lionel4power: Threats differ and for us to succeed, we must do things not based on what others think or what they look like but primarily on our current threat assessment and the values this sorts of acquisition would bring to our national security. Agreed, all Nigerian defence enthusiasts/commentators would like to go back to the glory days of the 80s when we had a very formidable military.......... I surely would want that, however in the short term, i do not see how a Frigate or Submarine purchase guarantees our security at this point. I'm of the opinion that the de-militarization of the Nigerian military into what was essentially a peacekeeping force in the late 90s and early 2000s has led to the rise of extremist groups in not just Nigeria but the entire West-Africa and a direct threat to our collective security. To deal with these problems in West-Africa, Nigeria has to arm up, so the enemy or the potential enemy in West-Africa knows that Abuja is able to rapidly project decisive force, is a significant deterrent to an armed adversary. However my is , build our local capacity to deploy equipment made in Nigeria, while we purchase intelligently to adequately equip all our commands. No matter how you look at it 4 or 5 corvettes is better than having 2 or 3 Frigates. Respect comes from the government's ability to defend her people and the foreigners who have chosen to do business in the said country. *P.S, i don't see Saudi-Arabia getting respect despite the kingdoms well documented fleet of Gucci gear 1 Like |

Innoson Nigeria Produces Local Parts for Fighter Jets- NAF The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Baba Abubakar has lauded the management of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) Company for providing the needed technical support that has enabled the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) to sustain its operations against the Boko Haram insurgents. The Company, at a time when the NAF would have been forced to ground its entire fleet of Alpha Jets due to lack of brake assembly, had helped to locally modify and overhaul the brake assembly of the MB-339 aircraft for adoption on the Alpha Jets. This ingenious effort by IVM is instrumental to the continued operation of the Alpha Jets, and had helped to save the day when help was not forthcoming from abroad. Air Mshl Abubakar stated that the contribution by IVM deserves national recognition and award, given the important role played by the Alpha Jet in the ongoing counter insurgency operations in North East Nigeria. The collaboration between the NAF and IVM is in line with one of the key drivers of the CAS vision which is “strategic partnership with ministries, departments and agencies for enhanced research and development”. Beyond the feat, the NAF is poised to exploit the possibilities of mass producing the Alpha Jet break assembly and other parts locally by partnering with IVM, as well as other credible organisations, to build own capacity for enhanced self-reliance. The invitation of IVM team to Headquarters Nigerian Air Force for further discussions was based on this premise. The CAS, while receiving the Chairman IVM, Mr Innocent Chukwuma and team members in his office, expressed the willingness by the NAF to expand the scope of existing research and development collaboration with IVM. “Our partnership with IVM would not end with the Alpha jet break assembly but a leeway to forge new frontiers, through research and development, to replicate some of the spares needed by our platforms” the CAS said. Air Mshl Abubakar stated that the feat has not only saved the country huge foreign exchange that otherwise would have been spent abroad but also adding value to Nigerians through provision of job opportunities. Meanwhile, the Chairman IVM has expressed the readiness of his company to partner with the NAF to help manufacture locally some of the spares needed to keep its aircraft operational. Mr Innocent Chukwuma noted that such synergy as existing between the NAF and IVM would help to reduce the dependence on foreign technologies while promoting self-reliance, as well as technological and economic development. He disclosed that his company has the expertise to locally manufacture and assemble a number of automobile products that would be of benefit to the NAF. You are please requested to kindly use your mass media to disseminate this information for the awareness of the general public. Thanks for your usual support and cooperation.

patches689:first there are twi types of co-witnessing if the absolute doesnt work you can rise the scope alitlebit, the pic you showed from your "shooting bench" The scar is said to fit perfectly, so dont argue for the sake of arguing, we all know when it comes to guns its all about preference of the holder, whatever works for them might not work of everyone, every trained person knows what gives him and his rifle an edge over the opponent. If the rest of his teamates had their iron sights down, the guy with his up must have tried it before during training and prefered it that way 2 Likes

rugged7: It would be the single greatest achievement of any leader if this government is able to setup and makes it sustainable for the next 30 - 40 years, and further it's MIC project. There cannot be development without security. I'm patiently waiting for AAD 2016 in Pretoria, last year defenceweb.co.za reported that Nigerian companies have booked their pavilions. It would be nice to see what they want to offer. 1 Like |
