Henry24o: Angola was also very muddy (pic 1). Wasnt a problem for us... thats why you make sure deployed forces have recovery vehicles, so when they get bogged down you can get them out quickly (pic 2) Also, having drivers who know what they are doing helps.... that Reva dug its own hole there

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the African battle-space with Nigerian Air Force as a reference. It came as a particularly gratifying news when the Nigerian CAS announced that 5 units of Nigeria's locally built Gulma drone have been operationalised with assistance from UAVISION of portugal. with the news, i've decided to highlight the different types of UAVs used by the Nigerian Air Force. Gulma UAV (Nigeria) Aerostar UAV (Israel) Yahbon Flash 20 UAV (UAE) CH-3A UAV (China) |

Aerostar UAV, 3 units, atleast 1 unit is operational. The Aerostar features a robust airframe, an automatic identification system, a ship identification system, VHF radios, a hands-on throttle and stick control system, and vertical stabilisers. It is also equipped with a UMAS digital flight control system, directional antennae and a multi- channel data link system built by Commtact. An electro-optic camera is equipped in the middle of the fuselage to capture battlefield imagery. The remote payload control system (RPCS) unit receives commands and controls the aircraft throughout its operation. Sensors The Aerostar is fitted with electro-optic (EO) and infra-red sensors. The EO sensor converts light rays into electronic signals to capture real time imagery. Radars The UAV is further equipped with a synthetic aperture radar (SAR), signal intelligence (SIGINT) and communication intelligence (COMINT). Engines The Aerostar is powered by a single Zanzottera 498i two- stroke boxer engine which can produce 28kW of output power. The engine is equipped with an electronic fuel injection to correct altitude and temperature fluctuations thereby allowing it to run at maximum power for long durations. Ground control station (GCS) The ground control station is also designed and manufactured by Aeronautics Defence Systems.

Yahbon Flash 20 UAV, at least 5 units on order. Yabhon Flash-20 is a Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAV, desinged and manufactured by ADCOM Systems for strategic missions including: • Near real time (NRT) combat assessment • Battle damage assessment (BDA) • Intelligence preparation of the battlefield • Special operations, reconnaissance operations and humanitarian aid • Border surveillance and communications relay.

Henry24o: I think developing a UCAV with computer trajectory calculation gun pod is wellcomed in COIN |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Henry24o: 10:45am On Jul 17, 2016 |
chinese8107: Which company/country is doing that? Doesn't it make the UCAV more susceptible to ground fire? Nigeria i think is working on a larger UAV, and the Air Force plans to arm it with rockets and missiles. The Air Force is also working on transforming soon to be de-commissioned trainers to UAVs. 2 Likes |

Henry24o: a 23-30mm gun or AGL is ok becasue terrorists usually have under 23mm gun |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Henry24o: 11:09am On Jul 17, 2016 |
chinese8107: What i'm saying is, a gun on a UCAV makes it vulnerable to ground fire. Terrorists can easily shot it down, as it has to come in close to engage targets. |

Henry24o: Turkey was just a false flag psyop! The coup plotters never used social media to reveal Erdogans many misdeeds eg training and funding ISIS and dabbling in Saudi/Israeli shenanigans in Syria. Also he called out Turks into the streets to support him giving him the illusion of popularity. Having looked at as many Nice 'ATTACK' pics and vids as I could find I'm convinced this was also a psyop,though a bloodless one. I've seen victims run over by trucks,its a mess of blood and body parts. You guys believe those nice clean street pix of body bags are the same location a 20 ton truck ran over 80+ people?? HELL NO! |
