[2026-04-13] @cecild84 (Sahel Revolutionary Soldier): 🇳🇪🇳🇪Niger: The country is using a state-of-the-art system acquired from #Russia to strengthen its air defenses.
Niger has since Wednesday, April 10, 2024 received a state-of-the-art anti-aircraft defense system acquired as part of military cooperation with Russia’s the federation.
It is hoped that the system – whose details have not been disclosed – will enable Niger to strengthen its capacity to protect its airspace against air threats, including drones and fighter jets.
The military equipment of this system arrived in Niamey, with the participation of 100 Russian military instructors who will install and train the Nigerian military to use it. This training will help the Nigerian Armed Forces gain total mastery of the system’s capabilities and utilize them optimally to ensure security of the country.
The procurement of this anti-aircraft defence system is a key element in the modernization of the Nigerian armed forces and diversification of its partners in the field of military cooperation. Niger faces many security challenges, particularly the terrorist threat in the Sahel region and all kinds of traffic. It is imperative for the country to strengthen its air defence capabilities. > This strengthening of military cooperation between Niger and Russia is a sign of the importance the two countries place to security and stability in the Sahel region.

Will Niger help check Nigeria doing the bidding of the empire?
They already have, along with other Sahel Alliance States (AES). Not too long ago Nigeria was threatening to invade Niger on behalf of the neocolonial puppet organization ECOWAS, and they were dissuaded by the combined military power of Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso.
Did I forget about that?! 😮 Hopefully I missed it and am not that overloaded, mentally.
Benin hosted a french warship, and since niger relies on benin for sea access (during colonial times they were even ruled as one administrative unit for a time via an attempted Sahel-Benin Union), there was some major tension a short while ago.
I have a vague memory trying to form, thank you! I’d like to place Steve Bannon on the receiving end of a firehose of his own doodoo.
I mean, slowly. There is the threat of the US throwing its full weight behind Nigeria, that’s the purpose of all the Nicki Minaj “Christians are being genocided” (not just Christians, often by US-trained fundamentalist groups, & basically with complicity/corrupt involvement from the NG govt even when it’s just banditry). It seems like they are aligning with Morocco, which I’m iffy about, but it should open up a lot of opportunities. They just can’t be trusted, long story short
Thank you, my initial reaction was unease in my gut.
