africaken254: Chinese submarines have mostly been confined to their bases or to the vicinity of their bases, their submarines had issues which made long distance patrol unfeasible. the Chinese submarine which came to Indian ocean was accompanied by a submarine support ship, whatever excuse they gave for the mission it does not matter, but interestingly the important goal was to operationally test their nuclear submarines capabilities/suitability for long distance patrol plus draw up experience for long distance mission. another mission was to gauge the response of the Indians when the nuclear sub anchored in a naval base in sri Lanka. personally i don't support American policies, but American naval power is playing a stabilizing role in south china sea, if not for them china would have rough shod all the neighboring countries, which it nevertheless does now and then ![]() ![]() ![]() 3 Likes |

If you count these countries and make assessment.All big names.Even the Soviet Union at it's peak cannot rough shod all neighbors.

jakeporeshenko: Wow!!! This is the very first time i'm seeing a Nigerian soldier carrying a Carbine with a mixed colour code. Our rifles are usually as they are, pretty much standard colour coating. I always get jealous when i see Russian FSB in particular with their tricked out AK-105s. The Americans, Poles, Germans and French are also guilty of camouflaging rifles. Beautiful rifle. |

jakeporeshenko: This is the first time i'm spotting one. I never knew we have them, up until now. Beautiful. What i'm searching for next, sounds trivial, however it's the half mask, balaclava. The Australians in Afghanistan wear them a lot. I also saw a South-African commando in wearing one in the DRC. I've not yet spotted that balaclava in Nigerian military service.

africaken254:I doubt Nigeria has a flutter flight test aircraft or an excitation system to support WI(Weapons integration). So new weapons stores like I said are of systems previously integrated on the aircraft type to reduce risks. On the Southern tip of Africa the 68mm SNEB rockets were found to be less effective compared to 70mm fin folding Belgian rockets. |

FG imports Russian war helicopters, UAVs from Dubai The Federal Government is making a comprehensive arrangement to respond to the attacks on oil installations in the Niger Delta region through the importation of sophisticated military hardware. A top military source said on Saturday that the Defence authorities had completed arrangements to bring in latest Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to boost the planned military operation in the oil-rich region. It was gathered that the Federal Government has ordered for the Yahbon/20UAVs from Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. It was further learnt that the Yahbon/20UAVs were being procured to replace the Chinese CH-3A UAV in the arsenal of the military. It was stated that the military would rely heavily on the Yahbon/20 UAV which carries four missiles on its wings for the success of the planned operation. Investigation revealed that some of the new UAVs are billed to arrive the country November, 2016 while the others are expected next year. It was further learnt that the Federal Government is also purchasing MI35M helicopters from Russia to prepare the Nigerian Air Force to monitor and combat those behind the destruction of oil and gas installations in the Niger Delta. The MI35M is the latest and more sophisticated version of the MI35 which is one of the attack helicopters of the NAF. The source said that three of the MI35M attack helicopters are expected to come into the country from Russia in November. It was learnt that the Defence authorities made an arrangement with the Russians to purchase 15 of the modern attack helicopters for the planned aerial operation in the South-South. It was gathered that the Russians had also trained 33 personnel of the Nigerian Air Force on how to fly and handle the ‘all-weather helicopters’ which could operate night and day. It was learnt that those who went for the training in Russia arrived in the country three weeks ago. It was also learnt that the acceptance flight for the helicopters was carried out late July. The source said, “The Federal Government is not sleeping over the attacks on oil installations in the Niger Delta. Comprehensive steps are being taken on this disturbing development. “The government is importing the Yahbon/20 UAV from Dubai. The unique thing about this drone is that it carries four missiles on its wings and it is quite effective. Very soon, Nigerians would see the difference. “The latest drone will replace the Chinese CH-3A UAV which was found to be problematic in some ways. Apart from that, the military is also acquiring MI35M from the Russians. This is the latest version of the MI35 being used by the NAF. “The difference is that this particular one is more sophisticated, it is all-weather and it has night capability which means that it can operate both day and night. “Three of them will arrive the country in November this year; the plan is to bring the remaining 12 over the years. “Some of the personnel of the NAF who went for the training on the use of the aircraft returned to the country three weeks ago. Also, the acceptance flight was done three weeks ago.” When our correspondent contacted the Acting Director, Defence Information, Brig. Gen. Rabe Abubakar, for his comment on the story, he said that he did not have any information on the purchase of the military hardware. “I don’t have that information,” he said. Also, the Director of Information and Public Relations of the Nigerian Air Force, Group. Capt. Ayodeje Famuyiwa, said that while there were plans to acquire new platforms in the Air Force, he did not have any such detail. The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, said while commissioning the third weaponised Alpha Jet of the NAF at the 99 Air Combat Training Group, Kainji, Niger State, on Friday, that the planned operation in the Niger Delta would require additional platforms. He said efforts were being made to put together what was required for the planned operation, adding that the exercise would require the acquisition of additional platforms which was at the final stage of planning “The exercise I am talking about will require additional platforms. They are now in the planning stage, very soon we will conclude that plan,” he said. http://punchng.com/pipeline-attacks-fg-imports-russian-war-helicopters-uavs-dubai/ http://www.russianhelicopters.aero/en/press/publications/6138.html

rugged7: Brilliant! I was beginning to wonder if I was more concerned about the incessant oil pipeline destruction than this administration. It appears the government has been planning consciously and "silently" behind the scene. I can't wait for this operation to start as we must deal decisively with this threat. 1 Like |

rugged7: When did the Yahbon Flash 20 become an armed. I'm reading for the first time that the Yahbon, the Flash 20 in particular has an armed variant. It's a decent long endurance MALE UAV, both those wings aren't designed for wing-loading, but for gliding and long endurance patrols.

tdayof: We'll need to ask Punchng.com how an unarmed glider UAV is going to replace an armed CH-3A UCAV. I'm also reading for the first time that the Yahbon20 has 4 hardpoints, how Punchng came up with this story beats me. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 10:58am On Aug 21, 2016 |
tdayof: I also find the criticism of the CH-3A UCAV by Punchng.com quite funny. How Punchng came by this conclusion without going through the specifications of the UCAV is bewildering. |
