OT,a single engine 208 with 10 aboard has been recovered at the foot hills of the Aberdares-no survivors. These 12 k foot Aberdare ranges contiguous to Mt.Kenya have killed more than their fair share. Wind shears and katabatic air flow no doubt play a role. Btw,Saffas some of your guys were lost here in '42 in their Bleinheim and remains only recovered last year. The nephew of a Second World War gunner whose plane crashed on Mount Kenya 75 years ago has said that his family could finally complete their mourning and bury him after hearing only last month that his remains had been discovered. https://www.thejc.com/news/world/family-buries-a-lost-son-75-years-after-jungle-tragedy-1.52834 The Mountain and nearby Aberdares ranges are still heavily forested which hampers recovery. Fyi,Uganda lost 3 of 4 Hinds in one incident en route to Somalia in August 2012 . The RAF operated a Lancaster squadron out of Eastleigh Nairobi during the Mau Mau emergency and at least 2 crashed with one going down near dad's hometown in an accident. On 19th February 1955, during what the then colonial government referred to as the "Emergency" enacted to combat the Mau Mau uprising, an RAF Lincoln bomber belonging to No. 49 Squadron based at Eastleigh aerodrome, crashed near the town of Githunguri some fifteen kilometers (eight miles) north-north-west of Kiambu.https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=25865 2 Likes

tdayof:Nothing difficult to understand. If you followed my post in the other thread, you'll see there is nothing confusing. The AFSF BN like i stated in that thread was not formed by DHQ, neither is it funded by DHQ. AFSF was formed and is funded by the ONSA, it was formed when Dasuki was in office. After the Nigerian government discovered that the American government led by Obama was actively sabotaging our efforts to confront the terrorist threat facing Nigeria, the government decided to look elsewhere. Help came in from Russia and Belarus. The agreement reached was for the government to train an effective heavily armed unit comprising of commandos already present in the various arms of the military. That was how AFSF was born, that's why the unit also includes members from the DSS. All members of AFSF when rotated out go back to their respective Regiment, SBS or Army Special Forces units. It's the standard. 11 Likes |

Henry240:Yep. As I said on the other thread, AFSF is a command, not a unit. But I guess individuals there didn't want to comprehend because "what does this Saffer know?" I repeat: it's a joint command comprising various Nigerian military SOF units from the Army, Navy, Airforce, and such appropriate civilian arms as the DSS, Police etc. I trust the presentation given to us by the Nigerian Defence Attache more than random individuals on the internet. 9 Likes |

[quote author=61mech post=68173260] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oct6ACAfIIE Earlier on I said I didn't see the need for your PAW at the section level-smth like this but not 14.7 mm as this seems. I do hope you can at least expound on your PAW situation. IIRC it was first issued to your Recces but will soon be standard issue on the platoon level. Denel says http://www.denel.co.za/press-article/The-%E2%80%9CBull%E2%80%9D-In-Denel%E2%80%99s-Kraal-Gets-Even-Better/149 You already have RPGs ,a BMG,60 mm mortars and shorter range Milkors on the platoon level-why the Inkunzi PAW,imo,its overkill. Why not rework SS 77 to the .338 Norma as General Dynamics has already done with a 240? Establishing traditional fire superiority and suppressive fire at longer ranges makes more sense than highly selective plinking on any battlefield from Bangui to Beirut or Basra. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2012/05/16/338-nm-lightweight-medium-machine-gun-lwmmg/
I ask cause I really don't see the need for the PAW on the platoon level,the weapons platoon along with heavier mortars,yes. 61mech,jln115,patches689 and frumentius,enlighten me please. Here's the difference between .50 BMG, 7.62 NATO,338 Norma Mag and 5.56 mm

The General Dynamics gun is a brand new purpose built design with a new operating system that lets the barrel recoil with the action. A FN Mag/240 or ss77 receiver would get destroyed with the 338 norma. You'd have to build a new gun from the ground up and use some sort of constant recoil mechanism to handle the 338Norma. It would be problematic to sell as militaries are extremely "gunshy" (excuse the pun) about adopting new calibres in general. The Neopup would be more useful for peacekeeping missions where you can use the weapons accuracy and lower kill radius to limit collateral damage. It's almost a purpose build roadblock/VBIED weapon in my opinion. That would sell very well in the current ME wars. Iraq alone must have 1000nds of roadblocks set up. We actually used the 40mm MGL at the section/squad level. Don't believe what Denel tells you about the widespread issuing of the 20mm to the infantry. The SANDF can hardly afford to train mechanics to service SAMILS, let alone adopt a new weapon at those numbers. The top priority for the infantry should be to get more ACOGS on R-4 's.

61mech: Yes,a brand new recoil mitigation system would have to be developed-which imo,isn't beyond your collective abilities. Idk,why I never saw that anti VBIED role for the Neopup-its tailor made for it actually! |
