patches689: Nobody is shifting any goal post, we are just educating you to correct your big error of a near genocidal battlefield tactics to mass murder innocent civilians on African streets by using indirect fire area effect high explosive mortar shells to counter high speed high mobility Toyota gun trucks of terrorists. Only you think an unguided mortar shell will easily hït a fast driving crazy swerving Toyota vehicle that is NOT sitting down for you like a lame duck. You do not know what urban COIN warfare in civilian towns and cities looked like. There are many African streets with 2km long line of sight for terrorists and armies to shõõt at targets in direct fire mode point effect. We have 5km long roads and bridges, we have long streets 3km long traffic jams, we do street protests of people stretching 5km long marching line of protesters. You CANNOT use area effect mortars in urban area where innocent civilians live, it is mass murder. African national Armies will have to counter terrorists' guns with equal firepower type of army guns, or else good people will lose, and bad people will win. . 8 Likes 5 Shares

patches689: Do you know what it means when you deploy area effect weapons instead of point effect weapons in urban warfare? Collateral damage on thousands of innocent civilians. Do you know why armies carry as much as 44 rifles and machine guns but only 1 mortar in a 40 man platoon? Indirect fire area weapons like mortars find it very very difficult to hit a specific point target, and in battles against many high speed crazy driving Toyota gun trucks of terrorists can only be destroyed by accurate direct fire-point effect weapons. Against ground targets in direct fire-point effect, 14.5mm gun is very effective at 2km range while 23mm is very effective at 3km range. They both can also fire armour piercing API shells against IFVs that are armoured to resist 7.62mm to 30mm HE shells. That is how powerful these terrorists' guns are, and there are so many of them on African battlefields today. You keep calling for mortars against terrorits fighting inside African towns and cities, so you want to massively shell a civilian residential town with wide area effect high explosive mortars? You want to land inaccurate mortars on the houses of Maiduguri and Mogadishu residents and kill thousands of innocent women and children? UN security council and Amnesty International will be hunting after not only your army cbief of staff alone, but also your country's president for mass murder near genocidal level ! You don't know how weapons are used in battle and what type of weapons to use on different types of battlefields, you think all wars are fought in wide open fields and large empty space deserts, like the setting in AMANI 2015 arranged like a Rugby stadium match ? . 5 Likes

Army of Mauritania.....Sahara region army generals of Africa are not ashamed to be armed to match terrorists gun firepower. Important thing is to go to battle and return to base alive, and to be able to defend your base if attacked. The days of text book military academy oriented fine boy army with fancy looking vehicles carrying 5.56mm and 7.62mm guns are over, except for army generals who do not value the lives of these motorized regular infantry corps men, these soldiers have families too, let African armies value their young lives. Arm them well, upgun your motorized infantry corps to minimum of 12.7mm, you also add 14.5mm, 23mm.....and see terrorits lose their big gun advantage. Pic 2 shows ordinary Humvee carring 25mm cannon chasing terrorists in one desert somewhere. Greetings from the Toyota Landcruiser troops of national army of Mauritania on parade.... Pic 1

rugged7: Nigerian army has one of the biggest wealth of COIN training in the world today. They have collected skills and knowledge from all over the world into one army, war tactics and strategies plus skills from national armies of USA, Britain, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Belarus, South African PMC, Israeli, PMC, now requesting same from armies of Brazil and Colombia to add knowlwdge to knowledge plus their own local experience with Boko Haram for 6 years. I think we should share these capabilities with our fellow African armies' COIN regiments for brotherly countries who are not blinded by unprofitable ego.

Nigeria offers satellite services to European countries who depend on our satellite technology, not to mention African countries that use Nigerian satellites.

patches689: Pooh pooh !!! You bought Gripen jets you cannot afford to maintain, half your jets are in frozen cold long term storage. You bought 4 so called frigates but could not afford to buy a single torpedo for them. You bought those four Valour 'frigates' you bought have been officially downgraded to VALOUR PATROL CORVETTES by your own navy because you cannot afford to buy the standard 32 Exocet missiles for them, you could only afford half missiles and no torpedo at all. You bought 3 submarines, you could not afford the cost, so you paid with bank loans and interest piles up everyday. You bought only 5 Badger IFVs because you cannot afford to pay for the 238 units you planned to have, 15 years to buy only 5 IFV. You bought NOTHING on project Biro after 23 years because you cannot afford one single IPV or OPV on that paper plan that is gathering dust in your defence procurement office. . 1 Like 1 Share |

It looks very much like one turret roof hatch open and flipped upwards, and beside it a coaxial roof top machine gun with big ammo box attached to it like on a T-72.

africaken: Please advise Kenya and Uganda to replace all 5.56mm and 7.62mm light machine guns on armoured vehicles deployed for anti-terrorism ops except for SF that want very light arms for close quarters combat and can mount 4 LMGs on one vehicle facing all 4 directions and backing them up with hand held MGLs. Minimum calibre for regular infantry should be 12.7mm DshK, but better to do 14.5mm x 1 ZPU, or else terrorists will do yöur troops much damage with superior firepower in calibre and range. Nigeria learned this big lesson the hard way. PHOTO 1 : AFRICAN PEACE KEEPERS, MOROCCO IN IVORY COAST, PIC 1

It looks very much like one turret roof hatch open and flipped upwards, and beside it a coaxial roof top machine gun with big ammo box attached to it like on a T-72. Nothing clear in that clouded image, looks like T-72 as much. So no proof, obscure images are unreliable as evidence. Get us a clear proof. Meanwhile, India buys more T-90 that you think is obsolete and has useless Shtora self defence according to your imagination. You are smarter than Indian army generals? 2 Likes 1 Share |
