US stopped training Nigerian troops - they only completed the basic phase

Again, you need to break down the numbers into a per capita basis. You are comparing two very different wars.

The US launched 423 drone strikes in Pakistan, killed ~3000 Terrorists and ~500 civilians.

Thats an average of 7 terrorists and 1 civilian per drone strike. Or a 6:1 ratio of Terrorists:Civilians killed.

Number of Russian strikes is not clear, but they have killed 1,141 terrorists and 1,015 civilians. Or a 1:1 ration of Terrorists:Civilians

The US is, literally 6X more efficient than Russia.

ed 3000 terrorist. Many claim 2500+ while some claimed as small as 1500 and we know many were civilians. Even the number of strikes never reached 400, am sure it's 300+.

Well Combat Heart Blog writers had a serious debate as to which Nigerian Naval vessel should be featured in the article, but right here right now, we do not know the type of armament the Thunder has installed. The US strip the ship before handing it over to NN. If you have a good source of information about the thunder please share with us so we can update it subsequently.

NNS THUNDER CURRENT KNOWN WEAPON SYSTEM ONBOARD

Armament:
sole Otobreda 76 mm

nothing else... its hardly a warship for now

I'm kinda iffy whether Thunder and the new P18N vessel should be classified as war fighting vessels rather than patrol vessels such as the South African navy Warrior class strike vessels which have been converted to OPVs.

With limited defensive or offensive capabilities at the conventional warfare level.

Iblawi1:

Do you have full info on the specification of those vessels? No. People only comment based on what they think it has.

Your warrior class are in the class of NNS Ayam or NNS Ekpe not NNS thunder or P18N.

lionel4power:
if you read the article, you'll notice that the criterias used to rank the list includes:

i) Firepower
ii) Year of commissioning
iii) Role (e.g guided missile, multipurpose e.t.c)

Also note that NNS Thunder is not on the list but NNS Aradu was featured. If a vessel has sufficient firepower then it will be featured, if an OPV has alot of firepower over a destroyer with less firepower then the OPV will be ranked over the destroyer

Assessment confirms deaths of two senior al-Shabaab members in Somalia

STUTTGART, Germany -- U.S. Africa Command has completed assessment of two recent actions against al-Shabaab targets in Somalia.

On May 27, 2016 U.S. forces carried out an airstrike in south-central Somalia targeting Abdullahi Haji Da'ud a senior military commander for al-Shabaab. The final assessment of that operation concludes that Da’ud was struck and killed in the airstrike.

On May 31, a Somali National Army unit led a ground operation near Gaduud, Somalia, with the intent to capture extremists associated with al-Shabaab. An initial assessment of that operation by Somali authorities indicated that it resulted in the death of al-Shabaab member Mohammed Dulyadeen, also known as "Mohammed Kuno” and “Kuno Gamadere." Further assessment by U.S. forces also indicates that Dulyadeen was killed in the operation.

We are confident that the removal from the terrorist network of these two experienced al-Shabaab leaders will disrupt near-term attack planning, potentially saving many innocent lives.

U.S. forces remain committed to supporting the Federal Government of Somalia, the Somali National Army, and our African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) partners in defeating al-Shabaab and establishing a safe and secure environment in Somalia.
