During operation Iraqi Freedom Iraq lost well over 3000 tanks.

Allied forces did not lose a single tank to hostile fire.

T-72M (which Iraq had) is absolutely terrible, because its armor is paper thin, AND THEY STORE THE AMMO IN THE TURRET which means that any minor penetration causes the entire tank to explode.

Did not lose a single tank 2 hostile fire..bro ur on a long thing bia henry120 is dis how this guy behaves...i can tell u near al bahsra...a skirmish or ambush by a mix.of gmp-2 and T-72 led to the loss of 10abram tanks and a couple of bradleys...a couple more abrams were lost to.friendly fire and subsequent dust haze dat envoloped the battle space soon after...the firsr engagement...mind u the M version has been upgraded to SIM versions

Audi Centre, Diamond Bank in consumer credit treaty

Quote:
Audi Centre, a subsidiary of Stallion Motors and franchisee of the brand’s nameplate in Nigeria, in collaboration with Diamond Bank, has brokered a flexible credit facility for customers aspiring to buy or own German engineered Audi vehicles at reasonable loan rates.

The initiative is synonymous with the planned federal government vehicle finance scheme aimed at helping prospective buyers’ source low interest credit financing. The facility is firstly, intended for Audi A6 and Q7 models.

Audi is a member of the “German Big 3” luxury automakers with BMW and Mercedes Benz, currently the three best selling luxury automakers in the world. Renowned for its slogan Vorsprung durch Technik, meaning ‘Advancement through Technology,’ the scheme, which is first of its kind, would help car freaks discover the uniqueness and ascendency of Audi engineered automobiles.

Anurag Shah, head of marketing for Audi Centre said: “We understand the evolving needs and preferences of our customers going by the overwhelming inquiries we have received to introduce the friendly credit schemes that could enable more customers switch to Audi.”

While explaining that the scheme will provide the best products and services to customers who want to experience Audi cutting-edge technology at attractive interest rate, he said beneficiaries would in addition, get free vehicle registration, insurance and free tracking for the first year. To access the scheme, customers are to walk into any Audi Centre in the country and indicate interest and a deal is struck within 24 hours, he assured.

He said: “We partnered with Diamond Bank because of the flexibility of its credit facility which will allow customers experience Audi cutting edge technology without much ado.”

Anurag expressed optimism that Audi will receive an overwhelming response to the essential campaign that promises to change the perception of automobile enthusiast including young patrons.” Audi has made remarkable strides in the global markets owing to high quality and emotional appeal of its products, which are renowned worldwide.

Audi A6 for instance has good handling in either front or all-wheel drive yet offering all the active-safety features found on its luxury peers such as front and rear parking sensors, rear-view camera, blind-spot monitors, a night-vision system, and a head-up display.

MudaZA, South-African banks aren't financing anything.

Henry120:


I knew "Rotation" would be next word out. It seems to be the word that's currently hot in the streets of pretoria.

Are your 26 grounded A109's also operated in rotation?

We have Aradu ,5 other corvettes, and missile crafts.

Putting all frigates and submarines at sea simultaneously, would leave the chief of navy without vessels to contribute if ever an emergency surfaced while they're undergoing maintenance or refit.

Like Nigeria today, if you were attacked at sea. Well let's just you'd be caught with your pants down.

I provided you information from SAAF on how the Gripens are operated to reduce costs.

* i didnt say that the decrease of gas supply this year was an intentional maneover by the nigerian FG,my words were "nigeria has recently cut power supply to ghana".we know that the WAPP is faulty,thereby hindering gas supply.earlier this year gas supply was cut due to excess flaring.of course,we arent doing favors neither are we in a gas supply partnership,we arent father chrismas,we're simply doing business.
*ghana conducts trade like a private kiosk.ghana restricts influx of foreign trade market domination,yet they want nigeria to open its market to accomodate unnecessary foreign intrusion.on what grounds?.lol,nigeria do not fear any competition,'cos we dont even have any.

It is just a new unit and isn't really combat tested at high seas or turbulent rivers.

The SBS is a specialised naval infantry, that's what you must know.

The South African navy has a special operations unit, not special forces. But they're better trained than your SBS.

"BAE Systems Land Systems South Africa is a subsidiary of BAE Systems Land Systems, itself part of BAE Systems Land and Armaments. BAE owns 75% of the company, DGD Technologies owns the remaining 25%."

BAE owns 75% of the company, nothing South-African there.

Yes your right it is a subsidiary of BAE Systems as you said, but it is still a South African company only the Parent company isnt South African, And Denel will be buying BAE land systems SA thus it will have a South African Parent company in the very very near future.

exactly!,ghana was the first country to approve of the EPA{europian partnership agreement},while nigeria opposed it.ghana was trying to influence other west african countries to adopt the EPA without proper ratification of some of the terms and conditions applied,not until nigeria refused to sign the EPA and demanded proper ratification of agreements before other countries{west african and east african} started seeing the sense in nigeria's stance.EU is now begging nigeria to sign the EPA.ghana behaves like an european puppet,running its economy like a private enterprise.really, mahama needs to be removed from power,nigeria recently cut gas supply to ghana and restricted ghana's trade import,predictably,ghana's already ailing economy crumbled,now ghana needs another IMF bailout,second in just 10 years!.

Kwaaaa! @BOLDED! Coming from someone who is a citizen from a one party state, this is laughable! Ghanaians have shown the mettle in changing governments when the need arises, receiving lectures about democracy from Nigerians is an insult. … What delusional lies are you making about EPA? First off! this agreement does not involve east Africans, secondly! You guys always W'ack off this your idea of controlling Ghana's economy, no wonder your country is the number one fraud capital on earth. What economic miracle exists in Nigeria? You only sit down for mannah(oil) to fall, whilst countries like Ghana do the hard work, see how your oil dependent economy is crumbling as a result of low prices in oil? Sloganiarism is the hallmark of the Nigerian, from giants of Africa to Africa's biggest economy, there is nothing to show for all these years of boastfulness. Y'all behave like the student whose father can't pay his school fees but has money to buy a cow to celebrate his birthday.

RIVERLINE WARFARE COMBATANTS GALORE!!!

A few years ago, Nigeria made a requisition for 200 river gunboats from the USA. This, according to information put out in the public domain at that time, was to enable the Nigerian military stay on top of the daunting security challenges in the vast, oil-bearing region that is the Niger Delta.

The eventual acquisition of a little over that number of boats from elsewhere was necessitated by the fact that the US were somewhat reluctant to assist in fulfilling this pressing requirement.

With the raging conflict in the creeks of the Niger delta, oil theft by organised syndicates,kidnapping,pirate attacks and petro-terrorism thriving regardless, the Nigerian Federal Government was thus constrained to look elsewhere for answers to pressing security challenges, in the process kickstarting what is easily the second-largest wholesale procurement and delivery of river patrol and landing craft anywhere in the world. The said procurement is exceeded in its scale, only by the delivery of 15-meter Swiftboats PCF and 9-meter PCR river gunboats to the US Forces who saw action in the Mekong Delta during the Vietnam War.

Alongside a pair of 38 metre Sea Eagle Offshore Patrol Craft, the entire haul of about 215 river gunboats and landing craft which came through the Suncraft-Strategic Marine partnership are believed to have been paid for in a Direct Intervention Funding deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars which was bankrolled by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.

The foregoing immense haul of platforms eventually came to the amphibious and special forces of the NA and to regular seamen of the Nigerian Navy and sheds light on the sheer size of the Area of Responsibilty to be manned in the vast wetlands region that is the Niger Delta, an area equal in size to Scotland and Belgium combined and encompassing a maze of 3,014 creeks and waterways.

The delivery of the said river gunboats and landing craft ensured that at the time of the commencement of the amnesty programme, the Nigerian military had made very significant gains in the task of providing security in the Niger Delta and consigned the insurgent action to the realm of sabotage of isolated pipelines in far-flung villages.

The more lucrative militant pastimes of kidnapping, pirate attacks and hijackings of shipping and oil tankers had been drastically curtailed. The supply and logistics chains of insurgent groups had also been severely disrupted.

Indeed, Ateke Tom, one of the four principal militia commanders affiliated to the umbrella MEND group was quoted as saying at the time that he acceded to the precepts of the amnesty programme, that the Joint Task Force had effectively blockaded the creeks and made movement of militants and supplies for his Niger Delta Vigilante, next to impossible. He thus chose the path to peace.

Again and following the delivery of these riverline warfare combatants, the Joint Task Force frequently went on the offensive, attacking militant camps and destroying hundreds of improvised and illegal oil refineries across the Niger Delta.

Renegade commanders such as the self-styled ‘General’ John Togo of the Niger Delta Liberation Force, who remained outside of the amnesty process, were attacked and pursued reentlessly until he was eventually killed in battle sometime in May 2011.

Moving on, the NAUTICA NOVA shipyards of Malaysia, Singapore Technologies Marine and a myriad of Nigerian boatyards are believed to have also constructed a range of numerous other river gunboats,military houseboats and landing craft for the Nigerian Navy’s regular seamen and SBS commandos. Those have not been listed here.

From the Western orbit, the haul of the RBS(Defender) boats from the USA consisted of 35 boats. Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats(RHIBs) and NC 27 Tactical Insertion/Deployment craft for the Navy’s Special Boat Service Command,an elite unit trained with Pakistani and Israeli assistance, were acquired from the USA.

Also intended for the benefit of naval SBS commandos and according to the website ‘stopwapenhandel’ , “the relationship between the Nigerian Navy and TP Marine(Holland) started in 2009 with the sale of 20 high-speed troop-carrying catamarans for 4.8 million euros. These K38 vessels “can providence covert striking power against critical targets, as well as protecting offshore resources and assets.” And accordion thing to TP Marine th ey are “Ideally suited for rapid response, Amphibious deployment or commands or regular patrol work.” The ultramodern 11.8-meter combat catamarans reportedly went into commercial production in 2009.

The Navy also reportedly received JEDI boats which are thought to have been in the dozens.
