calling nigeria a french puppet is a big insult, if care is not taken, I'll find him and I'll break his leg he dare not say it in public ...

saengine:

This was not your original post fool. Your GRAND 500 post said Nigeria WILL HAVE C-803 anti ship missiles with a range of 300km. You have absolutely no proof to back up that statement. You just went onto the internet and found a missile with the longest range you can, so that you can say its 4 times more powerful than SA Frigates. Your own wikipedia link that you put up says the missile is unlikely to enter large scale production. Not even China's Navy purchased it according to your own link. Your GRAND 500 post is a massive failure. Massive. Make this post again in 2014 when we all know which missiles will be on your boats.

Originally planned to fly in 1987, the first prototype (serial number 39-1) took its maiden flight on 9 December 1988 with pilot Stig Holmström at the controls. During the test programme, concern surfaced about the aircraft's avionics, specifically the fly-by-wire flight control system (FCS), and the relaxed stability design configuration.

To rectify the first and earlier problem, Saab and US firm Calspan introduced major software improvements to the aircraft. A modified Lockheed NT-33A was used in testing; flight testing resumed within 15 months following the accident. The programme was again hindered when, on 8 August 1993, production aircraft 39102 was destroyed in an accident during an aerial display in Stockholm. Test pilot Rådeström lost control of the aircraft during a roll at low altitude, and the aircraft rapidly stalled, forcing him to eject.

NA GOD O. Thanks a million.

Hezron Lorraine: don't forget the NNS Armada-the aircraft carrier.though unofficially announced,but also coming soon.

I don't mean to sound like a "bad belle", but we do not have the money or the expertise to afford or maintain an aircraft carrier.

Don't you think this NNS Armada is just wishful thinking? To be honest with my self, I don't believe this NNS armanda story.

1 aircraft carrier cost = 4 billion dollars
Our defence budget. = 3.3 billion dollars

he may not have a source today to prove, but his first post on it said more helicopters than jets, and project slowed down due to pressure of funds. lets not judge yet, he said its proposed plan. lets wait and see near future.

Hezron Lorraine: NNS Armanda(something something,don't remember the full name) coming soon b4 end of 2015.its gonna be one of Nigeria's biggest warship.

Its gonna have carrying capacity of 6 fighter jets,12 helos.

(Its only stranded due to the large projects embarked on by the NN).its gonna be with world class artilleries,best technology so far.
#Naija on top.

beegeagle talked about 12 nigerian navy helicopters to be purchased from france, A550 Fennec helos.

it is a small aircraft carrier based on his post and could be second hand or custom built new in a cheap chines or indian shipyard i guess. so cost may be just $500 million and diesel powered, that class is called 'pocket size aircraft carriers' because they are small.

india purchased a second hand russian aircraft carrier for about $700 million recently.

nigeria may be looking for a forward offshore platform for helicopters to protect deep offshore oil rigs in quick response time. president jonathan said at this months army day celebrations that nigeria will focus on oil & gas protected by technology and powerful weapons, as his personal defence policy.

such a helicopter platform stationed deep off shore 200km from coast will give nigeria 30 minutes naval attack helicopter rapid response to any threat to our many scattered off shore oil and gas platforms, that 30 minutes will save lives and business compared to a 3 hour response time from surface slower sailing ships and vessels.

nigerian navy chief has said the new policy is to be at sea always and being ably to move anywhere there is threat without delay.

the money nigeria will lose if we dont protect our oil industry in just one year is equal to the value of all 350 warships and boats in the entire nigerian navy.

in the past 7 years all other african regional powers have spent billions of dollars to buy new warships and submarines for their already powerful navy, estimates are egypt spent $2 billion, south africa $3 billion, algeria $4 billion, nigeria less than $1 billion.

nigerian oil and gas revenue in the next 7 years is about $100 billion, the tiny 1% spent on nigerian navy for 7 years is too small, why not spend 5% of the money spread over 7 years to protect our oil and gas export business like algeria is doing now.

it is ten times cheaper to spend on powerful navy than to lose oil industry revenue of yearly billions of dollars.

the $4 billion dollar aircraft carriers are the american or NATO brand new large sized nuclear powered aircraft carriers.

the powerful chinese Type 056 frigate costs far below $100 million each while german valour frigate costs about $400 million each and the chinese warship is 4 times more deadly in missile power.

chinese JF-17 Block II jet is equal to Gripen jet but costs $25 million each while sweden's Gripen costs $50 million each.

those who have money to waste can keep buying european and american heavy weapons. china and india offer same weapons or even some times better for much cheaper prices. when last did nigeria buy british or american weapon ? its now china and india.

And the fact a gripen prototype crashed means what, it production model safety record is very high.

what do you expect him to say? brazil, Germany, US etc have said the same thing.

Did you hear of french troops or security personel on ground?

Or did you ear Nigeria begging for help from france?

Going by the news i'd say it's france that wants to lick our a*s. Even when their citizens were kidnapped and moved in to Nigeria, their troops could not even near our boarder.

It's such low level of intelligence you people have that cause you to fail in your operations.

andrewza:

no. We decided on our own and since france and ecowas agreed on same resolution, it was right to work together.

that's why it is unofficially announced.
You have a very valid point of arguement.but I can tell you its not a wish list.
In fact the exact cost is a little bit higher than your projection.
I have insider intel that the recovered loots of ex-military leaders are directed into funding some military projects.also a separate unknown account is fixed for impromptu fundings.so as to meet up with the global direction.
You really don't think we'd be procuring SUB's and not have a framework for an aircraft carrier.
Like I also said earlier,it is currently stranded due to the large projects the navy is currently undergoing.
If the right directive comes from the top(GEJ),top brass would put pressure on FG for immediate approval of their arrival.

Abeg let us get Subs first.

andrewza:

lets see, in ivory coast who did nigeria back, Sa who wanted there to be a diplomatic outcome or france who used force to install a government of their choosing.

Mike..ZA:
Let's compare then. South Africa produced the SAS Drakensburg,you might remember this supply warship,cause in 2010 it certainly appeared in "your area of influence" during the Ivory coast civil war,South Africa was flexing a military muscle in your face and letting you know who wears pants on the continent. Our ship yards have just finished upgrades on the SAS Galeshwe. Nigeria has the "upgrading capabilty" while SA has the "upgrade and building capability". Stick to "Nigeria armed forces can fight better than the SANDF,cause when it comes upgrading and designing weapons we are in a higher league than you.

Mr. AndrewZA I am reposting my comment below as a partial response to your dumb question.

You South Africans like to feel good about nothing! What difference does your "warship" make amongst other fishing boats when your spineless SANDF soldiers could not dare to step boots on Ivorien shores? Meanwhile Nigeria as usual was busy calling the diplomatic shots on the ECOWAS and UN levels and applying necessary pressures on Gbagbo to hand power to the duly elected President Alassane Ouattara. Nigeria's recognition of President Ouattara's election contrasts with South Africa's support for defeated Mr. Gbagbo.

Curiously, while South Africa continues to proudly support tyrants/dictators (Gbagbo and Ghaddafi) on the continent, clearly Nigeria has continued to make the right moves in the interest of democracy. Nigeria has where/when necessary deployed our military might to ensure stability in areas of conflict and instability on the continent. So far we have not failed or lost our missions!!

Poor SANDF ... more practice with Seleka will make them perfect someday!

Now kindly tell us why South Africa was in support a person who refused to accept the democratic will of the citizens of Ivory Coast?

...

Hezron Lorraine: that's why it is unofficially announced.

If the right directive comes from the top(GEJ),top brass would put pressure on FG for immediate approval of their arrival.

I really, really want to accept this as fact, but to be honest, I can't. If you had said a SUB, that I would concour with since nigerian navy personnel had a couple of years (2-3years) back under-gone submarine training in pakistan.

Yes, separate account for impromptu funding exists. However, what are our immediate threats? I'd list them : terrorism/ islamic insurgency
Piracy/ oil bunkering
Continent wide Peacekeeping

Which of these require an above 4 billion dollars procurement of an AIrcraft carrier for? Do we live in the same region with IRAN? NO!! Pakistan? NO!!, India? NO!!! Egypt? NO!!! North/ south korea? NO!! Russia? NO!!!
Who are our neighbours, cameroun, togo, benin, ghana. Lagos state has a GDP that is bigger than each and every one of those countries.

Which leaves us with PIRACY, most piracy attacks occur of the coast of bayelsa, delta state. The navy has established an Air mobility group FOB in warri, another in bayelsa. It makes absolute sense to say the navy are going to receive 12-15 helicopters. Abi, do you pursue pirates with Aircraft carriers, when you have an Air mobility base, one in warri and another in bayelsa.

Would a country that flies 12 F-7 jets, wake up one morning and sign agreements for the purchase of an aircraft carrier? No way man.


Don't you know that if President GEJ does that, he would be impeached.

Our current needs are COIN based fighter jets (SU-25 frog foot), more MRAPS to replace our toyota hilux (soft skin), light attack helicopters, additional OPV's for the navy, helicopters and Frigates etc etc .......... Not an above 4 billion dollar waste of money on an aircraft carrier.

I'm a patriot, but I'm not buying this story.

lets see, in ivory coast who did nigeria back, Sa who wanted there to be a diplomatic outcome or france who used force to install a government of their choosing.

Nigeria supported President Alassane Ouattara who won a free and fair election by defeating Laurent Gbagbo! Although SA continues to claim to be a democracy yet you have shamelessly continued to support tyranny/dictatorship all across Africa? As far as Nigeria is concerned there will be no room in ECOWAS rascality and impunity against the democratic will of the people. There will be no negotiation with tyrants who refuse to accept the will of the people!!


Again ponder on this:

NaijaPikinGidi:
... Meanwhile Nigeria as usual was busy calling the diplomatic shots on the ECOWAS and UN levels and applying necessary pressures on Gbagbo to hand power to the duly elected President Alassane Ouattara. Nigeria's recognition of President Ouattara's election contrasts with South Africa's support for defeated Mr. Gbagbo.

... South Africa continues to proudly support tyrants/dictators (Gbagbo and Ghaddafi) on the continent, clearly Nigeria has continued to make the right moves in the interest of democracy. Nigeria has where/when necessary deployed our military might to ensure stability in areas of conflict and instability on the continent. So far we have not failed or lost our missions!![/b]

Now kindly tell us why South Africa was in support a person who refused to accept the democratic will of the citizens of Ivory Coast?

Henry120: Made in nigeria APV

That vehicle is not an APV, look at it.... I do not think it can even withstand a heavy fire. Its weaknesses are wheels and wind screen. Why does it look like an ordinary civilian vehicle polished and modified a bit with armour.

Yet , you seem to forget that Nigeria on its own struggles to maintain stable democracy. No wonder their intervention in Africa is this minimal because they are afraid of being asked if their house is in order. SA remains the only true democracy in Africa.
