Wow. Sweet JESUS.

The Mi-24 is a beast of an aircraft. It was attacking targets flying so low to the ground.

Impressive footage.

jteku:
Whatz the source of this list, because this can be typed even from a business center............I can't even see BTR4 in front lines or were they delivered and kept straight in storage.

In my opinion, the numbers conform with what we have seen from photos and reports from the Presidential arms committee set up by this administration.

tdayof:
To the issue of the amount of T72 being operated by NA.
CC; Patches and henry240

Henry was right all along.

A trainer is A TRAINER irrespective of the bells and whistles.

You always seem to be lost and totally out of sync with reality.

No wonder Henry always comes on you hard.

MadeOfBlaq:
One of them has beards, do they allow it or?

That's not the Nigerian Navy. Most likely a maritime sailor.

EMW01:
KDF with what appears to be AH -1 huey cobra helicopters

This is good. Kenya badly needs an Attack Helicopter, not armed or scout helicopters.

MikeCZA:
That's a South African design.

I am aware of this.

newafricaken254:
Singapore ST Kinetics developed TERREX 2 APC has a V-shaped hull to deflect mine(IED) blast away from crew compartment.this is a design which most APC's on the market are required to have,after lessons learned in iraq and most have incorporated this feature

Yes, but the Kenyan vehicle was built along the lines of the French army VAB APCs. These vehicles were built when the threat of IEDs weren't common.

The modern WZ551 from China has incorporated the lessons learned. They now come with a V-shaped hull.

newafricaken254:
we are talking about armoured personnel carriers (APC) not Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP's)

The Kenyan APC was hit by an IED, a threat it is not built to counter. It is a vehicle that is in the wrong place at the wrong time.

MikeCZA:
The frequency of flights?

Like saying why SA Gripens haven't crashed while others have in Europe.

I don't think this qualifies. It is not about the frequency of flights.

We can all compare the flight numbers of the other countries combined to that of India and we would still see the Indian crash rate is still too high and unacceptable.

Algeria operates Su-30s in both COIN and patrol operations, yet we've never heard of a crashed AF Su-30.

HAL needs to be investigated in my opinion. It is not normal the rate of Indian crashes.

newafricaken254:
all of them are cheap sh@t

The Nigerian Big Foot MRAPs have proven to be very effective in combat.

You cannot compare a basic APC to a vehicle designed to counter IEDs. This is were you are wrong.

Can someone explain, why are the Nigerians no longer posting content?

Has anyone noticed the Nigerians and South-Africans are no longer active here?

nemesis2u:
just wanted to ask out of curiosity

has there been any crash of Algerian su30 till date

if yes what was the reason for it after court of inquiry


thanks

Do you have any photos of the Frigate?

Henry240:
Guys, I'll be taking a little break from Nairaland.com for a while.

See you guys when I'm back posting photos and videos. You'll have a nice one, cheers!


Nigerian Air Force EC-135 and pilots.

Oga Henry!

Have a nice break bro, your efforts are most appreciated.

Henry240:
I'd rather not comment, but seeing that ignorant comment offensive aircrafts. You can easily fact check and verify yourself.

*But then, even insane individuals are entitled to their own opinions. That's the beauty of a democracy.

Chai!!

frumentius:
Actually, it's Henry and Frumentius. I'd make the same argument even if it were not Denel Aviation and some company in say Morocco, were Lockheed Martin's only African accredited service centre.

Why do some of you guys call him Henry120, i dont see any 120 on his username, is that like a nick name?

Odunayaw:
umbrellas up folks
here it comes again

Oga Henry and the South-Africans..... Always!

giles14:
he is simply asking a question.
the type 056 vs gowind who will get the upper hand

..but we don't have that, or do we plan on buying it?

lionel4power:
we already know that its an OPV due to its assumed role. The P18N was derived from a corvette. just like NNS Okpabana is a Patrol cutter but we still call it a Frigate anytime we want to refer to it.


your responce is annoying because it is not needed since we all know its an OPV. it shows that you prefer argument over logical discussion.

the question was 'what is the armanment like?' SIMPLE AND SHORT.

Sir, it is an OPV. You cannot compare an OPV with a Corvette.

chkil0:
can you list the armament , radars , systems of NNS centary , NNS unity ?

It is an OPV.

chkil0:
The new Gowind 2500 class corvette for egyptian Navy

102 m , 2500 tons , command of 4 corvettes

The Gowind 2500 capitalizes on DCNS's expertise in vessel stealth. The vessel is equipped with facilities for an embarked helicopter and drones. It is armed with:

1 × OTO Melara 76 mm main gun
2 × Nexter Narwhal 20 mm cannon
16 × VLS for VL Mica surface-to-air missiles
8 × MBDA MM40 Exocet antiship missile launchers
2 × triple torpedo launcher

Electronic warfare & decoys for Egypt's Gowind 2500:

Vigile 200 Tactical R-ESM System
Altesse Naval C-ESM
Sylena MK2 decoy launcher system

Brilliant piece of machinery!!

All of you quoting me since morning... u think u are doing me, u are doing ur sef.
I am a Corp member in Edo state, my immediate elder bro is the Lieutenant.

Una don fall for scam... I am here reading comments and ROTFL

You would have put your brother into trouble. Your comment was completely unwise.

nnamdi1998:
A lieutenant that does not know the meaning of COIN

"Is that one a Lieutenant?"

overhypedsteve:
lol. he told an officer to go and watch cartoon. finally "Nemesis" has caught up with Vikkie.

Why don't you ever post anything productive or sensible in this thread?

abiodunalasa:
I av bin a sideliner on this thread since 2015...and FYI u just break sword with a Lieutenant in the Nigerian Army Mechanised Infantry Division, Kaduna.

Na 4 internet u wan 2 dey form chiarman?


U suppose cover face with dis comment.

Henry240:
So I have caused so many people sleepless nights.

My ribs are hurting!!

Choi!!!


Nigerian Air Force cockpit

Oga Henry, you wicked sha!!

Henry240:
It doesn't help when your military men don't know what they are talking about and require schooling from a civilian.

When they are largely ignorant. I find that to be quite problematic.

LMFAO Oga oh!

Henry240:
This is post I responded to.

Where in this post is performance even mentioned?

So, why do they keep talking about performance? The question asked is primarily about ground clearance.

Henry240:
Do you people have working brains in your heads at all?


I did not compare the IPV with the Polaris ATV. You're even talking about off-road performance which i never brought up. I've made this comment over 100 times, perharps i should translate it to Afrikaans.

Get this into your thick skulls! How many times would i have to repeat myself, are you daft?


In Afrikaans.


Het jy mense werk brein in jou kop nie? Die vraag gevra was slegs sowat grondvryhoogte.
Ek het die IPV nie vergelyk met die Polaris ATV. Jy selfs praat oor off-road prestasie wat ek nooit grootgemaak. Ek het hierdie opmerking meer as 100 keer gemaak, perharps ek moet dit vertaal na Afrikaans.
Kry dit in jou dik skedels! Hoeveel keer sal ek myself herhaal, is jy dom?

Henry240:
It seems some of you have a reading deficiency. My comments to Odunayaw were primarily in response to ground clearance. He (Odunayaw)
complained that the ground clearance needed to be higher, in response i said the ground clearance is standard, using the Polaris to buttress my point. Going further to say even ours carry 2 guns.

Instead of responding to that, I see tons of ignorant comments with no correlation to my original comment on the matter or my follow-on.

Are you sure some of you guys are mentally okay?


This is what i want to know.

"Some of you cannot expect me to believe you're mentally okay".

LMFAO!!


Oga Henry, you got no chill!!

Henry240:
Seleka rebels could not be happier

It was a South-African open season, a full grade baazar.

The fleeing South-Africans provided Seleka with whatever was required.

You want a base, the South Africans got it

ATVs all yours

Armed South-Africans technicals, no issues, we got it.

What about battle vests....... All yours bro.

Holy fvck!!

Oga Henry, you have destroyed these South-Africans.


Hahahahahaha
