i leave in a neighbourhood resided with somali refugees .i swear i have just a lorry full of administration police looking like they are patrolling mogandishu with guns pointed everywhere.i wont dare leave the house with no I.D

haha, don't worry I left the city last week, went to the coast, I have been asked for ID while at the beach!!!! like seriously we just came to swim and you want an ID, am told its been like that since last December, people are used to it. But I guess in places near large Somali population (especially refugees) its worse off, an ID(refugee ID, Alien ID, Kenyan ID) there is like oxygen.

*Facepalm* I honestly thought they were brought in to help the SRF with the AR
Oh well... Thanks again for the clarification

Their mission statement still says 'to support civil authorities' so u never know how they will interpret that

Henry120:


Everything is, including an F-16!

12,800 tonnes LAV-25's are also Air transportable. Those things u mentioned above can all be carried out by MRAPs( Oskosh M-ATV, Sandcat) and LAVs.

These vehicles are just Jeeps that are un-necessarily expensive.

seriously... I personally don't see d point of that vehicle. It just looks cool nothing else. I still don't get how its employed in warfare. I reminds me of driving around in a golf cart

jordan gets cobra gunships intended for nigeria

israel gave Jordan a set of retired combat helicopters to help the country defend its borders against the Islamic State and other insurgent groups in neighboring Syria and Iraq, Reuters reported Thursday.Approximately 16 of the Cobra combat helicopters were given, said the official who preferred to remain nameless. “Though some may have been used by the Jordanians for spare parts.”

The U.S that refused to sell you Cobra Helicopters, suddenly has now had a change of heart, and instead would now sell you Apaches......... LOL!

If you believe this, then I'm the next in line to the British throne.

The globe trotting president and his traveling band of circus clowns have wasted their time and tax payers money in fruitless trip to the U.S.

dont get me wrong ,but lets stop assuming some of this tech is beyond our buying power.the only reason our troops dont have such gear its because of our greedy,oldschool,incompetent generals.

I f you don't mind me asking,how exactly do you know this? The defense budget though large is strained by much needed big ticket line ticket line items like ships,IFVs and gunships.

Before the Year runs out, the Ship should be commissioned into service, so, there's a probability the vessel is in Nigeria, however I'm not sure.

What is certain though is, 3 Navy ships are currently in China receiving an up-grade. They sailed into wuhan a couple months back.

pls which 3 ships never heard of them,

It's an AK-47LM. The M stands for modernised, probably Israeli or Bulgarian upgrade. The Police have virtually fazed out all there old rifles with Anti-Terror, VIP Protection and Mopol members carrying the AK-74LM / AK-47LM.
