which UAV kill is that? Naija now operates an armed UAV?

barcanista:
Jonathan has been an accomplice in all these sharing. All yje listed people supported Jonathan in 2011, TY Danjuma is a PDP Chieftain and Jonathan's confidente. Non of the mentioned people are Buhari's ally. This is another reason the Niger Delta must kick out Jonathan

saengine:
I'll leave my reply very short because i refuse to waste my time. Combat troops deploy with engineers. Engineers deploy with the necessary equipment needed in the region the troops will be fighting in. You clearly didnt do geograpghy because rivers and lakes dont "suddenly" appear out of nowhere. Maps of the area would have been studied, and necessary equipment needed to deal with the terrain brought along.

Amphibious vehicles are good, but a bad idea for very large bodies of water. Chances are your enemy will have a brown water navy. Their purpose built boats will tear your Cobras appart. So good luck taking your Cobras accross the Atlantic ocean....and watch your men turned into mince.

Nigeria government is buying second hand rusty weapons on the black market to fight Boko Haram.

Samchelsea:
am not used to specs for helicopters but the guys who took the photo(AFP) said they were mi 24

Patchesagain:
According to this map of Boko Haram activity there is practically no major water obsticals in the AO

So, I am not quite sure what your point was.

And we dont have force projection? Ask the Angolans about our force projection

andrewza:
The badger is not a dream. In fact there are has many bashers in SA has BTR4 is Nigeria. You do know your BTR4 are from a batch Iraq rejected due to it not being up to standard. Most of the 47 where taken by the Ukraine army. You have a tiny number of Iraq rejects.

patches689:
Hahaha - the delusions continue.

Yes they were compared - and apart from top speed the BTR-4 was inferior in every conceivable catagory

- Badger has better armor
- Carrys more men
- Better situational awareness
- Better weapons systems
- All weapons systems have longer effective ranges
- better troops carrying capacity
- more modular design makes it more versatile
- more advanced optics and communications
- better mine and IED protection
- better performance in combat (surviving multiple RPG and IED hits in Iraq)

Badger iFV is hands down the most dangerous, best protected, most advanced IFV in Africa and a world leader in its class - and we are getting 236 of them

And we dont care about so called "secret arsenals" we care about what can be proven.

Danhumprey:
Citizens of this 'great' nation are living as refugees in a strange land because of the cluelessness and ineptitude of the incumbent government to provide security and curb the menace of this religious fundamentalists,and yet they(the government) feel like using the refugees's situation to score cheap political points and garner votes for itself. Smh.

mzilakazi:
That's a pure lie. UN only put Tanzanian commanders and Nigerians because they are anyway poorly paid from their respective countries. Have you ever seen UN appointing US commanders?

[size=16]However, let us do away with negative talks and admit that SA military academy has always offered the best academic military training in the world for many years. It had always been recognised as the best in the world. Nigeria does not have a military academy to that level.[/size]

agaugust:
Welcome!

sweetgala:
Within you second line is the un-doing .

Before that particular incident what existed on that land was colonial British protectorate , on the eve of the expiration of that mandate while Egypt,Jordan and neighboring Arab nations fought for the spoils of land some Zionist came along(migrated to) and declared independence based on "the bibles" description of ancient Jewish land.

A two state system is best as the true people that have suffered are the indigenous Palestinians, descendants of Jews , European Christians and ottoman people from the crusades. Jerusalem has always been no-man's land even in the bible it was never explicitly occupied by Jews , so Israel wanting to keep it is silly.

Are you crazy? Jews have lived in Israel prior to 1948.

The UN need to take over administration of Jerusalem and give it similar designation as the Holy see because it contains artifacts , ruins and religious significance to some of the worlds major religions equally.

Ngwakwe:
Our stand on Palestine is basically all about Islam and nothing more.

Did you read the resolution or are you commenting on you usual belief that Nigeria is Islamic country?

The Palestinians pray facing Mecca while the Jews pray facing Jerusalem and a lunatic puts up a write up for Jews to vacate Jerusalem within 3 years leaving the remnant of Solomon's temple and every Jewish antiquities for the Arabs, failure to abide by this will attract multi-national forces to remove Jews from East Jerusalem and you want Nigeria to vote YES?

You think all Nigerians think like Buhari, the unwired veteran.

ObiOkpor:
Don‘t be harsh dude.He has served his fatherland for a year and 9 months.
Lagos is his new base,reported today sef. Are u ok now?

mzilakazi:
That's not true, Badger has a hard skin and probably the writer confused it with the skin of patria.

bidexiii:
Honestly dis saddens my heart and its not good for d armies reputation :http://m.bbc.com/news/world-africa-30672391
And its high time the top brass changes there tactics in handling BH cos its not gud to start d year like this !

GreenandGold:
That's no driver's door... crew and driver enter through the rear door like all modern IFVs.

You're demonstrating your inferior Nigerian education - Failed again

agaugust:
Bwahahahaha

Bad-ger IFV tries to copy modern BTR-4...opens window...Bad-ger gun blows off Bad-ger drivers head

Bad-ger IFV = Bad-design = Death by own bullet = home goal in a football match !

patches689:
First, this is a ridiculous notion about "snipers" hitting a moving target, while under fire. Further, you have yet to prove that a snipers round will knock it out

Second, your BTR has not 360 degree veiwfinder


Snipers are well hidden and with you saying this, I am beginning to doubt if SA has any good sniper.

Snipers hit stationary and moving targets.

You say the BTR is better, yet as usual you cannot tell us why.

agaugust:
Badger camera is exposed fully to snipers, BTR-4 camera is securely located under other steel frames.

Badger design is obsolete since 10 years ago on drawing paper
.

MikeCZAR:
Not all of them are gonna be operational at any given time.

Some will be undergoing regular maintains, some will be awaiting maintains and spares.

SAAF has three available at any given time, out of all the 9.

MikeCZAR:
Its sensors can't be "knocked out"?

Even when that's the case, he'll open the window and can be able to see both side mirrors.

Ever heard about periscopes?

dakingsman:
Just received pictures of wat look like 4.5 generation fighter jets. Hope I will be allowed to post soon. The helicopters I posted has been shared world wide without been credited to @Nigerian_military_history
That's a bit rude I believe

mzilakazi:
It is not easy that its sensors can be disabled by any means. There is only one chance out of thousand chances that it can happen. However, if that can happen, there is always an alternative. The badger uses a complicated tech which is beyond the tech of an outdated BTR4.
