Henry120: Wrong.

1 OBJ-006,
1 AKM,
1 FN FNC
1 AK-74, 150 rounds.

American troops in afghanistan carry 1 M-4A1, 7 MAGs.

Prolonged fire-fight, there are always additional MAG's in the Armoured vehicles.

Nothing changes: 1 assault rifle and 150 bullets. If a Nigerian soldier gets shot in combat he'll likely die from bleeding.

Henry120: "The Nigeria Army said it has developed intelligent devices that will tackle the Boko Haram insurgency.
The Nigerian Army on Wednesday boasted that it has developed hi-tech devices capable of gathering information and intelligence to tackle the Boko Haram insurgency and other acts of terrorism across the country.

The General Officer Commanding, 2 Div., Ibadan, Ahmed Tijani, made the disclosure at a lecture held at the Army formations headquarters in Ibadan.
Mr. Tijani, a Major General, said the sophisticated devices, in form of balloons, were unveiled in 2012.

According to Mr. Tijani, the technology has been upgraded and has a 84 kilometer launch into space.
The Guest Speaker, Brigadier General Nwokoro Ijioma, spoke on the theme, “Transforming the army into a force better able to meet contemporary challenges”.
He said the balloons would be deplored to the hotbeds of terrorism attacks in the country.

Henry120: All NATO troops carry a "personal radio kit".

NOPE. Reminder: Nigerian soldiers carry 1 AK-47 and 150 bullets.

Henry120: Wrong.

The bushmaster and cougar are the most popular MRAPs in the world.

The Casspir is the most popular MRAP in the world,in service with more than 10 nations.

agaugust: Terrain is an issue for both sides in a war. So, you also dreaming to fire indirect 39km away will be missing target a lot, you cannot see the enemy.

If Palmaria can move forward and get h.it by direct enemy fire, then it means the enemy is less than 10km away, so the Palmaria does not need to move in the first place, it has a gun range of 24km

I have not changed since you left the forum....still Augustine....your boss
.

The enemy position is fed to the command post with data links. Fire correction can be done by UAVs ans Reccon units. And NO,it doesn't mean the enemy is 10km away,ever heard about "shoot and scout" which SA gunners perfectly demonstrated in Angola.

agaugust: The Chinese MRAP is new in market, Nigeria is the first to test it in battle and it is good. We have opened it to the world market.

American MRAPs are used by many countries, USA, Britain, France , Canada, Italy, Pakistan, etc...

South African MRAPs cannot match the Americans RPG resistant MRAPs

.

SA MRAPS are used by USA,UK,Finland,Swaziland,Angola,Mozambique,Nigeria lol,Uganda,Burundi etc. The Casspir-NG is still the best.

agaugust: Punishment ? One single RPG will tear it to pieces. It also has only one roof turret for combat...weak point. Even Cobra APC carries 20mm cannon.

Yes,in terms IEDs,mines etc. Turret? You can remove the entire roof to mount whatever you want.

agaugust: .

Best MRAP in Africa....Nigeria

.

Angola Casspir-2000 is the best. It can fit 20mm cannon and take punishment.

Henry120: "Does it change the fact the chinese and americans are the leaders in MRAPs?"......... Nope.

SA is leading. How many countries operate Chinese MRAPS?

agaugust: Palmaria artillery is not advancing alone, you are fighting an army that also has motorized infantry and armoured brigades.......and spy balloons watching all enemy movements. You think in a war, only you will be doing things? Like Iraq thought he was going to kick Iran like a kid ?

Motorised and armoured brigades? Don't you mean "foot brigades"? 200 Cobras?

Henry120: More than 20,000 MRAPs for the chinese, the americans same.

Just shut please.

Henry120: "ITK"....... So off-point. Is this what we were discussing?

LOL crying.

NaijaPikinGidi: Wake up and smell the coffee! Clearly, SANDF is no match for ordinary poachers talkless of BH. I put it to you, everything you have said makes no sense.

LOL ever heard about ZIPRA,Umkhonto we sizwe,AZAPO,SWAPO etc? Don't even talk about that weak BH.

agaugust: Oh really? From you Mike.ZA ? You have been judging Nigerian army on Boko Haram, Chibok girls kidnap, COIN war, cross border Boko attacks....

Now that ordinary Rhino poachers finally defeated your photogenic South African army and air force in battle on your home land soil Kruger park...you change story to explain how difficult it is to fight unconventional enemies

Papa Ajasco, na waah o !

.

Let's talk about things separately. If you wanna talk about COIN,just read about SA recces,Polica task force,Koevoet in the 80s. No freedom fighter could walk in South African towns with guns. The SA army isn't leading the campaign.

Henry120: Actually, the chinese, americans and europeans are.

Nope. How many countries operate Chinese and American MRAPs? From Angola,US,UK,Canada,Denmark,Your Nigeria,Uganda,Zimbabwe,Namibia,Mozambique,Ghana,Finland,Burundi,Rwanda the list is endless operate SA made MRAPS.

agaugust: In that video, the soldier's face, rank, service ID number, corp emblem, etc were deliberately cut off and invisible...go to world court with such a retaarded fake evidence and you lose the case....mumu

Those soldiers in the video could be you and your brother as mercenaries, who knows? You just recommended sh.elling of innocent civilians today.

Mike.ZA the genocide mercenary....m.urderer !
.

Any South African involved mercenary activity will be prosecuted. Like you say "deliberately cut off" LOOL.

agaugust: Fool !!!!!! Palmaria is a self propelled artillery with full armour protection and speed of a main battle rank, it will simply advance forward and close the range gap of your G-7 artillery in 15 minutes or even less.
.
.

In front of artillery sits a line of infantry armoured,mechanised and motorised. Any advance towards them means,FACs with binoculars which can "operate" and send a "request for fire" to C2 systems or designate targets more than 20km away with laser. Ever heard about Ratel EAOS?

NaijaPikinGidi: Question to Mike..ZA remains:

Why has SANDF failed to protect your territorial integrity from the threat of Poachers?

Digest this official quote from your Minister, Edna Molewa:

"Illegal rhino killings have spiked from 13 in 2007 to 1 004 last year, steadily increasing despite the deployment of soldiers in the vast nature reserve."

Don't hide under the bed of conservation. #noroomfordeflectioins

The SANDF is doing boarder patrols and helping other security forces with protection. The deployment isn't complete. No,country can totally close its boarders even the Israelis had to build to walls keep fighters out. But in a war cross boarder raids can be reduced,as South Africa did in Namibia and helped Rhodesia(now Zimbabwe).

NaijaPikinGidi: The obvious uselessness of SANDF over ordinary Poachers is clearly the reason for the shameful "forced removal" of the Rhinos from their natural habitat. You shouldn't be moving Rhinos if your Hollywood SANDF is doing a good job protecting them from Poachers.

What a weak attempt to hide under the idea of conservation!

Yeye dey worry you!

What's happening to lions in west Africa? Dude,you're probably licking the juices off your mouth right now from "bush meat".

PrinxArthur1: SVD-M variant is currently in service in Finland,Iraq,Russia,used in training by US marines etc

You're using as your main sniper rifle. Including the Steyr. Use the bloody as DM rifle.

NaijaPikinGidi: Please slowly read the boldened portions of this news report! Useless SANDF ... incompetent in dealing with ordinary poachers!

[size=13pt]Hundreds of rhino to be evacuated from Kruger Park[/size]

12 Aug 2014 13:35| AFP

The department of environmental affairs has announced plans to relocate 'up to 500' rhino from the Kruger Park in a bid to thwart escalating poaching.

South Africa plans to evacuate hundreds of rhinos from the famed Kruger National Park to safe havens out of horn smugglers’ reaches, Environmental Affairs Minister Edna Molewa announced on Tuesday.

“A decision has been made on this issue of translocation,” said Molewa, announcing an action plan to curb spiralling illegal hunts for rhino horn.

“Relocations from the Kruger National Park and the creation of rhino strongholds could allow the total rhino population size of South Africa to continue to grow,” she said.

The authorities “could relocate up to 500” rhino, which can weigh a tonne or more, said South African National Parks ecologist Sam Ferreira.

Illegal rhino killings have spiked from 13 in 2007 to 1 004 last year, steadily increasing despite the deployment of soldiers in the vast nature reserve.

Status symbol
The animal’s horn – which is made of a similar material to fingernails – is coveted by the Asian middle classes, who use it as a status symbol.

There are thought to be as few as 8 400 white rhino left in the Kruger Park.

Now, some will be moved out of areas of high poaching activity inside the park – such as the eastern boundary that forms part of South Africa’s border with Mozambique.

The alternative strongholds include other state-owned provincial parks, private parks and communal areas. Neighbouring countries are also being considered as hosts, according to the ministry. – AFP

What do you even know about conservation in Nigeria. Cause wild animals=Bush meat in Nigeria.

NaijaPikinGidi: Shut up! Poachers have so overpowered and outsmarted every security operation/measure (by your incompetent SANDF, SAPolice, Game Rangers) ... And just yesterday your weak government officially announced decision to RELOCATE all Rhinos from your Kruger Game Reserve.

A shameful surrender to ordinary, but more superior Poaching force inside the Republic of South Africa.

Hot pursuit. The time where poachers would cross the boarder and smoke a cigarette is over. The SANDF is supporting not leading the fight.

PrinxArthur1: Nigeria uses Dragunov SVD-M variant

Yes,used as a sniper rifle.

agaugust: One day you will end up in World Court life jail for war crimes against humanity.

So says the person who's army slits throats of suspects. Sies.

agaugust: China has overtaken you with Big Foot MRAP

The Casspir-2000.

agaugust: Put your head inside the artillery barrel then we test fire it and 'prove' it's weakness
.

Weak!!!!!!!! LOL even out ranged by the G7 105mm howitzer.

Henry120: My point is, multiple other countries manufacture some sort of mine resistant vehicle. Nothing special about them.

South Africa is leading.

Henry120: All nato troops have a "personal role radio" issued to every infantry man serving in the field.

There is the "comms guy" who calls for air-support and any other assistance. This is different from the personal role radio issued to all troops.

A SA scout can send a "request for fire" with his laser range finder or designator binoculars. Through a data link.

The proper military term is "FAC".

agaugust: Wicked Palmaria of NA

You mean the "Weak Palmaria of NA".

andrewza: they where, just because the follow on force was able to drive them out does not mean that for a brief time BH gained grounded and forced a retreat. And yes it was a retreat, if you colonel needs to dress as a women to escape it stopped being a withdrawal. It could even be seen as a route but they the Nigerians did regain the town with reinforments so I say retreat.

And the long range one is A: not confirmed, that could be a pic of a Mobil HQ B: if true pointless and C: never heard of just turning of the cell tower, works just as good.

How do you think a jammer works, a cell phone jammer jams all cell phones.

In simple the attack was repelled and crushed.
