MikeCZA: Zimbabwean used to operate these in the 90s. I remember them being kitted more like the second picture than the Rhodesian version. Not sure what they have now.

nganduh:I'm not certain as to what they operate now too. But they probably have a vehicle similar to the Zambians. Advantages(RPVs) are that they can be air lifted by helicopters or parachuted into the field along with their personnel from fixed wing aircraft. |

MikeCZA: I was specifically asking about the ATV in particular and SPVs in general. ATVs, same vehicle as this or the photo i earlier posted are virtually non-existent in combat. My question is why? Let me correct an error, parachuting is mostly carried out by N.A Airborne units. We currently have full fledged Airborne units different from elite Nigerian units. It is rappelling/Quick insertion by helos that is mostly now carried out by Nigerian elite units. I do agree that it is only now that full spectrum S.F units are appreciated by militaries across the continent. Which brings me to another question, are the S.F units we see across Africa actually S.F units in the mould of the SAS, Delta, SEAL, Spestnaz Alpha or are the highly mobile units in the mould of the Australian 2 Commando? |

tdayof: 1. How is the RD-93 Vintage? The MIG-35 a 4++ generation fighter uses two RD-93 engines, the J-31 a 5th generation fighter also use 2 RD-93 engines, both engines produce 196KN of thrust. The same engine used by the JF-17, each single engine produces 98kN of thrust. Gripen C engine produce 80.5KN of thrust. 2. You have any source which points to the JF-17 radar been a joke? A proper reliable source made by actual experts? Do you even know what mechanical radars are? So by your logic, the Captor radar of the Eurofighter Typoon which is a mechanically steered radar is obsolete? 3. All programming languages are prone to hacks. The F-35 Lightening II, currently the world's most advanced fighter jet is coded in C++ programming. 4. The JF-17 thunder doesn't lack weapons. It is well covered in Air-to-Air, Air-to-Ground and Air-to-Sea, and can incorporate a wide plethora of munitions from many countries across the world. Can you provide evidence that Chinese and Pakistani weapons are less reliable that western weapons? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 10:51pm On Jun 19, 2016 |
nganduh: Wrong wording by mean. I meant the J-10s Combat Radius, not range. It's combat radius is 550KM. It's ferrying range is 825km. 1650 / 2. |

Henry240:One needs to look at the battle space our forces operate in SF vehicles are stripped off armour and other unnecessary parts to save space and make the vehicle lighter. Where do we fight? long distances from home? supply bases? The point I was trying to make was that certain capabilities are only now starting to be introduced. In SA there's regular battalion and reserve air assault battalions trained to provide the capability. While the paratroopers, SF and other elite can also provide the capability. Yes, most of them are actual SF units. Skills are mostly obtained via PMCs. It has become a norm to see our elite forces being trained or accompanied by foreigners in ops. Even though they might not be highly skilled or trained due to lack of resources as the American or European units you mention they can sure pass the selection of those units. And excel in any course provided. One of the saddest event was Nigerian stopping the PMCs from operating with/helping your armed forces. One would ask: Did they spend enough time in Nigeria groom trainers/instructors. Within which the skills which Nigeria seeked from them(PMCs) can be maintained? Or we are more likely to see those guys used as a nucleus of another unit and being trained by others before they too receive the boot. (Cycle) SF capability similar to any core capabilities of a military such as armour, fighter aircraft etc it isn't just about having operators, pilots etc. But having a support structure in place. Trend analysts, doctors, technology(industry, advisers etc), training capability etc.

5 AWESOMELY INSANE ways to defeat a Tank. First of all why would anybody want to defeat a Tank? Because its suicidal to even attempt such daring task. This article does not aim to help terrorist group in their deadly activities but to stimulate the minds of curious CombatHeart Blog readers. Any of this method listed here should work in an event whereby the target tank is isolated and has detached itself from the main force. However, ALL tank force are usually accompanied by a variety of specialize troops like Infantry, Armored forces (IFVs and APCs), assorted aircraft, artillery, drones. A lthough it doesn't really take high-tech equipment to stop a single tank. A direct attack will never defeat ANY tank, unless you get some serious military hardware. NO 1) TANK TRAP The use of tank traps has been in existence for decades and has proved to be effective in numerous occasions. There is no known counter-measures for tank traps. A modern day camouflaged tank pit still works. A few meters drop into a muddy hole wouldn't destroy a modern tank but it could quite possibly trap it, rendering it pretty much helpless without the aid of recovery vehicles or in military parlance 'A Mission Kill'. For optimum effect, do it where it's least expected: in the middle of the road, for example. The bigger and deeper, the better. STEP 1) Dig a really deep rectangular or circular hole of about 10 feet deep of about 30 feet long and 15 feet wide (taking into account the M1A1 Abram dimensions which is Hull length: 26.02 ft (7.93 m) and 12 ft (3.66 m) ). Except if an MBT learns how to fly quickly then it wont be able to come out of it. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE >>> http://www.combatheart.com/2016/06/5-insane-ways-to-defeat-main-battle.html

Henry240:Because Australlia can easily get weapons from the WEST. We have not really too good military relation with countries. I am not saying the JF-17 is an obsolete aircraft tho and what i posted there wasn't typed by me, i found it and decided to share. Based on the radar i think i will be able to give a lot as an aerospace Engineering student. what? Planar array?? What happened to PESA or AESA? and again mechanically steered beam? what happened to electronically steered beam? which beans it will be lacks an agile Beam Radar and again Operating in a spread frequency than shifting phase. China could have offer an AESA radar. even J-10b operates on AESA jumping PESA. you can't track enough target on a planar array while launching missiles simultaneously with such radar. The JF-17 is really a good fighter for Nigeria my only point was we can as well start developing military hardware by our self. Coding an airborne radar isn't easy but it's what we can do. It takes more than specification to know how lethal an aircraft is. |

NIGERIAN AIR FORCE ALPHA JET FOILS PLAN TO AMBUSH SURFACE FORCES, KILLS 15 BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS The Air Component of OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE has foiled a plan by Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) to ambush own surface forces harboured at Doron Naira, north of Borno State. Earlier today 19 June 2016, a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) King Air A350i Beechcraft aircraft on Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission sighted a group of BHTs in 7 Hilux vehicles hiding under tress at a location along the axis of advance of own ground forces towards Kangarawa, north of Borno State. Following this discovery, an Alpha Jet was scrambled to attack the BHT location. The attack was successful as 15 members of the BHTs were killed and the whole vehicles knocked out. The casualty figure was confirmed by ground forces who subsequently consolidated on the gains of the air effort to pursue and inflict further casualty on the fleeing wounded members of the terrorist group. Troops also confirmed 2 gun trucks were among vehicles destroyed by the Alpha Jet as 2 x AK-47 rifles, 2 x RPGs and cache of assorted munitions were recovered. The latest victory against the BHTs brings to fore the important role of airpower in counterinsurgency operation. In furtherance of this role, the NAF has been relentless in its effort to shape the battlespace and provide favourable environment for own surface forces to operate. The recent deployment of additional platforms to increase the tempo of air operations at the commencement of OPERATION GAMA AIKI is aimed at fostering this objective. The foiled plan to ambush own surface forces by BHTs shows that the air efforts by the NAF has started to yield the desired results.

tdayof: No offence, but the person who you copied that stuff from is ignorant. The JF-17 is a damn good state-of-the-art aircraft. It isn't an F-16 and never intended to be an aircraft of that class. It's a 4th Gen aircraft designed to replace aircrafts such as legacy MIG-29s, F-7s, F-5s, F-4s et al. PESA and AESA are meant for higher end aircrafts. The JF-17 is not a high-end fighter, it's a light multi-role fighter in the class of the Gripen C/D, J-10A and LCA. The JF-17s radar is able to track 10 aircrafts at a time and engage 2 of the 10 tracked aircrafts at a time. The J-10B is a 4+ Gen aircraft. The JF-17 would be used primarily as a ground attack aircraft in NAF service and for that role it is good as any other in the market. My only issue with the JF-17 is, it's has a legacy design similar to the F/A-18 Hornet and F-16. Unlike the J-10, Gripen, Eurofighter, Rafale who use more mordern designs. 2 Likes |
