The Nigerian government forces will buy Czech tanks,
amphibious vehicles and rocket launchers to fight the militant
Islamist group Boko Haram.
According to Daily Mladá fronta Dnes (MfD), the spokesman of
Excalibur Group, Andrej Čírtek, revealed that the Czech arms dealer
is expected to deliver modernized Soviet-made tanks T-72 M1 and 16
other vehicles, BMP armored infantry fighting vehicles and rocket
launchers to an African country. He said the heavy arms come from sales of redundant equipment of
the armies of the former Warsaw Pact.
Meanwhile, Czech Defense and Security Industry Association head Jiří
Hynek confirmed the destination of the weapons to be Nigeria.
“The tanks had to be delivered quickly so that the Nigerian army had
vehicles to fight with,” Hynek told MfD.
However, it was gathered from an unofficial source that the military
vehicles will be sold for more than $8 million. A huge Antonov
An-225 Mriya transport plane landed in Ostrava, north Moravia, to
carry the arms to Nigeria.
The aircraft which is expected to make three flights to Africa is to
deliver the first part of the equipment within a few days. The world‘s
largest cargo plane will make three trips with tanks and other
armored vehicles. Boko Haram which started its uprising against the Nigerian
government in 2009 was founded in 2002. In 2014, the extremist
sect reportedly killed no fewer than 3,000 people while in the last
five years the it has killed approximately 13,000 people.
The United Nations in a recent repprt puts the number of people
that fled their houses over fears of attack from the sect at 1.5
million.
Meanwhile, new security reports reveal that Boko Haram militants
may be planning a massive attack on Maiduguri, the capital of Borno
State any time soon.
Recall that attempts to recapture Monguno, Borno State , which was
attacked during the weekend by Boko Haram militants was
reportedly unsuccessful.
However, some locals recently corroborated the findings by Amnesty
International that the military command in Monguno had advance
warning of the Boko Haram attacks on 25 January. But the military
headquarters failed to take adequate action to protect civilian http://www.naij.com/376574-nigeria-purchases-czech-weapons-to-fight-boko-haram.html s.

So is will buy? They haven't buy?

i ont believit!!!! campaign criteria!!!

If so, Glory be to God!

No matter what anyone comments about this, the bottom line is that it isn't our business. It wasn't bought with our consent and it isn't ours to use.

No one fighting Boko Haram is here commenting. Hence people should stop fooling themselves by trying to make the weapons purchase (or the lack of it) their business. Those whose comments on this matters are out there in the field.

I beg to disagree. This is the 21st century. It is our business. What you're insinuating equates to nonchalance.

No need to bristle. Would you recognize an M-16 if you saw one?
No? That's because it's not in your line of business. No need acting like you're in your elements there.

Good development.

FLAiR80:

I could tell an M-16A1 apart from an M-16A2. Some people know a lot more than you think. Even when it boils down to nitty-gritty of modern-day warfare. Or even pre-generational warfare.

I'm not in doubt. I know some myself. Still doesn't make you one of those at Baga or Mubi or the likes, fighting the scourge.
Boils down to the same thing. None of our business.

.

Must we tell tom and harry every move to the opponent and of what use?
Or do u think the moment you brags ..Bokos,wil just run away?
How many times has boko made public their killer weapons?
Take it or leave it..Good soldiers/warriors don't make noise but their exploits speaks for them

In Gov Amaechi's voice "I Will" We Will" Our Govt Will" and so on and so forth,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

All these purchases should stop until after election.

Hard to trust these politicians.
