Henry240: Henro they better not try it or else Odunayaw and myself will organize angry mob to protest at army HQ in Abuja, COAS and the gang seem willing and able to go shopping for new assets, the only thing that seems to be missing is the finance. Now is the time wether recession or no recession, if they don't acquire now, in the next 1 year when Boko haram is history politicians will have reasons to withhold funds. We will begin to hear "competiting demand" |

British intelligence agency GCHQ spied on africa leaders,opposition leaders,businessmen,african companies,military and intelligence heads,african embassies e.t.c this is from data cache of the former NSA (National Security Agency) operative Edward Snowden Dozens of politicians, diplomats, military and intelligence chiefs, members of the opposition and leading business figures were wiretapped across the continent.This rare overview of modern satellite espionage could hardly be less technical and abstract, for it not only names the victims of intercepts but also reveals the scale of a surveillance operation spanning an entire continent. That continent is Africa. New documents shown to Le Monde, in collaboration with The Intercept, from the data cache of the former NSA (National Security Agency) operative Edward Snowden, originally given to Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras, offer unprecedented insight into information on twenty African countries collected by GCHQ, the British intelligence service, between 2009 and 2010.Dozens of lists of intercepts examined by Le Monde journalists stem from a specific period of operations by GCHQ technicians. These reports celebrate GCHQ’s success in redirecting flows of satellite communications, and conclude that the agency could now proceed with systematic data collection.The lists of hundreds of intercepts by GCHQ contain the names of heads of states, incumbent or former prime ministers, diplomats, military and intelligence chiefs, members of the opposition and leading figures from the world of business and the financial industry. These actions violated the political, economic and strategic sovereignty of twenty African countries, many of whose leaders were allies of Great Britain.GCHQ’s main targets were heads of state and prime ministers. Although the UK was Kenya’s main trade partner, in March 2009 the British secret services intercepted communications by President Mwai Kibaki and his closest strategic advisers, as well as eavesdropping on Prime Minister Raila Odinga. They followed the same approach in Angola, Africa’s largest oil producer, which has been governed by President José Eduardo Dos Santos since 1979. The intercept reports show that Luanda’s presidential palace was under surveillance. At the time of the intercepts, Angola was suffering from a crash in commodity prices, and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Luanda to boost strategic cooperation between the two countries. Great Britain provided information to the United States to ensure the latter retained its stranglehold on the region. GCHQ also conducted massive intercepts in Nigeria, a former British colony and member of the Commonwealth. British agents listened in on phone calls by President Umaru Yar’Adua, his aide-de-camp and his main advisers, including his principal private secretary and his special adviser. GCHQ also targeted the vice-president of the continent’s most populous country and the largest economic power in the region. As the Nigerian head of state was already sick (he died on 5 May 2010), his successor Goodluck Jonathan’s phone line was also on the list of planned intercepts. Yet GCHQ did not focus exclusively on politicians. The lists also feature some of the continents’ leading businessmen and bankers including the Kenyan Chris Kirubi. The Nigerian billionaire Tony Elumelu, regarded as one of Africa’s richest and most influential men, was also targeted by British agents in 2009. A friend of Nigeria’s then president Umaru Yar’Adua, Elumelu was at the helm of the United Bank for Africa (UBA).read more http://www.lemonde.fr/afrique/article/2016/12/08/british-spying-tentacles-reach-across-africa-s-heads-of-states-and-business-leaders_5045668_3212.html?xtmc=mwai_kibaki&xtcr=2 |

As part of U.S.-Chadian efforts to counter Boko Haram in the Lake Chad Basin, the United States will provide 60 Toyota David Light Armored Vehicles to the Chadian Task Force. The first twenty vehicles were presented by Lt. Col. Charles Lewis, U.S. Chief of Security Cooperation at the U.S. Embassy in N'Djamena, and received by General Guinambaye Barde, Chadian second Deputy Chief of Staff, in a ceremony on Dec. 8, 2016.

jakeporeshenko: The body language from the army is borderline hopeless. No sign of movement on that end. Atleast we are all well aware of the Air Force and to some extent the Navy. Besides, what did we even get with the 2016 budget, I nova see anything interms of acquisitions. |

Henry240: CIS 50MG Unique for its duel feed set up, allowing the gunner to switch seamlessly between Ball, AP or SABOT (yes, SABOT) Singapore makes great guns, can't believe more people aren't adopting them as you can see above, further: The Ultimax is a SAW that basically has no recoil |

Patchesagain: You mean from Al Bab alone, what about from other fronts? How could they have lost 11 Tanks, 10 Leos in Al Bab, what are they even doing? How many tanks have they lost in general, I know the Kurds killed a couple Patton tanks initially, any ideas? |

Patchesagain: They are a small city state in Asia. Most people can't point out Singapore in the map. They do make very good Interceptors and MPVs. All navy guns and 40mms are bought from SK. |

Patchesagain: ** I'll like to correct an error i made a couple weeks back on the size of Turkey in NATO. I initially said Turkey has the 4rd largest military in NATO behind the US, UK and France. Actually the Turks have the 2nd largest military in NATO, only behind the US. In my opinion, Turkey deploying Tanks and IFVs, without large scale Infantry was a very bad idea. Syria sits right on the border, the idea of copying Western partners in sending only SF is a bad, terrible idea. Not like their Special Forces have been effective anyway, i mean, when compared to the Russians, the other SF units operating in Syria seem to be a bunch of over-pampered babies. The Turks would eventually take Al bab, but the losses we are currently seeing could have been avoided. |

Henry240:whats will infantry do when your enemy is targeting your armour using ATGM with ranges of 4 -7km !(most of the clashes between ISIS and turkish troops aren't in densely urban areas) also turkey having more personnel does equate to strength.china has the second largest air force in the world but most of the planes are second generation MIG-21 variants

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 6:00pm On Dec 27, 2016 |
africaken254: Infantry would allow the Turks provide a coordinated and well targeted response, irrespective of the distance the ATGM is fired from. Quantity is it's own quality. The US for instance has 1.2 million soldiers. We tend to forget this. In the Kurks battle, for every T-34 destroyed by the Tiger tank, the Russians responded with 2 or 3 more, until the Russians eventually overwhelmed the Germans. Turkey having the second largest military in NATO is an advantage, however their surgeon into Syria seems to suggest their are gaps in the quality of NATO training. |

africaken254:They provide a screen. In Angola in the initial stages of the 88 battles South Africa deployed "Tank hunter teams" equipped with missiles. The Angolans simply used infantry to screen the tanks. They aren't destroyed at long ranges. 3 Likes |
