I wouldn't bother trying to reason with certain people here. Boko Haram and other terrorist and not well meaning organisations are succeeding in their propaganda and turning people against each other.

There are thousands of soldiers in the North East fighting bravely, but no, base everything on a few terrorist edited videos.

The same soldiers will be there whatever political party is in power. The security services recruit from the populace. Maybe Nigerians should look in the mirror.

Bro me am just asking, wetin concern me with all these military-civil relation.

Currently am in MMC Borno, just want to know the local government areas he said they where overran by BHT ?

bidexiii:
Where .... ?

Which L.G.A are been overrun by BHT, recently.

SternProphet:
Ya. Mbombe does have a cage and standoff armour built into the design that is flush with the hull.
Looking at the pictures, I actually suspect the passenger compartment may have been more recessed and designed to be more deflective of even tandem, shaped charge RPG rounds than the competition although I have no evidence to support this.

QuietMynd:
Wats the importance of the comment section you screenmunch with the writeup ?

Nigeria and Niger republic sign agreement to allow NAF fighter jets take off from Niger.

This is the kind of corporation we need.

bidex111:
Hope the documentary was interesting.

I don't have the means of watching here, hope I will be uploaded to the NAF social media platforms.

Sizzorkay:
I see a huge error in those pics, specifically the last one. Who blindfold children? Aren't they traumatized enough?
I don't think that should have been done.
And of course anyone with a better narrative as to why that was done, is free to share, without insults.

Rankings also don't include net centric warfare capability: Data links, C2 systems, Bluefor tracking systems, Satellite systems,Radio/communication systems, Radar systems ect ect...........This is where IMO South Africa has an advantage over most countries not just in Africa but in the world. Outside NATO(incl Japan and S.Korea who also use link 16), Russia, China and India, South Africa is the only other country that has developed and operates a defence wide tactical data link.

So exams is one of the main reasons for promotion
Can a commodore still be in SBS or can one attain the level of Commodore from being in the SBS??

joshingjosh:
Thanks for the explanation

Odunayaw:
Passing SBS BOC-C can't be accomplished by someone afraid to die.
If that person escapes that, the next 10-12months of training will quickly strip the person naked.

SBS BOC-C is modeled like SEALs BUD/s with a touch of Nigerian flavor . You have heard the testimony of an officer here, these ones are as rough as crocodile hide.

Officers don't stay long because of career progression. What officer doesn't want to reach the pinnacle of his career (Admiralty)

The NA personnel that were trained by/with the SBS return to their parent units(NA SF or the likes) bringing their experience along

Army orders 10,000 vests and helmets from Nigeria Machine Tools.

Generally only non-infantry soldiers gain weight after basics. Even then you certainly dont see anyone that out of shape.
There's no real end to the training cycle.
You can generally spot a infantry vet from the way they describe basic training compared to other units. Basics are mild compared to conventional training that follows.
Please stop rewriting History.
Hundreds of British Soldiers were deliberately starved to death due to the Japanese Army being unprepared for the unprecedented number of British Soldiers that surrender.
Usually I try not to comment but survivors have borne witness to the amount of food they were fed it had nothing to do with physical fitness.
The Korean war and it's aftermath again had nothing to do with physical fitness but :
1) The willingness of China to intervene and sacrifice hundreds of thousands of regular troops
2) Some of the poor decisions that were made by Gen Douglass MacArthur

jakeporeshenko:
If FG met their demand BHTs would not have executed Hauwa. This means they either stalled or just opted not to negotiate/pay ransome in this particular case.

homerac7:
The last 3-4 days have been quiet in NE.

FG negotiating with Boko Haram?
