jakeporeshenko: Yes, this is the correct assesment. Executive Outcomes were renowned for bringing their own toys to the party. Since its the same group with a different name, I dont see why they would change their practices. How they got such toys on such short notice is the real question. |

We used these at the section level. Problem is that you need a dedicated (x-tra) rifleman for it. We tried running it with a rifle and it's not pleasant. When you run with it on your back it feels like Floyd Mayweather is punching you in the kidneys and if you have to dive for cover it comes flying off your back and into the back of your head. You really need to attach a grenadier to your squad/section for it or have it in a weapons platoon like the USMC. Alternatively you could let the section leader or 2IB run it, but they have a lot on their plate already when you are in contact. kikuyu1: 4 Likes |

Patchesagain: Its not only naval terminology. Remember the recent contretemps about LSVs vs RDVs vs Spec ops vehicles? The thread went round and round everyone getting more and more po'd off till finally all were screaming , crying and throwing things? All cause someone wouldn't or couldn't comprehend the obvious operational needs of each vehicle......IIRC at one stage we were lectured on the need for armouring your Hornet!! That wasn't a good period for this thread. 2 Likes |

patches689: I've read somewhere that the equipment was ordered by the military of whatever host country EO was operating in and shipped out to them. The end-user was supposed to be the host country, but of course it was EO paying for the goods and taking charge of them once they arrived. This was the case with the EO BMP-2s and Hinds in Sierra Leone. The shipping order from the country of origin (I think I remember it being Ukraine) stated that they were going to the Sierra Leone government. |

jakeporeshenko: They poke in from where ever, jump into a discussions without first understanding the parameters of what is been discussed. you'll think any person who wants to contribute should ordinarily have a clear picture of what he intends to add. It's a usual trait with all of them. |

DictatorZAR1:**The JF-17 is not stealthy(that's a sure thing). But it does have roughly the same agility as an early-model F-16A..... An equivalent of F16. **The JF-17 is probably a much better close-range dogfighter than the F-35 and many other current jets. ** JF-17 can spots a CM-400AKG anti-ship missile. **plus many more. Those are not the hallmarks of a 3rd Gen. Jet. I think we just have to stop this 'dick comparison'. It's getting stale and outdated. |

Vikkie14: Don't even try to compare the j-17 to a F-35 and soothe up your ego. Facts are facts here and I'm basing my argument on what the pakistanis have said themselves. A j-17 will never even see a F-35 in a fight bcus it will be long dead. |

From now on, all "Nigerian" equipment posted here must be accompanied by an invoice, proof of payment, bank slips, and DOD signature. So atleast we all know they actually belong to Nigeria, unlike those missing helis. Kidding 3 Likes |
