This Heli was inducted brand new in 2021, if it had some kind of mechanical issues the pilot would have at least auto rotate and crash land leaving most of the fuselage intact, but from the wreckage it fell straight to the ground meaning pilots were not in control.

I just watch the video of the downed NAF 582 MI 171 helicopter, very sad indeed, it was brought down by Ak 47's and couple of MG, probably the pilot must have been shot.

The North seems to have 11 appointees, the South West has 9 appointees, and South East 1, and South-South 1. That is fairness and equity?

Why didn't you breakdown the North as Northwest, North East and North Central.

Both North and South have 11 appointee's.

If you observe most former President Mohammadu Bihari video in public this man wearing light brown kaftan always walks in front of him ?

Troops uncover ‘ISWAP’s underground armoury’ in Sambisa forest

Troops of the 21 Armoured Brigade, operation Hadin Kai, have reportedly recovered a large cache of arms and ammunition from the Islamic State of the West African Province(ISWAP) in Sambisa forest, Borno state.

According to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication, the troops discovered the underground armoury following the invasion of the Ukuba camp on the fringes of Bama LGA on Saturday.

Military sources were quoted as saying several variants of rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) tubes, SMG rifles, double barrel guns, 50 hand grenade bombs, and five SMK bombs were recovered from the pits where they were concealed.

Several IEDs-making materials, non-electric detonators, IEDs and canister bombs, as well as 183 Shilka rounds, were also recovered from the hidden pits.

One suspected member of the terrorist group was killed while an Ak47 rifle and other items were recovered from him.

The military source was quoted as saying the troops operating along the Sambisa-Timbuktu Triangle and the shores of Lake Chad are “making steady inroads as ground and backed by air support continue to sustain pressures on the terrorists”.

Terrorist hideouts are said to have been cleared in Garno, Alafa, Alafa D, Garin Doctor, Njumia, Izzah, Farisu, Somalia, Ukuba, Garin Glucose, Garin Ba’aba and Bula Abu Amir.

For countries represented here if your country was to go for an attack helicopter in an urban warfare let's say like Ukraine, sentiment aside between the 2 below which would you prefer.

It is certain that there are many capable and dangerous military attack helicopters in the world, but what is the best of the best? The two most capable and lethal attack helicopters are undoubtedly the Boeing AH-643 Apache Guardian that serves for the USAF and the Kamov Ka-52 Alligator that is operated by the Russian Air Force. It would be pretty interesting to find out which is the most powerful and advanced helicopter out of these two.

Just for fun try this

1. Rohan looked out through the window of the 50th floor

Suddendly he leapt through the window

Yet Rohan survived the fall how ?

2. A criminal is given death penalty, he is given choice of 3 rooms , first a room filled with fire , second a room filled with assassins , third a room filled with hungry tigers who haven't eaten for 6 months

Which one did he choose ?

Both came in exams

1. He leaped through the window and stood on the balcony.

2. A room filled with tigers who haven't eaten for 6 month would have been dead already.

Over speeding as usual may have caused a BMW X6 toppled a CBN Proforce APC.
