Patchesagain: 1 - Buhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...... "That's the exact same reason the Nigerian government rejected the F-22. 2- you chose Armour over the ability to float, yet your Armour can only provide protection against 7.62mm rounds while our's provide protection against RPGs, 30mms and can still swim. You are led by a bunch of clueless hippis, who call themselves generals. 3. Nope according to all sources provided it only provides protection against 7.62mm. Even Proforce LAPVs provide more protection than badger IFVs. 1 Like |

Henry240:Read up my retaarded little friend: http://www.military-today.com/apc/badger.htm the Badger, also packs a formidable punch and is better protected than most current APCs The Finnish Patria AMV is one of the most protected APCs that are currently available. Also it offers great protection against landmines. With add-on armor fitted front arc withstands hits from 30-mm armor-piercing rounds. Interior is fitted with spall liners. Two uparmored Polish Army vehicles were hit in Afghanistan by RPG-7 rockets, however armor was not penetrated and vehicles managed to return to base. Vehicle also has a top-class mine protection. It has integral protection in its belly, rather than using a V-hull, as with most mine-protected vehicles. It withstands blasts equivalent to up to 10 kg of TNT under any wheel or anywhere under the hull. Protection of the Badger is likely to be similar. 3 Likes |

Henry240: You only use integrated data link that comes with a platform but you don't have tactical data link as well as multi-tactical network. So your claim is invalid. Simple, we have tactical data link and you have none. We can link all our platforms in one intergrated system for effective command, control and communication and you can't. So that's how we are technologically superior than you and Egypt. If one of your base is hijacked by BH other platforms see nothing and will only be aware of it after some troops manage to escape and deliver the massage through radios or in person. If one of your fighter jets or aircraft crashes, you see nothing and you won't even know where to look for it. If all your troops are killed, newspapers will inform you. You are operating in isolated units as well as Egypt. Tactical data link and multi-tactical network is very important since military will have to do everything manually without it. NATO cannot share it with anyone since you will be able to spy their activities. SA is now the only country outside NATO that can penetrate LINK 11 apart from using their own indeginous LINK ZA. 1 Like |

FG to spend N65bn on warplanes, weapons, others
The Federal Government is proposing to spend N65.03bn for
the acquisition of various military aircraft, combat
equipment, trucks and maintenance of boats among others
in the 2016 fiscal period.
Details of this amount are contained in the 2016 budget
which President Muhammadu Buhari presented to a joint
session of the National Assembly in December, 2015.
A copy of the budget for the military was obtained by our
correspondent in Abuja on Tuesday.
The N65.03bn, according to an analysis of the budget
document, is part of the total sum of N311.38bn allocated to
the Nigerian Army, Navy and Air Force for the 2016 fiscal
year.
Out of the N311.38bn, the sum of N139.8bn, made up of
capital expenditure of N120.01bn and recurrent expenditure
of N19.78bn is allocated to the Nigerian Army.
For the Nigerian Navy, the sum of N85.97bn is allocated for
its operations. This amount is made up of N60.33bn for
recurrent expenditure and N25.64bn for capital spending.
The Nigerian Air Force has a total budget of N85.61bn, made
up of N62.15bn for recurrent expenditure and N23.46bn for
capital expenditure.
Giving details of the weapons to be acquired for the
operation of the Navy, the fiscal document states that the
sum of N5bn is budgeted for the procurement of three JF-17
Thunder-multi role combat aircraft.
The government, according to the document, has also
allocated the sum of N11.6bn for the procurement of two
MI-35m helicopter, while N2.06bn is being proposed to
acquire 10 Super Mushak trainer aircraft.
Other operational equipment to be acquired for the Navy
are aircraft spares, N1.7bn; combat equipment, outfits and
training for Quick Response Force, N350m; arms and
ammunition such as 30MM Canon, 68MM SNEB live rocket,
F3 and F4 practice bomb, N480m.
Also being proposed for the Navy is infrastructural
development at the newly established Forward Operational
Base and NAF Units at a cost of N2.2bn.
For the Nigerian Army, the budget document states that the
sum of N5.64bn has been budgeted for the purchase of
defence equipment; N2bn for kitting of armed forces
personnel; and N1.96bn for the purchase of trucks.
Similarly, the sum of N2.07bn is being proposed for security
votes including operations while N7.24bn has been
budgeted for the construction of military barracks.
For the Navy, the budget document states that the purchase
of defence equipment will gulp N18.29bn while the sum of
N372.95m and N734.06m are budgeted for the maintenance
of aircraft and sea boats respectively.
In the same vein, the document indicates that the
government is planning to spend N1.7bn to purchase
surveying equipment, N296.88m to fuel aircraft; N645.35m
for sea boats and N706.07m for security votes, including
operations. Curled from the online punch newspaper |

mzilakazi: We have seen photos of SANDF Badgers, they have only one major weapon in standard Badger configuration, ONE SINGLE 30 MM CANNON WITH LOW RATE OF FIRE ONLY ! Finland's Patria has no DENEL equipment, or have you changed your boast that DENEL components make up 70% of the Badger? How can you have 70% DENEL components and still claim the Badger is same as the Finland made Patria? You contradict yourself dummy ! The extra protection for the Badger is NOT on the hull/body, it is under chassis for land mine protection. A simple browning machine gun will penetrate the body of SANDF Badger.....fvcking IFV with obsolete configuration, one main gun only in 2015 modern age ! Nigerian BTR-4 is the most advanced IFV in Africa ! FACT ! . |

agaugust:[/s] Badger comes in 5 variants which obviously will supersede BTR Capabilities and technology. http://itweb.co.za/mobilesite/defenceweb/home/item_id-32730/ QUOTE: A notable feature of the Badger is its modular turret system, developed in five variants, namely Section, Command, Mortar, Missile and Fire Support models. A single turret structure, fitted with different weapon modules, will simplify the logistic support and reduce the cost of through-life support, Denel said. |

Henry240: 1. We rejected it because we dont need it or use it in that configuration - see, we (unlike you) have a doctrine, that means we can rely on role-specific units 2. No: BTR4 is only protected against small arms and shell splinters in standard form: A baseline version of the BTR-4 provides all-round protection against 7.62-mm ball rounds and artillery shell splinters. http://www.military-today.com/apc/btr_4.htm The vehicle, in its standard form, can provide protection against small arms fire and mine blasts. http://www.army-technology.com/projects/btr-4-armoured-personnel-carrier/ Badger is protected against 30mm on the frontal arc in its BASELINE format: AMV offers the best ballistic protection level in its class, providing front sector protection against APFSDS rounds up to 30 mm and excellent defence against IEDs, EFPs as well as TNT mines of up to 10 kg. http://patria.fi/en/products-and-services/armoured-wheeled-vehicles/patria-amv-armoured-modular-vehicle-product-family So, in baseline format - Badger is better protected. 3. No, according to the manufacturer this is untrue. 1 Like |

FighterPilot: Fool, the missile Badger carries no 30mm cannon, the Badger variants that are not standard do not carry the major cannon. Problem of the Badger is that each variant carries only one major weapon, that is obsolete IFV doctrine. Modern IFVs like the Nigerian BTR-4 carries 3 major weapons ALL AT THE SAME TIME ON ONE STANDARD VEHICLE....30mm cannon, 30mm automatic grenade launcher, and anti-tank missiles. Badger is obsolete on arrival....18 years ago old concept ![]() ![]() . |

agaugust: 1. The Hull is produced in Finland - so the hull is the exact same as the AMV 2. the rest of the vehicle (70%) is made and designed in RSA 3. Badger comes standard with 30mm protection on the frontal arc. All modern Western IFV's have only one gun system... so they are obsolete too? |
