NafeesaAA:
Can anyone tell me where exactly are Nigeria 6 Gazelle Helicopters. They seem to just vanish into the air. All NAF aerial bombing in the NE and SS are undertaken by NAF MI-35 and to some extent Augusta helicopter

Henry240:


Only an Airman or a personnel based in Yola can actually confirm the status of the Gazelles. I don't want to speculate.


In my opinion, the Gazelle isn't the type of helicopter the military needs.

Learn your naval nomenclature and perhaps people will start to take you seriously.

Nigeria recogniz Western Sahara this is not love a tell you ... second if you are talking about Pakistan so you have 0 in geography and geopolitics Pakistan is not in the Arab league, its not even an Arab country ... third anti-colonial role in Africa, Nigeria was already standing when Kenya was still in the coma ... and more thank God that Nigeria is investing in your country

i dont know what ur trying to say here
but let me clarify the big picture which u clearly have no idea about

NAF operates Chinese aircraft's and other western aircraft's which India does not operate and therefor cannot support , similarly cant even supply the ammo for it .

same goes for NA and NAF equipment's

and Nigerian govt (especially civilian ones) never approached India for weapons .

and not say anything about the lackluster fuccking indian defense export , u guys must have exported more weapons than Indians themselves.

what India could help and did help was with training and dissemination of CT tactics (before BH happened it was conventional warfare training). also do u know the shear number of army navy airforce soldiers sailors pilots who were trained . try asking around and u will be surprised

india made many offers of weapons from trainer aircrafts (HP 34 Hindustan Aeronautic Trainer) to other weapons in the 80s , nigeria refused to buy .

do u know India devised and conducted two specialized counter-insurgency programs on Nigeria's request during the height of boko haram insurgency which i know of.
also do u know CT specialized Indian military trainers were especially sent to nigeria for in-situ training so that more soldiers could be taught at same time.

India for past years has been continuously providing training both in Nigeria and in Indian training centers, point is nobody in the public knows the extent of it . India keeps quite because it fears backlash on its citizens in Africa from terror groups. also if u help ur friends do u shout it out loud ? yes if u have exterior motives

also do u know the level of cooperation in intelligence sharing and training . no country will share its intelligence gathering tools , methodology , analytical software , profiling software etc , do u know what price we had to pay to get it from the Israelis.

all these still continues

i am not even mentioning the economical aspect , oil and everything

lastly India was not doing any favors . there is no such thing as favors among nations it is simply mutual interest and mutual understanding

also what u dont understand is no country is replaceable in international politics , every country has its own role.

i replied because i wanted to open ur eyes.
as far as nigerian government is concerned they fortunately have no views like yours because they know the truth .

there r so many things that we dont know so it is best not to make sweeping and assumptive statements



also dont connect this rely of mine with pak**** because it is not my concern in any way.

This doesn't make any sense, no offence.

kikuyu1:


Hear,hear! Its disconcerting calling Harbour security vessels patrol boats! Or referring to RHIB carriers as fast attack craft.
An OPV means offshore patrol vessel. Usually its bigger than the IPV to enable it patrol further out to sea from 80-105 m and retain handling in heavier seas.
Its a cheaper option for third world countries to buy corvette size hulls at lower prices since often OPVs are built to civilian not navy standard. eg Saryu,Spanish BAM etc etc.
In future can we at least try to follow nomenclature?
