Please disregard any information of blue on blue by the Nigerian airforce. The airforce did not hit any government troops during the encounter with bokoharam.

1) There was no helicopter response from Monguno as aircrafts currently do scramble from maiduguri.
2) QRF was not the first set of reinforcement.
3) The first response came from the Nigerian Army and some elements from the AFSF.
4) The first aircraft to arrive the scene was the ISR which has been on a surveillance mission.
5) Due to the condition, another ISR aircraft was scrambled from maiduguri Airport to support the initial aircraft on ground. First ISR platform established communication with ground troops and the aircraft provided way for the incoming reinforcement due to bokoharam blockage.
6)F-7 came in first and fired the first rocket while the mi-35 and A-jet arrived shortly.
7) ISR already marked troops positions and it was easy to identify own troops.

Please we should stop spreading fake news. There was no blue and blue.

All information here are verified and they are as it happened. Concerning death, I cannot say if there was casualty since the injured soldiers have been moved outside here.

Journalist should please take note of the above information.

Journalists will do anything to get sensational headlines/traffic. Nigerian Journalists with all due respect are the most lazy set of professionals save for some fewer few. I'm yet to see a Nigerian Journalist carryout an on the spot assessment/verification and a live gunfight reportage before dashing for the keyboard. Most of them are in Lagos and Abuja enjoying google free WiFi while their European counterpart(Vice news and co) defy the odds in the devils nest covering the actual situation on ground.

Believe Nigerian journalists bloggers at your own peril. Social media esp Twitter has made alot of people irredeemably irresponsible.

jakeporeshenko:

I know her. She's a reputable journalist and I have met with her severally.

I will just suggest the Nigerian army or the military in general have her set up publicity for activities going on here. Several times we have hit bokoharam massively and these things don't get reported.

Take a closer Look it seems the bird has 4 main Rotor blade. And to the best of my knowledge the only heli with 4 bladed main rotor in the NAF inventory is manufactured by Aérospatiale, and the SA330H PUMA is their baby.
I might be wrong though, but that's my personal opinion.

NAF LAUNCHES OPERATION THUNDER STRIKE 2 AGAINST BOKO HARAM INSURGENTS, RECORDS SUCCESSFUL STRIKES IN BORNO STATE

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), through its Air Task Force (ATF), has commenced OPERATION THUNDER STRIKE 2 against Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) in the Northeast. The Operation, which commenced on Monday, 3 September 2018, is an independent Air Interdiction Operation targeting selected BHT locations within the fringes of Lake Chad and Sambisa Forest in Borno State, with a view to further degrading the remnants of the insurgents, curtailing their freedom of action and denying them bases from which they could launch attacks against our ground troops’ locations.

On Day Two of the Operation, 4 September 2018, air strikes by NAF aircraft resulted in the destruction of BHT hideouts and neutralization of scores of insurgents at 3 locations namely; Tumbun Rego, Sabon Tumbun and Tumbun Allura, all on the fringes of the Lake Chad. Tumbun Rego, which is located about 140Km Northeast of Maiduguri, has been identified as a major logistics/communications base and staging area for the insurgents. Accordingly, the ATF detailed F-7Ni and Alpha Jet aircraft to attack the identified BHT logistics/communications hubs. The identified hubs were subsequently destroyed by the strikes. Similarly, a number of solar panels were spotted and destroyed during the attack.

The attack on Sabon Tumbun was undertaken based on Human Intelligence reports, which were later confirmed following several days of Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, indicating that the settlement was a BHT tactical operations base. The settlement also had some equipment and vehicles cleverly concealed under thick foliage. Accordingly, the settlement was attacked in successive waves of strikes by Alpha Jet, F-7Ni and Mi-35M Helicopter Gunships, leading to the destruction of BHT facilities, equipment and structures in the settlement as well as the neutralization of several insurgents. Tumbun Allura, another major BHT operations base on the fringes of the Lake Chad, was attacked by Alpha Jet and F-7Ni aircraft. Overhead the area of interest, several of the BHTs were observed and the objective attacked leading to the complete destruction of one of the specific target buildings under a tree. Many of the fleeing insurgents were also mopped up by subsequent follow-on attacks. Meanwhile, at the time of filing this report, the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Abubakar, was still in Maiduguri, where he had gone to motivate the frontline personnel while also obtaining firsthand information on the progress of the Operation.
