davefurn:Even the patriot system has failed so far in the ongoing war in Ukraine. The US Army initially said the Patriot achieved an 80 percent success rate in Saudi Arabia and 50 percent in Israel. Those claims later were scaled back to 70 percent and 40 percent. [/b]For me Neither the Patriot nor the S-400 are as effective as claimed[b] |

[/b]OPERATION LAKE SANITY 2 CONTINUES DESPITE TERRORIST PROPAGANDA [b] As Operation Lake Sanity 2 progresses, the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) is addressing recent propaganda spread by ISWAP terrorists urging Kukawa and neighboring communities to flee or face attack. Unfortunately, some media outlets have inadvertently amplified this message, overlooking its implications. This reprehensible propaganda is a blatant act of intimidation, a desperate move by a group on the verge of defeat. As multinational troops intensify operations, such propaganda is likely to increase, making it crucial for communities to remain steadfast, vigilant, and confident in their safety. The MNJTF and Nigerian Operation HADIN KAI troops are firmly committed to safeguarding Lake Chad Basin communities. They are actively pursuing Boko Haram terrorists, moving swiftly and decisively to neutralize any threats. Their presence and continued operations serve as a robust shield against this menace. The terrorists' so-called ultimatum is a clear sign of their frustration and diminishing power. Their capability to conduct ground operations has been significantly impaired, pushing them towards using scare tactics like Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) at every opportunity. By issuing such threats, they aim to spread fear and disrupt the lives of Lake Chad Basin residents. It is crucial not to succumb to their tactics but instead to demonstrate resolve and fortitude. We urge the residents of Kukawa and neighboring communities to remain united and vigilant. Report any suspicious activities to the troops immediately. Collective vigilance and cooperation are essential during Operations Lake Sanity 2 and beyond. Our unity is our strength, and together, we can ensure the security of the Lake Chad basin region.

[/b]PRESS RELEASE ON ATTACK ON TROOPS OF OPERATION UDO KA AT CHECKPOINT IN ABIA STATE ON 30 MAY 2024[b] Troops of OP UDO KA deployed at Obikabia Junction Checkpoint in Obingwa Local Government Areas adjourning Aba metropolis in Abia State were attacked and sadly killed by terrorist of IPOB/ ESN. The troops deployed to enforce peace in the area and protect the citizens were massed attacked by the terrorist. The terrorist in 3 tinted Prado Toyota SUVs and others from builtup areas surrounding the checkpoint, sprang a surprise attack on the checkpoint. The attack sadly took the lifes of 5 personnel of the armed forces killed in action. The armed forces mourns the death of these troops as each and every soldier lost in battle is a terrible loss. Meanwhile, investigation are ongoing concerning the attack. Overall, it must be reinterated that the lifeline of the terrorist is the people and this situation is no exemption. Winning the war without the support of the people is close to impossible. The IPOB capitalised on this to perpetrate attacks on the troops. The situation leaves more to be desired. Accordingly, it is absolutely imperative that the military retaliate against this dastardly act against troops. The military would be fierce in its response. We would bring overwhelming military pressure on the group to ensure their total defeat. EDWARD BUBA Major General Director Defence Media Operations |
GabrielYulaw:I do not supoort oppression on the general populate or innocent civilians, but the IPOB and killing of uniform men is getting out of hand the South. This was out terrorism started in the N.E, I don't see anything wrong in this show of force, it's not has if the T129 ATAK helicopters was raining down fire on a neighborhood or an area. And how do you know it has only been deployed to the Southern part of Nigeria, these are hardware that could be rapidly deployed anywhere. Lastly I saw the video of NA arresting civilians and of which most where women, on my own side I condemn these andbits somehow unprofessional. But keys look at the other side of the coin, when such arrest are made they will get valuable information from this arrested people. Because this IPOB militant are not ghost and they are people's relative, who live among humans too. For me I see nothing bad in deploying these assets to hot conflicts zones, they could be quickly deployed to other theatres too. |

The COAS pointed out that drawing from his Command Philosophy, the CED remains pivotal in ensuring the sustenance of equipment in the inventory of the Nigerian Army.
