Eta22seconds: Lol. I was thinking you would say Algeria. I love the specs of the Koalitsiya. It's a sexy vehicle and state of the art in all respects. However, I would take a single Jobaria rocket system over a platoon of the 2S35. 1 Like |

persius555: Mobile Police are in the Northeast . Mobile Police are usually part of the Military convoy movements here in NE. Tho it's quite risky posting lots of them here if they don't stay in the trench with the Military. When BH attacked an FOB in Gajiram, it was just one of the BH Guntruck that brought down the police station killing three Mob police and abducting two. The police in thier numbers cannot engage someone using a DSHK with AK47. 6 Likes |

Xbee007: Actually, there are noisy and not-so-noisy helicopters. The major noise source in a helicopter comes from its tail rotor. Using a Fenestron tail rotor or a NOTAR means you can eliminate most of the noise associated with a helicopter. So, yes if you are in such helicopters going hard and fast you can easily surprise your enemy and eat his ass. 2 Likes |

Jimi24: My apologies, but you don't appear to understand how weapon and aircraft acquisition works. Say I went and bought a hundred F-22s, that would be very nice, right? However, not all of the aircraft can be available for missions at all times. Aircraft availability is never 100% and varies widely. So, if I want the greatest possible aircraft to be available for missions, one way to do that is to buy as many as possible. So, buying a hundred F-22s and supposing they have a 70% availability rate means around 70 will be available at any time. Buying only 50 of those planes and with their availability rate means less than 40 available at any one time. That sucks. And that's why I can never be a fan of the NA buying weaponry in trickles from every country on the globe, when it should be buying in quantity. You are also right- buying hardware does not make you powerful. You need to know how to use it to be powerful. That is the main reason the Arab countries have never been able to defeat Israel, because Israelis train harder than anyone else and value competency, while the Arabs value nepotism, corruption and loyalty to the regime above everything else. Give the Arabs an F-22 and give Israel biplanes from World War 1 and they will still win, because they are superbly innovative and competent. I don't like them, but I do respect them. That's also why little Chad was able to beat Ghaddafi silly during the Chadian-Libyan war. And capture huge quantities of materiel. As for ISIS in Iraq, the Iraqi army at that time was corrupt and inept to the limit. There were more than a few ghost soldiers, added so money could be made. The Iraqi soldiers lacked the will to fight and were very poorly led. They abandoned perfectly good M1 Abrams tanks in the face of ISIS advances, even though ISIS lacked any notable anti-tank weaponry bigger than RPG 7s. They just ran because they didn't want to fight at all and it wasn't what they signed up for. 2 Likes 1 Share |

#PressRelease OPERATION HADARIN DAJI AIR COMPONENT DECIMATES ARMED BANDITS CAMPS, KILLS 135 OF THEM IN AIR RAIDS CONDUCTED IN KATSINA AND ZAMFARA STATES 1. As part of the renewed offensive to rid the North West of the Country of armed bandits and other criminal elements, the Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI has decimated several camps and neutralized no fewer than 135 armed bandits in massive air raids executed at several locations in Katsina and Zamfara States between 20 and 22 May 2020. The air strikes were undertaken sequel to credible Human Intelligence (HUMINT) reports as well as series of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions that led to the identification of the camps, which include Abu Radde Camps 1 and 2 and Dunya in Jibia and DanMusa Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Katsina State as well as Hassan Tagwaye’s Camp; Alhaji Auta’s Camp and Maikomi in Birnin Magaji and Zurmi LGAs of Zamfara State. 2. The air interdiction missions were painstakingly undertaken by the Air Component as it dispatched its attack aircraft to the locations in multiple bombing runs, some of which were executed simultaneously. At the Abu Radde Camps on 20 May 2020, a set of huts housing one of the notorious bandit leaders was taken out by air strikes with scores of the bandits killed and few seen fleeing with gunshot wounds towards the Dumburum Forest. Similar air raids were executed at Hassan Tagwaye’s and Alhaji Auta’s Camps as well as at Maikomi with equally devastating effects. HUMINT reports later confirmed that no fewer than 135 bandits were neutralized by the series of air strikes at the various locations. 3. The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS) commends the Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI for their professionalism and directs them to remain resolute, in order to achieve the directives of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) to restore normalcy to all parts of Nigeria.

There was an argument between I and my colleagues sometime ago. It was an issue on why military Gunners on Hilux mostly carry a bell beside them. I was of the opinion that they ring it just to create alert, but my colleague said the dudes ring it sometimes so they can hear properly . That the Gunners due to gun sounds have become partially Deaf. Military dudes over to you guys 6 Likes 1 Share |

(1)We retired the Jaguars because there was nothing for it to fight. Retired our Combattante missile boats because there was no surface threat. Retired the Merlin anti-submarine helicopter because there was no submarine threat. We retired the MiGs because there was no threat. https:///33X3b64Skz The thread on twitter worth reading . Really sad . Heavy corruption in the military starting from 1980 that saw a lot of Generals, even Colonels become owners of large tracts of lands for farms and billions in real estate and stashed cash, led to the neglect of this vital equipment.once bitten twice shy. https://twitter.com/DefenseNigeria/status/1264062629007556608?s=19 7 Likes

komekn: Don't blame the Airforce for the army's problems. The Army has the Biggest budget of the three tiers and seems to even want drone helicopters. Concerning acquisitions it is one thing to make aquisition it's another thing to run a competent airforce from those aquisitions. Each time you buy a ship,aircraft or weapons system you don't make yourself, you raise the recurrent expenditure astronomically,if care is not taken your army could become impotent from aquisition. Capacity is important but capability and competence is just as important. In terms of recurrent expenditure a twin engine like an su27 is almost twice as expensive to run and train pilots competently as a single engine fighter. Where you have six competent pilots you could have had 12. There is a reason why our airforce has been flying thousands of sorties in the last 5 years while some African nations pilots are earth bound. If you want better weapon systems for our armed forces,tell the House of assembly to cut their stupendous salaries. 3 Likes |
