You need to understand the wider politics involve in the war on terror, Our partners don't want
Eeben even do there military support in terms non lethal aid is small. They critical partners of ours even do we are non aligned state. Our major Arms provider doesn't support us as partners in these war like they do in Syria because we don't have a Big Russian interest like we did during the civil war.
Currently Nigeria non aligned state & refusal to allow AFCOM base n other factors lead to US drone build up in Niamey / Agadez n Chad

And we are still suffering till now.

TRUMP AND AFRICAN DEFENCE: COULD MEAN ANYTHING

SENSITIZING MILITARY PERSONNEL ON VALUE SYSTEM AND RE-ORIENTATION

The change begins with me in the military becomes imperative in order to reposition, re-professionalise and equally demonstrate our subservient role to the democratic governance. The Armed Forces is one of the key integral institution that the country and its citizen can boast of. Consequently, it must champion the cause of high level degree of efficiency and effectiveness to carry out its constitutional mandates in line with the best global practice.

The Chief of Defence Staff since he assumed office has left no stone unturned in injecting very robust policies both administratively and operationally in line with his vision which is “To Ensure A Well Motivated Trained And Equipped Armed Forces That is Responsive To National Security Commitments”. This can only be achieved if there is total reorientation, change of attitude amongst ranks and files introduction of selfless service, subordination to the political masters and the constitution and most importantly, enhanced civil military relations.

The sensitization which was launched on the 21st of November, 2016 is another milestone in the series of achievements which the current CDS and the military in General have achieved. The Nigerian Armed Forces no doubt has to subject itself to the change mantra in upholding its known ethics of decency, accountability, transparency and prudence towards achieving selfless service to the nation, which is the main keyword. It could be reminded that CDS started this process by holding a procurement seminar. With the myriad of security challenges, and economic slowdown the country is facing, hence the need for this realignment of thinking which could propel positivism for attaining overall national security objectives. All personnel of the armed forces must key to this effort in reviving our ethics, etiquette, regimentation which gives emphasis to integrity, loyalty and respect for the rule of law and constitutionalism. This sensitization campaign will be conducted in all military formations and units in the 6 geopolitical areas across our great country.

Colonel Eeben and Angela's general de Matos circa early 1990's. angola had figured out that Cuban Soviet tactics and all the tanks in Africa wouldn't defeat savimbi's sometime conventional, sometimes guerilla army.
So awash in oil money, and badly in need of peace, he recruited his former SADF enemies of the last decade ( the 80s )

And they delivered. They taught that angolan the tactics that worked against UNITA.

Later in sierra leone, Eeben and about 250 men from the executive outcomes, a PMC outfit. Checkmated the hit and run tactics of the RUF rebels.

So after I cajoled our armed forces to hire the guy as an advisor for years on the then influential beegeagles blog, they hired him for just 3 months before the last election or did PMB terminate the contract ??

Anyway, war is a science. Counterinsurgency is probably it's most difficult sub set.
Colonel Eeben's pedigree with the SADF and subsequent exploits in EO and STTEP puts him on the level of US generals Petraeus and Mchrystal.

And time and time again, the nigerian armed forces had a chance to learn from one of the best, but our foolish pride got the best of us. We suffered massive losses in the ecomog wars, because we didn't know counterinsurgency. Twenty years later we are losing our best men and our citizens are being savagely butchered, because we refused to learn . especially after sierra leone.
Now we wonder why the chadians and the Cameroonians ( at least the BIR )field better combat units than us. They too learn from experts when they get a chance.

We think we can just send a batallion to belarus and abracadabra microwave style we gots special forces.

Honestly the man is a proven success when it comes in handling CTCION, militias & guerrilla warfare.

Am a keen follower on Twitter & is blog. These man together with is crew can be hired to train our SF here in Nigeria, it will cut cost training our personnel abroad.

5.45×39mm = Russia (AK-74M)


7.62x39mm = Nigeria (AK-103).


We don't use the first round.

You don't seem to understand what the initial argument is over. You need to go back and establish how the argument came about, as you seem lost.


Like i have established, there is no evidence that supports Nigeria using the 5.45×39mm( Russia), we only use the

7.62x39mm and NATO 5.56x45mm.

It's of no point arguing with you.

kabe1:
Dude please read your own source. It clearly states that the bulk of the rifles delivered to Nigeria from Poland are chambered in 7.62x39mm. only 5 units of mini-Beryl are chambered in 5.56x45 mm.

5.56x45 mm is the same round used in Nigerian Tavor-21s which other commando units use.

There are no version chambered in the 5.45mm which is a Russian round. NATO countries use the 5.56x45 mm as a standard not the Russian 5.45×39mm.


Understand the difference, Jeez!!


There is no evidence that the Nigerian army or any branch of the military use the 5.45×39mm from Russia.


Nigerian service men only use the 7.62x39mm (Russia) and 5.56x45 mm (NATO).

The 1st & 2nd batch of beryl that looks like these uses the 7.62x39mm

The later(5000 units delivery still on) that has the looks of ak74 uses the 5.56x45mm. Be patient read what I wrote carefully.

The 1st pic are the initial beryl deliveries, that uses the 7.62x39mm

And to you Upko1, you don't tell your fellow gentleman to 'sharrap', it's insulting to @kabe1 personality.
You guys should stay on topic please, none want this thread to get ruined like the other one.

kabe1:
That's why i'm saying based on the "open source" information which is readily available, unless there is a verifiable source to the contrary, the rifles those navy guys are carrying is an AK-103 not an AK-74.


The rifles you shared are chambered to use the 7.62x39mm which is the round we have always used. Which also the Janes defence article verifies.


At the end of the day, it is a good thing that infantry weapons of our soldiers are improving.

now a 1000 deal followed after the initial deal. And the possiblity of another 5000 deal followed due to the need in N.E theatre which where the ones used by the AFSF today. And these versions you are chambered for new NATO standard -
5.45×39mm

now take a very good look of those riffles they are not ak74/74m or 103/104 either.

kabe1:
No offence bidexi, but you're wrong.


Here is an article from Janes defence.com

From Jane’s-

“Polish small arms manufacturer Broni has delivered a
second batch of 500 Beryl M762 assault rifles to Nigeria under a
USD500,000 contract signed early this year, company sources
have told IHS Jane’s .

The first batch of 1,000 Beryl M762s, spare parts, and training
was delivered to Nigeria under a USD1 million contract signed in
mid-2014.


This was the first ever export order for any Beryl rifle, including the M762, a 7.62×39 mm version of the Polish Army’s 5.56×45 mm Beryl M556 (wz. 96C) service rifle."


As you can see, Nigerian troops have never used the 5.45 mm round.


All our troops regular infantry and AFSF use the 7.62x 39mm


All our regular commandos use the 5.56 standard NATO round.


No Nigerian unit fields the 5.45 standard Russian army round.

These link was for the first batch of beryl riffle delivered which included both rounds ammo.


Nigeria Receives A Batch Of Polish Beryl Rifles

Fabryka Broni Łucznik-Radom [Łucznik Radom Arms Factory] supplied 510 examples of Beryl and Mini-Beryl carbines for the Nigerian Army. The weapons were delivered in two variants, using 7.62x39 mm (Beryl) and 5.56x45 mm (Mini-Beryl) ammunition.

NAF DEPLOYS ADDITIONAL PLATFORMS TO NORTH WEST

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has deployed additional platforms to the North West to reinforce the on-going operation against cattle rustling, armed banditry and kidnapping. The new deployments, comprising fixed and rotary wing aircraft, complement those deployed earlier for the operation. The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Mshl Sadique Abubakar yesterday made an operational visit to 119 Forward Operations Base (FOB), Sokoto to access the deployment. The visit also availed the CAS the opportunity to undertake a facility tour of the Unit as well as paid a courtesy call on His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alh (Dr) Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar (III) in his palace.

Addressing the press at the end of the visit, Air Mshl Abubakar stated that the additional deployment was based on the analysis of threat in the region; given that cattle rustling currently pose a serious security challenge in Zamfara State hence the need to take drastic steps to curb the situation. To tackle the problem, the CAS stated that the NAF will continue to work in synergy with other security agencies in order to achieve the desired end state. Air Mshl Abubakar further hinted on the plan underway to: restructure 119 FOB Sokoto, reactivate existing infrastructure and build new ones, deploy additional Regiment personnel to enhance the operational capability of the Unit and its participation in Internal Security Operations within the area.

NAVY RAIDS ILLEGAL REFINING SITES IN THE NIGER DELTA


In continuation of the anti-crude oil theft operations of the Nigerian Navy in the Niger Delta, patrol teams deployed by the Service have raided and destroyed more illegal bunkering and refinery sites. This is even as the Nigerian Navy has intensified patrol of the maritime areas of the country in order to deter any form of security beaches and threats.

On 16 November 2016, the patrol team deployed by Forward Operating Base (FOB) Formoso in Bayelsa State arrested MV MIDES 2 and 2 other Cotonou boats for alleged illegal bunkering activities at Sonikiri Community in Nembe LGA of Bayelsa State. MV MIDES 2 was while arrested carrying out transfer of suspected illegally refined AGO to the Cotonou boats.

In another raid, on 18 November 2016, the patrol team deployed by NNS PATHFINDER in Rivers State destroyed an illegal refinery site containing about 70,000 litres of stolen crude oil and 40,000 litres of illegally refined AGO at Bille Creek in Rivers State.

Similarly the patrol team deployed by NNS DELTA arrested 4 persons onboard a Cotonou boat laden with suspected stolen crude oil on the Forcados River. This feat is in addition to an earlier raids conducted by the operatives in which a Cotonou boat laden with about 15 metric tones (MT) of product suspected to be crude oil was destroyed at Benneth Island in Delta State.

The Nigerian Navy patrol team deployed from Forward Operating Base (FOB) ESCARVOS under Ops DELTA SAFE on 23 November 2016 also carried out extensive patrol of the area of responsibility. During the patrol, the team discovered and dismantled a newly erected illegal refinery Camp at Tipo Village near Abiteye Community in Delta State. The patrol team also destroyed 2 large Cotonou boats laden with various quantities of product suspected to be stolen crude oil siphoned from sources within the village. Further searches revealed that the criminals stashed about 100 Jerry cans of products suspected to be illegally refined AGO on an adjacent Creek in a bid to conceal them from military operatives.

In a related development, the naval patrol team deployed from NNS PATHFINDER under Ops DELTA SAFE on 23 November 2016 discovered and destroyed a large wooden boat at Wakama, close to Onne axis. The boat contained about 500 litres of suspected illegally refined AGO.
