Frumentius does Denel produce anything similar to this? If we can't get them from USA at least we can get from somewhere else.

No they don't. Do like our SF and get them off the back of a truck .

no... it's a pitot tube and not a refuelling probe.

Pic 1&2: BH propaganda footage of drone footage
Pic 3,4: the yellow dump truck

Its seems that the current war in the N.E is being fought by just one Nigerian task force* as these two yellow trucks just keep popping up over and over.

Further... if indeed it is just this one NA task force that is "on the money" then things dont bode well for that Shilka, of the M2 variant, (last pic), as I am pretty sure the latest BH propaganda footage includes images of a knocked out Shilka M2 (most Nigerian Shilka still have radar dishes, thus the M2 is somewhat of an oddity in Nigerian service - likely having its radar-dish removed for the war in the N.E).

*or just one task force is actually close to a major BH element

it seems the reason they in cooperated the drone footage, its because the quad copter was eventually shotdown during the clashes (which we saw a boko haram member showing us ,which was destroyed)thus boko haram realized their secret was finally known,had no option but showing their new capability to spy on nigeria troops from above .the question now is how long have they had this capability and what is the nigeria military going to do to counter this new threat ?

As for the yellow truck; the NA has plenty of them. I have a picture where 8 of them a packed together, I can't just find it in my archive.

The ground station at the rear. That's the ch3 but why is it not at maiduguri?

tdayof:


You can see smoke coming out from where the Mi-17 in the video landed. So probably that's another helo. Bidexii

Below, f-7 undergoing 100Hrs inspection. They're expected to be in maiduguri soon.

Everything is even confusing me sef ......... may be it's other MI17 that is covered..........

I have a sick feeling about this, somebody somewhere doesn't understand the importance of that piece of asset. It's just for dress shows.

It wasn't shot down, that's a Phantom 3 it has a detachable camera gimbal (in his/her hands).

thats was a bomb dropped by the jet,we see it orbiting around the vicinity before an explosion is seen from a distance

Is this dude a she? Or my glasses needs thicker glasses?

History was made today, Wednesday, January 17 as two female officers were winged by the Nigerian Air Force HQ after embarking on a one-year training programme in Westline Aviation in South Africa where they qualified as pilots.

They are Flying Officers OS Ijelu and GC Nwaogwgwu. They were winged alongside 9 other male flying officers in a ceremony which a former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Paul Dike (rtd) was the guest of honour

I have an eye for such things; that looks like a she...slender waist, broad hips.

if it wasn't shot down ,so what is that !?

newafricaken254:

Notice the part that was "removed" is now attached to the drone? That's the camera gimbal. The highlighted part can be anything from a duct tape to a break...a bullet will shred that drone to recognisable pieces no just make a fine "hole" like that.

I have gone over the video again and agree that it is a hole but where is the entrance. I couldn't find one and will partially accept the shot down drone theory.

show me photo and perhaps video of a drone shot in recognisable pieces by a single bullet

Speaking of mortars reminds me of a incident which unfolded last year during the conflict between kalaripayattu versus kungfu

the army found out to their dismay that deploying a 120mm mortar up the mountains from the base camp required 9 hours plus 12 men ie dissembling it packing it on mule trains and then trudging along non existent paths up the mountains then unloading it and then assembling it.

So somebody took a Royal Enfield 350cc bike modified it by adding 2 wheels at the rear and adding a hook for locking in the eye of the 120mm mortar .

Now it takes only 1 hour instead of 9 to travel the same distance and set up the mortar with the usual mortar crew of 5 men's.

Now in all high altitude nonmotorable areas man pack/mule pack has been replaced by this contraption at the price of 100 dollars (per modification)

This is doable in the plains too with another vehicle with the ammo, if the going gets tough simply hook up the mortar and run to fight another day.

^^^^^
Ingenious!

I'm not a YouTuber but I'll look around remember seeing one shot done by the Pershmaga

Nice one nemesis4u

I am curious r the guys deployed in the north regular conventional troops or r they all specializing in CI/CT.

Do u have specialized institutions for conversion of regular troops for CI/CT before deployment into the operation areas.

Most of them of av undergone CI/CT in TRADOC Niger state but it has been moved recently to Buniyaji in Yobe State.

Take a close look at Late Col Abu Ali in this Picture. Standing next to him is Lt Col Abdulsalam AKA Kutus.

Abu Ali spent the last 4 Years of his life doing just two things, Fighting from one front line to the other just so we can sleep in peace and Praying while he Fought.

Take a look at the picture Col. abu is in the scorching sun of the Maiduguri, sipping on pure water and paying attention to the radio message.

Almost all pictures that came out of him, he was seen in this Armoured personal regalia, and in some pictures you could even see how dusty his hair was, how rugged the situation was.

The last four years of his life was full of tactical maneuvers, consistent calculations on how to counter and defeat the enemy. It was a battle front all the way through, he had little or no sleep, he was away from his family for most of the years, yet he kept going and going believing in himself and God Almighty that he would someday emerge victorious.

And I tell you, he was indeed victorious. He emerged a hero and stood out amongst the best.

Today, the whole Country and indeed the world would remember Slim as a hero of our time, the greatest tank commander in recent times and like soldiers refers to him as Nigeria's best friend.

Thank you Slim. You made a mark. You would forever remain close to our hearts as we would continue to pray for you.
RIP Brother

Rest on Gallant Soldier
You are greatly Missed.
