The fn fal is used by sbs.....during selection process.....you need to see people run and falling and instructors shouting you are not fit,go back to your navy....

ocelot2006:
Thats interesting. The FAL is pretty heavy and long. The Tavor suits Special Ops units especially for CQBs. Again i suggest the former be converted to Designated Marksman Rifle OR DICON should come up with a lighter carbine version of the FAL using composite materials and probably shorten the barrel.

What are Nigerian soldiers reporting from the battlefield about performance of Beryl rifle Vs AK-47, any info ? Not sure if NA should adopt Beryl or advanced AK-74. Too many rifle types in Nigeria. Can Beryl replace Galil and Travor too?

frumentius:
I'm told it was either Ghana or Equatorial Guinea. Ghana SF already operates 12 (2014 cost: $850K) so I'm not sure they'd need the additional 15 that were on that ship. Hopefully the Ghanaians on here will let us know. Equatorial Guinea has been buying hardware all over the place (and not bothering to maintain; half their REVA MKIII fleet currently not-operational ) .
We'll have confirmation in April, when the NCACC tables its Quarterly Arms Exports Report to Parliament. Also, some confirmation of whatever Paramount is doing in Nigeria.

Henry, you are a good observer.

But I do not want to answer any of your aforementioned questions, for security purpose.

Hope you'd understand?

Sayelabola:
Borno state, my base.

Sayelabola:
Well done Henry!

I was trained with the Alexandra Kalashnikov's 47, FN and G3 assault rifles.

And i love the AK 47 the most.

Although the AK 59 and AK 74 are also good and better, respectively, but AK47 is still the best.

My reason is because the AK59 has its safety-catch or fire-selector on the left hand side just like the FNs...of course you should know the disadvantage of having a selector on the left.

And as for the AK74, once you exhaust up to 3-4 full loaded magazines, that's all. You muzzle becomes hot and wide opened, and as such getting your target becomes kasala.

I like the Cameroonian innovations.
Modified counter IED measures, upgunned vehicles with double machine guns and the use of cages to protect against RPGs during skirmishes.

I notice also it's rare to see regular soldiers from that country fighting BH, it's always their elites used.

As much as I try to support this thread...I also support my life At the time It was still on the down low...

AnakinSkywalker:
VERY VERY TRUE

BIR is their rapid response troops. It is the Rapid Response Brigade which by their French acronym is called the BIR

Besides only few of the Nigerian Military carry arms like these. Our standard issues are AK-47.

The DSS and Naval Special units do use IMI TAR-21s.

There is a high probability that this is not the Nigerian Army from the photos.

gottfried21:
They have ordered 10 Units so far
After the Defence Expo in SA they listed Zimbabwe and India as possible customers and a third country which chose to remain anonymous...
They will be at the Independence parade on the 21st
The NDF will probably release a few photos later on this month of the Rehearsal
I too have been inside the WMK3(The Prototype one that is) it's possible the best looking MRAP I have ever seen

agaugust:
How many photos are there? I see only thiis one in the story....

ViceAdmiral:
The whole thread is waiting for pics mr.

koastar:
Our troops operation at Ngolshe village. May God continue to give them victory.

agaugust:
Complete waste of money....Rooivalk + Gripen + Mokopa = missed target = ZERO
