Tanzanian special forces( aka south africa's bosses in DRC), clearer images

Congratulations to the republic of south africa. The BADGER IFV or AFV is truly a magnificent beast.

*Just get a bigger more powerful gun, and it becomes an AFV.

Even US special forces use pick-up trucks

Henry120: Even US special forces use pick-up trucks

These are not special forces. These are FBI SWAT teams deployed in a civilian environment in response to the shooting incident in Washington yesterday.. I'll go out on a limb to say that this truck is probably also deployed for everyday use like a normal truck would

My point exactly. tactical teams, who could pass off for special forces teams in other areas of the world.

Like I said before, I do not approve of the use of pick-up trucks by special forces teams in nigeria, but you overlook the mobility, speed and fuel efficiency they bring to table. Same reason why the FBI swat team deployed it instead of the heavier armoured trucks. Even in afghanistan, both us and british special forces have in many occasions deployed pick-up trucks.

That been said, we should deploy these nigerian made ACV's instead, in larger numbers. They provide protection against small arms and GPMG fire, including protection against HE grenades. They provide better protection than the widely used french panhard VBL series.

Nigerian army counter-terrorism training

MRAP, ACV, APC, IFV, AFV, JLTV, HMMWV, etc...So many acronyms for different vehicles of varying use. About time someone standardized it and fixed this madness..

2 of the guys there don't look kenyan.

Kenya has a substantial white and indian community. There are 10,000 kenyans of european ancestry. There are also 60,000 kenyans of indian ancestry. Mombasa, kenya's 2nd city also has a large number of kenyans of Arab ancestry.

Kenya is a racially mixed society, not on the scale of south africa, namibia, angola or zimbabwe, but it's pretty mixed.

See photos of us navy seals in aghanistan in 2011. Not 2005, 2011 with pick up trucks in the frontline

Those are indeed navy seals using ordinary Toyota pickup trucks. I can also see them carrying Kalashnikovs. Must have been a special mission in which blending in was paramount

SF use what is best for the job if that is Aks and horses so be it.
