ATGM is a pretty unnecessarily expensive way to take out a Technical no? Considering the sheer numbers of Techies you can deduce how much we will end up spending per contact.
Anyway, how u put it now makes me understand you better.

How did "TROOPS OF SPECIAL FORCES SCHOOL & 27 TASK FORCE BRIGADE INFLICT SERIOUS DESTRUCTION TO BH TERRORISTS"?

Boko came with 4 gun trucks and lost 5 man while we lost 4 men with 5 wounded. The maths doesn’t add up: Boko lost 5 untrained and cheap souls, rubbish individuals good for nothing for they were of no use to their parents, community, religion, Nation or planet. Nigeria lost 4 expensively trained soldiers, soldiers valuable both practically and socially to the Nation and the world. It would be great if the gun trucks were destroyed but I take it they were not since Boko lost only five men. Or were the trucks empty? Perhaps the article was written by someone in Hausa and coherence was lost in translation – article certainly has a quality and style too amateurish otherwise.

RIP Soldiers.

As long as the IVM trucks can match the performance of the Toyota then why not, I’m sure they are cheaper and more economical.

Those Boko boys really saw shege in Damasak. Kudos to 145 bn.
The pics of slain BHTs are soo gory.

Bokoharam tactics now is hit hard. Capture Ammunitions and fall out of the area. Gudumbali now under our control.

My question? Where did over 300 bokoharam go after the attack? If ISWAP can strike a whole local government, why can't the military on an offensive dislodge them out of their own location?

I'm only concerned about the stolen weapons. They're gearing up for something but who am I? Just a WC.

I have been under an intense fire fight with these bastards but as it is, what I have learnt is then know who they're attacking. They know these guys on ground are armed with riffles, gun trucks and RPG.

They come with grenade launchers, rocket etc. My question why is grenade launcher in limited use by our own? Proper usage of these equipments is also necessary too. My opinion is, find a way to put SF with some of these guys with limited coin experience.

I have been with MSF and came under attack at our temporary location. First thing you do is to spread out. Everyone knows the right place to face. Repelling the attack heavily with gun trucks, mortars from my side and GL from the msf.

why did the Nigerian army even discard the FN FAL for the ak47

At some point you just have to sit back, calm down and look at basic facts. There is no shame in calling out B.S, even if it comes from your own leaders.

“This is one issue –prototype helicopter that we are very much concerned about and we hope to have it on the ground very soon,’’ Mr. Buratai said.

Look at that statement, analyse it. Assuming you follow global military news, compare it to what you know about the defence industry. Go to sites likes Jane's Defence, look at how they report step by step on projects.

"Bell Helicopters wins contract to develop.....Bell begins design of....Bell to start test flights in October....Bell to begin manufacturing year end." Step by step by step, over a number of years that it takes to produce such a complicated system.

Now 2 months ago your Army chief says you'll have a helicopter on the ground very soon. Is it 10th generation stealth that no one knew about it? Do you recall many years ago on this forum when "Nigeria was designing & testing guided missiles/rockets".... what happened to them? There was lots of noise, 6 years later...nothing.

Unless I don't know what a LUH is, don't just swallow information without filtering it.

ssaengine:
That's the thing I don't understand about Henry. One minute he is talking perfect sense, the next he makes a shocker of a statement like that. 10 years minimum before Nigeria could ever design & produce one. Rotary wing is an order of magnitude more complicated than fixed wing aircraft.

Germany fought the entire world not just one country and if they didn't invade the Soviet Union they would most likely have conquered Europe.....They literally took on the entire world and almost won thanks to thier superior Defence industry and their much more advanced weapons.

kikuyu1:
IS THAT SO? I did hear they were dropping the SCAR L but not the captured 7.62 NATO H version seen here with a Talib . I can only find wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_SCAR#Users
There are at least 19 other users,btw.
As of early 2015, the FN SCAR is in service in over 20 countries.[14]
Btw,when the enemy uses your gear you're doing smth right! This must be an interesting story-you can see the sidemounted surefire and a laser target designator.

frer8:
MANY OTHERS SHARE THIS OPINION.IT IS UP THERE WITH THE AK 47.DO SOME RESEARCH! RANKS MAY DIFFER SLIGHTLY BUT WE HAVE COUNTRIES SUCH AS USA USING THIS AS STANDARD FOR THEIR SPECIAL FORCES.MY FAVOURITE ARE THE FN SCAR,M16 AND THE AK47

Iblawi1:
Yes bro, even some NAF guys still believe we might still go for Apache helicopter. Seems there is huge difference BTW the mi-35 and Apache helicopter.

If these guns can bring down the Su-25, I am wondering how the highly priced tucano will fare.

I know for a fact that this kind of criminal behavior would be prosecuted in the US. It doesn't work, leads to low morale, creates cycle of violence,.... Africaken please don't take things so personal, this is just an example of how bad things are in the Kenyan military. Crappy equipment, theft of monies, low morale, promotion based on tribe rather than merit, low pay,.....

Tinfoil:
This is barbaric, why do the drill sergeants have to assault the recruits. Professional militaries are able to train without physically assaulting their recruits, I wouldn't be surprised if the women are often rapped

Innoson should make them into something like the Humvees and armor then into a good standard.
