Did you guys know the Russian spetnaz and fsb uses m4a1 and hk417(in limited quantities)
Same way the US special forces uses the svd dragunov designated marksman rifle.
Crazy world

US special forces units do not use SVD Dragnovs. These are equipment used by Russia, China, some African states and many terrorist groups

The US military make use of general purpose rifles like the M4, HK 416 and most especially SCAR H for short ranges. When designated rifles are used they are MK14, M110, MK2010 and many others.

However, US troops train with SVD Dragnovs in preparedness for situations were an enemy rifle might be the only choice in a battlefield. This also happens with AKs and other non NATO standard rifles.

HAL signs a contract with Nigerian Army for imparting Phase-II flying training on Chetak Helicopter for six officers of Nigerian Army Aviation. This marks the continuation of contract signed in April 2021 for imparting Phase-I flying training to 6 Nigerian Army aviation officers.

I thought they pulled out

They have pulled out. They are now deployed in Niger.

As my favourite economist, the great John Maynard Keynes said, "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent".

Many of the region’s April oil cargoes have yet to find a home because the three biggest customers — China, India and Europe — are buying less, according to traders specializing in West African barrels.
“The Asian market has softened with the lockdowns and there is not as much West African crude going to China,” said Livia Gallarati, an analyst at Energy Aspects Ltd. “There has been some call on West African supply in Europe, but it isn’t as strong as North America or the Middle East.”

Angola depends heavily on China for crude sales, but oil demand there is weaker because tens of millions of people are once again under lockdown, and smaller independent oil refiners known as teapots have cut back purchases.

Nigeria’s sales to Asia are also suffering because its key buyer, India, is looking well-supplied following a spate of Russian oil purchases, McKay said, adding that India imported almost as much Urals from Russia last month as in all of last year.

West Africa’s other main market, Europe, is also seeing muted buying because oil refineries there view cargo offer prices as too high, traders said.

Several shipments of Nigerian crude have been offered for sale in Europe multiple times in a pricing window organized by Platts in recent weeks, without securing either buyers or bids.

this racked vehicles are kicking BOT ass and saving lives, if we can get Russian BMP 2M would be a game changer.
Although it has tin/light Armor but the remote gun and other optical sensor would improve combat efficiency

Meanwhile, in Mozambique.

Some interesting updates from SIPRI.

• 40x Mistral SAM’s for SIMBAD-RC from MBDA France they will be installed on 2x Dearsan OPV for The Nigerian Navy.

• 24x F-124 turbofan engines ordered for 12* M-346FA/FT aircrafts.

The people here who've been supporting Russia in her aggression and are from Nigeria: still feel the same way now that Russia has shown the middle finger to India's main oil supplier - Nigeria - by undercutting the oil price?

With the war in Ukraine, I don't think we will be getting any military equipment from Russia any time soon.

From the war in Ukraine, you can see how 30mm guns are important.

I think we need to purchase proper IFVs from China to support our APCs and MRAPS.

The Nigerian military has received nearly 350 units of Wheeled and Tracked armoured personnel carriers. The 12.7mm HMGs which the vehicles carry are great, but we need heavier firepower.

This is a significant confirmation of Nigeria's purchase of the M-346, at last, the final days of the Alpha jets are fast approaching.

SAM systems for the OPVs we ordered from Turkey, nice!

Why not build a pipeline to S.Africa, E.Africa,....

Salatavor:
The bikes have more antiballistic cover, is faster and more maneuverable. In battle every single inch ballistic protection matters.

Meanwhile I have just finished watching Eagle Wings... The Nigerian Airforce are trying and that movie though it was acted by non professionals clearly depicts a service arm that has the people at the heart of it operations. I pray that is true...

Can you please help me with the movie download link?
