Henry120:no It is not light its is not air-mobile (cant para-drop them) It is not maneuverable (in comparison) It does not have a small battlefeild signature it is not heavily armed (one HMG v HMG + multiple GPMG's) Not to mention poor situational awareness |

[quote author=Henry120 post=38975827][/quote]LOL Henry120 I though that someone like you, who has such a boner for Russia would know what the term "Spetznaz" is. FSB =/= Military Uninformed pleb, would you like an education? |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 1:29pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Patchesagain:Are you saying you, a civilian with no prior military training and or experience is right, while the world's 2nd best and largest military with over 500 years battlefield experience is wrong? |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 1:32pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Patchesagain:...... Spetznaz, Alpa group, an elite Counter-terror/ Covert/ Special mission unit much in the fold as US navy seal team six. |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 1:33pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Henry120:You have yet to prove that the vehical is in use with SF or SOF When you do so we can discuss, until then.... jog on self-service.er ![]() |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 1:35pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Patchesagain:It proves everything. Russian Special forces use vehicles that are similar to the VBL ( which is a Special forces vehicle by the way) and Otokar Cobra. |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 1:39pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Patchesagain:The photo proves it's a special mission vehicle. As Specnaz is a Russian term it is typically associated with the special forces units of Russia, however other post-Soviet states often refer to their special forces by the term as well, having themselves inherited their special purpose units from the now defunct Soviet security agencies. The 5th Specnaz Brigade of Belarus or the Alpha group of the Security Service of Ukraine are both such examples of non- Russian Spetsnaz forces. |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 1:41pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Henry120:1. Saying "spetznaz" in Russian means the exact same thing as saying Special forces in English, its a generic term for any kind "Special Purpose" unit. Russian federation does not operate a SINGLE "Spetsnaz" unit [edit: for those of you who are unable to follow an argument because of your sub-par literacy (Henry120, Augubugug) this means that there is no single unit called "spetznas"] 2. Alpha Group belongs to the FSB (Federal Security Service) and they are a STRICTLY Counter-Terrorism unit. This makes them SOF and not SF. They are more akin to FBI HRT teams or fvcking LAPD SWAT you ignorant fvcking Arrow. So, well done on: 1. Not posting an SF vehical in use by an SF unit 2. Illistrating your complete fvcking ignorance of not only what "spetznas" means but also its composition. |

Patchesagain:Are you saying Russian special forces are wrong and you, a civilian, is right? |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 1:42pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Henry120:Special mission vehicle for URBAN COUNTER-TERRORISM a.k.a: Hostage Rescue/High Level arrests |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 1:42pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Patchesagain:You are cursing, same time contradicting yourself. |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 1:42pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Henry120:1. No, Russian FSB SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES use it 2. No, the VBL is not a special forces vehical |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 1:44pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Henry120:1. Cursing because your stupid.ity offends me 2. How have i contradicted myself? |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 1:44pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Patchesagain:Is it a Special mission vehicle used by special forces or not? |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 1:45pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Henry120:You have yet to prove that it is a special forces vehical in use with special forces |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 1:46pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Henry120:Do you have autism? It is a vehical in use with SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES SF =/= SOF |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 1:48pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Patchesagain: Patchesagain:Patrick, why are you contradicting yourself? |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 1:51pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Henry120:I am not contradicting myself I am talking about 2 different pictures with two different vehicals. Now, stop trying to avoid dealing with the content of my argument and come at me... if you continue with schoolboy antics and your truly pathetic critical argument then I am going to leave because this is a massive waste of my time. |

Henry120:Can you drop that from the air? Nope. |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 1:55pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Patchesagain:You don't want to answer why you are contradicting your own comments? |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 1:56pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Henry120:I have just answered this very question. So we have reached that point have we? You get defeated and you resort to either repeating yourself over and over, or asking pointless questions in order to avoid the content of the argument itself. Im done here, this was much easyer than usual. |

FighterPilot:[size=20pt] Now my point is buttressed. you just killed yourself by your own post[/size] . . . your link [size=16pt]This protection force comprised a parachute combat team (a company of paratroopers and a support platoon with 12.7mm heavy machineguns and 81mm mortars), Special Forces teams with four 4x4 vehicles armed with machineguns and two Hornet vehicles armed with machineguns and 107mm multiple rocket launchers, tactical and electronic intelligence teams, signallers and engineers, for a total of 265 including the training teams.[/size] SO HOW DID YOUR SUPERIOR HEAVY FIREPOWER HORNET SAVED YOUR ASS? SANDF RUNNING AWAY FROM BATTLE ALL THEIR LIFE. INSTEAD OF YOU TO INVEST IN REAL BATTLE VEHICLES... YOU COME HERE PARADING WHEELBARROWS [size=16pt]The combined force was, however, too small to hold, despite firing ripples of 107mm rockets directly into the advancing enemy, and was repeatedly enveloped. By about 6.30pm the fighting had moved into the suburbs, and they were ordered to fall back into the base. They had by then suffered several wounded, and many of the Hornets were running on rims, their tyres long since shot flat.[/size] the hornet was useless in actual battle throw your hornets in the sewer and come to Nigeria my boy... free lessons for you... just say please |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 3:01pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
lionel4power:Yes, one hornet with an MRLS system was useless against 1000's of attackers Small ammounts of things get overwhelmed by big ammounts of things in combat What an exellent point!! |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by lionel4power(m): 3:09pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Patchesagain:-- what is the outcome of the battle? -- you lost -- you took four 4X4 trucks which survived the onslaught yet your hornet was made immobile -- hornet was useless -- maximum firepower did not save you.. the opponent didnt have such firepower -- your special forces flopped as usual -- what is your argument now? |

Patchesagain:-- what was the outcome of the battle? you retreated -- you lost -- you took four 4X4 trucks which survived the onslaught yet your hornet was made immobile -- hornet was useless -- maximum firepower did not save you.. the opponent didnt have such firepower -- your special forces flopped as usual -- what is your argument now? |
| Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Patchesagain: 3:20pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
lionel4power:-- what is the outcome of any battle where 200 face over 2000? -- We met ALL objectives -- No, the Hornet was not lost -- One small MRLS hardly indicitive of anything -- Flopped? Real life isnt a movie, not much can be done when you are outnumbered 20:1 My argument is what it has allways been, Nigeria does not posses a special forces orientated vehicle |

FighterPilot:Bwahahaha ![]() You call me fake military researcher? You wannabe air force man, your own comment just proved me right. The VBL is a... 1. Rapid Deployment/Reaction vehicle 2. Reconnaissance vehicle 3. Parachute deployable vehicle "The Panhard VBL armored scout car was intended for French Rapid Reaction forces. " http://www.military-today.com/apc/vbl.htm "VBL Light Armoured Reconnaissance Vehicle. " http://www.casr.ca/bg-army-larv-project.htm VBL deployed by parachute in time band 1:08 minute of video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES1XUobXqr4 So according to your own argument those are the 3 things that makes up a special forces vehicle and the Nigerian VBL is qualified 100% I hang your SAAF air force officers blue uniform on an Iroko tree in a Nigerian forest, you need prayer warriors to help you get your military uniform back from that tree top, Iroko spirit-man no go gree, unless you take am by girigi ![]() . |
