All this bad news coming out of the NE theatre these past few days is really disheartening, I thought the war had advanced well behind this stage.

I thought we were in a mop up stage and these terrorists had been degraded to the point they could only hit soft targets and sparsely guarded outposts.

It’s starting to look more like a never ending war of attrition, similar to conflicts in India, Pakistan and turkey.

RIP to our galaxy soldiers paying the supreme price for this country

Such is the nature of COIN.

In spite of all these little set backs, we are winning the war.

But guys trust me, BHT will soon release there propaganda video on the ambush and F.O.B that was attacked in Your.

Time will tell.

How do we know which side is exaggerating or covering up if there is a lack of transparency?

You are right that war should also be included and also including the 1960s war between Somalia-Ethiopia. By the way, my father was commanded during Ethio-Eritrea war and I lost some relatives who went there to fight.

Abyssinian–Adal war
British Expedition to Abyssinia
Ethiopian–Egyptian War
Mahdist War
First Italo-Ethiopian War
Second Italo-Ethiopian War
World War II
Korean War
United Nations Operation in the Congo
Eritrean War of Independence
1964 Ethiopian-Somali Border War
Ogaden War
1982 Ethiopian–Somali Border War
Ethiopian Civil War
Eritrean–Ethiopian War
War in Somalia (2006–09)
2007–08 Ethiopian crackdown in Ogaden .

Judging by the facts and sources of equipment and (army &airforce) size; they are doing better than us, also in private defence sector.

And to my shock the Ethiopians have the highest number of UN military personnel contributors, sources released by UN.

The few upper hand we have is we have a Navy, population and much more stronger "economy per GDP".

The Kilo 17 attack targeted an Army Thunderbolt vehicle (HUMVEE or Nimr) using an IED several days ago.

One Thunderbolt Officer was injured in the attack and was medically evacuated.

AN/PVS-14 monocular HMNVGs in service with Egyptian Special Operations.

One of the problems with how Egyptians use optics and NVG in particular is the lack of laser light modules. Meaning no IR laser or illuminator for aiming and spotting targets. .

VP Prof Osinbajo yesterday attended the Nigerian Army Day Celebration where he inspected the military equipment exhibitions.

Theme was: The Nigerian Army and National Security; A Panacea for Nigeria's Economic Development, held at Military Barracks, Mongunu, Borno State.

I can see MRE, hand held radios and some spare parts, all locally made I presume.

I can also see SATCOM Namibia.

It's high time these MRE becomes standard issued meal for all our frontline troops.

I hope they will get use to it, unlike the beans, yam-porridge and "eba".....
