LTGEN:

I try not to get into every discussion but guys there is something called prototype now
What we are actually seeing right now is the prototype
the ARMY ORDERED 130
Even in America the y will not build all models the same now
i beg take am easy
They have to find out ( from experience even in the battlefield )
what works and what does not
prototype no2. has a double axle at the back ( four wheels on the back) that means more weight / versus stability you find a balance
the prototypes will be driven very fast around bends ( what is the tip over speed ? it doesn't make it unstable)
guys take it easy the vehicle is not even a year old !

When last did you see photos of them in the battlefield?

I remember making some observations about this mrap. And kabe was putting me down....truthfully the army doesn't have the technical ability to make an mrap....they should have just stuck with proforce and negotiated a good deal based on number of vehicles....but I guess, the generals needed to make extra money.

Kabe2:


This is not entirely true. You didn't offer any credible criticism, just accusations of unfounded claims of corruption like you're currently doing.

Nigeria can't have a developed Defence industry especially in land systems if we have only one armoured vehicle manufacturer. Competition breeds quality products.

The ARA 2 did not become a world class MRAP over night, there were many, many trial and errors. Each iteration was shipped to the Nigerian army for testing, same thing with the Ezugwu.

There has been clear improvements between Ezugwu 1 and Ezugwu 2. There would continue to be improvements going forward.

Let us learn to appreciate indigenous efforts, as we cannot continue to import vehicles for our security needs.

When in many instances Nigeria paid for equipment but the seller did not deliver.

Ezugwu 2 has 4 rear tyres, I'm sure this was done to help improve mobility.

It's ballistic protection is excellent, at least we have all seen the videos of 2 Nigerian soldiers firing DICON & Ezugwu MRAP with AK-47 at close range.

We have not seen how it would perform with an IED but we can see that it has a very good V-shaped hull.

I'm sure the issues we have heard will be fixed, but as it is, there is no other option than to support made in Nigeria.

In supporting made in Nigeria, we cannot only have one supplier.

Proforce are where they are today because the army and federal government through multiple agencies have supported them. How come you did not see corruption there?

Lol he has forgotten (pic1) was ara1 when it was first unveiled, I can spot so many mistakes from the Hull sef

Second picture was that same ara, after they made some changes, you can spot

Before it even got to now

If I remember well, Ara1 was first unveiled 2017, while Ara2 was 2019, it took 2years to get to where it is now

So writing Ezegwu off just because it has some errors in it is just pure trolling

Why are German car manufacturers so good it has taken them over a century to have attained this level of excellent quality control, reliability and performance. That experiential knowledge added to R & D coupled with the WW2 experience gives them that ability top produce to quality products military or civilian.

That in itself creates organisational culture where excellence is never compromised.

Then somebody thinks that we can plonk a steel cabin on top of a chassis and heh presto we have a world class MRAP, it simply doesn't work like that.

I mentioned my concerns about the Ezeugo quite some time ago.

slimthugchimee2:

Is the second picture the Steyr?
