Henry240: Please dont take this to be provocative, But I really dont think it makes much sense to refit the Aradu. It would be a better investment to replace it. 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 4:18pm On Feb 06, 2016 |
patches689: Provocative...... Nope! Aradu is due for a replacement. I've always been of the opinion that Aradu be replaced. 3 chinese Corvettes are enough for our Naval needs. However if the Aradu refit isn't too financially demanding, the Navy should go on with it, as well as ordering 3 new corvettes. Who needs a Frigate, when corvettes can fire missiles from over 1500km |

Henry240:@Henry pls NN needs capable vessels, we shouldn't settle for less. . Agreed, considering the current threat assessment of our geographical area it might not be prudent to buy frigates... but what about the future. Frigates are the barest minimum for any navy defending a sizable landmass like Nigeria. in my own opinion, i'll say the NN needs a minimum of 4 super-capable frigates and if the politicians decides to be generous, they might top it off with 2 destroyers. . The purpose of large warships is not just to fire missiles to '1500km' range alone, can they handle the same amount of firepower they dish out? they also acts as deterent against foreign aggression. Presently it appears that warfare will morph more into the unconventional since major sea battles is as been fading since the cold war. when people talk about how destroyers and Frigate days are over sometimes I wonder whether they are actually looking at the navies if major countries this year 2016. how many navies have dropped their frigates fir corvettes. our country can afford top-of-the-line frigates if we want to but with this our mentality The NN will only sail with OPVs.

Stephandeswardt: Nigerian Navy P18N class corvettes last up to 20 days at sea. A basic C18 Type056 corvette carries 8x SAM and 4x Anti-Ship missiles. 3 units are certainly better than buying just one Frigate. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 7:41pm On Feb 06, 2016 |
lionel4power: Agreed you make a lot of sense! However, I still say 3 Corvettes and an overhauled Aradu. If you don't like it, come shoot me! LOL! |

Henry240:Judging by the photo's ive seen of Nigerias P18Ns i can't see were they can be fitted with SAMs, but i do agree they can carry up to 4 ASMs. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by MikeCZAR: 8:33pm On Feb 06, 2016 |
Henry240:Agreed. Besides Nigeria doesn't have a huge search and rescue area of responsibility. Aradu should be used as a target during a naval exercise. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I know it's not Thursday but here's a nice throwback. Rooivalk: I still believe the successful deployment of the attack helicopter in the DRC has shown to the world a slight peak of this helicopter's effectiveness in combat and other missions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlweMAzUodQ |

Henry240: Your photo shows NNS Aradu anchored close to the dry dock and refitted ships. She is likely close to her turn for refit. For NN 2016-2030, I would suggest. 1. Refitted, slightly modernized-upgraded, fully reloaded and armed as missile frigate NNS Aradu $80 million maximum cost for 15 years life span, or else brand new P18N missile armed light frigate $120 million for 30 year life span. 2. One second hand Type 039 Song Class submarine from China $120 million for 20 year life span. Total cost $200 to $250 million for conventional warfare fleet 2016-2030. Economic reality. The other acquisitions for the next 15 years will be OPV, MPV, IPV, logistics support/supply ships, auxillary ships, long range patrol/SAR/Interceptor and insertion helicopters AW 139 and long range cheap Niger Delta patrol Super Mushashak turboprop aircraft. However, the navy has officially decided 2016 : 1. Potential NNS Aradu refit 2. Refit of about ten old vessels of approx 58m sizes. 2. Four brand new missile patrol boats, two units each of 24m and 35m guided missile armed fast attack crafts. Approx total cost $120 million. Paid for. 3. One brand new Landing Ship Tank, budgeted for. 4. One brand new Survey vessel, budgeted for. (Nigeria's 'EEZ' limit about to be expanded by UN, need to do new territory survey and draw new national hydrological map) 5. 100 IPVs. All paid for. 6. Wants eight long range patrol helicopters, funds not yet granted .
