Any idea if the Marines also use the Marrua?

gottfried21:

I think so...But at Rooikop that's where they have those Chinese Humvees...So I think they use those...One day I'll try to snap a picture of one...

ViceAdmiral:


I don't see the logic in trying to buy th Chinese humvees when we have the marrua already....when are the Marines being "inaugurated"...the president said its sometime this year in his speech at the navy

gottfried21:

I really don't know...I have a question.How long is the marine basic amphibious blah blab blah traning and also the MARINE SOF traning compared to let's say regular army Special Forces Commandos...Which is less work/Shorter?

ViceAdmiral:


I recall a media report saying the marine commando course is a year long,but then as always I don't have enough info to be definitive,but I'm sure they take other courses there after aswell....remember the 4 badges.... for the army SF check on chute systems website on courses they offer...m sure they'll all say their training is tougher

Wasn't the Marrua bought for the sf chaps?

@ViceAdmiral
Tomorrow is the big day
Hopefully we'll get to see those marines in action...My understanding is that the ones trained in civil unrest can be deployed anywhere in the country in a matter in a 2hour-2hour30Minutes time bracket...

France sells NERVA LG unmanned ground vehicles to the Gabonese armed forces

France sells NERVA LG unmanned ground vehicles to the Gabonese armed forces, according to the company Nexter.

At Eurosatory 2016 in Villepinte, Paris this week, Nexter Group signed new contracts with the Gabonese Republic to provide NERVA LG unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) to the Gabonese armed forces. The UGVs will be fitted with mission equipment to fulfil several roles and are additional to an initial quantity of the reconnaissance robots supplied in 2014, which Gabon is currently deploying with MINUSCA in the Central African Republic.

Also included in the new contracts are a number of FINDSAT positioning systems, mobile medicak shelters from Nexter subsidiary Euro-Shelter and a number of NX-100 unmanned aerial systems (UAS) from partner company NOVADEM.

These contracts follow on from the initial Gabonese order in 2014, which included Aravis 4×4 tactical vehicles equipped with the ARX20 remote weapon station and the PG Guard protection system as well as the NERVA LG UGV.

Lord’s Resistance Army kidnaps 29 in Central African Republic, as Uganda withdraws troops from hunt

REBELS from the Lord’s Resistance Army kidnapped 29 people from two villages in Central African Republic this week, according to a local government official.

The Ugandan LRA rebels, have been roaming and terrorising eastern DR Congo, South Sudan, and more recently CAR, since they were pushed out of the country more than 10 years ago.

Seventeen people, including three boys, were abducted June 12 after LRA rebels stormed into Kadjema and ransacked all its houses, village chief Gerard Dembanou said by phone on Wednesday from the nation’s eastern region. “They used those they kidnapped to carry their booty.”

Twelve others were seized by the group late Tuesday during an attack on a nearby village, Dembanou said.

Uganda plans to withdraw the soldiers it deployed in the Central African Republic to fight the rebel group because it’s no longer considered a threat, according to Agence France-Presse.

There are about 2,000 Ugandan troops operating under an African Union mandate in the east of the country. The group emerged in the 1980s under the leadership of Ugandan Joseph Kony.

boko haram attacks village near chibok,abducting three

Boko Haram has attacked a village near Chibok, the emblematic Nigerian town from which the militant group abducted almost 300 schoolgirls in 2014, killing at least four people.

Members of the extremist organization raided Kautuva, which lies close to Chibok in Nigeria’s northeastern Borno state, on Tuesday, setting houses on fire and kidnapping three women, villagers and a vigilante group pursuing the militants told Reuters. A resident who gave his name as Ali Pagu said that some survivors managed to flee the militants to Chibok.

Boko Haram kidnapped 276 schoolgirls from a school in Chibok in April 2014. While 57 of the girls escaped immediately afterwards, the vast majority remain in captivity and have become the most high-profile victims of the Islamist group’s insurgency. In May, activists and the Nigerian Army claimed that the first of the Chibok girls since April 2014 had been freed after a girl breastfeeding a child was found by vigilantes on the fringes of the Sambisa Forest, Boko Haram’s stronghold in Borno.

Adequate protection boils down to proper preparedness, not luck. I won't call the officer lucky, he was well prepared.
