I said it can be done, both Odunayaw and Jln115 prove it can be done.

Nobody on this board apart from the guys in the military can speak categorically on stuffs.


All virtually all of us who comment here do is speculate.

frumentius:


Since you asked so nicely. Any truth that Kenya secretly has OH-1 Ninjas in its inventory? Apparently that's them in the Japan-shaped formation cleverly disguised as clouds.

What military is this? The trainer looks like he is wearing NA camo but the guys laying prone don't look Nigerian, plus the G3 rifles..

africaken254:
i just hope they turn some into gunships

Odunayaw:


Anyway...I wish we could get the Chinese to do a redesign based on the p18 and we use it to bridge both 2 frigate requirement and 2 corvette requirement
and just build FACs at home

Henry240:


It remains to be seen how effective they would be as a Gunship. To be honest, who are your main arms suppliers, what country does Kenya buy heavy equipment from?


I find it rather surprising that Kenya has no attack helicopters.

There are multiple very good existing Frigates in the market to choose from China, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands. My personal favourite is the Sigma class light Frigate from Damen. However if i want to be realistic, the Meko 200 from Germany would be a perfect fit for us.


We already vessels from 3 of the 4 aforementioned countries, but with the politics of arms procurement, it would be best for us to mix Chinese weapons on any platform we may intend to procure.


Building a FAC at home would be fantastic, we can build the super structure, then get any weapons system we desire to integrate on them. Again my personal favorite is the KCR-60 (pictured). If we build vessels like these, i would be livid!!



Realistically anyway, we probably would buy from abroad, however with the recent drive to make in Nigeria, i could be wrong
.

Odunayaw:

in terms of politricks in full swing...sigma is not our portion(we know the Parliament we have)..same goes for meko (which to me is one very sexy whale)
this leaves us with papa chinco..we could do just like the Algerians(as with the c28A)...get the hull from them..get navigations eqpt. and the likes from other sources and make use of chinco weapons.


as for FACs...if na spiritual hand wey wan make us buy from abroad..that hand must catch fire

Odunayaw:
@frumentius
post some iklwa pix for me please

Henry240:

That's not NA camo(trainer) either. The guys lying a wearing a camo variant from Niger Republic. We don't even use the G3.

I also like the fact with our Hinds, no space is wasted, all 6 hard points, the main gun and 2 window gunners firing 7.62 MGs.

See seats looking like stretchers. Well, i'm aware it's an old design. www.nairaland.com/attachments/4567787_cyqbj13xuaascrv_jpegfb9043266e4e78c3cb6af0c2ff39718e
