Oladeligt:
Pls are you sure they got this from NA or they are just are just trying to stay relevant Cos if they got this from NA then the govt and the military authority need to be ashamed of themselves sending troops in World War 1 kind of APC.

Yes they got it from one of the ambush on NA and has you said they are trying to stay relevant !

Photos: Battle of Marte

See the damage inflicted on terrorists at the outskirts of Marte in Borno State as Nigerian Air Force (NAF) helicopter gunships, dispatched by the Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, destroyed about a dozen of their gun trucks and other vehicles. The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, while commending the gallantry and professionalism of personnel of the Air Task Force, has urged them to sustain the onslaught on the criminals, in synergy with sister Services and other security agencies, in order to rid the Nation of all terrorist elements.

NAF LOSES SF PERSONNEL IN GUN DUEL AS TROOPS OF SECTOR 1 OF OPERATION HADARIN DAJI NEUTRALIZE 30 ARMED BANDITS AT MAJE RIVERLINE IN ZAMFARA STATE

Troops of Sector 1 of Operation HADARIN DAJI have neutralized no fewer than 30 armed bandits at the Maje Riverline near Yar Katsina under Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State. This was achieved when the troops from Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) at Kekuwuje, Kwatarkwashi and Maru, comprised mostly of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Special Forces (SF) personnel, were mobilized in response to reports that scores of armed bandits, along with a large number of rustled livestock, were spotted heading towards Kekuwuje-Yar Kastina Road.

The troops made contact with the armed bandits along the Yar Katsina Road and overpowered them with superior firepower in the ensuing gun battle. The troops subsequently pursued the bandits and cornered them at the Maje Riverline, neutralizing 30 of them. Unfortunately, one NAF SF personnel, Aircraftman Sunday Enwa, who fought gallantly during the encounter, paid the supreme price while 3 others, who sustained gunshot wounds during the operation, have been evacuated for medical treatment.

The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, on behalf all officers, airmen, airwomen and civilian staff of the NAF, commiserates with the family of the fallen hero and prays that the Almighty God grants his soul peaceful repose. The CAS also urges all NAF personnel to remain resolute and continue to work assiduously, in synergy with sister Services and other security agencies, to rid the Northwest of all criminal elements.

You're wrong bro.
Those guys are not better trained than the Nigerian soldiers, that we experience setbacks in some battles doesn't take away anything from the soldiers. We've being pounding the terrorists week in week out with little or no media coverage but whenever the terrorists attack and overrun an isolated military outpost it is overblown by the media.
The only thing stoping ISWAP from getting to you are the soldiers, if you can't atleast pray for them to overcome the enemies you can simply look away.

Stop waisting your time on posy that are based on emotions !
Please

Please pay attention to detail.

Having immediate access to NVG when and if required is different from NVG being standard issue for all combatants.

What I did say " don't misquote " is that for most modern armies optic sights is standard for most assault rifles.

Stop deviating !

First it was NVG, now it's optics ?

BREAKING: Court Martial grants bail to Lance Corporal Martins Idakpini. The court sitting in Sokoto made the order today, Idakpini was arrested for criticising army authorities. He's been detained for 7 months without access to his family.

This Shit Has to Stop

Expensive is relative.

In this regard they are not expensive.

What may be expensive to Nigeria will not be expensive to USA, NATO, Russia, etc

All modern armies will have optic sights as standard for nearly all of thier combatants as well as body armour. Access to NVG is available to all combatants if required.

I have watched a few videos of NA in a fire fight situation and l noticed not all of them had basic body armour.

Stop being unrealistic !
Even modern armies like the US, Russia and China etc can't provide NVG for all there troops.

cutievik:
People wey dey go soon start to give politicians and wealthy elites as body guards..hehehe..

The amount of policemen providing escort services to people in portharcourt can Secure the entire portharcourt...Listen, our political elites are cursed....

God forgive you

Please I have a question

There were allegations in the past that Nigerian troops were not provided with Night vision glasses for Night operations. And this was a huge disadvantage in night-time gunfights.

Has this issue been trctified? While it is good to buy tanks and other heavy arms and artillery, little equipments like Night vision goggles are equally very important Sir

What are you takes on this?

NA troops and SOF do use NVG.
But the question is how often do they make use of them or how available or what numbers we have them ?
Even western or European countries cannot not provide for all there soldiers, these equipment are very expensive to get and to maintain.

In real life scenarios you only need NVG for special operations carried out in the night.

The5DME:
why do the shots seem like hey are scattering in different directions?

Those are fragments from rockets or barrel rounds hitting the ground during impact.
This fragments cuts through anything that's stands in there way.

1. The Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has dealt another blow on Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) operating in the North East of the Country with the destruction of no fewer than 3 gun trucks and neutralization of several insurgents at Mainok in Borno State. The air operation was executed yesterday, 12 January 2021, sequel to intelligence reports indicating that the BHTs, in several gun trucks, were traversing the Jakana-Mainok axis of the State.

2. Accordingly, the Air Task Force scrambled NAF helicopter gunships to engage the convoy of BHT gun trucks and logistics vehicles. The helicopters delivered accurate hits in the target area, resulting in the destruction of 3 of the BHT vehicles, some of which were seen engulfed in flames. Several of the terrorists were also eliminated in the process.

3. The Armed Forces of Nigeria will not relent until all enemies of the nation are neutralised and normalcy is restored to all troubled zones of the country.

Mali Airforce received more Mi-35 helicopters from Russia today, which were brought by a Russian military delegation.
Rosoboronexport signed a contract with Mali for 2 Mi-35M helicopters in 2016, which were delivered in Sep 2017. Mali previously procured 7 old Mi-24D helicopters from Bulgaria between 2007-2012. Not sure when the contract for the new Mi-35M was signed.

You guys are just making the issue more complicated for him to understand.

Yak 130 is an Advance trainer aircraft that can also be used in light attack operation (secondary role). The light attack capabilities of the yak-130 is just a secondary role.

Yak-130 is in the same class as L-15, M-346, T-50 golden eagle, etc.

Jf-17 is in the same class as gripen and tejas as light multi role fighter aircraft.

Sir there is a big deference between an advanced trainer/light attack and a "light multirole fighter jet" !..

Now before we argue further go check what a multirole fighter jet his ?.
And a light attack aircraft ?
