youghs:BHT/ISWAP was totally uprooted in Chad but few days ago it was just unfortunate that they seized these clean looking weapons from them  #ISWAP captured 6x Galil ACE 33, RPG-7 with 6x T69-1 w/ motors, along w/ Type 67 MG (67-1/2 likely) in an ambush on the road between Kegua & Ngouboua, from Chadian (Airborne/FAS?) troops. Multiple cas. in this attack. The ACE 33 are quite rare and status weapons for IS.

Faithful007:Even if you hire PMC they’re not going to be here forever. Insanity his doing things the same way all over again and expecting deferent or better result. If you’re going to use PMC what equipment are they going to use, the almost extinct REVA MRAP or you buy there special unit new MRAPs only and when they’re gone the main troops don’t have enough equipment to fight. Let’s go to the United States and get fairly used MRAPs, with deferent types with some that comes with RWS and few with Surveillance Systems for Mobile Land Vehicles & Camera: these would be game changers. Also go to Russia get fairly used BMP 2 & 3, likewise deferent types of BTRs. If we can get additional T72s or upgraded version to add to our VT-4 fleet that wouldn’t be bad. All patrol team in the Northeast should be using MRAPs and not these soft skinned Toyota hilux vehicles. The airforce needs more than just 3 jf17’s, if we can increase the numbers to 10 and above because any time soon we might be opening another new theatre fighting terrorist with the emergence of new ones in the North west/central. Thank God we are getting 12 Super Tucanos but 2002 his too far and we are loosing good soldiers. Getting more advanced drones would be crucial also, especially those with high loitering/endurance hours. If the army can get light surveillance drone strikes that wouldn’t be a bad idea. The problem is not majorly our fighting troops neither hiring PMC would solve the issue of terrorism. It’s with our leaders and hierarchy in the military top decision makers. 11 Likes |

HOW I FOUGHT BOKO HARAM TO REGAIN MY FREEDOM – TRAVELLER,,,, A survivor of a suspected Boko Haram abduction has described how he fought to regain his freedom. Travelers along the Maiduguri-Damaturu expressway were ambushed on Monday, at around noon by unknown men dressed in military camouflage. The attack occurred in Auno village where vehicles conveying passengers were hijacked and driven off by the suspected insurgents, survivors said. “I am a graduate and was on my way to Damaturu, the Yobe State Capital to submit my application for the recently advertised DSS recruitment when we were abducted,” a survivor, who preferred to remain anonymous, told a Channels TV correspondent on Tuesday. “On our way, I engaged one of the armed terrorists in the bus in physical combat and pushed him down from the moving vehicle, we fell off together. “As an Ex-Jam, immediately we fell from the moving vehicle, I wrestled the gun from the terrorist who was badly hurt from the fall. “The other terrorist who was driving the bus was also attacked by some young men in the bus, the vehicle hit a tree and stopped. “That was how we and some few others were able to escape the kidnap. This was around 1 pm, in broad daylight. We eventually found our way and headed to Jakana! “The number of passenger vehicles hijacked by the terrorists were more than 15 in number. “Women, Children, families were all abducted yesterday. The terrorists had a filled day yesterday. “The reason we escaped from the others is that the terrorist who drove our vehicle took a different route from the convoy of the other kidnapped vehicles and were left far behind.” Meanwhile, the Borno State Command of the Nigerian Police said it has recovered a cache of arms at the crime scene, where the travelers were reportedly abducted. The Commissioner of Police Mohammed Ndatsu, in a news conference on Tuesday in Maiduguri, displayed the recovered arms before journalists. “Our men at Auno discovered that there was cut off in the movement of vehicles from Damaturu to Maiduguri,” the Commissioner said. “That gave them the feeling that maybe something is happening. They went on the road and got a hint that there was an attack, but according to what we heard, they said the military was moving and they were ambushed. “They moved for assistance and rescue but on the way, they saw a vehicle on fire and another camo hilly upside down and that attracted their attention and they went towards it. Away from it, there were some arms and ammunition which were recovered and there was a corpse. That corpse we wouldn’t know if it was as a result of the exchange of fire because he wasn’t dressed in any uniform.” According to the police, it is not clear if the arms belong to any of the security agencies or the Boko Haram insurgents. Investigation to determine that is ongoing. Weapons recovered include; eight AK47, AA 2, one MG, two magazines with 51 rounds, 270 rounds of ammunition of MG, and 4 spare barrel.

ugo4u:NAF LOSES FLYING OFFICER TOLULOPE AROTILE IN ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT IN KADUNA It is with great sorrow that the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) regretfully announces the unfortunate demise of Flying Officer Tolulope Arotile, who died today, 14 July 2020, as a result of head injuries sustained from a road traffic accident at NAF Base Kaduna. Until her death, Flying Officer Arotile, who was commissioned into the NAF in September 2017 as a member of Nigerian Defence Academy Regular Course 64, was the first ever female combat helicopter pilot in the Service. During her short but impactful stay in the Service, late Arotile, who hails from Iffe in Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State, contributed significantly to the efforts to rid the North Central States of armed bandits and other criminal elements by flying several combat missions under Operation GAMA AIKI in Minna, Niger State. The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, on behalf officers, airmen, airwomen and civilian staff of the NAF, commiserates with the family of late Flying Officer Arotile over this irreparable loss. We pray that the Almighty God grants her soul eternal rest.
