Training, I don't think there is any navy in Sub-Saharan Africa that conducts more large scale training exercises than the Nigerian navy. The Navy's exercise are usually massive.

In terms of large scale exercises, the Nigerian navy conducts 6 or 7 large exercises each year.

We usually start the year with Exercise Prosperity, Followed by Exercise Obangame, Exercise Nemo, Exercise Opia Toha follows after Nemo, then Exercise Eagle Eye and then we close with Exercise Treasure Guard.


1 large scale exercise every 2 months.

From Rongai I know of only catalyst... And there is another one I forgot its name, think it was santon or something....
Anyway, why would he be interested? What's so special and unique about it? I know the chasis is imported and assembled locally for almost all public transport trucks and buses,but the body and seats are manufactured locally, so couldn't he buy his own

DaV8King:


Its a great tempo to keep to, hope NAF and AHQ are watching and learning. One one hand, can NN keep the tempo up as more capital ships eventually join the fleet, remembering how recurrent expenditure is already a large budget component? On the other, isnt it high time DHQ began organizing more large-scale tri-service exercises?

OFF-TOPIC


Very important post. Even the Russians use light skin pick-up trucks in combat. This goes to show that no military on earth can fully deploy only in armoured vehicles. It is simply not possible.

"The Defense Ministry confirmed that it has deployed a group of UAZ Patriot pickups equipped with Kord 12.7 mm heavy machine guns and AGS-17 grenade launchers to the war-torn country.

The first Russian UAZ Patriot light utility vehicles were
spotted in Syria in February 2016. The new
vehicles are used for urban combat, attack and pursue the
enemy in the desert, cover humanitarian convoys, which are regularly shelled, on the roads of Syria, and deliver
ammunition to friendly checkpoints.




N/B. Pick-up trucks in Nigerian army service are classified as type B vehicles.

Can tell me where exactly are Nigeria 6 Gazelle Helicopters. They seem to just vanish into the air. All NAF aerial bombing in the NE and SS are undertaken by NAF MI-35 and to some extent Augusta helicopter

Causation =/= correlation

Apart from the Marines at Tartus, and Aerospace self defense units at Khmeimim air-base the rest of combat units on the ground are Spetznas from GRU and SVR RF.

So yes, shock-horror, unconventional forces use unconventional vehicles.

Stop making excuses, and stop commenting on things you arent up to speed on.

Most of the time, you drop your brain somewhere, and drag your stupidity over to this thread to comment. The link clearly states what they are doing there, in combat.


I implore you to carry your brains along, anytime you feel like commenting here.

On the contrary I don't think a day will pass without me viewing this thread. Just that you guys are awesome and I can't contribute anything to my Superiors.

Back to my question, the Gazelles were armed and took part in series of combact in 2014. We saw a lot of them flying over Yola, but of recent their distinctive shape and sound have disappeared. So I was thinking probably they are undergoing certain upgrades somewhere.
