overhypedsteve: Priorities come first, before what we want. I don't see how a Frigate would help reduce piracy or oil theft at sea, neither would a sub. The Navy's requirement is for 6 units of MPV, 35 - 45 meters, Andoni class. With NNS Andoni, NNS Sagbama and NNS Andoni II, we could say we have a requirement for 3 more units. At-least 1 more unit of P18N class OPV and 2 Type 056 Corvettes. This is how to build capability to meet our requirement. A Sub or Frigate at this point would be a totally useless purchase. |

the Embraer Super Tucano isn't brazilian ?? mauritania / sénégal/ burkina faso use them from years i think and mali command 6 A-29 Super Tucano last year and ghana 5 , so i think it would be easy for nigeria to get them , and what about sukhoi 25 and 24 for heavy strick ?

Drakensberg gets new radar SharpEye radar system onto the South African Navy’s fleet replenishment ship SAS Drakensberg. The installation includes X and S Band SharpEye radars, IMO compliant displays and a dedicated tactical display with Kelvin Hughes Advanced Agile Tracker for helicopter approach and control. The solid-state SharpEye features digital pulse compression and Doppler processing of the radar returns, allowing it to detect objects with a low radar cross section, from semi-submersed objects to the smallest of uncooperative craft, even in the most severe of weather conditions, Kelvin Hughes said in a release issued on Thursday. 2 Likes

andrewza: If the auto-loader in a T72 breaks you cant fix it in anycase - Soviets seperate powder and warhead, and in the T72 the powder is unaccesable. manual over-ride is only on the T62 and then ROF drops down to 1 round per min. If they had moved the engine to the front and the crew to the back it would have been better yes. I like it simply because its an excellent upgrade and it increases crew-survivability due to the fact that they are now seperated from the turret and ammunition, meaning that if it "pops its cork" like T72 so often do there is atleast a chance of crew survival. |

patches689: Balderdrash. Comments intended to whip up sentiments, to cover up the very obvious cluelessness, incompetence, lack of policy direction and complete hopelessness of this Buhari led government. This admin has tended to be very loose with figures, many. of which have not been ever substantiated. It would be nice to see the analysis of what adds up to these figures and what transactions. Where used to move the money. The $49 billion NNPC money Sanusi talked about has never been substantiated, even the $2.1b dasuki ‘loot’ has never been substantiated (i mean in terms of a list of transactions totaling the figure in question). The sad thing for this govt is that they don’t seem to realize they are now in power and no longer in opposition. 4 Likes 1 Share |

patches689: [b]Emi Systems Nigeria Limited, one of the companies indicted by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) has given the Presidency seven days ultimatum to retract the sponsored publication which it described as false or be sued. In a letter titled, Re: Buhari’s Panel indicts over 300 ONSA Contractors, recovers N7 billion”, counsel to the company, Greenfeild Chambers said the publication disparaged its client before right thinking men in the society as it completed and handed over all jobs it was awarded way back in 2012. “Our client’s attention was drawn by their customers, business associates and contractors to the press statement accredited to Garba Shehu, the Special Assistant (media) to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the report from the investigating panel of the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) to the effect that EMI Systems Ltd was indicted as a company which ‘outrightly failed to execute contract(s) or did so partially and have therefore been asked to refund various sums’. “Our client finds the above press ‘statement of indictment’ as unfounded, false, baseless and does not reflect the true state of affairs regarding the contracts handled by our client and the engagement by our client with the investigating panel that led to several joint site verification visits carried out by the panel and our client. “For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state unequivocally that all the contracts awarded to EMI Systems by the ONSA have been fully completed and the contracts were awarded in 2012”, Emeka Obegolu of Greenfeild Chambers said. The solicitor to the company claimed that the publication cast their client as “a company with no track record of project management and completion; a company that cannot be trusted with contracts in the public sector of any serious government, and a company lacking in integrity and corporate ethics in their day to day business.” They explained that the contract awarded to them was valued at €722,059.96 for the four contracts, almost four years ago and the contracts had since been performed to the satisfaction of the ONSA. According to them, they were invited and honoured the investigative panel where they presented documentary evidence to the satisfaction of all parties showing that they did not have any outstanding obligation with the only area of doubt being whether the payment received by the company was net or inclusive of all taxes. “That the panel insisted that our client should pay taxes on the payments made to it while our client opined that as a matter of practice, government withholds taxes before payment is made, as the items supplied were individually priced. “That the tax issue was not conclusive as our client is consulting with tax practitioners to get professional advice on the issue of tax liability as stated above,” they stated. Obegolu said that there was never a time their client was accused of non-completion of jobs in the 20 years they had been into security solutions and contractual relationships. “We therefore, on behalf of EMI Systems Ltd, demand that Mr. Garba Shehu issues an immediate retraction of the misleading publication concerning our client and a letter addressed to our client conveying the said retraction. This is the minimum that will assuage the battered corporate image of our client and reassure their customers of the corporate integrity of our client and continuing commitment to excellent service delivery. “Take notice therefore, that unless we receive the letter of retraction within seven (7) days of the date of receipt of this letter, we have our client’s standing instruction to employ all legal means to seek redress for the publication including seeking damages in libel before a court of competent jurisdiction,” they demanded.[/b] http://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2016/04/02/onsa- contracts-indicted-firm-demands-apology-from-presidency/ |

patches689: The auto loader breaking is least of your issues and highly unlikely on the more modern models. But if it does you can load manually, Problem is if it jams you cant un jam it. Or just moved the crew back in to under the turret. So many better ways they could of done that, like making a larger turret and installing armoured lockers with blow off panels, the crew will all so now take the hit from any penetration. All so it does not have any extra armour. No wonder it was never built. |
