Report was posted here last year and confirmed SAN chased pirates but could NEVER catch one

There are very few pirates in Mozambique waters because there is NOTHING valuable there except fishes

Put Nigeria and Angola's oil and gas in Mozambique channels with all the oil companies working there, then you will see piracy beyond what the whole SADC navies can control....your region has no single stealth OPV and modern MPA aircraft to do the job
.

Pirates know well that SAN is not a park where you can just walk over with impunity. We really do not need an OPV to send a strong message to them.

Overnight, Nigerian Army Artillery shells flashing across sky, explosions thundering across fields. Madagali environs hammered.

The #Nigeria CH3 A1-Air-Ground missile armed UAV that crashed at Dumge village N.E Nigeria has been retrieved

Orange colour boat might be choice for easy ID at sea in deep offshore waters, it is unique and the crew knows their boat different from pirates boats at sea, easy ID at a distance if sailors want to shoot at pirates or see how their own boat crew is faring afar off, also easy to see in storm for rescue and pick up.

LOL, you are always intimidated by Nigerian Navy's stealth fleet of 2 units of OPVs, 2 units of MPVs, 60 units of IPVs, 62 stealth vessels that South African navy does NOT have....reason why you say Nigerian stealth ships are not stealth, LOL...stealth capability built in Europe and Asia...Manufacturer specs clearly and repeatedly says NNS Centenary is stealth and TOTALLY invisible to enemy radar at a long distance, only at close distance will radar detect a much smaller image and think it is a canoe or tiny fishing boat.

The video also shows the sea trials prove the ship is modular and can be easily reconfigured from OPV to light frigate in case war arises, the ship has amidships on deck midpoint vertical missile launchers and astern mid deck vertical rocket launchers, all tested at sea before hand over to NN, but likely all launchers removed after testing and debugging to return it to regular OPV status. The missile test is shown in the video at minutes 1:30 to 1:40, clean and clear !

It's no big deal to understand for intelligent folks....

Sure it may be use full for rescue work. But it is big orange and shows up on radar

They not stealth. You can see the mast has straight lines and flat sides. The're are flat surfaces and clutter every where. I would give her a 50% reduction. Yes small but far from tiny. Not to menstio she has no reducstio in thermal.


Please find them. To make you halt I will even post close up shots of her.

We refused training I g because we did not need it. In fact the ambushed trooper performed well.

How many you getting.

http://info-news.eu/ukraine-delivered-t-72ab-tanks-and-btr-4e-apcs-to-nigeria/

Ukraine Industrial, referring to Nigerian source “Beegeagle’s Blog”, published information about the delivery of Soviet-made T-72AB tanks and modern Ukrainian BTR-4E APCs.

Previously there was no information about contracts on delivery of such armaments to Nigeria. However, the information about the repair works of T-72AV at State Enterprise “Lviv Armor Repair Plant” appeared in September 2014. Concerning the BTR-4E, it seems that small part of 42 BTR-4E APCs batch designed for Iraq, was sold to Nigeria, after Iraq refused to accept them.

On March 26, 2014, Ukraine’s ex-PM Yulia Tymoshenko asked the Security Service of Ukraine to investigate the sale of military equipment to foreign states during the time of Russian military aggression against Ukraine. She also noted, that she had the information about the preparation of delivery of T-72 tanks and BTR-4E APCs to Nigeria.

Valeriy Heletey, then-Defense Minister of Ukraine, refuted some part of Tymoshenko’s statements, while confirmed the existence of a sales contract between Ukraine and Nigeria. “The contract was signed during the presidency of Viktor Yanukovych, and in case of inability to fulfill this contract, Ukraine will be obliged to pay the penalties.” – said Mr. Heletey.

According to unofficial information, in 2014, the Democratic Republic of Congo received a batch of modernized T-64B1M tanks in the framework of sales contract for 50 such tanks. However, 12 T-64B1M from that batch were delivered to the National Guard of Ukraine.

Yes? No? Maybe?

What an Olodo. Where did they refute the fact that the Jet was lost? Wasn't it the NAF that reported one of their Alpha Jets missing? What they were denying was the photograph which was super-imposed, as such, they denied it was the actual pilot.

“The picture of a man beheaded in the video is superimposed,” he said without elaborating. “Our plane is still missing and we are looking for it. Boko Haram is just making unfounded claims.” - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/10/confusion-beheading-air-force-pilot-captured-killed/#sthash.aIk96aqW.dpuf

Why on earth can't I post a tweet about the UAV's retrieval if that was what happened?

Crashed jets are retried all the time. You could use a helicopter or truck to get it done.

There is no wealth and riches inside your poverty stricken oceans to attract sea pirates, thieves don't go to where there is nothing valuable to steal. Transfer Angola's oil and gas wealth to South African ocean and swarms of pirates will relocate to your backyard.....then you get screwed, your navy has no Stealth OPV, Stealth MPV, Stealth IPV, High Speed sea interceptors, MPA high endurance aircraft with ISTAR capabilities....then you will know why Nigeria bought 300 anti-piracy vessels instead of Frigates and Submarines

Its not about the jet fool. Its about the pilot. Or Nigeria doesnt mind letting its pilots rot in the wreckage or even attempt to rescue them while they're alive.

We got some of biggests ports I. Africa and tones of trade. I mean when we sail you can not see massive cargo ships. All the time. And not even that far out. So your first point is a clear sighing you a A don't know what you talking about or B that you don't care.

Have you seen a warrior class strike craft. They don't need to be stealth. They all ready small. Has for IPVs, technically that not the job of our navy. DAFF, nastional parks, SARS and the police Handel that. Even the current T crafts of the navy where not bought to be IPVs but air sea rescue launches for the air force. They do patrol work because they bought and paid for but there old job is no longer needed.


We do have MPAs. The turbor daks.


We all so have high speed intoception boats. With the navy and special forces.


The job of SAN is war. Anti piracy is somtbing we do on the side.
