Some people have asked, why does the Nigerian Navy need a ship like this when we have a BHT and Bandit problem. - First, the Nigerian Navy has always had heavy Sea lift capabilities, the ship is expected to restore our Sea lift capability, and the Navy's ORBAT. - The Nigerian military's recent military deployment to Gambia showed a major flaw in our response capability, while we rapidly deployed nearly 800 men to Senegal, we could not send in any armour. With a ship like this we would be able to rapidly supply men and armour, APCs, Tanks, IFVs and MRAPs where and when we need them. - Humanitarian capabilities, the Nigerian Air Force has flown thousands of hours of humanitarian flights in the last 10 years. NNS Kada allows Nigeria to deploy massive humanitarian aid to countries across Africa in much, much larger volumes. - Gunboat diplomacy, the presence of NNS Kada can help deter conflict in the region. It is also a piece of floating Nigerian culture. 7 Likes 1 Share |

QuietMynd: Idk why I'm just seeing your post. For those who look deeper than the reposted MSM pix its very relevant for the following reasons: -the NYT lied,not for the first or last time as the Juke situation shows yet forumers still take their outtakes as gospel. -the money KDF invests in training and equipment is well spent as nighttime CAS ops are wayyyy more tricky than Hollywood would have us believe. The comms,NVGs,procedures and tactics all worked! -army aviation is critical-imagine the response if the KAF had the MDs/MGs instead of the army? I doubt they'd have responded immediately. -foreign forces may not be as hot as we assume?

Lagos traffic! I'm flying to Ghana on Tuesday, and therefore need a Covid test. The only place acceptable to my medical aid is 4.5km away and the quickest travel time is 38min at midnight, on a Saturday!

Any African country that finds itself with a fertilizer, wheat, or oil shortage has themselves to blame. There is a willing selling in Russia at low prices, you don't have to be intelligent to figure out how to buy The us and Europe have not only created this crisis but are violating their own sanctions by buying oil and actually even hoarding fertilizer. Foreign reserves of Yuan and Rubble's should be being bought and CHIPS should account for half of transactions instead of only SWIFT 3 Likes |

Lurker4Long: Even as a Nigerian, I can stay in Lagos. The traffic is mad expecially on working day. Am sure you've not been in traffic for 3 hours that's why you are complaining of 38 mins. Those that know Lagos well know the best route to their destination at any given time. |

RiceProducers: Most of Ukrainian military equipment were destroyed in the first few days of the war. The 3 major weapons that made them slow the Russians down were supplied by NATO members. Javelin, Stinger MANPAN And TB2 drone. Plus all the media moral booster, media instigated free foreign fighter and economic sanctions.

Mali managed to get its choppers just in time. Mali receives Mi-24s and radars from Russia Mali’s military has received two Mi-24P attack helicopters from Russia as part of continuing efforts to bolster the country’s armed forces. The Forces Armees Maliennes (FAMA) said a batch of equipment from Russia was received by Defence Minister Sadio Camara at Bamako-Senou Airport on 30 March. The equipment, delivered by a Russian Air Force An-124 transport under a longstanding agreement with Russia, included attack helicopters and radar systems (Protivnik-GE/59N6-TE mobile radars). The Mi-24Ps add to the four Mi-35s received earlier from Russia. The final two Mi-35s arrived in Mali in January 2021, following a 2016 contract for four of the aircraft, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). The first two were delivered in 2017. SIPRI also reports that four Mi-171Sh helicopters were received in 2021 under a $61 million deal that includes training and weaponry. https://www.defenceweb.co.za/aerospace/military-helicopters/mali-receives-mi-24s-and-radars-from-russia/
