I don't understand why they had to install the secondary weapon on the BRT, it is to have something to use for soft targets? Wouldn't it prevent the main gun from rotating effectively 180 degrees?
I stumbled on this post on Twitter and I could not believe how desperately gullible supporters of this government can be and how far the can go to sow deceit.
jteku: Nigerian Air Force Bell 412 Helicopter Airlift's Chadian Army General during joints operations .
This picture was shared by NAF in March 2019. I hope u are not trying to imply it is recent. One Defence Nigeria blog is using it to deceive people on Twitter. Besides I am aware that Nigeria is actively involved in the lasted Chad onslaught against BHT
Pls does anyone know who is behind the Twitter handle Defense Nigeria blog. The guy just dey subtly deceive ignorant Nigerians; uploading old pics without pointing out that they are old

Odunayaw: While boys are biting dust in NE, this man is creating new "special forces" battalions and doing push ups!
Here lies the problem...proliferation of what should not be called special forces. The airforce too is not exempted. Sometimes these guys end up been used to do police work
Ill equipped both strategy wise and technically. Besides, the general complained of the vehicles not suited for the terrain. I think the Ara is doing well. I would want to think the generals will ride in the Ara as it appears to be the only reasonable piece of equipment in the video
Unfortunately, latest information on this incident points to a Blue-on-Blue "Friendly fire" incident. No Insurgent was identified in the vicinity of the force at the initial stage of the encounter. A trained Helic pilot who the Tactical Air Controller was among the casualties.
kabe1: Wide array of armoured vehicles produced in Nigeria showing mine resistant vehicles, infantry patrol, off-road vehicle and special forces vehicles.
ecomog1990: "BOOK ON THE BIOGRAPHY AND STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP OF GENERAL TY BURATAI LAUNCH TODAY-
A book on Biography and Strategic Leadership of Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai - A TOOLS-KIT FOR TRAINING FUTURE MILITARY LEADERS was launched today."
Worldwide Army Commanders who won their own wars are listed, and one that failed to win is smuggled into the same list as a successful hero-commander, even photo placed in the centre like Mohammed Ali The greatest of them all.
Nigeria NEVER rewards MERIT, all you need to be named a hero is just to play the game on the field even if you scored 3 own goals against your own team.
I just saw this on Twitter, I have read the last flight by a Biafran pilot. I think it is the best book so far I have read on the civil war. I hope I can get to read this too.
Sizzorkay: Why do they always invite the President to these things? 3 platforms, that's it? man, make it 12 or 24, then we can rejoice better Just saying. Not worth the trip
Odunayaw: As usual, The Generals keep lying when it matters most! Unfortunately, our sad excuse of a Leader will be happy to smile underneath that cap and say " changi has come walahi" Always ready to believe anything!
That said, what "AFV troop carrier/Medium weight fast modern tank" are you yapping about?
'Achievements of the Buhari led Administration' that's the jargon the they use.
