Nigerian website Beegeagle published on Monday, December 29, photos of Nigerian troops posing near a batch of Ukrainian T-72AV main battle tanks and BTR-4E armoured personnel carriers. Earlier in the day, contracts for the supply T-72AV and BTR-4E military vehicleswere reported on both sides, reported the Russian website BMPD.

However, information on the implementation of the Ukrainian state enterprise "Lviv Armored Plant" to repair and pre-sales T-72AV to Nigeria appeared in September 2014. As for the BTR-4E, it seems that Nigeria bought part of the batch of BTR-4 APC's that has not been adopted by Iraq and was returned in early 2014 to Ukraine.
