People complain like babies here sha. Fighting terrorist is not the same as fighting bandits.

If the military got info. 3 days before, the town was also deserted as at the time of the attack, the boys on ground were also asked to retreat and even directed out of the area by NAF plane and most of you think they know nothing about it?

It's not about the approach, the military cares about result.

All i see here is more like a Honeypot. You guys should relax abeg. We go hear story soon.

I guess its cheaper on the long run to allow the camp be raided by BHT and then subsequently carry out a well co-ordinated counter offensive to flush them out.

Three days notice is more than enough time to get the three arms of military prepare for an offensive.

jakeporeshenko:
They also conduct thier own independent opps so they can’t always be there to bail out the army and provide CAS during an attack.
simple solution: approve and fasttract procurement of offensive air platforms for the army air wing (attack helos like the t-129), not silly light scout helicopters that generals will turn to battlefield Uber.

persius555:
Just like the previous government, this govt is too contented managing this war rather than bringing it to an end. I doubt if there is any town in Niger, Chad or Cameroon that BH currently occupies. Nigeria is the loose end. BH feels so comfy attacking our military bases rather than the neighbouring countries.

This time tomorrow, one would expect that gudumbali would be severely air raided.

jakeporeshenko:
Are you sure they weren’t more than 300 ?

The group already released a video of the attack

allexpensive:
Over 300 bokoharams. How did they get there? Zero situation awareness. ISR can do little as this place is large.


Last message for the mean time. It's going to be bloody this time around.

allexpensive:
Moving out of here again. Several towns was captured by BOKOHARAM. My boys and I should get airlifted out of here soon.

jakeporeshenko:
Same here, how much is miss budget even ?
Wasn’t it the same NIMASA that procured the ATR -42s before they were transferred to NAF

jakeporeshenko:
PMB has directed that NIMASA to transfer its Aw139 SAR helicopter to the Nigerian navy.

It is only NAF that can save Nigerians in this raining season. Those treacherous conditions have always hampered Nigerian Army activities.

jakeporeshenko:
Today marks the 5th day of Operation thunder strike 2. So far NAF has release 4 videos showing its aircrafts destroying BHT logistics and bases.

Kai, make I no talk

andrewza:
A pistol and knife is carried by faster jet pilots. The issue is that in a fight that not all that effective against a squad with rifels. Best thing is to not get in to a shoot out or if fighting a civilized enemy surrender if found.
