Naah, this is the first prototype.

This is the vehicle in the field.

I also do recall you asking why Nigerian troops were sitting atop the vehicle.

So, why intentionally distort information?

It gets uglier with every picture you release

So, what were your soldiers doing in Cameroon twice in a short period of time along with civilians to the level of being disarmed. What makes me go down on my knees is your military spokesperson who commented on international news that his troops only went astray. What a F!! hehehehehe!!!
i have explained times over time that it was a tactical maneouver,go back to check my earlier posts.

Not even close... what you perceive as military strength in Nigeria is what we call low-class military.

In case you haven't been up to date with military happenings, countries like Algeria and South Africa are far advanced (I didn't include Egypt for the obvious reasons).

Weapons we field are very advanced compared to what you're accustomed to, from land to air via the seas Nigeria cannot and will not compare.

That photo you are laughing at is the first prototype Igirigi I APC prototype, the final product is reasonably different.

The first Rooivalk helicopter gunship prototype is an ugly vulture.

Sniper rifle will be wasted by Igirigi, then watch the Igirigi turn a 12.7mm Browning HMG on your sniper location and the sniper will meet his ancestors that day.

Nigerian defense industry is more advanced than Algeria or Ethiopia, only Egypt and SA can compete with Naija defence industry on this continent of Africa.

No other 100% black nation in the world has done what Nigeria has done.

APC's aren't designed to be beautiful, but the Igirigi is by no means ugly.

So we see the Igirigi was designed to be intentionally ugly.

It's an LAV with a Stanag level 2 ballistics Protection, which can be upgraded to level 3, a top speed of 110km/H and a 930KM range.

In it's class, it is amongst the best.

When we say beautiful, we aren't talking about sleek. Look at the hull of the Igirigi for example. Is it beautiful to you, as in, does it look functional and do parts fit together nicely? Does it look like shape and form work together?

Look at the hull of the South African APC, with the V-hull shape and the like. the V-Hull offers protection and you can see it when you look at the APC. You can see that attention was paid to dimension, height, the reduction of roll-overs - beyond ballistic protection. That's beautiful.In the same way that you'd say a rifle is beautiful.

The Igirigi is ugly from front to the back.

What about last week in Mubi? The general even got hurt while speeding his Toyota away from Boko Haram.

NTW with the 20mm barrel will punch right through it and through the one next to it.

Nigerian defence industry does not compete with South Africa, you have nothing which even compares to what we make.

Rooivalk is an advanced peice of hardware - Igiri is a armoured car. There is a difference

100% black nation is irrelevant.

Of the things that I listed to explain what "beautiful" means, why ask only about one? Why not ask about dimensions and everything else that I listed by way of example? I've got NO DOUBT in my mind that you read the whole post and that you know what I mean when I say you could say a rifle is beautiful.

It simply means you shouldn't you bloody dummy.

The vehicle you posted is an 8x8 and heavily armoured. The Igirigi is a 4x4, much in the same class as the Otokar Cobra 1, Cobra 2, and every other LAV in the market. That is what you should make a comparism with.

You claim to have a brain, now use it.

A simple V-shaped hull is 1970's tech (pic related)

Does it have blast funnels?

Is the engine block and suspension designed to absorb the impact?

Is the interior designed to prevent spinal injuries to the crew when the vehicle is hit?

Is it specially designed so that a side-impact will not roll the vehicle over?

Your first attempt at an MRAP is cute, keep at it for another... 40 years and you will be where we are today.

This technical maneuver thing is nothing but a cowardice. By the way, maneuvering is tantamount to fleeing. that's English of trying to lessen something more embarrassing seem more acceptable.

You are an id1ot, Henry. Class is irrelevant. How BEAUTY works in APCs is what matters. That's what you asked and that's what I showed you. Even if I'd put up a picture of an APC in the same class as the APC (although that would be an insult to that APC), you still would get the same post. Deal with the post and stop playing for time.

The igirigi is ugly in the way I explained in my post. Deal with that and leave the irrelevant stuff for another day.

You protested that APCs aren't made to be beautiful and I told you what we mean by beautiful. No reason for confusion.

Look here, go fool your village farmers with lies, DENEL modified the single launch/multiple launch mounting vehicle structure NOT the range or ceiling. The British sold you only hand held pieces, DENEL modified them to be carried on vehicles, thats all. Then the British winter thermostat that warms it up could be removed for tropical climate use, to avoid overheating because in winter missile systems can freeze, in South Africa you have a warm climate.

The max veiling remains 1km for eternity, and if SANDF landed in Ivory Coast war as you tried to do in 2011 from SAS Drakensberg, ECOWAS will not send Nigeria against you, we will send Togo Republic's Alpha Jets to fly at 2km ceiling and mass R.ape your weak and helpless Air-Defence-Less army grin

Show me proof of the enhanced range by DENEL, the Starstreak missile range has always been 5.5km to 6km since Britain sold it to you

.

You still posting stats for the Starstreak that is in service with the British Army?

This is relevant how?
