nemesis4u:kenya GSU recce lost two very skilled recce members in two different terror attacks.in the last operation when they were called to eliminate three robbers heavily armed with even an AK,held up inside an apartment,rather enter the apartment to clear it,they used fragmentation grenade. to clear the apartment,some times its better to use the unorthodox way |

newafricaken254: yeah , here in urban areas terrorist's when they cant escape get inside apartments, then troops pin them down and extract any civilians . after that plant a satchel charge and blow up the building and the terrorists inside. helps to avoid casualties on own side, there is a video i believe where the guys extracted a injured comrade and laid a charge , under cover fire they withdrew and barely they got out that the building got blow up |

An under-powered gun, but still the best armoured recce vehicle on the African battlefield. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFYzq5Wk2rI |

nemesis4u:couldn't they have entered thier jeep and bolted? I don't see the wisdom in staying back when you are outnumbered and out-gunned especially when you know holding the area isn't part of your mission objective. |

newafricaken254: No I mean a 50 cal SAW that could be used in a CQB... Not those big ass immobile 50 cals |

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 6:12pm On Mar 05, 2018 |
nemesis4u:cover, but they didn't get into the vehicles to leave. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 6:22pm On Mar 05, 2018 |
Henry240: ru sure , the red smoke was out before the guys walked into it with the car. these were popped before it was a marker for air evacuation or maybe support . if it was for cover they would have used it while retreating. and personally never heard of using red smoke for cover 2 Likes |

nemesis4u:Well, there's a first time for everything. I know the red smoke is usually used for evacuation, but we are talking about Niger, there is no American helicopter(s) in Niger, only French. I'm trying to wrap my head around the whole thing. |

abiodunalasa:Land of the Super Heroes That's actually funny, but it doesn't take anything from the bravery of the Americans though. The Russian pilot of the downed SU-25 was also incredible. He took his life defiant, upbeat and with a grin on his face. RIP to the big men in Nigeria who go down range against these goat fvckers! 2 Likes |

patches689: On the bolded, the Kenyans have recently bought Truvelo sniper rifles, and together with the Ugandans, will soon be spotted with NTW-20, Neopaw 20 and Y-3 bought for their Amisom mission by the Yanks. You heard it here first!!! |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by saengine: 6:59pm On Mar 05, 2018 |
Henry240: Red smoke being used as cover is from the news reporter in the story. I think they just assumed that's what it was meant for. In such an open area, it didn't cover anything. In my opinion these guys did not fully understand what was about to go down. They may have thought it was a few guys taking lucky shots until it was too late. |

nemesis4u: Air support came from the French. The French SF came in to push back the terrorist. Quick question: when you know that you can't provide a rapid response, why send them out? 1 Like |

Henry240: there is no hard and fast rule , becz the enemy will themselves use them to lure ur evacuation support assets into their killzone . the color for the smoke grenade for every specific task is decided before commencing the mission |

saengine:However, if you take a critical look at it, what was the red smoke for? "French helicopters?"............ They were not in the area until a couple hours had passed. The other guy running in front, was he the black soldier? The dude looked both white and black to me. When they finally got down, why didn't they retreat? There was no logical reason to remain in that area. That's my opinion. |
