61Mech, your old unit entering Durban for Armed Forces Week.

61mech:
What are they called now ?
As I understand 61 disbanded.

frumentius:


Yep. And then absorbed into both 1SAI and 8SAI.

Patchesagain:


There is a unit missing under "light infantry"

21 or 22 S.A.I I believe it is.

frumentius:


Oh ja, 21 SAI, based out at Doornkop. That's odd, they should be there instead of the 3 Reserve units.

Hi Patchesagain, I am interested in the dawn period of the European Renaissance and the factors that birthed it.

For the purpose of preventing a derailing on this thread kindly use the Technical Discussion thread of Nemesis2u to explain the correlation between the black death/bubonic plague and the Renaissance. Mention me when you do. I am excitingly waiting for your thoughts (hopefully Nemesis2u will oblige on his thread).
Thank you.

Henry240:


My comment is pretty clear, I stand by it. I'm not going to have a back and forth discussion on this.

Henry240:


Yeah, that's another area, border patrol. I hope the vehicle gets mass produced, there is so much to gain.

Patchesagain:


What differentiates them from Moto Inf?

jakeporeshenko:
Nigerian AFSF

Patchesagain:


Seems your boys were trained by GRU GSh, which is weird because they are military intelligence and belong to the GRU

One would expect that they would have been trained by SSO VS RF because that is the umbrella for the rest of the Russian Army/Navy/Aiforce/Missile Command special forces.

frumentius:


Nothing really. The idea was they'd be Unconventional/COIN specialists. Our structure is an untidy mess and I can't wait for some real change.

I'm in agreement with the guys at ADR on our ORBAT:

Shouldn't this job have gone to your Naval Yard or domestic companies? We're talking about 24m and 35m patrol boats after all.

the Intelligence aspect was the reason for the travelling out

if DEATHMACHINE comes online

Please let me know where this link is.....or share it here please....I would love to be a part of this

Henry240:


The boats were ordered in 2015, I know one of the admirals who visited Ocea in France. When they were ordered Karaduwa was still under construction.

The Nigerian Navy is building a bigger SDB, so, no sweat. There are also smaller John Holt Nigeria Patrol boats under construction. 20 units or so.

Henry240:
I just saw a video the Nigerian military's Beryl assault rifle firing in full auto ,beautiful sight to behold.

That rifle's recoil is virtually non-existant.

Nice.

Deathmachine is a Jaji instructor who is a regular in this thread. That's about all we know about him............ Okay, he also recently got a promotion in the army.
