Henry240:

I think i might have found a vehicle that's very similar to the Hornet. It's Polish.

Wirus Reconnaissance/ Fast Intervention Vehicle.

Ibrahimanis:
I know it's inconsequential, but what really pisses me off after the video itself is the title. Especially that word "elite". Imagine every one who watches the video thinking "so that's how Nigerian elite soldiers looks like"

iblawi:

The only thing YOU celebrated not WE.

I wonder if you guys remember the sins of Alex Badeh.

The same Chief of defence staff that was accumulating the salaries of dead soldiers, or the 1 buying 3 used and unserviceable mi24 for over $130 million and still had to remove parts from our old mi24 helicopters before the could work.

I still believe that guy might have been killed by angry soldiers.

joshingjosh:




After watching the video, I understood that the elite their are talking about doesn't really mean special forces kind off...it's just that they are assigned specific duties which is to protect the president and the FCT.... My own view though

61mech:
Do you know the backstory on this incident ?

61mech:
I'd say the GDLS Flyer is more analogous to the Hornet in concept.
Looks much more capable off-road than Hornet, but might be longer and heavier.
Does anyone know if the SANDF has ever lifted Hornets with Oryx in exercise or airdropped from a C-130?
I've never seen a pick, but I remember seeing a Wasp/Hornet in a airdrop cage type setup.

Bus war

War in Angola

The Nigerian army fighting in Angola during the border war, captured South-African soldiers.

Two of these men were flown to Lagos and Displayed to the media in Nigeria.

I don't find this funny, seriously,
The training ain't easy.... I pray God guide him through...it ain't easy at all, only God knows where he has been running from and subsequently going to, or even the psychological torture he has been through...
I pray God guide, protect and reward him accordingly

The instructor was being very nice trying to tell him to walk just a few meters to the truck(ambulance) where you can see a medic coming out to take care of the guy.... The recruit was the last guy in his team, You have to be broken down then remodeled into a tougher soldier who can be depended on. How do you expect him to pursue his enemies for days in the jungle?

Anyway, I have never enrolled for recruit training but I have been in a certain club where you are divided in groups each with a map and a compass and then each group has to navigate for like 4-5 days for like 70km then 100km then 150km ....etc and record everything in between to make sure you dont cheat and take a shortcut.... most of the time the locations of these tasks would be in very mountainous regions .. After day two of climbing mountains, hills, valleys, bushes, rivers and then having to cook our own food in the bush, some guys used to completely breakdown like the guy in the video, grown up men would cry so hard and start wishing their mothers were there.... Every-time I went for another expedition I would be cursing the whole time and swearing I would never be back for any other expedition...... But a week/month after every expedition I would be laughing off at how much fun it was and eager to sign up for the next expedition...... Thats why I laughed so hard when I saw that video, It reminded me about the fun times..

I know you guys are having a rough time, but there is no point in coming on here and making up history.

Nigeria played no meaningful role in angola and certainly weren’t involved in the Southern Front.

Like everyone else, you're entitled to your opinion.

Geronimoe:

Oh! So Nigerian soldiers fought in the Bush war too? The South Africans try sha for them to be able to resist such amalgam of armies.

patches689:


They didn’t

Henry120 is doing his usual thing and trying to deflect attention from problems at home by trying to start a fight

His mistake was in assuming that the SADF and SANDF does not keep detailed records of who was captured where, when and by whom.

Henry240:

You're such a rambling buffoon.

I should take-down a historical image because it hurts your feelings?

Are you ok in the head?

I don't deflect anything in Nigeria. Look at my previous comments.

This is my last comment to you.

Nigerian army

joshingjosh:



Looks more like Navy SBS...take a close look at the logo on his arm

ignant:
The Nigerian Air Force ran direct operations in the Bush War. They flew weapons to the rebels in the Bush War and provided interdictions.

The Nigerian government also provided large funding and other logistics.

I must not fail to mention the great role played by Cuba. They contributed to the resistance of Southern African countries against the criminality of apartheid South Africa.

ssaengine:
People must rather focus on why their army constantly runs away and gets overrun, as opposed to posting fake news. Even after being corrected & told where, when and by whom these men were captured, you continue. Shame.

Henry240:

Quit being a coward.

African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread

Apartheid report over pictorial evidence of captured South-African soldiers in Lagos, Nigeria.

You're pretty much very dull!

Henry240:

Until that photo, i didn't know the Nigerian army operated in Angola.

I was only aware of the Air Force.

I can't remember the source, but i think Nigerian MIG-17s were deployed in Angola.



"The Nigerian Air Force have a long and proud history of operational deployment outside Nigeria dating back to the 1970s when Nigerian MiG 17 pilots and engineers were deployed to Angola by the regime of General Murtala Muhammed following the detailing/eventual transfer of a squadron of MiG 17s and the gift of US$20 million to the fledgling MPLA government of Dr Agostinho Neto, in January 1976. This followed swiftly on the heels of the delivery of MiG 21MF jets to the NAF in December 1975.

Thereafter, NAF C130 Hercules pilots during the 1970s and 1980s flew supply missions in support of liberation movements in Southern Africa, delivering materiel to Tanzania, Zambia and Mozambique for onward distribution to African nationalist guerrillas in Namibia, South Africa and Rhodesia.".
