The dongfeng APC has a nice mobility but it's protection is kinda wack. Armour protection of 7.62mm ball at 100metres is pretty much worthless in the advent of an ambush.
It's better than our soft skin Hilux tho and it will be very useful for the special forces.

You do know that there is primary PPE of flack jackets though. If you are seated correctly in the vehicle and wearing your jacket, I seriously doubt a fatality from 12.7mm ammunition, which would have been significantly slowed down by the Armour of the vehicle.

shadowprimezero:


Quite possible. The Dongfeng has a weird looking skeletal RCWS so its possible thats it in its uninstalled version

That's not an RWS or an RWS chassis. Dongfeng Mengshi has manual turret and automatic grenade launcers.

It is possible, Nigeria Army bought a few recce versions that have RWS like in this picture below but we are not sure. I actually doubt it.
It is 12.7mm gün and some AGLs that we know

Whyem15:



I only hope they bought enough spares, support vehicles and trained enough personnels to be able to maintain them for a long period. The way we used the last set of Bigfoot MRAPs is quite shameful.

Also, I hope they won't fix these platforms with 12.7mm guns only. They should carry varying calibers and types of ammunitions. They should follow the lead of the Navy by fixing 40mm grenade launchers etc on some of these platforms.

Soldiers prefer RPGs, what are you gonna do 'bout that?

Lies from a sick inferiority complex afflicted young tribalist.
The man absolutely did NOT say this.
I watched the programme from start to finish. The context was an example to illustrate the futility of striving to become President when you are not sure of tomorrow. Simple enough to understand if you are not some sicko who thinks Nigeria's dissolution will compensate for or explain individual failure

You must be very young and inexperienced, your approach is indicative of your background.

Using historical analysis 2/3 decades ago to make a projection in the HERE and NOW.

I want you to think about , what the Chadeans did in two weeks when invited into Nigeria to help fight against Boko, what they did in Mali, all in very recent times.

Consider Thier international reputation as the toughest fighters in Sub Saharan Africa. Even with very rudimentary equipment if you ask me.

Chad has won many social media victories since Boko Haram started.

Before Boko Haram they were notable for defeating a division of the heavily armed but professionally inept Gadhaffi's army + mercenaries.

As someone is suggesting here, they did better as a conventional force than against Boko Haram.

They made incursions into Nigerian territory in the late 70s/early 80s and nearly lost their capital city in just a few days of blitzkrieg by NA.

As a Manu supporter, my contempt for Ole is now complete. Liverpool won by 5 goals yet theie defence was open throughout. They left spaces in the mid field. Any half assed coach would have taken those weaknesses. Now West Ham is showing everyone how to play.

McFred have finally sacked Ole.

The way they capture the Ethiopian Government soldiers in number......Poor battlefield leadership.
Modified.
Don't get me wrong it happens in war. However, modern sensor systems give a clearer picture of the battlefield to allow for tactical manoeuvres to prevent large scale surrender.

See how useless the SU25s and SU27s are?. I stopped arguing these issues because I found some people were just stuck on some old doctrines of warfare and the 'durability' of soviet equipment. Some guys would even have called the Ethiopian Airforce stronger than Nigeria's because of SU27s.

Hello Ethiopia, sensors are everything. Buy ISR gear. Look for supply lines to the rebels and bomb them. Use special forces creatively.
Converting information from as many sensors as possible into a broad picture of the battle space is the only way to do modern warfare.
You would be able to dodge the flanking moves and the feints. See where the enemy is hiding and determine what his objectives really are.

PrinceOfLagos:
Always inaugurating nonsense

They said the building belongs to Osibanjo, why inaugurating panel instead of going after the said owner of the building that has destroyed so many lives

Ignorance. Many people 'were going' to own the building.

TOPCRUISE:
And he was released by powers from above.
Definitely LASBCA chairman did his job. If he was suspended for letting work to continue and ensuring that Femi Osibuona got released then he should be prosecuted. But if he is the one that took action and made spirited effort to stop work but the so called powers from above prevented him from doing his job then the Lagos State government and those powers from above have a case to answer.

He did not do his job. There is no "powers that be" that allowed work to continue at that site. It is his responsibility. This is a lesson to all Nigerians. "Powers that be" has no NIN No. or BVN.

They will beat Liverpool tonight. Their defence leaks

There are no explosive gas mixtures possible outside. People should keep away from closed spaces and tiny buildings.

Ole is a thief
Maguire is a wash out.
Play Ven Den Beek, play Van Den Beek, play Van Den Beek....

There is only ONE

Pogba is a problem

Meanwhile Rashford is still looking at GPS trying to find where he is exactly on the field of play.
You cannot buy experience.

There can be only ONE.

This company was not the construction company. The person who started this thread should correct himself. I know Nairaland is a site for spreading ignorance amongst weak brained youths but this one needs correction

JOemmy:
Nigeria is currently the poverty capital of the world yet buhari keeps spending billions of dollars on military equipments instead on poverty alleviation and education.

So you think you have posted truth or logicality here.
I suppose these days you dont have to use brains before you post anything.
The problem is you will get progressively dumber if you don't use brains.

Lack of security is the new driver of poverty in Nigeria. It is affecting agriculture and preventing new investments including FDI
It is also affecting education so it is creating future poverty.

This is the main driver of herdsmen migration doen south.
We need to re afforestate large tracks of Sudan and Sahel Savannahs. The world can help by providing the money.

Hoverbird:

The Nigerian army have a history of poor human rights record it didn't start today, this has been the case since the 60's it is not a matter of a few individuals this is almost like a policy. Similar scenario happened in a village at Aba were Nigerian Soldiers went house to house butchering unarmed civilians with matchete the video is even on YouTube.
I won't be surprised if they deny it and some people here will shamelessly defend them.

They are not human rights abuses. They are mini war crimes.

It helps not to kill soldiers deployed for internal security. Somehow whichever community does it comes away with tears.

It actually helps not to have soldiers deployed to your community. I have not seen where things have turned out differently. Even UN peace keeping forces abuse civillians, especially females.

Wisdom is scare in this age.

What's the diffrence between E-naira and E-payment...

What is the difference between Naira in your pocket and the one you send through someone to give your brother?

Siwisheswereesh:


We are already enforcing the ban on open grazing in the SW.

Actually, this is how it works:

Fulanis can graze as long as they don't trespass into another person's farm.

Once they trespass, the farmer will call Amotekun to do the arrest the herders and cows as there are existing laws backing both open grazing and Amotekun.

But had there been no such laws, Fulanis will trespass another person's farm and go scot-free or even harass the farmer.

So the law is good and working.

You are a typical Nigerian. You tell lies for a living and you are a coward.
Ban on open grazing is just what it says - No Open Grazing.
The law is un-enforcible that is why there is still open grazing.
The law is also illegal.
By saying they can graze but should not damage crops which was the status quo, you are saying the law was never necessary in the first place.
Just politicians scamming you and other simple minded people.

You made him CBN governor as par what na? The owner of Nigeria abi?

As per OBJ was President and he was my brother, I was supplying all the girls in Aso Rock and because of that, when I suggested your name he said yes.
All your heroes and elders are degenerates.

kikuyu1:


Srsly? I thought we talked about this!?

We did?. Pls educate me.

iwaeda:


Lekki-Epe Expressway Road is full of holdups.

Because they are expanding my friend. About six low bridges, more lanes and some foot bridges. Open your eyes.

Cheii. Fear don catch me.

This is an idiotic thread. The FG never said Dieziani owned diamond encrusted bras or that the bras seized were worth $12.5m.
Lazy, social media addicted youth without critical faculties merely ran with it after someone posted the news about Dieziani assets marked for auction and the world's most expensive bras as a footnote.
Brains were given to man for a purpose but being wide open on social media to suggestions is a sign of a weak brain

This young man is going to pay. Don't waste sympathy when he starts to pay

keep2silent:


Haba why do you keep repeating this misinformation? Type 89 APC has different variants, we don't know the variant NA bought.

Some can only take 12.7mm hits on frontal arc, but only stop AK-47 rifle 7.62mm hits on both sides and rear.

Its best variant that withstand 12.7mm all round is only comfortable if Bandit or ISWAP fires DShK from long distance, anything closer than 300 feet to that armour will fully penetrate and kill all our soldiers inside your magical Type 89 APC that you are praising like its the perfect equipment for Nigerian Army to succeed

Abeg our teacher please no teach us nonsense oooo ,

Soldiers don't stay inside APCs to fight. Why are you building a structure on your ignorance. It is a transport vehicle into battle and there are other vehicles designed to cover APCs.
You need to think up the reality of the scenario where Boko Haram gun trucks fire 12.75mm at 300m.

Lamasta:

Our God is a wonderful God Ole is doing well he is correcting his mistakes.....We the true United fans are with him

Ole is a thoroughly bad manager. What were Fred and Maguire doing in that line up? . Maguire lost steam in 50th minute. Fred is still leaking tackles and would have gotten a red card
