Absolutely amazing, this is how a special force should look. Hopefully Nigeria learns a thing or two from its neighbors.

Centrifude:
Well dude honestly that's mostly for Show hey, when you look at most special forces they don't wear all they're equipment like that, its more about training and skill then the amount of gear you have on you, when you look at the S.A.S the Seals etc... They hardy ever where identical gear, every guy dresses in the way he's most comfortable in, you find differences in weapons, battle vests some prefer armour and some don't.
Most S.Fs prefer to travel light preferring to carry more ammo the armour, and give up protection for better manoeuvrability.

But those dudes surely do look pretty sick.

Daverytimes:

Every thing that the ivorian have on is functional and while they might not have the training of the S.A.S or the Seals they got the functional kit down. Training is indeed good and it is indeed a major part of any Special Force, but if your SF are not properly kitted, if they don't have the proper food rations or the proper amount of ammo how are they going to survive. I have seen our soldiers in Nigeria fighting with flip flops, some of them wearing t-shirts with a vest on top. That is the height of negligence, there is nothing wrong with wearing different gear but there is a difference between different gear and no gear.

MikeZA: "Oga" Henry I think,you should encourage "passive patriotism". If I can use that phrase.

Unlike what we are seeing now,where other "African brothers" are bashed and forced into some "dic..k measuring contest".

Centrifude:
I guess what you're saying is very true I just hope that we don't get caught in the middle of all this B.S, we all have enough ish to deal with, but with everything that's been happening, U.S blocking Nigeria from buying weapons, it seems as if the more nigeria makes progress in fighting B.h the U.S do something to slow down that process, while on the other hand S.A politicians are bending over to Chinas will, and we're still waiting to see how the west is going to respond to this unexpected R.S.A & Russian Nuclear Power deal.

Where do get these from? is it an exercise or real operation?

Centrifude:

Lol Nah I highly doubt that its a real operation our guys don't actually use the Uzzi they only train with them, kinda like that whole thing of learning how to use different weapons just incase you encounter them during operations.

Centrifude: SANDF PREPERS FOR WAR

What I haven't been able to figure out is with Africa Stand by force and with the Intervention force Brigade, how exactly will they be able to be deployed? Because basically the Intervention force is a rapid deployment force deployed to avert a major crisis.... So what will be the threshold for there deployment? Every country in Africa has its own army that can atleast try fight its own enemies. I don't see a place in time where the AU or UN reacts quickly to a crisis with all its politics and bureaucracy . Eg. is South Sudan, even after more than 10,000 civilians are killed, no intervention has been deployed to date, even after the UN camps in S.Sudan were attacked by rebels, the two waring sides are still setting the conditions for dialogue.....
