What does this even mean?

This statement makes no sense, does America expect the UAVs to be used against the Ethiopian government?


@shadowprimezero, these are the issues. They might be the best in the world, but America won't let them succeed.

Minister of Defence Maj Gen Bashir Magashi (rtd) has revealed Nigeria’s intention to purchase Turkish attack helicopters to aid the war against insurgency in the country.

He mentioned this in an interview after a meeting with the Turkish Minister of National Defence Hulusi Akar.

Everything about this foot patrol in the DRC just seems correct:
- Designated Marksman -> check;

- Grenadier -> check;

- Foot patrol TTPs -> check;

- Walk where locals walk -> check;

What I've not been able to establish is whether this foot patrol was undertaken by a section or platoon.

Kikuyu1, Odunayaw, CaptainStephen, Jl115, shadowprimezero, SuperSixSeven : would you include the 60mm patmor and RPG-7 on this patrol, and why?

Blowing hot air over nothing. The Caiman and Maxxpro were second hand vehicles from America. The Reva did not do well in Nigerian military service. If this wasn't the case there would have been a repeat order as we have seen with the Bigfoot MRAP.

The NA logs and maintenance guys must have an enduring nightmare with so many different vehicles to look after. Plus, with no economies of scale, procuring spare parts must cost a fortune.

Lurker4Long:


Yep. Exactly what's supposed to happen to a prototype when stress-tested for 4years/25 000km.
There's a reason the Turkish claims have only appeared in a dodgy site and a few Turkish fangirl blogs:
respectable defence publications know this game.

Bro, please modify the post to delete everything I mentioned, we can continue discussing the topic but we shouldn't be the ones pointing out weak points to enemies, I know it's open source knowledge but then some of these enemies aren't that sharp and we will only be helping them by pointing out the weaknesses.

Isis would not excel in the south east because there are not manying faithful followers willing to join them but ipob would. The man is right.

Askira Uba are not Kanuri’s. It’s more of a Christian dominated area of Borno. They are vehemently against anything BH.

Previously BH barely attack their towns because of very low support there. It’s a boundary area between Borno and Adamawa. They are majorly Marghi people with names like Mshelia, Mamza, Gadzama, etc.

Well let’s see how it plays out

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

That stuff at the top of the vehicles

I've only seen the 3 Oryx in Moz footage. There are rumours 2 Rooivalke are there, but nothing confirmed.
On the Moz military side, Paramount has loaned them a Mwari, and delivered more Hinds, armed MI-8 and some ex-UK Army Gazelles.
