ActivateKruger:
If there's a Nigerian Navy officer in the forum I simply wanna ask what kind of interest does the SSV serve in the navy considering the following:
- The NN currently has no defensive and offensive capacity/capabilities.
- The SSV only carries 3 helicopters and can hardly carry armour of any serious support to the 500 troops it carries.

I'm not trying to bash anyone, I'm trying to find logic behind the acquisition. Thanks

beegeagle era guys dey here wella

While the NN Guys are coming in —

Logic: Power Projection. SSV Service: Reach.
Naval Science dictates that an expeditionary fleet sails with an escort of vessels with capabilities for anti-air, anti-surface and anti-submarine capabilities. It's like when you see the US Navy's 7th fleet sailing for invasion. Something like that is what Nigeria is replicating in Africa. A blue water expeditionary fleet.

NN Capabilities: Wait until you see the Nigerian Navy off Cape Town

I do not understand the argument going on in this thread, what is anybodies business with what Nigeria buys recession or no recession.

The whole thing is just completely ridiculous.

LIKE!! is it your money ?? these guys are ridiculous sometimes.

Which is why I gave the sarcastic retort to the Kruger guy with realism, yet a wannabe chose the part of pettiness.

You will have to wait for a long time. Remember, neither NAF nor Pakistan never confirmed the JF17 order, we only concluded we are buying it because the budget shows something like that.

Iblawi1:


Nigerian Navy already had plan to buy frigates and subs before now.


Nigeria might be in recession but won't stop us from funding our military requirement. I believe the numbers would be reduced sha.

Your response sounds like you're paying for it

Iblawi1:


Pakistan didn't confirm anything. Every source referred to Nigerian budget.
