Here's one way to signal to a friendly unit. The flag on your vehicle, open frequency for SOS. Only friendly units and command centers will receive the call.

The Nigerian flag is indeed beautiful.

jakeporeshenko:
If you are referring to AHQSG then we are aware of that unit, but I don’t think I’ve heard of DHQSG

Not ahqsg. What I'm trying to say is that they're guys used by ONSA /DHQ/MOD for covert operations. The Army has something similar runned by its leadership.
I know someone who is part of the team. He was trained in s foreign country. After serving his term in the NE, his unit and everything changed. They called him in.

We're okay here in the airforce.

I have seen documents from the top describe them as critical national assets. The SBS boys are being referred to as assets for marine terrorism or whatever.

Hope I haven't said much. I requested for permission to post on my 3 days journey so I am awaiting response.

Latest news from the headquarters of poverty According to the BBC says junior Nigerian army threatens to use witchcraft on Bokoharam, saying they won't engage in physical wars... one of the soldiers said at least 40 of his colleagues would refuse orders to deploy.

“Soldiers are dying like fowl,” the soldier told the BBC Hausa service.

“The Nigerian army is not ready to fight Boko Haram,” he said,

“Boko Haram are inside the bush, everywhere,” he said “They [senior commanders] are sacrificing soldiers,” the soldier said, insisting that they don’t have the equipment with which to battle Boko Haram.

Utmost stupidity. You believe everything bullshit you read on news? Where do you get your information from?

Who gave this lies?

jakeporeshenko:
Tell us about the secret units

ONSA / DHQ guys. They're not public for some reasons know to them.

The army has something like that too but these ones were drafted from already specialized units.

NNSBS showcasing their various heliborne insertion and extraction skills

This unit remains Nigeria most deadly unit known publicly.

Is this house still available? I have a relative interested in this area.

Geronimoe:
my post was in reply to that ikorodu boy.

I apologize for my second sentence. I have adjusted the comment boss.

joshingjosh:
@Allexpensive or any other soldier..the issue of putting on different camo,...I will like to know if they had been any issue of blue on blue because of it?

Not that am aware off. There are different ways to signal a friendly unit.

abiodunalasa:
3-4 travel in the hot zone!
Oh my...
Don't worry sir, the prayer and thanks of 180million people are with you. And Godspeed is with u as well. Amen

Thank you boss.

Supply runs to brothers on the field. IED probing, bht elements, resting etc will make it a long one.

abiodunalasa:
The guy in the 2nd pics doesn't seem happy about his picture been taken... But since allexpensive is their boss the dude got no choice except him wan land for guard room

Lol . The picture, I'm in none of it. I'll be making use of a Tavor too and not the M762.

I was referring to his gear; the vest, nvg et all.

abiodunalasa:
But why are you carrying a Beryl instead of the Ctar common with Airfocre contingents in the North East ?

The exact picture isn't me. I mean that's how I'll be gearing up in few hours. We should be out soon.

The NVG - It's a 3-4 days journey so it's needed.

#RANDOM

The first picture is me in few hours. We will be out of base for 3-4 days. Supply runs, a UAV has been assigned to sweep our route. BHT we're coming, no fear!

Geronimoe:
If he likes let him be Donald Trumps father and hold several European citizenship it doesn't stop the fact that you are a Nigerian. Delude yourself with joy if you will and please enjoy the delusion as much as you can.

Fact is they have the choice to serve another nation.

Omololu001:
I'm already a citizen.

What's there to be patriotic about being a Nigerian Very few Nigerians are patriotic and I'm not one of them.

Is daura a patriotic Nigerian?

I will rather fight with all my heart defending ikorodu rather than defending places like borno,kano etc. And my people are not as dumb as the kanuris fighting for Allah an Arab god

Goodbye

You've said your own. So please stop meddling into the affairs of the patriotic ones. I could have decided to use my Michigan degree to work in a company but I'm here serving my fatherland.

It's all about passion and interest. All these countries have their short comings to. Our nation maybe a shithole to you but we are proud of it. Not living in Nigeria doesn't mean you're doing better than those of us here. Some of us have reasons to be here and not everyone is here in the military because we're broke. Alot of military guys have enjoyed the best of these foreign nations than you. We have several guys in the Nigerian military who hold dual citizenship and are ready to fight for the country.

The military isn't about patriotism alone. Passion keeps us alive.

Sire, please we understand the fact that you're not patriotic as you've mentioned so kindly leave this military issues for us. You can open a thread on Ikorodu military capabilities.

abiodunalasa:
This guy is so gucci up...
What unit is this abeg?

allexpensive

No idea of his unit in Nigeria. I'm sure he's Pakistani trained by SSG.

CaptainStephen:
Where did you gather these from ?

I'm shocked too. I have said something here which is when it's time to defend our territory against another nation. The fight won't be this way.

Chad itself dare not feel they'll be running us over. It's not possible.

bidexiii:
Chadian, Cameroon and Niger bases have been overran by BHT, not once or twice these year.

Last month. That I'm aware of, the Cameroonian base has been overrunned twice. So this year is more than 5

SSGN:
As of this writing the Chadian army is superior to the Nigerian army in every category except tanks...and for that no problem, unable to match Nigeria's huge tank regiments they have stockpiled almost 200 MILAN anti-tank missiles. These missiles can be fired from standoff distances and wipe out Nigerian tanks with little efforts. This country's military is at its weakest in living memory.

Baba na lie o which Chad again?

doziex:
Confusion has returned again to the battle space. The bhts have the initiative, and they will soon hit maidugri hard.
Acting president Osibanjo should fire buratai before Bihari gets back.

NA and it's leadership need to stop playing around with the lives of their troops, and the lives of the Nigerian people.
I think this lack of seriousness or politicking, is why CAS seems to want to do his own thing with the air force, and expose the army for the frauds they,or are becoming.

When is the last time you heard that bhts overran a Chadian base or even a Cameroonian base. Rarely, I bet it has something to do with their obsession with big long range anti aircraft artillery. Cameroon has brand new Chinese APCs from which they could direct accurate, computer targeted mortar fire on the enemy, while forcing the enemy to duck and cover from their AAAs. chad can employ BMW-21 marls and their AAA to thwart any bhts moves against them.
If you have observed how the Chadians role, they are constantly on the move,with their stores, RPGs tied to their trucks in bundles.
So the don't repeatedly leave them behind when they have to maneuver like NA does.

Having ranger units trained in Pakistan or Belarus, doesn't mean that the command is committed to counterinsurgency warfare. Who has trained the generals, so the AFSF can be utilized appropriately.

They are supposed to be harassing bhts from behind their lines, than being formed into glorified assault infantry.

Again, counterinsurgency is about continuous cycles of Find, Fix, Flank, Finish. Let the CJTF arm themselves properly and protect their own villages and convoys.
They are better at it anyways.

Chadian, Cameroonian FOB have been over runned this this month.


The only thing I have noticed is this guys do not spend much time on Cameroon territory before running away due to air power. They have assets to deploy but ours are over stretched.

BHT may decide to hit maiduguri but they will be hit very hard before getting to the town. They can only work on using vbied.

Attack on maiduguri has seen up 3 gunships deployed with support from fighters.

The only issue is mastering military strategy. Several things need to be involved. We also possess some capabilities but are not used in the right way therefore making the war look so conventional like a regular fight.

This is why they find it easy to take on non specialized units. Non specialized units are also equipped with small arms in large scale so this help their inventory.. RPG, bullets etc.

Odunayaw:
Is the pic recent? I thought they stopped camo for paramilitary

What is not banned in Nigeria? It's still in use.

Henry240:
It's a Chinese AK copy.

It's used here very well. Na guys. Most AK here are the Chinese made variants.

jakeporeshenko:
Nigerian customs now use the beryl rifle

Any news on that production line?

Is that not ak series?

jakeporeshenko:
Who can guess what decommissioned NAF Helo is in the background hint: it’s Soviet made

Odunayaw:
C'mon boss, he is oblivious to what's going under him?

The Chief of Ops both at Army & DHQ are Chairmy generals!

Yes, just as you've said, he knows what's going on under him but then we also have generals incharge of the operation. What exactly is the problem.

If you want to win this war, you must learn how to reduce troops casualty.

giles14:
let the NA go back to drawing board.

let's retrain our new fresh soldiers on base defense and properly reequip them

If it's the same units from Jilli then they're fresh soldiers because those guys were deployed from ilorin. Most of them don't have COIN experience but are visible in terms of training.

Coin isn't about training. It's about experience. When I come under fire, when it's not tactical, I drop my training somewhere else and do what ever will keep my boys alive.

Odunayaw:
I believe the man is bereft of new ideas, but then is the Chief of Operations dull too?

They open bases, make dry statements, pose for the camera & Sai dai safe!

It's not Burutai fault. Those who should be held accountable are those heading the theaterrrr. Make I no go talk now before my next deployment be deep into lake Chad region.

iblawi:
Why must army open new bases that can't be protected?

I don't know how they operate there. We do recon here and you should know NAF provides her personnel with equipments too. We operate more armored hilux etc

iblawi:
Another new army base.

It says troops from Jilli were moved there. Same units got attacked again.

Did they not learn from the first? Brothers on the battlefield, we need to know our own safety matters too. Perform recon around your base regularly..

That's what we do here. long range range recon. We have assets to protect too.

https://www.nationalhelm.co/2018/08/17-nigerian-soldier-reportedly-killed-by-boko-haram-in-fresh-attack.html

This is crazy. I still repeat NA base are not safe in the Northeast.. NAF operates sole FOB too and our base protection is better.

I don't know how NA handles things but they need to improve. Men are dying.. Apart from situational awareness, other things can be put in place. Men just died and being here, I don't even know about it

ugo4u:
Heartbreaking!!! 17 soldiers lost their lives in Garunda village Borno state, 14 were injured and an unspecified number unaccounted for. The attack happened yesterday evening. This is really sad.

Ambush? Never heard about this.

More details?
