How can you be on a history board when you can't even read a picture that the entire consent fits into like a 15-20 at most pages?

High mobility even when you're dealing with the worst infrastructure in the world. Terrible at dealing with armor, unless it's badly outdated. Useless against nations with good air forces.

Africa has some of the worst in the world, and what armored formations africans nations field tend to be horribly outdated MBTS mixes with lighter AFVS that are vulnerable to man-portable AT. Nobody has a serious airforce.


Africa is uniquely suited to the use of air-mobile forces and will remain so for quite some time.
