youghs: No one expects patrols to cover all of Borno State, I for one thought that patrols are held in areas the military believe the enemy is extraordinarily active. For long stretches of roads, as you describe Maiduguri-monguno road that is presumably flanked by concealing vegetations, why would military vehicles prowl slowly along it, especially unprotected military vehicles and given the history of ambushes in the area? 2 Likes |

Litmus: You will move slowly simply because you're not only looking out for ambushes but also IEDs. And for clarification, your speed doesn't really matter if an ambush is waiting for you. The only thing that can save you in an ambush is protected vehicles and/or situational awareness. 7 Likes |

Fynline: 12M346-FA signed for. 12 M346-FA awaiting approval, according to the Ministry of Defence man Could that be the 140 billion in the supplementary budget? |

Litmus:Foot patrol supported with vehicles is best... The soldiers drop extra load in vehicles and rotate every hour... And like you said, patrol doenst have to cover the entire maiduguri... And Wyhem15:And it takes about 1 hr to walk 5kms... This is decent and could even be increased since their heavy gears are supposed to be in vehicles with their teammates waiting to be rotated 2 Likes |

GeneralFarouq:Getting three vehicles in an ambush depends on planning and timing. They not picking their friends may be because in an ambush you are not expected to stop. You fight your way out immediately. |

Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by EricBraven: 9:38pm On Sep 25, 2021 |
GeneralFarouq:Yeah it would,but that is why using mrap should be a priority. The other team that escape the ambush,is also using a light skin vehicle,coming back for a team mate without proper planning or Intel may cripple the while team. |

Odunayaw:LST too small jare. Deployment to Gambia open their Yansh well and they saw how irrelevant they were as a naval force. Even deployment of OPV for such operation doesn't speak well of them. NN decided to go for LST first due to cost of procurement and LPD will also need protection of frigate. |

Please I would like to know, is the operation in the north west making appreciable impacts? And what can be done to accelerate the improvement of security in the region. Please if you are going to talk about the impact of the operation say what you feel is based on high level of certainty, don't bring the usual guess work that most people do here , trying to pass it as if they are on the ground. If you're on the ground in the north west, have family there, travelled there, neighbours talking about the impact and so on.....please not scenarios your mind is playing and telling you it's the truth in your head. I'm asking this, because a lot of news outlets are saying it's not making impacts and they interview locals who aren't too impressed,though the locals seems to be biased based on their locality, and don't seem to be informed of the bigger picture. 6 Likes 1 Share |

iblawi:In my opinion, a LPD is overkill for the gulf of Guinea. The capability it'd add is not worth the strain it'd put on NN's budget. Twin LSTs are just about fine for our medium force projection. I hope the 2nd LST is the longer LST120 or they stick with LST100 and increase its displacement 3 Likes |

Odunayaw: Baba here is the link for LST 120 which is even bigger than LST 100 Nigeria place order for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCTPSoaUtwk I swear LST 100 no go carry anything serious. compare with this LPD of small/moderate size made by Indonasia for Philippines. Makassar-class landing platform dock. The ships can carry up a Philippine Marine Battalion Landing Team (MBLT) with up to 500 fully armed marines and their vehicles and equipment, and carries two small landing craft utilities (LCU) with it. It has a helicopter deck capable of accommodating 2 12-ton helicopters, as well as a hangar for 1 helicopter. The ships are expected to be installed with additional weapons and improved sensor systems. Displacement: 11,583 tons full load Length: 123 metres (404 ft) Complement: 121 + attached aircrew 500 Marines Propulsion: Combined Diesel and Diesel (CODAD) Maximum speed: 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph) Range: 9,360 nautical miles (17,330 km; 10,770 mi) 8 × Browning M2HB .50 caliber heavy machine guns Aviation: 2-spot helicopter deck Boats Carried: 2 × LCU in well deck 2 × RHIB at boat davits Vehicle Deck: 2,800 tons of vehicles & cargo inc. 4 × AAVs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klQT0hfglno 1 Like |

Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by Whyem15: 3:27pm On Sep 26, 2021 |
Xbee007: APCs should fit that role with a reasonable quantity of MRAP. Maybe ration 3:1. Proforce has nice APCs, even if it is the uparmored versions of the hilux to start with. Making MRAP the standard will be too expensive and if we are being frank, the Army doesn't have such funds, especially when you consider their other needs like tanks, artilleries, fire support vehicles etc, the other corps such as engineering and signals also need heavy funding. Also, I have heard rumors of troops complaining that the Ara is too heavy and too slow but 17tons, a max speed of 96km/hr (the guy in the video claimed Ara is 15tons with max speed of 110km but the website claims 17tons) , and an engine capacity of 400hp,is it too heavier or slower than most MRAPs in its class? And mind you, Ara has Stanag level 3a and 3b ballistic and 4a and 4b mine protection. 5 Likes |

Now that it seems the Navy has secured constant funding with the current bill being passed in the national assembly, I pray the next administration will focus more on the Army. The airforce has got most of their urgent needs catered for if we are being honest, they just need. They just need more helos, transport aircrafts and UAVs. Then they can start focusing on dedicated aircrafts in the long run. 2 Likes |
