Where were you? Do you know which test were carried out?? Im sure it's adequate for the purpose its going to be used for, but just looking at the photo i can tell you it won't come close to the poleris in terms of raw off road ability.

Airborne360:
its ours but don't know where it was sourced from, the. As for Gunships I havent had time to yet

Vikkie14:
Oga, chillax. There's nothing childish about what happened. Seems you are new, you should know it's "That week" again, it will soon pass. It's Africaken254 turn this time around .
Where are the Ghanians, they are hardly seen these days.

overhypedsteve:

hanging weapons on the AT-802 is an old farm pilots idea of a joke for African Militaries.

Henry240:


I can't tell the lefts from the right of the comments made by you and Ssaengine.

Like I said previously, not interested. I hope this is clear enough?

Henry240:


This is the statement from the manufacturers of the ATV, the Nigerian army.




"The Infantry Patrol Vehicle (IPV) with off-road mobility and a crew of three was one of the star attractions at the summit. Weighing 650kg and powered by 150-200 Horse Power Engine, the IPV has a 130 kilometre per hour capacity.
It provides force multiplier and the required flexibility to undertake all tasks across the entire spectrum of military operations, including range fighting, fast action mission, urban and border patrols.
The IPV is fitted with two machine guns and have been deployed in all the theatres of operation."

If they are ever in need of your "expert" opinions on the ATV, I'll be sure to point them to this thread. Until then, you can have a very good evening.

Odunayaw:
I understand now

jeez the polaris looks angry!! and our (oooo let's name this thing na) IPV looks like its baby brother

I recon it will serve well with the Special Forces and battalion recces

if only Proforce listened to me

Henry240:


They can name the ATV whatever they like, my interest is to only see full, clear photos of the vehicle.

It has already been deployed in combat operations by the Army.

jln115:
Still better looking than the Hornet.....and if it's any consolation the Polaris is better than the Hornet off roading wise to!!

Henry240:


Dude, this has nothing to do with a consolation, comparison or price. I'm simply not interested.

Henry240:



For that, the commanders machine gun stays. Although I still think it should be replaced with a shorter PKM.

Lachit is Nemesis2u.

Henry240:


The problem i have with the Mwari is, it is a brand new platform which hasn't been tested in combat. We don't have that luxury to be a test bed for a new platform. In every development cycle of a new asset, problems are bound to arise. What we need is an airplane that has proven record of combat delivery. Records available show that in a LICW or COIN threat environment the Tucano has been more effective than fast jets, that thing can loiter for 8 hours, more than many attack helicopters.

With the Mwari, we can get co-production rights which is a good thing down the line, but we cannot be a test bed.

Odunayaw:
same here

the PKM would add to the swagger
wouldn't mind adding collapsible windshield and maybe one more seat(I know my ojukokoro is much )

ssaengine:


I'll put it ght.

Henry240:


You sound totally pained. Unfortunately I can't help you with that.

Odunayaw:
the Hornet's load bearing capacity would suffice for its looks

That was very funny, just so you know before the NA deploys any machine it is tested and trained by the men who are going to use it , repeatedly at the height of the bh campaign the NA repeatedly tested and trained the men who were using these new weapons. lol those comments by MR HENRY are still ringing

It should be aptly titled the anguish and butthurt of pained South-Africans. Anyway, I don't have their time.

I just noticed, the seats are adjustable to give the commander better firing room to let loose his machine gun.

For that, the commanders machine gun stays. Although I still think it should be replaced with a shorter PKM.

Hornet is definitely a great battle proven design, but gosh its ugly!!
