It's not about that it happens elsewhere, so that should be an excuse for the NA. it's about your hypocrisy.

Irrespective of the shortcomings of the Nigerian military in the war against insurgency, people forget that the Nigerian military is deployed all over Africa.

In West and Central Africa, Nigerian troops are deployed in 8 countries. Cameroun, Chad, Niger, Mali, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Benin republic and Gambia.

In Gambia, Nigeria led that intervention. We paid for the operation, we deployed 1,200 Troops from the army, 400 Air Force QRF, 1 Navy Ship, SBS Special forces personnel and 6 aircrafts. The largest contributor.

So irrespective of our challenges, we would continue to be a military and political leader in Africa.

Look at the Nigerian Defence industry, it didn't exist in 2013, yet today we have become one of the leaders in military vehicle manufacturing in Africa.

We have made tremendous progress, well anyone who doubts can start of by naming the countries that have defeated Islamic insurgency in it's current form.

Paramount Group Mbombe 6x6 captured in Libya

3 days after it was delivered to the government in Tripoli, Haftars forces have captured an Mbombe 6x6.

We can clearly see from this photo the hull of the Mbombe 6x6 could not stop the round.

The 14.5mm round tore through the hull if the Mbombe.

what position would you place our defense industrial complex in Africa?

I've noticed how most times you always want to use [/i]wayo[i] to insult Nigeria. These kind of people behave like friends but laugh behind your back and might even stab you on the back. If the almighty US with billions of dollars in defence funding and a military industrial complex as compared to non could loose FOB's, military equipment and men to the Taliban, then I don't know why you should be "not at the rate of Nigeria military lol". Is your country helping in funding for the equipment?

which country is he from?

Are you not a simpleton? How does me, pointing out the fact make me a premium times advocate, I know your type of people, rather than face the hard truth you will give excuses and turn a blind eye instead of the required input to change the outcome positively , high service mongrel, it will interest you to know, I have paid my dues in the northeast, I have lost loved ones fighting there, I have friends that right after NDA, spent years in the north east, I have friends waking up screaming from sleep, I have friends that slept and woke up , strangling their wives, I have friends that cant sleep, unless they consume a bottle of cognac, then are backed out to bed, I have friends I grew up with and trained with still going to face this.....this will be and endless circle, unless status quo is changed.....but big idiot like you, that thinks he is the only patriot here, bloody bigot like you, patriotism isnt blind....... we are losing equipments at an alarming rate, who says I'm not happy about ARA?

You can make your point without being abusive.
We also thank you for your service.
Now read and I also need an apology from you because I wasn't abusive towards you.
The day the video was shown I reached to a flag officer.He was there for three years.
I have been on this blog for a long time.
I have been harshly critical of the NA .
This is one of my biggest bones of contention
I have hated with every fiber in my being the thin skinned vehicle it offers zero protection to our troops.
My friend was given a Ford ranger.
I don't understand how you wouldn't want our men to be protected by more armor., how the first thing out of your mouth is that more equipment for BH.
Tell me how does it feel when a truck drives over an IED instead of an MRAP.
Please answer the question no abuse .
Henry has screamed himself hoarse about MRAPS.
My Childhood friend slept with an AK47 between his legs every night.
He lost men and women
(That's for the idiots who talk sh&t about NA Women soldiers)
He is a lifer.
S/L, Liberia and BH.
He lives with it
Every f!cking day.
I am Dammn sure he would like to see more APC/ More MRAPS.
He also has seen some of his friends arrested/ retired for incompetence.
And what is sleep?
BH insurgency stretches across 3 States and 4 Countries how many FOBs are there?
How many firefights happen?
How many don't even get reported?
Let a FOB experience a setback .
Premium times reports it with breathtaking speed..From an an anonymous Senior Officer
Any Private would of dropped a grenade in the T55( most likely scenario) no only BH had the intelligence to do it .
I share your frustration deeper than you think or no but you don't need to wish or even say it out loud that we don't need equipment to protect our troops because it might fall into BH hands

Henry240:


We can dash equipment for Africa.

Why bother about losing equipment when FG would import a fresh batch next year?

Awa Oyel, Oyel money dey!!

And it bothers you if I am.keep ur negative mindset to yourself i beg. I have never and would never be happy about the lost of lives.What funnies me is that fact that people like you turn to think if it happens to others therefore why not Nigeria.

Hmm...oright.

Looks like a RPG hit.
14.5 won't leave a damage like that or a burn pattern. The hit on the left might be a 14.5 though.

Stopping a 14.5mm AP from the side is a bit too much to ask for a AFV. M1 Abrams have been done in by that round from the side and back. probably caused more M1 casualties than the T-72 in GW2.
It has about 2X the energy of a 50cal. Ad tungsten AP and you've got a problem. Only heavy IFV's in the 30+ton range can defeat 14.5mm from the side and that's just ball ammo. AP ammo for that round is quite ubiquitous. Mbombe weighs in at 16t.

Standoff and slat armor defeats RPG's 25-60% fo the time ,depending on who you ask. For the weight it adds, its worth putting on, but its not an insurance policy.
Some of the best measures against RPG damage is actually on the inside. Better ammo storage,spall liners and fire prevention systems helps a lot. There's been plenty of instances of whole crews walking away with fubar eardrums etc.

On a tactical level, when you get abused on a road like that, std. contact drill is turn into the ambush and fight your way through. Give them your front where you have the most armor, tell your driver to floor it and empty your ammo bin. If you're out of ammo, run them over where they stand.

Very likely caused by a RPG! Typically the actual entry hole produced by the RPG is very much smaller than its calibre. Best explained by this image:
