Kudos to PMB for his efforts to rebuilding a strong military force after years of neglect. No good government can joke with its military except clueless. Nigerian military has been known for its strong resilience and fierce combat against any terror group in the past. Only dummies cannot see the good side of this new government...but only time can tell. LONG LIVE NIGERIAN ARMY! LONG LIVE BURATAI/BUHARI!! LONG LIVE APC!!! |

adeyemi2015: That's the best you've got? I understand poverty, education and exposure is your problem, so i will try to enlighten you. How can it be a good thing when the vehicle does not provide any sort of protection or tactical advantage for the soldier? If the vehicle had stealth, it probably would be ok, but BH soldiers would hear them coming for miles away. If it was me, i'd place my M240 or M249 on a line of approach and just open up my cone of fire at anything that approaches it or crosses it. I've done it before. Your mumu brain can never fathom the st.upidiy of this move and it never will. |

adeyemi2015: This is the height of it. How phucking re.tarded can you be? I am a veteran of both the Iraq and Afghan wars and you are quoting st.upid people who have the same mental deficiency as you to defend you dumb opinion. Really? 1. You don't have to drive over an IED for it to go off. All you need is someone with a cell phone within range. 2. A motorcycle has enough weight to trigger a mine. 3. How can a motor bike be 95% safe in the event it is hit by an IED? It is practically unsafe when used for normal everyday use and you want to test it against a bomb? No wonder our Soldiers are dying like chickens. 4 IEDs are not the only thing killing our soldiers. A well placed rifle aimed towards a soldier sitting on a bike will do as much damage. I wonder how people like you continue to exist. You are cheating the rest of us by breathing the same air we breathe. |

Re: Army Launches Combat Motorbike Battalion (see Pix) by DoctorMcgruff: 2:55pm On Feb 28, 2016 |
we still need to fix the issue of properly kitting our soldiers. We look all over the place with different soldiers wearing differing kits |
Re: Army Launches Combat Motorbike Battalion (see Pix) by Nobody: 2:55pm On Feb 28, 2016 |
banmee:So you think both Adminisher and Henry240 are stu.pid? If truly you are what you claimed to be; you should have died a Hero (instead of feigning death) just to be posting gibberish on a faceless forum! |

adeyemi2015: Feigning death? Where in my post did you read that? Lol....I guess comprehension is part of a long list of things that you lack understanding of. I also notice that you have not said anything logical so far. The Nigerian way. Easily dazzled by mediocrity. Dem see motor cycle dem begin trip. Just too s.tupid. |

adeyemi2015: [b]The effectiveness of being lighter and faster wasn’t lost on Lithuanian Special Forces in Afghanistan’s rugged Zabul Province who, in 2007, parked their armored trucks and cowboyed-up on high-powered Yamaha and KTM motocross bikes to take the fight to the enemy. In a place where the roads are littered with improvised bombs the move seemed risky, but five years later the Lithuanians were still in the saddle. “These motorcycles were our lucky card,” said Maj. Liutauras, the Lithuanian commander in Zabul last summer, who, like many special operators, prefers to be identified only by his first name. The Lithuanians’ first patrols in armored vehicles, were repeatedly ambushed by insurgents on motorcycles, he said. “They were able to reorganize and hit us hard again and again,” he said. So the Special Forces adapted. They acquired motocross bikes and set up a training area in Lithuania to learn how to maneuver in rough terrain, jump and chase down skilled enemy riders. The Lithuanians’ speed on the motorcycles quickly allowed them to chase down enemy observers and prevent ambushes. And the motorcycles were too light to trigger many of the Taliban’s booby traps, often set with heavy springs that allow civilian traffic to pass unharmed but detonate when a heavy armored vehicle passes. “We are risking a lot but this risk is measured,” Liutauras said, adding that his men often patrolled with just six bikes. “Our aggressiveness and our tempo and advance to contact is always a win.”[/b] www.stripes.com/news/soldiers-on-motorcycles-might-be-most-effective-in-afghanistan-1.224839 |

banmee: You too mumu. I made a post in bold in response to Adeyemi, go read it and clear yourself off your ignorance. The source is Stars&Stripes, a premier US SF magazine. |
Re: Army Launches Combat Motorbike Battalion (see Pix) by banmee(m): 3:59pm On Feb 28, 2016 |
Henry240: One thing for sure is stars and stripes will never suggest that nonsense. And it is not a special forces magazine, it a U.S military magazine. There is a difference. And if it is stars and stripes, post the link. I am not your average Nigerian. I actually know and have done what i'm talking about. |

Re: Army Launches Combat Motorbike Battalion (see Pix) by banmee(m): 4:17pm On Feb 28, 2016 |
Henry240: See my point about how stu.pid most Nigerians are? This mo.ron did not read the whole write up in it's entirety. And if he did, he picked the ones he wanted to butter his argument. “I can think of a lot of uses (for motorcycles) but the person designing the force would have to make a decision about taking the risk of having someone exposed and using speed for protection versus the much more methodical approach of the heavy vehicle.” This is an article about the LITHUANIAN army using this st.upid means of vehicular transportation to fight a war. The U.S army will always look for new ways to fight the enemy but will never trade in safety for speed or cost. When we deploy, we transport around in a stryker. The motto is, "death before dismount". There is no phucking way you get down from a place of protection and start prancing around exposed which is why our vehicles are heavily armoured. It is always a problem when you google and pick and choose what you want to help your argument. Show me anywhere where a successful army uses motor cycles to fight a war. No sane country does that. |

banmee: You are hopelessly retarrded! - Speed makes up for protection you m0ron. This is why SF's around the world use light vehicles. - speed,maneuverability, a small signature and situational awareness are its armor. The Article is about real world applications you fool! |
