Nigerian Air Force helicopters

rawswag:
how I love this mi 24

jakeporeshenko:
So I asked a guy who knows a guy and of course I googled it, I only found this "G cars" and "K cars" designation, based on the helicopters weapon configuration.
Educate me

Since i'm not an expert, let's see what the experts have to say. The following are some of the reasons OPV190 would not be suitable for close shore patrols.


*Defence analyst and former Defence Review
committee member Helmoed Romer Heitman

"However, when it comes to the inshore patrol vessels (IPVs),
Heitman is of the opinion that "the three 60 m IPVs now
envisaged as part of Biro are an embarrassing misstep by
the Navy and will be an entirely pointless expenditure,"
because, "at 60 m they will be too large and complex to be
the 'cheap and cheerful' equivalent to the old SDPs, to be
used for close inshore work and more importantly to train
and develop officers and ratings...At 60 m they will be too
small to be really useful (the strike craft were good special
operations platforms, but had the speed and the self-
defence capability these vessels will lack."


Heitman goes on to suggest that the IPV requirement should
be revisited to develop a vessel of somewhere around 30 to
40 m, "


"They are equipped with water jets
instead of propellers, which allow them to operate in very
shallow waters and accelerate, slow down and turn in
unconventional ways."

This is the most authentic Nigerian military video you'll ever see. Nothing scripted, it's an Amateur video from clearing operations deep inside Sambisa forest. Combat footage, broken down tanks, logistics supply, high espirite de corps, high morale, humour, and the best part, it is 43 minutes long. Watch, enjoy and share.

If you don't view this video, you have no business discussing any topics on any African military.

Highlights


- The guy on the Reva MRAP, "screaming na suffer oh!". He said " when you guys see us on T.V eating food, you'll think we are enjoying, but "na die-hard we dey here so".


* LMAO @ Suicide cameraman


- when they came under fire, there was this particular guy who was walking calmly with RPG tubes, i wonder why he did that.


- NA grandpa Vickers broke-down and had to be towed by another Vickers.


- I particularly like the defensive position NA vehicles take as soon as clearing positions begin, very tact.


- NA Pick-up trucks are so well armed. The Hilux is now an integral part of NA mobility, it's good to see the army arming them with HMGs and the provision of a ballistic shield for the gunner.


- Another interesting thing is, despite the fact they are on operations, NA instructors still put soldiers through their paces in marksmanship. Even commandos are not left out, everybody practices marksmanship. Very beautiful, i've ever seen this with other militaries.


- The importance of LUH, such as the A109 cannot be under-estimated, from bring supplies to troops, spare tires for vehicles to taking freed hostages. The A109 has proven to be an integral asset.



In all, there are still multiple improvements that can be made, however no military can have it all. Only if we can invest in more IFVs to support the Tanks and MRAPs.

Oga bidexii, is this not the video you uploaded some time ago?

bidexiii:
Hahahaaaaaaaaaa....... I now believe you av totally fell in love with the video..

I never knew u noticed also;" soldier carrying RPG rounds so calm,walking when they ar even under attack and I saw other solders.jumping and taking cover......

My conclusion is that soldier has seing a lot of battles and has a lot of close shave with death.... What do u think!

...... Maybe he has some sort of strong jazz with him. He was so cool, it was frightening. The camera man, who a soldier had earlier referred to as a "suicide cameraman" had to even capture him on footage again after he had earlier moved off.


I can only deduce that, the soldier was confident in the ability of his colleagues to deliver, and so, wasn't worried. or like you said, He was ..... WTF, i've seen enough and there's not more they can do.


He was super confident.

You need to show this vid to someone who had served in a modern 1st world military. If I were their Co., there would be some NCO's running around flipping truck tires for the afternoon. Don't get upset now , but i'm just going to point out a couple of things.

1. ZERO and I mean ZERO camp discipline. In an operational area of all places ! I see guys walking around like they are on RnR hanging laundry. 2/3's of them are walking around without their weapons at arms reach. Not a SINGLE one wearing any type of webbing/combat gear with ammo. I wonder if their officers even camp with them.

2. Guys standing on top of vehicles goofing around. Do you know what HE does when it hits hard armor ? I don't see anyone manning the guns keeping watch over that laager.

3. Personnel walking around in flip flops and civvie t-shirts. If I need to explain to you why this is wrong, I really hope you're not in any type of command position for your troop's sake.

4. Zero attempt at any type of camouflage of their positions. That bright orange dump truck in the middle of your position would make for a excellent aiming point for my mortar spotter. Christ, even ISIS smears mud on their Toyotas to hide the civvy paintjobs.

5. Absolutely no noise discipline in that camp. A patrol should be able to walk in the bush within 50m of your platoon and not know you're there.

6. Zero organisation of personnel. Everyone is standing around in groups having a chat and "vlegging piele". Mortar shrapnel and gpmg gunners love big groups of people standing around, not to mention snipers.

Vehicles should parked in laager, pointing outwards with personnel spread out EVENLY in their squads between them with fields of fire assigned by their NCO's beforehand. They should be in semi dug in positions with all eyes facing outwards. If you're going to take off your webbing, at least have it within reach along with your weapon for christ sake. Turrets/radio's manned by troops on watch.
No more than 3 people standing in a group and NO smoking at night.
Mortar pits should be dug, supplied and manned. You need to fire Ilum within seconds of an attack at night.

All these things to be observed at all times, whether at training facility, or in area of operations. NO exceptions. People died learning and re-learning these lessons.

Feel free to be pissed at my assessment. Try and find a military professional in any quality infantry organization to disagree with any of my observations and I'll type you an apology.

This is why I think military combat movies should be banned You all think this is a movie with a lot of unrealistic moves?

You feel that way after engaging in gunfights for a long time, you get used to it and don't panic,actually the job entails you to stay confident , and sharp with a clear head avoiding bad judgemental errors which could put your colleagues at risk. YOU GET ALL THESE WITH EXPERIENCE ,NO AMOUNT OF BATTLE STIMULATION CAN GET YOU EXPERIENCE
