Nigerian forces with a captured terrorist

This picture reminds me of the Nigerian civil war era video circling around of a reporter assuring this other captured supposedly enemy soldier that he won't be killed only to be tied up and killed moments later when the reporter leaves.

Yes why is he replying to them?

It would be better to make ludicrous statements and try to pass them off as fact (by ignoring all criticism)

Jesus christ, you need to get over your issues with South Africa. Its fvcking pathetic.

Senegal is a European country and member of NATO!

Cash rich countries can spend up to 20 percent of GDP on defence. For Nigeria 2 per cent of GDP expenditure on defence would make us the highest defence spender in Africa. That should be the goal.

ViceAdmirlAgain:


Specializing the armed forces from just an Army that was centered around 6 to 8 Bn's (8000 men) led to an approved force structure of about 20000 according to public finance reports(likely to keep up with Botswana IMO also), rebuilding of SADF era bases which are dilapidated plus the acquisitions that go along with such an expansion....the budget has been reduced during the past two years thou ..84% of the budget is spent on personnel, 8% on Goods and Services and another 8% on Development

84% of personnel?

WTF, thats worse than even the SANDF!!

c 130 H , and H30 were upgraded in 2012 , 2013 in USA .

it could be the "Flight 2 Avionics Management System" de Rockwell Collins upgrade

Rockwell Collins’ avionics and display systems have been selected to provide Communication, Navigation and Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) cockpit upgrades for a number of C-130 aircraft customers.

Rockwell Collins provides total avionics systems solutions for several international C-130 upgrade programs. As part of our integrated offering, we supply the flight management systems, displays, autopilot, weather radar, Traffic Alert Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) and the complete suite of radio communications/navigation equipment . Installation of these components into the C-130 provides a highly integrated flight deck system with a glass cockpit for improved situational awareness , reduced crew workload and enhanced safety features, as well as all CNS/ATM capabilities. Rockwell Collins’ development of the 6” x 8” Multi-Function Display (MFD) family , specifically designed for the C-130 also brings expanded utility and capability to the cockpit. Rockwell Collins solutions have been selected for C-130 upgrade programs in Canada, Denmark, Greece, Jordan, Pakistan, Egypt , Thailand, Singapore and a North Africa country . More C-130s are flying with Rockwell Collins avionics than any other single avionics provider.

I think the SAAF needs a similar upgrade, but our C130 airframes are Jurassic - it would be a waste.

The airframes are old yes, but the cockpit was upgraded when they were worked up to the current BZ standard.

PICS: C-130B to C-130BZ

Most people talk about the war they fought in Angola and Mozambique which ended up being so costly it brought down the entire Portugese Government in a coup.

But many forget they huge war they fought in Guinea-Bissau

The SANDF will never have the budget to use Ingwe's for fire support. Even in the old days, very few ZT3's were shot during training.
That's why you need a cheap bomb slinger to do fire support. As good as a 30mm is, it will never be very effective against bunkers buildings etc.
Just doesn't have the volume to carry enough HE for the job.

I totally get your position.

But shouldn't that role be put up as part of the requirements for a new light armour vehicle for the armour guys not infantry. Putting the 90 on the Badger would the deny the future armoured brigade a chance to have a light armour capability.

The weapons(EMAK-30 an SS-77) on the Infantry variants would be there to provide sustained fire to cover own troops and vehicle movements , cause enemy troops to lay down their heads while own troops advance, destroy or disable enemy APC, tanks, IFV, Trucks, technicals etc.

Anyway! The only aspect of fire support I'm worried about for the mechanized infantry is that it seems there's no replacement for the Ratel-81.
