When did Kenya get K-52's Mi-Mil 25's and Typhoon MRAP's?

Love it! Our am brothers una dey try on una own abeg.

OBJ and Theophilus Danjuma (COAS, later Defence minister) almost killed our military.


The advice they got from the Americans and Europeans, that pruning and downsizing the Nigerian military makes it more effective proved to be monumentally false and a stup1d move.


There's a direct correlation between having a small, peacekeeping style military and insecurity. They are like the ying and yang, Inseparable!


The tactics BH employed were also entirely new, that was another source of frustration in the beginning. We couldn't just deploy "scorched earth tactics" or shell civilian areas. We also didn't even know the enemy. He was everywhere and nowhere at the same time.


We've now gotten a hang on, and the results continue to improve. However, BH is a long term fight. We cannot defeat an ideology, we can only contain it. There are many factors which make defeating BH impossible, some of the factors are completely beyond our control.


My personal satisfaction would be the day we are able to deploy 70% local land systems. APCs, IFVs, HMGs,n surveillance equipment et al.


ISIS..... Is nothing. BH has committed more atrocities in the last 12 months in Nigeria, than has ISIS in Syria. There's nothing ISIS would throw we haven't seen before. What we need is to improve upon the gains we've been recording, purchase proper assets, especially long range bombers, continue with a flexible training regime. Dominate the grounds.

lionel4power:
in my own opinion i'll say the Sudanese army are quite organized and well equipped than whatever the media is letting us believe. Any tresspass on their territory by UN or whoever will result in a bloodied nose for both party.

Your sources do not quote troop numbers - you could have one military observer present and that would get you mentioned!!

Nigeria has withdrawn the majority of its troops from Darfur

To bad Nigeria withdrew allready - simply because they could not handle being under Rawandan command

Nigeria had troops in congo in the 1960's, but did not love africa enough to keep them there

Yet again, we see I have told no lies

Honestly! I gotta say, for a country of only 1.9 million people, their military is impressive. A proper model for countries like Mali, Guinea et al


Do you know they make MRAPs and military comms equipment in their tiny as$ country.


They are like the Finland of Africa.

What would staying achieve?

Until the ROE's are relaxed the deployment of troops is meaningless.

Ivory Coast: Shooting at Grand-Bassam beach resort

Gunfire has erupted at the beach resort of Grand-Bassam in Ivory Coast, French media say.
They quote eyewitnesses as saying the shooting began in a hotel. There have been reports of casualties.
Grand-Bassam is located about 40km (25 miles) east of the country's main city, Abidjan.

frumentius:
The Maritime Reaction Squadron. I wish we could just go back to calling these guys the SA Marine Corps. Everyone calls them Marines anyway.

Henry240:


15 people dead. Quite unfortunate for the Ivory coast.

As part of measures to ensure security and collaboration in the Gulf of Guinea (GoG), the Nigerian Navy (NN) and its counterparts from 29 countries will participate in major sea exercise.

Henry240:
Agaugust desist from instigating conflict and insulting thread contributors.

Patches689 stop fueling confrontation.

If both you guys can't follow basic thread rules, your contributions in this thread aren't required. I'll be forced to call in the mods if you continue.

stillchris:


bro, to be honest, if i were a moderator i go don ban you since.

i like this thread a lot and some of your post are quite provocative enough to start some baseless arguments that can ruin this thread. i love my country and all but sometimes we just have to be civil especially in a place that requires it.

i think south africa pulling out of darfur is none our business as they have their reasons.

same way we had ours when we pulled out major combat troops from mali before elections and we also defended had our reasons for pulling out some troops from same darfur and we happily defended the decisions on this forum.

my point is that there are some arguments you just don't get into if this thread is to be kept clean.

no harm in correcting a foreigner's info about your military when wrong should only be allowed. (i got my eye on you @patches )

abeg bro. make we try abide by the rules.

The continent's current best SPG is Kenya's new B-52 NORA, year 2007 technology systems.

52 calibre gun. 41 km BB shell firing range. Road travel speed 100 km/h. Road travel range 1,000 km. Sustained Rate of fire 12 rpm.

africaken254:
this the reason i was saying we need to improve,nurture our counter terrorism training e.g collaborating like with the west africa region in counter-terrorism.who could have imagined this could have happened in Ivory coast .its time we get serious,its our people dying and suffering

agaugust:



That's you own long story discussion above. How does that follow the rules of this photo thread?

If Augustine writes long story about AMISOM vs Al Shabbab, you call it derailment and should be banned.

EVERYBODY here writes long story when it suits them, including irrelevant Syrian war and Russia Vs NATO analysis and discussions. You think I am blind and don't see all those derailments? I see them and just mind my own business. I do not own Nairaland.

Looks like it's wrong when Augustine does things, it's right when others do the same thing here. You guys have a conscience I guess.

To keep this thread clean, everybody should agree to stop ALL discussions. Post photo, name the picture, full stop. That is the only solution. Stop picking on me, WE ARE ALL GUILTY, EVERYBODY HERE IS GUILTY.
