Why at this stage in our development and awareness are we digging WW2 trenches in a Sahel savanna. Things have moved on nobody is digging trenches. You need elevation to defend and to see your enemy, more so in the predominantly flat lands of the Sahel Savanna. The cost is very very minimal. The HESCO bags have become the standard for for all military bases in this modern day and age. They are constructed with collapsible wire mesh frame with a thick synthetic canvas type strong fabric covering. It's like lego you can stack them up 3 levels that gives you up to 30 feet of elevation. That means you can with magnification remote cameras or just plain binoculars including thermal vision have up to 5km possibly more of spatial awareness and vision. These HESCO bags can be VERY EASILY be locally produced 100% local content in Nigeria for peanuts. Just with simple revers engineering. That will make a huge difference to our forward bases and defensive positions and stop them from being over run. Giving you protection from Rpg7's and even heavy mortar � fire.

komekn:As u can see from the pics these are like permanent FOBs so the need for the HESCOSs unlike ours it's not troops don't stay there for up to two weeks they are always moving... |

Toju200: The use even for the two weeks will save the troops a lot of stress. Even if they are not stacked one on top another, the minimum elevation and protection will go a long way.These bags also don't discourage the use by mobile units as they can be quickly filled and emptied and can be carried around with less stress. Another fact I love about them is that when filled, they offer better projectile resistance and protection than your regular brick wall, all you need is BAG, SAND(and/or ROCKS) and people/equipment to fill them. In fact trenches can still be dug and the sand evacuated from the trenches used to fill the bags. 9 Likes |

Hammering on the bolded.....Can't we get Western style armed drones from Turkey or the other Arab Country(can't remember there name now) or even Israel? komekn: |

Stormtrooper11: The man talked about operational reliability. Getting them to work everyday, day and night. We need to stop thinking like amateurs and start using real thinking. Also, the waiting time for drones from Turkey is +2years, Operational time is maybe 3 years. Nigeria could get something developed within that time frame. The idea that there is equipment just waiting in a showroom for pickup and ready to drive the next day, that's another annoying fantasy that amateur defence commentators yammer about. 3 Likes |

Stormtrooper11:Yes, let's buy some $ million drones with tethering and reliability issues because we have' crude oil money'. Nigeria is better off with MALE drones for reconnaissance and intelligence, a few more helicopters and fixed wing assets than payload restricted UCAV. Besides this is an insurgency not a conventional army like used in Syria or Libya. Great to take out one or two targets, then what happens next? Strafing runs, multiple hits and so are required dealing with BH convoys. Not your one hit wonders. Holistic mindset not throwing money at a target is what's required here. 5 Likes |

Jimi24:If u talkin' 'bout time frame;we could get atleast 20 ucavs from china within 1 year 5 months. You guys keep saying nigeria can develop a drone within 2 years.lol. First,it was amebo and gulma uav(s).now the tsaigumi and they ain't still operational.mind you,we've been talking about these drones since 2012 and they ain't still operational.this show incompetence and unseriousness to end the war and develop the airforce 6 Likes |

Stormtrooper11:Gulma and Amebo were just technology demonstrators Tsaigumi UAV is confirmed and it's active CAS in 2018 said some Tsaigumi UAVs will be deployed at the AFB in Cross rivers,Shell company is Procuring Some For NAF for Pipeline surveillance, Kaduna state procured some for Surveillance in the state. |
Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by Stormtrooper11(m): 2:36pm On Jun 21, 2020 |
BlackBaron:Look,drones are even more suitable for COIN warfare than the coventional. With ucavs we could track and take out those bhts in larger numbers.ucavs got a higher service ceiling compared to our gunships and the ucav(s) are 'stealth' compared to our fixed wing aircraft.if u talkin' 'bout drones being too expensive, You gotta understand that presently nigeria airforce is kinda spending much to get little result.e.g.we spend over 5 million bi monthly on fuelling our aircrafts.if we got ucav(s) we don't require to spend much to power them.we could arm the drones with rockets instead of using 'expensive' missiles to take out bht technicals and bases.if u sayin' drones carry limited weaponry;you gotta note that a wing loong uav can take between 10-20 rockets.thats more than our alpha jets and l 39s.so,with a ucav i could have an increased combat range and have the ability to carry out ISR on that ssme platform,instead of spending on different platforms with little results 6 Likes 1 Share |

Stormtrooper11:arm a drone with rockets and you'll have to fly at a closer range to hit target accurately.You stated with a UCAV you get to Carry out Combat and ISR at the Same,What comes to mind is the Super Tucano Built for COIN operations and has more payload that UCAV.. 2 Likes |
