Whatz ur favourite weapon

the one with brown leather booths

lionel4power:
Israel's continuous attack on Syria have started making me doubt Russia's air defence systems capability

I don't doubt the Russian system only that dey don't want to be drawn into the secondary war.

but I thought the Iranians said they have a system more capable than the Russian S300 sam.just wondering why their are not yet deployed.

SternProphet:
Israel will destroy or render useless any S-300 or S-400 systems delivered to Syria. They don't have to use just one airstrike.

it will depend on the relationship BTW them and Russia then Russia and syria

lionel4power:
the missile hit the pantsir S1

I believe it was its potency that made the Israeli strike it.

http://alert5.com/2018/05/11/video-of-israeli-air-strike-on-syrian-pantsir-s1/ seems like the pantsir is a very potent system

iblawi:
Instead of waiting for block 3 we better go for MIG-35 like Egypt did. If we go by what is on paper, JF17 block 2 would be wonderful for the price. we can then compliment it with MIG-35 that uses same engine and carry similar weapons.

MIG-35 is still far better than block 3 and block 4 that is to come. We can always use MIG-35 to fill gaps the JF17 can't fill. Just that JF17 need to prove their worth first.

very good idea,

atleast dey both use same engine reducing maintenance nightmare

Covert1:
Being a dedicated attack helo doesn't equate more sophistication; that is a matter of roles.

At this very moment the NAFs Mi-35Ms are the most modern and sophisticated of all Mi-series combat helicopters on the African continent.

am not surprised,

maybe even the the A29 tucano are the most advanced jet on the Africa continent

newafricaken254:
probably he thought he could safely land the plane.he wouldn't want to loose a 4++ jet ,be assumed he choose to ejected too soon and lost an expensive jet

maybe his a young pilot with not many fly hour

lionel4power:
you have a zero-zero ejection seat... why not use it?

I wonder o.
and the pilots knowing fully that it was birdstrike should have bail out

shobroy10:
The news get K-leg as much as i hate Buhari and dislike APC I don't like lies either.

Kenya defence forces (kdf)

I know for sure the Kenya military don't operate the mil 28

frer8:
KENYA ARMY...BRITISH ARMY

really envy the Kenyan army always on training

Frumentum:
The Wagner PMC from Russia is now operating in Bangui, after getting their arses royally kicked in Syria by the Yanks. We went in there to train their army -not loot their mineral wealth- France activated her colonies in the neighbouring states in raising and supporting Seleka.

Vlad the Thug will try to take over the entire country - will be interesting how, as kikuyu1 says, Jean Fraude always responds when her African vassals are threatened by a new liege.
But, respond they shall.

Nota Bene: Open source info.

I did not see any arses kicking only that they went to where they are not suppose to be. should he us France or Brit special force get close to any of the Russian bases in Syria same faith awaits them...

enough of this rubbish that he jumped out of a moving vehicle,
he must be supernatural to jump out of the moving vehicle without any fracture, head injury, disjoined joint etc.

newafricaken254:
the general was talking about AC-130 gunships not EC-130,he was misquoted.

like seriously.

MISQUOTE

nemesis how market?

it seems like your country has a new strategic partner.
thereby dishing the old one.

or should I call it decamping

frankdoz:
IPOB west African are formidable , these are pictures of die hard Biafrans who travelled from different west African countries to witness the Ecowas court case between Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Nigeria government , from a reliable source many other IPOB Members are on their way to join them in Bamako.

IPOB is determined to establish their presence in Mail and build a stronghold in Mail .we encourage our people in Mail to join these hardcore Biafrans to support and come out to join the IPOB .

pls is Biafra an all Igbo affair

Henry240:
I believe there were Russian advisors in the area. The amount of missiles shot down is impressive. However 30 year old systems shooting down top of the line missiles shows the durability of Russian systems.

"Imagine if the systems used were S-400's?".

don't forget Russian weapons are cheap but highly capable.


also this is a source of practical lessons for Hezbollah and the Iranian military.

Henry240:
Nemesis, how would you access the performance of Syrian Air Defenses against tomahawks, Scalp and Storm shadow cruise missiles (fancy names )?
Reports are claiming Air Defenses shot down 71 missiles of 103 fired. Pretty good, but let me get your opinion seeing India operates lots of Russian ADS.

oga Henry in my own humble opinion thou it might not be need.its either the units that shot the missiles down are Russians or are Syrian units supervised by Russians.

Henry240:
Russian SU-35s Cockpit.

very nice

Henry240:
There is nothing truthful about the rant made by Lionel4power.

The United States spends almost 700 billion dollars on defence, it has the capacity to spend way more than that. At 700 billion it's more than 5 times the amount China in second place spends per year.

In terms of of modernity of the force, China's Air Force fighter fleet is mainly composed of the F-7.

China has only one operational aircraft carrier, carrying at most 35 aircrafts, even if we give 3 to China, you cannot compare it to the 11 the US has. US aircraft carriers carry up to 80 aircrafts.

Most people forget the US also has LHD's that carry F-35s. The US has the world's largest forward force projection. The US military might is simply un-matachble in the history of the world.

In terms of combat experience, the US has been engaged in 55 different wars/armed conflict since the end of WWII. That's nearly 72 years of non-stop combat.

Manpower currently stands at 1.3 million, this is without conscription. A modern force.

Most people support Russia or China because humans generally enjoy an under-dog story.

If the US did not enter WWII, Germany could have taken over Europe, that's how good they are.

can't say of england or France but Poland can stand up to Germany

nemesis4u:
If fighting between Americans and Russians breaks out only one country stands to gain in a major basis , guess which country ?

china

5 homosexual were last week arrested at Egbe area of Ikotun Lagos while they while fighting after contracting HIV.

One of the men identified as Ezeugo who is HIV positive allegedly infected his first lover with the deadly sexually transmitted disease.

He was about to sleep with another lover he brought into the house when the first boyfriend he infected raised an alarm around 2:18am this past Tuesday.

The place soon turned into a war zone before their co-tenants put a distress call through to police.


The suspects between the ages of 20 to 31 , Marvellous, Dara, Ezeugo, Akachukwu and Abuchi were picked up by police around 3am.

Two of the suspects are from Lagos while the three others are from Cross River state.

Concept : Deploying Army MLRS from Navy Ships for Coastal Fire Support Missions

[img]https://defensenigeria.files./2018/04/2018-04-08-00-08-37.png?w=980[/img]


The Nigerian Navy is ranked 4th in Africa by GFP (Global Firepower). It is indisputable that the main criterion for assessing the Navy of any country is in tonnage.

Nevertheless the amount of sea based firepower available to a navy can be an equally important way of assessment when each unit of investment can achieve the greatest possible positive net effect.

Unfortunately while Nigeria has invested over $1 billion in naval acquisitions in the last five years, there is no single vessel in the Nigerian navy equipped with weapons tha can deliver ordnance at ling distances. The decommissioning of NNS Aradu created a capability gap in the Nigerian Navy.

Paradoxically the solution to this problem might lie with the Nigerian army.

The possibility of putting an RM-70 MLRS on warships might not be farfetched. The two major shortcomings of the Nigerian Navy is a lack of precision land attack capability and organic unmanned ISR. Since Nigeria is reluctant to invest in missile launch systems at sea, sea based rocket artillery might not be a bad idea.
Placing RM-70 MLRS on warships will give Nigeria navy the ability to strike deep into enemy littoral territory from standoff distances out at sea, which will also enable a reduction in reliance in air power to deliver over the shore attack.

Two RM-70 on a frigate or coastal craft makes for a potent 120 nm range projectile. Just imagine multiple launchers firing multiple rockets on area or multiple target being from a Nigerian Navy ships !


https://defensenigeria.com/2018/04/07/concept-deploying-army-mlrs-from-navy-ships-for-coastal-fire-suppirt-missioms/
==========================

pragmatic approach to deterring foreign aggression but the writer did not explain to us how he intends to solve the inherent accuracy issues.

firing rockets blindly might saturate or overwhelm the target when in close range but anything longer than 5km the rockets salvo strike cone would increase dramatically.

maybe you meant guided projectiles which is plausible However, Close in weapons systems like the Phalanx mounted on ships negates such concept.

I could be wrong though.

SternProphet:
No, these things don't work against Boko Haram. Their tactics are based on sacrifice of lives not battle - craft. They come with fast vehicles, don't stop and offload hoards of suicide bombers throwing IEDs. In the distractions, others are crawling towards you with RPGs. Mobility is the best weapon. Retreat quick, then hit them really hard from stand off distances.

We need 300 more MRAPs and lots of ZU-23-2s

boko haram is not our only problem. the Cameroonian army transverse our borders along the calabar axis with impunity

guys how possible is it to convert our Vickers n t55 MBT to combat support vehicle(eg russian bmpt). since our BMP 1 are very few in number.
