CQB with Ak-47assault rifles?

Too bulky, unstable firing, no suppressor to reduce muzzle flash.

They should be using what the Nigerian Navy- bullup semi automatic rifles.

Ak-47 is crap in close quarter battle scenarios.

Rawani:
Impressive strike, but I smell propaganda, if we were half as effective as this we wouldn't be discussing this now. Why all the excuses and references to the coming elections?

imauri:
A drill display video, night time drill ZL deployment and 1 drone strike with no confirmation (if the missile came from the so called drone there should be a slight video destabilization from the missile lunch but apparently not. + if the missile came from the direction of the drone, the car would have stopped dead in its tracks or blown side ways due to impact, the blast radius and wreckage debris would have scattered to ur 2,9 and 12 o clock NOT 6 but apparently not, what u have at best is an rpg ambush from ur 12 or an ied. sorry not all Nigerians are as dumb at the average ignorant folks commenting about this( apparent good news) another propaganda video for the pidgin heads..... tisk tisk tisk

BackDatAssUp:
What I got from the video:

The posture of a soldier and the way he carries his weapon tells me much of capabilities.

These dudes obviously lack basic firearm training. Your rifle is supposed to be an extension of the soldeir and not a burden.

When in obstacle firing and recon training, the soldeirs I saw, did not have the right posture and poise.

In a scene where the troops where walking in a dried up wadi, the troops did not take advantage of the low ground which is to conceal movement.

Obviously their basic training on maneuvers is non existent.

Standard issued weapons are no better than what the insurgents posses.

The discipline level is also suspect. A good golden thumb rule is that if they don't look like soldeirs then you don't expect them to fight like one.

The Nigerian military needs to overhaul their training program completely. Rather than subjecting cadet recruits to grueling physical punishments, training must focus on firearms, recon, self defense and should be done with emphasis of team work in a standard platoon.

This is utterly phucked up.

Give me a riffle and I probably will do a better job than these guys.

But do you think the terrorists are engaged in close proximity? In situations the army has to engage them over longer range, will they be handicapped, especially considering they rarely receive swift air support response. You also have to consider the fact that Boko haram uses anti-aircraft weapons against our soldiers. So i doubt their battles will occur at close ranges. Also, i think the AK-47 magazine carries more rounds than the FAMAS (judging from the look of the magazine). I think the only advantage the FAMAS has over the ak47 is the higher fire rate

vanunu:


Ak47 is for long range, u don't know more than the nigerian military, the gun in the picture is for short distance because the barrel is short.

Reference:


It is more reliable. If you have been in harms way your priority will be a solid defence which means reliability which means the AK. With all due respect the Navy is the last place you should be looking for a personal assault weapon.

That is the best part of the video o. I was almost getting pissed off for wasting my mb until I saw that. Well done NA

US military doctrine does not allow for close combat unless absolutely neccessary.

Recon teams scour an area and identify enemy positions and then call in ariel support.

This doctrine was adopted from the famous battle in La Drang Valley, Vietnam Where a group of marines were deployed a landing zone, LZ X-ray.

The marines were flanked in all corners by over 2000 NVA fighters. The objective was to maintain a landing area for reinforcement and maintain a cordone. The US marine commander, Col Moore, then called in for air support to take out enemy positions.

At one time the marines where in danger of having their positions overwhelmed by the Vietnamese forces. Col Moore then called in a distress call at the last minute code named broken arrow.

My point, do not engage the enemy in open quarters when air support can be called in to wipe them out. It saves resources and lives.

Rexyl:
very soon boko haram, their sponsors and sympathizers will be a thing of the past.

delvinmaya:


Chairman, ease up on the ITK syndrome. Coming here to quote a movie shows you fail to differentiate reality from make believe. Also your criticism of the NA training shows you have a hate thing going on. Watch the video closely and you will see a white trainer following them. While you might have your point, I believe you are not privy to whatever their trainer is telling them, so ease up on complaining

Frankenstein:
Hmm. Why now?

BackDatAssUp:


Olodo I am on their side and that is why I am complaining that they are not getting the right training or equipment.
