EricBloodAxe: Once more, this government condemned the last one for making use of PMCs. They would have to swallow their pride and make this move. Honestly, i dont see this happening, rather the status quo would be maintained. This is why we should aqcuire these platforms in large numbers rather than in small piece meal. 20 of the MI-35M wont hurt our economy. Good luck to our servicemen on the war front. 2 Likes |

nemesis8u: If it was not mechanical failure, they obviously did not use the full capabilities of MI 35M. They did not use their sensors adequately and/or they were probably starved of standoff weapons like longer range Iglala missiles on this mission. They used MI 35M chopper like MI 35P Thats a lot of young lives and USD35m down the drain. 1 Like |

nemesis8u: Exactly. In a sane world $35 million should mean nothing to the Nigerian economy, we should be able to purchase 25 of these helicopters or even the Mi-28 at a go in multi billion dollar contracts, but in Nigeria the military isn’t given that level of importance of priority. 3 Likes |

nemesis8u: When the men tasked with ensuring that a conflict comes to an end start to benefit from said conflict then said conflict will not come to an end. If I was the Buhari, I would make sure it was in the interest of every Nigerian for Boko Haram insurgency to go away for good... war is a very powerful political and economic tool! 2 Likes |

jakeporeshenko: 25 orders per year in the next three years wouldn't be a bad idea.This piece of flying beast has proven to be a reliable asset in times most needed. We could adopt the MI-35M as the A-Jet of the NAF rotor asset. With 75 of this in our arsenal, our overzealous neighbors would have a rethink in attempting any tank invasion across our large expansive land border. Training of our airmen wont be a problem as there are lots of countries that are combat familiar with this machine. 1 Like |

nemesis8u:Yeah I saw it, it’s a heavy accusation and I’ll delete soon but how do you explain the defensive nature of the NA ? So unwilling to finish the fight, deal the decisive blow. The counterinsurgency efforts in this country seem too sustainable and that’s a bad thing! A conclusive offensive should be planned and carried out. 1 Like |

Gentle men, I have led this argument for PMCs as military advisers for about a decade now. If you are not at the war front in the north east as we speak, you can save the insults. I see iswap' assault on northern Nigeria, the same vein as ISIS assault on the Iraqi and Syrian armies. Both armies are better than NA, were nearly overrun but for the infusion of mercenaries and military advisors with NATO then eventually Russian air forces in tow. US green berets and Iranian quds force and eventually Russian spetznaz. So since nigeria is not as important to the powers that be as Iraq, us and U.K. May do training,but nothing more. They would Not even approach what the French routinely does for her west African allies. This were a reputable PMC comes into play as embedded advisors. To properly deploy and utilize the tools that we have in the most effective way. This could be STTEP or Eric prince blackwater NA would benefit greatly from training and advice in the field 4 Likes |

jakeporeshenko:I think that if the government wants to embark on an all round rearmament programme, they will do it without hassle. Heck, the executive pulled out $1bln for weapon purchase last year and NASS couldn't do shiit. I just hope this Buhari performs better in his second term, because, like you said and like we have been saying for years, there is nothing wrong in investing $3bln per year on our military for the next 10 years. We can afford it, so why not. Another thing is, I don't understand why the military brass cannot go in front of NASS and beg for funding. It's not their job to be keeping malice with Saraki or Dogara, it's the job of the politicians. 2 Likes |

doziex: I see someone who has solutions. This is what am saying...our military top brass has failed. We can keep on budgeting huge sums for more Sophisticated arms and platforms but does it change the outcome in the battlefield? We need help from outsources.

doziex: Nothing wrong with bringing in mercenaries to train specialized units of the army. I think STTEP trained a special taskforce in 2014, that unit was very crucial to the famous 6 weeks offensive. I think they used South African made Reva MRAPs and were very feared. We haven't heard of them these past years. We can replicate that on a more massive scale, what these guys need is proper training. Bring in the mercenaries, let them train for 8 months and then equip them, we will see results. But allowing mercenaries fight is what may not go down well with people,especially since this government wasn't in support of it when it was introduced. They will certainly be reluctant to call in mercenaries. 1 Like |

Money has never being an issue in Nigeria, If FG is serious in raising solid fund to buy equipments and invest in personnel training they have to think outside the box, like I suggested here before, FG can secretly raise humongous funds from the citizens in a way that nobody will know or feel it. Example: put a tax of say, N2 for every liter of fuel, we consume 60million litres daily which equals to N120m per day, in a year we will raise an equivalent of $120m from that product alone, then we can do same for all online transaction let's say N5 for every transaction both foreign and local walahi the money we will generate will totally revamp the military effortlessly in 2018 alone online transactions to the tune of N90trillion was made across all platforms now do the maths. With that our troops can get the best of training any nation can think of, get the best of equipment any country can boast of, all these are only possible when we think outside the box, $1b is too miserable to build a 21st century military from the scratch, infact we need to spend that much year on defence alone for the next atleast 7years to measure up with other militaries even in Africa before talking about the world. We need leaders both political and Military with sound ideas. 1 Like |
