Both the Vics and Panhards were upgraded by the respective OEMs. Stingy? Not the Hurlingham (DOD HQ)boys;no sir-here's a true story you can confirm from your end I first posted 2012 on the Thread that turned into a poo parade. After the night time amphib/airborne Kismayu capture in September 2012 your your Ship House were around requesting the tactical playbook and some specops guys to recce Mali for the intended NA mission against jihadists;remember that episode?
Anyway a section were on ground in nondescript unidentified kit for a fortnight and said a BIG NYET! Too many competing players both military,political plus freelance adventurers while cultural ans linguistic issues would've made operations too iffy.
Like I said confirm from your end if this story is true.

Our tactics are wrong considering your comments in the bold.
Technical are not a great threat to a properly fortified base. One round in the engine bay from a 50 Cal. Sniper rifle easily done at 1000 metres and the technical is immobile. An incendiary round neutralises anybody in the cab and end of story.

Actually I have targeted with a 50 Cal. HMG stabilised over a 1000 km single shot, obviously with optics sights. It's possible to use our Russian sourced HMG as well but optic sights essential very difficult if not impossible if it's not stabilised and using steel sights.

Basic investment in base fortifications we just don't do why ❓ It costs next to nothing we are busy digging trenches like WW2. That's why our bases are getting over run.

Presidential fleet: NSA hands over two aircraft to NAF


The National Security Adviser, Maj. Gen. Babagana Monguno (retd), has handed over two aircraft in the Presidential fleet to the Nigerian Air Force.
Monguno handed over the two aircraft, Augusta AW101 Very Important Personality Helicopters to the Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan Ali, in the presence of the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, his Army counterpart, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, and other top security chiefs in Abuja.
He said that the release of the aircraft to the NAF was in fulfillment of the promise of President Muhammadu Buhari to reduce the amount of money being spent on the maintenance of the Presidential Air Fleet.

He said that the President had earlier released a AW109 helicopter and a King Air Beechcraft in 2015 with the intent to enhance the operational capacity of the NAF in the ongoing campaign against the insurgency in the North East.
He stated further that the committee set up by the Presidency on the approved sale of two other aircraft, a Falcon 7X and Hawker 4000 aircraft, would soon compete its assignment.
He said that the aircraft which were handed over to the NAF ‘have ballistic defence capabilities and are equipped with defensive aid suites against certain forms of missile attacks.” read more https://punchng.com/presidential-fleet-nsa-hands-two-aircraft-naf/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

is this not old news

bidexiii:



Nope it's not old

rka2:


News is 3 years old. One of the AW101 flipped over in Markurdi sometime back when taxiing to the hanger. Look at the comments in the article, they are dated 3 years ago.

WARTHUNDER:


When ISIS swooped over Iraqi army 2014, government army was losing that war. Fastest game changer was urgent procurement from Russia of 250 MT-LB upgunned with ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft guns costing 250K dollars per vehicle, and so ISIS rapid advance was stopped. Iraq could then sit down, plan, fund big time procurement.

If NA adds modern thermal vision for night combat to 23mm x 2 MT-LB, up cost to 500k apiece but 500 million dollars means we get 1,000 night vision armoured heavy firepower all terrain troop carriers to spread around 100 army FOBs, 100 more NAF air bases, NN Lake Chad bases, military barracks, MJNTF bases, Baga & Bama regular hot zones, Police MOPOL hot camps, endangered Maiduguri, Monguno etc.

You see pics difference between NA MT-LB captured and why it was lost, compare Iraqi MT-LB, I never saw Iraq lose any to ISIS. Other pic is Ukraine's Army Elite troops using it now against insurgency. We can push BHT ISWAP out of all Nigerian spaces with 1,000 killer MT-LB upgrade, then plan how to use the one thousand vehicles to win this war fast. My own shop right viewpoint, I hope its usable.

WARTHUNDER:


Sorry broz, I dint know you posted Vicky & AML-90 upgrade years ago. Thanks for sharing the good ideas. So its Nigeria's failure to upgrade not Kenyans hiding useful stuff, we need to fix our own lives here in NG

Kenya surprises me going for MD armed light helicopter, same Kenya had 12 early model British made Tucanos before, now instead of moving up to Super Tucano model like 20 other developing countries, a plane that can take off from Kenya to kill Al Shabaab in Somalia and return to Kenya on same fuel load is a mystery.

You didn't offend any body sir. To your previous question, no you can't. Age limit for the Nigeria defence academy is 17-19 for the Navy and airforce,while the army is 17-20. Any thing beyond that is illegal and defaulters are liable to civil persecutions.

thanks,I will apply direct short service when I'm done with school
