The aeroplane looks like a Chinese kJ-200 (AEW&C). If true,caught me by surprise. I was not expecting that.

Modified.
The Drone there is the Wing Loong-10.

We are winning. In the last three weeks, ISWAP has taken more casualties than the NA. Don't let this latest loss put you off.

Also note, some terrorists would also have died in the attack. And as we are getting more MI-35 attack helicopters, there would be enough to go round all military operations.

It could also be the Cloud shadow drone,it is very similar in appearance to Wing Loong-10 and the Wing Loong-10 may have been developed from it.

The DHq should avoid placing our troops as sitting duck in terrorist infested areas, Air assult like what they have been doing before now is the best method.
Strike Hard and Fast, Hit them on the point of their concentration and withdraw quickly with that their would be few remnants roaming about.

It is well bro, what I am concerned about as a Nigerian , is the advantage it will bring to the fight against insurgency and it's use in cross country intelligence gathering.

Agreed. Concerning deploying to new FOB's near enemy territory, I would have suggested that the soldiers have artillery fire support ahead of them. Interestingly,it seems that the boys that we lost are NAF- Sf. If true,this is a bit worrying. It suggests that the Air force is more determined than the Army is to get the Job done and inter-service co-ordination is sketchy.

Yes, the chief of air staff, mentioned it, it would be stationed in benin, I was expecting mr on my radar to provide more info on it.
The chief kept calling it special mission aircraft, and from the little I gathered, but not verified it was to be based on a cessna cj3, modified for whatever specifically the aircraft was to be used for.

I remember the air chief, stating it would be used for the monitoring of our maritime domain

Then what should be done in my own humble opinion is a robust coordinated large offensive to drive them back to create a buffer zone from their Base in lake chad to Northern Bornu Axis setup a Strong Super Special Forces Camp in the Base supported by Strong Punishing Artillery System with Observation UAV.

The aircraft mentioned is not for NAF ,it is for FG under deep blue project tagged safer water ways.

The Rhodies were widely regarded as Master COIN fighters in their day. Even today,middle aged ex Selous Scouts,RLI and SAS are heavily recruited in Afghanistan where they're famous for 'going Rhodesian,' which is to go on a week long foot patrol in a 10-12 man team loaded down with 40 kg of ammo and water.
They had good tactics as we've seen on these pages and some innovative aerial ordinance.

Golf bomb,a fuel/air mix.

The next project was production of a fuel-air-bomb, similar to the one used by the USAF in Vietnam. In addition the Golf bomb was designed and developed in two sizes, the larger being the FBU 460 for delivery by the hunter FGA-9, the smaller Mini Golf or FBU 70 delivered by the Lynx aircraft..
http://samilitaryhistory.org/4/c04augne.html

Another successful innovation was the Mini Golf bomb with a long, 1200-millimeter detonator in front of the body of the bomb itself. When dropping it from the plane under a parachute, the pin struck the surface of the ground, and detonation of the explosive occurred at a height of a meter above the surface. Due to the special composition of the explosive there was an effect, which was compared with the "mini-explosion of a nuclear bomb" - in the strike zone, this weapon destroyed absolutely everything alive without exception in an area of 100 by 150 meters. The use of this type of weapon was only occasional, but it had a very great psychological impact on Mugabe's armed groups.
http://roden.eu/HTML/628.html

Alpha bomb, a cluster bomb unit.

The CB470 is a cluster bomb with a unique design. The conventionally shaped dispenser has been created around the existing round Alpha bomblet. A total of 40 bomblets are carried and each bomblet is provided with its own ejection door. Upon release the fuze each radial row of four bomblets with 0.8 second interval in order to maximize area of effect. The bomblet will first bounce on the ground, even on water or mud, before exploding mid air for increased fragmentation range
Each of the 40 bomblets has a RDX/TNT filling and will produce fragments that are effective against personnel, soft skin vehicles and other unarmored targets. A single CB 470 has a 70 m wide and 250 m long shrapnel footprint. When dropped at speeds of 850 to 1.000 km/h the CB470 can be safely dropped from altitudes as low as 25 meters.

Frantan,was an indigeneously developed napalm,mainly used to clear out rocky hills. Idk how the composition differed from the US version but the Rhodies deployed theirs in frangible hardened plastic tanks.

These designs are still highly effective: N Naij,Zim and Kenya share many environmental features from semi desert to savanna.

Very sure. Even the army got some new toys already delivered that very few peeps are aware of. Those army toys are quite strategic hence men kept quiet.

The NAF had already told us they are expecting UCAV. I just helped complete the info. For the EW & AEW aircrafts, they were long overdue. They are silent orders just like the VT-4 tank.
I opened up cos the aircrafts wouldn't be hidden.

the aircraft you're talking about I the aircraft for the Deep blue but will be operated by NAF.
And it's the Cessna Citation CJ3 with Israeli BIRD system. It can perform different task that's why it's called Special mission Aircraft.
It will have a data link that will live feeds and Intel/Info to The Falcon Eye system,DB C4I,And the two vessels DB Lagos and DB abuja

Could you at least confirm/deny whether the NA took delivery of the Javelin anti tank system ( Chinese version.

There are moles or informants feeding ISWAP with intel. That is very clear.

They were setting up a FOB and attacked, smh.

Was there no risk assessment and safety precautions put in place. Anyway, quota system officers also contibute to battelfield casualties.

I stumbled upon this on twitter, it appears the NAF might have acquired a 4th jf-17, so it would appear we now have the NAF -722, NAF-721 and NAF -720, but also the NAF -702!...could it be the've been numbered?

Or better still, the NAF is acquiring 3 jf-17bs, and 1 jf-17 block II?!!

It is highly possible we bought them, because our anti-tank systems are old, But I found no direct or indirect evidence. I have checked everywhere but there is no clear confirmation. In fact, from my sources, I would say a big No.

But am confused about this article.

I think it's a win win for us, and it doesn't put us on unnecessary diplomatic pressure and cost efficient projects, imagine our c130s without the PAF and now the operations upgrade without the jf17.
