An Egyptian Air Force pilot Major Mohtady "Cobra" Shazly was killed when his Rafale fighter Jet crashed during training. Major Shazly is of the 203rd Tactical Fighter Wing.
Update:

Rafale (EM) involved in the incident was single seat variant, of which Egypt ordered 8.

Reports about a K-8E being the aircraft involved are incorrect. That's something I'm confident in standing by.

Egypt is the most stupid third world country buying the Rafale was dumb. They obviously did not get top quality for $200m apiece. $200m for one Rafale. Meanwhile it's SU30s, F16s and F15s still flying

They look it yes but we don't know for sure if they are "better equipped".

More so, how do we rate better equipment?

Yeah proper sight is the only thing the rifle is missing but since they’re spec ops units I’ll also suggest thermal sights and maybe lasers. But the rifle has a picatinny rail so all those things can be bought aftermarket and easily integrated.

Fighting Boko Haram: Shettima makes 500 traditional hunters swear with Quran, Bible not to betray military

To eliminate any doubts that could arise at the battle front, Borno Governor, Kashim Shettima on Wednesday evening presided over the administration of oaths of allegiance, using the Quran and Bible, to 500 traditional hunters, made up of Muslims and Christians, who will be sent out to support soldiers fighting Boko Haram in some locations of the state. The oath was administered at the multi-purpose hall of the government house in Maiduguri, after which the Governor allocated operational vehicles to the hunters, assured them of payment of monthly allowances and donated hundreds of bags in food items to support their families.

"May anyone who reveals our strategy to Boko Haram or betrays allegiance to the military and Government in anyway be consumed by this oath" leader of the traditional hunters, Mai Durma announced after administering the oaths. He added,

Although the hunters believed to have traditional fighting skills, had undergone thorough background screening for months, their leader Mai Durma was made to before the Governor, administer oath of allegiance to each of the hunters who swore not to share with anyone whatever part of the military's operational plan they may come to know or betray allegiance to the military, federal or state government in by the slightest sympathy or association with insurgents or their agents.

Durma told fellow hunters to be mindful of what they swore to and commit themselves to efforts in regain peace in the state.

Governor Shettima said renewed attacks by insurgents in some parts of the State necessitated the fresh deployment of traditional hunters who have volunteered to compliment progresses being recorded by gallant soldiers. He also said even though there was no doubt concerning the sincerity of the traditional hunters selected, the oath was to eliminate any doubt which could arise especially since unlike the Civilian JTF who have worked longer with soldiers, engagement of the traditional hunters was comparatively new.

Earlier introducing the hunters to Governor Shettima, Borno State's Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Barister Kaka Shehu Lawal, who is a member of the state's security council and whose ministry coordinates counter insurgency volunteers through a department of civil rights protection, recalled that "couple of months back in one of the state's security council meetings attended by heads of military, police, DSS and other para-military formations in the state, the council resolved to engage 500 gallant traditional hunters to compliment efforts of our security forces" and in furtherance, selection and screening was as done through the leadership of the traditional hunters.

"It is in view of the security council's resolution that we present to you these set of gallant hunters for inauguration" Shehu told Shettima.

Leader of the hunters, Mai Durma assured of his members' combat readiness and allegiance to the Nigerian Army and Government as they offer to fight in defense of Borno people and Nigeria's sovereignty.

I don't think that a beryL... That Bulgarian AR-M1.... And I think they are using it because of range... The tavor is a close quarters combat rifle... In a long range fight the AR-M1 is more effective, and since it uses the 7.62x 39mm rounds... It will be easy to rearm on Ur enemy when on the battlefield unlike the tavor that uses the 5.56x45mm rounds..

TROOPS NEUTRALISE BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS INCLUDING THE NOTORIOUS ADAMU "RUGU-RUGU" IN GWOZA AND ARREST ANOTHER

Troops of 192 Battalion of the Nigerian Army, Sector 1, Operation LAFIYA DOLE, while on patrol in conjunction with the Civilian JTF, along Gwoza-Yamteke on Wednesday 30th January 2019, came across some Boko Haram terrorists attempting to infiltrate the general area.

The gallant troops applied superior fighting skills and overpowered the terrorists and neutralised 4 Boko Haram terrorists including Adamu Rugu Rugu a very notorious terrorist, an indegene of Gwoza town, who had been troubling the law abiding citizens of Gwoza and its environment for many years. The gallant troops also recovered 2 Machine guns and 2 AK-47 Rifles.

When the good news of the unprecedented feat by the gallant troops filtered into town, the residents of Gwoza trooped out jubilating and thanking the military particularly for neutralising Adamu Rugu Rugu and urged them to clear more such terrorists wherever they might be. Impressed by their performance, the General Officer Commanding 7 Division, who is also Commamder Sector 1, Operation LAFIYA DOLE, commended the troops for the gallant efforts.

In a related development, troops of 152 Battalion, Operation LAFIYA DOLE, today while on patrol and based on credible information, ambushed suspected Boko Haram terrorists along
Kumshe-Usmanari road. During the ambush they neutralised one Boko Haram terrorist, while two of his accomplices escaped with gun shot wounds.

Similarly, troops of 195 Battalion, Operation LAFIYA DOLE, in conjunction with Police Mobile Force and Civilian JTF, while on cordon and search operation today at Umalari general area, arrested a suspected Boko Haram terrorist, named Mohammed Maina. He was found to be in possession of military kits and Mobile Police Force uniform. He has since been handed over to 7 Military Intelligence Brigade for further interrogation.
