Kano is quite far from the Usual place of madness, how a bomb was transported must be investigated

Ukraine orders fighters at Azovstal plant to surrender
A sweet way to admit defeat, What about their creed of fighting to death...
But worry naught, this is Russian propaganda

my bad
t a gas leak, not bomb.

Jean-Fraude is in ishyt! I posted some months ago how Malians told them to get to stepping: Chadians have now had enough.

All over their former chasse privee the CAR,Mali, Burkina Faso and now Chad they or rather the sharp end of their neo colonial grip, the FFL and other ground forces will finally FK off after 6 decades of foul f'ery.
With the rapidly changing geopolitics expect Wagner Group to shore up their respective efforts fighting the many Paris proxies in the region. This could well spell the end of France-Afrique which would reduce France to a Portugal if not Romania.

My Uncle was an engineer for Kentron as well and actually worked on the HMD for the Mirage F1.... But unfortunately he passed away last year...

kikuyu1, ntsa, what does the KDF section/squad look like nowadays?

Lurker4Long:

You will soon learn some characters here aren't worth the time for argument.

Yeah, I should probably give up trying. Anyway, for an African military forum there is too much world politics. I mean I get this is called "foreign affairs" but still, this forum would shrink at least half its size if only African military topics were discussed here.

Video showing Ukrainian soldiers surrendering
Contrary to some belief here, Russian soldiers are quite treated welll... Or maybe they dressed for the cameras https://www.rt.com/russia/555605-ukraine-mariupol-azovstal-surrender/
PS. The silence of western media on this issue is deafening.

Lol, that isn't called "surrendering" by them; zelensky just said "stop fighting" according to Western media on twitter, after about 3000 people have dwindled to about 900+ according to reports.

You are more than 2,000 pages late

This thread and the Battlefield thread

There isn't much new things to discuss about African militaries except we stir up ourselves with fan debates or trolling

DRC 30mm PLdvK vz. 53/59 "Ještěrka" - Congolese army uses them for fire support against rebels. A few examples were captured by M23 rebels.

More pictures, this time from the east of the country.

There've been many changes the past decade though things haven't been standardised. When the Som op kicked off they mainly had new US M4s with ONLY airborne and specops fielding SCAR Hs. However for obvious reasons a number kept their G3s and FNs with some sporting AKs. Of late even regular units are receiving FN Herstals much loved rifle while the M4 is thankfully falling out of favour. Fyi, the latter had a problem with the feed ramps. After 1 or 2 mags it would fail to feed: a smart KAFTEC cadet figured out it was the continuous vibration that worsened a micro millimetre misalignment likely during the machining process. Several guys got KIA cause of this.
The section Carl Gustav was replaced with the RPG 7, which at 7 kg is half the weight. The GPMG remains the 240 though PKMs are also totted. For SAWs the HK 17 is near universal.
I've heard your Y2 is much loved and is either about to be inducted or the process has begun but IDK for sure.

TB2 out of "potentially deadly frontline" for now. Due to supposed propaganda

Wow, if this is genuine, recent report that Russia took out 9 / 12 during the snake island attack is probable

Well, Everything we see now, we take with "a pinch of salt" till the frenzy ends and real facts starts coming out.

Who would've thought that the "dark world" would become an arms supplier to the "developed world"?

South Africa is technically not part of the "dark world".

Nemesis4you, any idea of the relevant details of the bolded from your side?

As far as i know most probably the Saab EW systems/subsystems onboard ALH

This is really funny

I have heard of arms exporters imposing restrictions on use/deployment of their arms due to their concerns on human rights etc etc

First time i am hearing arms exporters imposing/demanding restrictions on use of their arms due to concerns over their weapons public image

Oh man, can it get worse
