The 12.7mm rounds must be responsible for those holes.

Hmmmm...probably.

yes cadaveric spasm can happen rarely after death and most important flaccidity can explane the detonation if its a pressure holding system , rigor mortis start only from 3 to 4 hours after death and is maximal after 6 to 12 hours and disappears after 36 to 48 hours .

but according to egyptian official source ! there was 4 gunmen in the car not only one ! they were planning to put the vehicle in front of the tank in his blind spot when he cant fire on them ! then run and hide , let the car explose ( a timer device ) , destroy the tank and the two military vehicle with him ! then came and attack the soldiers in the checkpoint behind ! so it was a Timer denotonator thats why there was an explosion . ( 7 civilians died during this attack)

Bleep what where the civilians watching , I watched the video yesterday they had all time to escape with there dear lives.

I guess its those ones who wanted to escape with there cars and now they are gone living there cars behind ..

I'm aware Jammer works against RCIED but I'm just lost in thought why the VBIED failed to detonate if it was manually operated until it was crushed. MALFUNCTION or what?

If there was a jammer the car wouldn't have exploded, untill it will be safely detonated by the E.O.D team, except for cases where there is a secondary detonator.

But I think what happened was the trigger-man holding the detonator panic or the I.E.D detonator mechanism malfunctioned before the m60 tank got to them. these his my own opinion .

The explosives has being crushed by the tanks weight, thereby generating a lot of heat/pressure: setting it up before it took a while exploding.

Defence news in Nigeria is Bullshit. Today they call trainers fighter jets tomorrow they call rockets guns.

I wish NA can be releasing information like NAF and not waiting for some fashion or celebrity news journalists.

MikeCZA:

The whole story does not add up.

And I think they meant mortar not artillery.

NAF OPERATIONALISES UNITS IN KATSINA STATE
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) today commissioned the 213 Forward Operating Base (FOB) in Katsina and the Quick Response Wing (QRW) Daura thus formally marking the beginning of operations in the 2 units. The idea behind the establishment of the new units is to extend the reach of the NAF to the Northwest Geopolitical Zone, having already made appreciable contributions in different theatres of operations across the country. The 213 FOB is thus structured to shorten NAF’s response time while extending its reach in supporting air operations to deal with threats to Nigerians.

While commissioning the new units, the Special Guest of Honour, His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Katsina State, Right Honourable Aminu Bello Masari, lauded the decision of the Federal Government in establishing the NAF units in Katsina. He stated that NAF’s presence in Katsina was long overdue considering its strategic importance, being a border state. He expressed his belief that the presence of the NAF in Katsina would go a long way in complementing the efforts of the Nigerian Army troops in boosting security in the State. He therefore requested members of the NAF’s host communities to give maximum support to the NAF. Governor Masari was also full of praises for the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, who he acknowledged had done so much to reposition the NAF as one of the best air forces in Africa. He particularly commended the standard of buildings on the NAF bases, saying that they indicated a leader that cares for the welfare of his personnel, adding, “the other arms of the Armed Forces should emulate the NAF”.

In his remarks at the occasion, the CAS stated that the 213 FOB would accommodate some platforms and specialized equipment whenever the need arises. He added that the regiment wings in Katsina and Daura, with their specially trained personnel, would provide the necessary protection for NAF personnel and equipment, in addition to responding in aid to civil authority, when called upon to do so. He then charged the NAF personnel to conduct themselves professionally and treat all citizens with respect and dignity. Air Marshal Abubakar, who seized the opportunity to announce the establishment of a Central Flying School in Katsina, also expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for creating the enabling environment for the NAF to fulfil its statutory responsibilities. Meanwhile, as part of the NAF’s corporate social responsibility to its host communities, the CAS handed over a fully furnished block of 4 classrooms constructed by the NAF at Muhammadu Buhari Primary School in Daura. The CAS and his team had since returned to Abuja.

Army loses 9 soldiers to rescue kidnapped NNPC staff


Deathmachine are those guys AFSF or just regular?

They are regulars.

And they are not to rescue the kidnapped NNpC/geologist from UNIMAID.

They where just on “clearance” operation declared days ago by the Chief of Army Staff, Yusuf Buratai.

Please guys let's stop using abusive and vulgar words.

Everybody has right to his opinions, let's not derail the thread, thanks.

If u click the link and read from the blag page , I think they are reffering to mortar fire not artillery.

Its a mistake from the reporting journalist , because the military baths duty has not made these public.

NAF DEPLOYS TO TAKUM TO MAINTAIN PEACE

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has deployed one of its armed helicopters to Takum, Taraba State to give support to the ground forces in the effort to maintain peace in the area. The deployment of the helicopter is also to deter warring communities within the area from further engaging in violent activities. The helicopter is already carrying out armed reconnaissance missions within the Mambilla Plateau and environs.

It will be recalled that pockets of violence broke out recently around the Mambilla Plateau resulting in the loss of lives and property. The communal unrest between graziers and farmers subsequently led to the imposition of a curfew. It therefore became necessary to deploy NAF air assets towards maintaining peace and providing air cover for ground troops. So far, members of the communities have been observed to be going about their business in peace.

Meanwhile, another NAF helicopter will soon be deployed to Kafanchan, Kaduna State in support of the ground forces already working to maintain peace in the area. The helicopter will operate from a new NAF Forward Operating Base being established in Kafanchan, as part of the Federal Government's efforts to ensure lasting peace in Southern Kaduna State.
