Shilka is the nickname of the ZSU-23-4, a lightly armored, self-propelled, radar guided anti-aircraft weapon system (SPAAG)
It went into service in 1965 and its not modern at all! grin
A fearsome and deadly weapon system!
I believe Nigeria already have it in her armory!



And why are we purchasing Anti-Aircraft Guns to fight ground trrops?

You are outdated on BH war.
BH uses AA guns to kill troops from afar
Shilka will help us kill BH from afar once placed horizontal

You are forgetting something.

A Shilka gun is self propelled. How do you hope to adapt that to ground warfare.

A Shilka gun needs clear line of sight to be able to fire. How can you use a weapon that is not exactly that precise and suited for ground attacks to take out an enemy that majorly uses ambush tactics

Information like this ought to have been classified. But not in Nigeria. It's out there in the open for Boko Haram sympathizers, sponsors and militants to read about; strategize and even acquire superior weapons well in advance to counter whatever weapons our military intend to purchase.

So police have RPG, AA Guns M-16 MPMG in BH's hands? if NPF have these weapons, there wont b any BH in the first place. Remember 6 PMF Maiduguri were wastng them all bfr ALJAZEERA TI NHRC and their sponsors started crying Human Rights. Reporter abeg get ur facts right oo. Lastly its on record, PMF Gwoza was attacked twice bfr BH penetrated; frstly, 08/08/2014 bfr they succeeded 20/08/2014 owing to superior firepower. Na only AK-47 police get ooo.

Denn:

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

No be person go fire am?

The ones way the military dey leave tear race and Boko boys aka Allah boys go collect am.

You're spot on, bro. One million likes for you. I was shocked to see the military still displaying these out dated weapons a couple of years ago. I still remember seeing them on display in the early 80s at Murtala Square in Kaduna!

These self-propelled guns are not even available for buyers anymore. Government is just playing propaganda.

Jets!!

Lol.. You want to fly jets and bomb who now?! How do you bomb targets you cant see?!

They would be better off purchasing Helicopter Gunships than Jets. The cost of flying regular sorties on a military jet is about 3 time the cost per sortie in a Gunship.

I would rather we purchase like 20 MH-6 Little Bird Helos to run sky patrol over the City and Jets like our MIGs to do intercept and precision bombing raids.

Dont mind them. Boko haram has before launched an attack and destroyed the airforce planes being used to bomb them. And they're telling them now that new planes have been acquired. No one should be surprised to hear that boko haram has destroyed the new planes on the ground. That's the reason for disclosing the acquisition, so that another set of planes can be ordered. Contract scams galore! Ha, Nigeria!

Re: Boko Haram: FG Acquires 12 Fighter Jets by mandon: 9:55am On Sep 01, 2014
Permit me to ask these questions. Does it mean that Nigerian airforce does not have any jet fighters at all? Why do they need to buy new jets for boko haram fight? Does this mean that we will also need to buy new jets before we can contain external aggression if any? If this last question is correct, then we are living at the mercy of our neighboring countries.

I say this because should we have external aggression, Nigerians will be wiped off through air assault considering the time it takes to place order for jet fighters and the time of taking delivery.
