JF-17 is just status update, nothing more, there is no new capability they will bring to this war that we don't already have. Except maybe the targeting pods. They will be largely used for interdiction operations which the Alpha jets, F7-NI and the trainers are already performing. What's worse, the small number we brought means at least one will be on standby at all times, one may be under going maintenance while 1-2 will be deployed for operations most times. The drones and the tucanos are a different topic entirely. They will boost the war efforts.

I am now convinced that the "tactical withdrawal" of the Nigerian military is actually a valid and reasonable strategy.
It happened in marte, several terrorists ended up dead.
The terrorists attacked Askira Uba few days ago, they faced little resistance as they advanced into the town, they even went as far as looting an armoury and burning a church, out of 40-50 of them that attacked the town, more than 30 of their corpses were discovered.

The army now simply withdraws whenever there is an attack luring the terrorists into a kill-zone, wait for air support to arrive and when the terrorists start running in disarray, the army counterattacks maximizing the casualties on the part of the terrorists with little to no casualties on the part of the army.
The problem with this tactic is that a lot of equipment are lost, either the terrorists becomes successful in carting them away or the airforce destroys them. The army should find a way to empty the armoury while withdrawing.

Check this thread for more info on the attack.

Anyways the jf17 and drone would go along way in assisting them.

I pray for more success and smooth sailing to every fallen hero

Yeah, I've seen the video, please don't post such a gory image here.

I could count at least 25-30 dead ISWAP members.

SamuelAnyawu:
Please is there always a means of communication between Supercamps and Military convoys on the roads? ISWAP did a surprise attack on the Monguno entrance yesterday, while the military at the entrance said they thought it was a military convoy returning to Monguno

Found this video on Twitter, don't know how recent it is but one of the soldiers made mention of the location being the headquarters of bokoharam.
[/b]If true, it is obvious that the terrorists have abandoned camp and dispersed far ahead of the arrival of the military in the camp. This can only mean few things, either they are withdrawing to concentrate their forces in a more easily defendable position, they are luring the troops into a massive ambush or they are simply dispersing to regroup after the offensive has lost its momentum[b]. Whichever one it is, there is need for massive deployment of ISR platforms to smoke them out. Unfortunately, one of the ATR 42 is currently in Germany for maintenance. The death toll on the the part of the terrorists is just too low in relation to the gains of the offensive.


Also noticed in the video is the heavy deployment of tanks and other heavy firepower equipments.

Amazing. You get keyboard warriors telling hardened soldiers what they require or don't require on the battlefield. Soldiers need to be mobile so having LAVs is preferable to Hilux technicals. Not every scenario requires MRAPs. Besides, we don't know all the equipment being used and what is expected.

Additional notes. It is always when progress is being made they appear. Never well done soldiers, always criticism to put a dampener on everything.

The 5th columnists on this thread enh!
