There are also reports that Putin is preparing for a long war ...either way the myth of Russian military superiority is long dead.

NTSA:
Both sides aren't winining .

davefurn:
Wow, enlighten us about the war you had with Russia; I'm kinda learning here too. How did it go, What caused it?, How did it end....... Browsing on it, not seeing anything credible here, just Russia-Ukraine . I will love to hear the full story or any links to it

Russia donated those to South Africa in the 80s... They left them on the field as usual


So are we military expects? There's a reason why the best fighters in the continent live in the South. War strategies are built-in

GreenandGold:
Actually, this is when you should conceal your artillery the most.

2nd, you don't attack an enemy that has artillery with your short-range arty like what Russia is doing because counter-artillery is a b#tch.

3rd, if you can't conceal then you should use self-propelled to change position after firing a few rounds.

Those are on the 1st page of Artillery School 101

Any pictures of Zimbabwean army vehicles? Besides the coup photos they are hard to find it seems.

DRC has unknown number of 2nd generation Plasan SandCats - in 2015 it was reported DRC wanted to buy Georgian made Didgori-2s, but a year later, in 2016, Georgian officials had rejected the deal. Thus it's likely DRC went on to buy Plasans instead for it's Republican Guard. Spotted on 2018 parade

Buschlaid:
Any links to Ukrainian sources?

MAN1960ii:
After SDB3 I was expecting the Navy to build something like this an OPV, I think this size will be about 50m or 55m

shadowprimezero:
Yeah, sure. Russia Today (RT), the Kremlin's main state sponsored news outlet is known for its absolutely balance and truthful reporting and has no motive of ever churning out fake news in favor of Russian troops

Because my company's clients do a great deal of business in Nigeria, Ghana and the greater ECOWAS region, I consume a lot of Nigerian and west African media content.
I have not come across any official explanation of why specifically the Nigerian government voted with the West twice at the UN on Russia's aggression against Ukraine, and then abstained on the 3rd instance. I have my own hypothesis, which rightly, can change depending on more information coming to light. I shall therefore, refrain from putting my perspective forward, lest it contaminate this query.

So, from the Nigerians here, why do you think your government adopted the stance it did? Why, with all the knowledgeable facts did they vote the way they did on those 3 occasions? Why can't I find any public explanation of their shifting stance? Last, in the absence of opinion survey data, what is your sense of public opinion on the issue?

Concerning that, Nigeria just decided to play their international politics well; heard the Nigerian army led a delegation to the Russian embassy recently. Nigeria is now trying its best to play neutral but nevertheless US have been very helpful in their humanitarian efforts in north-east. On my take on the snake island and lose of mi-8 controversy; too many confusing statement but I will drop this: the former commander of the 10th Naval Aviation Brigade of the Ukrainian Navy, Colonel Igor Bedzai according to some ukrainian sources.
Modified: according to them, he was among the very best pilots they had.

https://ukrainetoday.org/2022/05/08/one-of-the-best-pilots-of-ukraine-died-in-a-battle-with-enemies/

According to them, he died on the May 7th on the day of the snake island raid; let's not jump to conclusions yet.
It's from this little pieces of information we can atleast get an idea of what is going on in ukraine presently despite the fog of war and propaganda from both sides. Posted a pic of the Russian mod on the snake island situation

Concerning the tb2, I have been forced to ask myself between the tb2 and the orlan 10 UCAV which have been more effective in this war. Let's forget about those switchblades and suicide drones that the US hyped that even the propaganda video of it was somehow a failure

Reportedly the first video of a Switchblade loitering munition strike on Russian troops by Ukraine's 53rd Mechanized Brigade.https://t.co/dF8RlPWm5a pic.twitter.com/6XKnm7SLBI

Haven't seen any videos of the american tanks yet, maybe in the coming days we will see it.

Lastly, seems british newest brimstone missiles are kinda faulty.
Note: I posted mostly sources tilted towards the Ukrainian side of the propaganda.

PS: the videos going round on the media of dead Ukrainians soldiers in trenches, is very appalling and left to rot

DaddyGoo:
Good news! why not the battle proven Bayraktar TB series though?

Balogunodua:
OK! thanks.

But are they still under construction ?

Balogunodua:
Sorry but is this the ship that is to be equipped with mistral missile?

Balogunodua:
Is this the drone Nigeria government purchased from Turkey?
I taught it's TB2 ..
