ELINC EW CHL-906 Electronic Warfare system

it is called the Integrated Electronic Warfare system of the Chinese companies ELINC and CEIC. There is very little documentation on this product, not to be confounded with the CHL-903 anti-aircraft jamming system. The newly introduced system is both passive, defensive and offensive. It was developed as a more modern derivative of the LDK-190 and is used to:

- Detect enemy radio and radar emissions over a range of 600 km
- Determine the position, identify and classify enemy emissions over these distances
- Protect radars and anti-aircraft systems from anti-radiation missiles by “covering” the radar frequencies
- Block communications over a distance of 300 km
- Prohibit the use of GNSS satellite positioning systems (GPS, Baidu, Galileo, Glonass) by the enemy (air, sea, land) over a distance of 300 km
- jamming frequencies from 0.5 to 40 GHz
- Detect stealth aircraft and ships
- Detect drones that are remotely piloted and remove their data link with the ground
- Detect AEW aircraft over a distance of 500 km
- To “fry” some radio-electric equipment thanks to the directional emission power of 500 Kw

This is not the only electronic warfare system used by Algeria. The ANP combines an arsenal of Chinese and Russian equipment such as the Krashuka-4 and the Avtobaza

BREAKING: The Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have recovered a large cache of arms & ammunition from ISWAP/BokoHaram insurgents armoury in Sambisa Forest in Borno State, Northeastern Nigeria

Victory is from God alone, we thank God for the armed forces who made it this far from over 14 years ago, it's not easy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kimbo5c0Ak

Just woke up on a normal day, doing my routine check for latest military news on the various defence channels I subscribed to on YouTube then I came across this documentary of over 8 years ago.
It is such a miracle how the Nigerian Armed forces transitioned from, an unorganized, private military organization dependent, risk loving rugged military to a modern day organized, competent, professional military force to reckon with

Troops uncover ‘ISWAP’s underground armoury’ in Sambisa forest

Troops of the 21 Armoured Brigade, operation Hadin Kai, have reportedly recovered a large cache of arms and ammunition from the Islamic State of the West African Province(ISWAP) in Sambisa forest, Borno state.

According to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication, the troops discovered the underground armoury following the invasion of the Ukuba camp on the fringes of Bama LGA on Saturday.

Military sources were quoted as saying several variants of rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) tubes, SMG rifles, double barrel guns, 50 hand grenade bombs, and five SMK bombs were recovered from the pits where they were concealed.

Several IEDs-making materials, non-electric detonators, IEDs and canister bombs, as well as 183 Shilka rounds, were also recovered from the hidden pits.

One suspected member of the terrorist group was killed while an Ak47 rifle and other items were recovered from him.

The military source was quoted as saying the troops operating along the Sambisa-Timbuktu Triangle and the shores of Lake Chad are “making steady inroads as ground and backed by air support continue to sustain pressures on the terrorists”.

Terrorist hideouts are said to have been cleared in Garno, Alafa, Alafa D, Garin Doctor, Njumia, Izzah, Farisu, Somalia, Ukuba, Garin Glucose, Garin Ba’aba and Bula Abu Amir.

But the Goals the EACRF is meant to achieve is not being pursued.

There were meant to be an “offensive” force deployed from Haut-Uele to South Kivu.


What they are doing now is a bare imitation of that operating as a peacekeeping force in a comparatively small part of North Kivu.

The EACRF are meant to actively assist the Congolese state government in eradicating the rebels, but now you are having a situation where they are unwilling to engage the M23 even as the rebels continue to seize more territory.

What goals are these that EACRF is not pursuing? Did you ever read the EAC mandate to the regional force and observed that they were not following it?

EAC sent the regional force to try its best to settle the matter in a political peace process while protecting civilians this is exactly what it has been trying to do.. if all negotiations fail, this is when force would be used.
You have to remember that FIB under UN already militarily defeated M23 before... The few who were left went back to the trenches, regrouped, recruited more teens, got more supplies from outside and here we are again... So killing them clearly did not work. DRC needs to find a way to co-exist with its own people and both sides need to be honest about the peace process. [And this is what is lacking from both sides, and I would even say especially from the DRCs govt's side, I get the feeling that they don't want to make peace with M23 ... And they were hoping they could gorge the EACRF commander into breaking his own mandate and fight the rebels by instigating ceasefire violations near EACRF formations and blame them on the rebels, but he saw right through them..
----------

Here is a breakdown of EACRF mission for DRC . This was a speech given at beginning of the deployment.... The EACRF has only achieved ful deployment of all its contributing countries (with exception of Tz and Rwanda) just 2 weeks ago and you already want to label it a failed mission, really?

The commander of the East African Community military force deployed in eastern DR Congo has said political and diplomatic processes are “the first priority” among efforts to pacify the country’s restive region.

Maj Gen Jeff Nyagah, from Kenya, said the military option does not always guarantee peace.
“Sometimes, war does not necessarily bring peace. You have to pursue diplomacy,” Gen Nyagah told journalists in Goma on Wednesday, November 16.

He said there were a number of options to end the conflict in eastern DR Congo, a region that has known no peace for over two decades and is home to multiple armed groups.
The current conflict between government forces FARDC and the M23 rebel group has intensified since October 20. An estimated 188,000 people have been internally displaced.
The political process was “the first priority,” among the options to be considered, Gen Nyagah said, referring to the Nairobi talks between the Congolese government and the armed groups operating in the country’s east and the Luanda roadmap, which was signed in Angola in July between Rwanda and DR Congo presidents.

“The second track, and is very critical for you to note, is the issue of disarmament and demobilisation not only targeting M23 – because we seem to focus on M23. We have over 120 armed groups in eastern DRC, and they have instigated a significant degree of insecurity.

“If these two tracks fail, then we’ll automatically transit to the third track, that is military action.”

Kenya has already deployed troops in eastern DR Congo as part of the regional efforts. The latest cohort arrived in Goma last week.

Kenya’s former President Uhuru Kenyatta, the EAC facilitator in the eastern DR Congo peace process, has called on all the armed groups to lay down their arms and allow dialogue to take place.

The latest intense fighting between FARDC and M23 on Friday, November 11 led to further displacements. Over 100 Congolese refugees have since crossed to Rwanda, as fighting approached Goma the capital of North Kivu Province.

The Nairobi talks are expected to resume on November 21. The EAC bloc has called for inclusivity in the process for a lasting solution to take hold.

But since the DRC govt just wants war and nothing else, añd is threatening the EACRF, the regional force might be forced into cutting short their plans and go straight into fighting without exhausting all other peaceful avenues, knowing very well that real long lasting peace will never be achieved.

Paramount and Greece partner on N-Raven loitering munition production

Greek state-owned company Hellenic Defence Systems is partnering with global aerospace and technology company Paramount to produce the N-Raven long range loitering munition as the Irix.

The partnership was made public at DEFEA (Defence Exhibition Athens) 2023 this week.

The loitering munition system is called Irix after the word used by Greek poet Homer to describe hawks, and is poised to make history as the first loitering munition produced in Greece, Paramount said in a statement.

The agreement provides for the manufacture of internationally competitive long range loitering munitions in Greece, for the Greek market as well as export to international customers.

Leading Greek state-owned company, Hellenic Defence Systems (EAS), is a strategic partner to some of the largest companies in the international defence industry, with a 140 year-strong tradition of designing, developing, manufacturing and supplying the Hellenic Armed Forces with NATO-type defence systems. The Hellenic Ministry of Finance is the main shareholder and the company is supervised by the Ministry of National Defence.

Nikolaos Kostopoulos, EAS Chief Executive Officer said, “We are excited to be going into production – in Greece – with one of the world’s most advanced long range loitering munitions. In Paramount we found an ideal strategic partner, recognised as a pioneer in loitering munitions”.

“EAS and Paramount jointly developed an innovative and advanced product, specifically for the Greek market, called Irix. This is a lighthouse project for the redevelopment and enhancement of the Greek defence industry, which we are immensely proud of.”

IRIX is based on Paramount’s N-Raven unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology. The N-Raven is digitally designed with quick technology transfer in mind to enable government manufacture of loitering munitions technologies in own countries.

The partnership includes technology and skills transfer for local co-production of Irix as well as EAS’ ongoing participation in continued research and development (R&) of future Irix system upgrades.

Commenting on the venture, Steve Griessel, Paramount Global Chief Executive said: “We are privileged to be one of EAS’s global partners of choice, leveraging decades of unmanned aerial innovation and portable production expertise to jointly develop and produce Irix in Greece. At Paramount we believe true partnerships and innovation mean we design and produce technologically advanced, affordable and customisable solutions with our partners.”

The companies also announced involvement of other Greek companies in the supply chain for production of the system will be encouraged. This will see greater participation of and autonomy for the Greek defence industry.

IRIX, according to Paramount, is a robust yet cost effective unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and loitering munition system, designed to strengthen armed forces’ aerial reconnaissance, engagement and precision strike proficiencies, addressing modern requirements for asymmetrical and symmetrical warfare operational capability. The platform offers operational commanders real time actionable intelligence and from it, an ability to strike high-value targets deep in enemy territory or deny enemy use of operationally essential terrain.

Paramount Industries Greece Chief Executive George Kyriakos said: “The role of loitering munitions on the modern battlefield has steadily increased, as seen in recent conflicts all around the world. The socio-economic ramifications made ensuring security of supply of any nation’s defence technologies and capabilities a prerequisite to stability and growth”.

“The partnership between Paramount Industries Greece and Hellenic Defence Systems will provide a powerful solution to the growing need for advanced and precise loitering munitions, enhancing Greek as well as NATO and European defence capabilities. Importantly, it will boost our local industry creating high tech opportunities and skilled jobs in the local market,” according to Kyriakos.

Milkor selling 4 000+ grenade launchers amid strengthened market presence

As global tensions continue to rise in times of uncertainty, opportunities are emerging for defence manufacturers to take advantage of the global mindshift in defence procurement. One example is Milkor reporting a massive increase in orders for its multiple grenade launchers.

According to Armand Bodenstein, Business Development Director at Milkor, 2022 was the company’s best year out of the last six. “A lot of groundwork has been done over the past six years in demonstrating the superiority in quality and performance of the Milkor weapon systems when compared to competitors. These efforts are now proving to be fruitful with current confirmed orders for 2023 and 2024 surpassing 4 000 units of the flagship SuperSix MRGL across Africa, Asia, MENA, Europe and South America. These numbers exclude orders placed for other weapons systems Milkor has to offer.”

The SuperSix can fire low-velocity and medium-velocity rounds at ranges up to 800 metres. All six rounds can be fired in under three seconds.

The company’s latest evolution of its 40 mm weapon range includes the development of the Milkor MAR (Multiple Anti-Riot), a six shot less lethal grenade launcher for use by police and security forces, which is undergoing final qualification before demonstrations to end users in the third quarter of this year.

The company’s Centurion manufacturing facility increased production capacity to over 3 000 weapons towards the end of 2022 in order to meet its target of supplying 15 000 grenade launchers over the next five years. Additional allocations have been made to ramp up total production to 4 000 weapon systems per year, should the demand exceed current requirements.

Milkor’s land division has also started to make inroads on the market with some deliveries of the Milkor 4×4 taking place during the second half of 2023. Current requirements allowed Milkor to expand manufacturing capabilities and build stock in order to reduce delivery lead times.

Since debuting the Milkor 4×4 in 2018, the company has further developed the vehicle to suit end user requirements. The original vehicle was built with high ground clearance and high level offroad performance ideally suited to challenging African terrain. The vehicle’s operational capability has been expanded to deployment in the desert with the option of an inline central tyre inflation system and an upgraded cooling package. Multiple electronic sensors and remote-control weapons stations (RCWS), such as a 12.7 mm machinegun option, have been integrated. Milkor also offers an anti-riot version of its APC – the latter was deployed during the July 2021 unrest in South Africa.

Milkor has also started the development of a second product offering which it is looking to finish and qualify by December 2023.

Another flagship product Milkor has to offer is the Milkor 380 UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) which is currently undergoing testing, with planned demonstrations towards the end of the year to interested end users. The 18.6 metre wingspan UAV is the largest such aircraft to be developed in Africa. It has an endurance of up to 35 hours of flight time and a payload capacity of 210 kg, including various weapons and sensors.

“The interest and engagements with end users in different regions on the Milkor 380 has been integral in our development efforts as it has allowed us to develop the platform in such a way that it can be customized for existing end user requirements while also catering for future applications an end user might have. The current interest shown in the complete offering is proving positive and we look forward to demonstrating the capabilities of this product to end users towards the end of the year,” Bodenstein concluded.

Milkor’s growing product range is in line with its aim of becoming an established global leader in the defence industry, with a growing international presence. Milkor has opened offices in India, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. With the shifting geopolitical landscape, Milkor is well positioned to make the most of these changing conditions and is setting its sights on meeting new global defence demands.

100% fake offer. Please use common sense - Adzuna is a job platform preferably used by scammers. What is EU citizenship in the first place ? There are no private companies or EU agencys that could grant you citizenship for full filling a work contract. Nonsense. You can only apply for naturalization if you have lived legally in a EU country (not as a refugee) for a certain period of time and meet criteria such as long term employment and good language skills. This applies to the specific country you live in - EU citizenship does not exist.

How long before they decide to entice sub-saharan Africans who are really desperate to migrate and gain foreign citizenship.
