Henry240:
It should be aptly titled the anguish and butthurt of pained South-Africans. Anyway, I don't have their time.

overhypedsteve:
ok. look like somebody in the US congress is interested in saving the lives of Kenyan pilots. the AT-802 is not designed to perform the role that the kenyans and the guys at L3 Technologies want to force it into.

paragraph 4&5

hanging weapons on the AT-802 is an old farm pilots idea of a joke for African Militaries.

Henry240:
Odunayaw, compare. You can see the ground clearance of our ATV and that of the Polaris used by US Special forces are the same. In terms of Armarment, ours is even better armed.

We also have more room to keep more stuff, Ammo and the likes.

Henry240:
This is the statement from the manufacturers of the ATV, the Nigerian army.




"The Infantry Patrol Vehicle (IPV) with off-road mobility and a crew of three was one of the star attractions at the summit. Weighing 650kg and powered by 150-200 Horse Power Engine, the IPV has a 130 kilometre per hour capacity.
It provides force multiplier and the required flexibility to undertake all tasks across the entire spectrum of military operations, including range fighting, fast action mission, urban and border patrols.
The IPV is fitted with two machine guns and have been deployed in all the theatres of operation."

If they are ever in need of your "expert" opinions on the ATV, I'll be sure to point them to this thread. Until then, you can have a very good evening.

A civilian snapped one of the frigates in off the north coast of Durban. Will try upload the photo

ActivateKruger:
What are those... Never heard of them.

ActivateKruger:
I'm watching the whole thing on Facebook Live... The action is in Downtown Durban.

Frumentius, I saw some troops using black unmarked Mercedes Vitos "assaulting" some insurgents in a white Mercedes Sprinter....are these COIN units or Military Police?

Tinfoil:
Typical example of what a white supremacist thinking. Africa is still emerging from the yoke colonialism and the birth pangs of freedom are painful. Japan is for Japanese, China Chinese and South Africa for Africans not boers

Henry240:
**** it also seems the Nigerian Navy is interested in a Naval helicopter from Airbus helicopters. The Nigerian Navy might procure the Panther helicopter from France. This helicopter. I guess we would all wait and see.

ActivateKruger:
So that means we could get something like this?

frumentius:
Nothing really. The idea was they'd be Unconventional/COIN specialists. Our structure is an untidy mess and I can't wait for some real change.

I'm in agreement with the guys at ADR on our ORBAT:

PIC: Current Infantry Formation (Regulars and Reserves)

jakeporeshenko:
Nigerian AFSF

frumentius:
Oh ja, 21 SAI, based out at Doornkop. That's odd, they should be there instead of the 3 Reserve units.

frumentius:
Yep. And then absorbed into both 1SAI and 8SAI.

Henry240:
The South-Africans, Patches689, Frumentius and Activatekruger have become complete and utter nonentities to this thread.

It would be a major relieve for the vast majority of us if they can do us a favour and totally quite posting in this thread.

Henry240:
Your concern should be posting on topic

Henry240:
Good, your irrelevant opinion has been noted.

Henry240:
A vast majority of the people here don't care. Quit derailing the thread.

Henry240:
You are so fond if derailing this thread. It seems to be like a serious psychological issue with you.

africaken254:
they destroyed china by flooding it with opium

bantudra:

bantudra:

africaken254:

africaken254:
go ask your mother

bantudra:
the moors told the europeans were america was...the whites didnt explore anything...

africaken254:
European renaissance my A$$ ,Chinese explorer Zheng He's ship(THE LARGE SHIP)which sailed as far as east Africa compared to Christopher Columbus' Santa Maria ship .both lived and sailed at the same time

Seened:
Hi Patchesagain, I am interested in the dawn period of the European Renaissance and the factors that birthed it.

For the purpose of preventing a derailing on this thread kindly use the Technical Discussion thread of Nemesis2u to explain the correlation between the black death/bubonic plague and the Renaissance. Mention me when you do. I am excitingly waiting for your thoughts (hopefully Nemesis2u will oblige on his thread).
Thank you.
