There is no basis for South Africa to be there.
France has boots on the ground.

Somebody is just trying to make SA look good.

The NNSBSC are the best SF assets we've got, yes I agree with that. We shouldn't forget that the defense HQ selected the best from Navy, Army, Airforce SF even the Police fore where not excempted from the training in North East-Europe.

Calling the AFSF a specialized infantry unit will be a total bad comparison way out of line

These guys are better equipped, trained and given tough task against a deadly terrorist sect.
The AFSF is not a specialized infantry unit nor the NAF' special forces regiment. It is more. The AFSF is more like your varying degrees of capabilities within the Spetsnaz and has proven more effective than most US trained Green Berets type teams under comparable circumstances if not worse. The NAF Regiment comes with a high skill set more than your average Special Forces and is presently a strategic asset to the Armed forces and gearing towards SAS type capability to rival the SBS primarily in Air & Land Ops.

We already have ranger type like teams in the 72nd Mobile Strike Force and other such elements that already existed even the now Bike Battalion. That these nomenclatures like the Rangers or 82nd Airborne or the like exist elsewhere doesn't make them an exceptional skill set just that they are seen and given vent in popular culture—such competencies exist even in countries with less popular acclaim.

Twice now I have to agree with you! To an extent. NNSBS is close, but not yet a strategic asset. Not the unit's fault, but due to the limitations of the NN.
The Nigerian Navy Special Boat Service (NNSBS) is one of Nigeria's strategic options in military operations. It is a strategic asset. It is not close as you opine but the deal.

The Unit sees no limitations and has no limitations. You don't get that NNSBS badge with limitations. As we speak the NNSBS has covert footprints all over West Africa. They don't tell you what they do.

ALFS: "The demonstration featured a hostage & rescue scenario. The Nigerians brought in Naval helicopters, innovative pyrotechnics, controlled explosions, smoke grenades, motorcycles, special forces, fast-rappelling commandos...it was a spectacular demonstration, an awesome display of the Nigerian Army's military might"

Maid town under attack.....seems BHT IS TRYING to free their mates to boost their ranks again.
The Nigerian Army has just confirmed it has been repelled. The attempt is BHT's strategy of remaining. It is a suicidal infiltration.

The ongoing additional deployment of 6 new combat brigades for the summer offensive "Op Last Hold" is sure to rattle boko haram. People should know when they are conquered.

Your subtle job here and your blog is to make Nigeria look bad. Your nonsense and inaccurate profile of Nigeria's Army in 2018 surely benefits your paymasters ego and your hatred of Nigeria and confirms again your addiction to substance abuse for which you will do anything to eat the crumbs that fall from your masters table.

Pasting the often myopic western narrative here of Nigeria's military does not substitute the evidence in print and video all over the internet of the Nigerian military's proven combat capability across all spectrum of contemporary threats.

Nigeria's military today is better led, armed and trained than it ever was in it's history. Arguably bar two North African states, The Nigerian Armed Forces is today Africa's most vibrant and combat capable armed forces in it's generation, management, employment and execution at a moments notice of human and material forces in fulfillment of complex tactical and strategic objectives at home and abroad.

Put a stop to your nonsense lionel. Full stop.

Alright,
I, with the above monicker, a negro, of Nigerian descent, residing in my house, here with, having been found guilty of gross demeanor bordering on racial comment, with so much contrite heart and humbled shoulder, on this auspicious day, unreservedly tender my apology to the preponderance of the gentlemen of this noble thread.
*in French*
Est-ce que mes excuses sont acceptées ?
Actually should be for "gross misdemeanor" and not "gross demeanor" lol but you're welcome. You're a gentleman.

lionel4power:
in a typical combat situation, the rear helicopter would be providing cover.
Exactly what it was doing the entire duration of the exercise for the inbound helicopter performing insertion of special forces; both helicopters after insertion provided highly dangerous cover in low-level & mid-level combat manoveurs over head the vicinity of interest. The purpose being not only for insertion but also possible extraction depending on operational plan and contingency situation.

Someone as I expected shared the vid here and on Bidexiii's page. You have a blog and should be able to make deductions. The Nigerian Military show cased a world class near real life hostage rescue and silent kill operation.

Not unimaginable but still the Senate inquiry is good for checks and balances. People always steal one way or another even in civilized climes. I think it's welcome. You can imagine that huge sum of money was withdrawn without anyone getting the wiser.

You are on my mind, I eventually would like to see a tracked variation (amphibious) that has navigational capabilities.
Wow! That feels like a turn on. You're right on the money. A whole new level. If the Army orders on the existing production line is good or export numbers turn up would be a great incentive for the companies to push the limits.

For a Nigerian company, 50 is small. If we can afford to get 120 units CS-VP3 from China, 177 APCs from Streit group, i see no reason why we can't get 200 units of this beast.

Innoson still has its own armoured vehicles in the pipeline, including a fresh new company based in Lagos.

I just want to see a 6x6 variant of the ARA, something similar and armed like the Nexter TITUS.
Good point. I hope for this possibility.
