Lurker4Long: Since then ishyt has only gotten worse for Jean-Fraude. I wonder how they can support their Mali ops without the Burkina Faso/Niger land route? NATO nations could chip in their own heavy lifters to fly directly from Europe, BUT for how long? I see the Algerians have banned French overflights which makes logistical resupply def problematic. Seen this? Algeria closes its airspace to French military planes[url]https://www.aerotime.aero/29078-algeria-closes-its-airspace-to-french-military-planes/url] France-Mali distance is 3200 km, manageable with a 130 J at 75% payload. A C17 or 5 though will carry 70 and 140 tons respectively that distance. 4 of the former make up the NATO strategic airlift capability. 1 Like |

Tanzania paraded the Chinese VT-2 main battle tank on her 60th Independence celebration. A lot on military analysts where actually surprised that Tanzania had such a system in the first place. This reminds me 10 years ago when Tanzania also displayed the A-100 heavy rocket system, the reaction was the same as people didn't know in the first place that she had such a system. Make me wonder what else she has up her sleeves... 1.Tanzanian VT-2 MBT 2.Chinese VT-2 MBT 3. Tanzanian A-100 HRT 4 Likes

Stormtrooper11: Military exigency may demand the NA deploys a forward regimental base anywhere within the region I mentioned. The single dust airstrip at FOB Salerno in A'stan hosted spec ops sub units and regiments of the 82nd and 101. Over the years, the base eventually grew to house a population of nearly 5,000 servicemen, servicewomen, civilians, and contractors. Salerno grew to the size of a small city and included features such as a combat support hospital, large gymnasium, post exchange, chapel, large chow hall, aviation hangars, maintenance facilities, billets, 5,000 ft dirt and gravel runway, forward refueling and arming point, and sub-camps for U.S. Special Operations Command units.https://www.airports-worldwide.com/afghanistan/forward_operating_base_salerno_afghanistan.php You CAN use a jet engine transport with filters to avoid gravel abrading turbine blades but they affect aircraft performance. The C 17 though is built with thrust reversers directing air up and forward. The first pic shows sand in the engine of a C 5 after ingestion on takeoff. 1 Like

lebuhsi: Who would be shocked to know this? You do realise Stormtrooper completely misunderstood kikuyu1, right? Here's what kikuyu1 said: Hmmm...I've heard it said jet turbines don't handle unimproved airstrips well. Dust is sucked into the engine eroding the blades: given the nature of W Africa and the Sahel,both likely operational areas I'm curious to see if this is true. More likely, "they" will be shocked the quote above has morphed into a riff about NAF airbases. 2 Likes |

Lurker4Long:actually there was as the pics shows clearly the HQ of the Tunisian army... the French did dismantle the army in 1883 keeping only the Bey guard but it was slowly reconstructed under their supervision post WW1... Tunisia had great autonomy compared to other French colonies it retained its king, constitution and even government (still the final word is of France). |

kikuyu1: I understand your perspective. I do believe when aircrafts are being acquired, it's being configured to the tastes of the customer. E.g the F-7ni purchased by the federal Republic of Nigeria had their warming systems replaced with cooling systems due to the climate. Your concerns about dust are genuine,but those incidents of desert storms are only popular in the extreme North-East and North-West regions of the country. Since the beginning of this conflict, the Nigerian Airforce has never landed a fixed-wing airlifter on an airstrip outside the maiduguri airbase. Operations similar to those situations are rare in this part of the world. In the case that the Nigerian Airforce eventually purchases the Y-20, I don't think it will be landed on tiny airstrips. Their are smaller airlifters that will be fit for the job. 2 Likes |

kikuyu1: The official line is that its an ACCIDENT while on the way to respond to an incident. The only reason for this in my book is: THE MANUFACTURERS DID A SHODDY JOB. I also think the Nigerian armed forces got scammed and bought a RUBBISH vehicle without comprehensive field tests as they seem to be one of the first to use this version of the phantom. 2 Likes |
