If NAF doesn't begin to do Air-Ground assaults with the Army, they'd keep scratching the surface

but it's true oh. Dog tags are not meant to be seen. Ever seen a US soldier with a visible dog tag in this modern era?

Well done Ghana!

"Ghana’s Parliament approved $86,1 million in government loans to fund acquisition of 19 armoured vehicles from Israel’s Elbit Land Systems.

In terms of the agreement, Elbit Land Systems will supply nine 8×8 Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs) equipped with Elbit Systems UT30 30 mm remotely operated turrets. The order includes ten 6×6 IFVs fitted for reconnaissance operations.

The acquisition will help Ghana’s military realise long-delayed establishment of two new armoured regiments to be based in Sunyani and Tamale.

In August, the Ghanaian Army elevated 2 Independent Reconnaissance Squadron of the 153 Armoured Regiment to create the 154 Armoured Regiment. The 153 Armoured Regiment is set to remain under GAF Central Command in Sunyani when the new 154 Regiment moves north to Tamale to provide armour support to GAF Northern Command in Tamale.

Planning is underway for the establishment of the GAF 155 Armoured Regiment. The establishment of GAF armoured units is delayed by a lack of funds, logistic equipment and weapons platforms."

Why?

they are for identification during emergencies such as blood transfusion. For identifying the dead, and other similar purposes. It's not a necklace. Some wear it inside, other wear it on their boots.

Necklaces are also worn inside shirt . Wearing those tags outside shirt does not redact purpose. You’d be more convincing arguing west invented dog tags, therefore do as the west does and wear dog tags inside shirt. Or, they are more liable to be torn off and lost wearing them outside shirt.

I presume you are talking about the AK 47, in this case it us very obvious despite these basic rifles being everywhere, you have never shot one.

Otherwise you would not say this Balderdash.

What's the effective range of an AK47, almost all our AK47 don't have optics sights, considering the heavy recoil and the steel sights.

I can assure you even a highly trained SF operative will struggle with accuracy at 300 metres with a rudimentary AK 47.

Good u acknowledge some aks do have sights eh.
The effective range of a quality AK is 350 metres
But the realistic and commonly accepted is 300
U enjoy complicating fact to prove points.
Unfortunately for ur line of argument, with enhaced sights, good wind (of course) marksman can accurately hit targets between 280-300 metres away, all things been equal...

this is not a case for argument. It is about ethics, dignity and military uniform style, dogtags contain serious information pertaining to your death, so why should you reduce its worth down to a necklace for show. Besides it is safer having it inside as it can survive an explosion better. It's just like wearing your birth certificate or obituary on your neck for all to see. It does not make sense. It is neither an ID nor a badge. Unless that is not a real dog tag, because I haven't seen any other person wearing it before.

That's entirely under a controlled environment, such as a shooting range. If you add ammunition quality then those figures can have huge variations.

If you consider a change of environment i.e. ambush, fire fight, etc. Where you may get half a second to zero into you target and you are fighting for your life, then you are taking effective range of 100-150 metres maybe less. It really depends on training and mental composure of the combatants.

I have watched Nigerian security forces personal engaging with armed robbers. They didn't even flick up the steel sights on the AK47, shooting wildly. There effective range was less than 100 metres.

However, put on an optic sight and you can talk of effective range in a fire fight environment of 300 metres. But not neccesarily with an AK47 the recoil is too much.

But a definitely with an AK74, or a number of other modern assault rifles.

But all these permutations can be completely mitigated be exceptional combatants. You will be shocked what a Russian Spetsnaz can do in a fire fight with a rudimentary AK47.

Summary,

A weapon is only as good as the personnel using it.

This end sars protest is finally getting out of hand. I think it should now come to and end. We have pass a strong message, now let's give the government a chance.


When is time for election, I expect most of this people to come out and vote, not to sit in their house and start to dey talk rubbish.


The ondo governorship election, the turn out is not even up to 50%

what I said before it should have been relaxed.....
Now things are getting out of hands.
Almost the same thing that happened in the US during black lives matter protest that prompted Trump to use military action.
It Is almost the same that is happening now

I stopped supporting the army long ago. I am just here for pictures because i like it.

I have said it before, being a soldier in Nigeria army means you will be ready to kill for the government when they want. You can't be a good soldier under an evil government!

never the less it's getting out of hand and it should be stop for now
More lives will be lost to both Military and political thugs.

If care is not taken I smell an arms embargo on Nigeria.

We have pass a message with our protest, why can't we wait till 2023, and vote for other parties instead of PDP or APC.

We can do it through the ballot box, is not necessary we do it through fighting and rioting. 2023 is not so far away... The same Nigerians that wants revolution are the same people collecting 5-10k from Akeredolu and the APC. The same Akeredolu that increased school fees by 100% and ordered soldiers and police to crackdown on students protesting.

Why can't we start a revolution through the ballot paper?

I'm telling you. Tension is really getting high sef all over the country. I just watch video of a man that was shot dead in oye ekiti, and have seen that of lekki toll gate.

It seems people are not ready to back down, things is going to get more bloody.

I smell arms embargo loading on Nigeria Defence Procurement in particular the tucanos and the aero wasp drone procured by Dhq

Let there be peace, it is only those who are alive live to fight another battle.

There is limit for everything, they should stay off the street for now.

As for me, I'm not partaking in any protest again. I will channel my energy in voting a better candidate in 2023.

With what I have been seeing in ikorodu for the past 2-3 days, the protest don turn to something else. I wish our people can just lay low and give the government a chance, even though GMB is a useless person.

The problem we have is that they are all the same irrespective of the affliated party they are. People just voted based on tribal and ethnic interest.
