davefurn: Nigeria very much does need an Air Defense System as every serious country does. Nigeria is surrounded by enemies wether we want to admit it or not. As for now Nigeria doesn’t really poses one. 1 Like |

Naijasauce69:You risk entering into the cycle of just naming machines if you miss the reality of the bolded. Nigeria needs a system of air defence and it is a multilayered approach of jets, radars and SAMs 4 Likes |

davefurn: Nigeria does not have strategic missiles. Nigeria's air defense system consists of 9 F-7NI and 3 units of JF-17 multi role fighter jets. If you are talking GBADS, Nigeria has a couple obsolete Rowland Air Defense Systems. 4 Likes |

Odunayaw: Lurker4Long: I know what I said and my original statement remains the same. Nigeria needs a descent multilayered Air Defense System. Considering Nigeria’s political and economic situation expecting to much or the most modern isn’t realistic but I consider this the bare minimum. A more sophisticated radar array network straddling Nigeria’s land and sea borders; preferably of Russian origin to better link with what comes next. About a dozen S300 units and at least 4 Squadrons of JF-17 Thunder Block 2s. A healthy amount of portable infantry surface to air missile launchers like Stingers, Javelins, QWs, etc would be sprinkles on top. Now obviously that want stop the most powerful nations around the globe but it will be a good deterrent for almost everyone else not to mention a good start for future improvement.

Still baffles me how God will just put alot of like minded people in a single geographical area. They say everybody can't reason and think thesame way but these guys always seems to break that law. Twitter is an eye opener to me. I've been studying that area for a long time on Twitter and YouTube, they all seems to think, reason and behave thesame way, which is weird. 4 Likes

For any African brave enough and needs money you can join LPR or DNR. They are currently recruiting Russian can be got through Greece. But it would be best to have a trans African oil pipeline from north to south and west to east |

TabletMan: Russian army contracts end traditionally in April and many Russian contract soldiers deployed to Ukraine will not renew their contracts and drop out. Since there is no mobilization announced the RU MOD can not fill (officially) those gabs with conscript soldiers. This is the reason they have to take in a growing number of retried soldiers from very poor regions from the far-east as cannon-fudder and Wagner PMCs like this two guys from Central African Republic killed in Donbas. 1 Share

Naijasauce69:But Canon fodders usually made up the infantry troops who are to work with artillery men, Tanks and other heavy equipments. When those who are not battle strong received a boom, they will run and leave those professional equipment handlers at the mercy of enemy's ATGMS and firepower. This above is just my reasoning... That's why I decided to ask the need for them. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Naijasauce69: 5:41pm On Apr 26, 2022 |
TabletMan: When people refer to Canon Fodder they mean cheap expendable infantry. Not all infantry units are treated equally in situations like this. The old Colonial Powers often used there colonial troops in such a way. I believe even in the early 2000s there was a fallout between Italian and Nigerian peacekeepers in Sudan or Somalia where the former tried to use the latter in a similar way to canon fodder. I can’t find the article but I believe they wanted the Nigerian infantrymen to openly engage the enemy without cover drawing all there fire while the Italian infantry picked off the insurgents from a distance. Of course the African troops suffered more casualties. It was something like that my memory is fuzzy I’m sure someone will correct me. ![]() 2 Likes |
