Foreign Affairs › Re: Sitrep: U.S. Tanks In Putin’s Backyard; Stealth Planes To South China Sea by overhypedsteve(m): 4:18pm On May 13, 2016

ValerianSteel:
Let me get you clear.

Are you saying these satellites can't pick up imagery of mobile launchers?Or they can't keep track of the launchers when in motion?

If you say they can't pick up the launchers,you are wrong cause for the past decade,the National Reconnaissance Office has built six electro optical spy satellites called KH-11 Standard Satellites,all currently active.

These spy birds have synthetic aperture radar which enables them see through thick fogs and cloud covers.The latest in the Key Hole series is the NROL45 which combines Signal Intelligence(SIGNIT) and photoreconnaissance into one function.It can actively seek while it captures imagery at the same time.

These mobile launchers have one flaw that will easily give them out.The Key Hole series have infrared sensors and use infrared telescope with mirrors as powerful as that of the Hubble Space Telescope,this allows them to easily detect electromagnetic spectrum and heat radiation from the missiles and control systems.

Also,some of these satelites are highly maneuverable.The KH-12 satellite carries up to seven tons of hydrazine fuel which allows it to maintain its orbital altitude against atmospheric drag or to change its orbit in order to better view specific parts of the Earth.

Yes,US spy satelites can see the mobile launchers wherever they are.

Yes,they can keep timely update of their movement no less that ten to fifteen minutes interval.

This is enough time for the F-35 pilot to use the radar on the fighter to get a precise location of the Air Defense System.

a quarter of a second is what it takes to get blown out of an heavily guarded airspace. You feel all the air defence artitecture of the Russian army backed by intelligence from vast network of satellites both Russian, Chinese and Indian owned will just sit back while the yeye pilot is waiting for his hydrazine fuelled satelite to give him info? For every one F22loitering in the skies of Eastern Europe there is a squadron of capable interceptors waiting to shoot that black dot of ineptitude off the sky and then sited in Eastern Europe is the world most advanced air defence systems backed by some of the best target acquisition technology that the world have ever seen and you tell me that any sane pilot would want to go against all of this?

We are talking the United States here bro!The US of A.You probably have no idea what US intelligence Sats are capable of.

next time if you want to reply me please be clear and specific with your points. Every country can make it name sound big, Nigeria of N, South Africa of S and so on should I take it that you cherish and worship the US only thanks the beauty of the name?
I just told you that the same US more than a decade ago had difficulties picking out mobile launchers on the ground which led to the scud attack on Israel In 1991. Why do you think countries even the US favours mobile launchers for air defence

Politics › Reconsidering The Cattle Grazing Reserve Bill: A New Perspective. by overhypedsteve(op): 10:20am On May 13, 2016

There is nothing wrong in Nigerians settling in other parts of Nigeria, we have a federation and so it must remain.

the grazing bill was specifically meant to bring to an end the rising complaints about the activities of the herds men who due to their lack of education do not abide by set law or order and thus are more prone to resort to self defence at the slightest provocation, this grazing bill is a chance for the fulani's to settle and for once start living a non nomadic life which means education and communal living and for all it is worth I think it is a good idea.
The Fulani people are not our greatest problem we have other people creating trouble for the country but we just chose to pick the Fulani people out as scape goats, we have cultist amongst us committing even a more barbaric and primitive savagery but we ve chosen to ignore those ones, we have the Niger Delta Militants perfecting acts of unthinkable destructiveness that is threatening to bring the nations economy into comatose stillness but somehow that is nothing of great concern, we hate the Fulani, they are violent people, they are bush people, they didn't go to school, they smell and they like their cow too much? Is that the question of fact in this case? No. The fulani's are Nigerians by migratory originality just like the Yorubas, the Gobiris who came into the area now called Nigeria from North Africa.

The Fulani man provided Nigeria with the needed raw material for export to other countries most especially to ecowas nations to which we export meat and hides from cattles reared in Nigeria, the illiterate Fulani man you see along the way is contributing to the economy and to the Naira more than a full community of subsistence farmers in the south. We all eat meat and at a relatively cheap price compared to how it is prices in non meat producing countries thanks to the fulani's we could afford a big cow for as little as 120k and use it for our owambe cus that is all we know how to do in the south Consume and Complain. We keep enjoying the benefits of the industriousness of this people but each time the errant one among them does something wrong we blame the whole group, each time we hear a Fulani man rape a lady in the farm the news becomes louder than the jobless old man that raped an 11year old girl in the south, each time we hear a Fulani man killed a man in the farm ( maybe in self defence because we have those that think if they are smart enough they can steal a Fulani man's cow) the news spread faster than that of the robber that killed a whole family in his ungodly operation, we hear a Fulani cow entered a farm and destroyed crops and it becomes more important than the destructive actions of the Niger Delta militants which actions keep us in darkness for weeks when they cut gas supply to power plants. We are not being fair to the Fulani's and I think that is why we have always had issues with them. For those clamouring for cattle ranches in place of Fulani herdsmen my question to them is can you afford a cow trained in a ranch which is two times as expensive as the one trained free range. But the Fulani want to islamise us Na, they didn't islamise you when you are cow meat and assorted for lunch and dinner, they didn't islamise you when you were eating Suya and drinking beer at the beer parlour but now that the need a place to train the cow, they want to islamise you?

ValerianSteel:
Stop whining about the S-400 and the S-500.

Two things that currently gives the US advantage over Russia's advanced ADS.

Enhanced radar and satelite imagery support directly fed unto the pilot's helmet.You do know the United States has more spy satelites than all of Russia's satelites combined.While the new ADS are mobile,it doesn't do much to stall America from smoking them.

With advanced radar of up 2010km incorporated into the F-35 systems.It gives the fighter a strategic advantage over the ADS.So if reconnaissance is carefully executed using US spy satelites.The F-35 will be able to receive forehand satelite imagery and locations of these batteries.Since they are mobile batteries,they may be moved but the pilot already has a location and with support of the satelites he can narrow his seek to kill mission deploying the advanced radar.Definitely the satelites can update the pilot on movement of the mobile batteriesTell me who sees who first.

In the case of a nuclear attack.While these batteries are well equipped with very fast missiles but they fail on long range radar.Especially the S-500,it's doomed without an effective early warning system.Russia basically relies on Ground based systems within Russia alone.For a wannabe super power,Russia needs to up her game ASAP.

Am sure you know US European Command Missile Shield in Romania is online.That's one in several others positioned around the globe.With an active space based early warning system,the United States has cemented strong defense against ballistic missile launches.Where Russia invests in missile speed,America invests in knowing when a launch takes place and how to shoot it down immediately.

Goodluck to Russia and her new toys,there's a reason America spends $10billion on outsmarting you guys yearly and maintaing her global qualitative military edge.

this is one of those people that think raw intelligence is actionable. Do you know how complicated GeoInt is? Do you know how long it takes to translate raw satellite feed ( most especially complicated ones like that of the location of a mobile launch vehicle) into actionable intelligence. During operation desert storm the world learnt a new strategy when the US spent days trying to seek out Iraqis Mobile scud launchers they did not find any and thus a new strategy was born from the statement of a US general during the war " seeking a mobile launcher in a place a theatre as big and dynamic as this(Iraq) is like seeking for a needle in a haystack" that was what the General had to say about Iraq and Scud mobile launchers now let's talk about Russia the largest single sovereign territory on earth how do you plan on starting a wild goose chase of mobile launchers in their heavily defended airspace that's like a pilot signing up his death certificate. You know there is a mobile launcher somewhere that can shoot you down, then you want to rely on some foggy satelite feed to find it when the mobile launcher's operator is watching you in 3D and perfecting a very destructive manoeuvre on your behalf? Lol. My conclusion is that, it may take hours if not days to carefully study certain intel most especially as related to geographical intelligence. A mobile launcher along a mountain range would be impossible to detect, a mobile launcher under a woody environment is like a green snake in green grass. Not even the best tech would seek it out.

Why do you want the A10. The supper Tucano will ne just has deadly vs BH cost less to fly, requier less ground support in time, man power and resources, have a faster turn around and generally be more cost effective. You fighting coin warfare not trying to defend the west against a hord of soviet tanks. The Tucano was built for the type of war you fighting.

Well only 1 sub Saharan African country could respond to a sub. So dont it not a big deal you cant stop one. Since no one in your sphere oprats submarines.

You may be getting the same deal Afghanistan got. They got 20 Supper Tucano's spare parts and training from America.

the world today is beginning to go beyond the concept of present threat to foreseeable threats, Boko Haram was severely mishandled and it created a terrorist bloc in west Africa. That's because during the early days of the Al quada and Taliban insurgent movement African nations were busy using their armies to chase arm robbers and street hudlums they believed the threat from these insurgent group was not real nobody thought of monitoring the Tuaregs in Mali or the bandits in the lake Chad basin area (MNJTF that was supposed to do so had no strategy,structure or support). Now the threats of terrorism is real and we have lost our citizens to their barbaric activities but still yet we have not learnt anything from losing anyone, we have not learnt anything from the Al shabab killings of school students in Kenya and we have not learnt anything from the kidnap of school kids in chibok, what have we done to ensure that this embarrassing tragedies do not repeat themselves? The Nigerian government had a hard time identifying the missing girls and even claimed it was all a propaganda because we do not have a national identification infrastructure that works, and then there was a series of claims and disclaimers and we started begging for foreign aids to rescue the girls(now we know we need advance surveillance and search and rescue platforms, now we know we need knowledge in GeoIntelligence but we use to think it was not in our strategic doctrine to buy high tech stuff but now we need it to rescue our kids and our head of state would have to beg on our behalf)Look at Kenya, what have they done after the university attack are they stationing men to secure institutes of learning round the country or are they just creating rapid responds squads whose primary duty would be VIP protection. we need to start drafting out forseeable threats and building our armed forces to fulfil these roles. What would happen if a rogue state decide to invade a west African anglophone ally what will Nigeria do? What will happen if a Francophone state close to us allow its territory near us to be used for atomic weapon test what will Nigeria do? What will happen if our oil assets in the Gulf of Guinea come under attack by a capable state competing for share in the international oil market what will Nigeria do? What will happen if pirates seize a missile armed frigate and bring it to our coast to effect damages what will Nigeria do? What will happen if Fulani herdsman kidnap young kids from a school in the Mid belt and take them to Neighbouring Mali? What will happen if South Africa comes under a white supremacist regime and our problematic brothers from the south becomes even more problematic, what will happen if the world turned upside down and Africans were the only ones caught unprepared?

What did we put in place to protect the little we have achieved in development over the years? Are we protecting anything at all? 20 super Tucanos as a Nigerian national security objective at the ending phase of a war you fought with four alpha jets? we have the EEZ to protect, we have the Gulf of Guinea to police and all we are thinking of is 12 super tucanos for Boko Haram. Why not give them the money for the jets and beg them to stop fighting?

U.S. seeks to approve attack aircraft for Nigeria in Boko Haram fight

WASHINGTON, May 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. administration is seeking to approve a sale of as many as 12 A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft to Nigeria to aid its battle against the extremist group Boko Haram, U.S. officials say, in a vote of confidence in President Muhammadu Buhari's drive to reform the country's corruption-tainted military.

Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook

@ this point in the anti terror effort with the success already recorded and with Nigeria knowing the fact that the US is seeking for glory credits by selling its equipment to Nigeria, then I think it would be fool hardy to just settle for Tucanos. If the US is not ready to sell us A10 Wathogs then let them forget it. Nigeria will not continue dropping bombs in its territory forever what happens when we are done with Boko Haram will the Tucanos be used as trainers. Super Tucanos? Nonsense.I was in a class on intel management the other day and the good professor talked about the day a submarine showed up in Lagos how the guys in the Nigerian defense head quarters were almost peeing their pants because they knew nothing about its presence in Nigerian waters. Up until this moment nothing have been done about it. But I know that we may buy super Tucanos at the closing phase of a war that we fought the hardest parts with obsolete airframes with much success because there are those who must benefit from each spurious arms deal, those who do not know if there is a national interest to care about. If we need super Tucanos why not buy new ones from Embraer Brasil directly?

Everybody interested would nominate photos, however all photos nominated would have to have been uploaded in the last 6 months (Jan-Jun).

I don't know if categorising would work. Not all countries are involved in COIN, training photos, what if a country also doesn't have ?

it would still work out. Each person could nominate a photo from any country of choice. So a Kenyan can nominate a Nigerian training photo for training photo category if there is non from Kenya. A Nigerian may just choose to nominate a South African aircraft in the aircraft category( like you did last year). So nominations doesn't have to be restricted to countries of origin. Thanks to the improvement in kits in the NA we may just add a category for best kit and see if we win that spot. It won't be about country of origin this time lets just use this one to unite each other reduce the friction. let's nominate freely, even if your country didn't participate in any exercise that year still nominate a pics from another country.

We let this matter die, now you are resurrecting it with extreme prejudice

Oga Henry has been relatively even-handed in most of his analysis

Why is it that when someone doesn't worship una demi-God he automatically becomes a target?

As far as i recall, a 6 months Blietzkreig under Jonathan neutralized most of the threat.

Buhari is doing his best as he knows how but i still have not seen him buy any weapons or equipment

All equipment being used now are from the previous administration

If you keep going along this path of propounding a political argument, u will destroy this blog

By the way, i thought the plan for command and control was for the service chief to be based in maiduguri?

Why are they sill not based there 1 year after??

All these smoke and mirrors sef

there are those who would see things for what they are and there are those who will tie a red ribbon over their eyes and claim to still see things. the allegiance of every citizen is to the government in power, that is how we build and uphold the national moral. Have a nice evening Gent.

my subsequent post was to justify it.

me I don't dabble into politics or start taking sides with any political party even here on nairaland. many people will attest to that.

my grievance is that how come oga henry quickly tagged my post as political (which it isnt by the way) and attacked it.

the object of the post was to focus on the t 129 attack and how Nigeria lost out in acquiring it.

oga @henry240 abeg we all needs to chill Nigeria is already tense as it is, people are not seeing the dividends of their vote.

Oga Henry started condemning the administration before it came to power, he regarded all the accusations of corruption made on top officers of the past administration as baseless, he is rarely seen making comments commending the present administration on its successes in the anti terror campaign and he would have us believe he is not partisan but championing the rule of law.

i read a news article there were some nigeria troop who couldn't get suppliers because boko haram kept placing IED's on routes they used,thats the same tactic alshabaab is doing.during the afghan and iraq war due to the threat of constant IED attacks american were even forced resupply some outpost using helicopters,even troop movement.this basically what boko haram is plotting ,you continue taking more territory and then they start overrunning those isolated outposts

recovered territories would have to have some sort of military presence. There is nothing bad in re supplying an outpost using helicopters. It is the responsibility of the men of the outpost to ensure that their sphere of influence is completely stable and free from pockets of terror cells that may want to cause trouble.

Henry240:
I suppose you mean it isn't cost effective. Where would militaries in Africa get the money to finance outposts like that. That particular US military outpost cost nothing short of $15 - 20 million to construct.

It is great, but where would the money come from, are we going to sh1t $20 million for every El adde and Doron-Baga. When we are done building at this cost, would we then kneel down, pray to God to give us money for Ammo, equipment and APC because we have invested all our money in building 4 outposts?

What we should do is to develop cost effective military solutions to our monumental problems, just as the Russians did in Syria and not to fight wars like the US or it's NATO allies, who even by the way do not even have the money to fund their militaries like the U.S. The U.S contributes 73% of all NATO funding.

I do not see anything expensive in the structure of that outpost, in the case of Nigeria one could use oil barrel painted in camouflage pattern in place of the bastions the Americans used, Troops could be made to do most of the work there. The only expensive thing about the American outpost is the high tech systems inside. One cannot ignore the importance of such a military outpost In a violence prone area to protect the civil populace there especially now that we are talking about returning people to the areas liberated from the insurgents. We will need outpost like this and even more to carry out patrol in resettled areas, relate with the people and try to gather Intel on the activities of remnant terror cells in the area, we of course know that some of the people that will be coming back to the liberated area would be persons working for terrorists, so without an outpost like this with the capacity for quick response how do we plan to protect some of this areas.

3; D.S.S.C is a 9 month intensive military training for professionals drawn from various disciplines to serve as officers in the non combat services of the Army, Navy and the Air Force. while N.D.A is an instituition or academy where they train future military officers.
and i dont know if you have ever heard of the S.S.C ; SHORT SERVICE COMMISION.

i hope you know that even if you join the ARMY through D.S.S.C your chances of seeing combat is 1 over 100......? and thats why the military has the short service commision *S.S.C* FOR GRADUATES WHO WANT TO SEE COMBAT....!

in order words you can join the navy,army or airforce through the S.S.C to see COMBAT

hope i was able to answer your question...

Kai!!!it is not good to encourage a man to throw away his life. Just joking.

Boss is what are the chances that one would get into the service if he have already established himself in other areas of life, like I have a big business but just want to join the army for adventure and fun as a SSC officer?

Mumu talk. Rodriguez want the IS senate to continue to sponsor the useless AFRICOM project by lying to them that there is problem where there is none. What does he mean by significant territory and how do we define that. What square mile of territory would we call significant? Africans should not allow white people to just turn their head every time. Boko Haram is not holding any territory that is the word of an African leader leading the assault against Boko Haram who is Rodriguez and what business does he have with Boko Haram what are his contributions?
