Nigerian made vehicles ready for delivery to DHQ

Dstealth:
Are you saying the AW 109 can do the job of the Mi-17s.
Remember the airforce has no medium lift capacity apart from one Mi-17 and two operable puma helos.

jteku:
Non of us here know more than the those making accusations of military hardware for Nigeria military but i keep asking my self why we always go for AW 109 instead of MI 17 ish for Airforce and AW 149 for the Navy, please someone educate me.

abduleez1:
Honest question..... Please how is the Tinubu govt forward thinking and investing in the military like the Buhari regime?
Just curious, cos what I see mostly is continuation of the past regime policies. Any new info I may be missing??

jl115:
where do you think I got it from? Sucked it out my thumb? Its all over the news

bidexiii:
Are these PROFORCE made drones ?

jl115:
Here's what we know, the vehicles a casspir and mamba of the sandf were captured by the m23 and were recaptured shortly after the ambush when SADC forces launched a counter attack, the vehicles however were damaged beyond repair since they were hit by antitank missiles and were blown up rather than being towed back to base, no casualties were recorded due to this ambush which is testament to the design and protection of the mamba and casspir.

The casualty is result of a mortar that hit the base.

jl115:
The fact that the ambush was repelled would logically mean they lost significant amount of men to retreat.

jl115:
No South African base was captured or penetrated, South African vehicles supposedly captured don't have regular SANDF paint scheme makes me wonder if they are not that of other SAMIDRC countries, and 1 dead vs many m23 dead isn't getting whooped bru

Shaytun:
Yeah..Day before yesterday

Mamba and Casspir vehicles seized from the SANDF.

Shaytun:
It seems the SANDF is really getting whooped by M23 rebels.

It looks like they were able to get into the the SADC base and inflict casualties.

UNCONFIRMED: As per AFC-M23 rebel group, this occured at the SADC base near Mubambiro this evening. South African APC (Casspir?) damaged.

They say #SAMIDRC vehicles were then evacuated to the city center of Goma. pic.twitter.com/88AxBAfdy5
