The Nigerian Army yesterday inaugurated locally fabricated Infantry Patrol Vehicles (IPV) that would enhance troops operations across the country. The Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali, inaugurated the vehicles and also performed the groundbreaking ceremony for a new army cantonment known as Muhammadu Buhari Cantonment at Giri, on Airport, Abuja.

The Chief of Army of Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai explained that the vehicles were locally designed and fabricated by personnel of the Nigerian Army after extension research.

Buratai said that the platform would further serve as force motivation, as efforts were being stepped up to clear remnants of Boko Haram terrorists in the Northeast, noting that the vehicles had already been deployed to the region.

According to him, the vehicles are one of the platforms used for firepower demonstration during the 2017 Nigerian Army Small Arms Championship (NASAC) earlier held at the Sambisa Forest in Borno State.

Indeed this is a good development. However, I'm not an automobile design engineer, but common sense dictates that a military craft should have both defense and offense mechanisms. The occupants of those automobiles are way too exposed. The vehicles should have some cover/protection.

Maybe it will be used for military parading or soft chaos control.

Method of employment determines how vehicles are designed.

This one is designed as a Light Strike Vehicle, or a Rapid Response Vehicle/Recon vehicle. Hence the build is very adequate for it's role.

Here is a similar vehicle used by Russian and US Special Forces.

Notice the similarities?


Henry240:


They are not designed to be built or used with armour. You use the vehicle for roles were it's advantages are maximized.

It's advantages are;

- It is air transportable, this means that it is so light, the Nigerian army can simply sling it under a Nigerian Air Force helicopter and take to anywhere operations are to take place against any enemy.

- Firepower, for such a small vehicle, you can see the amount of firepower it can bring to bear on the enemy. A 12.7mm Heavy Machine Gun, and a 7.62mm Light Machine Gun

- It is an All Terrain Vehicle, it can be used in all the terrains, very important advantage. The enemy cannot hide.

- Speed, it is a very fast vehicle both on and off-road

- Thermal cameras, you can see cameras visible in the vehicle, this means for night raids, commandos can sneak up on the enemy and let hell lose, without having to turn on vehicle headlamps.

- Situational awareness, this means since the vehicle is open, the soldiers are constantly aware of their surroundings and movements around the area, unlike in a vehicle with armour.

The vehicles brings so much advantages, as such no armour is required. You can see the soldiers are all wearing bulletproof vests, that's all the armour they would need.

I don't fancy the design no safety from the side.
They know BH ambush from side and not from the front.
Their ribs will be filled with holes.
