You know this how? They don't even have a website......and this isn't the Israeli pmc that has operated before
The First Israel PMC you're referring to is Four Troops Hired By NAF to train Regiments and SF.
Starter Point is another...
I'll try get more info on them

During the 2019 Nigerian Army Research and Development Exhibition, witnessed several military hardware displayed by the NA, which is no doubt capable of tackling contemporary security threats.

The AFN procured some mountain climbers bikes to boost our fight against security challenges in our country. These bikes were modified by configuring and fitting communication equipment which will enable effective communication amongst our troops.

The Nigerian army has had Israeli pmc contractors train them , in the past....I can't really remember their name, this was before four troops trained that air force....it's just strange a pmc with no history or website is training our army.. . Makes it seem our generals serving or retired have started pmc business.

That’s what it seems to you !
Has ugly it looks and little adjustment needed, it’s already operational and not doing bad in the central/western north terrain against banditry.

Some of these Primary 2 Mad Max contraptions from the army nowadays. undecided

By the way, what's the status of DICON collaboration with engineering faculties of some Nigerian universities?
Or how about Nigerians in diaspora, you can find and headhunt some via LinkedIn. Big plus for their cv while they put their brains to work for the nation.

Edit: The solar panel bike set up will not stand the rigours of battlefield and it that happens with Comms link severed,the results can be catastrophic.

Are these improvisations put to test before induction? because I don't see how that goes gunner will properly handle that gun in a gallopy/rough terrain, I think adding extra wheels at the rear will give it more balance. I sha want to believe both the rider and his gunner will have their own side arms when shit gets real because I don't that gunner has more than 90° freedom.

Already in use and have seen some in Kadunna, they’ve been in use already but not in large quantities.
You can’t have that luxury of 100% freedom or 360 dgr’s view on a nuke. These is to lay down suppressive fire. And it’s not intended for the Northeast it’s only for the the North west/central where the threat is not that high.

Most troubled western/central northern states has this mountainous terrain, I think that’s why the gunners position is somehow elevated.

MONUSCO troops from Moroccan Contingent assisted FARDC to repulse assailants who had attacked travelers in Ituri, DRC. The attack took place on 04 July 20 along RN27 at Gina, Djugu territory. The quick response from the blue helmets saved the situation from deteriorating further.

True. Especially when travelling long distance. Its a different thing if you are within state boundaries or on a mission with full military gear and back up.

Travelling in your uniform without a convoy makes you an easy target . Shooters will make an easy meal out of you.

So soldiers got killed in the same area they've had ambush in the past, and most of you here want to blame Buratia? Is he the commanding officer? Who lead these troops and how come they couldn't be smarter in how they carry out their operation? The fact that they failed to adapt and neutralize a trouble spot shows poor leadership at the ground level, Buratai isn't gonna tell these soldiers how to invade ambush or how to drive their convoy, space them etc, or use scout, especially since this wasn't the first incident .
You can remove Buratai today, and another ambush will happen with similar result.
Clueless commanders on the ground is the problem here.

Well, IMO the 2nd passenger could just hold a RPD if the aim is just suppressive fire. The back ache of the passenger will be real

Oga Bidexiii...
Thanks for adding more context to its use. I am still not fully convinced by it. They can reinforce the rear shocks per the extra weights. Plus I hope that GPMG doesn't tilt vertically.
I don't know how it is for a pillion passenger to be discharging ammo over my head as a rider.

Edit:
This is the closest system I have found for weapon on a motorcycle.

What were they thinking for God sake?! They keep churning out these impractical contraptions. First of all, hot shell casings is going to be landing on that driver's head. Secondly, stability is going to be a huge issue here. Lastly, why would any reasonable soul place a .50 cal that close to human head?!

[/b]Another Leadership coup has broken out within ISIS In Africa Camp as Amir Ba Lawan seize control of Islamic State of West Africa Province ( ISWAP)–a splinter group of Boko Haram terrorists group.


The previous leader , Amir Abba Abba Gana was dismissed and detained as ISWAP leader. The Shura council accused Abba Gana of a consistent weak leadership and that he has failed to demonstrate adequate command and control in the group operations.[b]

Yeap we are forced to think because funds allocated for defense is not enough say less of the army.
Have seen armies from Indonesia, India and Pakistan with close byke design or something close to the NA.
And talking about stability yes there will be stability because it’s a MG/GPMG not a .50 cal/12.7 x 99mm or equivalent.
A general-purpose machine gun (GPMG) is a air-cooled, fully automatic weapon that can be adapted to light machine gun and medium machine gun roles. A GPMG weapon will typically feature a quick-change barrel, configuration for mounting on bipods, tripods, ATV and vehicles as infantry support weapons, and calibered to fire full-powered rifle cartridges such as the 7.62×51mm NATO, 7.62×54mmR, 7.5×54mm French, 7.5×55mm Swiss, and 7.92×57mm Mauser.

KEY ARMED BANDIT LEADERS NEUTRALIZED BY AIR COMPONENT OF OPERATION HADARIN DAJI AT KAGARA FOREST IN ZAMFARA STATE

1. Some notable armed bandit leaders and several of their fighters have been neutralized in air strikes executed by the Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI in the Zamfara State section of the Kagara Forest. This was achieved on 9 July 2020 pursuant to Human Intelligence (HUMINT) reports indicating that some armed bandits had relocated with a large number of rustled livestock from the Sokoto State side of the Forest and set up camp in the Zamfara State portion of the Forest. Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions also later confirmed the exact location of the camp.

2. Accordingly, the Air Component dispatched Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and helicopter gunships to engage the location. As the attack aircraft approached the camp, some of the bandits and their leaders were seen fleeing towards the surrounding bushes. Consequently, the attack aircraft struck the area of vegetation taking out several of the bandits. HUMINT sources later confirmed that 8 bandit leaders and no fewer than a dozen of their fighters were killed as a result of the strikes

3. The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has commended the Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI for their professionalism and urged them to remain resolute in the conduct of air strikes whilst continuing to provide close air support for ongoing ground operations in order to eradicate all armed bandits; thus accomplishing the directives of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) to restore normalcy in the North-West and North-Central Zones of the Country.
