sheyiofficial: The article dose not appear to be advancing our understanding of the current state of the fight against Bokoharam but rather seems like a piece reinforcing the US view that Chad is the military powerhouse in the region. The Nigerian initiative is failing on all fronts except the Chadian one. Perhaps the unspoken implication is that for the joint nation initiative against Bokoharam to succeed, Chad should be given full leave to enter Nigeria at will and do as Chad sees fit. ...in summery |

Buratai: Why Nigerian Army Fights Boko Haram with Refurbished Equipment The Nigerian Army on Monday said it has to revert to refurbished equipment to fight Boko Haram as modern weaponry and equipment are expensive. Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 2016 Combat Support Arms Training Week in Maiduguri, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai said the “acquisition of modern weaponry and equipment such as latest artillery guns, engineer bomb disposal equipment, cipher instrument to mention a few are quite expensive.” Buratai, who was represented by the Army’s Chief of Training and Operations, Major-General Hassan Umaru, said: “The Nigerian Army had therefore decided in its wisdom to refurbish and re-modify existing equipment to meet the realities of the times.” He added that: “This is what informed the tasking of the Special Vehicle Plant (SVP) located in Bauchi to undertake some daunting repair projects. Some of the vehicles sent there for re-modification or refurbishment have been certified serviceable for operational purposes and released to the end users.” He assured that: “We shall continue to look inwards and take advantage of our competences to navigate the dilemma of operational exigencies and inadequate government resources to procure new equipment.” He said: “This is required of us at this point in time. Needless to say here that equipment maintenance is the business of everyone. It is a challenge for us to maintain our equipment, which requires a change in attitude from each and every one of us.” He said having gone through the theme of the training, “Countering Asymmetric Warfare in the 21st Century: The Role of Combat Supporting Arms”, “I am confident that the topics and resource persons for the training week have been carefully selected to ensure professional capacity.” He added that there was no doubt that the outcome of the event would contribute positively to the decision making process of the Nigerian Army in its quest to effectively carry out its assigned constitutional roles |

Somalia: Airstrikes hit Al Shabaab base in EL Ade Unknown planes targeted Al Shabaab base with strikes late on Sunday night according to residents, Garowe Online reports. The airstrikes were said to be precise and could not hit civilian areas nearby, sources said under customary condition of anonymity. At least three fighter jets were seen swooping over the targeted base where Al Shabaab maintains militias presence. On January 15, Al Shabaab carried out a deadly raid on Kenyan forces stationed there, prompting a wave of pummeling by Kenyans. Somali government officials and peacekeeper sources have not officially commented on the fatalities from the aerial assault overnight. Drone strikes previously hit built-up areas by mistake, despite reported casualties being dismissed by Jubaland authorities. PM offers condolences Meanwhile in Mogadishu, Somali Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke has offered his condolences over the passing of army veteran late General Abdirahman Warsame Elmi (Are). |

bidexiii: This makes for depressing reading. Seems government is again hiding behind competing demands. You know, for sometime now, I've had the horrible feeling that this present government far from wanting to modernise the army and looking for modern fighter aircraft, has probably been fighting hard behind the seen to cancel the JF 17 aircraft contracts of the last government. America would like that. |
Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by bidexiii: 8:31am On Jul 26, 2016 |
Odunayaw: Of course they can't be here forever. instructors frm the tiers of the Nigeria military will take over after some time. |

if somebody wants to compare 2 aircraft's in terms of money then the most important parameter is the total life cycle cost. aircraft x unit price may be 50 million dollars aircraft y unit price may be 70 million dollars but this does not necessarily mean that aircraft x is cheaper than aircraft y. it is possible that the total life cycle cost which is calculated for the total operational life of the aircraft and includes maintenance cost , spare cost , overhaul cost , repair cost , (MTO) mean time between overhauls: no of times overhauls have to be carried out etc may turn out to be higher even for a cheaper aircraft . eg aircraft x total life cycle cost 110 million dollars (unit price 50 million dollars) aircraft y total life cycle cost 90 million dollars (unit price 70 million dollars) 1 Like |

Litmus: The jf17 is a done deal, sooner or later we will get the first three deliveries or even more who knows, There is no going back on the acquisition of those birds . And sorry if u don't mind correcting part of ur statement; " has probably been fighting hard behind the seen to cancel the JF 17 aircraft contracts of the last government". The acquisition first appeared in these year 2016 defence budget which includes : PROCUREMENT PLAN DETAILS THE ACQUISITION OF JF17 THUNDER/FC-1 MULTIROLE JETS, SUPER MUKSHAK TRAINER AIRCRAFT AND MI-35M ATTACK HELICOPTERS. |

bidexiii: Thanks for the reassurance and reeducation. I'm just desperate to see Nigeria ambitious and looking as if she means to fulfill her potential. |

My brother you are right but there is an aspect you are missing out and i will try to illustrate it like this: Imagine a poor man wanted to drink pap (Akamu or Koko) with milk. In the past this poor man would have had to find N1200 or so to buy a tin/refill pack of milk. For this reason he would probably end up not drinking the pap or managing it without milk. Luckily Wonderfoods (Promasidor) came up with small one-man dose sachets of milk for about N50 so that a poor man could also drink milk. From an analyst's point of view, that N50 satchet is actually more expensive than the refill pack if you check (total costs per unit) i.e. if you use those refill packs daily for 1 month, you will spend more money than if you close eye and buy the large refill pack. So back to fighter jets. while it maybe cheaper to buy a squadron of jets A over the life cycle, the prohibitive costs of initial acquisition of those jets may make it impossible for a poor country to buy them. They may prefer to acquire a squadron of cheaper aircraft - Jet B, though in the long term Jet B will cost more, but at least they are on ground from day 1 and provide presence in force, rather than maybe opting to buy the more expensive (but more economical jet A) say in batches of 4 each over a long period. nemesis2u: |

SergeAlain: What a funny illustration cracking my ribs right here but you've delivered a great message here mate....... |
Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by Henry24o: 9:34am On Jul 26, 2016 |
Litmus: This is certainly not true. The JF-17s are coming, we would get up to 26 units, then go for a light trainer complimented by the Super Mushak. The area where we would have to totally take out our minds is in battle fighting ships, Frigates and Corvettes, we won't be getting any of those anytime soon. Truth about the matter is, Defence equipment is expensive and the costs keep going up. Thank God for the likes of the JF-17, we surely wouldn't have been able to procure modern fighter jets in quality numbers. |

Odunayaw:nice one add ,most importantly polymer too , on a lighter note have so gotten used to iron Ak that it felt somehow using the beryl carbine at first . |
Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by bidexiii: 12:26pm On Jul 26, 2016 |
DEATHMACHINE: The dust/receiver cover is the part i hate the most on the AK's & even the beryl rifle, It's the first part that rifle gets rust and I hate the sight, look @ the beryl rifles they are already having the look also. Polymer is the way forward . |
Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by Henry24o: 1:17pm On Jul 26, 2016 |
DEATHMACHINE: The AK is old school. So are all NA specialised units equipped with the Beryl, and have there been any new deliveries about from the initial order? |
Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by Nobody: 1:59pm On Jul 26, 2016 |
Henry24o:that's the plan ,as for new deliveries I can't say thou |
Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by Henry24o: 2:11pm On Jul 26, 2016 |
DEATHMACHINE: I'm sure u most have atleast fired the Tavor-21, which do you prefer between the two of them( Beryl & Tavor-21)? |
Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by Odunayaw(m): 2:19pm On Jul 26, 2016 |
DEATHMACHINE:lol...do soldiers not register their preference (respectfully) to rednecks? |
Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by Odunayaw(m): 2:26pm On Jul 26, 2016 |
Litmus:lol calm down buddy...the daily cost of the war is enough to build some infrastructure So I understand the General's point of View. if it were @ d beginning of the war he said this...I would have just changed my nationality |
Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by Nobody: 3:33pm On Jul 26, 2016 |
SergeAlain: lol i understand your point of view but u must understand that my opinion was purely technical, a stand alone technical fact which is neutral and to the point, and did not include factors like national financial constrains , liability of sanctions etc so if u involve or include the external factors then the outcome changes as u correctly pointed out. u must forgive me because my views r based on neutral technical facts without playing to the gallery, i leave it to the readers of the different nationalities to mold / interpret my views from their nations point of view. again i agree with u since u factored ur countries constrains / previous experience to come to ur own conclusion. so i welcome and agree to ur view. on a funny note if i was a poor person which i am i would not buy Wonderfoods (Promasidor) small one-man dose sachets of milk for about N50, (it is just a marketing gimmick to increase sales and offers no significant nutrients benefit ) because if i am thirsty a bucket of water will do me good , a small sachet of milk will do me no miracles in terms of nutrients, while a N1200 jar of milk gulped down over a period of even 2 weeks with water added to it will do me lot of good quantitatively and qualitatively. on a serious note i still remember what it is to go hungry the solution was to take a cotton towel dip it in water , then squeeze out the excess water and wrap it around the stomach tightly. 100% guaranteed to stop hunger aches . good old days, miss them just sharing a experience wonder what the poor fellows in other countries do to stop hunger aches |
