Nigeria government receives chinese Artillery Tank to burst the capacity of Nigeria troops fighting The Boko Haram insurgency that began in 2009, when the jihadist group Boko Haram started an armed rebellion against the government of Nigeria China's state-owned NORINCO delivered 17 armored vehicles including artillery trucks, VT4 main battle tanks and ST1 tank destroyers to the Nigerian Army (NA) on Wednesday. The company won the $152 million military equipment and training package last year reportedly owing to its flexible maintenance policies and durability of equipment. The West African country is the first in the world to own these armored vehicles, which are built to carry a minimum of 12 armed personnel. The brand new Chinese weapons are in different categories- heavy tanks, light tanks and two types of artillery weapons. The first set of 15 40-foot containers that were offloaded before today were made up of spareparts and accessories of all these equipment," Army’s Chief of Policy and Plans (CPPLANS) Lieutenant General Lamidi Adeosun said http://www.kcitytv.com.ng/2020/04/nigeria-receives-chinese-artillery-vt4.html?m=1

We really should start drawing a line with china bcuz dem motherfuckers are the most opportunistic and exploitative sons of bitches on the planet. We should make use of their tech and infrastructure to quickly grow then cut ties with them bleeps and librate the rest of the African countries ourselves. If only wishes do come true... i wish africa Unity. Its the bane of our problems in all African countries. 1 Like |
