lionel4power: I would assume having an extra pair of eyes and sensors is an operational capability the SAAF will not budge on. Helicopters are magnets to ground fire, and that extra Rooivalk would be able to pick up the source and engage it. I would take a wild guess and say many chopper pilots shot down never even see who is firing at them, before its too late. 3 Likes |

http://odili.net/news/source/2018/mar/14/314.html GERMANY donates Five Gunboats to Nigeria also Donates MTU Engine training Henry please forgive me I know you are busy , perhaps you can get some pictures? The MTU Engine training is a pleasant surprise as a lot of our Ships including the two most recent NN UNITY& CENTENARY are MTU Engines I believe ( Someone correct me if I am wrong). |

frumentius: Our issues are minor. I just finished Roméo Dallaire's book on his mission to Rawanda. Obviously he tries to paint himself in a good light, and in the process comes off as a naive 1st world idealist, but holy sh1t the UN really fvcked him over. Seriously, fvck the UN. If it werent for the Tunisian and Ghanaian elements working daily miracles (like the Ghanaians holding part the air-port, and in the process catching massive cross-fire from all sides) it would have moved beyond disaster and straight into the realm of a greek-tragedy. 2 Likes |

LTGEN:As at last year. https://m.guardian.ng/news/navy-needs-250m-to-refit-nns-aradu/ I once read it somewhere where the CNS discussed well about the refitting. He said the fire control radar and onboard systems and others will be changed. Meaning missiles too will change. IMO, a new ship on NNS Aradu hull and superstructure. |

Odunayaw:The navy doesn't agree with that. I heard they're trying to get a new frigate too. Nenesis2u, if NNS Aradu gets refited /overhauled with new weapon systems, etc. Does it still worth it? |

tdayof:following the whole shebang since 2011,I'd say it's just beans talk As far as am concerned, the Aradu's structure is old and it is uneconomical resuscitating it 1 Like |

lionel4power: It's the SAAF doctrine. See, 2 helicopters assaulting the ground is better than 1. In order to save your own troop lives you need to inflict maximum damage to the enemy before moving in. Also, the Rooivalk was meant to take care of heavy armour for troops deployed far from the base (like paratroopers and SF) so having 2 in the air simultaneously is better than one because going back to the base to reload would be far and deadly for the troops left behind. And, in case one is shot down then the remaining one would secure the other by immediately landing on the field and extract the pilots (I read extra seats can be placed on the external frame) for this.

Rhinoceros r pretty suicidal , they always shit in the same spot, hence a easy prey for poachers, guess nature did not factor in stupidity of humans ie baseless superstition and greed while determining the traits of animals. Sometimes here rhino charge passenger buses and slam them , not much damage done except for lot of wet under wears maybe. |
