Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 6:40pm On Oct 01, 2016 |
Perfectdanny: Infantry soldiers don't use side arms, however all our Special Forces carry a Glock 9mm pistol. For P.D.W we use the FN P90 and UZI PRO (DSS), while military use the Mini-Beryl although in very limited numbers. Special forces use CTAR-21 (Navy and Airforce), while a joint Army, Navy, Air Force unit (AFSF) use the WZ Beryl 2004. 1 Like |

Perfectdanny: They(Regular Infantry) don't use side-arms or PDW because they are not a requirement. At squad level the guys have access to a machine gun and an AGL. They also get Infantry support from a 12.7mm mounted on a gun-truck or an MRAP. The blokes still get support from 30mms, Main Battle Tanks, 90mm Tank destroyers and Attack Helicopters. So as you can see, they are well covered. However for Special Forces units, they mostly work independently and in mostly Close Quarters, in many cases without any support whatsoever. These units require a secondary side arm(Pistol) or a PDW like a P-90 so that if the primary weapon fails they can still defend themselves while they plan an escape route. DSS are an Intelligence outfit and a Close Body protection unit for VVIPs. Hence the requirement of a PDW. |

Now any police from lowest to most senior rank rank can walk to any hospital he choses to with his entire family, http://www.nation.co.ke/news/Police-officers-finally-get-enhanced-medical-cover/1056-3401852-12e0qjo/index.html Police and prison officers, their spouses and children will receive free health care after the government procured a medical insurance for them. The comprehensive cover will be provided by AAR as the lead insurer and four other companies. AON is the administrator of the new scheme. The cover became effective Saturday and officers are required to register with AAR to enjoy the benefits. The lowest ranked officer, a constable, is insured at Sh150,000 for outpatient and Sh1.5 million for inpatient every year. On the other hand the highest ranked officer is insured at Sh500,000 for outpatient and Sh5 million for inpatient. The new scheme will cover a 107,000-strong workforce from the National Police Service and the Kenya Prisons Service....... ... An official conversant with the new cover described it as “superior”, compared to the old one administered by National Hospital Insurance Fund. Unlike the old one, officers will be free to seek treatment from any hospital within the country including top private hospital. Officers from the rank of Constable to Senior Assistant Inspector-General, in the old cover, were limited to visiting selected health facilities, with a bias to government-owned ones. BETTER DEAL Only high ranking officers were allowed to access top hospitals but were, however, restricted to Sh800,000 cover for inpatient treatment. The scheme is in addition to the Sh1.7 billion life insurance cover that was unveiled two years ago. The deal is a big relief to police because a majority of them could not afford decent medical care. It comes seven years late because it was envisioned in the Ransley report, the police reforms blueprint that was adopted by the government in 2009. ----- 1$ = 100 ksh .. 2 Likes |

Patchesagain:KDF too has its own internal insuarance scheme, but from 2015, they outsourced to a Kenyan based insuarer. Outsourcing to a Ptivately managed company has its advantages, in that the govt pays a fixed negotiated and calculated amout on behalf of all the troops, while each individual officer still contributes the same fixture..... so the amount of cover that the government pays cannever increase since the burden of covering the actual cost is passed down to the insuarer, so if only 2k soldier seek medical then the insuarer profits from the fixed amount paid by govt, but if 200k seek treatement then the insurer will foot aditional bill....... Compared to an internal insuarance scheme, If there is a huge number that seek treatment that costs more than the cumulative total that they have contributed, the same institution still has to foot the bill.... and these kinds of inauarance are prone to inefficiencies and bearocracy, (atleast in our country), private insuarances have a standard, they are efficient and faster in dealing with a patient... This would have taken years to pay if it was KDF/govt itself compensating/covering the life insuarence scheme., it would have taken years b4 the families of fallen heros recieved compensation... Posted Sunday, May 29 2016 at 14:53 Reports that the families of Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) troops killed by Al Shabaab terrorists in El-Adde. Somalia, in January will receive Sh341 million as compensation is a welcome development. The financial compensation will go a long way in helping heal the families of our fallen soldiers who died gallantly while defending their countrymen. Kenya has about 4,000 troops in the 22,000-strong African Union force that is battling Al-Shabaab in Somalia. Jubilee Insurance, which is the main cover provider for KDF personnel, should also be commended for the timely pay-out. By promptly releasing the compensation, the firm has also helped build the industry’s name in a country where the number of insured is still very low in comparison to the total population. It is our view that such compensation should be sustained so as to enable the relatives of our troops move on comfortably without financial hurdles, given that most of these soldiers are normally the main providers of material sustenance to their kin. The insurance company’s personal accident policy covers KDF soldiers for accidental death or disablement.http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Opinion-and-Analysis/Timely-compensation-for-KDF-heroes-welcome/539548-3223920-10g111g/index.html 1 Like |

Not like those recreated scenes done in hollywood....they dont only show you the good parts where they are kicking ass , even the ugly side is shown..You feel like you were right there with them, they show you everything, I couldnt believe they lost a mechanic just like that, I thought he was gonna make it....... Anyway, they should not filter the explicit language (or atleast the should have two versions of the episodes)..... Fu€K and $hit and matherfucker is like normal when taking fire, and cencering is like removing the chorus to a song |

What if during combat i get seperated and my primary weapon jams (which of course is perfectly possible) what then do i use? Or you think this event wouldn't be possible. You can view my profile and see for yourself a thread i created about sidearms. |

Perfectdanny:Lol!! Everybody is an expert on the internet. What are you trying to hit in an open battlefield with a 9mm glock? Proper gear to carry more 556 or 762 is far far better than any useless 9mm for a regular infantry |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by andrewza: 7:18am On Oct 02, 2016 |
Perfectdanny:What must I google. The fact that a PDW would be useless for a Nigerian Infantry solder fighting long range battles with a enemy armed with rifles. That pistols while nice and al would not change the tide of a battle. Or that armies don't issue infantryman PDW but rather use carbines and assault rifles. Only a few people are issued with PDW where there small size does not get in the way of them doing there job but they not front line infantry men. I mean giving the nature of the war in Nigeria it would make more sense for Nigerian solders to use a Battle riffle like the FN Fal. They seem to be heavly motorised or very stationary and fighting a enemy that likes to stay far from them. Give a Nigerian infantry men a P90 and they will look cool for all the pics expect for the ones where they dead because they where out ranged by a AK47. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by andrewza: 7:35am On Oct 02, 2016 |
Perfectdanny: You think a pistol with 50m effect range will save you? Sure having a pistol is nice but once it drawn you going to be running and hiding use it as a last resort. Immediate action drill. As long as you maintain your rifle it will be fixed after a quick drill. Your jam was either a faulty round, bad magazine spring or your exactor did clear the shell before the weapon could load the next round. A immediate action drill will fix any issue and typically a bad spring on a magazine will start to feed better once it has less rounds in it. Bad ammo is a thing but if every round is that bad then every round in your unit is that bad and you all dead and if your rifle did not clear the shell again you have done it for your self. 3 Likes |
