DICON official website clearly says it has production plant for producing the tracked 4KAFA Styer APC with capacity to produce 300 vehicles per year. DICON and Styer Nigeria Limited produced 250 of mixed variants in Bauchi for Nigerian army including heavy machine gun, mortar carrier, command post, and ambulance types.
Many sources confirm it, and even researchers have written books on the productions, nobody in his right mind disputes it except a liar of a man CHOKED WITH ENVY, its all common knowledge since the 1980s when production of the famous high performance tracked vehicle started and was first in Africa.
"Systems currently under production include armoured personnel carriers (Steyr) at the Steyr plant in Bauchi."

Nigerian local defence industry produces tracked armoured vehicles in FOUR VARIANTS, heavy machine gun, mortar carrier, command post, and ambulance. South Africa does NOT and CANNOT produce tracked armoured vehicles.

STOP MAKING CLAIMS

There is no medicine in this world that can cure your stupidity. South Africa is a leading defence industry in Africa. Nigeria is just a baby. We pride ourselves to be among the top 100 biggest defence industries in terms of revenues. Something that you can only dream about and will not happen until you kiss your grave.

1. It is a re-purposed MRAP that only conforms to the status of IFV via NATO definitions. And you built neither the vehicle nor the gins

2. Project Biro is going ahead as planned. When did India say they depend on you for maritime security?

What maritime security deal? Fact is, we are currently on our way to take part in exercises with them, as we do every year, you do not.

You buy ships in peacetime so you have them in wartime. Or do you think the enemy will wait 5 years for you to get new ships?


We have two stealth P18N ships of the Type 056 light frigate family, if war comes we can arm them with missiles in a few days, we already have 100% technology transfer on the stealth ships, they are already armed as at today with 20mm and 76mm guns plus anti-missile decoys, we just add missiles thats all remaining.

1. Do you make the guns on your 1980s Ratel IFV ? Do you make the rockets on your Rooivalk?

2. Project Biro is dead like Mandela. The video clearly says agreement was signed for Nigerian navy to help Indian navy with maritime intelligence on the Atlantic ocean......also says Nigerian navy will soon deploy SEA DRONES !!!

The Indians were wise enough to avoid long term maritime operational agreement with South African navy because they know your navy is useless in current types of global sea threats.

Exercises? The video clearly says Indian navy has invited Nigerian navy special forces for joint training and our deals will be regular and ling term with them, that's why we signed legal documents.....but South African navy was invited to India by ORDINARY email/text message/one minute phone call tonguetongue

Are Nigerian numerically illiterate?

286/30 = 9 sorties per day
9 divided by 7 operational assets = 1.3 sorties per day per asset

So well done, your 7 operational assets did just under two sorties per day in a month.

FYI, our "9" Gripen pilots would have flown a total number of 351 sorties in the same period of time with the same number of missions per day.

How NAF Proved South Africans Are Mëntally Backward

[/size]

While envy choked South Africans whose SAAF has ZERO combat experince on their current Gripen jets and Hawk jets, were busy posting outdated May 2015 reports claiming NAF has only 7 operational aircraft, the Nigerian air force was busy flying over 100 aircraft rocking the air of North East war theatre the size of Scotland.

What the half envy suffocating South Africans did not think of was that after flying thousands of air combat sorties from January to May 2015, the majority of NAF fleet went on scheduled maintenance and had returned back to service in August 2015.




" In a renewed drive to crush the fighting will of the Boko Haram terrorist group, the Nigerian Air Force says it has deployed additional combat platforms to North East Nigeria in support of the ongoing counter-insurgency operation codenamed ‘Operation Lafiya Dole’.

The spokesperson for the Air Force, Dele Alonge, an Air Commodore, said in a statement Thursday that the new deployment came on the heel of the recent visit of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadiq Abubakar to the operational areas.

The newly deployed platforms, according to Mr. Alonge, include the F-7Ni fighter aircraft, Mi-24/35 attack helicopters, Agusta 109 LUH, Supa Puma Combat Support helicopter and ATR-42 surveillance aircraft, which hitherto had been away for scheduled maintenance. "

No navy in Africa has over 400 vessels. Nigeria has less than 75 vessels. Meaning they now have about 35 serviceable vessels. Far less than SAN vessels. Even your Air force does not have over 100 aircrafts.

‘High Value Terrorists’ killed as Nigerian Air Force intensifies bombardment of Sambisa forest with over over 280 operational sorties conducted against terrorists targets in the area in the last one month.


The Nigerian Airforce has sustained aerial bombardment of Sambisa forest with over 280 operational sorties conducted against terrorists targets in the area in the last one month.
Several ‘high value terrorists’ were killed in the operations, officials said.
The Deputy Theatre Commander, Air, of Operation Lafiya Dole, Air Vice Marshal Isiaka Oladayo Amao, who stated this at a media briefing in Maiduguri stated that the air strikes and bombardments were conducted by the Air Component of the Operation Lafiya Dole in the North-East.
Mr. Amao said the ongoing and sustained air operations and surveillance within the theater of operation in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States were intensified between December 2015 and January 2016 towards ending the Boko Haram menace.
He said: “In continuation of the counter insurgency, the air component in the last one month conducted 286 operational sorties against terrorists’ targets from 25 December to date in the Sambisa forest covering an area of 157,000km2 which is equivalent to the total land mass of South Korea, Portugal and Togo in a total of 536 hours, 21 minutes were flown by various platforms engaged in the operations,
“This translates into 316,637.5 litres of aviation fuel which amounts to N60.3 million, excluding the cost of maintenance and armament expended.”
He further explained that prominent operations among the missions carried out included an air strike on December 25 last year where some terrorists’ leaders and junior commanders, who gathered for a leadership meeting in Sambisa Forest, were neutralized by a precision strike which led to the killing of several Boko Haram terrorists.


There was also a significant strike conducted on January 17, 2016, following intelligence report on the location of a High Value Terrorists (Boko Haram HVT) leader taking refuge at a location south of Arra village in the Sambisa Forest, where air strikes neutralized the target.
He added that some areas of the successful airstrikes conducted to include; Gadzama, Ngwalimiri, Dure and Dure Takwalla, Ajigin, Bitta, Gulumba Gana, Sigel, Damasak and Kumshe communities now occupied by insurgents.
Other areas that came under strike include; Yajiwa, Asaga, Tumbun Gini and Mada towns, amongst others, as well as medical evacuation missions which were also carried out at Marte Local Government area and Banki town of Borno state on January 21 this year.
The deputy commander however maintained that the Nigerian Air Force, through its Component in Operation Lafiya Dole, is focused on sustaining air operations and providing support to ground troops of the Armed Forces as they strive to rid Nigeria of the Boko Haram insurgency.
Mr. Amao further added that all the areas bombarded were thoroughly monitored on intelligence surveillance and eye services before the attacks or shelling.
Most of the targets included Boko Haram fuel pump storages, Solar Panels, Meeting Points and hideouts in the sambisa forests as most of the areas were identified first before the air strikes.

280 sorties are very small and perfectly fit for 7 operational aircrafts as confirmed by your military chiefs including the president.

Henry must know that navy ships does not come easy as if they are peanuts. They cost a leg and arm. Here NIGERIA wants to acquire 49 ships in the next decade, meaning in the next ten years and that could as well not materialise because it takes almost a year to build one Big naval ship.

Now, Henry tells us about Nigeria Navy having acquired 100 brand new ships as if money is growing from Nigerian trees.

Is all about LIES!!! LIES!!!! LIES!!!
