I just finished seeing the documentary of the Nigerian Airforce. Wise work and projects at hand. They are preparing for the expansionn of accommodating people into the force. The Army is expecting over 100k but no word on preparations for that neither has the Navy started anything. Correct me if i am wrong. The Army needs to step up not just in PR. I mean we have how many phd holders in the army do they just come back home and do nothing? The Air chief said" they bring those that are through with their phd's or masters put them with research teams not just from the airforce but from Nigerian Universities". They signed over 15 MoU's with different institutions thats highly commendable. I dey hear say them try before now i have seen it with my eyes dem no try they have been the best so far.

WILLING, ABLE, READY.

$600m Jets’ Deal Raises US Imports Of Nigeria’s Crude
Okay, Now I know why we are paying $600M .

What we here from some Fed. Minstry staff here in Abuja is that Nigeria it trying not to pay kobo for the 12 Super Tucano air force war planes with a lot of advanced targeting rocket bombs for the plane as well, they want America to use $550 million Abacha loot in the USA banks to cover it, they are hoping maybe Trump will fall for the trade tactics

Yes why is he replying to them?

It would be better to make ludicrous statements and try to pass them off as fact (by ignoring all criticism)

Jesus christ, you need to get over your issues with South Africa. Its fvcking pathetic.

This shooting range is a waste of money.
In fact it should be privatized and the FG can make N3million a month for it.

Ratel ZT3.

While I always liked the Ingwe missile, its usefulness (like all ATGMs) is limited when fighting in thick bush.

In Angola, for instance the Ratel ZT3s were only able to engage the Angolan T-55s when they briefly came out into the open on a flat flood plain. They would've destroyed a hell of a lot more tanks than those initial three otherwise.

The inefficiency of long range ATGMs in this terrain, as well as the relatively close quarters of engagement, mean that RPG type weapons or direct fire from cannon are practically the only way for ground forces to kill tanks in the particular environment type.

You sure you didn't fight in the Angolan Civil war?
I am not trying​ to be offensive but you are imparting a lot of knowledge that is important even today.

Being addressed by the Officiating Officer Rear Admiral Peter Hafeni Vilho the 188 men and women were officially declared proud, professional and committed sailors. In his speech, the admiral emphasized on hard work, self development and working experience amongst other crucial matter. He also wished well all the graduates and gave them a job well done remark. the event also showcased the award ceremony for graduates who excelled well during training, which is held at Rooikop,NTS (Naval Training School) and the family members of the graduate were given a moment to congratulate in person. It was with the Naval band which closed off the ceremony with an instrumental that gave graduates morale march off passing the Dias for general salute with pride

Of course, and I certainly wasn't trying to imply otherwise.

Where I used to live in the Free State (just northeast of Odendaalsrus) the terrain was extremely arid and flat. A Ratel ZT3 would be invariably more useful there than in say, the Angolan bush.

Even more so in parts of the Northern Cape and Namibia where it's much more sparsely vegetated.

I was merely pointing out that's why the Ingwe wasn't used with more success during Ops Moduler, Hooper, and Packer.

I have always held that by studying the battles and tactics of the past we can learn a lot for the future. There is no reason that the lessons of the Angolan war cannot be applied to any other modern conflict.

I did not personally serve in the SADF but I have nothing but the utmost respect for those that did.

Cash rich countries can spend up to 20 percent of GDP on defence. For Nigeria 2 per cent of GDP expenditure on defence would make us the highest defence spender in Africa. That should be the goal.

Specializing the armed forces from just an Army that was centered around 6 to 8 Bn's (8000 men) led to an approved force structure of about 20000 according to public finance reports(likely to keep up with Botswana IMO also), rebuilding of SADF era bases which are dilapidated plus the acquisitions that go along with such an expansion....the budget has been reduced during the past two years thou ..84% of the budget is spent on personnel, 8% on Goods and Services and another 8% on Development
