BH attacked DABANGA, a village around kousseri leading to the intervention of the BIR.
Results: 1 BIR killed, several BH fighters killed, 5 bodies counted but guess they carried their wounded and dead bodies away.
5 pickup retrieved with several weapons also collected.
Kudos to the Cameroonian BIR

Another attempt of an attack targeting the power line from Maïné-Soroa to Diffa. This time the IED was spotted and destroyed.

They started doing it around February. This is the second set of images I'll see with mud as camouflage from our ISR. This is why I support NAF not releasing footages of airstrikes. The enemies are watching it too.

They have been doing it for years, to try to avoid aerial detection, they mix engine oil and sand to coat the body of the car

With there vehicles been camouflaged with mud, it will blend with the desert terrain. Making it difficult for the air force to spot them.
But not from ISR assets.

but this things will not stop heat na. i am just wondering how they will escape thermal imaging by doing this.

Its an old practice for BHT, its more of desperation from them, the air force his seriously disrupting there movement and operation.

It is useless in combat situations anyway. The ISR is beyond thermal imaging alone. It uses series of algorithm to detect the tiniest movement. Except they are all going to standstill when the Skyhawk is pursuing their arses.

After the Russian Afghan war, the country was controlled by different warlords who carved parts for themselves to make money, they killed people and turned Afghans into slaves, the Mujahedeen who were former fighters in the war, saw the atrocities of the warlords and decided to create the taliban movement to bring back peace and human rights to Afghanistan. The taliban movement was headed by Mawlawi Abdul Samad and Amir and Mullah Omar who was the commander,( all Afghanis)they cleared the country of warlords and then gained political power to form the Taliban regime of Afghanistan. The Taliban movement was only interested in Affairs of Afghanistan and not in any outside affairs, their main goal was to bring peace to Afghanistan and to foster international relations with the US through the oil company UNOCAL.

Al Qaeda on the other hands are different from the talibans, Al Quada was an all-Arab camp created in Jaji in 1986, Al Qaeda comprises of only Arabs with their leader Osama Bin laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri( Arabs). Osama was the medium of training and sponsorships of arab college students who were willing to fight the Russians in Afghanistan, also he was willing to internationalize the struggle against the Russians and take it as far as Philippines, Al quada is like an Arab legion that can defend Muslim causes everywhere. So your notion that Al Qaeda are Afghanistan tribes is wrong.

Talibans are a nationalist movement and only Afghans could join, it was created for the survival of the Afghans people while Al Qaeda is an Arab group.

The United states lost the war not because of the terrains but because of the Taliban unity among themselves, many of the Taliban forces were experienced fighters who fought during the Afghan Russian war and also because muslims from around the world sent fighters to fight a muslim cause, the united states were fighting against different groups...very hard to win that type of war.
The foreign fighters that assisted the Mujahedeen from the Arab world mostly Saudi became Al-Qaeda, the Local Mujahidin fighters became the Taliban, stop confusing yourself.
Till US struck Afghanistan, Al-Qaida maintained a solid headquarters at Tora bora cave complex, it was the battle of Tora Bora that dismantled it.
Infact, Osama spent nearly a year there after 9/11 before coming to Africa then Pakistan according to US intel.

Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by Xbee007(m): 4:25pm On Mar 31, 2021

Lol it’s scary when looking at it. I usually see two people mounting on it. Is it a double trigger gun?

It's a ZPU anti aircraft gun, it fires 14.5mm ammo.
That gun can pieces one person into 600 parts with a single burst, so try stay far away God no go shame us

It would technically be .57 but once you get past .50 no one refers to the bullets in calibers.

Its definitely stronger than Dshk but if the power is really worth it is up for debate. Dshk is honestly good enough for soft targets and if Dshk is not enough it's usually better to just go with 20mm.

14.5 just sits in a weird spot right now.

Yes... They have to camouflage from the airforce of neighboring countries... Because they are too cool to be seen... Also because you guys are all compromised.

Heard series of arrest were made recently in relations to funding terrorism and banditry. The presidency has promised to publish the names of the sponsors but knowing that this claim has been made several times in the past, I'm not too optimistic, all that I ask for is true justice.

The foreign fighters that assisted the majahedeen were made up of different arab nationalities.Infact, the chechens, Pakistanis volunteers for al Qaeda all fought against the Russians. Osama was just for cash and training. Al Qaeda bases and training camps have all been in Pakistan from day 1.

And Osama didn't leave in Africa after 9/11

Osama lived in Sudan from 1992 -1996,, in 1996, he left for Afghanistan.
