do you have an actual photo of a dog and its handler in actual counter insurgency operation ?

Patchesagain:
Since we are talking food - SANDF "rat pack" (feild rations)

Note that each meal has a day-number on it. This is because the meals are designed to help soldiers maintain a healthy and high calorie diet in the feild, so specific meals must be eaten on specific days.

Although, they are not perfect... one of the favorit "war stories" my father likes to tell is how the only casualty his unit suffered while deployed "on the border" was an unlucky troepie who cracked one of his teeth on a particularly hard toffee.

What is it with you trying to belittle the Nigeria Army or any african army for that matter?

The Nigeria army has been using war dogs in counterinsurgency for donkey years

Both in raids on boko haram and ansaru sites in sokoto, zaria which netted HVTs. And even in the niger delta insurgencies

Even the navy SBS has used war dogs in niger delta ops

Oga henry has shown you pictures of an SBS war dog yet you are still arguing

Nigeria armed forces has been on COIN mode for more than 10 years. S/leone, liberia, mali, darfur, bakassi, niger delta, Northeast and you are all of a sudden claiming that it doesn't use war dogs in COIN and the North East?

This is inconceivable and utter bladderdash

Under COAS ihejirika, the war dog section for boko haram existed as of 2012

In 2014 alone, i know COAS- minimmah deployed 20 war dogs against boko haram

All these propaganda against the Nigerian army has to end someday

Google is your friend, try and use it...

rugged7:
So if u don't see a picture that means it doesn't exist.

You see how myopic some of you are on this thread?

Oga, abeg, wake up that part of your brain responsible for critical analysis...

Under the regime of herinjika he commissioned the 1st AH K9 in Lagos (Barracks bust top command ipaja),State and I was there in person . Then the 2nd one in Abuja by minimah. Two dedicated dogs Brigade of the NA. I can't say for the airforce or navy.

bidexiii:
From the video of the Cameroonian B.I.R I just watched and downloaded, I must say at these junction that those guys are well geared and elite, despite the harsh weather of there operations.

And again why is it that the Nigerian armed forces dosent get much support from the United States except for sanctions.

Not exactly sky diving with dogs but from june 2013 KDF has been gradually intergrating combat dogs in the field.

There is even a 4min video done by NTV called women in the military where the show the first ever canine regiment in kdf. the officer talks about how its costly/painful when they loose a dog in combat

that photo is from the west gate terror.i love to see both the police and General service units incorporate dogs especially in the north east and lamu in their war against alshabaab. in vehicle searches,during raids and road side IED's.i haven't also seen AMISOM utilise dogs more broadly.mostly i have seen them used in searches at the somali president residence or state junction

Henry240:


Shows "interest in", doesn't equal "orders". I wonder how it is a casualty.


A political criminalisation doesn't equal an arms theft scandal.


Did you or your office allocate the money for the ATAK helicopter, and can you provide evidence that money for the T-129 ATAK helo was allocated and siphoned?

The current COAS Buratai, was incharge of Army procurements at Army HQ for 4years under GEJ.



Like i said previously don't taint the thread with spurious claims of fairy-tale allegations. Let the courts prove who is guilty or not.

That sign is common in Nigeria. Even households place them in front of their houses it's no big deal

lionel4power:


oga henry im really dismal and surprised by your words. I didnt write the numerous online articles about Nigeria's interest on the turkish chopper and your rash reply suggest that you are dumping the blame on me.
.
it was all over the media that Nigeria was interested In the T 129, we all supported the move, we even defended the said move on the 'strongest country in Africa' thread. some even went as far as to compare the T 129 with the SA rooivalk.
.
.
although interest in an object doesn't equate order for that object... but I was only commenting base on the report I got from the internet and beeg's blog who even started a whole thread for it.
.
.
now Nigeria didn't purchase the chopper due to 'unknown reasons'.
.
yet we have an ongoing investigation in an arms scandal which dasuki is at the center of it all. however #dasukigate is the ONLY arms theft scandal presently ongoing nigeria hence I added 1 + 1 together.
.
.
news flash henry; year 2016 april no T 129, no chopper, no money for it and someone is in jail for stealing money for weapon purchase who do you expect me to point

I can see the scorpion, samaritan and the Vickers

The refurbished light and heavy tanks cum the uniformity (not seen this level of uniformity in a long time) is very commendable
