Why do you like it?
From a military point of view, it's impractical.

this b@tch a$$ N thinks he knows it all.f ool can't even see those vehicle are spaced except two two that are parallel.littered with IED my a@@,do you think IED are mines !?

The stupidity of South-Africans, i'm not surprised.

This guy... What's an IED? Can't it be planted on the road like a mime? Doesn't it explode like a mine? Doesn't it have an explosion radius like a mine?

So tell me, what's the overage spacing between these vehicles in metres.? Then what would be a kill range of a counter-MRAP IED filled with sharpened metals?


Answer my questions or enjoy being ignored.

IED is a mine.

Just not rolled out of a factory.

@active kruger hey id@t can you see any feature that indicate that's a road,which your b@tch about.if you don't know anything about the sahara. stop your shenanigan

This very comment is why the US justifies AFRICOM and why France still maintains its colonies.

What the UN itself says about the roads in Mali.
And then some arsehole fanboys who've probably never fired a BB gun want to defend this breach of military basic common sense.

Yeah, cos the 2 are the same, aren't they?
Worked out the difference between MI-17 and MI-26 yet?

IED are crude weapon's,that even kill those who plant them.look at that desert and tell me where can you plant an IED and chances are it will strike an vehicle.i can see tire track marks just in front of that photographer

Nigerian military to explore space technology in security – CDS Abayomi Olonisakin

The Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel Abayomi Olonisakin, said yesterday that the Nigerian Military would utilize space technology in security the country’s territorial interest.

Olonisakin said the integration of space capabilities into the various military functions would give the Armed Forces of Nigeria and other security agencies an array of technological capabilities with multitude of effects to gain battle ground superiority against adversaries.

Speaking at the commissioning of the Defence Space Administration Office Complex and the Foundation Laying of Defence Cyber Operations Centre, at Obasanjo Space Centre, Abuja, yesterday, Olonisakin insisted that time had come for Nigeria to explore the space technology in the defence of its territorial interests in view of the changes in international and regional security.

“Given the changes in the international and regional security and geo politics of outer space, over the past two decades, there’s no disputing the need for Nigeria to utilize space capacities for securing her terrorial interest, “he said.

The Chief of Defence Staff, who noted that Nigeria was being faced with many internal and external ecurity challenges including cross border terrorism, ethnic crisis, armed banditory, crude oil theft, kidnapping and other criminal activities, said the commissioning of the Defence Space Administration Office was “another testimony to our determination to provide added capability to the Armed Forces of Nigeria in the performance of its constitutional roles.”

While noting that the” security of our people and by extension are national interest”, the Nigerian Defence chief added:”In view of the increasing utilization of defence space system for security purposes, the formation of a dedicated defence space establishment in Nigeria seems a logical step.”

He said the defence space establishment was not just that of adding theatre capability via space assets to the Armed Forces, but about developing a multi dimensional approach to using outer space for strategic purposes

The integration of space capabilities into the various military functions would give the Armed Forces of Nigeria and other security agencies an array of technological capabilities with multitude of effects on speed, accuracy, recession of information collection, strategic planning, decision making and integration of technology to gain battle ground superiority across the different forces and platforms,” he insisted.

Other identified benefits of the space technology, according to him, were in the areas of signal intelligence, navigational capabilities, battle field situation nay awareness, surveillance and communication capabilities.

Speaking further, he said it was pertinent to state that” cyber space technology which is part of Defence Space Administration mandate, has emerged as an instrument of power in society and it is becoming more available to a country’s adversary who may use it to attack, degrade and destroy communication and the flow of information.”

“Furthermore, the global range of cyber space and its disregard for national borders will challenge legal system and complicate a nation’s abilities to deter threats and respond to contingencies.

“Therefore, the establishment of Defence Space Administration is not out of place but in line with modern global best practices to be able to function effectively in a multi dimensional battle field, “he noted.

The newly commissioned Defence Space Administration has 74 spacious and fully equipped offices, four research laboratories, a conference room and other amenities.

He also regretted that cyber security threat have also become important security challenge that many nations were contending with.

“All these call for a huge defence space requirement and the need for integration of space technology for military applications, “he said.

He recalled that over the years, space technology has exerted profound influence on buman society, noting that during the Cold War era, space technology was arguably an exclusive preserve of the super powers as several satellites were launched into orbit to enhance their military capabilities.

“Since then, space and its items are regarded as critical elements of strategic elements of national infrastructures.

“In recognition of this, the federal government of Nigeria approved the National Space Policy and Programme in May 2001 as a guide for the use of space for national development and security, “he said.

Since when is spacing purely about IED and Mines?

this is the desert in mali,show me where is the road !?

newafricaken254:

A road can be any route used regularly and spacing is not only needed on roads.

andrewza:




Yeah 50m spacing for vics and on a flt open road like that 100m spacing would work

The 74 pages on the convoy ops field manual will have to be junked. Every decent military on earth is wrong. Henry and Alex say so.

Henry240:

The stupidity of South-Africans, i'm not surprised.

There you go again. This is between me, you, Activate and Alex. Try being an individual for a change, and leave that primitive tribal shyte at home.

newafricaken254:
they are off road in a F ING desert,are they supposed keep their lane !?nonsense

What is the stopping distance of a 4 tonne vehicle on loose gravel?

("Its not just for ambushes" was the clue you missed)

newafricaken254:
@active kruger hey id@t can you see any feature that indicate that's a road,which your b@tch about.if you don't know anything about the sahara. stop your shenanigan

You still haven't answered my questions. You haven't given me the difference between a mine and an IED. The estimated spacing between those vehicles and mostly a blast radius of a common IED..

All you do is to throw insults like you somehow suffer from internal pains. Who knows, it could be that time of the month......

Decent military convoys.

newafricaken254:

Doesnt matter if its a road or not - spacing is a safety issue.

Henry240:

The stupidity of South-Africans, i'm not surprised.

Weird, because the standard spacing for US Army vehicles, travelling in a convoy, on tarred highway, in the IED-free United States is 100m

Spacing between vehicles in a convoy is based on the type of convoy and traffic conditions.
Generally, in traffic to Camp Ripley, vehicles will maintain safe following distance of
approximately 100 meters. As travel speeds slow, this distance will be reduced

Are they stupid too?

....

tell me what the difference between this two convoys !?

newafricaken254:
tell me what the difference between this two convoys !?

None: they are both sh1t

ActivateKruger:


It's a desert highway you idi#t, that's the very desert road that's littered with IEDs. Of course I don't think you understand what spacing we're talking about.

IED littered desert... hahah foking hell You’re trying too hard man, don’t embarrass yourself.

You grab the point here is standard isn't always obeyed at all times.
