Henry120: Yeah, training a whole battalion to be ranges, sending advisors and intel not to mention a brigade or so's worth of vehicals is totally something to scoff at |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by patches689: 5:45pm On Dec 03, 2014 |
bidexiii: Those are not top of the line Abrams those are old ones without the DU layer and armor upgrades modern ones have No modern Abrams has ever been penetrated by an RPG or ATGM |

agaugust: Tracks mean a loss of mobility BMP-2 will not be as mobile or have the range as boko in their wheeled vehicals Wheels are better than tracks in COIN |

patches689: Training for 3weeks the Nigerian government paid $550k for, you think it's free? What intel? .......The same intel they've been hoarding, and have not shared, of what use is that? "So 8 military trucks and a couple technicals now count for brigade worth vehicles?". Don't be delusional guy. 1 Like |

Henry120: Nope. The LUH is simply costly to operate, but a small, fast helo is essential for CASAVAC, CSAR, SAR, Trooping, EW, Recon, CnC etc The fact that it has sold many units is proof of this. Gazelle is better though |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 5:57pm On Dec 03, 2014 |
patches689: Nope. LUH have lost there relevance in the military, not like they were ever relevant for the military. The gazelle is better because it is a light attack helicopter, more like an armed flying LAV, not an LUH. |

celeron40: Experience in Afghanistan showed that the BMP design is not suited to COIN or convoy work |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by patches689: 6:09pm On Dec 03, 2014 |
bidexiii: RPG-27 is the only RPG variant to penetrate a modern battle tank, and it did so by hitting the underside (least armoured part) of a Chally 2 that was going over a mound, and even then, the driver only lost a toe and drove home. Polish Rosomak IFV took multiple RPG hits in Afghanistan and drove home. RPG-7 was designed 50 years ago, and is wholly outdated now for anything other than infantry support |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by patches689: 6:10pm On Dec 03, 2014 |
bidexiii: see my post above about penetration. Americans re-introduced the Carl Gustav for infantry support purposes, not AT |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by patches689: 6:18pm On Dec 03, 2014 |
Henry120: Gazelle is not a light attack helo Its a utility helo, like the LUH |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 8:00pm On Dec 03, 2014 |
patches689:the gazelle is described as a light, scout attack helicopter. It seats 5 people. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by MikeCZAR: 10:32pm On Dec 03, 2014 |
Henry120:It is a LUH. But can be fitted to carry out roles such as AT, reccon and surveillance. |

Heard from a source that NA T-72 is really changing the tide of the battle, here is the link; www.premiumtimesng.com/news/172275-exclusive-inside-nigerian-militarys-renewed-offensive-boko-haram-terrorists-now-run.html |

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by overhypedsteve(m): 11:52am On Dec 05, 2014 |
MikeCZAR:comments like this should be ignored. The introduction of new technic, approach, equipment, men and leader always change the tide in a battle either negatively or positively. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by bidexiii: 12:08pm On Dec 05, 2014 |
MikeCZAR:and statements like this should not be taken serious especially when it is coming from an SA's |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by patches689: 12:36pm On Dec 05, 2014 |
overhypedsteve: Its true MBT's are of limited use in COIN They can provide over-watch and direct fire in the infantry support role, and they have defensive applications But look at the war in Syria or Chechnya, a tank in a COIN warzone (especially ones that tend to explode like the '72) are not very usefull. Furthermore, the T-72 in such a war doesnt offer much more than a T-55/52 or Vickers Basically, you have introduced a low mobility asset into a high mobility war. More BTR-3's would be the ideal asset 1 Like

patches689:even MBT with strong body armour are also not left out,it all depends on or tactics and the ground infantry support .like d picture u posted u can see d infantrymen r given a 360 eye support from surrounding enemy with antitank and RPG weapons. an RPG will send a btr on flames tough d men inside may b lucky |

Guys, this is a photos only thread. A question or two is fine, but continually giving long comments (epistle's) defeats the purpose of this thread. How are we supposed to enjoy the photos? |

overhypedsteve:Any optimistic or pessimistic article about military operations should taken with a pinch of salt. Read that article you'll spot many contradictions. |
