Egypt Military is the fulcrum that ties the stability in the region since Egypt is highly respected by all country in the Middle East and Europe by both allies and foes. The Egyptian Military is the Strongest in all Arab states and Africa and although not a NATO member, its remains a very valuable partner to that organisation.
The Egyptian military has considerable influence in the country because it has alot of control in th countries politics, economics, business, infrastructure, manufacturing, real estate and others.

.

Egyptian Army
The Egyptian Army is the Best, Strongest and Most Powerful Army in all of Africa due to its immerse size in terms of equipment and manpower. Although it still uses conscript which serve for between 12 and 36 months and at the age of between 18 and 30, but the conscripts are very professional and highly trained with most of them having attained various university degrees.

I know kikuyu1, mikeCZA, and 61mech have views on this:
it is way past time to retire Grandad's WW2 Ma Deuce. Hell, even the little Hornet can carry the 20mm GA-1. Get rid of the Browning and mount the GA-1 on all our combat land vehicles - Geckos, Hornets, Mambas and Casspirs (I know the GA-1 is WW2 vintage also, but as patches689 says, it's all about the dakka) .

I can't wait to see the Inkunzi Strike - at 13 kg and 85 cm, smaller and lighter than the Browning; automatic belt feed firing 350 round/minute of the innovative 20X42mm round in HEI, SAPHEI, etc - mounted on the Hornet.

The decision not to arm to or use the A109s as gunships like their predecessors killed the GAMA? As the Rooivalk was heading for service at the time.

In my opinion the SASFB should have adopted the GAMA. The design philosophy is similar to the NTW-20 but able to fire 12,7 x 99 mm, 20 x 82 mm, 14,5 x 114mm, 20 x110mm and 20 x 102mm ammunition. MORE DAKKA

The GA1 fires the 20 x 82mm round. Was designed in the 1930s.

The GAMA should be taken out of the deep freezer and pressed into service with the SASFB. It will replace the old Ma deuce and the GA1.

Or As defence forces accross the continent are getting more professional and increasing their pools of specialists more specifically on the light infantry and special operations. The defence force should convert one of the motorized battalions into a light rapid response battalion to relieve and support the paras.

Able to respond to raiders or enemy special forces operating in the rears. An excuse to equip them with the CSIR Light tactical vehicle and other cool stuff.

The most powerful milraty in Africa is France.

frumentius:
This response leaves me cold. As I've always said, we post here as individuals. I was perplexed at the individual voters in Imo State who elected, and dare I say, continue to support a governor who pulls such stunts as honouring Jacob Zuma.
I am encouraged by the many respondents here who've objected to iblawi's crude collectivist smear of individual Nigerians who happen to share some traits with the clown who currently governs Imo State.

Hopefully, this enlightened posture will endure and be applied when the usual charlatans seek to deviously escape individual accountability by portraying particular contretemps as generalised nationalistic conflicts i.e. a random couple who happen to possess Nigerian passports disagreeing with me being portrayed as "Nigeria vs South Africa".

What can I say, I'm just an naive Afro-optimist!

P.S. iblawi, mate, that "apology" insults everyone here.

You think we were joking when we said things go the other way round here? Some try to claim he insulted Nigeria as a whole but they forgot they should be the one apologizing to me for election a dummy who has been embarrassing over 192 million Nigerians (recent statistics). They hardly even condemn his actions but when you attack them they give you excuse of one Nigeria, when they achieve something they credit it to themselves. I wasn't happy with the apology too but I just had to allow some people sleep at night. That statue would have been pulled down if it was in another region.


Let's just let it go so that this tread won't burn down. I know you are really pained that Zuma could get such recognition that even Mandela didn't get at a go here despite his relationship with Nigeria.

Moroccan SIGMA Sultan Moulay Ismail 614 at Sea Border 2017 exercise

Nimr II [Wheeled Armored Vehicle] Algeria

the E-95 ENIX Target drone , used as taget for air force missiles and SAM exercises

lionel4power:

I didn't read the article, but judging from the Title, it does seem to have alot in common with the article written by Darren Oliver on Africadefence.net!

Algerian1:
Nimr II [Wheeled Armored Vehicle] Algeria

so thats how you arrived at the 'plagiarism' part?

.
no offence bro but it seems sensibility always eludes you most times. How can you not read an article and you say its plagiarized?

.
Wonders...

When you say "No offense" make sure you at least know what the fvck you're talking about, otherwise you look like a ret@rd.

Firstly I didn't say it was plagiarism(didn't even mention the word), I said the judging by the title the 2 articles have a lot in common.......Which obviously they do since it revolves around the same subject.

judging by the your reply and that of MIKECZA the 2 response have a lot in common.......Which obviously they do since it revolves around the same subject.

so now you understand my response.
Don't take it personal.

frumentius:
Speaking of medium-lift helicopters, in 2025 we'll have to replace our 39 Oryx. We missed a trick by closing the production line and selling the un-used Puma air frames which could've formed the base for Oryx2. As it is, our current Oryx is on par with the latest Airbus H225M. With budgets being as niggardly, we won't afford the H225M.

2 choices really: new Mil Mi-17s which we would have to modify for African conditions (as we did with the Puma); or used Black Hawks which we'd also need to similarly modify.
Personally, I'd plumb for the slightly used carefully-chosen UH-60.

Any man who mentions the Mi -17 as a potential replacement of the Oryx should be charged with blasp..hemy, executed and his ashes fed to pigs.

The H225M should replace the Oryx in dribs and drabs while a local version is developed based on the H225M with feedback from the air force operating the aircraft.

Maybe a V-280 Valor type aircraft in the future.

They best equipped, trained and supported milltary in Africa with years of all most non stop combat experience fighting in Africa.

nemesis4u:


thanks

whats the caliber ?

well, during public expo they remove the machine gun and havent seen a pic during live firing exercise from close to identify the machine gun


but the turret is a Remote controlled weapon station UW 1 Norinco made locally under license , it can have the 7.62mm, 12.7mm or 14.5mm machine gun


pic : RCWS UW 1 Norinco
pic 2 : inside algerian nimr II

andrewza:

So we can say the United States has the beat military in the middle east, and one of the best in Asia?

Denel all ready has experience with the mi17, it carries a lot and with the right modification would be perfect. O ly issue is that the modification to both African proof and westernize the systems and logistics would cost a lot.


Personally I say go proper let's get the merlin.

alright bro... if it makes you sleep at nights

tdayof:

America does not physically own terrorty in Middle East or Asia. People forget France still has part of it in Africa that are seen has France. Has in people born there are French. Not just a few bases here and there but full on populations.

Russia has the best armed force in Syria followed by the Iranian Army then the Syrians come third in that order.

This is wonderful...

Iblawi, you are one sad horrible creature, there are countless of igbos here who are not from IMO state, there are also millions of igbos who never voted or supported your brother in stupidity(rochas)

Point me to atleast 60 igbos who have actually praised or shown support for the mess rochas is creating in IMO state.
You are such a disgrace to your well cultured tribe with deep rooted sense of respect and tolerance.

imbeci.le, I don't care what sort of sick stuff you come online to post in your past time, but you better not bring my tribe into any of it.

Part of France in Africa still considered as France? Please where's that?

lionel4power:

The Russians have a good record in Syria but damn these guys aren't reacting well to US provocations therefore making them look like a barking dog.

No Russian equipment please. I dislike them with passion, the Russians can't design nice looking things.

We rather get Uncle Sam... By the time those Oryx start falling off the sky, there'll be a new administration in power and probably the economy would have improved to increase the military budget. If you think about it, the only guy who was into Russia was JZ.

The solution would be, get rights to produce a Denel modified H225M and name it the Night Owl


I'll register the naming rights with CIPC, don't steal it.

andrewza:

they have : La Réunion, Mayotte, Éparses islands yes , But france is not an african country . egypt is the strongest african army there is no need to debate

Nigerian army

Thanks, never knew France also has some overseas territory.

However without Chad, Cameroon and others they won't be able to do much in projecting power if they have to depend on their overseas territory in Africa.
