Image of a group of army forces officers in #Sinai wearing the new armor with different levels of protection.

The photo shows clearly how any person using this armor can customize and modify the level of protection by adding more protective plates easily according to each task.

Rwanda defense force annual field training exercise, they basically shot the shorn out of some static targets with artillery and ATGMs.

Mauritania, This is probably the only DC-3 in the world with such an extensive ISR configuration. I wonder how sensible this is economically given the lifespan of DC-3 today.

Rwanda is now operating Chinese PCL-09 122 mm wheeled self-propelled howitzers.

Engineer Corps use this. Totally impractical in a combat scenario.

Then again, what do I know? I'm only a Saffer.

Nigeria still using alpha jet trainer.They should try and get better CAS planes such as the old a10 thunderbolt and su25 instead of using trainers.

bidex111:



Nice pictures.

I love the idea of mounting ATGM on the Okota APC, very innovative.

bidex111:



Wow.....

In 2013 it was estimated that approximately 2,000 DC-3s and military derivatives were still flying, a testament to the durability of the design.

Thunderbolt yes but US won't sell. The upgraded and refurbished ones are also very expensive.

Refurbished Alpha night vision NVG jets are better for Nigeria. Just $5m per piece, another $50,000 to arm and pilots are just waiting.
For the SU 25, it is very irritating the way some people go on about this armoured, heavily armed, ground attack plane as if it is just available for pick up in a show room.
Everything looks possible and easy when you are commenting on social media.
There are no more SU 25s avail able except Russian, Czech and Ukraine stocks...maybe Libyan stocks too (LOL).
To get those few planes, extend their lives, upgrade them, arm them, train pilots et.c will cost $80m each and we will get them in 2022. It is absolute rubbish for Nigeria to be trying to buy SU 25 . The deal won't even work. The last one was through Israeli firm ELBIT, they charged about $50m per plane. I am sure, all the engineers who were participating in this upgrade offerings have been disbanded and moved to other more exciting projects.

Yak 131 is a much better alternative but even then we must remember that Russian is under partial sanctions. We may not be able to pay for the plane in foreign currency as all transfers for defence purposes through international banks are under watch. We could pay with crude oil but Russia has more oil than Naija.

Imagine a tiny vehicle like this taking out several million dollar tanks with the help on an ATGM purchased for a few thousand dollars, the future of warfare is crazy, just take a look at the situation in Yemen today.
