GreenandGold:



Africa is a name of a continent, someone coming out of it is called an African. It's not a skin colour.

African as a continental citizen you are correct but African as a race means black people in different shades of brown. Like European citizen or European union citizan but when they say Caucasian u know who they are. It just that the place is Africa tge citizens are Africans but the race of people who originate from the continent are Africans black people . Simple. I hope this helps to clear up any misunderstanding. When we say Asia it a name of a place but we all know how Asians look like unless u think Africans immigrant born in china are of the Asian race and no longer an African.

LTGEN:

To be Factual Africans come in all colors and it will be wrong in the year 2017 not even been politically correct to define an African by their identity as being black, if Nigeria being a microscope of Africa in terms of population and ethnicity it would be improper.
Africans being the first human beings to populate the earth to current day are not only black , but are also Asian , Arabic, White, Jewish and even Middle Eastern.

you r correct but know we live in a color coded world u onow who u r and how to act. Look at world alliance Nato

Rubbish! You do know that biologically, there's no such thing as race, right? Race as a social construct is only 400 years old; invented by people who look like me to justify oppressing people darker than them. Thousands of years of human interaction before that meant that strangers were fought or assimilated, regardless of pigmentation.
Why somebody in the cradle of all humankind would cite discredited unscientific race nonsense boggles the mind.

And yes, I'm aware of the damage the previous 400 years of oppression have wrought on the planet's darker people.

correct but that is what the world operate on. Two germ one black one drown. You can get the brown from the black. We all have both but the people with the brown showing on the outside try to make the people with the black s3cond class citizen. Think global on every thing u do and act local. L8ke it or not that is the world wars economics and anyother stuf is entangleled in it so stop loving everyone else but your self stop doi g things that r not in ur group's interest. Why do u think Yemen was bombed civilians starved and aid ships turned around western media did not care but suddenly cares about civilians dieing in Syria all economics bro. That is the world so stop we love everyone nonscence. We care about them but not to the extent that harms our interest. U pray to a white jesus when the bible says he is black and look at thos people as god u go to pilgrame in mecca and can eat a spercial food only from Arabia. Come on it all a constructed racial economic apparatus. I leave u hear bro.

In the name of Kilimanjaro! When are you guys going to put comms on all your APCs? People dying in blue-on-blue incidents because there's no radios, not enough?

Who said there are no coms? There's a report from DHQ or NA on the coms so I think you're wrong.

Seen some US MRAPS with antennas not visible.

what is this hullabaloo about pigmentation ?

humans have created lots of idiotic fallacies for the benefit of some, this is one of them

blame the sun (happen over hundreds/thousands of years with lead to creation of certain higher pigmentation producing genes and if Africa becomes Antarctica someday expect the reverse to happen with the same probability)

so chill it

strictly internal musings

just wondering if god is black or white or brown or yellow maybe pink ?

again r there special concessions for black or white or brown or yellow ( maybe pink ) colors in heaven or hell ?
(just like religions who claim special concessions for their faithfuls even though they r neck deep in depravity/inhumanity )

only a idiot will believe that right ?
damn it , lolz i just called almost all humanity idiots

Come now, not all NA APCs have comms. The friendly fire incident where 2 STTEP contractors died was because of lack of comms. Yes it's improved since then, but based on the pics, there's still a way to go.

There's a video of a NA Reva on YouTube with no visible antenna but the inside shows mobile radio comms.
Therefore the above picture doesn't mean the Reva posted by Henry isn't equipped with Radio coms.

I'll check for the video again and post here. I think it's the one by 72mobile

All NPF APC are equipped with Radio coms including the hilux but some of them do not have visible antenna. I don't know how but I have seen alot of NPF vehicle with Radio coms and no visible antenna.

Frumentius, you're in camp with Internet and electricity in one remote part of the south coast? Hehe, you must be the most resourceful dude I know.

GLAUCOMA: NAF SENSITIZES PERSONNEL, OFFERS FREE SCREENING

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has commenced free glaucoma screening and sensitization campaign among personnel and their dependants nationwide. The aim is to provide early detection and treatment of the ailment while enlightening members of the Air Force family and people within host communities around NAF units about the danger of glaucoma which is becoming rampant and increasingly undetected among Nigerians. The campaign, comprising free medical screening and awareness lecture, was started-off yesterday at NAF Base Makurdi to coincide with the World Glaucoma Week which is a joint initiative between the World Glaucoma Association and World Glaucoma Patient Association. A total of 317 persons benefitted from the free eye test. The exercise would be conducted in all NAF units across the country.

NAF RECEIVES ACCREDITATION CERTIFICATE IN AVIATION MEDICINE

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has been presented with accreditation certificate in aviation medicine. The certificate was presented to the NAF by the Head of Aero-medical Standard, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Dr Wilfred Haggai at a brief ceremony in Lagos. Dr Wilfred congratulated the NAF and expressed his satisfaction with the level of partnership between the Service and civil organisations which led to the achievement. With the accreditation, 561 NAF Hospital, Ikeja can now conduct aircrew annual medical examination for both military and civil pilots in Nigeria. In addition to this feat, two NAF flight surgeons, Wing Commander Alfred Ayodeji Ogbonna and Squadron Leader Joshua Danji were also recognised by NCAA as certified aviation medical examiners in Nigeria.

They have comms, what happened at gwoza was a result of radio interference due to rocky terrain.

Apart from S Africans,Ethiopians served in the Korean war. The emperor Haile Selassie sent 3 successive battalions from his own Imperial Bodyguard to assist the UN,known as the Kagnew battalion.

It was real combat!



Not your typical peacekeeping operation

More than 3,000 Ethiopians fought in the Korean War, more than 120 were killed, more than 500 were wounded. The survivors returned to Addis Ababa as heroes.

What combat trainer jets that are already in the battlefield and converted to attack roles with mordern munition and avionics similar to the western.....
A truly dedicated gunship is much more expensive, a chinese Z-10 is $17Mil a pop, same price for russian Mi-28.......
Besides the issue of price, the light attack craft also come with the advantage of ISR capability and endurance, the aircraft could spend alot of hours high up in the sky out of visual range looking for enemy targets.. and if it finds them, it double as attack craft so no need to call other air-strike..


Besides, Most countries fighting terrorism in M.East AKA terrorism central Command eigther already have or are currently in the proces of acquiring light attack aircraft for COIN,

AFghan Airforce has orderd 20 A-29
Lebanon has ordered 6 Tucanos for $462M ..... although the deal also include 2,000 APKWS




Jordan wants to upgrade its AT-802 to archangel standards




UAE took its last delivery of its 24th archangel last month, it had ordered them in 2015, They now plan to add 12 More.. This is in addition to 48 AT-*)@ UAE had already taken delivery of although they have given them to its allies- 6 to jordan, 12 to egypt, others were given to Lybia




In addition to the 12 At-802 Egypt was given by UAE, egypt wants to upgrage them to archangel standards, they also plan to order 10 arcangels....

Now, Doesnt egypt have a mixture of most of the mordern fighters and attack helos, drones already?? from f-16, rafale, Mig-21s, Mig-35s,..... they also have advance trainers like Alpha jet, L-59s...to gunships such as Mi-8,Apache, Ka-52, black hawks......

Why would a military with such an enviable arsenal be looking to use cheap light attack aircrafts for its day to day COIN operations instead of its expensive firepower

I've said it before-the world needs a twin turboprop attack craft like the old Pucara.



or OV 10.



The first one company to develop an iteration of these turbo props will make billions! Nemesis2u,any such development on your end on this matter?

' the essay/literature ' (nice insulting choice of words by the way ) has been moved to the technical thread

in the hind sight the essay was a solution to address african need in reply to a question asked here, but what the heck, no sweat

lastly my humble request any questions to me in future , be asked in the technical thread only as i wont bother to reply here at all.
thank u

Nemesis2u, all these your long comments derail the trajectory of this thread. please in the future, post short comments or simply add a link.

Some of us cannot be posting Africa related photos and videos while others only concentrate on derailing the thread.

This is the African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread, not an essay writing or literature thread.

Thanks.
