Terrorists material and propaganda shouldn´t be given ample publicity. Viewing discreetly is one thing if you choose but making it public on a forum like this followed by youths around the world is subtly aiding and abetting terrorists ggenda something they want. Just look at the title: Tribulation & Blessings. Thats a Recruiting Slogan right there. if u´re gonna give info on them do it with them having their tail between their legs not copying verbatim whether text or video onto a public fora. Why help them propagate their hate. BHT knows those few secs of clip is an art of psychological warfare even if they loose a hundred men doing it or even get wiped out on a counter-attack. The Nigerian Army is in control of that base and all but destroyed boko haram. That raid is boko haram´s strategy of remaining even if mostly suicidal attempts.

Dude the video is in hundreds of site if you care.

All what you said translates to; you are still leaving an 100 years behind. Wake up the world as gone past all these flimsy explanation.

Odunayaw:
How do we know na, you are judging by pics. Abi you know any of their engagements that informed your judgement?

Before these Ivorian Sf parade wooden AK riffles on parade.

But now we see better kits and new generation weapons; it translates to a better and more effective army/Sf.

But you don't win wars with fancy kits ; hope you get my explanation.

Stephandeswardt:
I want to see this video, we need to see this videos.....its not gloryfying any terrorists, its best we know what reality is.....coming from someone that eats and drink and been through stuffs with sbs and AFSF......AM LOYAL TO NIGERIA BUT I WANT TO SEE THE VIDEOS

The way we see things are pretty different.

When you post such materials online; it enables body who want to carry out research on terrorist activities, track records easily and mode of operations etc

The material or links I posted does not show how to make I.E.D or V.B.I.E.D....etc

Just let the dude be. tnx

Covert1:
This right here is glorifying terrosists. Taking it down is advisable. They are no martyrs but wicked murderers. They need no form of publicity.

Yeap I respect your view.

But it's not glorifying terrorist activities looking other sides of such issues. There are always two sides of a coin.

Yes they are not martyrs but barbaric people; and there are thousands of terrorist video activities on the Web, which are rather used for educational/information purposes.

Odunayaw:
On camera abi which way

Not on camera.

They are better equipped, trained....

Stephandeswardt:
Do you have link to the other videos,

Nop these is the only recent video released by ISWAP .

Don't forget there where two attacks on a military Base and an ambush on military convoy.

I think these is one of the attack on the military Base.

allexpensive:
The Air Force procurement details on this JF17 is still sketchy and the top brass are being silent.

Details like how many are we purchasing should be explained especially with it always appearing on every year's budget.

I wouldn't be surprised if by next year's budget; additional payment for procurement of new jf-17 jets.

NIGERIA APPROVES BUDGET WITH NEW PAYMENTS FOR JF-17 FIGHTERS



On 20 June 2018, Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari signed the country’s next fiscal budget – i.e. the 2018 Appropriation Bill of the Federal Government of Nigeria – into law.[1] Not only did the final budget retain the $35 million US installment allocated for three JF-17 Thunder multi-role fighters – to be procured from Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) – but the revised budget added another $47 million US for the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) JF-17 program.[2] With Nigeria previously allocating $14 million US for JF-17s in its 2016 budget, it appears that the country will complete its payments to PAC by the end of 2018.

Not only does the allocation firmly settle that the NAF is to be a JF-17 user, but with its payments done, it should be on track to begin inducting these aircraft. Currently, the workhorse of Nigeria’s combat aircraft fleet is the F-7NI (i.e. a version of the F-7MG), a platform the JF-17 was designed to affordably supplant.

UK unveils 6th generation fighter jet called Tempest

Tempest is expected to complement the F-35 and eventually replace Typhoon.

It is understood that £2 billion in initial funding will be set out to oversee the design and build of the aircraft, which will be operational in 2035. The project is a joint venture between BAE Systems, Rolls Royce, MBDA UK Ltd and Leonardo.

As part of the study, a full size model of the aircraft was constructed and was subjected to a rigorous test regime to determine its radar cross section.

According to reports, the Replica project is known to have been worked on from 1994 to 1999. It was also widely believed that Replica could have been intended to inform work on new generation aircraft and that looks to have been somewhat accurate, even based on how similar the design looks to Tempest.

Team Tempest brings together the UK’s world leading industry and sovereign capabilities across future combat air’s four key technology areas: advanced combat air systems and integration (BAE Systems); advanced power and propulsion systems (Rolls-Royce); advanced sensors, electronics and avionics (Leonardo) and advanced weapon systems (MBDA).

Early decisions around how to acquire the capability will be confirmed by the end of 2020, before final investment decisions are made by 2025. The aim is then for a next generation platform to have operational capability by 2035. The Government say that F-35 Lightning II and the Typhoon are two complementary multi-role combat aircraft that will make up the RAF’s combat air fleet, “placing the UK at the forefront of combat air technology” – with the Typhoon expected to remain in UK service until at least 2040

Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Hillier, said:

“The Combat Air Strategy will bring together the best of our people, industry and international partners to support the RAF lift-off into the next century of air power. Team Tempest demonstrates our commitment in ensuring that we continue to build our capabilities, draw upon our experience and history to bring forward a compelling vision for the next generation fighter jet. In last 100 years, the RAF has led the way and today’s announcement is a clear demonstration of what lies ahead.”

PRESS RELEASE

RE: BOKO HARAM OVERRUN MILITARY BASE IN YOBE, SOLDIERS MISSING

1. The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a publication on the front page of Daily Trust Newspaper of Monday, 16 July 2018 titled “BOKO HARAM OVERRUN MILITARY BASE IN YOBE, SOLDIERS MISSING”. In the said story, the report stated inter alia, that “over six hundred soldiers are still missing after suspected Boko Haram militants overran a military base in Yobe state”.

2. The Nigerian Army wishes to state categorically that the report is not only untrue but capable of misleading members of the general public.

3. The write-up further alleged that about 100 of the troops that disappeared from the base in Jilli after the clash have reported in Geidam town but very few of them had their weapons with them.

4. Contrary to the report, the Army wishes to state that, although the base was attacked by suspected Boko Haram insurgents, troops reorganised and successfully repelled the attack and normalcy has since returned to the area. Also, all the troops in the base were accounted for contrary to the report.

5. Consequently, the Nigerian Army wishes to state that the fight against Boko Haram Terrorists in the North Eastern parts of the country is yielding positive result that lead to the return of some Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) back to their ancestral homes.

6. The Nigerian Army therefore advised members of the public particularly residents of the affected areas to go about their legitimate businesses and disregard the said report as the Nigerian Army will continue to protect lives and property of citizens at all times.

7. The Nigerian Army also call on the media to always restrain caution, verify facts as well as balance their reports before rushing to the press to avoid misinforming the public on sensitive issues.

8. Thank you.
