A necessary dose of reality about our continent, after days of BS on this thread.

I'm done done derailing this thread... I appreciate Odunayaw that has the balls to stand up to his own countryman and call them out when they are out of line.... Unlike @iblawi that encourages this behaviour but has the audacity to call me out wrt to my debate with Omofaye99

Odunayaw:
Don't destroy this thread! This one has passed banter

True but we also have to note that circumstances are different in every war..

In this case it was basically Russia against Nato weaponry in Ukraine... We are talking about a Ukraine that is able to resupply and replenish weaponry every month.
If this was Nato against Ukraine, The US would have detroyed all air defences and air assets of the Ukraine on week one b4 enforcing a no fly zone over Ukraine airspace thereby mainitaining complete air dominace, then they would have put a blockade on Ukraine territory against getting any kind of military help from outside. And within a month Ukraine would have run out of military supplies, and any kind of replenishment within the territory would have been intercepted and destroyed by fighter jets in a moments notice...
If it had happened in Nato sytle fashion like this, the artlicles would be writing a different story and telling us that mordern conventional wars are determined by air superiority and not artlillery or tanks.

Look for this particular author., it a fun argument
Ukrainian TB-2 records itself being shot down by Russian SAM

The biggest victims of these revelations is the attack helicopter. We have always known them to be particularly vulnerable, but this war has shown just how vulnerable. Russians have lost a dozen or more Ka-52s, one of the most advanced attack helicopters in the world. These machines rely only flying close to treetop level to avoid detection, but this makes them vulnerable to MANPADs thanks to their speed and noise.

This is the cockpit footage of the Ka-52 that was shot down on day one of the war.

If there’s any class of equipment that this war has shown to be obsolete, it would be the attack helicopter. Its role is just better served by UAVs. The role of low altitude close air support is just too hazardous to be performed by human pilots.
Limitations on close air support means that traditional land-based artillery is still king of the battlefield. The war in the Donbas has devolved into a prolonged artillery duel, one that the Russians are winning handily thanks to their vast arsenal of tube and rocket artillery, nearly all of which is from the Soviet era.
The overarching lesson of this war is that fancy weapons don’t mean much if the other side also has them. Eventually, you will be fighting a war of attrition, one where quantity, and not quality, is the deciding factor.

The best we have is paintballs. I have two plugs here in my city.

But they've turned it to a bonding spot for couples! Imagine shooting a lass and saying sorry.

GeneralFarouq:
The restrictions ain't fundamental,
It only to be used against terrorists (NE), where there are challenges in other regions and air assets are needed, the MI series can operate there
More Tucano in NE will free up the MIs from NE to operate in these other regions where they are needed.
And besides with time and good dialogue, these armed groups in these other regions could be classified as terrorist and hence allow the TUCs to fly there.

We need to add an additional squadron of A-29 Aircrafts. It's only logical.

davefurn:
I think we're okay with the ones we have for now; they're performing above expectations as he stated above

Odunayaw:
When I remember the likely restrictions that came with the ones we have now def. I'd happily say we should continue with the numbers we have

kabe1:
Let's wait and see, however I doubt we will see any soon. However you never know.

jl115:
this is why we got problems

Words from that clown, Defense News Nigeria on Twitter.

The Nigerian Navy set up an evaluation committee to persuade the federal government to purchase a Frigate for the Nigerian Navy.

There's no evidence to suggest this evaluation exercise is completed, there's also no evidence to show the Nigerian government has given approval for such purchase.

What we are sure of at this time is, the Nigerian Navy will get an additional LST to support NNS Kada.

Nemesis4you:
What's the status of uavs from tdayofs company ?

Any info ?

Exnavyboy62:
I'm thinking maybe the STM 2400 light frigate because a delegation from Defence headquarters had discussions with Turkey's STM defence industry on procurement of some equipments.
Who knows we might also get the STM light submarine.

Apparently Rwanda has been supporting M23 rebels for decades. Tensions have been up and down for multiple years, it's going up again.

This time around, Eastern African countries are forming an expeditionary force to help the DRC combat M23 rebels.
