Boko Haram Administering Territories, Imposing Taxes In Yobe, Borno

A map produced by a U.S. development agency in February shows that a Boko Haram splinter group, the Islamic State in West Africa (ISWA) continues to occupy large swathes of Borno and Yobe States, stretching into the Lake Chad Basin. Reuters in a report noted that the map again proved that the Buhari administration’s claim that it has “technically defeated” the terrorists and they no longer occupy any territory in the country is false.

How on earth did that happen? A mnjtf of such number should be formidable enough to scare BHT.

Rip to the soldiers killed.

So painful and a great lost inflicted on the MNJTF solders.

To those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we thank you. Your sacrifice will not be in vain.

To the 22 Soldiers Killed; R.I.P & 75 Injured in Lake Chad region we wish you quick recovery.

newafricaken254:
they are basically equivalent to British parachute regiment

Really, please do a little bit of research.....

Stephandeswardt:
Thats exactly what the usa army ranger is

Please quickly do a research on the United States army RANGERS if it's an elite unit/ SF or even best SF units in the world.

You might change your opinion.

Henry240:
From open source information, i know all there is to know of the AFSF.

I'm saying they are a special forces unit, but not a unit like the SEALs or SAS. They are more like the Golden Dawn Division in Iraq, the 2nd Commando from Australia, Rangers or MARSOC from America.

Whit these description of yours I think I agree with your definition of a dedicated elite unit like the SAS, SEAL TEAM & the SPETNAZ.

Why would you compare the rangers with MARSOC..? The United States military Armagh are the Army, MARSOC, Navy, Airforce and the Coast Guard, while the rangers his an elite force of the United States Army.

Stephandeswardt:
Regular infantry, trained to a higher degree and kitted to a higher degree than basic infantry.

So that even describe the United States army rangers...

His that what you are saying

Henry240:
Operations.

You want to know about there operations.

Stephandeswardt:
Afsf is our ranger

Rangers......?


So even if they are Rangers according to your own description. You think Rangers are just ordinary infantry or foot soldiers.

Well they are not.

.

Henry240:
From what we can see, only the SBS is close to what we can describe as a strategic asset. It's not a bad thing, threats determine operational requirements.

Units like the AFSF are the tip of the spear. Of course they can carry out HVT Kill or Capture, but that unit is primarily a very specialized infantry unit. Same as the Regiment from the Air Force. Only the SBS feels like a Navy Seal or SAS type unit.

The NNSBSC are the best SF assets we've got, yes I agree with that. We shouldn't forget that the defense HQ selected the best from Navy, Army, Airforce SF even the Police fore where not excempted from the training in North East-Europe.

Calling the AFSF a specialized infantry unit will be a total bad comparison way out of line

These guys are better equipped, trained and given tough task against a deadly terrorist sect.

frumentius:
Presuming he knows the distinction in the terminology, I'm still waiting for more details.

Okay...

Henry240:
Nigerian SF are mainly specialized infantry.

Stephandeswardt:
d


Truth of the matter is that we need cluster bombs for second waves of attacks......or a lot more rockets, else we just bombing structures and making BHT more shock resistant( learning on the job)

True yarn mate......

tdayof:
I am impressed with the video. Why don't we bring in Special forces to clear such area? SF breach the area and then draw enemy fire. This time, Boko Haram will converge together to return fire. With eyes in the sky, the A-Jet can now come in while the MI-35 provide CAS.

My opinion tho as I feel having a special forces team on the ground will increase BHT casualty.

That's a normal procedure with the Nigerian army. When there is an air strike the whole area is combed and ground battle damage assessment is carried out.

Josfactz:
the should followed the ones running

Yeah the A-jet straffed the fleeing BHT they could, didn't you see it .

NIGERIAN AIR FORCE FIGHTER PLATFORMS NEUTRALIZE SCORES OF BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS IN YUWE

The Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, on 28 April 2018, neutralized scores of Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) at YUWE in Borno State through successful air strikes. The mission was conducted following intelligence report that BHTs fighters were hibernating in the settlement. Consequently, the ATF detailed Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Alpha Jet aircraft and one Mi-35 Helicopter gunship to conduct Air Interdiction on the BHT location in 2 waves. Overhead the location, the NAF fighter aircraft acquired and attacked the terrorists in the settlement with bombs, rockets and canons while a NAF Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) conducted Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) of the mission. The BDA revealed that at the end of the attack, some of the buildings in the location were successfully destroyed and engulfed in fire while the occupying terrorists were neutralized. Thereafter, some of the terrorists that survived were seen scampering for safety, with various degrees of wounds. The fighter aircraft then attacked the fleeing BHTs in subsequent waves of attack.
