Hope you know that Egypt has shown near Saudi level incompetence in its ongoing war against IS in the Sianai. They have pretty posh equipment, but their personal infantry kit for the Army and battlefield tactics are still stuck in the Cold War.

Additionally, are we forgetting Algeria's gained battlefield experience from as recently as their civil war in the 90's??

The Egyptian army isn't as bad as the Saudi army. The Egyptian armed forces operation in the Sinai region has been largely successful. Their have been a huge reduction in attacks in the homeland.
Talking about incompetence, Saudi Arabia is in its on league. I do accept the fact that Saudi soldiers are very ill-disciplined.
The Egyptian army tactics has large evolved. You can't say a country like Egypt purchasing large quantities of military equipments from major suppliers around the world won't evolve tactics in order operate those equipments effectively in the battle space. With all due respect, that's a wrong statement and perspective on the Egyptian army.

Algeria gained experience from it civil war. In fact, the mode in which it wiped out islamists, need to be studied closely by our military. Don't get me wrong, I'm not downgrading the Algerian army, but it's not in Egypt's level. Egypt is clearly the most tested and experienced.

Chakib:
that's a joke right...in africa nobody can be compared to the Algerian army except egypt

C'est vrai, mais l'Egypte a la meilleure armée.

kabe1:
Bro, this isn't even up for an argument. Algeria has the best military in Africa, especially when all indices are taken into account.

Egypt might have a bigger military, however a large number of their equipment are prone to sanctions.

The last paragraph is still doubtful. I don't understand when you say prone to sanctions. Isn't it the Egypt that is a western ally?!
Egypt have the best army in Africa. Egyptian Army is the most Battle tested in North Africa. They are the most experienced.
Algeria has an Army anyone will wish for. They have a very good defense force overall, but it is untested. We can't vouch for something untested. Egypt over Algeria.

WoeBetide666:
Please get out of here, idiot. If not for the military would you open your wide mouth and be typing typing this trash in the comfort of your home. Go to Borno and ask them about Buhari tUrNiNg NiGeRiAnS AgAiNsT tHe MiLiTaRy

Verdammt. Please, you shouldn't have insulted him.

You are absolutely right, sadly you are not seeing the big picture,[b][/b] Africans dont think the way you do, Africans here mean (law enforcement & criminals), you strongly believe Bandits deserve a day in court, I believe same too but reality is different, those that designed law & order never envisaged that a criminal could walk with just a phone call, they never envisaged a judicial system & prosecutor could be in bed, it doesn't happen anywhere in the world, therefore, you can not juxtapose a near utopia with an Anomie, two different scenarios.

2ndly, the way terrorists are infesting Africa today unlike 30yrs ago is alarming, apart from the fact most African countries lack the capacity to deal with it, they have very little knowledge how they should turn the table around, believe it or not, if something drastic doesn't happen in the nearest future, Africa will become the global terror headquarters. That will pose a significant risk to Africans in Africa & the world at large, in the last 20 yrs, we have learnt that Kinetic & non kinetic approach has not been effective therefore, it's time Deterrence came on board.

I must warn you at this point that deterrence & its corresponding collateral damage is not a friendly approach, its Barbaric it is designed to put the fear of God in the enemy, to re-think his actions keeping consequence in mind.
Like President Roosevelt said after Pearl Harbor attacks, "America & her allies have become naked in the Pacific, the Actions of the Japanese requires no friendly engagement but deterrence, they said Japan is untouchable, tell that to the Marines who will strike the heart of Tokyo"
Later on the US responded by taking over 300,000 lives in one nuclear pop, a strategy that has dettered Japan for nearly 100yrs. Remember that Japan wasn't at war with the US before the Pearl harbour incident, like it or not, if the designers of law & order, with water tight Judicial system employ Barbaric deterrence when necessary why shouldn't Africans?

In a more recent example, when the Taliban refused to negotiate with Trump's administration, CIA revealed they were emboldened by a sinister Pakistani cross border group named Haqqani rebels, Trump demanded that the MOAB, 2nd most lethal non nuclear untested bomb be dropped on them as a deterrence, Pakistani govt later reported that the fire that ensued took two weeks to be put out after which it became impossible to differentiate humans with sand, by humans we mean the rebels, co-conspirators & collateral damages.

If the United state that epitomises law and order unleash deterrence when necessary, why not Africans? if your answer is yes, then there should be no debate, if "NO"then ask yourself why US didn't arrest emperor Hirohito & try him for Pearl habour instead of the nuclear option, why was Sirajuddin Haqqani not arrested and tried for his support of the Taliban in the spirit of law & order?

A very good submission but "Africans don't think they way you do" might not be appropriate.

Seems Rohr was involved . Midfield .

@Stormtrooper11, we won't be taking kindly to it if you laugh at that name.

Lol. Already did.
I heard bout it early this year from my AFIT pals. I thought it was just rumors.

It simply means " commot for road missile" CFRM.

okay.

Wow

Nigerian Chief of Army Staff visits Proforce Defence facility

I got high hopes and expectations for this visit. I do remember that the last COAS, made contact with the proforce CEO,but it was very obvious then that Buratai wasn't serious with making a deal with proforce.
I like this present COAS and the present crop of high ranking officers leading our military. Gen. Faruk approach, looks much more determined to bring the needed positive impact on our Army.

RiceProducers:
It is highly classified info

RiceProducers:
The name of the missile is in Nigerian pidgin English. Thats how much I can tell you without killing you

is this sarcasm??

EricBraven:
CFRM

Sorry, please what does that mean? I couldn't get it.

Was NNS Aradu a frigate or destroyer then?

According to the manufacturer of the vessel NNS Aradu, which is a type MEKO-360H1, its classified as a "General purpose frigate".
We talked about classification of capital vessels in navies around the world in my earlier post. The Nigerian navy classified it as a frigate. The Argentine navy, operates something similar to ours. It's the MEKO-360H2 vessel. According to the Argentine navy, it's a destroyer.
General purpose frigates, are like the link between Frigates and destroyers. Its systems could be easily upgraded to destroyer standards. In my opinion, MEKO-360H1, i.e NNS Aradu, is truly a frigate. Frigates are slower to destroyers. NNS Aradu is 56km/hr.
NNS Aradu is a frigate.

kabe1:
We all agree that the P18N is an OPV. Nobody is arguing to the contrary.

I shared a picture of our Frigate and Navy Type056 ships side by side to show size difference between a Frigate & a Corvette.

Our resident South African clown started arguing something entirely different like government work.

i get it now.

Basically, ships and naval vessels in navies around the world, are classified by displacement/tonnage , armament, roles, length, endurance, etc. Each Navy has its on classification of vessels. The Nigerian navy is not an exception. While some will argue that the P18N is a corvette, but classified as an OPV in the Nigerian Navy, i would say, the P18N is the OPV variant of the Type 056 corvette.
The P18N is an OPV, because: (1) it lacks the armament to be pronounced a corvette. (2) its role is one for an OPV i.e patrol of EEZ, anti-priacy, etc. (3)it lacks ASW, SAM, AAM capabilities.
That's my few thoughts about this.

Apply dry powered turmeric with squeezed lemon juice. Wash your face each time it feels oily. Especially after going under sun. Baths twice daily. Consume at least 5 litres of water daily. Come and thank me after 2 months. I passed through this too. Mine was worse lol. I overcame. She can too. Don't go and waste money on skin cream that will worsen it.

Toju200:
that's what iI' optimistic about is it for the M346FA or we're going for Additional aircrafts either Gunships or Drones or ISR birds

Hope it's the latter. We really need heavy transport aircrafts tho.

Toju200:
don't know yet
Have you seen the supplementary budget for NAF!!
140billion alone for Additional aircrafts

Is that apart from the money paid for the m346FAs

Are we purchasing more UCAVs? I saw a tweet. Not sure if it's true. Any confirmation here?

Mine is 3020 mAh. Huawei honor play 7. Lasts 2.5 hours with heavy usage. Sometimes 3 hours.

KingCold:
There's a women's league now maybe hence the improvement, also our players are starting to venture to Europe a lot and the South African FA is taking women's football seriously.

Nice to hear. Thumbs up to your FA.

timay1:
I don't think Ajibade was invited
No way in hell she's in the team and not brought in during the game.

Her name was on the list.

timay1:
Please, those veterans in the team are spent already. They were woeful.

It was not rocket science that our best players in the team are new young players and few home based.

Oshoala is finished until further notice. She's been bad for some months now.

I was surprised, Rashidat ajibade was invited but she didn't play. Why didn't she play? Desire claims she's 27, but she has to go. She wasted our chances. Had it been she got em right, story could have been different. I don't know what she was feeling. We don't even have a striker. She was just blowing balls. Truth be told, their was nothing professional yesterday. We played like amateurs.

labas370:
I posted here that the way Zambian female team played at the Olympics, if they meet SF, SF will find it hard to win them. Bayana Bayana just proved me right. It's good that it during this ABC and that will make the coach to sit up.

For me, some of those players should be retired. Alozie is not a defender. She is a striker/winger..

Our entire coaching crew looked clueless to me yesterday. Alozie isn't a defender?? Never knew. That waldrum guy was looking nervous. The look on our goalkeeper's face didn't even inspire confidence. Is that the same goalkeeper we took to the world cup? Because yesterday's own was just shaking like it's her first international game.

KingCold:
Lol.It's this stupid kit we're wearing

Lol. Your girls are really young with potential.

Penalty. It's over. Verdammt.

Nigeria 2-3
