Henry240:the CH-3A is limited by line of sight and can only land and takeoff from a tarmac Runway. also you see a 3,000 vehicle but could be loaded with weapons,it could be a SVBIED,the individual inside the vehicle could be most wanted terrorist e.t.c .if you see a convoy of boko haram would you dare swoop low,know well there is a high possibility of being shot down with anti- aircraft guns !its well documented that nigeria air force has used belouga cluster bomb,whats the reason ! 2 Likes |

Centrifude: Anyway, for reference purposes, this is Turkey, a country which has over 240 F-16 Block 52+, 54 upgraded F-4 phantoms, can you please explain despite been able to deliver PGMs, Southern Turkey looks like Aleepo in Syria.

africaken254: What are you even saying? The CH-3As are based at the Tactical Air Command in Markurdi (Central Nigeria), from where they conduct ISTAR operations all over the North-East hundreds of Kilometers away. The CH-3A, Gulma and Yahbon Flash 20 are all BVLOS operated. Where does the Reaper land and take off from...... The sea? The Nigerian Air Force has released over 30 combat videos from operations in the N.E, have you even watched any at all? 1 Like |

Henry240:there is a difference between a UAV/UCAV operated within line of sight and those beyond line of sight ,CH-3A can only operate within line of sight or it will loose its signal with ground station antenna due to the curvature of the earth. but a drone like predator which can operate beyond line of sight ,due to it capability to bounce signal from orbiting satellites .thus maintaining a connection between the drone and ground control station and increasing its range 2 Likes |

Henry240: If you have very poor training and doctrine the weapons you have become useless. But I would expect Nigeria to do better than the Turks. Plus posting random urban pictures out of context doesn't mean anything, because we've all seen that least 80% of the engagements with Boko-haram happened in open and rural areas where it would've been much easier to deliver precision munitions. 1 Like |

Centrifude: Again you clearly misinterpreted my original post on this matter. The Turks are not poorly trained, they have a rich modern military history, I believe you've heard of the battle of "Gilapoli". let me try to rephrase Turkey has 240 F-16 Block 52+ fighter jets in service. They have the PGMs, I'm asking you why does Southern-Turkey despite all the PGMs look like Aleppo. You claimed PGMs are the "all and be all"? Are you serious ![]() The P in PGM means Precision, you use PGM in urban areas so you can reduce civilian casualties and increase the probability of hitting the enemy, you don't use PGMs in wide open spaces when you can simply obliterate the enemy to submission with an array of cost effective rockets and unguided bombs. 1 Like |

Henry240: Dude look main point from the start is that if a target is worth getting Hit with a $25,000 Bomb then it should be done, even if it's a man travelling in a $3,000 car. The Video @africaken254 posted was a single car getting blown up with a PGM, I see nothing wrong with him using that Kenya could do that too.. It may look inefficient but fact is who ever was in that car was planning on doing damage worth more than $25,000. If you're facing a war at home you can't afford to be cheap, you make sure your citizens have what they need to survive, then the rest of the money goes to the war effort. 2 Likes |

patches689: The problem is the 100 round drum. Causes stoppages. That's why the Singapore army runs it with mags. The original R-4 50 round mag was meant for the planned heavy barrel R-4 that was never adopted. We didn't have that many problems with the 50 rounders as long as you download them to 40-45. They might just be getting old now. Mags don't last forever. The 35 round mag also had to be downloaded to 30 for it to function properly. Personally, i don't like the 5.56 saw concept and you can see the countries involved in Afghanistan/Iraq now having buyer's regret. If your squad can't handle the weight, you have a fitness problem not a caliber one. Mujahideen hump 7.62 PKM over mountain ranges all day long on a loaf of flatbread. Here's a pick of the r4 heavy as well as the new denel 20mm belt fed. 4 Likes

National Defence College set to induct of
military officers from Brazil, Turkey, Germany,
India in Sept.
The National Defence College (NDC) says it
will, for the first time in its history, admit
foreign participants from Brazil, Turkey,
Germany and India, for the college’s next
academic programme to be inaugurated on
Sept. 15, 2016.
The college secretary, Air Vice Marshal Uko
Ebong disclosed this on Friday in Abuja while
addressing a news conference on the
forthcoming graduation of institution’s course
24 participants.
According to AVM Ebong, admitting foreign
participants from these countries would
improve the institution’s strategic partnership
with the armed forces countries around the
world.
He added that the interest shown in the
college’s academic programme was a
testimony to the excellence that the college
had attained over the years.
His words, ``The National Defence College
provides the highest level of formal military
education intended to inculcate a sense of
advance military professionalism and
involvement in the decision making process.
“I am happy to state here that the next course
of the NDC will be having participants from
Turkey, Germany, India, Brazil and other allied
African countries and it is expected to be
inaugurated on Sept. 15, 2016.
“It is my earnest desire to continue to
promote the college as the centre of
excellence for developing potential strategic
leaders in Africa and globally’.’
Ebong noted that the college would in the
nearest future open its doors to participants
from the private sector as part of efforts to
increase public awareness on the issue of
national security.
He said the college’s proposal to admit
participants from the private sector was also
borne out of the need to increase the
understanding of civilians on defence and
security issues.
Ebong said the college had in the past years
of its existence made deliberate efforts to
improve on the content and quality of its
programmes which had attracted interests
within and outside Africa.
He said alumni of the college had
distinguished themselves in different positions
of responsibility given them both at strategic
and command levels.
The secretary of the college said some
aspects of the institution’s curriculum had
been reviewed while infrastructure and other
facilities at the college had been upgraded in
line with its growing status.
On the course 24 graduation, Ebong said 130
participants comprising officers from the
Armed Forces, Nigeria Police, Nigeria Security
and Civil Defence Corps and the Department
of State Service participated in the course.
According to him, other participants of the
course 24 include officers from the Federal
Road Safety Corps, Nigerian Immigration
Service, Ministry of Defence and allied
countries of Ghana, Sierra-Leone, Benin and
Zambia.
Ebong said the overall performance of
participants was adjudged above average
while their general conduct was satisfactory.
He said the highpoint of the graduation
ceremony was the presentation of certificates
to participants by President Muhammadu
Buhari on August 5.
Ebong added that the Emir of Kano, Sanusi
Lamido would deliver the graduation lecture
on August 3 on the theme `Deregulation of the
downstream oil sector and Nigeria’s
economic development: an appraisal’.
It will be recalled that the graduating NDC
course 24 was inaugurated in September
2015. |

U.S. contractors employ four-wheeled, remotely-driven vehicles to detour would-be insurgents and keep soldiers in the Horn of Africa out of harm's way. The MDARS UGV is a valuable tool in keeping the perimeter intact.

celeron40: You havent done much shooting have you? If you are guessing the distance and shooting down-hill at a moving target, its pretty damn tough Also, the bullets were landing at the same time you hear the shot. Which means he was close. I bet he had zeroed for a much longer range 2 Likes |

61mech: Interesting. Well, my thoughts on weight were based on the age old adage that a soldier can only hump like 40-60kg, so you save weight on your SAW and thus can carry more of something else. That 20mm going to see service? That plus the new low-cost turret from Denel could serve as major organic fire-support for Moto Inf if mounted on a Casspir or Nyala. 1 Like |
