Is it that Boko Haram miltants suddenly turn into bats and birds during fighting because I dont see what explains d need to buy an outdated anti-aircraft gun.

Buying soviet-era weaponry cant take us far. We need game-changing sophisticated weapons to deal dis terrorists a fatal blow.
Take a look at Syria with a shitload of old soviet jets....they still cant effectively take on d rebels like Israel wuld do.

Anything other than American F-15/16 fighter jets with significant upgrade by Israel is just a waste of resources.

Seeing is beliving

Our military alway media stunting...intelligence zero!.
Not to buy jet which will be flown by a foriegner o. My take is for the army to stop coming to the media until the battle is won. Period.
Another news go still comot...BH boys still mount flag for Gwoza.

Could this be true?

and the NAF wiil deploy this machinery to the war front without previous handling or knowledge of it? I'm smelling jackshit

Chai Nigeria don suffer!!
So we didn't have fighter get before now. What about the one that mis-fired to a civilian area in Port Harcourt sometime last year? We must now clap for gej admin for buying fighter jets to combat boko haram. Meanwhile how many fighter jets has cameroon deployed to keep boko haram at bay?

Hope this helps to deplete the capability of those marauding bloodsuckers!!

Goodspeed Khaki Boys!!

Obinoscopy: Assuming that the reporters were right about the purchase of Shilka weapon, my innocent question is this:

Why would the military purchase anti-aircraft weapons for the purpose of this Boko Haram war? Don't they know that Boko Haram are ground fighters and not air fighters? Or do they want to give lose it to Boko Haram during one the numerous insurgency attacks on military base and then expose our airforce combatants to danger?

Maybe you're right, our reporters don't know what they are saying.

I brought up the same question when i saw it on the front line from another thread. But i learnt that the guns can be elevated horizontally to change the trajectory

It is a cold war relic! and there is nothing modern but can be effective

I hope the new fighter jets are not china made, cos d last time I checked, the chinese F-7 NAF procured are unstable and NAF 'd lost 3 of it to either some mechanical malfunction or lack of sufficient technical know how on the part of the operatives, which ofcourse went down during simulation flight trainings.

Bastard liers. I hate it when I see this kinda lie on social media. I am a jet pilot n there is nothing like that.

Money meant for embezzlement or national cake re spent on this rats

whizjay:

After a the long series of terrorist attacks....
Naija finally Buys a Dozen fighter jets..

*Claps slowly*

Please don't clap yet, because the jet could be seized by BH guys from our force men as usual.

Hope these equipment (including fighter jets ) will not be carted away like the one we saw in shekau's video.

call of duty: modern warfare

Is this ones soldiers?!, dey sudn't disclose der info until it is been executed now!......sum tin is fishy here

Boko haram is already aware of this.

if you turn the gun's turret to an horizontal position and fire, no matter how ''rambo-ish'' you are, even at a distance of 2km, the enemy would be turned into shreds.

google the term ''technical'' and you will understand that anti-aircraft is just a name...boko haram has been deploying same strategy ever since...thats why they can ambush our guys and tear them into shreds from 2 kilometres away...the range of an AK47 is around 300 metres...men are been killed by an unseen enemy...our hiluxes shattered like wet tissue paper.

now we are deploying same tactic...spray them from afar with our shilka "Baygon"" and we watch them die like the roaches which they are

ebolablast: we already know who is sponsoring d terrorist.. Australian Negotiator Insists Modu Sheriff,Ihejirika Are BokoHaram Sponsors
http:///HhNd

No stranger can tell our story better than us. I'm very sure you know the australian man is not saying the truth. Bokoharam are sponsored by northern muslims who want to rule this nation by force.

Clowns , those 12 jets better be sukoys. None of these finish trainer aircraft fitted as combat fighters/bombers.

Why not A10 thunderbolts , and what happened to the 13 Sepcat Jaguars we got in 1983?

Once that gun is placed horizontal, it becomes a deadly ground weapon

It was reliably gathered that most of the weapons being
used by the terrorists were those collected from various
police stations which were attacked by the insurgents.

see lie

can you show us evident of you being a jet pilot?

News like this just makes me sigh.

d last time I checked,modu sheriff is a northerner and also was once born state governor.. bu***i is part of dem I know

Anything other than SU-35s is rubbish.
If we were serious about our sovereignty,we should have gotten atleast a 100 of those in the NAF by now.
Nigerian leaders and the military egg-heads from 1999 till date need to be hanged for treason.

HAUSA PEOPLE WILL NOT BE HAPPY TO HEAR THIS...........................SULTAN OF SOKOTO WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE KILLING THE MUSLIMS...

AK47 range is 300m and shilkan should be BTW 2km - 3.5km
