Oh, sure, because of the terrain let’s choose a gumbo ots over a combat boot even though it has worse traction, does not fit well which will obviously lead to feet problem, less breathable also. Ignore the obvious that combat boot are made for all terrain even wet jungles and can be waterproof to.

Rational thinking there buddy

I have a deep feeling Mossad is behind this.

jl115:
bro, you think he is wearing $10 gumboots?? Again use some of that gray matter!

Shaytun:


I could care less if the gumboots is $1M, fact of the matter is , we are looking at a deployed soldier in an active combat zone with an inefficient equipment.

Since when are gumboots insufficient? You ever been on deployment in the DRC?

Im guessing the US army, French Army, Swedish army ect ect.....oh yes and off course the Nigerian army all have a shortage of boots? Well to be fair the Nigerian army it might be true

Shaytun:


Lmao, so the incompetency of the Nigerian army is an excuse for the SANDF to be incompetent as well

I didn’t know your armed force manual is derived from the Nigerian Army.

I guess you missed the part where I also said US army, French army and Swedish army?

i posted this pic a while ago of kenyan troops in drc
check the footwear.
im very sure these soldiers have standard issue boots, im guessing they do this in non combat situation in fixed positions like camps because of the muddy Congo environment, regular boots would sink and absorb water causing foot hygiene problems

in the pic you can see a soldier with a regular boot, the difference in protection is clear

The airforce is so luck to have added this dedicated platforms, how I wish the army will be this lucky interms of more modern equipment & quantity.

Luck? Far from it.

Both NAF and NN have made their short-medium-long term vision known since even the wind down of GEJ administration and they have stuck to it. We don't see same for the Army.

NTSA:

Do the various services operate independently? ...In my opinion I think The Nigerian Military as a whole is doing just fine at the strategic level which is evidenced by the numerous hardware acquisitions.

kabe1:


The M346FA and the JF-17 have similar capabilities. I wouldn't go for more JF-17s.

[/b]I think we should look at the J-10C instead. We need Aircrafts with good stand off capabilities[b]
