Wow. Last course,over 700 cadets graduated. This course, we're seeing only 260. Were they dismissed?

Personally, on the MRAP and IFV debate, I'd prefer the IFV. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have alot of MRAPs in large numbers too. Why? We need a troop carrier with massive firepower. Something an MRAP can't do simultaneously.

In as much as we see the IFV as a game changer, IMHO, it isn't. The problem has always been our TRADOC. Training and chain of communication/command is a big issue. IFV won't bring anything different. For Heaven sakes, we bought T-72M1s thinking it will win us this war. The T-72M1s are in fact, an overkill. I'm very familiar with tanks, i know what they can do. The T-72 tank is equal to atleast 10 IFVs. The only thing that an IFV offer differently, is troop transportation. An IFV trade, firepower and armour, for troop transportation and mobility.

My Final verdict :The Nigerian Army already have enough weaponry to win this war. We need to improve troop training and welfare. Our engineers are suffering a maintenance nightmare. Standardization of equipment is required. Investment in manpower to ensure a quality Junior officer corps and quality leadership.

They sent so many terma 5 kids back home some months ago. Some were even sent packing for crimes they committed in terma 1.

Nope. I srudy them. They marry tech to doctrine and to tactics. They get very familiar with their weaponry very fast

Watch crime rate increase

A better approach should have been taken to pay for their crimes

Maybe demote them to terma 3 or absorb them as NCOs,,but outright dismissal of people trained for battle and leaving them to the mercy of society is the worst approach

Some commentator's are going overboard over the IFV thing. Someone asked which do you prefer between the military acquiring an IFV or MRAP. Nobody said an IFV is a game changer. I said an IFV is more suitable because it gives us fire superiority over the enemy in a battle. Do we have to lose soldiers because we know how to use HMG's? Why don't the US GI take on the Taliban head on at all times since they, (Taliban) use ak47s. Why call in warthogs with 30mm gathling guns? It's because the lives of their troops is precious to them. I give no apologies, we don't have to engage bokoharam on equal terms. Drop the MRAPs and pile on the IFV's. We can use a few MRAPs forward of IFVs in a patrol.
Again the comparison is between MRAPs and IFVs.

Addressing this MRAP vs IFV question.

The mistake made is comparing one against the other, or asking commentators to choose 1 from the two.

It's similar to asking us to choose between the MI-17 & MI-35.

First, what is an MRAP?

An MRAP is an armoured military vehicle designed to provide protection against mines, IEDs and any road side bomb.

The MRAP was created in Southern Africa, either South-Africa or Zimbabwe. During the vehicles early days, it was simply known as an APC.

Popularity of the word MRAP, the Americans coined the word MRAP, hence the now widespread usage. The earlier American MRAPs were imported South African APCs.

The main difference between the MRAP and the regular APC is a higher ground clearance and a V-shaped hull.


An IFV or Infantry Fighting Vehicle

An IFV is any military vehicle that transports troops to the front line and supports, provides fire support for those troops.

So an IFV could be a Toyota pick-up truck with a GPMG gunner or an armoured 8x8 armed with calibers from 30mm and above ATGMs and reconnaissance equipment.

As long as that military vehicle transports troops to the frontlines, and provides fire support, it is an IFV.


However for the purpose of this discussion, we know which particular IFV our good friend is referring to.


The first thing I think military planners in Nigeria consider is cost.

So while an IFV is armed with a 30mm, including ATGMs and all the sweet stuffs, a single unit without ammo, training etc could cost up to 2 million USD.


While the MRAP or APC is essentially made in Nigeria, costing around 500k USD or lesser per vehicle.

So because of funding issues, IED problem, military planners are left with a tough decision to invest in 4 or 5 MRAPs, 1 IFV , Air Support for the air force.

This is what I believe is the situation we have seen in the past 4 years.

So from the scenario above which would you choose from?

And I thought Sarham was wicked

The army could do with extra discipline though, especially with depot products.

Exactly.

Not too long ago, I posted a video in relation to land radars used by the army, in the video, the army showed something that looked like a prototype of a modular vehicle, thought someone else would have noticed it and brought it up for discussion, would love to know the status of the program.

It's because this year it was only RC guys that passed out their SSC counterparts are still in training unlike last year where combined pop was done for both RC & SSC...

If you hear the crimes/atrocities some of the dismissed cadets commited you would justify their dismissal. It's better they're flushed out of the system now before they get commissioned and bring disgrace to the army, we can all testify to the uselessness of the NPF today it was acts of indiscipline that was left to fester in the system that brought them to this state.
FYI some cadets even go as far as raping their junior female cadets, some came in with forged credentials forget matter plenty, cadets no dey hear word.

Okay. Thanks for the info.

I am sorry, I am not very religious. An my arguement is not stupid any body that thinks that the issue of Muslim boys appearing everywhere with guns and doing all sorts of wrong things which islam claims to forbid while claiming to do it for islam is not a problem Is also part of the problem why we can never see peace. In almost all countries there are militias that align with this Islamic sect or the other.

Abeg!!

There is a reason why- taqqiya!

In Islam, Taqiya or Taqiyya (Arabic: تقیة‎ taqiyyah, literally "prudence, fear"[1][2] is a precautionary dissimulation or denial of religious belief and practice in the face of persecution.[1][3][4][5]

You'll NEVER get a straight answer from them. Only circular arguments, ad hominems and sideshows.
Just know it was NEVER and will never be a religion of peace. Even many non extremist Muslims secretly long for a Dar ul Islam in liberal W Europe.

You have a good point

So sad

However, they need to be monitored, especially those dismissed in terma 5

And that stability, accuracy and safety also exist in the 12.7mm RCWS fitted on ST1 light tank. I also do not see a need for an MBT when fighting BH as well and I'm not making a case for it,
What I'm saying is buying an IFV for BH is waste of resources.

Light tanks like the ST1 fitted with 105mm would be used for destroying BH sentry, smoke them out of their trenches and other defensive positions while the 12.7mm RCWS will be used to shell their guntrucks.
An IFV won't be able to destroy a well fortified sentry, so it will have to be complemented with a bigger gun like ST1

And If we need heavy guns for patrols, we can just easily buy a 40mm AGL RCWS and fit it on our Isotrex APC or legion MRAP or any APC.

Request sir: pic st1, rcws....God's speed as you perform this miracle.
The reason I like the st1, is that it has a lock on feature, so it almost impossible to escape...but another thing is, is that is the army using the best ammunition ? Are we using heat, instead he-frag?

As much as I agree with your submission but some Cadets were withdrawn as a result of miscarriage of Justice.

Above all, if you are not meant to hang the peep forget it, you wouldn't.

You guys should stop all this religious and political comments else I will call the mods in to ban you guys for a month.

Dude, this is important and RELEVANT! I read the excellent Hundeyin expose and it's OBVIOUS that political Islam birthed this F'ERY over generations. They've planned, strategised and funded for years! As a result we are now WHERE we're at. Fyi, in Kenya Somali imams openly challenge young xalimo to have at LEAST 3 kids by 21. People have told me they will soon outnumber Kikuyus!
Guys in their 40s have 4 wives and 20 kids. This ISN'T BS- I personally know 3 such Somalis. I never made much of this til a couple of yrs ago reading here and observations in Kenya and regionally.
You want us to continue posting Hiluxes, Tavors and those "CION OPS" (sic) pix? Srsly!?
