The RPG-7 also features with the Paras. While its anti tank capabilties have been blunted by the rapid up armouring of MBTs and IFVs it is still has a lot to offer.

Fragmentation and thermobaric rounds great for use against personnel or structures. Can fire illum rounds too.

The Paras follow the Army and Thunderbolt in their choice of designated marksman rifle and sniper.

Meaning the Remington M24 and SiG SSG 3000. Both are primarily used by Recce elements but have also been seen in use by assualters.

Are APCs not classified as IFVs

Capital NO.

IFV gives infantry more protection against heavy weaponry and provides punching firepower support.

On the other hand the APC does not provide protection and fire power much needed during combat

TROOPS CRUSH FLEEING BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS IN GONIRI, YOBE STATE

As a result of the ongoing clearance operations through Operation DEEP PUNCH II in Operation LAFIYA DOLE, some desperate Boko Haram terrorists attempting to escape the theatre through one of the formidable blocking positions in Goniri, Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe State, had been severely dealt with on Friday 9th February 2018.

The terrorists in attempt to penetrate through the troops lying in wait were mercilessly trashed. The troops destroyed their Vehicle-borne Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), neutralized quite a number and wounded several other escaping Boko Haram terrorists. Similarly, they recovered an Anti-aircraft gun with long belt of ammunitions, an AK-47 Rifle and other items.

Immediately the terrorists encountered the troops around 6:20pm, they adopted rapid firing, while the troops responded with maximum volume of fire. The troops' tank tactically flanked and crushed the IED laden vehicle of the terrorists.

The response was very efficient as only 2 soldiers sustained minor injuries.
The two brave soldiers are currently receiving treatment in the Brigade Field Ambulance.
Preliminary investigation reveals that some unscrupulous Boko Haram terrorists informants might have hinted the terrorist group that the troops had moved along with their equipment out of the blocking position the previous day, hoping that penetration through the area would have been easy. Disappointedly, they met gallant troops who proved too impenetrable, frustrated their effort and cleared their doubt.

It should be noted that having been forced out of their hideouts due to the ongoing Operation DEEP PUNCH II, the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists have resorted to marauding around isolated communities and fleeing the theatre. Nevertheless, the troops
have remained resilient and on maximum alert, full of high morale.
