THE IMPACT OF THE RUSSIAN INVASION OF UKRAINE ON AFRICAN ARMED FORCES --Facebook post by Eeben Barlow For several years now, I have been warning African military forces about what I consider to be future defence and security problems, the failure to adapt doctrines and make doctrinal adjustments, the importance of informational dominance, and the folly of neglecting technology as a force multiplier. Unfortunately, these warnings were never taken very seriously. The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Armed Forces in February 2022 will present Africa with numerous challenges and problems. These will not only effect daily necessities but will also have an enormous future knock-on effect African armed forces will have to contend with. Given the huge amounts of ammunition and equipment the Russians committed to the Ukrainian front, along with the fierce resistance offered by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, equipment losses have been staggering. These losses will need to be replaced by both countries when the war is finally over. Whereas NATO-supplied equipment has been able to exploit the vulnerabilities of Russian equipment, especially insofar as anti-armour weapon systems are concerned, it is noticeable that the Russian forces apparently have no effective counter. The war has also highlighted many innovations and how an opposing force can be attacked. The deployment of weaponised commercial drones is one example. Equally, gaining informational dominance is critical if one needs to shape perceptions, influence public opinion, and gain the moral high ground. These are important lessons to take note of. However, what ought to be of concern to African armed forces is the fact that both countries have already delved into their first-line reserve and second-line equipment. In addition, the military industries of both countries have suffered setbacks ranging from the destruction of factories to the acquiring of microchips and other high-tech elements, materials, and parts. To rebuild their respective military industries, replace equipment losses, replenish ammunition stocks, as well as reequip their atrophied armed forces is going to take years, and at great cost. The armed forces of many African states are equipped with Soviet-era or more recent Russian and Ukrainian equipment. Not only has the invasion highlighted the vulnerabilities of especially the older Russian equipment, it has also highlighted the folly of what appears to be Russian doctrinal stagnation. It will become increasingly problematic for African armies to acquire ammunition and spares for this equipment, or to maintain it in good combat order. But the armed challengers and AGFs will experience the same problems. Unless African armed forces start looking at developing their own defence industries to counter current and predicted threats, they will become willing victims of the fallout of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. 4 Likes |

GreenandGold: History, REAL HISTORY is important, especially on a thread like this despite the wails of a few. It explains the dynamic of conflict: e.g. does Putin have any issues with the J/Ukes? What has France done in their ex colonies that explains the systematic destabilization and deep poverty that has led to insurgencies and LICWs in Cameroon, Cote de Ivoire, Mali, Niger etc, etc? Why EXACTLY were Africans in settler enclaves so unhappy with their lot? Why was it only Algerians, Kikuyus, Zimbos and Saffas who took up arms and NOT Tzns, Malawians, Burkinabes or Gabonese? Stand firm my dude! Someone is attempting to gaslight you. I should've mentioned this a page ago expounding on those you MUST ignore. Psychologists use the term “gaslighting” to refer to a specific type of manipulation where the manipulator is trying to get someone else (or a group of people) to question their own reality, memory or perceptions. And it’s always a serious problem, according to psychologists.[url][https://www.nbcnews.com/better/health/what-gaslighting-how-do-you-know-if-it-s-happening-ncna890866url] 1 Like

The NAF has just again in full view of the whole world classified the JF-17 Thunder in Nigerian Designation as a 4.5 Generation Multi-role Fighter Jet capable of the full spectrum of precision Air Warfare including maritime Ops. Any one who dares argue with me must show his rank in a reputable National Air Force. Note: The NAF was clear the Nigerian Air force is about the best in these parts of the world both in terms of manpower and inventory. Aside: Couldn't quite capture very well the JF-17s, too fast at 1.6 mach. Please see open sources. I expect some in the following days. 5 Likes
