Frumentius, you got hit by the anti-spam bot, and then decided to AWOL.

Centrifude:
@frumentius Welcome back man, we've all been wondering what happened to you. I honestly thought you got winged or something.

Patchesagain:


which is why the vast majority of armored vehicals bought by the Nigerian military during the war have been wheeled

Patchesagain:


Tracked vehicles are slower, require more fuel and logistics in general and are harder to fix when they break down.

Wheels = High mobility
.

africaken:
whats the name of that helmet and oxygen mask ?

agaugust:


They have many hundreds of tracked armoured vehicles already since 1980s, Nigerian military always had both types. Most of the new purhcases are MRAPs that only come wheeled not tracked. The hundreds of T-72 MBT and BVP IFV are all tracked new purchases. We have both , we buy more of both, that is an all-terrain balanced army.

agaugust:


Your high mobility = ZERO mobility when your tyres are stuck in mud

STop what ?, I think you should post pictures supporting ur claims too ? @ least av posted few pictures showing ur chadian forces who are the best in desert warfare and experienced using wheeled armored vehicles !
Go to the youtube or google pictures from USA "operation desert storm" or "Battle of 73 Easting" -read about it, only abrams and bradley armored tanks and vehicles where used so what pictures do you want unless if you don't have access to the internet !
You should stop showing the world of ur ignorance !

The name on the helmet in Russian translates as Yakubu.

The name of the Pilot is Yakubu. The Nigerian Airforce doesn't operate any Russian jets at this moment.

craziebone:


you speak russian?

Henry120:


They've always been very active in COIN operations. However, they are mostly based in Yola instead of Maiduguri.

* I'm referring to those used for COIN in the N.E.


I just hope we can sign a deal for a proper 4 GEN fighter soon. I favour the J-10B over any other fighter in the market, but it looking increasing likely that we are going to get the JF-17.

Henry120:


Да. как вы сегодня утром?
