Why is no one talking about the RCWS overhead this APCs.
Abi na my eye dey pain me

JOSCOFELIX:
yes. Small, small we dey go invade U.S.A know mind me oo I don take 25 bottle of 333 this evening

Whyem15:
I also hope they won't wait for these platforms to get destroyed or become non functional before they sign another deal, procurement doesn't have to be yearly, it could be every 3-5 years until all requirements are met. NA should aim very high so that at any time all requirements are catered for. They should go for large numbers in a way that they can keep the number of platforms operational constant while some are undergoing maintenance/repairs and others are being used for training.
It should not stop with protected mobility, it should be extended to tanks, IFVs, artilleries, engineering capabilities, communications, intelligence etc.

Whyem15:
You know what makes this more interesting, many of these hardwares were paid for with the last defence budget, the one recently approved by the senate Wil bring provide the military with more menacing capabilities.

Inler77:
Please stop this, declaring or not declaring someone terrorist does not stop in any way deployment of state apparatus against them, does not stop the military and law enforcement agants going for kidnappers (way it becomes rampant as it now), we have seen how states formed special units to go for arms robbers and thieves when they were terrorising people, I think all this debate of terrorist or non terrorist is just a waste of time, our metric should be is the govt doing enough? We have seen the military deployed in NW, what's holding them back.

Toju200:
plus unknown numbers of the Ezugwu MRAPs

LTGEN:
I believe the 100 BIG FOOTS have been delivered

Whyem15:
I only hope they bought enough spares, support vehicles and trained enough personnels to be able to maintain them for a long period. The way we used the last set of Bigfoot MRAPs is quite shameful.

Also, I hope they won't fix these platforms with 12.7mm guns only. They should carry varying calibers and types of ammunitions. They should follow the lead of the Navy by fixing 40mm grenade launchers etc on some of these platforms.

This is literally the dumbest thing I have seen this month

So you think iswap wants to continue with the ridiculous hit and run tactics?

So if you ask iswap leader if he wants to take Maiduguri he will answer

"No I just want to keep hitting and running forever"

Someone here once said Ethiopian military is far better and stronger than Nigeria military, because they won against Italy, despite being occupied by the Italian for 5 years.
I can never forget that.

Stormtrooper11:
I know I'm not supposed to diss the Ethiopians, but I remember how some peeps here claimed the Ethiopian Airforce is by far better than our Airforce. We should really give our Armed forces alot of credits. We're really trying, but all we do is to compare it to the U.S,which is a Super Power. I know our "Government", is "sabotaging" our security forces through their policies atimes, but Nigeria would scale through.

dragon2:
The way they capture the Ethiopian Government soldiers in number......Poor battlefield leadership.
Modified.
Don't get me wrong it happens in war. However, modern sensor systems give a clearer picture of the battlefield to allow for tactical manoeuvres to prevent large scale surrender.
