It is primarily because of French difficulties in transporting gear/equipment/men to Mali, that's why i'm saying specifically in a war between Algeria and France(excluding NATO), French forces would be beaten back well. Even the French only re-joined NATO 13 years ago, who says they won't leave again.


What can the French deploy against Algeria, that the Algerians won't be able to counter. The Algerians are no common militants in Mali and they have the experience of previously fighting the French, they would match the French fighter for fighter and already poses more Tanks than the French.


Do you think the Algerians would seat back and watch the French build up a military presence on their borders, won't happen. Algerian military doctrine only revolves around protecting Algeria and nothing else.

Here they are, atleast the ones i know of. The guys from the Air Force Regiment are wearing the black version of Photos 2 & 3, while i haven't yet spotted Photo 4 (which looks more tactical) with any soldier yet.


There's the "total" version that comes a backpack.

U.S. Air Force Maj. Christopher McCarthy, HH-60G helicopter evaluator pilot, 56th Rescue Squadron, observes Kenyan Defense Force members during African Partnership Flight Kenya June 27, 2016 at Laikipia Air Base, Kenya. The APF is designed for U.S. and African partner nations to work together in a learning environment to help build expertise and professional knowledge and skills. The APF included a Kenyan-led exercise, Linda Rhino, in which instructors observed the application of what was learned in the classroom and provided feedback. The exercise included multiple personnel recovery scenarios. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Evelyn Chavez/Released)

We really need to replace our Alpha jets. Decent deployment to Port-Harcourt. 3 attack helicopters, 2 light utility helicopters, 1 ISR and 2 light attack jets.

Nice beautiful boat for Senegal, at 58 meters, it's a decent size for a small sea going OPV, however it's a little to large for littoral Patrol and not big enough for proper ocean going. Anyway they won't need to patrol far into sea while smaller 10 - 25 meters boats can patrol inshore.



Brings us to Nigeria, Vessels like the OPV 190 could represent a decent acquisition for the Navy instead of only investing in large OPVs. At 58 meters, local Nigerian boat builders could task themselves and build it, Instead of only concentrating on small boat and interceptor builds.

58 meters isn't a significant size.

Odunayaw:
the badge on the guy in the pic 2 is of NASOC

Odunayaw:
exactly o..something like dz
but I think the NN likes opvs that inspire the fear of God in pirates sha

if we Start building dz...soon we'll get a deal to supply a country in west africa

I was thinking we should give our mbb339 to the company that made them in turn of at least 6 of the evil twin of the yak130

MikeCZA:
The long range OPVs make sense as many of your neighbours lack the capability to patrol their.
