More Humvees in the way: AM General, maker of the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV or Humvee) family of vehicles, is looking at broad flexibility for its platforms and international sales to keep its production line in South Bend, Indiana, running. The company invited Jane’s ...

Some really hideous and ugly attitudes and manners you've got there mister. Algeria was and still a dictatorship, ruled by the military and the FLN, and in such atmosphere, no single free institution can flourish, let alone press. The Algerian press proved over and over its cheap materials and...

There is no single foreign military base on Tunisian soil, American or else. This kind of BS would only be found unfortunately in some Algerian yellow press that for years now been insisting on this fairy non-existent base that is magically hidden from the eyes of Tunisians and everyone else...

Perhaps it has something to do with the NATO mission the Tunisian ministry of defense mentioned earlier?

There's this one as well that personally, I feel quite proud of; the Istiklal ship. Engine aside, everything else in it from electronics down to furniture is made in Tunisia. May not be the best but it's a first try :cheers: There's a second larger type that they're working on currently as...

nice gear :-) I guess the GFS officially stopped using the Steyr AUG and replaced it with M4 variants, I'm hoping they got some sweet FN Scars along the way.

Personally, I think hosting the AFRICOM headquarters or an American base would be a major help for the country and would indeed provide protection for a very long time at least, but there are few things to consider, the popular opinion wouldn't be so comfortable about it unless there's an urgent...

I guess we'll know about it soon enough. There has been a lot of talking about the 2020 purchases, my money remains on the F16 though. It was always the closest, been hearing about it since 2009 and 2010 (there was actually a rumour at the time that they tested it in Sidi Ahmed air base). All...

Read somewhere that its name is rather Multi Service Offshore Patrol Vessel Damen 1400 :p: sorry if the acronym was wrong. the closest and most realistic option so far especially given our relationship with the US and maintenance and flying costs is the F16. HOWEVER, we might be surprised...

Hopefully, but the problem is, building a considerable air and naval force out of what Tunisia currently has would cost a lot of money and a heavy budget that the country can't afford right now. therefore the policy is dealing with the imminent and close future threats first then when the...

Talking about puppies, they've been constantly used lately in Tunisia in counter-terrorism operations in urban areas especially.

What you said is all true basically, I'd just add that they share some resemblance to the French as well

TUNIS (Reuters) - Tunisian security forces have killed a top aide of Abu Musab Abdul Wadud, the leader of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), an official source told Reuters on Saturday. Tunisia has been on high alert since 2015, when Islamic State gunmen killed dozens of foreign tourists in...

it's not really a matter of betrayal. Simply no one wants a Kurdish state in the Middle East to start with, neither Turkey nor Syria, Irak, Iran and even Russia would tolerate it. it just goes against all of their interests, national security and territorial integrity. The only country who'd...

From the same operation

from an ongoing operation (started yesterday and resulted so far in killing the right hand of AQMI leader, an Algerian terrorist, and another leader of the local branch of al-Qaeda who's also Algerian)
