Sahel region Niger
Because there may be a massive war involving the country of Niger I thought I would post the country's weapon purchases and to be honest they don't have much. Countries seem to only want to sell these guys Armored vehicles and some transport helicopters but nothing else barely any fighter jets or tanks. I got most of the sales but not everything just the stuff I believe to be important. The other sales are just the same stuff but a different model. It's all armored cars and helicopters. I don't how these guys are going to take out tanks. Niger should have a good some of the small arms captured from terrorists but I couldn't find the numbers on those. Again this isn't everything.
