Spare a thought for first world acquisition issues! Imagine when along with a high GDP per capita, you already have one of the highest standards of living in the world. The electorate,despite political differences recognizes the need for strong armed forces with working platforms. The civilian economic infrastructure has the necessary tech and experience to handle anything the AF may need. If you need subs you buy a whole fv cking fleet cause you'll create thousands of well paying high tech jobs for engineers,designers,supervisors and technicians building,maintaining,upgrading and repairing subs to last the duration of their minimum 20 year lifecycle. So when Oz buys 12 DCNS Barracudas,all to be home built for 41 bn$, I doff my hat and say ,"Advance Australia fair," Good on you mofos;I'm jealous! Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and French Minister for Defense Jean-Yves Le Drian signed an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) for the construction of Australia’s future submarine fleet on December 20, according to an Australian government press release.http://thediplomat.com/2016/12/australia-france-sign-deal-to-build-12-submarines/ See how it compares range and loadout with Western models. First world problems! 1 Like

jakeporeshenko: Cameroon has indeed built a lot of capacity around it's rapid intervention battalion (BIR) with SOME special forces skill set, well armed and remunerated unlike the rest of it's Armed Forces which makes up for much of the difference seen in it's operations based on French special forces doctrine. The BIR is some three battalions (quite huge for core elite operator units vis-a-vis the size of it's armed forces unlike the NNSBS, British SAS, US Navy Seals) with conventional capabilities. It is under it's army command and directly loyal to President Paul Biya. Not so the NNSBS which is comparable to the British SBS or US Navy Seals whose selection process is above board. While some of it's training regime is known, much of it is still classified. The NNSBS is more than just your capable special forces like Nigeria's AFSF (drawn from all arms of the military) or 72nd Mobile strike force. It is a small Naval men only unit highly skilled in all art of combat on Air, Sea (under-water) & Land. It is answerable to the CNS. It's numbers are classified. It's covert missions are classified. For hypothetical reasons as a war with Cameroon is decidedly unequal: the BIR may be comparable to the AFSF or 72MoSF. They won't see the SBS coming. 7 Likes |

SealTeam6:Some of you find it very difficult to understand simple English, 90 percent of the arguments on this thread are as a result of this. The initial argument was “what will be the outcome of a hypothetical BIR vs AFSF confrontation”, I stepped in and pointed out that they aren’t trained to fight the same fight, If Nigeria and Cameroon are to have a conflict (hypothetically) it’ll happen in the Niger Delta bakasi region, from what we have learnt in the past. This area falls directly under SBS responsibility therefore it’ll make more sense to have an SBS vs BIR confrontation rather thank AFSF vs BIR. The outcome was not discussed, it was not a comparison. Simple English brother. 1 Like |

slimthugchimee:I'm not sure how it stacks up in your part of the World but if I may. Night vision googles-$500Not sure what Russian NOD's cost but you will not get good Western NV kit for less then 2 grand. The fairly standard AN/PVS-14 monocular issued to infantry etc goes for close to 3 grand. The rather famous GPNVG-18 (those weird 4 tube NOD the SEAL wore on the bin Laden raid) are 40 thousand+ a piece. Body armour-$300 Again not sure about where Nigeria sources its BA, but here you won't get much change out of 1500 Euros between the carriers, the hard plates and the soft inserts.. Knifes- $15 You won't get a quality knife for that, and if it's NSW types, they like their knives treated for corrosion etc, so the price goes up. Jusrt for an example the Italian SOF uses various knives from Extrema ratio, none of which you'll get for less then 300 Euros. Elbow pads-$10 Mil spec ones are 4 or 5 times that minimum.
That would barely cover the cost of getting it painted ![]() 2 Likes |

Boko Haram Releases Video Of Abducted Oil Exploration Workers From The University Of Maiduguri The so-called Islamic State faction of the sectarian terrorist group, Boko Haram, has claimed responsibility for the attack on a military-escorted convoy of oil exploration workers in the Chad Basin. Scores of soldiers and civilians died in the ambush. According to sources within the leadership of the insurgent group, the Islamist terrorists did not immediately realize the composition of the convoy when they launched their attack. Such attacks on convoy are a common occurrence in Nigeria's beleaguered northeast zone where Boko Haram militants have been most active. BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKJUL 28, 2017 The so-called Islamic State faction of the sectarian terrorist group, Boko Haram, has claimed responsibility for the attack on a military-escorted convoy of oil exploration workers in the Chad Basin. Scores of soldiers and civilians died in the ambush. According to sources within the leadership of the insurgent group, the Islamist terrorists did not immediately realize the composition of the convoy when they launched their attack. Such attacks on convoy are a common occurrence in Nigeria's beleaguered northeast zone where Boko Haram militants have been most active. After the attack, the insurgent fighters abducted four persons contracted by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). One of their victims died from injuries he sustained during the onslaught. In a photo obtained by SaharaReporters through a journalist with access to the two factions of Boko Haram, the abducted lecturers are seen looking terrified and seated barefoot in some unidentified indoor facility. It is not clear whether the Islamist insurgents intend to make ransom demands in exchange for the release of their victims. However, their decision to release the photo of those they abducted may suggest a desire to seek a negotiated settlement to free the captives. . NEWS SOURCE:sahara reporters |
