Henry120: Light weight Mortar =/= Commando Mortar Its not size, its not weight, its design that differentiates it. This is really basic stuff. You should know this. |

agaugust: Knee mortar is another word for Commando mortar Due to a translation error, the Type 10 was called the "knee mortar" by the Americans. The manual for the mortar instructed the troops to carry the mortar on the upper thigh, with the baseplate attached to the belt and the barrel running down the thigh. American troops on Guadalcanal became aware of the name "knee mortar" and thought the light design allowed it to be fired with the baseplate resting on the thigh. If the Type 10 were fired in this manner, it would result in serious injury due to recoil. However, once a few troops injured themselves, the mistranslation was discovered and further experimentation discouraged. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_10_grenade_discharger Google is your friend augugubgugu, it will prevent you from making a fool of yourself. |

@henry,you are being unfair to buhari.have you forgotten that after buhari overthrew shehu shagari's so called democratic government,he moulded nigeria to become one of the most disciplined and corruption free country of the '70s?,many corrupt policians went into exile,while he{buhari} locked up the rest,he initiated the WAI{war against indiscipline} programme,where everybody;rich and poor,high and low were made to comply to stipulated law,order and regulations or face penalties,in his time whips were used to control unruly behaviour at bus stops!.he refused to devalue the naira,and rejected IMF loan due to the terms and conditions applied,while the economy flourished at $10/barrel of crude oil!.isnt that the type of leader nigeria needs now?,forget about him being a coup plotter,he only plotted the coup due to the high level of corruption in the government.buhari,unlike jonathan,doesnt make thoughtless statement,his statement about "the dog and baboons being covered in blood" was an hausa proverb. 1 Like |

patches689: Knee Mortar = Light Mortar. @Patches = Baba Suwe. The Type 89 Grenade Discharger (八九式重擲弾筒 Hachikyū-shiki jū-tekidantō?) colloquially known as a knee mortar by Allied forces, is a Japanese grenade launcher or light mortar that was widely used in the Pacific Ocean theatre of World War. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_89_Grenade_Discharger . |

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 5:11pm On Dec 15, 2014 |
agaugust: Where did i say the commando mortar doesnt have a base plate? I said it doesnt have a separate baseplate, which normal mortars do Thats why i was able to ID it at a glance |

patches689: Valour frigate detecting F-7 jet at 180km is a waste of range, NO SINGLE weapon gun or missile in your over-priced frigate can fire above 8km altitude. At 180km your navy just keeps looking at radar screen like I watch my CNN on Tv...your navy can fvcking do nothing to my F-7 shocker of a jet ! Simple S-13 rocket pods have range 6km, F-7 can sink your frigate from behind where CIWS range is only 4km anti-air. F-7 can also fly amidships above deck at 90 degrees because your CIWS gun is useless at that perpendicular since it's maximum elevation is limited to 85 degrees. My F-7 jet has a free ride over your guns, ALL your freaking impotent guns |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 5:13pm On Dec 15, 2014 |
agaugust: Which S-13 rockets? Valour class will be watching your from 180km out, it will maneuver to have you facing the gun |

mzilakazi: I posted photo of NAF F-7 smoking gun here last month, NAF also confirmed to public that F-7 has been ravaging and damaging Boko Haram. That warns you about NAF's hot smoking current form in air to surface combat skills and experience. If NAF can use F-7 to blaast Boko Haram inside cities mixed with houses and innocent civilians, just imagine how easy it is for NAF to target a huge warship sitting alone like a doomed duck on a wide and clear open ocean where your ship is the only object floating there like stark n..a..k..e..d ! NAF is gonna have fun sinking your unlucky Valour frigates . |
