My opinion. Maybe some gunshots from nowhere caused this confusion. And most of the gunshots were sounding so close, maybe to scare away those that fired the first shot as is usual with our security people. The DSS have operatives with diff skill sets, the question is, are these ones capable as body guards or close protection teams, this is because we have a penchant for square pegs in round holes. The gov too get odeshi or e too stubborn, na "get down" dey initially hard am. Make una tell am say hot lead no dey hear odeshi o.

My oh my. I saw one effing animation on YouTube. Name is arma 3 the invasion of Germany World War 3. The clips are interesting. High intensity warfare man

Yea! Okepeki the guy in armoured corp now.
For that reserve list issue I think it was one guy from Imo state his uncle Maj.Gen Onwuategwu then Commandant that pressured defence Hq because of him they called up all reserve candidates. The guy sef buy job last year he would have almost been dismissed I think they demoted him.
I just dey laugh people wey dey say na 100% merit, it's even now they increase the number to almost 15 every Dick Tom and Harry dey get am easily before it was 4 or 5 per state.

Oga sir, nepotism is still high in the military,but reduced a little bit in it's selection process for intakes. Reason for this reduction is the COIN operations in the North East.

Your soldiers are massacred by cold blooded murderers you feed them with firewood rice
and "Rehabilitate same vampires" in 6 months a feat even the best Psychologist, Counselors etc in the US military can't achieve.

Make we dey decieve ourselves for this country.

I just couldn't cry.
They say people come
Say people go
This particular gallant men were extra special
I know that you might be gone
And the world may not know
Still I see you celestial
Like a lion you roared
And rode like a god
Like an Eagle in circle
Perfect above
But the changing of winds
And the way water flows
Life is surely like the falling of snow
Those that love you are going to miss you
We know that
May your lights everglow

An ode to this gallant men.
Excerpt from everglow, Coldplay.

A salesman like Komekn will get the best job of his career in a coffin shop.
its only a coffin that can be sold successfully with cheap lies.

He just lied to you that French convoy has never been hit but It was in the news 7 months ago, France lost a soldier in the hit, that's in Mali, perhaps by the time we research other French engagements, then you rather bury his coffin of lies.
Was he not the clown that told us the A10 wasn't fit for purpose, lol, the guy enjoys monkeying about with peurile lies.

Hahaha. Me I no dey this one o.

Faithful007:
the air force chief is really doing well, especially in keeping the aircraft serviceability rate higher than many other countries. The CNS is trying to up his game. As for the army chief, I don't know what to say.

"good to go."

cutievik:


Why TF are those structures still standing? they are majorly always still standing from most strikes we see. The impacts seems minimal.

With thermobaric bombs even the structures will warn boko never to come near them again.

komekn:


There is a saying a picture says a thousand words.

The picture you posted was a M1151 HMMWV which is the armoured Humvee.

So bit of a contradiction from you.

Why would anybody want a soft skinned pick up in a hostile war zone ❓ But to answer your question l would want none of them both of them are a liability. Buy if l had to make choice it would be the Toyota. The Humvee is very heavy and slow bigger and a much easier target.

Mali lost near 50 troops a few days ago when Jihadists ambushed them. Why don't these ISWAP affiliates never attack French convoys.

There is something to be learned here in asking the question WHY.

You a lawyer or a salesman? You seem like those kind of people that could sell egg to a chicken. An "unintelligent chicken" for that matter. Take this as a satire, no insult intended please. Peace.

Xbee007:

What platform do you think was used in this airstrike?

I wish it was 3 helicopter gunships on the run. ISWAP will no know there's a price to pay for every attack on a Nigerian military base.

komekn:


When we talk of humvees l don't think anybody is talking about civilian variant buy the unarmoured Humvee.

As regard 14.5mm caliber bullets and or 12.7 even our MRAP will not stop that particular calibre.

Boko and ISWAP fighters in the main have light weapon indeed 95% + of thier fighter will have the ubiquitous AK47.

So if you have armoured vehicles you have effectively mitigated against 95% of the threat against you. Then you have to find away to deal with the gun trucks, Rpg7's and IED's.

That will reduce DRASTICALLY our casualty rate in the first instance.

I'm still telling you there's no difference between the unarmored Humvee and the civilian variant except the civilian type is made for luxury. I could remember in Iraq the US military had to weld steel plates on some of the unarmored Humvee just to make them relatively safe.

joshingjosh:




So if I understand you properly, you prefer A Hilux, maybe since Humvee can't stop .50caliber, I believe your Hilux can stop AA Guns as well as even 105mm Round

You didn't understand me "properly", there was no place I wrote about preferring the Hilux to the Humvee. What I meant is, there's no difference between a normal /not armored /un-armoured Humvee and a Hilux. Haven't you seen a civilian Humvee on our streets? The difference is one is "tushed up" and the other is not.

SamuelAnyawu:


The Humvee is far better na

Who told you that? A standard Humvee will not stop any kind of projectile. It is no different in that respect to a civilian SUV.

An up-armored Humvee can stop essentially all pistol rounds, and most common rifle rounds (7.62x39mm, 5.45x39mm, 7.62x54mmR, 7.62x51mm NATO). It will NOT stop a .50 caliber round, nor will it protect against anti-tank weapons or IEDs.

FieldMarshall06:


Wonderful frigate. ... it doesn't look balanced in water.

Abi na my eyes ni

Yes it's true o. Remember that DMX ruff ryder anthem video with the motorbike and ATV stunts? The ship is stunting like that.

LTGEN:

The answer is no
because unlike what goes on in Nigeria,
Those Military officials can expect public shaming loss of rank and
Execution by Firing Squad
That is why some of us advocate for G2 to G2.
A well known middle man in the last administration is sitting in Nigeria doing nothing
in China he would of been fertilizer material.

Any official you see being prosecuted in China has lost favour with the power that be or is the fall guy. Anyway there's no need for any back and forth.

Even the US Govt that shouts to high heaven about transparency and corruption is also corrupt in some transactions.

Does anyone know how much was budgeted for the recently acquired equipment from China?


Why do we post here as if we don't know how things work in international transactions. Simply cos transactions are between govts doesn't mean there isn't corruption. Will some people in the Chinese Govt be willing to play ball with some people in the Nigerian Govt if given opportunity? The answer is a big yes.

There are so many things the army is not providing for front line troops. Appropriate uniforms, bulletproof vests, combat boots so many, many basic things.

You see a Navy guy in the field, you see an Air Force personnel, and you wonder if army guys are from Chad.

Lol@Chad.

Bidexii, why is the army not providing tents for it's troop?

komekn:


Peoples lives are at stake indeed people have died and are dying and you call it fun.

Please for Christ sakes, is this the army headquarters? If you want change channel your input to the right place. Your case is no different from a child that wants breast milk but keeps going to his dad's breast. If you still don't understand please read the name of the thread, read it again and read it again until you understand. I've cautioned myself never to reply to your post ever since you made that boorish statement, " I know nothing about drones ", but here I go again replying to the all knowing armchair field Marshall.

nemesis8u:


My question , why are the people from both sides killing each other for the so called mad leaders ?

So it begs the question as to who is really mad - the leaders or the people, isn't it ?

It should be easier for the mad leaders to sit down and iron out their differences. Most soldiers don't want to go to war but because they are obligated and ve a sense of duty they ve no other option. And also refusing an order in the military could result to court martial and execution. I understand your point though.

There are fifth columnists here. All they want is for the country to go up in flames to achieve their selfish interests. There are people here that are unreasonably uncouth and some do the same in a "wayoish" way. Before some days/weeks /months back I don't see any groups of people that support each other,the thread is dynamic ;a person supporting you today might be at your neck tomorrow because of differences in opinion.

@komken, you also make innuendos and your posts are too repetitive that they have become drab. Your constant verbiage here will not make any difference to the Nigerian army. Don't come here and lecture us about patriotism. If you really want a change I suggest you write directto the Nigerian army or if possible carry a placard and lead a one man protest, that's patriotism. This thread is for the fun of it, nothing more, nothing less.

libyans both camps have sold there country to foreigners , the two camps offer the futur management of oil and gaz in libya to the societies of the countries which would help them to control the country

Hafter on his side has the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and now Russia . with russian's Wagner mercenary private military company

Government of National Accord (GNA) has with him turkey , qatar , they are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood ideology , thats why egypt and golf countries are against them .

Turkish are saying that russia sent about 6 mig 29 and two sukhoi 24 with russian contractors pilots , Turkey are deploying air defense systems near misrata (MIM-23 Hawk spotted on satelitte ) ,

the Egyptian president SISI , threatened to intervene militarily in libya against the GNA.

Algeria changed its constitution which prohibited its army from carrying out operations beyond its borders surely because of the situation in Libya, to respond to any kind of agression towards its territory or airspace .

so it's going to be a big mess these next months .

Mad leaders everywhere. As long as they are not the ones in the trenches they won't mind sending people to die.

If I were the army I will make leaflets advising BH not to surrender cos they are about to be KIA or captured and skinned alive, no any third option. Imagine after the atrocities you want to surrender, God punish you there.

Sometimes,we need people like him.

Radical you say? I respect @komken' opinion but he seem to want to shove it down our throats. We here are all arm chair generals.If we could make him the Minister of Defence or CDS or COAS for him to prove his mettle, we would,unfortunately we can't.This discourse on the A29 is repeating and boring.
