I don't know if I'm supposed to repeat myself at every turn.

SOF does not exist. As the term SOF is the exact same thing as SF.

Because you have received additional training in some sort of speciality does not necessarily make you an SOF. You're just a more mobile infantry or a Quick Reaction Unit.

Your MRS is nothing more than a Naval Infantry. If this was the case, every Naval infantryman in the Nigerian navy would be referred to as some special super duper soldier.

nnamdi1998:
Are you in the military sir?

Henry240:
No, that's not a proper answer. As SF units also conduct direct fire mission. French SF were the first to enter every city/Town in Mali with insurgents. French SF backed up by air power. Also at-least 2 French SF died in Mali when their SPVs rolled over an IED. Two different incidences

your answer should be, in situations were they are caught in direct action or ambushes or FIBUA they can still defend themselves as they are armed with a 50.Cal and a 7.62mm machine gun. Infact vehicles like the Hornet RDRV have a frontal armour which is able to stop 7.62 fired from a distance of 30 meters. Also SF soldiers would dismount, providing support with small arms. The vehicles are also small enough to cut through city streets.

You use Jacob Zuma's visit to Burundi as an example of the multiple applications in both Direct and Indirect action role.


This is what your answer should look like, not the hubris above.

I was the one who created the Firestorm about the Hornet that is so beloved by our South African brethren.
Let me add my two cents and create Firestorm#2
It appears the lessons from Bangui has not been learned.This vehicle will not fare well in an urban warfare setting of Mosul and despite the pleas of my South African brethren it will suffer against a fast moving urban terrorists gang swarming on two more fronts simultaneously.

activatekruger is one of the Old posters here and he is also active in the Gaming section. his 2014 open letter to the Mods contained his complaints about the activities of some Mods interfering with military threads. he also tried to use the medium(letter) to pit the mods against his long term rivals Agaugust and Naijapikin. scared that he would get bored overtime if the mods ban this two, he advised the mods not to ban them but to try and control them.

it's the same with algerian ones , i read it's because Meko A200 frigates use the Combined Diesel and Gas, CODAG-WARP propulsion package , known for its superior performance regarding acceleration, size, economy and range, along with a very innovative exhaust layout.
