The Armed forces of Nigeria are really trying these days, they have been over stretched, fighting on multiple fronts. May God grant us lasting peace in our Nation. There should be a structured operation to checkmate arms flow to the volatile parts of Nigeria. 6 Likes |

komekn: The intelligent question was asked by the guy. Why did Angola buy 66 MI8 (I dont actually believe that figure) but why would they have bought that number?. How many of them are actually operational at this time. I don't think Sudans aircraft acquisition also made sense. The only air force planes flying in Sudan now are J7s and Karakorum trainers i am sure. Buying hardware does not mean your military is powerful. Ask Gadhaffi. A few rebel forces turned his army sometimes No2 in Africa into nothing. In Iraq a few years back, ISIS with technicals and Land cruisers captured more tanks and armored cars in one week than the the entire Armies of West Africa 3 Likes |

Toju200: What % of local sourced manufactured or raw materials content is in these vehicles to call them " made in Nigeria" Do you know ![]() Innoson is essentially assembling Chinese vehicle that could not meet the quality control standards in Europe and the Americas. At a premium price in Nigeria. You are not more patriotic than me but I don't do window dressing and superficial praise singing �. I really want substance not spin. The MRAP is just one of the varied number of multiple armoured platforms required by the NA. Innoson vehicles are soft skinned and not particularly mechanically resilient and great off road. But we should just buy it because it supposedly and arguably made in Nigeria. 3 Likes |

komekn:innoson it's like 70% Nigerian. We've seen how their vehicles are made from steel cutting to Spraying. As for The MRAPs I'll say 50% We aren't just buying innoson because it's made in Nigeria bro. Innoson handed over 3 to them for testing and they liked it now we have over 100 in the Theater . The same goes to the ARA MRAP. 6 Likes |

Toju200:Which is why I find it ridiculous when I watch scenes in American military movies where helicopters land on their target's roof and the occupants of their building will still have no clue. I have seen NAF and Nigerian police helicopters flyby on several occasions and I must say those beasts make hella of a noise. You hear them before you even see them. 3 Likes |

Jimi24: You are sure of nothing, you are creating things from your imagination. You are making proposition that are quite frankly shamefully nonsensical. It's better to be quite and learn than to present irreverent Balderdash. Consider the bold. Unless you have substantiated information to contest operational status of aircraft. You can't just make assumptions about the Sudanese airforce. Angola has strategic forward planning that was birthed from a once hostile neighbour SA. Today war capability is very much anchored in its operation on supply chain logistics. And having 66 utility heavy lift helicopters gives you considerable advantage in COIN operations without them you are limited. Because we lack forward strategic planning doesn't mean neighbours do too. In Iraq with its heavily fractured army saw Sunni component if the Iraq army simply let ISIS take over Mosul in Iraq without a fight. Why should a country as big as Nigeria (Giant of Africa) have only 21, 2nd generation attack fighter aircraft. That to most people is unbelievable. That's the question you should be asking. 2 Likes

Toju200: Can you be specific. An innoson poor copy cat of the Mercedes-Benz G- Wagon, which is the Chinese BAIC motors BJ80 it has a kerb weight of approx 2000kg. The transmission, body frame ( chassis), drive train and Engine will weight a conservative 1400kg. Are they made in Nigeria ![]() Add the body shell, doors, etc suspension and wheels, that will be about 400kg at least . Are they made in Nigeria also . ![]() We now process iron ore into steel and then have steel rolling mill to roll the steel. Then the innoson factory has lazer cutters to precision cut the steel. I want to believe that we produce 100% Nigerian tyres in Nigeria and the tyres are sourced in Nigeria. Now consider what you have said and respond substantively. What % of Nigerian local content is in Innoson vehicles. 2 Likes |

I don't know how feasible this is but I feel the Nigerian police force should be temporarily stripped of all the helicopters in it's air wing and transferred to the NA for scouting and patrols. If the army has to take over the functions of the police force, they should also have access to the equipments the police force is meant to be using which they are not utilizing. 10 Likes |
