kemicalreact: Like seriously? You are saying if we had showed up with the cash that China would had refused to sell weaponry to us? Or Russia? Or Sudan? Sanctions don't cut it please. Now there are no sanctions, do you see massive equipment increase? Also, why did the sanction came into being? Would we be under sanction if the NA conducted itself in line with international best practices? 2 Likes |

kemicalreact:Oh, I do know about US sanctions. The same sanctions are making sure Cuba and Iran can't get the drugs and equipment it needs to treat its citizens. And did you know the US just bought ventilators from a Russian company that is under its sanctions. Ironic much? 2 Likes |

GabrielYulaw:You know we can't withstand US sanctions like Iran or Cuba. Egypt was threatened when they wanted to purchase the Kamov helicopters from Russia. That shouldn't be an excuse for the ineptitude of the Army though. |

kemicalreact: Hmmm. Have you looked at Algeria? They have more Russian and Soviet weaponry than you or I have ever heard of, from the T-90 to Kilo submarines. I am not hearing about any sanctions against them. And the Americans you are talking about recently purchased Russian helicopters for the Afghanistan government. Even if Russian arms are denied us, Italy, Britain, Switzerland, Finland, Turkey, South Africa, Sudan and so many other countries also sell arms. Is the US going to sanction us for buying arms from Italy? 5 Likes |

GabrielYulaw:There are local OEM manufacturers all over eastern Europe looking for sponsorship and they will produce anything you want for you. These are ex soviet scientist and engineers who went private. What some nations are doing is to sponsor those companies and use them to mass produce weapons at cheaper rates. 2 Likes |

GabrielYulaw:Yeah, I'm quite surprised by Algeria and Egypt's case, even Serbia (a strong Russian ally) was threatened when they wanted to buy the S400 ![]() ![]() I think Nigeria should go for Russian weapons. They're cheaper, reliable and their delivery would not have any political undertone. We should have gone for the Su 25 equipped with latest avionics instead of going for that Super Tucano which won't be delivered at anytime soon. The Su 25 is the perfect platform for this COIN war judging by its performance against terrorists in Syria. The problem lies with the decision makers and I doubt the president's situational awareness of what's going on in the North East. The man is senile and old, but I don't really blame him. ![]() ![]() Alll 6 Likes |

As far as I know, majority if the weapons that has been delivered to Nigeria are either from Russia, belarus, ukraine, Czech, or China. We've paid for some other weapons that the countries are finding it hard to deliver...... JF17 Now that most people have agreed that the US doesn't seem to want us to get weapons and that we can get from other powerful countries like china and russia like we've done with the drones MRAPs and helicopters. If US is serious about weapons not reaching us, it won't reach us. At least those weapons won't just appear in Nigeria. I recently mentioned a case that some of us here know about pakistan wanting to deliver weapons to nigeria, and the C130 was intercepted in saudi airspace and forced to land in a saudi airport. The cargo was siezed and nothing has been said about it till today. I have been searching all over the net for news about it to no avail and would appreciate if anyone can provide a link. That being said, I agree that our political class are corrupt and inept and even without foreign weapons, we should have fully defeated bokoharam a long time ago though it will be tough and cost a lot of lives. 3 Likes |

Salatavor: Getting arms from the former Eastern block is like buying sweets from a candy shop. Anything you want can be got for a fraction of the cost of USA and Western sourced arms. Do you know l can get a used BTR 80 for less than what it costs us to get one Toyota pick up gun truck. 2 Likes |

kemicalreact: Agreed without one iota of reservation. The Sukhoi Su-25 frogfoot (flying tank) is your best bet, double the payload of the A29. It's operating costs are probably lower than the SA29. Finally, Las Las, with some diplomatic Maradona and procurement ingenuity across the Eastern block. We can pick up 24 very easily and depending on thier spec. Retrofit them with updated avionics and weapons suite. 12 within 7 days 24 within a month. Average cost $ 4/5 million. We will not have to wait 4/5 years before first delivery. It's not a complicated plane to fly, so they should be operational within two weeks. The dont require high grade fuel. 3 Likes |

PRESS RELEASE TROOPS OF OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE NEUTRALIZE BOKO HARAM/ISWAP ELEMENTS AT WURGE AXIS OF BORNO STATE 1. In continuation of the ongoing robust/aggressive operations in the North East Theatre of Operation, the gallant troops of 3 Battalion/Quick Response Force Army Super Camp 11 Gamboru in Borno State on targeted patrol had another fierce encounter with some Boko Haram/ISWAP marauders in a convoy of seven gun trucks and many motorcycles who attempted to infiltrate the Battalions’ location at about 1800 hours on the 7th of April 2020. 2. Consequently, the criminals were over powered after which they fled. They were aggressively pursued to Wurge axis by the gallant troops/the Quick Response Force. 3.

Idriss Deby reveals: Nigeria supports Chadian forces in routing Boko Haram.

Deby who has relocated from Ndjamena to Boga Sola in the Lac Region said Nigeria provided ‘fairly substantial equipment’, in support of Operation Anger of Bohoma.. https://www.newspotng.com/idriss-deby-reveals-nigeria-supports-chadian-forces-in-routing-boko-haram/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Let some Nigerians continue to delude themselves into thinking Chad is "saving" Nigeria. 2 Likes
