The earlier the south Africans intervene in the impending crisis in Mozambique the better for that region. Every regional power must take it upon itself to ensure that global terrorism is squashed as soon as they start raising their ugly heads.
Are they war-rusty?

I was telling someone the same thing yesterday. If they don't intervene in Mozambique at the very least through airstrikes, they may soon become like us.

komekn:


Actually 1500km with near 40 hour duration.

I know that
But what to do with that range ?

All UAVs have a range of approx 300 km for LOS control .

1500 km range is through SATCOM.

That will require a GEO satellite positioned overhead with dedicated transponders with high data throughput and low latency.

Unless one has the required satellites in place to enable UAV ops beyond 300 km over a given region , extended range capability of any UAV is moot.

( One can use repeater UAV to support another UAV beyond 300 km , but in real life ops it is rarely used for obvious shortcomings )

baba...drop the video, shoo..

Na video we wan watch. As far as there's motion picture we are ok..bro

Both are retd para SF but the interviewee is from 9 para the interviewer is 1 para .

The context I talked about was when he reveals he came out of a deep op after 1 year and 8 months.

You want to disgrace South Africa abi.

When the southies enter that conflict, you will appreciate Nigerian military.

The southies know too well from previous interventions,,, to keep off or get humiliated.

I don't anchor my deductions on another persons irrespective of designation and or assumed knowledge. So whatever the CAS has to say is his opinion not mine.

"The A29 Turboprop Tucano is what we need" according to you. But, why, how or for what reason ❓ ❓

It is better to anchor your position with a substantive deduction, rational and or explanation, Unfortunately you give none. After all the time you have spent here l expected more.

The A29 Tucano is stupendously over priced and everything associated with it will be too. My suspicion are knowing the Americans you will only be able to attach compatible munitions, that is American or NATO sourced munitions. That means very expensive. Anything else will not be compatible.

It's a bit like some laptops and how they ensure that universal components will not be compatible and the inherent software in your laptop continously rejects it.

Quite some time ago l went into depth with regards to munitions costings. I used a published MOD official documents accessed under the access public information legislation UK.

With that l was able to make informed projections with regards to costs. My presumption is that the HMG ( 12.7mm) of the A29 will be used quite often as well as the guided rockets which are produced by BA systems.

You seem articulate and informed do a little bit of open source research. Do not be parochial and assumptive open your mind consider, balance and appraise. It will be beneficial to you as a person and increase your capacity. As well as intelligence.

But l remember if I am right you saying to that the NA, could not afford the N2A42 165X30 mm ammunition required for the BTR4. That they pleaded with the NAF who refused to give them any. As a consequence we have cannibalised the BTR4 and stuck on top of it a very rudimentary HMG. Rendering the precision RWS ineffective and obsolete.

The 2A42 ammunition is significantly cheaper by a huge margin than the 12.7mm and 20mm.

How many RPM is the rate of fire of A29 20mm and 12.7mm guns. Below an excerpt from a previous post on this topic.

So when we even get these overpriced A29 turboprop and then fire the 12.7 mm HMG for just 3 minutes it could cost you( UK MOD prices) $58,000.00. Now tell me that's sustainable in the Nigerian context

Now having that thought in mind how much does a near 100% accuracy Chinese sourced ATGM cost that is used by the Wing Loong II UAV. My estimation for the BA-7, Blue arrow ATGM is less than $15k per unit.

Are you sure? Pls link your sources cause I'm seeing 100k$ for the HJ-8!? Milans and Javelins are 2.5 x that.

Possible Coup Underway In Mali | Sahara Reporters

Jimi24:


Please, you need to stop these amateurish expositions based on wrong premises. The A29 Super Tucanoes are one the most relevant aircraft to internal security architecture that we have ever bought.
Stop these irritating video game fantasy about fielding 200 Wing Loongs that will fire ATGMS at Boko Haram and destroy all of them in a few weeks. It is not even a funny joke.

Amen.

it's like they Wan give naija additional work

nemesis8u:


I would have posted a video from ex member of 9 para SF. You would have found it interesting in the current context , unfortunately english is used only now and then .

I've noticed a continuous tendency here both dangerous and amusing: constant underestimation of the real nature of certain specialised tactical functions and their platforms. It takes years to train true specops to operate in such a role and ofc they need own platforms. Typically such units operate anything from 3 to 14 days in the field without a break.

additional work or possible moral.

Guys you must watch these video from the beginning to the end.
These his what we undergone has soldiers, thanks @striker_arab for sharing these video and Punch video for making these shot video. I could remember these particular event and I knew two of the soldiers sentenced to death way back then in Borno.
Listen to the guy, what he said about how they excepted the Alpha jets and they never showed up and how they lost 38 soldiers during both that onslaught way back 2013!


[/b]The airforce his much better now; what the army needs his more drone and drones to the squad level, it will provide ample intelligence and situational awareness before venturing into into mission/attack[b]

I don't think so. This is a full scale government issue, not terrorism. They'll rather push ecowas to act in their favor.

they would've waited for our jf17, Tucano and drones to land first nah. Work dey oh in this west Africa sha. Even president quattara's village people are already pushing him into express.

Saddening

I hope Frontline soldiers don't watch this.

Ongoing coup in Mali, Bamako. Suspected military coup against President IBK ( described as mutiny) is condemned by ECOWAS - in a communicae signed today in Abuja, Nigeria - Cedeao edges the military to return to Barracks but will this strong condemnation be enough?


Update from #Mali: Colonel Diaw is the leader of the ongoing coup d’état in the capital Bamako.

Unless fresh bloods on the frontline most soldiers back then knew about these issue and acclaimed mutiny by the army hierarchy.

though I don't blame him. I heard that incident then resulted in a serious gunfire and the major was almost killed. Thank God they were later acquitted.

Faithful007:

Yeap some spice said they president, prime minister where arrested earlier in the day, government workers fled their offices as armed men began detaining officials including the country's finance minister Abdoulaye Daffe.

While some sources said the President and prime minister managed to escape to the UN peacekeeping base.

our house is on fire and you guys are seriously happy about us getting entangled in another big brother bull crap?. omo

USA plays world police despite having their own fair of internal disorders..

We must have west Africa in our hands bro.. if we must loose our weight in Africa as a continent..not west Africa our own backyard I must say..

But Ghana are spearing up ..they re trying to bite more than they can chew.. let them thread carefully or else they I'll be crushed to ashes by our bare foots..

It's time to grab these infants by their balls and make them obey

The president is in custody of the coup plotters, there is a video.

It would be best if Nigeria does nothing other than protecting the borders. We were ridiculed by France the last time we were in that country.
If at all we want to do anything, the airforce can just bomb strongholds of the coup plotters and perform low passes around the capital as psychological warfare. It should make the coup plotters afraid.

The first thing is to find out who backed the man. This guy braved a Coup days after international negotiations started.

let's see how things unfold. No international community backed the Coup. All have condemned it. The only problem is that the malians seem to like it.
