I'm thinking it was supposed to be a night time assault so low visibility....
My anger is a simple problem like "Lack of Comms" might be the reason for this waste of lives......our leaders are wicked!
One would think that by now, the Nigerian army would have had some common sense.

The Ezugwu MRAP costs about 70 million per vehicle, the ARA MRAP APC costs higher but still within that range, yet, the Nigerian army is finding it very difficult to order these vehicles in huge numbers for troops.

We only see them parading the vehicles at arms shows and what not.

Carrying soldiers in tippers is utterly disgraceful.

Just learning it's Blue on Blue.....the loss is too great.
Someone must take blame......
They should stop dressing and driving soldiers like they are insurgents and terrorists.

Let's start from there.

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.
Nigerian troops need to stop driving around like insurgents. Why won't there be a blue on blue incident.

There are so many armoured vehicle manufacturers, uniform and kit manufacturers, in nigeria yet nothing to show for it.

Please can i get the video of the small arms fire at 1 metre. I read it on this forum. Thanks
It was broadcasted on the day the Ezugwu was launched. Check Channels TV on YouTube.

7kg blast under the Hull and 12kg under any wheel...... Thats decent protection cool

Any idea how it compares to the ARA?
No idea how it compares to the ARA, but with these numbers, I believe favourably.

Although the ARA provides better all round crew comfort.

Covid-19

Corona virus in Italy

This is a major public health emergency.

Nigeria needs to take this thing very seriously.

It's not a joke.

EZUGWU MRAPs produced by the Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria and Command Engineering Depot (DICON-CED) can withstand small arms fire and a 7kg TNT explosion. Each of its wheels can withstand a 12kg TNT explosion. The Mine-Resistant, Ambush-Protected (MRAP) vehicles can carry a 12.7 mm Gun and a 7.62 mm Light Machine Gun.

The all-terrain all-wheel-drive vehicle has an independent suspension system that allows it to move through smooth and rough terrain. Ezugwu armored vehicles will carry a crew of 12, including a commander, driver, two gunners, and eight soldiers. Powering this locally made mobile bunker is a Chinese-sourced WD615 turbo diesel engine.

Criticism is about investigating sth and telling one's honest and true opinions.
The rocket launcher is impressive, im impressed with it actually cool
Criticism?

Really where is it?

This is a clear provocation.

TayserMahrii:
I feel the look from the front is archaic compared to other modern MRAPs. Reminds of the Little Willie or the Schneider CA1. Not bad but not majestic either cool So long as it gets the job done, kudos tongue
Lord, let this cup of provocation pass over me. sad

First flight of FOC variant of IAF LCA MK1 today.

Will form the 2nd squadron on delivery of the remaining contracted aircrafts
One of the more beautiful light fighter planes I have seen.

What do you think about this jet?

It's also very affordable, the price of an F-16 Block 40.

You must feel really proud?

Namibia No?? Bro they make some of the best MRAPs on the continent!!!

Do your research mate wink

You make a fair point with regards to Algeria though!
There is nothing like "the best MRAP". There's a general rule of thumb with making MRAPs.

I have never seen a Namibian MRAP.

How are these skinny doors armored? Or am i missing something here? Those flat skinny rear doors can survive IED blasts?
This is a serious question, not throwing shade, was expecting them to be bulkier than what am looking at
We use Chobam armour for the Ezugwu MRAP APC. Light arms cannot penetrate the armour if the Ezugwu.

Photos attached.

When taking into account the result of test carried out, the Ezugwu is pretty adequate.

The new Ezugwu MRAP APC even looks more majestic from the front.

Its time to start phasing out those Toyota hilux especially in battle and start getting innoson trucks for utility
I agree with this. We should be phasing out light skin vehicles in general, and use the Innoson primarily for utility.

Whoelse noticed that ezugwu mkII no longer uses that nail screws(correct me if I'm wrong) that someone here criticized it on?
Those things are add-on armour. If you saw the video of the launch of the Ezugwu last year, you would see the vehicle comfortably taking ak-47 bullets at 1 meter ranges.

Point blank range.
