Did you guys get any heavy equipment, IFV, Artillery et al ?

Not yet

agaugust:
Ghana has 24 units of Chinese WZ-523/type-05 IFV with 25mm cannon plus their 50 units of Typhoon MRAP. Wonder why the WZ 25mm gun looks like a Bushmaster instead of Type 87 looks. Can the Ghanaian guys explain their confusing IFV gun? Also, are these women combatants? Why are they in black not army green?

It is a ACV 25mm GIAT DRAGAR turret for the NGV-1 IFV,

Thanks. Also post pic of Ghana Super Tucano when the aircraft arrive from Brazil. Are we expecting tanks in Ghana this year?

President Mahama urges Military to work towards counter terrorism

-He said a 300-million dollar facility had been secured to procure modern military armaments including, Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs), tanks, operational vehicles, helicopters and other aircrafts, to bring the GAF’s UN peacekeeping equipment up to date.

-President Mahama also announced that the military would, this year, take delivery of Z-9 helicopters from China -- adding personnel from the Air Force have already undergone training in China in that regard.

-The only equipment that have not arrive yet is the Super Tucano aircraft, by the way there is no details as to which country we will be procuring the tanks from.

Ghana police.
4- pic, how many rounds guess.

Now thats a Ghanaian Mowag with same turret as the WZ which is NGV variant of the WZ. You Ghanians have put French gun on Chinese IFV, you will soon put British cannon on Chinese tank, we all will struggle to I.D. your army vehicles

The Chinese have their copy of the 25mm Bushmaster/oerlikon contraves 25mm kba/Giat Industries 25 mm Model 811 mounted in their WA314T turret:



Some performance info:

WA314T can fire HE ammunitions at a velocity of 1,050m/second, APDS ammunitions at a velocity of 1,350m/second, RHA 25mm at 60º from a range of 1,000m. The firing rate of the guns for different ammunitions is 100-200 rounds per minute.

South Africa gets cash refunded back to her for peace keeping in Sudan. UN/AU pays for all SANDF expenses. The Sudan Dafur mission costs South Africa almost nothing. Find a better excuse for abandoning a tough mission while same President Zuma is in Abuja now calling on African armies to unite amd fight all evil....while he retreats from crisis zone and abandons Dafur people without feelings.

Nigeria spent over $10 Billion of tax payers money to single handedly fund a 10 year war of 15,000 NA troops of which 1,000 Nigerian soldiers died leaving widows and fatherless children behind in Lagos, Abuja, everywhere. No UN, AU, or ECOWAS ever paid us one dollar refund. Yet a Nigerian army battalion is still based in Liberia/Sierra Leone today since 26 years ago !

Nigeria has NEVER complained one day !!! True lover of Africa.

There are many reasons for withdrawing

We have more important things to do with our men.

Senegalese Navy OPV 45

Nice

I assume a 30 or 40mm is still to be fitted?

Nigerian army signals regiment never left Mali till today, garrison regiment was recalled for being put under a strange Rwandan commander that had no troops in Mali and who did not participate in the fighting ops. Who withdrew Nigerian contingent from Sudan? You?

So you retreated because Rawandans are scary?
[Joke]

See, these things are more complex.

Lots of politics ... ... A lot of these developments and decisions are mostly driven by politics, dirty secretive politics with public option generally well managed where it matters.

GHKWAME1:


The Ghana navy and air force love fanfare, perhaps reason being that they have been starved of resources for a long time unlike their army counterpart. Believe me having pictures of the Tucanos to post won't be a big deal when they arrive.

Side note. Ghana also contributed troops to both Liberia and Sierra Leone, I have buddies who just returned on a six months tour in Liberia. One thing I agree with you is that we have done badly in telling our story.

Look at how shamefully Hollywood made General Dalaire a handful of Canadian troops be the centre piece of the peacekeeping operation in Rwanda. When it is on record that the general who was the
force commander relied on the Ghanaian batallion to prosecute his operations when contributing countries were pulling out of Rwanda enmasse after the capture and killing of the four Belgian soldiers.

Word! Ghanaians don't tell of their stories and feats

They will fight of-course, I doubt there are many women on the front-line even dough we have unit specifically made of women.
