celeron40:

Who new Nigeria had that! Ill stop visiting that Wiki page from now on..only God knows what is really in the N.A arsenal that went unlisted..Nice pics..keep them coming..also, what APC is that? Am sure its not a Steyr..it looks armed with a canon.

Henry120:
IGIRIGI APC flanking a Bofors artillery.
COIN N.E

realnas:
oga henry merri xmas ,is it true that bh captured a bofors fh 77 wen they over ran mubi?

Henry120:


It's a Steyr MT-LB armed with a 25mm cannon. The Enemy won't even know what him.

You should stop visiting wiki, I can only recommend you follow beegeagle..

That's an MGL the soldier in the first pick is carrying, I.Ding what particular type it is has been an herculean task. It is definitely not Milkor.

celeron40:
Steyr? I thought the MT-LB is Soviet made?..25mm..that's impressive..Its even a better package than a BMP-2 since it has a secondary weapon as an HMG..is that a DSHK on the Igirigi?

can someone compare the MI-35m helo to the apache? Do the same comparism between the T-72 and the Abrams.

NighttWalker:
Don't know much about the MI-35m and Apache but little I know about tank I can tell u that u can't compare T-72 to Abrams as Abrams tank is wayy better but the Russian T-90 is one good tank that can be compared to Abrams

neighy:
Yea
BTW... The T-90 seems to be better

neighy:
Normally. MI 35 is MultiPurpose.. Can be used to ferry troops also Because of its Size... It'll only be fair to Compare the Apache AH-64 to the MI 28havoc Or the Kamov 50 and 52 ...

NighttWalker:
T-90 is a good tank but isnt better than Abrams, T-90 is the only modern tank that has barely seen combat, relies too heavily on ERA armor, and is slower than any western tank or most modern tank

MikeCZAR:
when it comes to attack helicopters the Apache will come out on top, as it has been tested numerous times in combat. Its combat record puts the helo on top of others in its class.

The E version has advanced data links, its co pilot can even control UAV(s).

MikeCZAR:
The T-90 combat record will always put the MBT below the Abrams and Challenger.

Opinion: According to me the Russians have never produced any good tank since the world war 2 T-34 tank. All their tanks which came after the T-34 have performed bad in combat.

neighy:
The Radar makes it almost Impossible to Miss a Target.. It also automatically Searches for Target...

celeron40:
Yeah, in the hands of poorly-trained Iraqis, Syrians and Egyptians..The T-55 was an excellent tank, lightweight and easy to operate..Its size made it very fast in tank country too..Yet the Israelis blew them up in droves..The 1st Gulf war to was a disaster to Soviet made equipment,,the reason remains that they were manned not by Soviets and Russians but conscript militaries whose government's paranoia did not allow them let their militaries be well trained..Now our T-72s are tearing up Boko Haram columns in the North East..There is nothing wrong with Soviet tanks.

jteku:
Let just be clear....if United state uses its Abrams vs Angola's T90's then its a win for Abrams MBT, but if Russia use its T90 vs and lets say Angola uses Abrams as it MBT , than its a win for T90....thats all the comparism

The Russian MI-28 also has radar.

FirsTly u can never compare d T72 with any of d abrams !
When u want to compare the abrams u compare it with the T90, then I'll go for the T90 !
Both are the same generation tanks that as not witness enough combat, compared to the british challenger wich as the highest number of tank kills.
The only advantage the abrams have over the T-90 is its soft skin armor. The abram performed poorly in "operation desert storm" because d abrams was too heavy and d desert spoilt the tank wheels must of them never got to the tank battle and that was why the bradley IFV as the highest numbers of tank kill than the abrams,sure the abrams as a lot of electronics on it that makes it a dangerous killer but its weight is a big flop and that's why its no more in production and its far too espensive.
By 2020 we might not be seeing any abrams the american goverment will av introduced the "Ground fighting vehicle"; something more lighter that comes with better body amor and more affordable and cheap to maintain.

M14A1:

Let me paint a picture for you, seems most of the chaps here know little about modern day hardware.

Apache vs MI-35m
Result: The MI-35m would be like a large sitting duck. The apache would score kills over and over in any posssible scenario you try to pitch it against the Mil. Nothing short of a flawless victory.


Abrams vs T-72
Result: seriously The T-series are badasses, but this is just one battle the T-72 would lose, it is just too reliant on its kontakt armor.

Come to think of it the T-90 is touted as a mean killing machine, the question is has it been tested in the most hostile of territories against a mean sized number of anti-tank hardwares.
Answer is NO.
So while the T-90 is cheap, light, rugged, fast and urban minded, given a choice to go into battle with either the Abrams or T-90 I'd choose the abrams.
Because even the Catherine sight on the T-90 is of no use.
Modern warfare is all about first see, first kill...I would appreciate the added luxury of seeing far beyond my turret and painting targets even before they start steaming.
