There’s no logical explanation for why Colonel is pronounced or spelled that way.

Also British pronunciation of lieutenant

These include Operation EMERGENCE by the 4th Joint Military Region and the 4th Gendarmerie Region as well as Operation ALPHA by the Rapid Intervention Battalion (BIR) all located in Maroua.

The Governor commended the MNJTF for stabilising and restoring relative peace to the Lake Chad Basin.

it also could have been 400, or 451 or 441,the point is, from July to August it all adds up, from air interdiction missions to CAS missions(the monguno incursions) to direct firefights, you don't always have to be a skeptic man

Toju200:

In this year we have not killed that number Bro.

We have not conducted any massive operation in Borno. So how would we kill such a number?

Are we killing them through prayers?

Hmm, and it was pple like you that hailed Chad when they said they killed 1000 in a week....
The troops from all sources even oustide N.A put the casualty of past month like March in 100s, so what do you mean by we haven't killed that number in a yr...

The Chadians carried out a massive operation Bro definitely their good PR can increase the figures. We even saw many ISWAP movements into Magumeri, Kukawa and Marte because of that operation. Even BH Commanders swore to deal with Chadians and Derby.

Which operations have we conducted this year in Borno North? Buratai even swore after the Chadian operation to ruthlessly deal with ISWAP

Did you hear anything about the Buratai massive operation?

I'm not a pessimistic dude, but a Realist.

Make we no dey deceive ourselves here in the name of Patriotism.

The Federal Government and Top Military Ogas should up their game Shikena.

What is currently playing out in Magumeri is already a Big slap self

If you understand how ISWAP rolls you'll know Airstrikes only will remain like a Matchstick burn without our Boots on ground.

Operation Hailstorm it's alright .

relatively cheap kamakaze UAVs used by the azeris destroying Armenian military vehicles, probing and attacking Armenian defensive (or offensive) positions, the end of manned aircrafts and an era one would say?

I doubt this. The use of Radio Wave energy for operation by UAVs remains a huge disadvantage. Portable SDRs (Software Defined Radios) powered military equipment are in advanced research stage. They will help lay waste to UAVs in future warfare.
