even recently annexed Crimea is been powered by 2 new gas powered plant not nuclear.

we have better thing to do wit $20bln than waste it on a nuclear power plant.

Nuclear is something else, even our own Finance Minister just told Parliament that we simply don't have money for it.


I read that half of what Nigeria produces through national supply gets lost in the grid, that's the problem right there. Fix the cabling, your power supply will double up.

And who told you FG is bringing $20 billion?

This discussion is not for this thread. Just let it go.

but let it just lay.

SupremeCourt:


Russia has many different nuclear power plant sizes and specs. A new export model low price nuclear plant has been designed, and some ex-USSR states with medium economic GDP are buying it. [s]Nigeria is going for affordable model built for medium GDP nations. RSA likes to bite more meat than it's small mouth can chew, thats why Southies always choke on food. Nigeria is smarter, we cut our coat like the size of our cloth, noth like RSA that wants to use handkerchief to make parachute.[/s]

Except thats complete and absolute bullsh1t.

Both Nigeria and South Africa will be using the exact same export reactor, the VVER-1200

True stuff

but I don't see why we can't do both

NAF

“We have inducted into the NAF inventory, one of the two handed over Bell 412 helicopters. The two helicopters were seized by the Government and transferred to the Nigerian Air Force. “As at the time of transfer however, the helicopters had been in containers for about two years, thus, necessitating an overhaul of its major components such as the engines main rotor transmissions, and repair of surveillance cameras amongst other items. "These items had to be shipped to the United States and Canada for overhaul. Already, maintenance of one of the helicopters which would be deployed to the North East has been completed here in Ikeja. Work is at an advanced stage on the second helicopter which will also be inducted soon. Read more: https://www.naiji.ng/8561-air-force-deploy-seized-rivers-helicopter-northeast.html#8561

Seems to me like NAF if trying to do more of its aircraft maintenance and checks domestically.

Very Good Quality pictures
if the Former COAS LT . GEN IHEJIRIKA started the culture of Maintenance and repair in the army , the CAS Air Marshall Sadique has really taken it to another level.
A couple of things I want to point out :
From the Numbering sequence this Helicopter is NAF600 so logic dictates that the other Helicopter would be NAF599 or NAF 601
It therefore means the gap from the last MI -35s inducted earlier this year (NAF 559 AND 560) will probably fill in the gap between 560- 599.
I am hoping as the CAS implied for an early Christmas present from the NAF.

Is this not just "pre-selection"?

No maroon berets are just paratroopers. Not SF.

Well done. And that's as it should be, outside of the stuff that requires the manufacturer or his designated representative.

Incidentally, why do the logos on these guys seem vaguely familiar?

I doubt we use helicopters for ISR is NE. Those ghings are very easy to be brought down by AA guns.


They'll probably end up on Kaduna express way patrolling.

In a civilized society everyone has a right to appear in court and get sentenced if found guilty. Plenty of people in Egypt get killed by the armed forces under the cover of terrorism and insurgency.

so your police is more civilised for shooting a boy sleeping on his parent couch !?
