Metele Attack.

SamuelAnyawu:


Except barb wire is not the actual word. I have seems many with wired fence bro. Ask Soldiers here I don't want to start mentioning exact FOBs here. Especially FOBs that are not right inside the host communities.

bidex111:


Just remember a F.O.B with a wire barb fencing all through and it was not even constructed by the army.
It was a poultry settlement raged by the war and was later and still been used has a F.O.B.
I’ll get the pictures soon.

People should not get stuck up on definitions they are fluid and are determined by the use you put the particular asset too.,

If something can be modified then it can be used for whatever you decide too use it for, that makes it multi use and therefore multi role.

With regard to Sepecat Jaguar , probably the best set of air craft the NAF have ever acquired in recent times all 18.

However, our military has always from inception been cursed with political wranglings, tribalism and religious discrimination, the British started it as a means to prevent the south from agitating for independence.

But back to recent times, the suspicion of coup and counter coup created deep mistrust as well as undue paranoia with the senior officers. The NAF as well as the Navy required a certain degree of academic excellence and knowledge for progression. As a consequence the ability to flood the NAF and or the Navy with your own kinsmen in the past was limited.

There was a coup planned against Babangida in which NAF officers was heavily involved. They were in their positions by merit. Babangida could not control or manipulate the NAF. So he essentially rendered it impotent and the first victims were the Jaguars which they feared so much. A group of technicians came from India years back to do some assessment in civilian times and were shocked at how the aircraft were in such good condition. The all had very flight hours comparative to their ages. I expected the NAF to revive those airframes (for small money) which are still better than those Chinese rebadged Mig 21's we bought for stupid money IMO. Thankfully we are leaving those dark days behind. Unfortunately have not been able to deal with corruption completely.

It is the same historic mentality that has plagued the NPF, it seems the only weapon they have are assault rifles. Police forces across the world are equipped with MRAPS, HMG , Grenade launchers and multiple heavy to light weapons. But the fear that the NPF would therefore be equpped to stop the NA from carrying out coups or limiting the NA influence has seen that tent continue.

Because in all honesty the Mobile police force should be equipped with HMG, LAV, RPG7, Multiple light weapons Sniper rifles, and should be able to contend with BOKO. The police many a time are outgunned by criminals and why have their weapons not been upgraded to reflect the current threat levels bot with bandits and terrorists. That would free up the NA to concentrate on its core task.

There are a few who have been shouting very loudly that the A29 is the game changer in COIN warfare. And even quite a few who have erroneously agreed.

My approach is very simple, "Best Value" and greatest impact / outcome delivery from limited resources.

I said the future is " Attack UAV'S" that give you 24 hour endurance without the enemy even knowing and then you can eliminate him clinically with almost zero risk to air force personal. They are now the game changer.

Wing Loong II is an attack UAV that has some impressive statistics. 24 hour endurance, 1500km range and a 500kg payload of multiple smart and precision ordinances, missiles, etc There is no hiding place daytime or nightime.

How many UAV 's do we need to have total and complete 24 hour coverage of the NE theatre and with over watch of our very gallant soldiers.❓❓ ❓.

My projection at least 35 Wing Loong II UAV will do the job. But to be absolutely sure l would procure 50.


Now some of you not all will even shocked at the procurement cost.

$1million per unit, that's $50 million for 50 Chinese Wing Loong II attack UAV now compare that to the total per unit procurement package cost of one turboprop A29, which is $50 million.

Now with your eyes � open which would you rather have. ❓ ❓ l find some of our decisions baffling and the allegations of zero will to end this cash cow war, begin to have some credence.

With 50 UAV or effectively 20+ combing the skies at 8000 ft, at any one time, unknown Boko. Not one of thier gun trucks will be able to operate without being roasted, indeed they will have not be able to have any. It means where 2/3 Boko gather we will know. There will be nothing like suprise attack on any NA base or convoys and or convoys of Boko gun trucks running with reckless abandon across the NE. That's for the entire NE theatre.

I have told you FOBs I have seen with my very eyes with wire fencing. Ask a Soldier who has served in Gajiram in Nganzai LGA or Bilimari a Lil bit on the outskirt of Monguno.

Its not "I hear say".

I do not give my reports from Lagos. 2018 I virtually traveled thrice a week to around Lake Chad on road Kekeno, Cross Kauwa, Kukawa, Doron Baga and Baga Main town before ISWAP burnt down our health facilities in Baga and Kukawa.

Even in 2019 we worked at Gasarawa in Guzamal a before ISWAP kinda started showing up for treatment of which we had to abandon that site.

I don't want to even mention the Monguno-Maiduguri road self because that one is my frequent highway. Tho I have stopped for two weeks now because of the Checkpoints ISWAP mounted almost five times last week and taking away valuables from passengers.

jpphilips:


Can your Winglong UAV train Nigerian pilots during and after the war?

Can Winlong UAV straff ammo on hostiles in regions with high Civilian population or when the military is low on budget to throw precision missiles around?

Im certain you aren't thinking long term, UAV's may inject short term capabilities but Tucano will win long term especially when the war ends.

bidex111:



You can be in Borno, a fact I can’t argue with you. But you mentioning some areas in Borno claiming you often make use of the roads frequently shows you are bloody liar and you’re very good at it. Dude have spent over 5 years in the N.E and Kekeno been my base, currently am in another N.E state going to three years now.
Kekeno in Kukawa L.G.A are still deadly even for the military patrols , likewise cross kuawa, east town of Kukawa are all ghost road. Keep lying and fooling yourself.

Stormtrooper11:
Learnt nigeria is interested in the migs(might be mig 35).wouldn't it be more appropriate to get the chinese j-10c?considering the chinese deliver hardwares within a short period of time and the j-10c would fit our long-term requirements.

Stormtrooper11:
Nigeria is gonna need a frontline fighter(jf 17)& an air superiority fighter.the j-10 is the perfect choice.the j-10 was cleared last year november

nemesis8u:
Seriously

Nothing less than a miracle

Prostate carcinoma causes the production of HCG in male. HCG is what they test for in female urine samples to detect pregnancy. And considering the age of the owner of the test results...... He should get himself checked.

rka2:


The Jaguars were beyond economic repair when examined because they were left in the open to rot without any protection. Imagine the state of the airframe and the avionics etc. Nothing the Ind.....s could do.

Stormtrooper11:

What about blessing liman?thought she is the first

bidex111:


Yeap she was the 1st female pilot but not the 1st fighter pilot.

nemesis8u:


Wrong

HAL after inspection offered to make them flight worthy and up to date.

The NAF did not agree with the price . So no word was heard as a result.

Toju200:
exactly I wonder why he would be suggesting drones at this point in time...
We have them but for the meantime there's a reason why we aren't using them..
To avoid civilian casualty
The Super tucano is one of the most needed hardware even the US are sorting out for it..
KingAzubike was also against the Fact that we use AKs when obviously it's the most suitable for the African Scotching weather..
Forget the Fact they don't have Scopes and all( By the way most of our AKs do have Scopes ) even some has Grenade Launchers and suppressors.Its How you're able to use your weapons not how good looking they are..Komen you onced said these terrorists are ragtag so why should we waste Expensive Drone Munitions on them,When I believe even up Armoured guntrucks backed up with MD5000 helos will do

GabrielYulaw:


So, we are not using surveillance drones in order to avoid civillian casualty? Without such drones in use Boko Haram will always be able to surprise and ambush our troops and range all over the place without our knowing where they are at.

LTGEN:

RKA is right
You are wrong.
The Indians told the NAF it wasn’t even feasible to repair due to the amount of corrosion.
During this period the UK shut down the last factory responsible for making spare parts.
Currently it is only India that operates the Aircraft.
