun. It is currently in use by the Uk army. The best way to beat ignorance is with facts. We thank God for the Internet and anyone can always verify my claim and also think for themselves. The Nigerian armed forces has way more than what was displayed here. It is my hope that we acquire more hardware to meet our security challenges. You guys are free to research more into some of the hardware on display in the Army day in abuja. I just decided to highlight but a few in other to dispel the nay Sayers 3 Likes |

SNCOQ3: You are wrong hombre! First, Nigeria does not have an army, that thing you guys call an army is just a glorified militia. The "Nigerian army" I know are one of the most illiterate, ill-trained, indisciplined army you can find anywhere in the world. An army where any dimwit from the north who cant even spell his name can join and within few years, rise to rank of general, an army where there is complete disregard for the right of civillians, of course the Nigerian army don't know anything. A common hunter in the US knows more about guns than the NA. The few intellectuals in the Nigerian army are too corrupt to think properly and take logical decisions. |

Old this, old that, outdated this, outdated that... Yet you drive a 1990 honda, or don't even have one to boast of. One may drive an Audi 80, yet because of how well he can use it and maintain it, beat the shyt out of your more latest car on the road. Our Military have the hardware we need to face our challenges and are also improving. If you can seriously look at those pics of the refurbished and built hardware and still see nothing to applaud these guys about, then... Oh please don't bring up that issue of being a constructive critic. There is a huge difference between that and cynicism. |
