Soldiers Foil Attack On Oyedepo’s School In Kaduna

Soldiers in the early hours of Monday thwarted an attack on Faith Academy, a secondary school owned by Living Faith Church Worldwide, founded by Bishop David Oyedpo.

The school is not far from a boarding school where many students were abducted in Chikun local government area of Kaduna State.

Daily Trust gathered that gunmen had launched coordinated attacks on both Bethel secondary school and Faith Academy in the early hours of Monday.

While they abducted students at Bethel School, the attack on Faith Academy[img][/img] was foiled.

A security agent confirmed to our correspondent that the gunmen broke into the premises of Faith Academy through the back fence around 1am but were repelled by soldiers, with assistance from the school security team.

A parent, whose son attends the school, told our correspondent that the school management had last week instructed all students to go home, except SS3 students who were preparing for final year exams.

She said adequate provision has been made to move the SS3 students to Barnawa in Kaduna south local government area where they are expected to continue with their studies.

She commended security agents for their timely intervention, saying her son and others who were in the hostel during the attack are safe and have been evacuated from the school premises.

When contacted, the Kaduna State Police Command through the Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Jalige, said he could not confirm it but security agents were busy thwarting attacks by bandits throughout the night.

Israel is overrated. Israel has a very small military. Small Navy & Small Air Force. Despite the high standard of the weapons they possess. They can not stand the full force of the first 4 countries on that list. They just don't have the fund and enough millitary assets to withstand a full scale war with the first four countries on that list.

Israelis military is designed to survive in the middle east. They are far ahead of all the countries sorrounding them (Egypt & Iran manage to close the gap a bit). Lebanese military is extremely weak. Palestine has no military. Syrian military is suffering from arms embargo. Jordan military is extremely small.

The likes of US, Russia, China & India have enough missile, fighter jets and bombers that will overwhelme Israel's defence systems and fighter jets any time any day.

There is a limit US allies can grow (in terms of military). Japan, South Korea, UK, German, Italy, Spain, Israel & Turkey with the exception of France are comfortable being under the shield of the US. They spend less on defence. Imagine US spends 1 trillion dollars on defence yearly (about $750 on their military and abiut & $300+ on homeland security). Imagine it take 3 or 4 European countries (UK, German, Italy...) to build the Eurofighter Typhoon. Likewise the Tiger armour tank. Japan, South Korea & Israel have not being able to build their own fighter jet.

The point about North Korea and its abysmal economy is clearly lost on a lot of these people hyping the pariah shithole.

You need A LOT of money and economic 'shock absorbers' to sustain a war effort for any length of time.

That's same reason I believe Saudi Arabia can't be overlooked as a military power in its own right. It has enough in reserves to sustain a war effort against the likes of Iran for instance.

NewDelhi:

Not many people know the so called iron dome was spearheaded by the USA. They have it and gave Israel the technology and financial support. The USA had it before Israel but they barely use it because "they are too big for it." They have better and more sophisticated missile defence systems . The iron dome is useless against stealth missiles like the UGM-133 Trident and AGM-129A. They are only reliable against low budget missiles from countries like Syria and militias like Hezbollah.

What in the hell are you on abt?

If there is a full blown war it’s the nuclear Arsenals that will save them, they don’t have the personel count!

Go and read abt the invasion by Nazi Germany on USSR in the winter of 1941. The Nazies had the best in everything latest tanks, planes and all but that was suppose to be an easy take of of Moscow within 3 months. The battle lasted more than 8months and they still lost! Even after killing over 5millon Russians.
This invasion single handedly led to Hitlers lose of ww2. Because he lost a lot of his Arsenal!

What saved the Russians?
They couldn’t match the Germans in technology but they out witted them in war tactics. They had more soldiers and had terrain advantage!

So in summary take away the nuclear weapons from Isreal and the backings on NATO and the US and see what will become of it within a month!

Back to the topic!
The list is even a gabbage list…
US riding on past glory!
We all saw a tread here on nairaland on how the Russians simulated a war scenario where they flew jets for over 18hrs and refueling them on air.

These guys are doing more war-like drills
US dey there dey argue how many LGBTQ soldiers them get.

This is my list… my opinion!
1) China (they have the numbers plus tech)
2) US ( still gat some tech and tricks up their sleeves)
3) Russia ( stubborn as fvck- never lost a major war!)
4) Britain (they have the highest navy fleet and are loyal as fvck to the queen)
5) India (the underdogs + have some tech + giving china headache)

Honorable mentions
North Korea (crazy guys no one dares go near them)
France ( use to have good navy fleets but they’re just slackers now, all they do is hide under NATO and do shht)

lapazi:


Don’t mind these clowns, they won’t do research.
If you probe them further now, they will tie it to religion. Just give Iran one single nuke and see.

That’s why the US will never allow any of the surrounding nations to have nuclear weapons!

sangresan:


Stop fooling yourself. Many of Israel's near-peer adversaries are under one military sanction or the other. So, their strength is often overhyped. The 2006 Lebanon War has exposed their operational weaknesses.

Besides, most of Israel's military hardware are US inventions and they always play the victim card to get more. That's the only edge they have over countries like Iran and Egypt.


To show how ignorant you're, you even dismissed North Korea's military strength. Sit down and read about the Korean War. Also, read about the ongoing Yemeni War.

You are quite knowledgeable with the state of Israel defence systems.
I have read about them recently. I do like the way you made your points though.
Your post reminds me of book I read about Mossad few weeks ago.

FoolishBoy419:


So in your mind, Israel is more powerful than India, and Saudi Arabia is more powerful than the likes of Iran, Pakistan, and North Korea. Lol

There's nothing you can't see on nairaland. Israel more powerful than China in aerial combat

I need your brand of weed

The Israeli military used a plane armed with a high-powered laser to intercept and shoot down unmanned aircraft in flight in a first-of-its-kind test for the Israeli armed forces, which are constantly searching for new ways to counter airborne threats such as rockets and drones from Gaza and elsewhere.

The High-Power Laser Weapon System was installed on an aircraft equipped with advanced sensors and tracking systems and used to engage multiple drones at various ranges and altitudes.


During testing, conducted last week by the Israeli Ministry of Defense and the local defense firm Elbit Systems, the aircraft "successfully intercepted and destroyed 100% of the UAVs launched during the test," the defense ministry said.

The Israeli Ministry of Defense tweeted that Israel is "among the first countries in the world to demonstrate such capabilities." The armed forces released a video of the testing.



"This is the first phase in a multi-year program to develop an advanced airborne laser system that will add another layer to Israel's multi-tier defense array, complementing the capabilities of the Iron Dome, David's Sling and Arrow systems," the Israeli defense ministry said.

During the latest round of intense fighting between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza, ground-based interceptor systems such as the Iron Dome were used to intercept incoming rockets, as well as enemy unmanned aerial vehicles, and these vital systems, for the most part, performed exceptionally well.

But expending a costly interceptor missile on a potentially inexpensive drone is not as efficient as a laser, which is one reason militaries around the world have been increasingly looking to air-, land-, and sea-based lasers for countering drones.


Commenting on the recent testing, Brig. Gen. Yaniv Rotem, the head of the military's research and development efforts, said that "this is the first time in the State of Israel, and perhaps in the world, that this was done," characterizing the test as a "groundbreaking technological achievement," The Jerusalem Post reported.


The general said the weapon is "powerful and precise" and can intercept targets "no matter the weather conditions."

During the intercept trials last week, the aircraft armed with a laser was able to shoot down targets within a range of about 1 kilometer, but the aim is to eventually extend the weapon's range to tens, possibly even hundreds, of kilometers away. That kind of capability is likely still years away.

The Israeli defense ministry also hopes to expand this capability to other aerial platforms with the potential for offensive and defensive use.

Israel is overrated.

LordVoldermort:
Japan is not even allowed to have an offensive military so how did they get so high?
Pakistan, France, Britain, Israel could have filled that last spot
