IAMGEJ: Stand for the front make dem fire am, you go know wetin e monstrous to

From your postulation, it stands to reason that this will win us this war outrightly

Holywizard: God punish USA & bless Russia. USA keeps funding terrorists to destabilize other country's economies & to enrich themselves. Am sure dat tank is from Libya.

You learned this intriguing fact from NairaLand?

That picture is not a tank thou

arantess: lol....civilians call this tank but military call it AFV

Bro, even in military circles, both terms are used interchangeably.

Muzikluva:
I wonder ooi»»but as they say,don't judge a book by its cover.

Yeah

Dominiquez: Am so surprised APC never acknowledged the recent victories of our army.

It seems that what we are told is true.

they will never acknoledge the effort of our military becouse if they do, the President who is in the opposition (PDP) is going to take the glory. They are only good at criticizing.

[size=18pt]Boko Haram had such "MONSTROUS" tanks and the Nigerian military could not see them since 2013 until now?
And they were searching for Shekau?
Who is fooling whom?[/size]

LegatusGlaber: Kudos to the military.


But what is monstrous about this tank?

Abeg help me ask dem o. I dey expect to see sumting like wat was used in avatar, giant giant dinasur tanks,una come dey show us regular tank wey even small pikin know sef. Mtschewwwww
But well done boys. Victory is from God.

Madawaki01: What's wrong with all these newspapers??stop calling them islamist,if u keep calling them that,u're boosting their morale,they will only continue thinking they are fighting for islam,they don't,they are nothing but terrorists..

Tell em bro!
There aint nothing Islamic bout this ppl!
If they are fighting 4 any religion, it must be CHRISTIANITY....Ax Bling bling Fella

LegatusGlaber:

Bro, even in military circles, both terms are used interchangeably.

No sir. Even our military is split into Corps with distinct equipment. That is an infantry (trad. green berets) support vehicle. Tanks are the exclusive preserve of the armoured corps - what the Americans call the cavalry (trad. black berets) made famous by one of its sons - IBB. They have not been deployed in this conflict to the best of my knowlege.

LMAO...Monstrous indeed. Good job, NA. But this is not even close a main battle tank in size.

And do you know what next is coming over the border from Chad. The military has no mandate outside our borders for now so it is not their fault. Ask the NIA what they are being paid for.

Pls i'm interested in joining the NA oh.

so many long sermon on ths thread because of ths tank.but make we thank God because everyday in ,everyway d naija armies r getting better n better.happy sundar pals

So, you are calling this a support vehicle?

WHERE DID THEY GET THIS OR DO THEY MANUFACTURE IT FROM THEIR BASE? GOD SHALL SURELY LIBERATE NIGERIA

NIGERIA MUST DO EVERYTHING TO STOP ALL THIS TO AVIOD MORE TO HAPPEN IN THE NEAREST FUTURE..........................BECAUSE WE MUST LEAVE A GOOD LEGACY FOR OUR FUTURE KIDS.

AFAIC, cavalry should be seperated from armour. Cavalry should be for fast-moving vehicles like MRAPs, APCs, and other IFVs alone. I feel that in guerrilla warfare, how fast you can counter-attack determines the outcome of most skirmishes. The main battle tanks NA has are just too slow and archaic to get the job done.

Amored personnel carier: (APC)

More of these victories surely coming the ways of our troops carrying out the detailed orders of the c-in-c, PGEJ.........
We shall continously pray for their safe return from the battle front after concluding their tour of duty to reclaim & establish sanity in the NE sector of our nation...............

THIS IS DESERT CAMOU this should be from one of the middle east or north African countries.

what is monstrous about the armoured tank, the Nigerian Army have bigger & better ones.

ocelot2006:

That is NOT the T-55, but the ERC-90. And all these armoured vehicles are captured NA vehicles.

Tell them.

Firefire: Allahu Akbar


Thank you Jesus

the second is a subject to the FIRST.

OrlandoOwoh:
I've never heard of Boko Haram acquiring or getting armoured tanks from north Africa. The tanks they boast of are the ones seized from our soldiers.

I don't think so bro. The one siezed were recovered earlier, I think. Majority of gadaffi's weapons were scattered after he fell. So they might find their ways to poros borders. And you can see that the one they later captured that has boko Haram logo and symbols from the leaders are not designed and painted in the bush. Those guys mean business o.

Madawaki01: What's wrong with all these newspapers??stop calling them islamist,if u keep calling them that,u're boosting their morale,they will only continue thinking they are fighting for islam,they don't,they are nothing but terrorists..

what is the different between islam and terrorism. The truth is that, you separate islam from terrorism all over the world. Infact islam itself is a violent and rebelious religion. Do your research well.

Omg

Handsomeemmy:
The Tank look like an ERC 90 Sagaie not T55
Everything about that Tank is monstrous,the fire power of that Tank alone is something else, Boko haram are indeed armed with sophisticated Weapon,I know the get most of their weapons as a result of the Civil war in Libya and the then Crisis in Mali.

Some of her function

ERC 90 can be armed with a 90mm F1/F4 canon or Cockerill Mk3 90mm low pressure gun depending upon the turret configuration. Lynx carries 21 rounds of 90mm ammunition and Sagaie carries 20 rounds of ammunition for main gun.
A coaxial 7.62mm machine gun serves as a secondary weapon for the vehicle. The vehicle is also fitted with four smoke grenade launchers.
Self-protection and armour

The vehicle protects the occupants from small arms fire, shell splinters and mines. The V-shaped welded steel structure on the bottom deflects the force of bomb blasts and protects the floor against damage from mines.
The ERC 90 NG features advanced armour protection suitable for present operational requirements. The vehicle is fitted with strengthened armour offering STANAG 4569 level 3 protection over the frontal arc and level 2 protection over other parts of the vehicle.
Engine power

ERC 90 is powered by 170hp MTU diesel engine replacing the older Peugeot V-6 petrol engine. The engine, coupled with an automatic Renk gearbox, delivers a maximum power of 125kW at 2,300rpm. The vehicle has a maximum speed of 95km/h and a range of 800km.
Mobility of the ERC 90 family of vehicles

ERC 90 can be deployed in almost all external operations.
"ERC 90 is a family of 6x6 wheeled armoured vehicles."
It demonstrates superior all-terrain capabilities and has an option to raise the centre pair of wheels to negotiate with different terrain types.
The vehicle is fully amphibious without preparation and is propelled in the water by rear mounted waterjets. ERC 90 is airportable by Transall C-160 and Hercules C-130 aircraft.
