Is Nigeria getting weapons to fight bokoharam or modernising it's arsenal because this is unfair to bokoharam gun trucks
The only advantage this has over rpg 28 is range and accuracy. The rpg 28 has same armour penetration and significantly cheaper.
It is really commendable and would help taking out technicals kilometers away.

Wanted to reply you but when I saw the full length of your comment I was scared to read it. It’s very tucked hot here in the Far north and am tired.
But here are my takes; in terms of precision weaponry the Su25 does not even get close to the tucano, likewise avionics, ISR capability, cost of maintenance and its endurance time.
[/b]Starting from next year the Super Tucson will be replacing a lot ground attack assets especially for the S.O.F in the Middle East[b]
The super tucano is a game changer and a beast for ground target should fear.

I am sorely disappointed, you have been a contributor here for a very long time.

My approach was methodological and substantive and quite specific, but you have not addressed one question or observation i made, you have just EVADED.

Its your choice.

You even go on to make future projections but founded on nothing, let me burst your future projections.

THE FUTURE in the Middle east is UAV that can give special forces Over-watch with 48 hour endurance and still deliver precision ordinances. Not the outdated A29, not even one USA Middle east partner has procured it. That should tell you something.

Taking a very expensive sledge hammer to kill a fly, doesn't make any sense. How much is one ATGM even as Chinese made cheapest will be around $35k, what is value of one of those rickety run down rusted pick up, maybe $400.

Poor strategy if you ask me.

China exports first hj-12 anti-tank guided missile to Nigeria. How did we miss this.

Sizzorkay:
I do agree with most of what you wrote, I said it before as well, to say the US couldn't defeat the Taliban is silly.
But i also wouldn't call the loss of over 2,400 US military personnel in Afghanistan minimal casualty, that's a lot of dead soldiers

With 775,000 deployment that's 0.3% KIA, I challenge anyone here to provide a better stats for a similar conflict in modern history.

Whyem15:
If only we can keep up with procurements like this, $1billion or more every year from ECA, but
Our neighbors are getting more aggressive and rude, particulary cameroon, and it is because of the support paul biya get's from france. Having a modernised military is the key to letting france know that we could decide to remove those puppets and nothing will happen because the french won't be able to project reasonable force within a short period in west Africa that will harm Nigeria.
Cameroon's armed forces is just a little above 14,000 personnel, chad;35000. And to think this puppets are already facing unrest in their countries.
Imagine cameroon sending men to arrest seperatist leaders in Abuja! All because of a few Exocet they were given by France.
I know it's fantasy though

bidex111:



And where did you get your starts from or source; before you start challenging anyone.

That's what Google is meant for.

Oshey.......Keyboard commandos!!!!

They won't see this.

When presented with facts, @Komken and his buddies....

jln115:
the SADF had a casualty(KIA and accidents) figure of 0.03% during the Border War.

lebuhsi:

Yeah I just thought I should share, guys here always talk about the Nigerian military incapacity to coordinate ops through comms, its nice to see that NAF have been capacity building ground forces since '17

Toju200:
oga we don get the MI17 and MI35M are u Happy now

Texman21:
what of Afghanistan did they steal it?

komekn:


How many did we get ❓

jpphilips:


You actually compared 30,743 SADF deployments with US 775,000 deployment?
I think the most difficult job in Africa is English tutor. Not mentioning your mathematical somersault that morphed 5.8% to 0.03%

komekn:


Is Afghanistan in the middle East.

Go back to my original write up read it again and try and understand it. Because if you did you would not be presenting this supposed question.
