Henry240: Roles;this is a light scout/attack rotary. Z9 is medium utility that has an attack variant the Z W9,while the Puma and Mi 17 are transport. The MI 28 havoc is a dedicated attack chopper,a pure gunship,for both anti personnel and anti tank. I know pics are best but that can't happen and they're not at the 50 ACB,Embakasi,Nairobi. This one reputable site. With the delivery of the Mi-28s Iraq has become the third country (with Russia and Kenya) to operate the all-weather, day-night, two-seat anti-armor attack helicopter (whose export version is known as Mi-28NE) destined to replace the Mi-24 Hind in Russian service.https://theaviationist.com/2014/02/27/photo-mi-28ne-iraq/ The other site , defense industry daily isn't opening. |

newafricaken254: True! The biggest killing was early 2015 when a combined air ground op killed 540. People have no idea how many AS have met the 72 virgins-well over 3K. The biggest battle of the pre Kismayu capture campaign was in Fafadun town in Gedo,IIRC March or April 2012, 300+ AS were KIA in one afternoon. |

MikeCZA: My own info is that he's more of a bogeyman to justify M7 regional depradations. Kony might not even exist;if he does like Shekau he has several avatars proving his role as actor for proxy forces. |

Henry240:henry240 if I am to answer your question in my own little way, the answer I think lies in our ISR aircraft's as you can see regardless of the Hollywood type scenes we see everyday, our net centric capabilities Is still at the intermediate but extremely effective against our threat assessment. our ISR,ATR surveillance assets enagage in combat air patrols and spot targets, pinpoint locations of mostly immobile assets and relay such to the strike group in yola or maid , fighters are scrambled and how on earth will a good NAF pilot miss a 6,000, ft dive at corrected elevation with an mk 84 second scenario, Intel about hostile movement is relayed to control a full complement of surveillance and attack assets are scrambled survelliance assets co-ordinates heavy attack on larger targets while smaller targets as straffted by helos. bottom line, the guidance is as always there , been long NAF flew blind then they is GPS and GIS |

kikuyu2: like Andrew said: andrewza: Between the UN in DRC, Ugandans and Americans in CAR he has been relegated to irrelevance. There were less than 300 of them 8 years ago and Kony has lost CnC of the majority of the bands of fighters. In a two year period alone, 2008-2010 the Ugandans took almost 500 L.R.A out of the fight (killed, captured, defected). Back then the LRA was devided into 3 sections: - Maj. General Joseph Kony and his personal protection detail (unknown location) - Brig. Okot Odhiambo (C.A.R) - Brig. Dominic Onwgen (D.R.C) Onwgen was captured in the C.A.R and Obhiambo defected the Ugandans. The entire LRA, or whats left of it, is now hemmed into the border region between C.A.R and D.R.C between Zemio and Obo. When you read about the attacks the statements always say: 5-9 LRA (including women and children) with AK47's, wearing a mix of civilian and military clothing and its usually to steal food, clothing and money. One of their recent raids was to rob two cyclists. Before that they stole two cows. The most telling part is that they have stopped abducting men, because they cant sustain any new fighters. They only take women. |

Patches689,henry240,greenandgold,andrewza and fidha254 I've been kicking this idea around for a while. A test of everyone's knowledge of the tactical,financial,political and strategic level. Your task is to establish a Naij/RSA/Kenyan MEU on the USMC MEU lines. 2200 marines under a Colonel 4 M1A1 main battle tank ground 7 to 16 Light Armored Vehicle ground 15 Assault Amphibious Vehicle ground 6 155mm howitzer: M777 ground 8 M252 81mm mortar ground 8 BGM-71 Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missile weapon system ground 8 FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missile ground 4 to 6 AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters aviation 3 UH-1Y Venom light utility helicopters aviation 12 MV-22A Osprey medium-lift tiltrotor aircraft aviation 4 CH-53E Super Stallion heavy-lift transport helicopters aviation 6 AV-8B Harrier V/STOL light-attack airplanes aviation 2 KC-130 Hercules aerial re-fueler/transport airplanes Note: usually maintained in the continental United States aviation 2 Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit logistics 1 LMT 3000 water purification unit logistics 4 Tractor, Rubber Tire, Articulated Steering logistics 2 TX51-19M Rough Terrain Forklift logistics 3 D7 bulldozer logistics 1 Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement dump truck logistics 4 Mk48 Logistics Vehicle System logistics 7 500 gallon water containers multiple 63 Humvee multiple 30 Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement trucks multiple 5 RQ-21 Stingray UAV aviation Your governments have decided set up respective MEUs as regional RDFs and spearhead formations. Your marines must be scuba and airborne qualified with necessary assets. Your budget is 2 bn$ +_ 10%,for currency fluctuation and occasional cost overruns with a 5 yr timeline of 400mn% yearly so as not to alarm neighbours. This is a figure all our nations can REALISTICALLY manage. If you lust for a minisubs,Su 30s and/or Dokdos this task isn't for you. This site is excellent in pricing weapons systems. The Dokdo LHD is 900 mn$,almost half your budget. [img]http://nationsdawnofanera.weebly.com/-amphibious-vessels.html[/img] Remember every weapon has a purchase price[b] and a maintenance cost![/b] which must be factored into your writeup. IL-76MD Candid Russia FAC 40 mn$ Annual maintenance 12.5 mn$ IL-76MF Candid Russia FAC 50 mn $ Annual maintenance 12.0 mn$ AN 70 Ukraine FAC 70mn $ Annual maintenance 11.2 mn$ C-295 Spain/Indonesia FAC 35 MN$ Annual maintenance 3.9 mn$ Also,one of anything is NONE! You need minimum two of anything for operational reserve and training. Buying one C17 Globemaster at just under 400 mn$ is nonsensical. This task is actually a lot of work and requires more than scant understanding if you decide to post.eg,what's your arty? How many SPs? Do you need or want MRLSs? WHAT'S THEIR COST? The Serbian Nora is almost a third of the Swedish Archer at 12.5 mn$,with G6 costing 7.5 mn$ and G6 52 is 10.4 mn$. Factor ammo training costs,since each gun will shot at least 450 rounds 3 times a year. 105mm NATO APERS: Weight: 17.45 kg; Price: $240 (S/R)http://www.pmulcahy.com/ammunition/howitzer_rounds.html You need to know the quality of your potential opponents is wayyy beyond BH,M23 or Al Shabab and will include the West and their proxies,including even French in the form of the FFL. You'll need at least short range SAMs,to defend captured towns but not longer range systems which are army purview. Remember ,also,the US Marines are underarmed in some respects;they lost Fallujah since they lacked heavy APCs needed for all the RPG armed Jihadis. Your platforms must ofc be marine coated which precludes the Hind which lacks a navalised version-make sure your fav platform is navalised!! Nemesis2u,if this gets going can you advise? Your A/Cs must fly at least 150 hrs yearly. Include salaries and combined training costs for the men as a whole unit. Who wants to play? Lets do more than post pics! We've done that for years now! |
