komekn:


It would help when you respond to give comprehensive examples.

Maybe l am wrong but l have never heard of a Chadian army base been over run, taken over for days, multiple soldiers killed and weapons carted off and or destroyed.

This is the first time it seems to have happened to the Chadians please correct me factually if I'm wrong.

Boko have been literally uprooted comprehensively wiped out from Chad in the space of a week.

In Comparison how long have Boko made Sambisa thier operating home base without being uprooted ❓ What has been the comprehensive response by the NA.

How many Nigerian armed forces bases have been over run by BOKO and sometimes they Boko have done a rerun and come back . In the past 10 years❓

So in a 19yrs conflict based on your figures BTW, 0.3% KIA and 2.3% WIA means failure, defeat & fatally flawed strategy?
What a logic!!

slimthugchimee2:


Lol baba is asking for refurbished tanks from Ukraine, but has forgotten what has happened to the T72s we bought from same Ukraine, you can't satisfy everybody bro.

The true situation, what NA faces unlike there Chadian counterparts

this whole operation was a MNJTF ops but mostly Chad...
Mapping was unexpectedly done by Israeli Airforce
Airlift of logistics was done by Chad and Nigeria
Aerial command post-Nigeria
Artillery and Airstrikes Nigeria and chadian helicopters...
Ground offensive Chad....

jpphilips:


Why would Israel do aerial mapping for the MNJTF?

GabrielYulaw:


Maybe the Israelis just wanted to stretch their legs or wanted to see if their cameras were still working. Or perhaps the Chadians had a few hundred thousand dollars to throw around, and had an urge to waste it paying Israelis for detailed aerial mapping, when Nigeria could had freely provided this

GabrielYulaw:


[/b]You are comparing apples and watermelons. The contract for the T-72s you are talking about were awarded to top brass in the NA. They went and got near-scrap T-72s for less than $100,000 and then sold it to the NA for around $3 million[b]

I still have Nairaland links to that shit. And yes, it still makes me super angry when I think about it.

What Komekn was saying was that we buy second hand T-72s and massively upgrade them. In case you didn't know, Russian has tens of thousands of these tanks in stock and just parks them cos they are not needed.

We can get them very cheap and that means we can have hundreds of them rolling around our battlefield for the price of what we are paying for these Chinese tanks. Putin might even give some to us for free if we let him spend some private time with Genevieve Nnaji

Please don’t even let us go to that era where the likes of Amosun and IHerinjika got hundreds of millions of dollars borrowed to buy new MBT/IFV and jets, last last naa 3rd grade-hand MBT them go buy, Amosun go rent helicopters.
For me too I’ll would have preferred we buy huge numbers of T72 from Russia they have them in thousand rotting. Then build a facility here in Nigeria to upgrade/maintain them, a kind of technology transfer. This would have been a force multiplier but these new babies are incredible.

Toju200:
of course they paid Israel to do it

Westerners ARE NOT & NEVER will be our friends. The sooner Nigerians accept this the better off will be.

Sizzorkay:
Think he meant Chad, not Nigeria.
As for those saying the US can't defeat the Talis, boy, pray you don't see the full might of the US unleashed on your country.
Only reason groups like the taliban are still around, is to avoid civilian casualties and preserve infrastructure, in other words, the US is using proportional force, if they were to use all they've got, short of nukes, there will be no Afghan left, let alone talibans.
But since they claim to be doing this for the people and perhaps democracy, they can't exactly turn the whole country to ashes.
So their lack of victory isn't due to lack of ability to do so, we would be asking, what's left of Afghanistan as a country after it's been decimated from air. I mean, the US have some hell on earth kind of fire power you even wouldn't wish on your enemy.

jpphilips:


The first time US pulled a hit on Haqqani rebels the present godfathers of Taliban on the Pakistani border in 2017, they struck with the GBU-43/B, for 12 days, no human being could come close to the blast radius, no thanks to the 11Tons of TNT.
That bomb has never been used since it was made in 2003, some comedians thought Taliban came to the negotiation table for fun.
Don't bother yourself.

Toju200:
Jesus!!!!
Guy can't u be grateful for ones
You are always *I'll rather this and that*
What is now wrong if they buy new VT-4.
I'm sure if they had bought refurbished tanks you'll say they sold Nigeria repaired scraps from junkyards...
It's a 154million dollar deal...
The amount of machines dropped yesterday was 17

Odunayaw:
Kabe1 have posted such facts —of their loss. Even a simple google search will help

If you think 20 dead here and there and a bursting off their stashes equals "wiping out", then I'm afraid, this discussion will go in circles

Odunayaw:
They were in what I call a "regroup" thus making it possible for the three Generals to be in a video. In advance or even defense, 3 battalions can never be together. Of course, this isn't going into details of orbat as I don't have such strength to type

Odunayaw:
I also don't like the BTRs but they're dirt cheap and they could be gotten fast AND IMPORTANTLY they are quite fit for purpose...Even if we have just 12 per Battalion, with MRAPs complementing

komekn:


That's a nonsensical proposition without one iota of substance.

How did you arrive at that deduction ❓ Have you lived in the West and or where educated there. Or is it by personal association and even then you there are a lot of countries in the West.

BlackBaron:
All these fights over tanks.
Who remembers the time when it was T84 Ukrainian oplots we were supposed to get?

Then didn't happen and we got T72s instead. For the price we got them, spares and repairs meant we couldn't sustain any momentum with them.

We got VT4s, this deal most likely comes with support and logistics for an extensive period of time. It lacks all the bells and whistles of their MBT3000, but it is advanced than anything in Sub Saharan Africa right now.


By the way, Thailand actually preferred The Oplot but Ukraine wasn't able to meet production demands (priorities for their own army at war with Russia) so soon chose the VT4 to fill in their needs.

Get the Bleep out of here coon. It's braindeads like you that are the reason countries like France and beyond still have much of the continent under uninterrupted economic and soilshilogic slavery and why there about to test bio agents here.
