I Started my profile on 7 Dec 2014, I roughly spend around 45 minutes a day on Nairaland

You started your profile on 16 February 2020, You've been online for 3 days and 11 hours....that = roughly 96 minutes a day you spend on Nairaland

You spend an hour and a half on nairaland, yet you telling me im on social media to much

You act like you're a teenager. Are you 12?

Why do you feel the need to respond to everything, no matter how inconsequential it is.

Just take a look at this your response.

Better than buying a new one , no OEM will reactive it's production to sell you a single piece

Do you think this is the best defence for Tanks? When defending a location.

Tanks in ditches.

The Russians do it a lot, also Ukrainians, I've seen Turks in Syria doing the same thing.

Are 155mm artillery rounds automatic like a hand gun or light assault weapon?

Or do soldiers need to load each and every one like a bolt action sniper?

Already judging from a 30 sec clip is ignorance at it's best..
It might not even be an ambush for crying out loud

https://twitter.com/FulanNasrullah/status/1250752252110872581?s=19[/quote]It is bad tactics from the Nigerian army. They are behaving like untrained Chadian soldiers.

You don't fight like that.

Soldiers should first disperse. What this does is it makes it harder for the enemy to target Nigerian troops, and makes it easier to respond to the enemy.

When you stack at a place like that, and the enemy is determined, the body count of the NA soldiers would be so high.

It is because of some of these bad tactics own troops lose life and equipment.

I myself was caught in an ambush which I mentioned long time back .

Personally I believe NA needs to revamp it's CT training and lay more emphasis on drills relating to contact drills , immediate ambush drills, counter ambush drills

That's one of the reasons for NA high death rate when troops are in contact.

They so often stack up together. Video after combat video we see this anomaly with regular army troops.

Not the same with specialized troops though.

I agree with the part in bold.

AFAIK in Russian service T-72B3 is an upgraded / refurbished tank not a new built tank perse. Cost will be much lower than 1 million .

That's the main advantage.

with this beast, I doubt if Russia would ever produce the T-14 again.

The T-90m is clearly a beast, but the T-14 is way better. It is like the SU-35S and SU-57.

Russia will buy bought.

Although the T-72B3 is the Tank adversaries should be afraid of. It's a very cheap and good quality tank and Russia has thousands of them.

The T-72B3 cost Russia only 1 million dollars per Tank.

yes its more a heavy short-range MLRS ( 6km max range for the last versions) that move within the combat order of infantry and tanks equipped with incendiary and thermobaric warheads to clear out buildings, field fortifications , bunkers and its extremely effective against entrenched personnel. but its can be mounted only on t72 , t90 chassis ,

pics TOS-1 during Algerian army exercices

What's the max range of the widely used one? The one Algeria has?

So you're saying it has to be accompanied by a Tank and Infantry soldiers?

It cannot move alone with just infantry soldiers?

6km max range for the latest version is not bad.

You use artillery to shell the enemy, then you follow up with this.

What if the enemy has ATGMs how would the vehicle protect itself?

- Nigeria signed the Tucano contract in 2017 and paid for it in 2018
- You ordered 17 vehicles in total, VT4,SH5 105mm and ST1
- The actual contract for your JF17 was signed years ago
- The Ezugwe isn't an 8x8 IFV with several different variants

The contract has been delayed by 36 months according to Denel.........regardless of when the contact was signed, the actual delivery was only supposed to have commenced from 2019.

You know what, Nigeria signed the contract 40 years ago also.

We also ordered 2 vehicles in total.

The actual contract for the JF-17 was signed in 1960, Lord Lugard witnessed it.

The Ezugwu is a cardboard cut out.

Denel is the best and most advanced and most profitable defence company in the world.

The first batch was supposed to be delivered in 2019 with the last batch in 2022.

Also you bought 12 Tucano aircraft in 2017 and you are only receiving it in 2024 ........7 years for 12 Turboprops..........Thus I wouldn't through stones!!

You signed the contract in 2013.

No, Nigeria paid for Tucanos last year. 2019.

Deliveries would commence in 2021.

Nigeria paid for VT4 Tanks and IFVs last year, we have gotten them.

Nigeria completed payment for JF-17 last year, deliveries would commence this year.

Nigeria paid for Ezugwu MRAPs last year, 10 units have been delivered. Another contract was signed last year for 28 units.

Do deflect from the fact that you signed Badger contract in 2013 and you're expecting deliveries 9 years later. That's sad.

Also the delay is no fault of the SANDF but rather the inability to preform from Denels part!!

From the first date the Badger IFV was supposed to enter service to 2022 is how many years?

9 years after the contract for 238 units was signed.

Yes I know i didn't disprove that the Casspir has seen service for nearly 40 years, because i wasn't trying to!! I even agreed with you on that point

The Mamba M3 entered service from 2006-2008, that's relatively new

Also I said there isn't a vehicle on he market today that has better blast protection than the Casspir.......prove me wrong if you can!

It's not a competition, I don't have to prove you wrong.

Well, you have to also take into account attrition of armoured vehicles in the service of the Nigerian army.

We bought 47 Reva APCs in 2015, how many are operational today. There's going to be a lot of wear and tear when you're at war.

That's not the same for South-Africa, were most of their APCs were used 40 years ago.

Take a look at their project to purchase 250 units of Badger IFVs, there is no movement on that and the project has stalled.

P.S , this is not a slight against South-Africa, I think the South-Africa army is doing it's best, but funds are not coming through.

And are still being built and Exported to this day........Also its only the Casspir that saw action in the Border War.

Our Mambas are relatively new with the MK2(entered service in 1995) being upgraded to MK3 standard in 2006-2008.

And FYI there still isn't a vehicle on the market that offers better Blast protection than the Casspir

I'm not talking about the specification of the vehicle.

The fact of the matter is the Casspir has been in service for more than 40 years.

You did not disprove that.

As for the Mamba, a vehicle that entered service in 1995 is not relatively new say.

A vehicle that entered service in 1995, that's 25 years ago is very old. Nothing relatively new about it.

All MRAP APCs that are built today offer very, very good protection against mines.
