Chinese Weapon Exports

Why not Pakistan tries with its own equipment.

They need to look towards an upgrade package from Russia or China to upgrade their MiG-21/F-7s to a single standard. Also they need to look towards Basic trainers and activate IJTs like K-8s and also try to look towards JF-17s Block-II or Block-IIIs as fighter and AJTs along with large numbers of UAVs from Pakistan and AEW&Cs from China.

Are you kidding buddy? This is a third generation vehicle and certainly out of place alongside with other Cold War and World War vehicles.

But they should have their own local facilities building it.

@Aeronaut Nishan is back he just won't quit.

Tanzania parades new Chinese kit

​

A Tanzanian military parade on 26 April to mark the 50th anniversary of the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar shed light on the Tanzania People's Defence Force's (TPDF's) recent procurement.

Photographs from the event at Dar es Salaam's Uhuru Stadium show the TPDF now has Type 63A light amphibious tanks, A100 multiple rocket launchers, Type 07PA self-propelled mortar systems, and FB-6A mobile short-range air defence (SHORAD) systems.

Along with its newly acquired amphibious tanks, the presence of Type 79 pontoon bridges and Type 84A mechanised bridges underscored the TPDF's emphasis on river-crossing equipment. In its December 2011 parade, the TPDF showed a Russian GSP heavy amphibious ferry, which consists of two vehicles that deploy pontoons and link together to form a motorised raft.

This equipment goes a long way to overcome the problems highlighted by Tanzania's war with Uganda in the late 1970s, when a succession of rivers and creeks presented tough obstacles for the TPDF. It also gives Tanzania, which is bordered by several rivers and lakes, the capability to intervene in other neighbouring countries.

The A100 300 mm multiple rocket launcher is very similar to the Russian BM 9A52 Smerch, although Norinco claims it has a longer range of 120 km. The system was rumoured to have been acquired by Tanzania in 2009.

Aimed at the export market, the Type 07PA combines the hull of the Type 07P 8x8 armoured personnel carrier (APC) with the 120 mm mortar turret from the PLL-05 self-propelled mortar. The mortar has a range of around 9 km.

The Chinese FB-6A is similar to the Boeing AN/TWQ-1 Avenger SHORAD system, which fires Stinger missiles from a Humvee-mounted launcher. The FB-6A uses the Shenyang SFQ2040 (a copy of the Humvee) as its platform, with each launcher carrying eight FN-6 missiles with a range of around 5.5 km. A separate vehicle carries a planar array target acquisition radar.

The FB-6A supplements the Russian-made Igla-1 (SA-16 'Gimlet') and Strela-2 (SA-7 'Grail') man-portable air defence systems (MANPADS) in service with the TPDF.

The parade also featured a previously unseen mobile surveillance radar that may have been acquired to support Tanzania's 2K12 Kub (SA-6 'Gainful') and S-125 Pechora (SA-3 'Goa') air defence systems.

The TPDF has also acquired WZ 551 APCs fitted with a 12.7 x 108 mm heavy machine gun and a coaxial 7.62 mm machine gun in a fully enclosed turret. This variant of the Chinese APC is becoming very popular in East Africa, with users including Burundi, Kenya, and Ethiopia.

Nigeria is not the biggest, in fact a few African countries are bigger than Nigeria

do you know how tanks are classified by generation ?
anyway some countries 3rd generation tanks and 4 generation tanks are same of its kind.
Type59G is this era tank, do not get confused with Type59 tag.
there is generation gap between Type59 and Type59G tanks

Yes nigeria is by far the biggest country in africa by population and recently by GDP. But by landmass its not, the largets country by landmass was sudan before the partition, now its Algeria.
Militarily Nigeria army is still one of the biggest/best in Africa. Fighting terrorists groups ios not an easy task. For example why hasnt India been able to crush the Terrorists in Kashmir for deacdes now? not to mention the several rebel groups operating in its north east areas, why hasnt Pakistan been able to crush terrorist groups in its tribal areas? why hasnt the U.S/west been able to crush the taliban in afghanistan and the rebellion in iraq when they were there? why hasnt the U.S been able to track/stop the boston bombings? why hasnt Russia been able to track/wipe out the terrorists in its caucas regions for decades now? why hasnt China been able to track down/wipe out all the terroists who operate in xijiang(though they use primitive sporadic weapons like knives instead of arms like others)? i could go and on. so dont judge Africa/Nigeria army by few/isolated extremist groups who carry attacks and run/hide afterwards. It can apply to several countries if you go by your reasoning.

When we say biggest city, country and etc, in normal sense, we go by the population...

e.g. the biggest city in u.s. is new york, biggest city in the world is mexico city and etc...

as for the example you have mentioned, the governments mostly have fought those terrorists, driven them into hiding, caused heavy damages to those groups and etc..

for nigeria, it seems that the government so far has no clue and did not even know where to surround those terrorists... it is just so dysfunctional.

As for China, well, we have tracked down those uighur terrorists and most of them are already in hell to make a formal complaint to their god: China is too tough and harsh toward them.

for nigeria, it seems that the government so far has no clue and did not even know where to surround those terrorists... it is just so dysfunctional.

I thought it was by area rather by population in a normal sense.

Does 49+1 Attrition were supplied by China along with funding? Also the 50-100 JF-17 Block-IIs are also funded by China?

Also how much Pak had payed back to China for the first 50 JF-17 Block-Is and also does the 60+ K-8s are funded by China?

I think nobody can tell that. Generally no any detail news about China and Pakistan weapons deal, only numbers.
