No, it isn't.

They have a YouTube channel where they make parody videos of Boston robotics videos. Their videos are super exaggerated and mostly behind green screen and with human actors.

Ezugwu MRAP

NIGERIAN ARMY, DICON SIGN AGREEMENT FOR EZUGWU MRAP VEHICLES PRODUCTION

The Nigerian Army on Tuesday formalised agreement with the Defence Industries Corporation of NIGERIA / Command Engineering Depot on mass production of 28 Mines Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles for its counter terrorism/insurgency and other operations across the nation.

The agreement was signed by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Yusufu Buratai, represented by the Chief of Policy and Plans, 'Army' Lt Gen Lamidi Adeosun and the Director General of DICON, Maj Gen Victor Ezugwu at the Army Headquarters Abuja.

Buratai disclosed that the agreement would enable DICON/CED to roll out the vehicles within a specified period of time.

This act by the Nigerian Army under the dynamic and ingenious leadership of Lt Gen TY Buratai is in line with the Federal Government of Nigeria local content policy, where the Army has since been working assiduously to locally manufacture/produce her basic requirements in the areas of lift capability, light weapons, Armoured Personnel CarrierHe and kitting.

According to him " it was in furtherance of the government’s effort to reduce reliance on foreign countries to acquire the needed equipment for its operations towards addressing the prevailing security challenges across the country that this event is been executed today.

Buratai commended DICON for its commitment to developing local content and capacity of the home based engineers of the Nigerian Army to solve the nation’s security problems.

He added that the initiative was to look inward through research and development to come up with what can be called indigenous MRAP vehicle.

“We are gathered here today to actualise one of the lofty dreams of the army in reducing challenges of having to rely on everything from outside Nigeria in terms of lethal equipment for Nigerian Army.

“Lethal requirement is one of the critical requirements that assist in professionally discharging our duties after good training.

“We have been relying solely in getting this critical equipment from outside.

“All of us are fully aware of the challenges that the Nigerian Army and Nigeria as a country has continued to face in all attempt to acquire all important military equipment for Nigerian armed forces particularly the army.

“We will go ahead to sign the agreement for the first ever locally produced MRAPs by the Nigerian Army in collaboration with DICON and Command Enguneering Depot in phases of the contract agreement,’’ he said.

Responding, the Director General of DICON, said that the first batch of the 10 MRAPs in production at its factory in Kaduna would be delivered in December, 2019.

He assured that the company had the capacity and the manpower to execute the agreement in line with the government’s plan to develop local content.

According to him, I want to assure you that we will meet the timeline for this contract and the first set of 10 of these vehicles will be ready by early December this year.

“The partnership has brought about the first indigenous MRAP vehicle and I want to thank the Chief of Army Staff for having confidence in us which ordinarily would have been mission impossible.

“The beautiful thing about what we are witnessing today is that we are doing both research and development and production of this vehicle together.

“That is why in less than a year, we have the prototype produced and we are going into the mass production phase with this contract signing.

“I want to assure COAS that the standard that is contained in the characteristics of MRAP vehicle would be maintained.

“We have passed the phase of research and development, we are in full production,” he said.

Many senior army officers were in attendance during the historic event which include the Chief of Logistics Army Maj Gen JI Unuigbe, Chief of Projects and Programmes Maj Gen MSA Aliyu, Corp Commander Ordnance Maj Gen OA Akintade, Director Legal Services Maj Gen YI, Shalangwa and Commander Command Enguneering Depot Brig Gen SS Araoye.

I feel a battlefield release of this is rushed considering the very poor spatial awareness. It remains a good concept vehicle IMO

I'm not an engineer sha. But this vehicle reminds me of the Casspir.

What do you mean by spatial awareness?

this ezugwu is a joke of a contraption.....a deathtrap.....you see those rivets, or abi bolts on the body, those are potential shrapnels.....why didn't we just stick with proforce and use this contraption, in our training schools.

Bros no vex, how did you come to this conclusion?

Have you seen the vehicle's test results?

You seem so sure, abeg if you don see am post so that we go fit see am too?

Thanks

The tens of Engineers plus possibly foreign engineers that have gone through the training of making this or even the army with the experience and preferance for what they want, made something, but for so some reason, one tobi in ekiti state who neither is an engineer nor knows the process of making vehicle feels that he knows better than those engineers.

Nigeria has a perfect MRAP designed and produced by ProForce that meets international quality standards and could be displayed with pride at any Defence Expo in Europe and the Middle East. But our incompetent army leadership thinks they can design something better and even thinking they should produce vehicles in their faculties. No army in the world does that it is not best practise. The result is sub standard (of course) and therefore a thread to the lifes of our brave soldiers at the front-line.

I am not surprised at all because we live a country where mediocrity is praised, accepted and understood by our leadership.

What the army focus on:
* Maintenance, Repair and 0verhaul
* Reseaech and Development
Production should always be done by the private sector.

But this was built by DICON, not the Nigerian army.

I have been asking, has anyone seen the test results and could you please share it?

I am also keen to know the STANAG protection level of the Ezugwu.

But you concluded it is thrash.

Did you come by your conclusion without seeing it's bomb protection level?

if a big explosion goes off, around this vehicle and the troops are dismounted, the troops are going to hate themselves, the shock wave, would send those nuts flying like bullets, they didnt stick with proforce i wonder, well if they do the right thing, i wonder where they would steal billions from.

Sir, have you seen some of the ballistic test videos of these vehicles?

There was a video Oga Henry240 shared a couple months back, the ballistic level of the vehicle is high. Soldiers stood 10 meters away and shot AK-47 gun at the vehicle and it did not penetrate.

If you are standing beside a vehicle and it blows up by a bomb, you're dead. This is the fact with all vehicles.

I think those nuts are used to hold the ballistic plates on the vehicles down. I saw it with Proforce too.

Not everything is about stealing. The Reva we bought from South-Africa did not last. The CS/VP3 did not go round.

The army bought 30 units of Proforce ARA MK2.

I don't see the issue here.

Google; "rivets coming off in combat", sometimes i don't know the people we have as decision makers, and why people can't call off their bluffs.

These are modern armoured vehicles with Rivets, just like on the Ezugwu MRAP APC.


I don't quite understand your argument Sir.

I don't know what's with you guys and the hate towards Ezugwu MRAP...According to the Engineers they have passed the R&D stage of the mrap.Thats why they have decided to go with mass production.They know how the vehicle works.
