Flames08: ![]() Other ships from her days are still in active service, so i disagree. Aradu is just another example of rot and decay on multi levels. I sincerely doubt she would get a refit. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 7:13am On Oct 16, 2016 |
M14A1: Exactly, that's the problem with the Aradu, the low maintenance we saw with the Navy especially during the military days. I mean, the Aradu, Combatantte class ships and the landing ship all saw active action in Sierra-Leone and Liberia. What happened between that time to today. "Do we have to then always have to go back replacing things when they get broken?". After 25 years, the new Ships that are hypothetically going to be bought would then have to be replaced when they are in need of repairs? Why does it stop. She would eventually be replaced as the cost of a refit would not be feasible. 1 Like |

tdayof:Yeah rusty bucket M14A1:Aradu needs a goodbye kiss and a big torpedo to the side, other ships from her days are either decommissioned or in line. I reckon she would sit nicely at bottom of the sea, off the coast of Lagos, and make for an excellent artificial reef. |

Henry240:Its crazy, I've also noticed the age long trend of not officially decommissioning hulls and airframes most times, they simply sail and fly the sheiit out of the hulls and airframes then OUT OF SERVICE just like that. It's silly to keep running down and replacing, doesn't help anybody |

Henry240:i was reading comments from the latest new about american warship being targeted off the coast,one of the commentator said something that i believe the world this is the outlook of african states "the houthis need to understand america is not another african banana republic" the truth is we never spend on anything e.g health,infrastructure,education,agriculture,industrialization e.t.c but we steal from every of those sectors,we live like we are on a honey moon and don't want to compete with the rest of the world.our infrastructure is deplorable,health system is pure anarchy,education system is a laughing stock of the rest of the world e.t.c not that we spend a lot on our military which are themselves in a sad state.we eat a lot and do absolutely nothing,while the rest of the world is moving at a breakneck rate 2 Likes |

off topic:the same america navy USS Mason came under attack off the yemen coast with anti ship missiles,this is why i am repeating again.we need land based anti ship missiles launchers US officials say a new round of missiles targeting an American warship in the Red Sea has been fired from a region of Yemen controlled by Houthi fighters.read more http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/10/yemen-war-ship-faces-houthi-missiles-161016034018318.html |

M14A1: Whatever aged the Aradu would age other new frigates if purchased. The ship itself is not old, I mean we still have strike crafts commissioned in the 70s still in active service in the SAN. Before rushing into refitting or buying a frigate, your navy could better launch a formal inquiry on how a young ship like the Aradu got into this current state otherwise your navy could keep going in circles. 2 Likes |

MikeCZA:the few frigates,OPV,Oiler e.t.c just like what happened to iraq navy during Gulf war 1.will be totally eliminated thus not hindering an amphibious landing on your shores.now if you have land based anti-ship missiles,a barrage of those anti-ship missiles (even sub-sonic anti-ship missiles) would seriously threaten any ship anchored or sailing across and near your coast. even after an israeli warship was hit by a hezbollah anti-ship missile,israel was not able to track the launcher,because those launchers can easily hide among civilian traffic or sheltered among the sprawling urban dwelling near the coast 2 Likes |

Seened:pentagon was forced to release this video ,through freedom of information by intercept an online publication news organization.how the future threat will emanate from the growing mega cities,developing countries e.t.c According to a startling Pentagon video obtained by The Intercept, the future of global cities will be an amalgam of the settings of "Escape from New York" and "Robocop" — with dashes of the "Warriors" and "Divergent" thrown in. It will be a world of Robert Kaplan-esque urban hellscapes — brutal and anarchic supercities filled with gangs of youth-gone-wild, a restive underclass, criminal syndicates, and bands of malicious hackers.
