bidexiii: Don’t let us deceive our selves, even if terrorism in Nigerian is been fought by Russia, American and Israeli military they will not put end to it. They might even make things worst which is there trade mark. Terrorism is an ideology you can only reduce it to the minimal. France is still fighting terrorism with us in West-Africa, it has been 7 years already. America has been fighting terrorism in Somalia since 1993. Because Chad killed 20 Boko-Haram and uncovered arms, ignorant Nigerians are using it as an opportunity to talk arrant nonsense. Forgetting that the Nigerian military does this everyday. |

bidexiii: Like you said based on your own opinion ! Stop deceiving yourself, [/b]“US simply no longer wants to fight not that they can’t win”.[b] where did you get that from or who told you that, infact the US loves to fight war and flex there muscles and it’s in there DNA to fight and history is there to show it. When the French left Vietnam the US took over to flex there muscles, we all know what happen last last, they withdrew there troops it was a stalemate. Same thing is happening in the Middle East the Russian couldn’t defeat the mujahideen, backed by the United States now the Russians where tired and left. The same thing is happening to the US, they want to make peace with every terrorist there once sponsored. Infact the Americans & NATO are making the Middle East worst by the day including Lydia, it’s becoming worst by the day even an unstable mind knows that with all there super power.
Dude war is not a game the Americans are tired and have reached there “diminishing law of return” ? Over 18 years and still on battling terrorism globally. Sure some politicians and war mongers, defense contractors wouldn’t want an end to these dirty wars. But the soldiers who risks the odds are fucking tired Fantastic post!! |

kabe1: Not taking anything away from the Chadian army, but PR stunts like what we have seen from Idris Deby does not qualify as victory over BHT.
Before slamming the Nigerian military, let us remember that the Nigerian Air Force conducts almost daily bombing of BHT with more dead BHT than what the Chadians are showing.
This is a fact.
20 dead BHT doesn't signal the end of Boko-Haram.

jpphilips: You are speaking from your personal opinion not based on previous & present events. Before the Talibans agreed to come to the negotiation table, US dealt a severe blow to the Haqqani rebels presently reinforcing the Talibans, so the US has proved all that has to be proven fire power wise. The real issue presently is that the fight is getting unpopular at home & there are no serious objective left so what are they supposed to fight for? The US simply no longer wants to fight not that they can't win, there is no objective left, there is no political, economic or other strategic objective left there. With most speaking on the assumption that their remarks would not become public, U.S. officials acknowledged that their warfighting strategies were fatally flawedSeveral of those interviewed described explicit and sustained efforts by the U.S. government to deliberately mislead the public. They said it was common at military headquarters in Kabul — and at the White House — to distort statistics to make it appear the United States was winning the war when that was not the case. |

Since 2001, more than 775,000 U.S. troops have deployed to Afghanistan, many repeatedly. Of those, 2,300 died there and 20,589 were wounded in action, according to Defense Department figures. |

U.S. officials constantly said they were making progress. They were not, and they knew it, an exclusive Post investigation found.A trove of government documents obtained by The Washington Post reveals that senior U.S. officials failed to tell the truth about the war in Afghanistan throughout the 18-year campaign, making rosy pronouncements they knew to be false and hiding unmistakable evidence the war had become unwinnable."[b]We were devoid of a fundamental understanding of Afghanistan — we didn’t know what we were doing,” [/b]Douglas Lute, a three-star Army general who served as the White House’s Afghan war czar during the Bush and Obama administrations, told government interviewers in 2015. He added: “What are we trying to do here? We didn’t have the foggiest notion of what we were undertaking.” |

neyobills: US is Iswap biggest enemy however they do not owe Nigeria any obligation to share,intel with us since we can as well build our drone base and they are not stopping us at least even if there is corruption its our internal problem and wont meddle into anything thats not affecting their foreign policies,the reason for the US bases in Niger is Uraniam deposits.
I totally commend the Tchadian Army for the offensive they are about the best in guerilla warfare in Africa so im not surprised however it should not be an avenue to bash the NA,even tho they have their downsides however they must have recovered way more ammunition cache from BHT besides its a MNJTF op which is commanded by a Nigerian so we can be,more than sure NA boots and assets were on ground in the offensive and its not yet eureka for Tchad too anyway so we totally need to grow up and cut the NA some slack sometimes.
The weapon cache doesnt looks like NA ammo IMO most probably spills from Mali or Libya maybe. The Nigerian army has done far more than this PR bravado we are seeing from the Tchadian army. We see almost daily photos and videos of Nigerian military operations. But trust Nigerians to apply selective amnesia. |

Salatavor: they trained in Mali? But your special forces train in Russia, India, Israel, Pakistan and Britain. How come we are losing to those who trained in Mali? We are not losing. South-Africa spent 28 years in Angola fighting terrorists. Syrian civil war has gone on for 9 years despite heavy Russian involvement. Nigerian army suffered losses in an ambush to BHT, but we have successfully degraded BHT to carrying out hit and run in isolated areas. That's hardly a victory |

DavidAdeyemo: Although I am inexperienced in military operations but following this thread for years now I observed two things? 1. Why can't we have a chopper escorting them whenever they move many men and materials? Because to me the army need eyes in the sky due the dynamics of the enemy take for example the case of Gen. Adeniyi he has no business on ground that day, he should be in the sky coordinating affairs base on his overview of the battle ground. 2. Why is this operation not under the Chief of Defense Staff Office so that all the security agencies will contribute men and materials into a single course? The case of Theatre Commander saying he has seen gunship they sent shows lack of coordination I think he should have some platforms under his command. I agree that military operations should be coordinated from DHQ. It seems as though each individual service has it's own running mission, running concurrently with the general military operations in the North East. I also agree on your comment on the theater commander. I think one of the major issues we have is an insufficient number of air platforms. I am also of the opinion that the army needs to quickly stand up it's own air arm. Also the air force needs to get it's remaining MI-35m helicopters. Last I read, they have all been built. Nigeria has not completed payment for them. |

jpphilips: US is making a deal with Talbans because it is not their war!! Do you expect the US to make a deal with the Taliban if they were operating in Philadelphia? This makes no sense. The US entered Afghanistan because 3,000 Americans were killed in 9/11. The US has the world's largest forward force projection. Whether in Colombus or Kandahar they can deliver the punch. The US is making the deal with the Taliban because after nearly 20 years of US and NATO military operations in Afghanistan, they have come to the realisation that they cannot win militarily. |

As i said the Mi35m is just a Mi24 variant MI-35M has a new engine, new avionics and flight control, new rotor designs and rotor blades, new cannons, new weapons, is night fighting capable and also uses composite materials. It is different from an MI-24. |

jln115: I was speaking in general hence i didn't mention any specific variant , however the Mi35m is just another version of the Mi24(which there are many) The MI-35m spots quite a number of differences from the MI-24, they are not the same helicopter. |
