NN SBS somewhere in the North

GabrielYulaw:
I watched the video yesterday night and was hella confused. It was this morning that someone explained to me that the first RPG put on the tank was meant to disable the Trophy APS. The second RPG was then fired for a mobility/mission kill. That's rather ingenious but dangerous.

As for the IDF losing large numbers, it probably had to do with their lack of recent wars. In 2006 when the Party of Good took hostages and triggered a war, the IDF were beaten silly. That was because the most experience their soldiers had was beating or shooting unarmed Palestinians. But after that war, they went back to the drawing board and got their shit together. But since then, the IDF has not faced the kind of opposition that the Party of God gave them in 2006 and their expertise and awareness has atrophied and some on Twitter now call them TikTok soldiers . Plus they don't regard Palestinian as humans and that leads makes them discount their skills and intelligence.
Dunno how this will play out, but it is not good.

[/b]Edit 1: I forgot to add the impact of new tech. Drones are now premier and the war in Ukraine has shown how even the simplest drones can disable or kill armored vehicles, or fvck up troops. Hamas has learned lessons from that war and is applying them[b].

The IDF has always been on conflict and when it comes to Urban warfare they are one of the best, based on lessons learnt from past conflict.

The thing is; Battle field dynamics is changing fast, This is a situation where militias use cheap qaudcoptors from china and also cheap RPG from Iran/China to take out a MBT worth millions of Euro.

Battle field Commanders would learn to be very dynamic and adaptive to new Battle field dynamics. Remember when Russia invaded Ukraine they lost men and Armored vehicles to ambush and kamikaze drones but when the Russians adapted the change the introduction of various drones from Iran and Russias Zala Lacent kamikaze did alot of damage to western/European vehicles.
A time will come where MBT will be completely limited by this cheap technology in Urban warfare, weve also seen it in the Sudan/RSF conflict. Like I said the tactics of lonely MBT is a sitting dock for the enemy.

What was the target? And why Kano?

A high profile terrorist leader was eliminated and was also planning an attack on one of the villagesbin the area.

Military Airstrikes eliminated over 160 terrorists in Borno and Yobe States 

By: Zagazola Makama 

At Least 160 Jamā'at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da'wah wa'l-Jihād Boko Haram  fighters were killed and their hidden camps destroyed following a wave of airstrikes conducted by Nigerian Air Force fighter jets in Borno and Yobe states.

The devastating airstrikes were conducted on Thursday, November 2, 2023, by the Air Component Operation HADIN KAI, in two  identified terrorist enclaves. The first one was around BULABULIN along KOMADUGU-YOBE RIVER near Geidam in Yobe State.

Intelligent sources, told Zagazola Makama, a Security Analyst and a Counter-Insurgency Expert in the Lake Chad region, that the target in BULABULIN along KOMADUGU-YOBE RIVER, was established as a major hub of the Boko Haram activities from where the terrorists recently coordinated attacks on local communities of NGURO KAYAYA of Gaidam LGA which led to the killing of 16 persons and another IED attack against relatives and friends of the affected persons who went to conduct burials and mourn the deceased persons in the village.

The sources said that the Airforce detailed an airborne electro-optical system to attack the target area.

He said the air strikes were synchronized with the ground troops in the area for maximum effect, recording devastating hits on the Boko Haram  hideout and killing more than 100  of their fighters, destroying 2 gun trucks and some structures. 

The second set of  airstrikes was at  DEGBAWA village on the Mandara Mountains in Gwoza LGA in Borno states where the airstrikes targeted a group of over 60 terrorists including some of their field Commanders reported to be holding a meeting on how to attack some military locations around Gwoza and its environs.

On-the-ground sources revealed that  about 60  terrorists loyal to the notorious terrorists’ kingpin, Ali Ngulde were obliterated while the few surviving terrorists scampered for safety with various degrees of wounds. 

The source further revealed that the troops of Operation HADIN KAI have been charged to intensify intelligence led coordinated combined actions of both the ground and air force to annihilate the terrorists and end to terrorism in the North East as soon as possible.

GabrielYulaw:
Hassan Nasrallah will give a speech on Friday. He will either announce the full scale participation of the Party of God in the ongoing conflict, or its continuance in low-intensity conflict. This situation can escalate fast, especially if Ansar Allah decides to start targeting American infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, Jordan or elsewhere and those countries begin retaliating, or if Iranian-affiliated militias in the region begin scaling up their attacks on American interests and bases.
Zinolesky, abi Zelenskyy is already crying about being neglected and the longer this goes on the more the West will focus on the Middle East and leave Russia alone to wallop its recalcitrant neighbor. Putin must be grinning like a Cheshire cat now

The extent of support this millitia group gets is somehow questionable? I watched a video on X of how an Israeli airforce F35 intercepts a cruise missile heading for Israel. This war is going to excaliate in no time, because the Israeli Defence Force that I know will not back down till most of this tunnels are found and destroyed.

The Israeli forces are loosing soldiers on unprecedented numbers, I think they have to change there tactics, just watched a video now of how these millitant getting close to tank an destroying it. No IFV or soldiers protecting tanks from being shot from close range. The full war hasn't began and the casualties from IDF is high, this will be a long war for them.

How many did we ordered.

Odunayaw:
We paid for 6 under GMB but has all been delivered?

We only received 4 units

GeneralFarouq:
Lonh awaited... I wonder where these would be employed.

Definitely the N.E theatre

Odunayaw:
Just took me back to discussion on Beegsblog days.

It is not like all things suddenly fell into place. The difference between now and then is that we decided to take our self seriously and grow some balls.

Next we need to put the foot on the ground about the rest of the Mi35m we haven't gotten

I don't think will be purchasing more MI35m. For me we should try and add more MI-171 for logistic & Medic Evac.

OFF TOPIC



Yemeni(Houtis) Islamic movement has declared war on Israeli, I just watched some video of Missile been lunched into Israel and drones to monitor Israeli military movement.

Alot of Islamic movement are pledging support for Palestinians/HAMAS in terms of aids, funds, equipment and young men willing to go and fight even it means their eventual final faith.
Western powers and European countries are also delivering Cargo/equipment and other technical support to Israeli.
This will be a full scale war for Israeli, with some powerful Arab countries folding their arms and watching from distance. The attention has now shifted from Russia/Ukraine to Israeli/Palestinians conflicts.
The coming world events will be interesting?

The mods deleted my comment.

I repeat, Hamas is stronger than most African militaries. They can easily defeat all West African militaries combined.

This is a FACT.

which one be this one

can HAMAS defeat Egypt talk alone coalition of Arab powerful countries in North Africa ?

AskiaHarem:
Unfortunately with the political situation in Niger we can expect more of this in the foreseeable future and it’s going to be ignored/downplayed for those same political reasons…

truth

ISWAP have released photos of a devastating attack on Niger forces near the village of Takanamat located in the west of Niger where about 16 soldiers were killed by the terrorists.

The terrorists showcased dozens of captured weapons.

Nigerian Airstikes kills 22 Insurgents in North-East

Air strikes against identified terrorists’ hideouts and enclaves in Borno State, Northeast Nigeria, continued over the weekend unabated.

Sequel to intelligence received from Land Component of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) on 29 October 2023, that about 22 terrorists in a gun truck and 2 motorcycles were sighted near Marte, NAF aircraft of the Air Component of OPHK were immediately dispatched to interdict the location. After scanning the area, the terrorists were sighted at about 22 km west of Marte and moving northwards towards Munguno. After trailing the terrorists for about 70 minutes, the terrorists in the gun truck and 2 motorcycles stopped underneath a tree, probably to refuel or evade being seen. The targets were subsequently engaged with a huge ball of fire engulfing the area observed afterward, destroying the gun struck and motorcycles with no sign of movement observed afterward.

The huge explosion could be indicative that the point where the terrorists hid was likely a logistics base or their vehicle was conveying weapons or explosive ordinances.

The failed strategies adopted by terrorists to evade detection and the fire power of the Land and Air Components of Operation Hadin Kai by moving from one point to another is indicative of their inability to hold ground and pose significant threats to military formations or pick on soft civilian targets at will.

They continued to exhibit desperation and weakness through their conduct.

As recent as 28 October 2023, while fielding questions from State House correspondents, Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State noted that the security situation in Borno State has improved by more than 85 percent while economic activities have picked up.

This attests to the successes of the efforts emplaced by the Armed Forces of Nigeria and other security agencies. According to the Governor, “As the Chief Security Officer of Borno State, we are doing well in terms of security as there has been serious improvement in our security situation and I want to commend the Service Chiefs for their efforts.”

The Honourable Minister of Defence (HMOD), Mohammed Badaru Abubakar and the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar are currently in Turkiye to facilitate the speedy delivery of the T-129 ATAK helicopters acquired for the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) by the Federal Government. As part of programmes lined up for the visit, the HMOD held talks with his Turkish counterpart, Lieutenant General Yasar Guler (Rtd), on critical bilateral and defence cooperation issues. General Guler promised the HMOD of every support required from the Turkish military and defence companies to further strengthen and accelerate the defeat of terrorism and other criminal challenges facing Nigeria.

The Minister and the CAS also visited some selected Turkish companies, including Turkish Aerospace Industries, MKE, Aselsan and Roketsan. These companies are among highly rated global defence companies renowned for the production of quality defence and military equipment. While at these companies, the HMOD called for improved synergy between the companies and Nigeria through the transfer of defence technology to Nigeria.

Recall that the Federal Government procured 6 T-129 ATAK helicopters from Turkish Aerospace Industry, out of which 2 are to be delivered to the NAF in the coming weeks. The remaining helicopters are expected before the end of Second Quarter of 2024.
