I still wonder why all our things in this country always have K-leg someone should correct me if I'm wrong, is it a sin if the authorities do a radical change with respect to weaponry just negodu the kinda rifle NA marksmen are using abi are we under international arms embargo ne? me I don't understand oo, is it a taboo to use sophisticated sniper rifle such as Blaser R93, Saki TRG etc, if it is too expensive to rearm the entire military with a grade A-weapon such as Tavor series/ M series or a higher version of Kalashnikovs, it shouldn't be difficult to properly equip a small specialized unit such as the Snipers. We're quick to raise shoulders as giant if Africa but honestly we can't face the Egyptian or Algerian army in warfare, South Africa is even out if it sef. I think it's high time the FG do government to government purchase of equipments if sourcing same from third parties is proofing difficult or better still outsource the reorganization of the military to the Russians or Israelis ( that is if pride will allow us) Saudi and Egypt did same, even with the level of expertise of the Israelis they still do collabo with USA, India and even codedly with Russians.

krattoss:

We should sign the godammn bilateral agreement ( a serious one oo) with any of the world powers.

Even that Steyr rifle looks like an hunter rifle.

Odunayaw:
Yet the US still uses the M14 and variants

ugo4u you do know the Algerians and Egyptians still use the AKM and variants right
Its the long M16A1s &A2s the Senegalese use that's cool abi (The black finish )

Sniper Rifles like the Steyr and Dragunovs are for niche roles. You are free to tell me any other reliable equal

Are we more concerned about aesthetics or reliability? The same Tavors that look tacticool are being dumped for Bulgarian AR-1 & Beryls

So I ask again, are you more concerned about aesthetics or reliability?

CAS VISITS AZERBAIJAN, SEEKS PARTNERSHIP IN TRAINING, DEVELOPMENT OF MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has led a delegation of senior Nigerian Air Force (NAF) officers on a visit to Azerbaijan to seek strategic partnership in capacity building and development of Nigeria's military industrial complex with a view to further boosting NAF’s operational effectiveness in the fight against insurgency and other forms of criminality in the country. The visit, which took place from 5 - 8 February 2019, was on the invitation of the Azerbaijani Deputy Minister of Defence and Commander of the Azerbaijan Air Force (AzAF), Lieutenant General Ramiz Tahirov, who, along with other senior officers from AzAF, hosted the CAS and conducted him on a tour of facilities at the Gala Air Base and the Aviation Repair Factory located in Nasosna Air Base, where the AzAF carries out up to 4th Line Maintenance of aircraft in its inventory. One of the immediate benefits of the visit is the acceptance by the AzAF to provide simulator training slots for NAF pilots on the Mi-35M Helicopter and L-39ZA aircraft. The first set of NAF pilots are expected to commence their simulator training before the end of February 2019.

The CAS was accompanied on the visit by the Air Officer Commanding Mobility Command, Air Vice Marshal (AVM) Peter Uzezi, Chief of Logistics Headquarters NAF, AVM Aminu Yakubu, the Chief of Staff Air Training Command, Ayoola Jolasinmi, the Deputy Director of Training HQ NAF, Air Commodore Esen Efanga as well as Nigeria's Defence Adviser to Islamabad, Brigadier General Nasiru Mukhtar.

Let's make these beryl/AK variants as standard issue for all NA regiments.

Goel:

Training with multiple countries is good, it will improve your skills. But Saudi & Egyptians having expertise at level of Israel is a joke.
They only know how to buy weapons. They can't make them, can't copy them and most important, can't use them. Their forces are among worst trained in world.

"Common" Senegal has a better basic infantry weapon compared to our beloved rusties. What our special forces flaunt are basic infantry weapon of some countries..

ugo4u:

Remove Egypt from your list, aside Iran and Israel I don't see any middle Eastern country that will defeat the Egyptians in whatever form of warfare, even an open confrontation with Israel will be too bloody on both sides. Don't underestimate the Egyptians.

[color=#550000][/color] Saudi would deal the Egyptians

slimthugchimee2:


You mean you'd chose an that long ass M16A1 over an AK?

I feel like your judgement is based on aesthetics.

But you are still right, we need to modernize our infantry weapons, the beryl should be a better option

ugo4u:

this one off me. They will deal with the Egyptians the way they dealing with Houthi rebels abi? For your info Saudi has one of the most indisciplined army in the middle East even though they have the latest of equipments money can buy. Till date, the Russians, Americans and by proxy Israelis give Saudi army technical support in basic gadgets an average Nigerian soldier will perform without hassle.
The war in Yemen has exposed their incompetence, infact the Egyptians will overrun them within a week without the backing of super powers. Infact the Saudi Arabia situation further proove the notion that no matter the most modern equipment you acquire if you don't have the requisite know-how and discipline to maintain or use them you're as senseless as someone bringing a knife to a gun fight.

giles14:
those Egypt have the funds to persecute a war

ugo4u:

Yes sir!! they have an annual defence budget of about $4billion. Those guys ain't poor oo, though they might not have the spending might of the Saudis but believe you me, with their acquisitions over the years and manpower development Saudis stands no chance against them. Even the last war they had with Israel was almost a statement with casualties of over 17000 men on both sides which saw them forcing the Israelis to negotiate a deal that saw them reclaim the Sinai that was captured by Israel in the Six day war..

fabselad:

lol which statement. Israel fought a war on 2 fronts and was still able to whoop the ass of the Egyptians and the Syrians even with massive soviet aid. the Israeli army was 70 km from Cairo when Sadat called the american secretary of states Kissinger to negotiate a cease fire. the only gain Sadat had was foot hold in the Sinai region but the 3rd Egyptian army was surrounded on all sides with the Israeli army on the other side of the Nile and no way for supply by sea because the Israeli navy had beaten the Egyptian navy. the only hope of the Egyptian 3rd army was port Said. So don't ever say the Egyptians fought a war to stalemate with Israel. Even today there are rumors going around that the Israeli airforce help bombed Islamist hideouts in Sinai.

ugo4u:

Go back to history the Yum Kipoor war almost ended in disaster for the Israelis prior to that the Israelis thought they were invincible but the Egyptians made a mess of that invicibility.
