NIGERIAN AIR FORCE DESTROYS BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS HIDEOUTS NEAR ARRA IN BORNO STATE

The Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, between 10 and 18 August 2018, conducted massive day and night attacks against remnants of Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) and their facilities. The attacks, which were preceded by days of intensive Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, were planned and executed based on credible intelligence indicating that the BHTs were making moves to regroup around the fringes of Sambisa.

The first air strike was a daytime mission executed on 10 August 2018 at a location 4.5 Km Northwest of Arra around the fringes of Sambisa, where ISR had confirmed that BHTs were regrouping to launch attacks against our troops in the general area. Accordingly, the ATF detailed an Alpha Jet to attack the location. Overhead the area of interest, the Alpha Jet acquired and engaged targets, destroying parts of the settlement and neutralizing several BHTs. Intelligence reports later revealed that some of the surviving BHTs had converged at another location 4.8Km West of Arra. Consequently, the ATF deployed Mi-35M helicopter gunships for a night attack on the new location on 18 August 2018, resulting in the death of dozens of BHTs.

PRESS RELEASE
NIGERIAN AIR FORCE DEGRADES ARMED BANDIT KINGPIN’S HIDEOUTS IN SHAMASHALE, RUGU FOREST IN ZAMFARA STATE

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Air Task Force (ATF) for Operation DIRAN MIKIYA, on 15 and 18 August 2018, successfully degraded several identified hideouts of a notorious armed bandit kingpin. The attacks, which were executed in support of ground troops in Sector 2 of Operation SHARAN DAJI, were planned based on credible intelligence that the kingpin and his group of armed bandits were using an abandoned primary school in SHAMASHALE as well as some makeshift settlements in nearby RUGU Forest in the Eastern part of ZAMFARA State as bases for their operations.

The attack at SHAMASHALE was conducted on 15 August 2018, following further confirmatory Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions that revealed the presence of several armed bandits in the area. Accordingly, the ATF dispatched 2 combat helicopters to attack the location. During the attack, some bandits carrying sophisticated high caliber weapons were seen trying to flee the area. Some were on motorcycles carrying AK-47 rifles and, rather than dropping their weapons and surrendering, attempted to shoot at the helicopters; hence they were neutralized. Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) conducted on 16 August 2018 confirmed that the kingpin’s main hideout had been severely degraded and human intelligence (HUMINT) sources later availed pictures of some of the slain bandits. Items recovered from the armed bandits include 2 General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs), 2 AK 47 rifles, 100 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition and 2 mobile phones.

The adjoining settlement camps within RUGU Forest, which had earlier been confirmed by HUMINT sources to be inhabited by only bandits, were attacked on 18 August 2018. A ground attack aircraft and 2 combat helicopters struck the camps in successive waves; first targeting the shelters and then executing follow-on attacks to ensure the threat posed to the local villagers was adequately dealt with.

The ATF will continue to dominate the area through armed reconnaissance and air interdiction missions to completely decimate the armed bandits in order to ensure a return to normalcy in Zamfara and other States in the North West. All persons involved in armed banditry in the area are therefore advised to renounce violence, surrender to security agencies and hand over their weapons.

I know this guy. This is heartbreaking. Recently, a friend from the army was attacked and took a bullet which brushed his eyes to the side and this happened in Benue too but fortunately they overturned the ambush.

Stay safe guys.

Great lost.

NIGERIAN AIR FORCE HOLDS THIRD QUARTER 2018 ROUTE MARCH EXERCISE FOR PERSONNEL IN ABUJA

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) today, 18 August 2018, held its 2018 Third Quarter Route March Exercise for personnel serving in Abuja. The Exercise, which also held in NAF Units across the country, was led by the Chief of Policy and Plans, Air Vice Marshal Muhammadu Muhammed, who represented the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, at the event. The aim of the Exercise is to keep officers and men of the Service physically and mentally fit for the effective performance of their various duties towards fulfilling NAF’s constitutional roles.

While speaking at the end of the Exercise, the representative of the CAS commended personnel for demonstrating high level of physical fitness, stating that officers and men of the NAF have proved beyond reasonable doubt that they are willing, able and ready to serve the nation and defend its territorial integrity. He urged the personnel to sustain the military culture of regular exercise in order to maintain their personal physical fitness to enable them carry out assigned tasks and perform their jobs more efficiently. National Youth Service Corps members serving with the NAF as well as journalists also participated in the 10km march, which kicked off from Mogadishu Military Cantonment to Niger Barracks and back.

The Scorpion was one of the first vehicles I was introduced too and drove in. That was donkey years ago.

Things have moved on so much that for most western countries they are classed as obsolete.

However, in that is an advantage.

Three are so many armoured platforms classed as obsolete that can be picked up for literal peanuts and I mean peanuts. In some regards with good diplomacy for nothing as a friendly nation.

That there is no reason we should be driving around in soft skinned pick up trucks, WHAT SO EVER.

Add to that when I look at the cost of a Toyota gun truck and a used APC multiple options and origins. I am BEWILDERED is there no Ingenuity in our procurement and best value. There are armoured platforms that atwe over 25 years old but with barely 5000 miles.

So what are out guys doing looking for DEALS ❓ ❓

You can pick up a BTR 60 for $5k bulk buy they are not great but better than hilux.

I see expensively trained AFSF combatants in the back of a pick up.

It's like after training to be a formala one driver yoi are given a 504 to drive.

So don't get the wrong end of the stick, this is positive constructive criticism.

I have often thought of procuring and donating to units in the NA but discovered from enquiries. That the powers that be were opposed to the idea. I wonder why ❓ ❓

He was lucky when a bullet grazed deep into is left leg during an attack in Kekeno, very close to Niger Republic. The last time I saw him was in Borno - Park with a crush-stick.

PRESS RELEASE

SECURITY ADMINISTRATORS IN KADUNA BRAINSTORM AND RESTRATEGISE ON THE WAY FORWARD

1. The dynamic nature of security management makes it absolutely necessary for regular reviewing and restrategising to meet the contemporary challenges. The prevailing security situation in the Area of Operational Responsibility of 1 Division Nigerian Army requires focused and wholistic approach by all stakeholders in the security architecture. In line with this, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 1 Division NA, Major General Mohammed Mohammed convened pioneer meeting of security Administrators to brainstorm and explore strategies that could curtail the emerging threats. In attendance were all the Heads and Representatives of security agencies in Kaduna State Commands.

2. During the meeting, General Mohammed briefed the stakeholders on the ongoing efforts by the Division aimed at combating armed banditry, kidnappings and cattle rustling. He stated that the objective of the meeting is to achieve synergy of efforts among the agencies and to plan towards esbtalishing a Fusion Center for exchange of information and intelligence between the security and law enforcement agencies in Kaduna State. The GOC said that this unique arrangement will provide additional platform for pulling and coordinating common human and material resources for effective security management.

3. In their various remarks, the stakeholders commended the initiative and expressed readiness to key into this noble idea for robust security arrangements in the state. They described it as barrier breaker of inter - agency rivalry, which would enhance response time and served as proactive measures towards forging a common front against unpredictable security threats.

4. All the security agencies represented at the meeting emphasised the urgent need to set up the Fusion Center to consist of all representatives of security agencies, where information will be collated and processed for common usage by intelligence community.

Our own war is stretched and the pattern seems different here. Response to bht technical is RPG hit or a direct fire on the position as we don't have money to fire tows. Technicals are deadly. Those useless bokoharam are not scared to die. They just come rushing, shooting everywhere in a stupid manner. You as a soldier, you want to live so your actions must be well calculated.

The only easy way against a technical is to sight them before they sight you.

You’re actually right, they are sticking to their conventional ways of doing things while facing an unconventional enemy, it can’t work, so far the army has been by far the slowest to adapt.

5 years later they are still developing doctrine meanwhile we are meant to e masters of COIN warfare by now haba

NA also seems scared or shy of embracing technology,

Incorporate technology, enhance intel gathering and acquire helos for rapid response, shorten chain of command, all these little things will give NA such a huge boost!

Gospel truth mate.

NA scorpion light tanks in storage, sometimes I wonder if we at really at war in this country, what will it Cost to upgrade these things and put them on the battlefield ?
New/refurbished engines, new gunner/ commander sights for improved accuracy and night fighting capability and swap the guns for 20mm cannons.

Just like that your have an cheap and effective killer to hunt down any BHT technical Troops encounter.

We just aren’t serious in this country, later somehow will say Boko Haram receives satellite intel from foreign countries.

The major problem is that the top brass in the Army are not thinking out of the box, not innovative & creative lipsrsealed

Look at the breakthroughs and successes recorded by the NAF.

MAJOR GENERAL UDE ASSUMES DUTY IN MNJTF

Major General Chikezie Ude has assumed duty as the new Commander of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF). At a ceremony today at the Headquarters of the MNJTF in N'Djamena, Major General Ude thanked his predecessor for the remarkable achievements recorded during his tenure. He also lauded the Executive Secretary of the Lake Chad Basin Commission and Head of Mission MNJTF, His Excellency, Ambassador Mamman Nuhu for supporting the former Commander and stated that he looked forward to enjoying similar support and cooperation during his tour of duty.
Addressing officers of the MNJTF and staff of the African Union Mission Support Team, General Ude assured that he would continue from where his predecessor stopped and solicited the cooperation of everyone to ensure that the problem of Boko Haram terrorism is eradicated quickly.

Also speaking at the ceremony, Ambassador Mamman Nuhu noted that General Irabor is a Commander with a remarkable pedigree, noting that he will be missed by everyone. He assured the new Commander that the LCBC will continue to avail the MNJTF the same support that it enjoyed during General Irabor's tenure.

Speaking earlier, the former Commander thanked the Ambassador Nuhu for providing the leadership which facilitated the achievements he recorded during his tenure. He also thanked political and military authorities in the countries of the Lake Chad Basin for the support given to the MNJTF. Similarly, he commended Strategic Partners, the United Nations, the African Union, Sector Commanders and personnel of the MNJTF for working harmoniously with him for the good of the Lake Chad Basin. He assured that though he is returning to Abuja, he will remain in touch with the MNJTF and will offer any assistance within the purview of his new deployment.

Please, disseminate this information to the general public.

Saw a thread in front page of a fallen soldier(my name sake for that matter) https://www.nairaland.com/4680380/boko-haram-kills-ugo-uruakpa men!!!!! that photo is too graphic (+40) the way his skull was crushed gon is shocking and I believe the bullet that hit him will come from the nozzles of an AA. Last, last war no good oo, but the good thing is if actually he was hit by AA his brain might not have processed it as to feel the pain(died instantly).
The month of July was really terrible for the Armed forces.

R.I.P SOLDIER

If it was an AAG the head will be in pieces, the bullet is from a MG/GPMG/PKM .
