jakeporeshenko: Nice, JMSTC at Ojo is an advanced training center. Lessons learned from operations in the N.E, Niger-Delta and Gulf of Guniea makes for a compelling training manual. "However this our new Cammo though?". |

Henry240: I disagree, South Africa has the second longest coastline in Africa(ex Madagascar), and currently we are Patrolling our EEZ with 2-3 vessels constantly at sea....and pretty successfully if i have to say! Project Biro was never envisioned to complement our Valours in patrolling our waters but rather to replace them, as our Valours are combatants and not OPVs. Nigeria obviously has much more pirate invested waters than SA, thus i would say having between 5-6 OPVs/Vessels patrolling your coastline would be adequate. |

Off Topic: Russia's answer to ISIL/ISIS technicals: UAZ Patriot Pickup Equipped with Kord 12.7 mm heavy machine guns and AGS-17 grenade launchers. The gas-powered vehicles feature upgraded all-terrain capabilities, a one ton carrying capacity, and armor protection. They also feature power plugs for night vision, special tents for protection against shrapnel, and storage for ammunition. The firepower in the back of the vehicles will enable their operators to suppress enemy fire in a radius of up to 2 km. The weapons can be mounted aboard a rotary turret, allowing the user to instantaneously change his arc of fire .

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 2:32am On Oct 17, 2016 |
jakeporeshenko:Actually its just a Puma that looks like a Puma, the nose included!! The Oryx is simply a (substantially)upgrade Puma thus it looks almost identical from a far. if the PIC was taken closer, you would see that the Oryx has different air-in -takes, and overall is a bit shorter......also a few other minor differences like the wheel arches ext ext 1 Like |

Henry240: As I said before, big numbers need bigger budgets. When you buy something you need to have a proper plan to keep it running otherwise you'll have another Aradu scenario. You don't need large numbers of vessels for pirates to know you exist. A single OPV launches a helicopter for a 400km patrol radius, two give you 800km and so forth. With just 5 OPVs you could cover the whole Gulf. 1 Like |

i will love it if the NN considers this German frigate (Brandenburg-class frigate). Constructed by the same guys that made the Aradu. about 4700+ fully ladened, heavilly armed and tough looking. four units was made for the German navy. The all-steel ship has stealth features, extra space for task group personnel and fin stabilisers. It is designed to carry two AgustaWestland Sea Lynx mk88 helicopters and a rigid inflatable boat for boarding operations. The first ship, Brandenburg (F215), was built by Blohm + Voss and commissioned in October 1994... we should not be afraid of buying big ships 4 Likes

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by ActivateKruger: 9:02am On Oct 17, 2016 |
Patchesagain: Maybe not, just use 2 for training, keep 3 on reserve and 5 on patrol. The only down side would be the operational costs of being at sea constantly. No one can actually afford 15 OPVs unless you're Egypt who's more interested in the military than its crumbling infrastructure. |

Tinfoil:thats an issue i have even read on blogs written by british soldiers who have trained with Kenyans soldiers talk about,US marines choose to use commercially available handheld radios to enable a platoon to coordinate effectively in afganistan,even during the recently failed attack by alshabaab on an ethiopia outpost clearly showed how alshabaab know how vital constant communication is when coordinating attacks after five hand held radios were captured from dead alshabaab in the british army platoon its easily to spot three tactical radio operators,thus having better synergy within and between different platoons,head-quarter and air support.even during the recent el adde out post overrun,with how poorly equipped our forces are when it came to comms. must have played a role in failures that lead to the out post being overrun |

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 11:50am On Oct 17, 2016 |
patches689: 1.5 billion a ship, that's expensive. I have a feeling we would look at for a Sigma Frigate, I don't think we would go Chinese with a Frigate. My opinion though. However 4 FACs should be in the cards to replace our Combattante class which are being converted to OPVs. |

jakeporeshenko: Hopefully it turns out to be a Naval helo, but i doubt it though. It's not in naval colours. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 12:03pm On Oct 17, 2016 |
jln115: You do know OP Copper hasn't yet arrested an pirates?..... They just aren't there to begin with. Unlike the Nigerian navy which has to deal with challenging security problems in Nigeria, Benin and Sao-Tome & Principe. The Nigerian navy requires a minimum of 6 Navy ships at sea from each of the naval commands. We also need ships in Benin to cover up to Togo and maybe Ghana. There's also Sao-Tome. 9 ships have to be at sea at any given time, while replacements at the docks, so we are talking a minimum 18 ships. When we say ships in Nigeria, we refer to vessels which are 45 - 50 meters and above. |

jakeporeshenko: Cammo proliferation in the SBS unit has to be checked. It's not proper to for the SBS to have a new uniform every other year. The Black uniform, and the normal infantry desert cammo and woodland cammo is enough. The black is my favourite, I was livid and estatic when i saw SBS guys in their black, it was perfect.
