The Indian Air Force (IAF) has signed deals with Russia worth about USD700 million for an additional 1,000 air-to-air missiles (AAMs) to arm its fleets of MiG and Sukhoi combat aircraft.

Military sources in Moscow and New Delhi told Jane’s on 30 July that the order for the AAMs, which was placed in early July, is for about 300 R-27 (AA-10 ‘Alamo’) infrared-guided (IR) or semi-active radar-guided, medium-to-long-range missiles; 300 R-73E (AA-11 ‘Archer’) IR-guided, short-range missiles; and 400 R-77 (AA-12 ‘Adder’) active radar-guided, medium-range missiles

Military sources in New Delhi said the missiles were being acquired under the Ministry of Defence’s (MoD’s) 10-I (Intense) provision, which mandates that all three military services stockpile ammunition and stores for 10 days of “intense warfare”.

Lol so 5 soldiers with uniform speaks about the others. all their famous so called generals have been wiped out and the government isn't using the airforce to tract them. This guys are a group of rag tag fighters high on marijuana or other drugs. Specialized in kidnapping, beheading and others. The Cameroonian government forces are also to blame because of the wrong handling of this crises from the begining with the burning of villages, and several other horrible attrocities. But lets be sincere my brother the government has won on all the fronts. Military speaking they are already defeated because even their so called strong holds are in government hands, politically its a total victory cause even the US House of Representatives just voted on HR 358 which states cameroon is one and indivisible and threatens those hiding and sponsoring these band of hooligans with the justice and no country recognizes their state, on the social aspect the people in those regions are now feed up with them, some villages where they were hiding have started capturing them and gving them to government forces. The Military has realise u need to win the heart first before anything, YOU CAN"T WIN A GUERRILLAR WAR WITHOUT THE POPULATION ON YOUR SIDE AND LETS BE SINCERE THOSE PICS ARE DATED CAUSE I RECOGNIZE SOME OF THOSE GUYS AND MOST HAVE BEEN KILLED SINCE THE BEGINING OF THIS YEAR.

YAOUNDÉ, Cameroon - A cardinal in Cameroon has lashed out at France over the ongoing ‘Anglophone crisis’ in the West African country.
Cardinal Christian Tumi, the archbishop emeritus of Douala, accused France of seeking to make sure the majority French-speaking Cameroonians assimilate the minority English-speaking population........“I was in Rome for the Synod of Bishops and the French embassy invited us for a reception; those of us who were from the French-speaking countries. So, I was there and one of the workers in the embassy approached me and asked me which country I came from. I told him that I was from Cameroon…he immediately told me: ‘We are very happy that you are assimilating the anglophones,’ which means that was the policy of France,” Tumi told the newspaper.

Where is "the rear" in this picture?

lionel4power:


There's a small path behind the trooper with the two rifle.

If I was the enemy I'll flank them from that direction.

jln115:

The camo scheme tho?

lionel4power:


No... you look closely, the SANDF soldier with the R4 is providing close protection to the MI-17 Chopper while the Tanzanian soldiers to the left are responding to enemy contact.

The soldier on the blue helmet (probably Ukrainian)on the right is covering that flank... now the SANDF trooper on the blue vest is facing his back to the enemy contact... (That's how they die ) because he just egressed from the chopper.

Anyway, it's a hot extract but at that particular moment, their rear flank is unguarded.
