Henry240: Pictures selected because they look good. And yes, 12 000 pictures of a military comprising over 160 000 does represent a handfull - it represnts only 7% of your men, assuming each photo is unique Testimony of officers and men tell a different story. |

lionel4power: 1. 60mm mortar has a blast radius of 35-40m, 120mm has a blast radius of 60m. Accurate mortar fire will stop them dead - assuming your men can land a mortar round within 40m of their target 2. ATGM's are relatively cheap, reconciles rifles are cheaper. 14.5 mounted on vehicles are not accurate platforms due to suspension sway when shooting. 3. DShK has a 2km range, Y-3 AGL has a 2km range. Most mortars have a range up to 10km. |

patches689: Let me correct your ignorance. The Nigerian army comprises 97,000 men and officers Of this number, 20,000 men are serving in the North-East. 12,000 photos represents 60% of the men serving in the N.E. 3 Likes |

Excuse my repost After having been able to identify this vessel. It is my measured guess that this vessel is the sister ship of NNS Andoni. Nearly 40 meters boat which is currently under construction at the Naval dockyard. The boat should have been commissioned into service in 2015, a target it missed. It is expected that she would enter service this 2016, however like with all government projects, "hold you breath at your own peril". NNS Andoni II under-construction. 2 Likes

M14A1: Actually, I am arguing against the use of weapons that require accuracy. I am arguing for the use of area-affect weapons. The usage of 12.5 at ranges of 2km is ridiculous... you have zero accuracy, in Veitnam a soldier hit someone with a 12.5 HMG at that range and it made the record books... thats how rare it is. Look it up. Since WW1 the mortar always has been, and allways will be, the number 1 killer on the battlefield.

Henry240: Senless? Ok, so you have said we have 12000 pictures here. How do you know that? You have said that each picture showes they are well equipped... really, do you want me to reveiw the pictures on the last page alone? The simple, inescapable, fact is that soldiers and officers from your army have clearly outlined how some of your men are poorly equipped. This is not my opinion, it is fact - Your soldiers and Your Officers have said this. Not me Not your interpretation of a picture. The men, on the frontline, have said that. Again, I remind you, the only person continuing this discussion is you. Not me. And again I remind you that you are the one who started talking about Nigeria, not me If you want to continue, we can take it to the other thread so I can take my gloves off. 1 Like |
