From your bedroom network enabled command centre?


Using a Battalion support weapon at the section level?

Are we in the future? Soldiers now have exoskeletons?

Do you know what a squad is?

Every squad in the Nigerian army will carry and run around with an AGL!

How about a ground attack aircraft dedicated to every company too?

Dum.....b..st thing I have heard since augubugubu.

Deathmachine has cleared this one up. He said himself as well as his colleagues are satisfied with it.

The FN-FAL should go to that role of DMR.

jakeporeshenko:

However, I wouldn't want my son to be separated from his sister in terms of secondary sch, for that Vivian Fowler is out. But I have been hearing about air force secs schs, But I am interested in Air force sec in Ikeja, Lagos. Pls who has information to share about quality of teaching and environment? cheers

Anybody who goes about telling you a polish made beryl assault rifle fires a 5.45×39mm needs a proper education on arms.


This is what bidexiii is saying. He clearly has no idea what he's talking about.

bidexiii:
It's of no point arguing with you.

bidexiii:
Okay the AK's with black polymer butt on page 199.

Now the AK versions the NA and other military arm fields, fires the; 7.62×51mm produced by DICON.

Now the beryl rifle versions fielded by the AFSF and the AK74M fires or is chambered for the new 5.45×39mm rounds. Like the one @M14A1
Posted, which we import till today.

Before the advent of the beryl riffle av seeing few NA soldiers with AK-103 or 104 and even the AK74/74M which are very difficult to differentiate.

kabe1:
No Sir, no Nigerian unit fires the 5.45 ammo. Nigerian commandos from the Navy and Air force, also to a lesser extent the Army, all of those who use the Tavor-21 use the 5.56 ammo.


All other Nigerian units, including the AFSF, Regular Infantry and Mobile Strike Force use the 7.62mm in their rifles or carbines.


The chances of the Nigerian military using the 5.45 is so small, it is virtually non-existent. Hence my conclusion that rifle could only be the AK-103.

kabe1:
It is not one or the other, it is definitely the AK-103. Nigerian infantry fires the 7.62mm unlike the 5.45 the Russians fire. So it cannot be the AK-74M.


It's a very nice rifle, with an effective accuracy of 600meters, that's very good.


What unit has them?

commercial Airlines and airworthiness authorities casually refer to the detailed inspections as "checks", commonly one of the following: A check, B check, C check, or D check. A and B checks are lighter checks, while C and D are considered heavier checks.

C check
This check puts the aircraft out of service and until it is completed; the aircraft must not leave the maintenance site. It also requires more space than A and B checks. It is, therefore, usually carried out in a hangar at a maintenance base. The time needed to complete such a check is generally 1–2 weeks and the effort involved can require up to 6,000 man-hours.

D check

This is by far the most comprehensive and demanding check for an airplane.It is also known as an IL or "heavy maintenance visit" (HMV). This check occurs approximately every six years.[4] It is a check that more or less takes the entire airplane apart for inspection and overhaul. Even the paint may need to be completely removed for further inspection on the fuselage metal skin. Such a check can generally take up to 50,000 man-hours and 2 months to complete, depending on the aircraft and the number of technicians involved. It also requires the most space of all maintenance checks, and as such must be performed at a suitable maintenance base. The requirements and the tremendous effort involved in this maintenance check make it by far the most expensive, with total costs for a single D check in the million-dollar range

Odunayaw:
2 questions

• why do DICON prefer two pouches to 3...IMO 3 shld be the minimum
• what rifle is the guy in the last pic holding ( I just love when a rifle comes in black)

NAF DESTROYS ANOTHER SET OF ILLEGAL OIL BARGES IN RIVERS STATE

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has destroyed another set of illegal oil barges in River States. Two of the latest barges filled with stolen oil were set ablaze by NAF helicopters on armed patrol around Okoromabie and South East of Port Harcourt refinery. The third barge, surrounded by canoes carrying drums, was sited at Onne. While individuals around the barge and canoes fled when fired at, the barge and drums did not explode, indicating the possibility of being empty.

That retarded Africaken254, has contributed his fair share to African military media. Although he is mostly ignorant on some matters, and has his Africaken moments you have to praise the immense efforts he has put in.


He is Maumau, that was his moniker at militaryphotos. Net. He virtually single-handedly ran the African military thread for at-least 2 years.


He deserves an applause for his efforts.

kikuyu1:
The whole gunship concept only works in 3rd and 4th world theatres. Try put a huge slow manouevring platform above any 1st or 2nd world infantry formation and see what happens.

OFF-TOPIC


So, i watched "Taking fire" again, i noticed that unlike previous American Docuseries, the Americans depended a lot more on their primary and secondary weapons.

Any idea what the screen in the Passengers side of the M-ATV is used for, it looks like some sort of screen for surveillance footage, possibly also with thermal features.

The M-ATVs are usually in,

- 2x vehicles armed with 50 CALs.

- 1 x MK-19 variant (1500 meters range)

- 1 x Tow


Their M4s have a range of 600 meters, that's also very good.


On the M-ATV , the vehicle tries to find a balance between armour and mobility, unlike your regular heavy MRAP. Haven Watched CNN's "28 hours in combat" with Arwa Damon, i kinda understand, and now appreciate the balance Oshkosh are trying to achieve with the M-ATV.
