Odunayaw: I know but it can also wreck havoc if it's coordinated properly and I also agree that it can't be used in densely populated areas except mortars. In all, we seriously need those MRAPS OR Ivf asap I've also noticed that N. A hasn't been making use of anti-personal defense mines like the American CLAYMORE and someone said we're signatories to the Ottawa treaty, that's why they've not been using it. Do you know anything about this treaty ![]() |

Perhaps Nigeria is pushing to standardize mbt as a t72/t90? Would make sense imo. Then the Vickers could be converted to IFV (think along the lines of the terminator) or other support vehicles like recovery vehicles, bridgelayers, or Afghanskii style AA guns/IFV. That what I can think of ground vehicle wise. |

saintjoel:The Nigerian Army has used Artillery cover before ....... and it has resulted in on Blue on Blue in which a well known LT. COL was killed . Arty cover has to be carefully managed and at this stage N.A. are trained to fight through ambushes . |

Odunayaw: CLAYMORE is actually a remote controlled explosive device for temporary use,it is used to secure perimeters . It can be rolled up immediately the troops are about to move out of their initial position. 400 ball bearings compacted into just one claymore, imagine what 10 will do,when BHTs are about to attack your group.

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by saintjoel(m): 6:07pm On Aug 24, 2017 |
Odunayaw: Boss, it seems you're misquoting me. It's basically used to secure positions,in a situation where troops need to bed down for a night or two,it can also be used to secure FOBs,it can also be used when you want to ambush enemy troops. I wasn't saying anything about using them to get out of ambush. ********** The M18A1 Claymore mine has a horizontally convex gray-green plastic case (inert training versions are light blue or green with a light blue band). The shape was developed through experimentation to deliver the optimum distribution of fragments at 50 m (55 yd) range. The case has the words "FRONT TOWARD ENEMY" embossed on the front of the mine.[3] A simple open sight on the top surface allows for aiming the mine. Two pairs of scissor legs attached to the bottom support the mine and allow it to be aimed vertically. On both sides of the sight are fuse wells set at 45 degrees. Internally the mine contains a layer of C-4 explosive behind a matrix of about seven hundred 1⁄8-inch-diameter (3.2 mm) steel balls set into an epoxy resin. When the M18A1 is detonated, the explosion drives the matrix forward, out of the mine at a velocity of 1,200 m/s (3,937 ft/s),[1] at the same time breaking it into individual fragments. The steel balls are projected in a 60° fan-shaped pattern that is 6.5 feet (2.0 m) high and 50 m (55 yd) wide at a range of 50 m (55 yd). The force of the explosion deforms the relatively soft steel balls into a shape similar to a .22 rimfire projectile.[1] These fragments are moderately effective up to a range of 100 m (110 yd), with a hit probability of around 10% on a prone man-sized 1.3-square-foot (0.12 m2) target. The fragments can travel up to 250 m (270 yd). The optimum effective range is 50 m (55 yd), at which the optimal balance is achieved between lethality and area coverage, with a hit probability of 30% on a man-sized target.[4] The weapon and all its accessories are carried in an M7 bandoleer ("Claymore bag" ![]() ![]() The mine can be detonated by any mechanism that activates the blasting cap. There are field-expedient methods of detonating the mine by tripwire, or by a timer, but these are rarely used. |

PRESS RELEASE NIGERIAN AIR FORCE AIRCRAFT CRASHES IN KADUNA A Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Air Beetle Aircraft today crashed in Kaduna while on a mission. The only soul on board the aircraft, one of the NAF’s experienced instructor pilots, was unfortunately lost during the mishap. The cause of the incident is unknown but the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS) has immediately directed the constitution of a board of inquiry to determine the immediate and remote causes of the crash. The unfortunate incident is a tragic reminder of the hazards associated with the flying profession. The CAS and the entire NAF family commiserate with the relatives of the late instructor pilot. OLATOKUNBO ADESANYA Air Commodore Director of Public Relations and Information The Air beetle still flies? RIP to the pilot 1 Like |
