MikeCZAR:I disagree, the army in my opinion is still relatively well off. Some of the equipment might be old, but are of such good designed that they are still being sold today exp: casspir,mamba,samil. Rooikat, G6 and Olifant mk1b/mk2 all entered service in the 90s and are relatively new. SAAF on the other hand are still flying Daks that have been in service for more than 70 years and although modernised the hercs still date back to the 60s. And we still lack stratigic lift capability. |

Patchesagain:Well she'll probably be around another couple or so years, the Vessel replacing her will only be ready for service around 2018. Also I would recommend you try the Government site to get the official Budget speech in document form, should be a little more comprehensive than some article. |

[quote author=Henry240 post=43630009] He made a legitimate assessment. The 7.62 is a more powerful round than the 5.56, and i can say that all Nigerian soldiers fielding the Tavor, would love to keep it but wish they came in chambered in 7.62.[/quote 7.62*39 oe 7.62*51 |

With regards to your confusion over the type of guns, I am still digging for info. agaugust: ballballo:The women combatants are in the Recce (Reconnaissance) unit, aside from having the option to wear the army carmouflage, the black uniform is largely used for ceremonial purposes. The army green(OG/Olive Green) was decommissioned somewhere back in 2004. I thought the black uniform was inherited from the colonial era, considering that Ghana and Nigeria were part of the West African Frontier Fort. The picture below shows a Nigerian Vickers Mk.III Eagle tank operator in black uniform handing over an ordinance to a colleague. 1 Like

SA Soldier killed and another wounded in Sudan “The convoy came under fire 25 km from the exchange point and the security detail took up defensive positions and was able to hold ground. A South African was unfortunately fatally wounded during the exchange of fire with heavily armed rebels. Another soldier was wounded in the firefight and he was evacuated to El Fashir for treatment and is now in a stable condition,” he said. Some interesting info about our deployment: - Contributed observers and Staff Officers from 2004 onwards - Contributed around 850 men from 2008 - Current deployment costs R369,079,895 per year ($23 million) of tax payers money. This puts the total cost of the deployment (since 2008) in the region of $150-200 million. This is deployment cost (in theater) and excludes the added costs of training, insurance premiums and wear & tear on equipment. With this in mind, its hardly surprising we pulled out. Something I have personally advocated for quite some time. Goodbye and good fvcking riddance! 1 Like

SAS Spioenkop and EX IBSAMAR 5 Exercise Ibsamar V, between South Africa, India and Brazil, began on 18 February with a harbour phase, which comprised training by Special Forces teams, inter-ships visits, communication equipment installation and security briefsNote - this is a summery of salient facts Full story at: http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=42667:spioenkop-sailing-back-to-sa-after-ex-ibsamar-v&catid=51:Sea&Itemid=106 Very happy to see that the exercise comprised the full spectrum of naval operations - from special forces doing special things, to gunnery and to ASW - esp since we got to have a go at hunting Indian subs 2 Likes

patches689: Still better than sitting at home and doing nothing. Although i'm of the opinion that peacekeeping missions should instead by handled by Police forces, it's decent activity for the Troops and more greenbacks in their pockets. 1 Like |

Henry240: There is plenty to do for them at home - Op Corona for example. It also means we can have a bigger "training loop" and have men conduct more diverse training instead of focusing on peace support. Finally, I dont think UNAMID re-emburses. Arm-Chair General segment: My whole argument has always been that if we are going to have 2 battalions abroad, they should both be in the DRC - one in the N. Kivu Region and another in Orientale Province. DRC is in SADAC and should be our first priority. While furthermore MONUSCO pays for the costs of deployment. As a final point, the Defence Reveiw calls for the establishment of a FOB in the region, and having two BN's deployed will give us an excuse to build rudimentary infrastructure and get the UN to pay for it. PS: Name the gun, win a prize!

patches689: Yep, UNAMID in Darfur, Sudan proper. Some facts: 1) UNAMID is a joint UN/AU mission. Accordingly, we get re-imbursed by the UN for most of our costs; we finance it up-front and the UN re-imburses at the end of the year, on condition contributing countries meet their 95% availability of all equipment and troops. 2) Major problem is that the AU allowed Bashir to have a say in the force composition. For example, only a certain number of helis allowed; which means no Oryx. 3) The Sudanese sometimes block supplies when the whim takes them. About this ambush: 1) Yet again, the UN convoys traverse well-known pre-determined routes, making them extremely vulnerable to ambush; 2) The Rwandese contingent, 25km away, did not or could not come to the rescue, as they are not equipped to fight at night. RIP to the warrior and yes, with all these constraints and ridiculous rules of engagement, it's absolutely correct that we're pulling out. Pity about the Darfuri civilians. |

rugged7: .....But where then do we draw the limit? It makes sense, that there is a unilateral ban on gore images so as we don't abuse it. Photos of dead Nigerian(African) soldiers would soon then be shared by some hater, when this happens there would be no moral justification to ask them to quit or call in the Mods to ban them. |
