Henry et al, seeing as the Nigerian Army already operates Toyota Hi-Lux, [s]your engineers should try bash out something like this.[/s] Actually, give the job to Proforce.
Just don't do like these Germans and call it a Hornet Special Operations Vehicle !

Henry240:
Mumu, why the sarcasm?


It's an easy build, although defence manufacturing is still relatively "new" in Nigeria, there is nothing complicated about this build. Nigerian army engineers can well handle it. They've built the Igirigi, would an LSV pose a problem, NO.

The design philosophy for the Nigerian IPV "dune buggy" would simply be applied. Very basic build.

Azerbaijan has a similar vehicle, the Gurza Special Forces Vehicles, also built on the Toyota hilux.

It's a Special Operations Vehicle, the title isn't wrong.

frumentius:
Forgot about Igirigi. In terms of sophistication and engineering complexity, this is miles from the dune buggy.
They're calling it a Hornet !
4 of these in a C-130 and your SBS can escort Buhari when he goes mediating in a dodgy place like Burundi, instead of relying only on the DSS and the host country like last time.

africaken254:
there is also rumours that assad has allow iran to build a permanent naval station in syria to station its ships

Odunayaw:
Its against our policy using the military in ur scenario

but I do like your Idea

We are only just developing a doctrine for SF operations

frumentius:
Wait, you have a policy that says regardless of the threat assessment, your SF may not escort and protect your president when carrying out his duties in an unstable foreign country?

Someone forgot to tell Obasanjo then. Cos in 2003 when he and Mbeki went to Monrovia to tell Charles Taylor that the jig was up, those were Nigerian soldiers escorting him alongside our SF.

Russia is also building a base in Libya and they are making footholds in Sinai . Meanwhile Trump is admiring himself in the mirror and defending his ego.

That's;

- 32 Specialised Operators
- 4 .50 calibers
- 4 to 8 RPG 7s
- 4 to 8 Milkor MGLs
- 8 to 12 LMGs
- 16+ assault rifles
- 8+/- Milkor BXP Submachine Guns

All deployed in 4 small vehicles in a single C130.

Remind me, what're the Germans testing at Overberg?

frumentius:
The Taurus air-to-ground missile. With an Airbus MRTT and a USAF KC-10, 2 Squadron should ask them nicely if they can practise air-to-air refueling. Only the handful Gripen pilots who transitioned from the Cheetah have the experience. The younger Grip pilots possess only theory and simulator time. And to think we were the first Gripen operator to conduct air-to-air refueling!

nemesis2u:
where is the Taurus missile
i only see drop tanks


guess i am late

Nok234:
It looks like the Germans love shovels

cutievik:
That's a whole lot of fire power

nemesis2u:
everybody loves shovels

unless ur planning to carry ur shiit/poo inside ur pockets

and this is one reason among many others

Henry240:
Yeah, I know it is ahead. I was referring to design philosophy. It's a dune buggy on an Hilux.

We are only just developing a doctrine for SF operations, I'm sure as we continue to develop, we would eventually begin to build more vehicles in this class.
