jakeporeshenko: Lol, looks like they stole my idea. Anyway, with patience, courage (that it can be done) and determination, they can create something special ( meaning world renown) stretching along their borders with Nigeria. It is conceivable to turn such a project into a man made lake. The Chinese have the expertise. While a lake or trench that runs the length of the Nigeria Cameroon borders wont stop terrorists of illegals from crossing over, it will severely limit their ability. ....good too for war with us or, for if Nigerians are stupid enough to break up their nation, to limit refugees. But they got to dig deep and wide and then line their side with barbed wire. |

Nigeria’s Super Tucano jets include guided bombs, rockets Paveway 11 guided bombs, laser-guided rockets and infrared sensors are being sold to Nigeria by the United States government, along with the 12 Super Tucano fighter jets, expected to aid the military in ending the eight year-old Boko Haram insurgency in the north east. The details were published late August in the US Federal Register, according to a report by the website www.defenceweb.co.za. The US Defence Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) on 3 August announced the possible Foreign Military Sale of 12 A-29 Super Tucano aircraft, along with weapons, spares and training, to Nigeria in a contract that could be worth $593 million. Congress was notified on 2 August. The Federal Register revealed Nigeria has requested Paveway II and Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) laser-guidance kits and ammunition. It lists these items as “major defence equipment” valued at $29 million, while the “other” component of the deal, for the Super Tucanos, sensors, training and support, is valued at $564 million, . The weapons and ammunition includes 100 GBU-12 (500 lb) Paveway II Tailkits; 100 GBU-58 (250 lb) Paveway II Tailkits; 400 Laser Guided Rockets including Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) rounds; 2 000 MK-81 (250 lb) bombs; 5 000 2.75 inch (70 mm) Hydra 70 unguided rockets; 1 000 2.75 inch Hydra 70 unguided rockets (practice); and 20 000 rounds of .50 calibre machinegun ammunition. The APKWS is a low cost semi-active laser guidance kit developed by BAE Systems which is added to unguided 70 mm rockets, turning them into precision strike weapons. Similarly, the Paveway II, developed by Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, uses semi-active laser guidance to turn Mk 81 and Mk 82 general purpose bombs into guided weapons. The DSCA said the sale includes the tailkits to transform Nigeria’s existing 500-lb and 250-lb bomb bodies into GBU-12s and GBU-58s respectively, and that Nigeria is also buying additional GBU-58s/Mk 81 bombs. The proposed sale also includes seven AN/AAQ-22F electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor and laser designator turrets, spares, support equipment, facilities infrastructure and hangar construction, night vision devices, simulators, and software. Training will cover pilot and maintenance instruction and human rights and international humanitarian law. FLIR’s Brite Star system comprises a large format thermal imager and colour daylight camera with laser designator for terminal guidance of laser-guided bombs and rockets. The DSCA notice said the 12 Super Tucanos “will support Nigerian military operations against terrorist organisation Boko Haram and to counter illicit trafficking in Nigeria and the Gulf of Guinea. The Super Tucano is a sustainable platform for counterterrorism, counter insurgency, border surveillance, and illicit trade interdiction operations. The proposed sale will support U.S. foreign policy objectives by helping Nigeria to meet shared counterterrorism objectives for the region. This proposed sale will strengthen the U.S. security relationship with Africa’s largest democracy.” The prime contractor is the Sierra Nevada Corporation, headquartered in Centennial, Colorado. The company is building Super Tucanos for the Afghan Air Force and Lebanon at its US facility. Embraer has recorded a number of orders for its Super Tucano from African countries, which see it as a low cost light attack aircraft that can also be used as a trainer. On the continent, the Super Tucano has been ordered by Angola, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Mali, Ghana and Senegal. The Nigerian Air Force may also get second hand Super Tucanos – in February the Nigerian Air Force announced that Brazilian government had approved the sale of three second hand Super Tucano aircraft to Nigeria. |

Nok234: France24 is a foreign policy tool of the French govt and nothing less would be expected of it's reportage. I see it too. Everyone sees it. It's a geo-political thing. Russia = Russia Today, Aljazeera = Arabs, CNN = America, BBC = UK etc. Defenceweb and Co. from SA also does the same thing trying to pour cold water on everything Nigeria. We shouldn't be surprised. NTA and Co. has been disappointing. I've always wondered why companies in Nigeria spend millions advertising on CNN and not invest in ours. Well commerce u say. But we must tell our story else they twist it against us. |

Will you guys cut out this childish bs. How many times we are gonna see same pics (Casspir pic that is ). Just because Henry posted two of same pics doesn't mean you should respond by posting 5 of same. It's childish. Y'all need to grow up with this Nigeria vs South Africa bs. You just gotta learn to let some things go. We aren't 6yrs old 1 Like |

Then I'm guessing you need glasses . The guy posted 10 pics of the same Casspir one after the other. why? And you said i have counting problems? And this was after he complained about Henry doing something similar. So what the heck is the point? Do you guys think you are the only ones that come here? Because you aren't , people gotta stop this temper tantrum and act like adults, Jeez. Then some genius posted repeated pics of a pen. Are you people 5? unreal I've said my piece . No point responding. Just realize there are sane people here that will also appreciate a sane forum. MikeCZA: |
