Are you serious ? straight line ? Its not a game .

do you think armored , mecanized divisions will start from border line , to border line in straight line . its not athletism sprint . natural obstacle , the field ?? deploy with good existing roads even curved will be always faster than straight line in natural field. desert is not all flat with no obstacle . try your self a little car or bus , now imagine to deploy an armored division


+ in case of a big invasion attack, there will be major bases of deployment in tamenrasset 400 km inside algeria or at best 200 km to protect them from surprise air strikes or attacks from nigeria and even from french Us reco units drones sabotage ect ... You need a security distance to detect threats on your bases and have the time to react, exemple where put radars, air defense systems to cover your bases ?) . you dont put your major deployment bases on borders directly in an open desert.
and i dont know where is the first big base of nigerian army in the north but i'm sur algerian army will have to cross some hundreds km inside to destroy first major bases but it will be more than 1000 km for algerian strategy deployment

+ do you think this divisions with mutiple units . tanks . ifv , mlrs , escort , mobile air defense , artillery , troops ect.... will do 1000 km or even 500 km in a blitz attack with maximum speed until maximum range operation or until they have no fuel no.stop ?? . check operational range of units . There will be at least two stops and intermediate deployment bases to secure a supply line , . you dont send your units behind niger territory with ,niger, french, US present armies + terrorists so easily . you need to secure the path .

+ big wars and invasion are not launched in a day . hee good morning lets invade nigeria tomorow . its years of politics problems and threats , even in case of an imaginary stupide surprise attack you will find even reports of french Nato moroccan intelligences in medias about our big armoured , mecanized divisions moving from the north their current known sites to the south . but in reality in case of problem with nigeria you will have a special big divisions deploy in the south years before , like we have for moroccan threat and libyan mess , for exemple NATO attack iraq only after 13 years of embargo and more years threatning them. so nigeria if is threatening by another country it will have some years to arm according to the new threat .


+ in a war with countries with no common border, no land ownership conflicts , no scenario of a large migrant population to genocide ... its impossible to start with a large-scale invasion directly, so the worst case will be limited air strikes after many months of diplomatic tension. And even just for imaginary scenario algerian invasion there is a lot of mistakes on how you imagine a war .

And finaly . maybe i dont have the right to say this , but yes nigerian army as an army of a big country in africa is weak now ! All nigerians here know it , no one is blind , i see it, i read it on this military thread . i know its frustrating even for me to see only few training alpha jets and few mig 21 copy or waiting the holy poor 3 pakist JF17 or begging US for few expensive tucanos. for a big country like nigeria they need to spend billions and billions for big contracts for new equipments and train for some years with to master them . but this subject is obvious , you push at open doors .

You prove nothing with long story, argument is - I say Algeria is not 1,000 km away as you ignorant guys said, it is what I said; 550km or 4 hours away by army tiger vehicles and 8 hours by t-90 tank, so I proved it correct with google distance calculator.

Desert wars America fought with Iraqi, they were moving only on commercial bus roads? No, Iraqi 1 million man army was dug in open desert, America invaded with 4x4 and track abrams tanks to meet and fight Iraq in open desert. Armies for this purpose have 4WD vehicles and track tanks to travel unpaved roads for war.

Niger Republic terrain map shows my route is all flat open land, see photo below. You are the dreamers creating imaginary obstacles on open semi-desert land to slow down invading army that will first find and study shortest distance route terrain topography map like I did. Also see your own photo of Morocco army in a more difficult full desert driving with speed, are they on bus travel road? No.

Algerian army knows a surprise attack is best with my idea of open route by no man's land, your own idea of driving 4 times longer route of commercial buses through many towns will expose them to people and element of surprise or secrecy is lost. Algeria would have studied that short route with drone mapping and send spies to drive one toyota 4x4 vehicle with civilian color to scout it. You know I am correct, you all just want to save your ego after losing

I have no interest in how many vehicles they use first time, all I said is Algerian army is only 4 hours away from Nigeria, and I proved it 100% correctly. I hope you all learnt your lessons again, I am not a perfect human being, but before I comment, I spend time and megabytes Googling with common sense, something most of you here find hard to do, but its a foolish idea to argue with someone who is very detailed and careful, you will end up looking like a fool. Thank you brother for your much time spent

He contributes nothing meaningful to the thread except to start childish tantrums. You will do well to ignore him.

Its arrogant pride to insinuate that only your own comments are good, then call another persons comments irrelevant, just because he told you to obey Nigerian law. My Algeria invasion comment you call irrelevant, I didn't ask anybody to reply but a dozen people cannot resist for days replying me with thousands of words, longest comments anywhere on Nairaland, you beg them for days to stop, but they refuse.

If you are wise, you will ask me to sell you my crowd pulling juju. See long epistle Algerian man commented again today replying what you say is irrelevant

Strictly a Public Service Announcement:nation vs nation in conventional battle is a regular field of study in ALL MILITARY ACADEMIES!? It doesn't mean the US will invade Mexico or Canada will lead an imminent amphib assault across the Great Lakes simultaneously seizing Wisconsin,Michigan and up state New York. Its simply a theoretical exercise misunderstood by legions of hormonal fan girls in here!

Don't mind them, according to clownish Baba Suwe brained Basket Mouth regular posters and major contributors who believe their family owns Nairaland, mentioning likelihood of Nigeria at war with Algeria or any country, is a sin, crime, derailment, stupiid imagination, impossible event, waste of time, irrelevant and useless contribution to a war discussion forum

They prefer to keep repeating ak-47, hilux dshk, alpha jet, f-7 jet, for 20 years non-stop, because that is far better than a mentally stimulating, educative, predictive, and national awareness creating discuss on possibility of Algeria or another nation invading Nigeria, as if Chad has not invaded us before, or Cameroon did not fight us on Bakassi.

They believe Nigeria has, and will only ever fight the types of Boko Haram. You know bro, if I say 8 out of 10 black people are stupiid in thinking, I will be right, but unfortunately I am a black man too, so I don't want to say it.

This is how their forefathers thought only Nigerian tribes like Oyo empire and Fulani caliphate will be fighting themselves, until British navy-army came from 5,000 km with superior weapons to defeat all 300+ Nigerian tribes armies, captured-rápéd their mother and sisters, destroyed all their kingdoms, colonize them for centuries, beheaded their Kings, enslaved all their forefathers-mothers and shipped 1 million Nigerians away in slave trade.

Yes, these ones are even less intelligent than their forefathers, because despite the benefit of history recorded and taught to us in schools, they still believe it is stupiid to imagine Nigeria being invaded by another country.

I don't blame Michael Jackson for bleaching off his skin to point of death, he was tired of being a black man, when he sees black men's endless foolishness upon foolishness, abeg make I no talk 2 much

iblawi:
Behaving as if you proved your claims.

Fools always think everyone is foolish. keep typing rubbish.

You are very very very wrong! You calculated distance on blue curved line, it's a curved road, I calculated on red straight line, a straight way. The rule of map reading is : SHORTEST DISTANCE is always on a straight line.

My photo 1: Shortest points of major towns between Nigeria and Algeria is from Assamakka up north to Birnin Konni down south. That red arrow route is already 618 km much shorter than the blue line road 986km or almost 1,000 km that you and the Algerian soldier are using in big error!

My photo 2 : Map reading rule 1 is, shortest distance between two points is along a straight line joining them. I chose the shortest distance between Algeria and Nigeria by shifting even shorter than Assamaka, I moved to border line close to empty no man's land, that is 550 km.

I have smartly picked the shortest route that an invading army will use to save time and fuel, but all the 15 of you chose the wrong way of city to city, with traffic slow down, police checking points delays, you all followed longer commercial bus route and I have beaten you all to arrive Nigeria from Algeria in 4 hours on 550 km straight line shortest distance on border line of Niger Republic.

I proved my claim 100% correct. With this, I now know why you all want me to leave this forum for you, anybody smarter must be kicked out. Sorry to disappoint you, I am going to stay here as long as I want, I told you since 2017, this is 2019, I will only go away when I decide not to put one minute of my time here anymore.

Now, say thank you sir, for the free geography lesson on map reading and shortest distance travel Kikikikiki

supremecourt, please allow sensible people to comment.

Your false claims are killing this thread. some other fools like you because you type long stories based on your imagination. I which they knew you've being downloading virus into their head.

So, all those who click like on my comment you now call fools? You and your gang are so desperate to insult everybody in one blow?

For you I have put you where you will belong, get angry all you want. This is a discussion thread, and you will not stop anybody from discussion, your booboo story of PHOTO only, I have sent it to the refuse dump

Yes, my meaningless contributions, that 12 people will read and start replying on 3 pages for 3 days, I guess most of your major contributors dont get that much response. Like it or hate it, people will massively respond to a thought provoking comment 10 times more than a recycled photo of men carrying ak-47 that we have seen tried for 5 long years!

pacretus:
Mr theorist, Stop trying to make yourself "known " by repeating what we already know. Go out there make yourself useful and save us the stress of reading your irrelevant posts.
Irrelevant because
* they proffer no solutions
* They are known facts
*You have no military pictures to post
*Nigeria is too smart to fight with any country. Not even Benin republic( this you know very well).

So debating and writing long posts on Nigeria vs Algeria, makes you look very S tupid.

Please stop it(My sincere Advice).

I dont need your useless advice that tells another Nigerian not to speak his mind on social media because 10 people dont want to hear his topic, NOTHING will happen to me if I ignore you. You are just another Nairalander, period. Here, on this Nairaland, all of us are EQUAL, nobody will rule over others.

Who told your ignorant self Nigeria will not fight anybody not even Benin? Nigeria fought Chad 1980s with President Buhari as Armoured corps General rolling scorpion tanks and NAF mig-21 destroying Chadians up to 50 km near Ndjamena capital city, the video by NAF has been posted here many times. Cameroon we fought and killed over Bakassi Shagari and Abacha time.

Most of you here are ignorant, and anybody that betters you in knowledge is called useless contributor, stupiid, irrelevant, repeating himself, he must get out of the forum to make you not be overshadowed in broad day light. Does your family own Nairaland? No !

You have English reading problem. I never said Nigeria will go and fight Algeria, I said what if Algeria invades us weapons they stockpile? I proved it because Nigerian history records of Biafra war dozens of Algerian air force jet bombers were flown to support my own side of Nigeria and used to demolish other side of Nigerians in the Eastern region.

I have told you all, driving me away is a MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, all of us are equal Nigerians who will all enjoy freedom of speech in our democracy, same freedom people died for on streets of Lagos to stop military censorship, we are NOT going to allow suppression of any Nigerian's rights, I will be here as long as I want, I will write anything I want as a reasonable person.

You think this forum is worldwide hot cake? You are not more than 15 people recycling yourselves, other threads on Nairaland have 1,000 different people commenting, so dont think your thread is gold and bigger than any Nigerian law that gives Nigerians freedom.

Go and sit down, I will be here to comment anytime I like it, you can do me NOTHING !

So now I'm a thief? This guy truly have mental problem, i deleted someone's comment? Where did that happen? Who is @zoharriel? Because last i checked, the only forum i go to is here, i don't have twitter, Instagram or even facebook accounts.
See your life, calling me 419, you stooped that low? that's sad kid. If your parents raised you well, you will know to never accuse someone you don't know of such, that's truly insane of you to call me that.
I mean, convo went from military matters to you calling me a thief? damn. I feel sorry for the lady who bore you.

See you pouring river of saliva on your laptop, I said it, you are the Obese one with boiling blood high B.P. I am cool calm kikkikki

I caught you red handed deleting @zoharriels comment that agreed with me, so I called you 419 because you did fraud, to delete a powerful comment that agreed with me, so it could be only me saying what I say, that's unfair like Yahoo scam, see your dressing in your profile photo, real hussler looks, not clean type.

You don't insult people? You do, using words like "I pity the lady that bore you" in this your comment you insulted my mother stylishly, that's how you do it and claim Holy Pope

I am a tough lawyer, I don't need crowd, I am trained stand alone to prove 100 people wrong with evidence.

2017 I was the only one who said Nigeria's tokunbo t-72 tanks are falling apart and BHT will soon find anti-tank to blow it up so NA needs t-90 soonest, but all of you here ganged up against me saying no, NA t-72 tanks are good, SupremeCourt is wrong, idiott, stupiid, he has no military knowledge, professional soldier Captain Stephen said our t-72 are good he is posting comment from inside t-72 now!

2018 my prediction turned your crowd of 20 to the biggest fools on Nairaland, Boko Haram anti-tank blew up our t-72 in Metele, exactly as I predicted, our tokunbo tank was beheaded with it's own cook off ammo, then Metele soldiers posted YouTube video confirming all I said to be 100% accurate, Nigerian t-72 gun only fires only twice then jam with stoppage, reason Boko Haram killed some 150 soldiers in Metele, destroyed mrap, innoson truck, looted base, and probably got our 40 barrel rockets later fired on Maiduguri. How I wish 'professional' soldier Captain Stephen was inside t-72 tank at Metele when Boko Haram visited base with anti-tank

That's how bad it gets for a country where people always lie to themselves, insincerity, hatred of truth and the truth teller, padi padi life joining liars to continue filling forum with lies. A good lawyer is conscience of society. I stand always where I see it is right to stand, 20 people disagree, I don't care

Nigeria to Algeria is 550km away? Seriously, wondering if some people attended geography class.

Prove them wrong, they have proved you wrong with Google Distance Calculator, so leave your mouth, use your brain to prove your geography here bro.

But we can solve this once and for all, let's just rob Algeria, I mean, we already have an inside man, here on nairaland
People gotta learn to have debates without raising their blood pressure lol, it ain't that complicated. I come here to have fun with my brethren, not get into drama, i don't do crazy.
Ferrari is faster than Lamborghini...... "No it's not, you idiot".
See, that's not how to have a conversation. It's mad childish.
If you think one country is more powerful than another, lay down your case, others will lay down theirs and you compare and contrast lol, why pop a vein over that? Not like na my papa be the President. Sheet
Now moving on.

It's 4th time I see you shouting here- somebody has high blood pressure here, well it's actually you, I can prove it.

1. You, only you keep repeating it.

2. We are on internet, the only blood pressure you can measure is yours not other people's​ B.P.

3. Blood pressure is much more common with obese fat people, your profile photo shows you are in obesity of serious fatness

4. Your fatty blood boiled so much yesterday you had to delete the comment of @Zoharariel who wrote a powerful comments that Algeria with wipe out Nigeria with bi-annual rockets. Your American Yahoo 419 life fraudulently deleted a comment you cannot defeat in a debate.

5. Confirmed - the only high pressure exploding bloody veins here are those in your own obese fat body my brother Kikikikikikkikkik

BabaOwen:
The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai on Wednessday said the army has strong evidence against politicians sponsoring bandits, kidnapping and other forms of criminality in the country.

Lt. Gen. Buratai stated this while receiving the Chairman House Committe on the Army after visiting Maimanlari cementary to honor fallen heros in Maiduguri on Wednessday.

He said: ''The myraid of security challenges we are facing right now in the northwest, north central and other parts of the country, I want to believe and rightly so that it is a fallout of the just concluded general election.

"There are political class intrests, politicians in particular who saw their defeats as a way of trying to revenge, sponsoring these criminal activities even the bandits, the farmers and herders.

"There are strong political undertones and strong political influnces including (in these) kidnappings.

"We use this opportunity to call on the chairman house committee on army to prevail on some of these politicains, to really look at national intrest first, before any political or sectional intrest.

"We have some strong evidence but we are still being conscious so that we don't get it wrong but the best is to advice these politicians.

"The threat by boko haram is quite real, they have been dealt with but they are still much around. In terms of their various soft target attacks on some military locations, right now Boko haram terrorists are on the run but because of the resilient nature of terrorism they are always trying to score points to shows that they are much around."

http://saharareporters.com/2019/05/15/defeated-politicians-2019-elections-sponsoring-bandits-herdsmen-revenge-says-buratai

Is it only me that can't understand the self-contradictory language here? A careful way of saying both yes and no at the same time?

We the army have dealt with (I guess in Nigeria English it means defeated them, or what?) Boko Haram so they are on the run but very much around killing us in their own systematic way.

I think a small smart super mobile guerilla style enemy will be very content with being being on the run as in guerilla style and same time being very much around enough for us to admit it.

My opinion is, Boko Haram is still playing their own game according to their own plan, we have not won or defeated them, their IED just killed our gallant Lt. Colonel.

My guess, DHQ degraded BHT to near death. FGN millions of dollars ransom paid for Chibok girls release resurrected Boko back to life till now.

You keep saying Nigerians this, Nigerians that, thank God you are the only intelligent Nigerian on this thread. I think we would have to advice the C-in-C to appoint you as the new army chief. I bet in 45 minutes BH will be decimated, or would you invite Algeria? I would have loved to reply you with further analysis but like a typical Nigerian nairalander you have resorted to insults.Hold on to your assumptions and enjoy them as much as you want. On a thought I don't see any reason for this discussion. Meanwhile enjoy your stay here.

Bros, I like you style of cowardice ; "emm emm hmmmn, I for answer you wit reply you dis small boy, but I am very busy now watching Chelsea vs Arsenal, the match will enter injury time and extra time and penalty shoot out, so I am busy for the next 12 hours, or else I would have replied you and tearr you into pieces, abi you don't know me? eh?"

I know your style, Mr. Coward

kikuyu1:
Not enough of you guys have looked at[b] costing![/b] Any weapons system has a buying cost and an operational cost incl maintenance. Eg,The Archer,a high end arty system has a buy cost of 12 mn$ and annual upkeep of 0.6mn$. Bottom line what's your budget? In 2018 you spent 1.9bn$,an increase from 1.6 bn$ previously for 100k in the triservices-all acquisitions of systems,ordanance,ammo etc.etc,operations,.training,pay and welfare come from, this amount.
Its an enormous ask ! The KDOD had a billion dollars in 2017 for our own 30k triservices. I understand the financial situation your brass faces and wonder[b]-how many of you do?[/b]

Thanks, I see your valid point, but we Nigerians know our country. Let me inform you, we pay our military extra-budgetary funds specially for weapons procurement and also we give them free equipment by transfer. Navy gets many gunboats from NIMASA and cash from NNPC, foreign oil companies too pay them. Navy gets big ships frigate size as gift from USA and China gave large boat. Navy got 300 new gunboats free NNPC donation in 2006-2008 to fight Niger Delta militants.

Air force got many free helicopters from NIMASA and NNPC.

Army gets cash and gifts of food and other civilian materials supply from states, local govts. Army also gets cash from CBN extra. Army also gets donation of weapons from USA, UK, Italy, Germany, Spain, Holland, etc.

NNPC is our government oil company. CBN is our government bank.

They got so many extra hardware, including advanced radars our army got from Germany, heavy mortars from Britain, anti-IED equipment for mine clearing from EU, medical equipment from EU, MRAPs from USA. Germany also gave army like 3 Gazelle helicopters armed. So many donations of hardware and material supplies they get free.

On top of that we gave them extra $2 billion for new weapons alone in 2014. Then 2015 Buhari released emergency fund $500 million to military for urgent equipment purchase. We gave air force special deposit over $300 million for super tucano.

Now they want another $1 billion for weapons and senate complained that the $2 billion extra cash of 2014 the military has not yet explained how it was spent before asking for another billion dollars.

An army general went on TV to show one tavor rifle as proof of why they need $1 billion for a $2,000 rifle we already bought in thousands years ago and added like 15,000 Beryl rifles on top that we bought already, so why tavor again? He said plus other things, what other things? Senate got no clear detailed list of what army will buy with this billion dollars, so the money is delayed as we hear, I dont know how far.

The army has no strategic plan for modernization or improvement, they just want the cash in billions and in dollars! Now are we mad to keep paying them like we dont have common sense?

I agree with you archer arty can cost millions but we dont need artillery, we have much already, we need good tanks and army has no plan for tanks, they are busy opening vehicle manufacturing plant to export armoured vehicles all over Africa in 2030, which army is into that big complex business in this world?

The $2 billion of 2014, they bought 43 t-72 second hand near expired with jamming gun that breaks down in combat, those tanks value is under $80 million out of two billion, so what of the remaining $1.92 billion?

They should have bought 100 new t-90 for $400 million and we still have surplus change aplenty, and new tanks gun will not jam like old cargo. They bought no bmp ifv as some people say we need ifv here daily saying.

Now in addition to all the above, government normal annual defence budget cashed out to military for capital expenditure average per year $500 million in addition to all the free materials, weapons, and special cash.

So 2000 to 2019, our normal cash budget for only weapons procurement estimates at $10 billion !!!

Please show me weapons Nigerian military bought for $10 billion in 2000 to 2019 Nigeria spent more than half of the $15 billion Algeria spent on weapons only from 2006 to 2019 so we should have more than half of what they have for weapons. Why is the gap in available weapons so wide a margin between Nigeria and Algeria, that is the BODMAS mathematics that we need our military to explain to us with proof.

It's quite sad to call people engaged in a conversation "Assholes", you should grow up, I'm sure you can make your point without insulting people you had not prior issues with. The hell is wrong with some people.

Why are you challenging him? I have been called weed smoker, stupiid felow, senseless man here many times in unprovoked attacks by people I have no prior issues with, I never saw you challenge them for insulting me without cause. You see, that spirit of selective 'justice' and padi padi that you people do here, is a symbol of the rottenness of Nigeria as a whole, same thing your leaders use to wreck your lives and cheat you.

You, I pity those who agree with you to mess up Nigerian social media, they dont check your profile to see that you have run away overseas when the mess of Nigeria tire you. You dare not in in your America or whatever place go on an American forum in Oyinbo land and tell somebody to stop commenting on a discuss you dont like, they will flush your black azz out of their forums for challenging freedom of speech.

What you cannot do in America, you come here many times and do it, and make Nigeria an insane society, and some fools here support you blindly while you mess up where they live but you enjoy freedom of speech in USA where you live. Shame on you bro.

I swear I can never all this stupid argument about Nigeria vs ...

You're killing the thread!

Dey deceive yourself o !

This thread died silently long time ago when it became repetition of ak-47, dshk toyota technical, alpha jet, copy paste Twitter DHQ alerts of public info, and ugly crumbling NA ancient tanks that make eyes bleed looking at them, same repeats for long 5 years.

All the South Africans left you Nigerians alone to continue repeating same thing forever since Nigerian miltary offers nothing new to show for now. The Southies have a sensible country, millions of white men who set standards their public demands from their goverment, unlike us Nigerians who tolerate and adapt to any crap our government officials subject us to.

Truth dey bitter sha o. I am not against anybody who wants to live on this forum 24/7, it's his own life not mine, I no complain, they can award titles of regular poster and major contributor to themselves, it will increase their GTB balance when they check bank account with ATM

Arm chair General, thank God your not a military officer if not we would have being in a serious problem. That was how Adekunke aka Black scorpion after leading the 3MCDo to numerous victory, travelled to Lagos and was holding press briefing on how he was gonna takeover Owerri ABA Umuahia before Christmas. Only for him to be demystified by Joe Achuzie and Lambert. 21,000 men lost their lives because of one wrong move by a fantastic theatre commander. That was how his role in 3mcdo ended.
So you used a Google map to get the accurate distance from the nearest point btw Algeria and Nigeria, weldone. I don't want to going to the arguments of Algerian Su's and ballistic missiles you've been googling since. Moreover neighboring countries in Nigeria will fold their hands while Algerians role in their tanks. Ibadan to Lagos sef is roughly 2-3hrs.
You're a genius.

Why don't you quote this reply on my comment that proved Algeria is just 550km and only 4 hours away from Nigeria?

You don't have the courage and sincerity to quote that because I embarrassed you, scientifically proving your ignorance after all your King Kong chest beating braggadocio

All of you here that cannot read wide, but rather use mouth more than brain, this is the type of open disgrace you will be forced to swallow for attacking those who do proper homework before posting comment.

I ignore your ranting comment posted in defeat, but take this uppercut as a gift from me ; Neighboring countries did not fold arms and look when Boko Haram imported many hundreds toyota mounted anti-aircrafts into Nigeria by driving down here from thousands of kilometers far away Libya, so Chad Niger Cameroon stopped them all for Nigeria 2013-2014, they even stopped Shekau kidnap convoy from removing our 300 Chibok girls out of Nigeria to Cameroon Chad forests.

You are not worth any more teaching, you are a born to fail student my bros.

Insincerity, denial of open truth by most of you here, that's what killed value off this forum, and those of us who believe in good morals don't hang around here swimming inside the pool of lies, dishonesty, disregard for human moral values.

Bros big shame on you, I had to teach you an adult how to Google shortest distance from Nigeria to Algeria, as old as you are bros

That is the problem! This is not a discussion thread!! This is a strictly PHOTOS and VIDEOS only thread with naturally little analysis that follows.

A thread has been created solely for the purpose of DISCUSSION.
Here is the link to the thread: https://www.nairaland.com/1962290/african-militaries-strictly-discussions-thread

Stop lying mister, both title heading and page 1 first comment says boldy this is a discussion thread, no where does it say just a STRICTLY PHOTO only with little natural analysis.

Quote of first comment page 1 by Bidexiii

"Battle field discussion (picture/video's) of african military;
these is a thread where by we discuss military histories and the harsh realty of war are being shared be it in pictures and video !"

You don't have authority to make the rules on Nairaland to suit your personal wish, you are not a senator lawmaker here.

What of all the discussions without photo that you yourself has done here in past pages I have checked, your STRICTLY PHOTO law does not apply to you? You are a king ruling over everybody else here?

You don't like a topic, ignore it, the habit of ruling over others like Abacha era censorship will not be tolerated by those who value Nigeria's freedom of speech in our democracy that many Nigerians died for on the streets of Lagos killed by guns of past military dictatorship in government. All Nigerians are free now, the price was paid with blood sacrifice of public demonstrators.

Don't push Nigeria back to the dark days of media censorship.

Algerian1:
Algeria attacking nigeria funny . algerian army cant agress or even have operations outside our borders its an important article of algerian constitution .

Algerian diplomats were kidnapped in 2012 in mali . the terrorist bases were not too far from the Algerian borders and yet, despite the demands
Algerian army refused to bomb their bases. the same for the attack on the gas site by terrorists from Libya in 2013 . the army refused to strike or to send troops to libya near borders to clean the area .

as for the war with Morocco. Algeria was in a defensive position . morocco try to invade a part of algerian territory in 1963 few month of algerian independancy . so its normal .

.even if algeria sent a full brigade (3000 troops, 128 tanks . 670 vehicles . 12 howters ect...) to support egypt in 73 . it took them 13 days .( 12 to 25 october) they arrived the last day of war with cease-fire accords . because egyptian lanched war alone without waiting . + two squadrons mig 21, + one squadron su 7 + one squadron mig 17 that arrived first days of war


Another logistic episode was the match between algeria egypt in sudan 2009 when algerian air force transported 20.000 algerians fans to sudan in less than 48 h .


But attacking a big country like nigeria .200 millions population . Just impossible !

Get first point, nobody here said Algeria will attack Nigeria. Get that point clear dont twist my words.

Second, Algeria is not 1,000 km away its 550 km from Nigeria at shortest point border to border. I used accurate google distance calculator.

Population does not mean we cannot be defeated, are the 200 million people all soldiers and all armed for war? Israel with population of 3 million defeated combined Arab nations of 100 million and pursued fleeing Egyptian army almost into Cairo. When a stronger country beats you properly you will run, all your population will run to do refugee across border. Did millions of Nigerian not flee to Chad, Cameroon, Niger when Boko Haram pushed out our army? Why is big population not making Boko Haram to stop attacking us in Borno?

What I said is, no wise country will have Nigeria's money $50 billion forex reserve, and be armed with 43 old 1982 t-72 tanks that have been confirmed by NA to fire twice and gun jam stoppage, till enemy enters our base to blow up our tank.

Nigeria should not sleep at ease with 43 useless half expired t-72 tanks 1970s technology and watch Algerian army loaded with some 400 t-62, 400 t-72, 500 t-90, 300 bmpterminator, 10,000 guided anti-tank missiles, iskander ballistic missiles, s-300 sam, bm-smerch, buratino flame-thrower, 1,000, fauchs afv, 1,000 btr and bmp ifvs all with missiles, now German puma ifv, all 550km away from our border.

I decide to leave Algeria's 50 su-30 flankers with some 2,000 missiles and guided bombs out of the discussion, I want the fools to forget that it's there and talk foolish

I said what if they decide in future to attack Nigeria (leave the reason to justify war, Yemen never imagined UAE will invade them today). We are just being human to say we cannot tell the future, so are we prepared to defend against Algeria?

Today Algerian constitution that says no foreign military adventure, but it was not in the law until after some years that they made the law, but what if they change that law in 5 years time?

During Nigerian civil war 1967, one side looked like 100% Christian but the other side was like 50% Christian ~50% Muslim. Algeria took sides and sent us squadron of Algerian air force fighter jets to Muslim side of Nigeria against the fully Christian side, I don't know if Algeria gave us pilots, but we had North African Arab pilots flying those Algerian intervention jets, people said the pilots were Egyptian but Algerian look like Egyptians. There is record of Algerian military heavy weapons being sent by Algeria into Nigeria in a war to kill Nigerians/Biafrans. All the fools here saying Algerian massive weapons stock being used against Nigeria is imaginary impossible nonsense idea, those Nigerian fools that don't read to know Nigerian history in detail, they are the real stupid ones here.

Algerians are nowadays uprising on the streets demonstrating against their government, looks on TV like millions in number, of angry educated adults trooped out, who forced Algerian president out of power just weeks ago!

Algerians are now calling for a change of military doctrine, that is what I read days ago that made me say Nigeria should not sleep while this strange Algeria grows very very powerful just 4 hours away from our border 550km away!

Here is the call for new Algerian military doctrine, what if a new government adopts the change below in 5 years time?

"Algeria’s defense doctrine is outdated — better suited to a Cold War-era security environment than to meeting the security challenges the country faces in the early 21st century, it is imperative that Algeria proceed to update its defense doctrine."

https://www.mei.edu/publications/updating-algerias-military-doctrine

The fools liking your comment do not read wide, not many people are smart in Nigeria, most have more mouth than brain, many are too lazy to read wide.

Also the web link says Algeria has broken the rule of no military force abroad many times, and its a NATO international seminar of experts paper I quoted above, I believe them more than you.

"Second problem is continuation of formal adherence to principle of non-intervention when, in practice, it has been breached. There are numerous instances of Algerian military intervention, as when Houari Boumedienne sent troops to Egypt to defend Nasser regime in 1967 and again in 1973. Algerian troops helped to protect West Saharans who fled advancing Moroccan troops in Western Sahara in 1975-1976. Algerian troops have intervened in Tunisia since 2011, with the full agreement of Tunisian political and military leaders, in an effort to combat radical Islamic groups. Algerian troops also intervened in Mali and Libya to protect Algeria’s borders. Algerian forces directly intervened in Libya, awash with weapons since the fall of the Gaddafi regime, following a terrorist attack on the gas field of Tigentourine at In Amenas."

Common sense is not common, especially in this part of the world, just saying our country should be proactive, you will see 20 people shouting no need, that problems will never reach our side! You be God to predict the years coming ahead? Only a fool assumes the future will always bring peace.

ugo4u:
Bros no matter all the epistle you type, you can't convince me that Algeria to Nigeria is 4 hours on road even if you're using a Ferrari you can't achieve that feat talkmore of moving military heavies in a convoy to attack another country you ain't sharing borders with, it sounds ridiculous na? we ain't talking about air ooo

Bros what will I gain convincing you? I write my facts, I leave you to enjoy ego and ignorance if you choose. Proving points on Nairaland wont increase my monthly salary, its a waste of time.

So all of you cannot google distance calculator and do technical map reading? Distance never depend on who argues better, its geography existing on ground that you and me cannot change.

Algeria to Nigeria shortest distance is border town Niger Republic Assamakka to Birnin Konni, north to south straight line, it's land elevation, vegetation, and topography map shows flat land terrain semi-desert, not heavy sand desert or mountains and rocks that you all imagine in your heads, also there is government paved good road from Assamakka to Birnin Konni for half of the way.

Google Distance Calculator; proves from border Nigeria to border Algeria at shortest point is max 550 km.

Algerian tigr amoured vehicles has speed 140 kmh, with kornet atgm it can destroy anything in Nigerian army. At that speed it takes only 4 hours do reach Nigeria non-stop short 4 hour drive, or why should they stop when no natural barrier exists on that shortest route? I chose to use the max speed, safe way threat is assessed, you look at max capability of opponents, you dont underestimate.

Things dont become impossible because one million people imagine it cant be done. If you tell Nigerians in 1940 that America will land go to space, land a man on the moon, and come back to our planet, Nigerians will say impossible, no man leaves this world and comes back alive, the hot sun will roast him, or he gets lost in space.

It's the reason we cannot build a great country for almost 60 years now, while others nations find it easy.

The pic below is the Niger desert that you all imagine is a hell way impossible to travel full of obstacle crossings that you all created there

blacKDalia:
Lol. Slow your role brother, Algeria vs Nigeria? No any foreign intervention assuming given clean passage through Niger. Still I tell you it's going to be a big logistical nightmare to them. If they amass at our border for how long can they sustain the intensity. I'm also of the opinion that the Nigerian army is not as it use to be but can the Algerian army project its war machine over a very long distance and sustain it? Logistics, logistics bro. I have a big doubt on that.

Nobody said Algeria is coming tomorrow, we are talking of possibility, fact remains that Algerian light utility armoured vehicles need only 4 hours to reach Nigeria, Algerian tanks and ifvs need only 8 hours to reach Nigeria. The wont mass at border, they will roll over us like Germany rolled over France because of wide gap in superiority.

Why cant they sustain 1 hour flight from border to border with their plenty c-130 and ilyushi 76 air cargo transport?

How did Boko Haram sustain war tempo on Nigeria for 6 years without any air force c-130?

If Nigeria cannot do things, does not mean other countries too will fumble, Algeria has more than enough to wreck havoc on us.

Xbee007:
I swear I can never all this stupid argument about Nigeria vs ...

You're killing the thread!

Its a discussion thread, you too sometimes post comments people dont want to read but they leave you to use your own space on free web. Any discuss you dont like just skip it and post your own, if people find your comment interesting they will join. Habit of forcing people to post only topics you personally want is a stupid mentality in a modern world of free speech.

blacKDalia:
Oga calm down your blood dey too rush. You think it's easy to project power abi? Ask the USA, one country that's first among equals militarily. Do you know how long it took them to move from Kuwait border to Baghdad? Just logistics and resupply is a big nightmare. You think to move fully equipped heavy armoured division na joke, ask the Soviet Union when they invaded Afghanistan, passing through that desert no be moi moi o! And then when it begins we can also go the way of viet cong

Did I say it will be easy for Algeria? They will bastardize Nigerian army for sure, but they don't need to have a clear win or get us to surrender.

The problem is our military collapse means we our economy will collapse, foreign investors will leave, bad image for us world over.

USA didn't defeat Vietnam because Vietnam is a communist nation that sold their souls to USSR and China and received massive weapons supply for free, enough weapons to force USA to stalemate.

If Vietnam had not adopted communism, destroy all churches and mosques (which Nigeria cannot do) USSR China Korea will not have supplied billions of dollars worth of weapons for free. Who will dash Nigeria 200 fighter jets and 1,000 tanks against Invaders?

Iraq had no support like Vietnam and the one million man army with thousands of tanks surrendered to USA. Yes, when your enemy beats you and the blood from your nose fills a bottle of beer, you will surrender to stay alive.

USA could not defeat Afghanistan, but USA used that invasion to cripple Afghan economy to bottom of the gutter, no foreign investors wants to invest in Afghanistan where blood flows like water.

That's what war does when you cannot match your attacker, Algeria will not colonize Nigeria, their invasion and upper hand will crush our economy, foreign investors will leave a country that cannot protect itself talk less of saving foreigners.

Problem with you guys here is all of you except 2 or 3 guys, you all cannot see an issue from a bigger picture, you have narrow point of view, and you don't google things up, then you mostly believe you know what you don't know, you just scratch things on surface and argue blindly, never accepting you are wrong even when clearly proved wrong.

Reason I don't hang around here wasting my time, I only come when I want to play with internet from website to website till I get busy with more reasonable things

Texman21:
mr liar thats a russian iskander in the pic show us algerias own,if you are thinking nigeria doesnt have attack missiles you must be delusional

Fool, ask the Algerian guy here whether his country has iskander ballistic missile or not. Then ask bidexiii which ballistic missile Nigerian army has to counter an iskander.

This forum is full of fools and a bloody waste of time. This one can't even google Algerian army list of equipment and see list of their weapons.

Anybody hanging out here too often his wasting his life away. Bidexiii can vex all he wants, that's the truth and his anger does not change facts

Nigerians hate the truth and it reflects on the horrible conditions of our country. Everybody thinks he is a small god nobody must say what he does not like. Messed up nation!

SLBMS:
Mr Supreme Court, stop saying crap please. The effect of endemic corruption and inefficiency against an undefined, unseen and unconventional enemy will be less pronounced in a conventional battle space. The Nigerian army, like the Russian army, like the U.S Army is built and trained to fight clearly defined foe, a conventional enemy. Counter intelligence doctrine was created less than a decade ago. The fate that the Soviets in A-STAN Or the Americans in Vietcong or Kenyans or any other group battling insurgency will be non-existent against an outright invading army.

The Nigerian army may have a history of corruption but there is nothing brave and special about terrorists attacking soft targets of opportunity, old defenceless men and women, market women, public gatherings etc. There is nothing regall in hit and run attacks or waiting for weak spots to attack and flee just to create spectacular carnage and make headlines.

Less than %30 of Nigeria's military might is employed against Boko Haram because the vast arsenal of Nigeria's artillery forces and amoured forces are useless against Boko Haram in urban areas and certainly in the vast featureless plains of the North East. Nigeria signed th convention banning the use of cluster munitions...but Boko Haram stormed a weakly defended NAF armoury, kidnapped women and made away with beluga cluster munitions. These munitions were strapped on teenage girls and used against civilian targets. Anyone who thinks terrorists groups are brave rather than cowardly bastards needs to have his head examined.

This is what Hank Cohen had to say about the Nigerian army. He said it. Not me.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKSpfh3T6AI

You don't even understand your own video source, Cohen said only Nigeria has decent air force to fly super tucano compared to Nigér Cameroon Chad. He never mentioned Nigerian army that we are discussing now. Then is it f-7 or Cohen's tucano NAF will decently fly to fight Algerian su-30 flanker? NAF cannot even face Chad's mig-29 jets.

Stop arguing emotionally, I put my patriotism under control when danger needs to be called danger.

Nigeria cannot beat Algeria with artillery because Algerian army has many ground to ground iskander ballistic missiles that fly 7 times longer distance than all your 1980 artilleries. They will level NA and our soldiers won't even be seeing them.

SLBMS:
Again you are saying rubbish.

It's rubbish as long as your son is not the one BHT beheaded like pilot Hedema.

We Nigerians are wicked heartless people, we southerners don't care because it's northern civilians daily killed, räped, brutalized, robbed.

Our elite and powerful don't care because it's poor people dying in North East losing farms, jobs, businesses, arms and legs.

If Boko Haram captures 100 teenage daughters of 100 senators and governors, and turn them to sex slaves, will Nigeria not be declared as under big threat to buy correct weapons, improve our tactics, retrain all our soldiers to modern skills like Algeria has done?

Nigeria has failed those Yobe, Borno, Adamawa people, their lives and bodies are ruined for ever.

A cruel country where nobody cares as long as the suffering is not touching him or his immediate family. Very wicked human beings we are.

Sizzorkay:
Lord, if that same bh fought Nigerian military in a conventional war, BH menace would have been over within weeks. To compare BH run and hide attacks to conventional war is lunacy.
And no, Algeria won't defeat Nigeria inside Nigeria, it will be a bloody affair. Remember, war doesn't start without cause, so if Nigeria have Algeria as a natural enemy that could attack at any given moment, Nigeria would have prepared for that.( yes one shouldn't wait until there is a threat, i get that)
Algeria have potential enemies, and theirs are capable, that's why they are constantly arming up.
It takes time for wars to start, one country you have no issues with won't just wake up one morning and drive into your territory and start killing, for what.
And again, comparing state actors to non-state actors, BH are terrorists, criminals, why would they ask for permission to commit crimes.

Nobody is saying Algeria will invade Nigeria, but nobody can say it can never happen in future.

Nigerian army pride and people boasting will not stop Algeria defeating us. When your soldiers see t-90 tank they will run away and abandon base, soldiers that run from anti-aircraft mounted Toyota.

Mouth, muscle, bold face does not win war. Countries stronger than us have surrendered in defeat to superior enemy.

If BHT can defeat Nigeria inside Nigeria, 60 times in 60 towns, then Algeria can damage is even more.

Boko Haram attacks on Nigeria that made them occupy 60 towns for like one year is actually a brief change from guerilla war to conventional war, reason why BHT could not sustain it. Nigeria decided to import new tanks and flush out BHT. You also forgot Boko Haram has no air force, so NAF destroyed half of BHT on ground from air with thousands of bombs before NA moved to clear the remnants.

That 2014 showed that Nigerian army is also weak in conventional war when Boko Haram was boldly holding land big as Belgium, not hit and run tactics anymore, they stood on our land and openly ruled as an independent caliphate, yet Nigerian army could do nothing, all our counter-attacks we're repelled.

You guys have all forgotten recent 2014 BHT events we all saw here with koro koro eyes here! Nigerians were so ashamed everybody was insulting the army for failure.

Algeria has air force, they can sustain conventional war, if they capture 60 towns with t-90, is it t-72 that we will use to flush them out?

Wars happen suddenly, Arabs don't give Israel notice, Russia just annexed Ukraine without warning to shock Europe.

In Nigeria, we think nation building is easy, and all our problems are easy to solve, that's why our nation is full of hunger, poverty, chaos, armed men rampaging in all 6 geopolitical zones, blood flowing everywhere in Nigeria, and we still say we have less threat compared to Algeria! This nation is blind!

It's folly to say Algeria is arming up because of bigger threat in their region, threat is threat, has Nigeria defeated our own smaller threat for which we foolishly believe we don't need weapons like Algeria?

Nigeria is now listed among top 5 most terrorized countries in the world along with Somalia Afghanistan Syria, and we say we have no big threat like Algeria? Do you find Algeria listed as war ravaged country in same category with Somalia?

It's unfortunate we Nigerians cannot define our problems, no wonder we cannot solve them since 1967.

Threat is threat, Boko Haram war killed over 30,000 civilians and 1,000 soldiers/police, destroyed over =N= 900 billion economic properties, and yet our government and people still say we have a smaller threat than Algeria.

So until bandits, Boko terrorists, herdsmen, Delta militants, ISWAP insurgents kill one million Nigerians including 100 senators and governors, then we will all agree we have big threat that requires at least one quarter of Algerian weapons?

rka2:
Long established problems. If the NAF & NN to an extent , can re-strategise, why not the NA? It isn't just restricted to the military, but many facets of Nigerian life. Unless Abuja is threatened directly again, the political class will not budge.
Most of them are too militarily illiterate to understand the vast amount of money needed to train and equip the security forces.

I am beginning to think the USA was right back in the nineties when they wanted the NA reduced in size and better trained. We would have had a more efficient, mobile and better equipped force rather than the cumbersome, ill equipped and underfunded neanderthal force.

Its true our political class is militarily illiterate, but we had a overseas trained brigadier general Mark senate president 8 years, Bankole 8 years speaker house of reps is British army artillery officer, president 8 years Buhari is American trained armoured corps general, Nigerians just dont know how to make our country work. We pay army salary monthly, they should up their game, but when major general goes on TV to show one rifle as reason for needing $1 billion cash, you wonder how our army presents its list of needs to politicians. We just have no problem solvers leading Nigeria at all levels, we handed over our nation to mediocrity, we all will suffer for it.

nairaland war analyst


Too much of video games and Hollywood movies has reconfigured ur brain

That looks like war analysis to you? It's just re-writing Boko Haram events of 2014, common public knowledge. Many of you here do nothing than start meaningless fights, and when your side loses, you say the winner is derailing forum off topic. Anyway, not everybody knows why 2 + 2 = 4 not 22

Toju200:
Algeria and Nigeria going into war hmmm its going to be tough not going to be easy for both countries to come out victorious. Cos one country has advantage over the other in some kind of way never under estimate some countries o.just like Yemen and Saudi war.many thought Saudi would sink Yemen in Months and they would surrender. But no Yemen began bringing down Saudi jets and sank a Jordan warship with ballistic missile.they began hitting Saudi bases with ballistic missile and rockets

How difficult was it for Boko Haram to make our soldiers run away as they uproot Nigerian army bases, enter NAF base destroy jets and helicopter gunship, capture army barracks and loot our armouries, take over our tanks and use them against us, capture 60 towns and establish caliphate government on land size big as Belgium collecting taxes from Nigerians? We forget so soon? The price we paid for beating our chest proudly with our obsolete weapons? Pride goes before a fall.

Anybody saying one country will never fight another is a fool claiming to be God that knows the future. Algeria fought big war vs its fellow Islamic brother Morocco, they killed one another brutally like cow for suya. You dont fear a man that can kill his own brother?

Algeria vs Nigeria, they are only 4 hours by straight land speed drive to Nigeria on shortest border line to border line, speed and type of vehicle determines time across open lands with no natural barrier to stop them. Algeria needs no permission from Niger Republic to cross their open desert or did Boko Haram get transit visa from Niger and Chad to drive those hundreds of anti-aircraft toyota technicals from Libya to Borno?

Nigeria will fight back and try not to lose, but we will sustain initial very very very heavy army casualties, all our current junk tanks and all armoured vehicles will be destroyed, we will beg for foreign help in disgrace, and then re-arm, then try win back our lost territory. The wide gap between weapons of Algerian army and Nigerian army is too wide a gap, too dangerously wide, thats what we are saying. Our leaders are not wise does not make we followers fools, its a matter of who has privilege to occupy positions of authority in Nigeria.

I just re-wrote what ordinary Boko Haram did to Nigerian army 2014, anybody who says Algeria is weaker than Boko Haram is a fool, a super-fool

ugo4u:
lol!!! I think say na only me see am, maybe he's just being sarcastic. We don't share border with them it will take almost 3days or more to get to the nearest Nigerian boarder from Algeria.

Who told you all land wars only happen between countries sharing common land borders? UAE army invaded and still occupies Yemen today, with the peak invasion force of more than 200 leclarec tank, bmp-3 ifv, rhino g-6 artilleries, mraps etc, battalions of soldiers, elite troops, UAE has no land border with Yemen at all, but moved a whole mechanized army there with speed of lions. Land distance between UAE and Yemen is about same as land distance between Algeria and Nigeria.

So, you need to beg me and say sorry for yabbing over the bar, and I will gladly forgive you. Nobody is perfect, but I always cross check my facts before I post comment, and most of you guys here do not do that, you shoot first, and later see the target is not the bushmeat you assumed carelessly. Anyway I forgive you bro, go and sin no more

What UAE is doing in Yemen today, is big warning lesson to Nigerian military and civilian leaders who make foolish assumptions that the only threat to Nigeria forever are weak countries like Cameroon Chad we share common land borders with, to think smart is strange to our country.

giles14:
four hours road drive? Algeria to Nigeria khmmmm

I dont understand you bros, is Algerian army not 4 hours road drive away from Nigerian territory? We all are human, nobody is above correction, but I don't post comments without cross checking my facts first, I no dey compete with some people here fooling themselves about imaginary title of 'regular forum contributor' that will not put food on my table for the time spent online Oya bros tell me wetin I talk that is not a fact about Algeria road time to Nigeria.
