I can't even count the amount of times they've bombed IDP centers and you're here talking about investigation and compensation. what Intel do they have to carry out any investigation?
You still don't know how incompetent and dull.the airforce is. The Nigerian military generally is useless but among the 3 arms, airforce is the most useless, less effective and dormant.

Even the pictures here are from a recent BHT attack early this year. So because of this unfortunate incidence are pilots and not well trained about?
You has well say Russians, Americans and there allies in the Middle East are not well trained, because they’ve carried out more strikes on civilian targets even with 3rh generation air assets, talk less of pilots flying Alpha jets dropping metal bombs and rockets.

CaptainStephen:
You start by asking who ever cleared the jet Hot ! NAF has a detailed process involving both ISR and Humwit before strikes.
Please just ignore the dude.
If this is true, we can’t reveive the dead we can only pray for there families in pain and pray the government do the needful by compensating those who have lost properties and loved ones.
He said Alpha jet has limited targeting capabilities, which is true. But if he as been following news and event coming from the Middle East how come Almighty America modern air capabilities mistakenly bomb hospitals and residential area. People don’t understand the complexity of COIN operations. You might have valid intel that terrorist are in a particular place at a particular time, your intel can change less than minutes. Not only America, Russians are killing innocent people, am not justifying what happened but who told him that even with modern aircraft with best targeting capability technology has to offer you can’t bomb innocent lives.

“[/b] In February, residents of Garkida, Adamawa state and Korongilum, Borno state, had alleged that NAF fighter jets refused to open fire on suspected Boko Haram insurgents when they attacked their communities [b] “.
One of is funny statement was the NAF refused to open fire at BHT some times ago, only people like him who are keyboard commandos would type such thing.
How many wedding ceremonies that where bombed by the Americans and there allies in the Middle East with F16 and F15, this are modern aircrafts any airforce would which they have !

Interesting stuff.... raining season will indeed be a time for this guys to regroup..
Thanks
This is the major set back troops face during raining season. Few troops on patrol are easy ambushed because of the growing vegetation and troops are sometimes forced to do long kilometers patrol on foot.
I remember sometimes 2015 to 2017, we lost a lot of good men and equipment trying remove stalked vehicles in moody sand dune, especially during the night.
It also serves has time for terrorist group to recruit, regroup and re-strategized before the next season.

GENERAL BURATAI ON A TOUR TO ARMY SPECIAL SUPER CAMP NGAMDU,
* Directed Troops To Brace Up For Final Defeat of Insurgency
* Assures Troops of More Fighting Equipment

In continuation of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt Gen Tukur Yusufu Buratai's tour of troops' locations in the north east theatre of Operation, the COAS has assured the troops of Operation Harbin Kunama IV of the provision of additional military hardwares and platforms to enhance the speedy completion of the ongoing war against insurgency in the North East.

The troops are on training at the army special super camp at Ngamdu. He directed them to take their training seriously in preparation for the speedy conclusion of the war against insurgency in Nigeria.

Gen Buratai gave the assurance while addressing troops at Army Special Forces Super Camp Ngamdu in Kaga Local Government Area of Borno on Thursday the 9th of April 2020.

He said that the Nigerian Army had taken delivery of more equipment and platforms that would be deployed to various theaters of operations across the country.

The COAS directed the troops to take advantage of their new additional equipment and platforms to hasten the final defeat of insurgency in Nigeria.

He further enjoined the officers and men to ensure that the recent setback experienced does not deter them from defeating the terrorists and assured them that with more commitment, courage and resilience insurgency will soon be history in our country.

According to him, "as you all know, we have been on this ground for long and I expect us to remain resolute, selflessly committed and push for the total defeat of the Insurgents in the coming days".

"I assure you that what is remaining is very small but it will require us to put more efforts, more determination and more courage to complete the remaining part of the battle soon".

Recall that of recent, we had setbacks which must not be allowed to happen again, -
We will not allow any further casualties both in men and equipment.

Recall that the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Gen Buratai has been on operational tour to various troops' locations in the North East theatre of operation since on Monday the 6th of April 2020.

He also visited Army Super Camp 1 at Molai and the Special Forces Super Camp 12 in Chabbol near Maiduguri on Wednesday.

COAS was also at the Forward Operating Base at Alau Dam, outskirts of Maiduguri and also personally led the troops on reconnaissance around Mairimari Forest located southeast of Tamsu Ngamdua in Mafa Local Government Area of Borno State.

Similarly, the COAS went round Maigilari Forest in the east of Tamsu Ngamdua in the southwest of the same Mafa Local Government Area. These areas are generally seen as the routes and directions of approach into Maiduguri by the Boko Haram/ISWAP Criminals.

PRESS RELEASE

STOP DEPICTING THE MILITARY AS BRUTAL IN YOUR DRAMA SKITS

1. There is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a variety of measures to stem its spread in our country. Some of these measures include restriction of movement, lockdown and stay at home directives which are being enforced by various government and security agencies. Some creative Nigerians found it expedient to provide comic relief through the production of funny jokes, graphics, drama skits and video clips to entertain the public. The materials are circulated through social media.

2. Unfortunately, most of these clips circulating on social media bordered on the Nigerian soldier and projecting the military as lawless, brutal and being harsh on people flouting the stay at home order pursuant to the lockdown and stay at home directives imposed in some states in Nigeria. There is no doubt these drama skits and video clips denigrate and cast the military and the security forces in a bad light.

3. This development creates a wrong impression and general perception of our soldiers negatively and projects them as undisciplined and brutal. Thus, creating an erroneous impression of the military. We are well trained and dedicated professionals that perform our Constitutional duties diligently and dispassionately with utmost regards for human rights and rules of engagement.

4. It is wrong to continue to produce such drama skits, video clips and graphics at the expense of the excellent image of the Nigerian soldier. It affects troops morale and has a broad implication for national security. No nation or good citizen make jest of its military. Therefore, we are appealing to well-meaning Nigerians and producers of such materials to desist forthwith. The military or security agencies should not be made the subject or focus of those skits at the expense of a key and strategic arm of the security architecture of our great nation.

5. On our part, we will continue to discharge our Constitutionally assigned tasks professionally respecting human rights and rules of engagement. We will also investigate the source of such props and costumes and ensure that military uniforms will not be used to denigrate the military.

No offence, but U sure say that tiny mosquito go fit do all those things u talk? 12 for $329 million equates to $25m+ each. With that kind of money, we can still do better. What happend to the su25 someone mentioned? We still can't overemphasize the importance of dedicated gunship platforms as well as armed UAVs for 24hr all weather surveillance and attack. Air force needs to address that.
Tiny but the sting will bring hell and destruction from above.
This Tucano jet is specially designed for COIN operation and quote me there is no assets in its class that cheap, easy to maintain, that can bring destruction to terrorist, precise munition and targeting system .......etc

I know why some people don’t like this jet, one it’s a turbo-aircraft and solely for COIN and it can never be used for air power projection. But we have a serious internal problem we need to deal with, we can always get aircraft meant for our air space cover and power projection in the nearest future. Until few days ago no body knew the army was doing some serious shopping which deal was activated almost a year ago.
Who and some equipment are still coming in from Russia and Eastern Europe.

Nigeria bought 12 Super Tucanos for $329 million. That individual claiming 600 million is telling lies.

We are also getting JF-17 thunders, we are also getting MI-35m helicopters. For the MI-35m once we pay the balance the remaining 8 units would be delivered.

[/b]The Tucanos can carry all the ground attack bombs and munitions in the US Air Force service apart from MOAB and Nuclear weapons.

The Tucanos can loiter and provide reconnaissance for 10 hours to ground troops, imagine that capability.

The Tucano is perfect for Nigeria considering we are not in a threat environment like Syria were the enemy has MANPADs [b]


We cannot buy the TU-160 it's not going to happen. We cannot buy the AC-130, that's not going to happen either.

What the Nigerian army needs in addition to more of the VT-4 Tank is a dedicated Air Arm, armed with Light Attack Helicopters.
