Troop101: I think there’s something wrong with your link, anyways this news was in Nigeria media some weeks ago and we shared it here, almost started and argument, apparently it’s not advisable to spend such money on defense while in a recession. I tried to explain that we loose even more money to illegal activities in our maritime domain, investing in the navy is one thing this government can’t do wrong. http://itweb.co.za/mobilesite/defenceweb/home/item_id-48856/ 1 Like |

Mine Clearing Line Charge (MICLIC) used by Algerian army in the last exercise probably the M58 on the video at 1:33 and detonation at 1:38 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xog_EghJg-I M58 Mine Clearing Line Charge (MICLIC) The Mine Clearing Line Charge (MICLIC) provides an effective minefield breaching capability for maneuver forces. The system consists of an M353 3-1/2 ton or M200A1 2-1/2 ton trailer (or M200 tracked trailer) chassis, a launcher assembly, M147 firing kit M58A3 line charge and a 5-inch MK22 Mod 4 rocket. The line charge is 350 feet long and contains 5 pounds per linear foot of composition C-4 explosive. Engineer units employ the MICLIC in response to minefield breaching requirements identified by the maneuver forces. The MICLIC's trailers are then towed to the selected area where an engineer prepares the line for firing. Once it is detonated, it clears a lane measuring 8 meters by 100 meters. pic2 : illustration 1 Like

Algerian1: For once South Africa has something "better" than Algeria . Doing a mini happy dance. Just kidding. Plofadder Mine Clearance They are mounted on special SANDF Casspirs vehicles I believe, although there is a smaller mobile unit for a two man team. "The Plofadder mine clearing system fires a rocket to create a ladder-like demolition zone, which is capable of cutting a 160-metre-long, nine-metre-wide lane through a minefield, Rheinmetall said, indicating the order is for the vehicle-mounted version." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQLsWqnmeII 2 Likes |

jakeporeshenko:Nobody said its ill-advised to spend on military during a recession, what i said was, don't get your hopes up because IMO your Government wont spend that much on defence during a recession. You guys then decided to interpret it the way you did above. don't go putting words in my mouth!! 1 Like |

Algerian1: Yes Bros. That's what MNJTF is meant for. The ability to chase boko haram across border. They operate around the border towns/villages too with Nigeria soldiers but not deep into our territory. Nigerian forces too do cross to Cameroon, Niger and Chad and this has helped a lot. 2 Likes |

jln115: It seems Nigeria is out of recession but we are waiting for second quarter GDP report at the end of August. Most economist have been saying this but to be officially out of recession, we need 2 consecutive positive quarterly report. |

I've seen 2 of these go off at exercises. Awesome show. The SADF engineers also had a mine called the "crater mine". It was used to simply blow up a road so that you'd have to build a bridge to get across the hole. It made the biggest explosion and dust cloud id ever seen. Algerian1: 1 Like |

NEWS B’Haram attacks Adamawa, kills scores, destroys 60 houses Published August 11, 2017 Share Tweet Share Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai Many people were feared dead on Thursday in a fresh attack by Boko Haram Islamists on Ghumbili community in the Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State. The attack comes a few days after a similar incident in neighbouring Mildu village in the local government, where seven people were killed by the insurgents. Confirming the attack, the Chairman of Madagali Local Government Council, Mr. Yusuf Muhammed, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the attack lasted from 11pm on Wednesday to 3am on Thursday. He said that the jihadists burnt no fewer than 60 houses and looted foodstuffs. “They looted foodstuffs, killed livestock and burnt the village completely,” he stated. ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads Muhammed said that the exact number of the dead and the injured people had yet to be ascertained and that villagers who escaped the attack were currently taking refuge at Gulak, the headquarters of the council. But the spokesman for the Police Command in Adamawa State, Mr. Othman Abubakar, who also confirmed the attack, said no life was lost. He, however, said that houses were destroyed in the attack – the latest in a string of deadly blows on mainly soft targets in Nigeria’s troubled North-East. Speaking on the development, the Executive Chairman of the Adamawa State Emergency Management Agency, Mr. Haruna Furo, said that only one person was killed and that many houses were destroyed. Boko Haram appears to have raised its onslaught in recent weeks in its eight-year bloody insurgency that has claimed thousands of lives.

In fact the next financial year will see a heavier defence outlay for much needed air transports and sources say will include FSBs,though I can't vouch for the last item. Carry on! |

TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL COMMENDS NAF EFFORTS IN CURBING CORRUPTION The Transparency International (TI) has lauded the efforts of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) towards fighting corruption and eliminating waste to improve service delivery. The commendation was made on 10 August 2017 by the Representative of TI on Defence and Security Programme, Sir Ian Andrews, during a one-day leadership workshop held at the Headquarters NAF Abuja, in collaboration with the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre. Sir Andrews also commended the NAF for overhauling its procurement process and adhering to international best practices in procurement procedures. The workshop was aimed at building the capacity of NAF personnel and to further strengthen the NAF’s procurement procedures. Making reference to global efforts in addressing the challenge of corruption, Sir Andrews commended the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, for setting an example of what an institution should do towards stemming the tide of corruption and promoting transparency not only in procurement but in other areas. He praised the NAF’s initiative in introducing mortgage scheme for new recruits and young officers. According to him, the initiative would enable the young personnel to gradually contribute towards owning their individual houses by the time they are exiting the Service. Consequently, this laudable effort would go a long way in enabling NAF personnel to focus on efficient and effective service delivery without being distracted by the worries of house ownership, a major cause of corruption. In his remarks, the CAS stated that the NAF had initiated many changes in the procurement process within the ambit of the Public Procurement Act 2007 to enhance transparency and integrity in the procurement system. “This led to the establishment of a Directorate of Procurement tasked with the responsibility of coordinating activities in the NAF”, he said. The CAS therefore thanked TI for facilitating the workshop, which he believed would further improve transparency in the procurement process. “For us in the NAF, we are committed to following through on all lessons learnt to ensure the achievement of the goal of a transparent and corruption-free procurement process,” he further said. Participants at the leadership workshop identified some immediate and remote causes of corruption in the society to include lack of integrity and trust among other factors. The need to build strong institutions as part of measures to prevent corruption was equally noted. DOPRI 2 Likes
