frumentius: Even my untrained eye can see that many of those groups could be mopped up with no real sweat... Those Yakutumba guys to the south... hemmed in by Lake Tanganyika to the east and high ground to the West... |

For once the Army is moving, The NIgerian Army has established the aviation corps, COAS, Lt-Gen Tukur Buratai " We have compiled list of platforms from Russia, American & China origin including simulators & UAVs" "One project that is dear to me is the take off of the Nigerian Army Aviation (corps)..." Platforms considered : -Mi-17 (due to its ruggedness, operanility & multirole capability) I personnaly want it because the Air force is using it as well -Roivalk AH (after witnessing a demonstration in SA on the platforms and its employability) for me yes if maintenance is done at home -H125 helicopter. For me is the best light utility heli, my only problem with it everybody know... Let's go my "juju" brother what do you think will best for NA, and choices that they will do https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2016/04/07/boko-haram-nigerian-army-establishes-aviation-corps-to-acquire-platforms-from-russia-safrica-others-soon/ |

Nok234: Trust me we will never go for the Rooivalk. The army will go for platforms from China or Russia. 4 Likes

tdayof: It's not that I am excited. KDF made press releases and lied about what happened saying, the base was not overrun, the number of KIA, .... The troops are underpaid, bad leadership is condoned, ill quipped, and yet billions of $ are allocated to it. Just trying to show what is really going on 1 Like |

Nok234:There is a move to produce munitions capable of hitting vehicles with AP systems(eg Denel's proposed stealth Ingwe missile). There just isn't a huge need for those yet. There is no such thing as "best in the world" that system might not perform well in Africa. Similar the SA system had to undergo changes for the European environment. 1 Like |

tdayof:Z19 right, yes it is lighter, new, good punch... It is more for support to the infantry right ? If the Army is going for a light aviation corps focus on providing support to the infantry so yes it will be a very good choice |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by tdayof(m): 6:16am On Jun 03, 2017 |
Nok234:Yes, it will be a good choice. The z10 costs around 16M USD. These should be way cheaper. |

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 6:36am On Jun 03, 2017 |
MikeCZA: That's very odd for an attack helicopter. This means it carries a gun pod? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 6:38am On Jun 03, 2017 |
tdayof: That's old news. I don't know why Nok234 shared that article without indicating same. |

Henry240: It carries gunpod. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 6:57am On Jun 03, 2017 |
tdayof: Taking up a much needed hardpoint that ordinarily should carry another rocket rack. No Sir, this is not a well thought out helicopter. Instead of this, the army whenever they are ready should go for armed LUH instead. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by tdayof(m): 7:04am On Jun 03, 2017 |
Henry240: What do you suggest? T-129? Is that a gunpod or a fuel tank?

Henry240: For the first time, I'll agree with you. A helicopter that doesn't have a gun, fewer hardpoints is hardly practical. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 7:24am On Jun 03, 2017 |
tdayof: MI-17 terminators assault helicopters and any modern armed scout helicopter. I don't see why the army should get a "dedicated" attack helicopter. There is no rational reason for such a purchase in my opinion. The Air Force already flies Attack Helicopters, why would the army also need them? |

ActivateKruger: Because of other commitments, i'll be unable to post as much as i used to. However, the community is large enough to carry on without me. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 7:29am On Jun 03, 2017 |
ActivateKruger: Is hardly an attack helicopter, and for 16 million, that's just too expensive. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by tdayof(m): 7:30am On Jun 03, 2017 |
Henry240:It's not 16M. The Z10 is around 16MILLION so this will be cheaper. |

Henry240:I agree. This will also increase rivalry. |
