Paramilitary wiping the ass of a full fledged military?? This story is not clear.

The Rapid support force started has a paramilitary but has now metamorphosed to an armed militia/gaurilla.

Don’t forget they once fought side by side by the Sudan Army, I hope other military learn from this conflict and the politics therein

#Sudan the rapid support forces have shot down a mig fighter jet over Khartoum, one of the two ejected pilots was captured alive.... The conflict is looking to be a stalemate with both side making little or no gain, the RSF controls more than 80% of the capital

#Tchad: the mixed coordination of armaments presented this Wednesday, May 24 to the press, 2459 weapons of different calibers that were seized during its patrols carried out on national territory.

First batch of Nigerian Air Force pilots and maintenance personnel to train on the T-129 ATAK Helicopter under procurement from the Turkish Aerospace Industry arrived Ankara.

Nice to see female personnel’s amongst them, we are getting there !

This regime will always be remembered for the vast and level of commitment in procurement of hardware’s.

No female personnel from any of the military branches or security agencies in Northeast Europe, including those trained in Pakistan

Lol. Na Bidexii actually type this? I thought criticism of armed forces personnel is a big no-no for you

This not my first time on the thread,
And how do you know am a military personnel

GabrielYulaw:
Any particular reason why the navy seems obsessed with this particular brand of helicopter? Is it exceptionally easy to fly and maintain or what? I'm just curious.

Cheap, easy to maintain and can be used for so many roles civil/military roles.

Exnavyboy62:
The worst news I've ever received from this thread. It's either the higher authorities of the Navy are trying to circumvent money for their personal interests or they are just ignorant of the modern naval world.

Same think am thinking ?

Let’s hear the amount they want to spend first ?

bendeniceguy:
Just read that NNS Aradu has been aproved for a 24 months refit by the FG. Does that make any sense giving that we could get a couple of better ships for the price of refitting that old lady

For me I don't like the idea, why don't we get an affordablr frigate from Russia ?
