How i wish the army could get 12 of these in this configuration, to act as advance and eyes in the sky, for anti- ambush roles, pending when the force would be able to consolidate and hold the initiative to fight off the potential or on going ambushes

tunisia got 24 OH-58D Kiowa Warrior with all their equipments and ammunitions, training for only 100.8 million dollars

WASHINGTON, May 3, 2016 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to Tunisia for OH-58D Kiowa Warrior Aircraft and associated equipment, training, and support. The estimated cost is $100.8 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.

The Government of Tunisia has requested a possible sale of:

Major Defense Equipment (MDE):

Twenty-five (25) Embedded GPS/Inertial (EGI) Navigation Systems (INS)
Twenty-four (24) AN/AAR-57 Common Missile Warning Systems (CMWS)
Ten (10) AGM-114R Hellfire Missiles
Eighty-two (82) Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) Rounds

This request includes the following Non-MDE:
To be installed on each of the twenty-four (24) EDA OH-58D aircraft: one (1) SHP Rolls-Royce 250-C30R/3 Engine, one (1) AN/ARC-164 UHF Radio, one (1) AN/ARC-186 VHF Radio, one (1) PC-DTS-V Data Recorder, two (2) AN/ARC-201D Radios, one (1) AN/APX-118 IFF Transponder, one (1) AN/APR-39A(V)1/4 Radar Signal Detecting Set, one (1) AN/AVR-2B Laser Warning Receiver, one (1) M134 DH Mini-Gun, one (1) M3P Aircraft Gun System, and two (2) M260 Rocket Launchers.

This request also includes: fifty (50) AN/AVS-6 Night Vision Goggles (NVGs), five-hundred thousand (500,000) 12.7mm rounds for the M3P Gun System, 2.3 million 7.62mm rounds for the M134DH Mini-Gun, the A965M1 Decoy Chaff Cartridges, M211 and M212 Advance Infrared Countermeasures Munition flares, eighty-two (82) MK66 MOD 4 2.75 rocket motors and eighty-two (82) M152 High Explosive (HE) warheads to support the APKWS, one (1) EGI for the Combined Armament Avionics Electrical Trainers, six (6) M279A1 Hellfire Launchers, associated test and support equipment, technical support, the Army’s Non-Standard Rotary Wing Aviation Program Manager’s Office (NSRWA PMO) technical support, Security Assistance Management Directorate’s (SAMD) program technical support, additional contractor support, Peculiar Ground Support Equipment (PGSE), Post Production Support Services (PPSS), Government Furnished Equipment (GFE), Retrofit Service Notice (RSN), Repair and Return (R&R), communication and navigation equipment, aircraft survivability equipment, displays, flyable storage, transportation of aircraft, publications, and training.

The total estimated value of MDE is $44.3 million. The total overall estimated value is $100.8 million.

Tunisia has been approved to receive twenty-four (24) OH-58D Kiowa Warrior Helicopters via the Excess Defense Articles (EDA) Program under a separate notification. That separate notification included only the OH-58D airframes, thus this transmittal includes all the major components and customer-unique requirements requested to supplement the EDA grant transfer.

This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the security of Tunisia which has been, and continues to be an important force for political stability and economic progress in the North African region. The United States is committed to the security of Tunisia, and it is vital to U.S. national interests to assist Tunisia to develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability.

The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopters along with the parts, systems, and support enumerated in this notification will improve Tunisia’s capability to conduct border security and combat operations against terrorists, including Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Libya, and Ansar al-Sharia, Tunisia (AAS-T). These helicopters will further modernize the Tunisian armed forces and increase its interoperability with U.S. forces and other coalition partners. Tunisia will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.

The proposed sale will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The principal contractor for this effort is unknown and will be determined during contract negotiations. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

Implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of approximately ten (10) additional U.S. Government and approximately fifteen (15) contractor representatives to Tunisia for approximately five (5) years to support the fielding, maintenance, and personal training.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

This notice of a potential sale is required by law and does not mean the sale has been concluded.

All questions regarding this proposed Foreign Military Sale should be directed to the State Department's Bureau of Political Military Affairs, Office of Congressional and Public Affairs, pm-cpa@state.gov

Why do i feel we should have gotten the bmpt, instead of the vt4 or t72s, they seem better suited for the kind of war we have going now

BMPT is a tank fire support vehicle. Designed to support tanks in built up areas.

We don't need the VT4 and we don't need the BMPT, nor do we need the T-72.

What the army needs in my opinion is a minimum 50 units of ST-1 light Tanks, 200 units of modern IFVs armed with a full suite of 30mm and Anti-Tank weapons.

Also 12 units of light attack/recon helicopters.

What's the bmpt, if it isn't an IFV?

Tobiloba2407:

BMPT is a tank, whose turret was replaced with a turret of an IFV.

It is slow, expensive to operate and can only carry 3 soldiers (Driver, Commander & Gunner).

An IFV carries Driver, Commander, Gunner and between 7 & 8 dismounts.

It is fast, less expensive to run and can support troops in combat.

With the type of threat we currently have, an IFV is miles better than a BMPT.

Algeria can afford and should invest in BMPT because they have a very large fleet of T-72 & T-90 Tanks, 800+ units. These vehicles would need protection.

They also have nearly 12 billion dollars to spend on Defence each year, Nigeria only spends about 3 billion a year at most.

Tobiloba2407:

When you look at our current threats, the Nigerian Air Force & Navy are moderately equipped to deal with them, the army is still very far off.

I know the bmpt 72, uses the hull of the t72 tank, I'm more concerned about the weapon system it carries, which is more effective in the fight against boko haram, than the main battle tanks. Really the bmpt is slow? The bmpt, has the same protection as a main battle tank, if a tank isn't in danger, the bmpt isn't in danger too.

The weapon system used in the BMPT is just like what you have on any IFV. Only difference is, it carries 2 x 30mm HMG. In a fight against Boko-Haram, I'll rather be in a Boxer or Badger IFV than in a tank.

Like we've seen in some battlefields, Turkey lost 10 units of Leopard 2 Tanks against the PKK in military operations in Syria.

Like we have also seen in Armenia-Azerbaijan war, what really is amour?". Armour destroyed by a range of light offensive weapons. Speed & Mobility is protection.

Tanks are not as mobile as IFVs, and generally armour protection across Main Battle Tanks are overrated, this my opinion.

How maneuverable am I when I'm in combat against a highly mobile terror group like Boko-haram. A BMPT would not give me maneuverability, but a wheeled IFV would give me that mobility and the same firepower as a BMPT.

BMPt is not used to transport infantry , why are we comparing it with IFV ? . its russian name bmpt mean tank support combat vehicle . . so its used inside an armored divisions formation in the first line .


the bmpt is heavy (compared to ifv) with 48 tons mass , and is used with tanks in armored division attack . you cant put wheels on it for this role . yes wheels have better mobility on roads and good grounds . but division armored attack rarely follow good grounds, roads ( roads can be destroid , are predictable for embush , and not avaible in war grounds ...) .
for off-road mobility , desert , montains , obstacle clearance ability, with lower profil . tracks are ideal . specialy for algerian south desert , or north montains operations .

check this short video about the bmpt to see the advantages of tracks in war

the bmpt has better armor . it can resist better than ifv. ( yes tanks also can be destroid but still have better chance to survive ) . and specially against small mobil terrorist groups . for myself i prefer sending in first contact attack an armored vehicles . with better armor , hudge fire power and will let my ifv with their 8 extra dead meat soldiers transported inside in case they got hit by atgm for second wave .
