Hmmmmmmm

Xbee007:

I hope they are found by own troops. I hope they are carrying side arms too. The kind of hatred terrorists have for fighter pilots is the worst in this world. DAESH burn fighter pilots alive in cages it is terrible.

SamuelAnyawu:


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

Toju200:
yeah they carry side arms...

cutievik:

Seems no ISR was available for this mission...So many suggestions and thoughts in my head...

I trust the NAF to find them quickly.

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.

Toju200:
Heard the CAS is in Maiduguri already.
I'm trying to ask a friend who's a mi35m pilot about updates on the incident he hasn't been online....

Whyem15:



There are rumors that the second pilot of the 2014 crash is still alive and has been providing BH with airstrike evasion strategies. Many rescued prisoners have confirmed that they saw someone like him in the terrorists camp whenever they are showed his picture.

IGpro1:

how bro why na?

make I PM you so we go fit dey chat abeg.

ugo4u:

Even if they carry side arms it won't make much difference if they eject safely in a hot zone infested with ISWAP elements, the only thing on the Pilots mind will be to evade the enemies till help comes, you don't wanna be in a situation were you use Pistols to face technicals/AKs wielding vampires.
That aside it will be a miracle of the Pilot is still alive because he would have radioed in his cordinates for exfiltration. I suspect the pilot had a loss of orientation and lost control or had technical issues with his bird.
May God help our pilots the weather these days isn't favourable for flying missions.

nigeria alpha jet and men of the 72 moblie strike at about 1.00pm yesterday got intel about a iswap location where top level commander from libya, sahal, middle east where having meeting. and isr plane was sent with men of the 72 moblie strike on ground delopyed last week.according to what i heard the jet drop some bomb on the location 2 times and was expected to drop the 3 time but it never return. with what i heard.the military are supecting that an unkwon fighter jet may have strike the jet, or techinical fault. but SAR mission have detect some location beliving it may be were the plane crashland. some people say the pliot eject from the jet. but my intel are saying they are supecting an unkwon fighter jet. i heard last week that a fighter jet enter nigeria airspace. intel for IGpro 1

Xbee007:

The side arm is not to fight against terrorists with AA guns. That is worse than bringing a knife to a gun fight. The point is if they are still alive and are about to be captured by the enemy, they need to do the needful.

ugo4u:
I think this corroborates Samuel's post days back

tutudesz:

Finding the pilots alive will provide more information

SamuelAnyawu:
Do Pilots fly with a satellite phone like Thuraya?
