By the mention of MNK AND BIAFRA let's unite and love Nigeria while it kills us

Sheeple Republic

This is certainly not a mistake.. The pilots intentionally pulled the trigger as commanded..
The problem is the intelligence.. And the fact that they can't differentiate between a child and an actual terrorist from the air.. And I suspect those kids were in a terrorist controlled area... So it makes sense for NAF to take dem as actual terrorist..
Rip to the dead..kudos to NAF..u can't expect 100%..the battle continues

Vickyvice:
Nigeria isn't ripe for use of fighter aircraft

Look at your local reasoning..

Where is it that mistakes like this don't happen

AchalugoNwa:


so sorry for Niger republic

thunder scatter Buhari.

Says someone that his WRETCHED ILLITERATE father is 6feet deep..

Cognitivereason:
Don't be daft...NAF pilot are well trained....when news fly around about heir successes in bombing terrorist.... U don't come online to appreciate them...but a one off like this...u start wailing... Aircrashes happen in every airforce....and NAF pilot are not dominated by any particular tribe..inshort there are more southern pilots in NAF..Besides it a collateral damage ..it a normal occurrence ...u can't expect pilot to differentiate between children and terrorist thousands of feet In the air...

Am pretty sure those kids were in a terrorist controlled area...just like the bombing of fishermen in lake chad basin an area infested with terrorist..

well said buddy sorry to say .does kids are boko harram children's if the news is true

Tokskob2008:
Nawa...
Intentionally they will avoid and take off whenever they are faced by the bandits but will surely and mistakenly bomb innocent civilians, and they are supposed to be professionals right

Jet Fighterswill avoid and take off when they see ba ndits

Hungry UNLETTERED bloody UNPATRIOTIC FOOOOL!

Buhari go para for him soldiers o.
The late children are from Buhari village

Eriokanmi:
I'm telling you. Retardedd brains can't pilot a fighter jet, if it's same I see US and Russia parade. You've got to undergo an intensive training and make it a core course. Fighter jets aren't toys

Your reasoning is worse than that fool's..

so ripe America that mistakenly bomb a family car in Afghanistan and called ISIS-K What about the countless school's or homes bomb by America in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan

The guy is one local.pleb.....

Nigeria is one huge joke of a country. Never ever gets anything right.

Vickyvice:

Do you know how many such mistakes American forces made in the middle east?

Bigchristo:
common Bro, there should be good intel and drone signal giving a clear view to the scene where they want to conduct air strike, there is always a collateral damage and mistakes but NAF has recorded little success in fight against insurgency and lots of things gone wrong mostly, mistakes should always be 10% while successful operations should be at least 90%.

Don't lie to ur self na....NAF has recorded great successes...the problem is DAT when they post news about it...some folks (I hope ur not among) will come and request for pictures or they won't believe it...
So far the only significant mistake NAF has recorded in over 10 years of bombing terrorist and bandits in the north is the bombing of IDP refugees ,the killing of fishermen and this one...common ...in 10 years of fighting a war... Just 3 mistakes.. NAF has an extremely low casualty cases..

Besides ... even with electro optical/infrared sensors... NAF personnels will still find it difficult in differentiating kids from terrorist... Remember the planes or drones have to be thousands of feet in the air to avoid detection ...
But let appreciate the fact that even though the Intel was bad...NAF responded to it quickly.. If they turned out to be actual terrorist.... I can bet my left balls that u won't believe it or probably just keep scrolling.
Nigerians just love hearing negative news..

immortalcrown:
Properly trained fighters or untrained ones recruited on a nepotic basis?

Why won't they miss their target? Are they Airforce men?

Eriokanmi:
I'm not denying the fact that air force could go off target especially in a densely populated environment where the criminal they're targeting lives. Civilian casualties would definitely be recorded. These guys were just given the jets to fight and such a number of casualties were recorded. That's not good at all. Before they cause more harm to innocent lives or bomb a whole town, they need to suspend the exercise and go for an intensive training.

You are funny o. You said they were just given the jets? So you know the type of jets involved in this particular raid or pilots just hopped into the jets without trainings? I’m sure you are making reference to the A-29s. Even if they just acquired the jets (with no reference to A-29s because those are not jets) NAF pilots undergo months of trainings, practices, familiarization or whatever you wants to call it, way before such jet/plane is inducted into the NAF inventory. In fact they have continuous training with such platforms. This is human error which happens everywhere in the world.

We never hear it when they mistakenly fire at Nigerian children.
They would tell us they killed bandits.
It's very likely they have been killing children all this while.
They only got caught because the people of Nifertility spoke out.

TOPCRUISE:
This is the reason the US feared selling planes to Nigeria before reaching a deal

chiokeman:
One of the reasons why American has refused to sale fighter jets to us

Nonsense, the US Air force made many such errors in the middle east - the reason they dont want to sell proper weaponry to Nigeria is imperialistic. They dont want a potentially powerful African country to possess any serious weaponry, period.

Air strike can go both way, when your enemy is Bokoharam that hide among Civilians.

It is most unfortunate that most Nigerians here know nothing and will just open their big mouth to talk so much rubbish

pacespot:
Maybe those people selling them the fighter jets should have made that a requirement before selling to them. But it seems they are only interested in the money, not concerned about what the weapon is being used for.

The sellers will not think like you because their pilots too are not innocent of this. They know that in a war zone, you cannot write off such accifents. They know that very well

jaido09:
Ignorant talk. These mistakes occur everywhere/anywhere in the world. You cannot rule out human error. Ask yourself, with all the daily raids conducted by the NAF, how many times have you heard of such unfortunate incident?

you only hear of few reported cases.you carry out ground surveillance first before bombing the specific tatgets

Proudlyngwa:
It is disheartening to read the comments here, same group of people, that claimed it was normal in war when it happened to the US.


Nairaland youths need to take a deep look at themselves.

Bunch of 4kn hypocrites.

That is what they have reduced themselves to. Very stupid comments that are highly biased.

My friend stop talking trash their mistakes is pile up all over the Internet just use your smart phone wisely and stop being stupid.

You are speaking little truth. if not for NAF, I don't the terrorists will be highly restricted as they are now. NAF is doing a good job. Some of you think fighting terrorism is a child play, it is not. Ask America who have the best of the best, they still struggle in the fight against terrorism

Vickyvice:

Not really with regards to ground surveillance. You will not always have the luxury of ground surveillance which may be the most accurate type (I stand to be corrected). There are different ways of carrying out surveillance. You don’t go on a bombing raid without intel and surveillance. They go hand in hand.

Toh...

Well ...I used the word significant as per those that made serious headlines...

I still stand on d fact that their successes far outweighs their mistakes...

Try using DAT same phone to search for that of the US and other major world power...let balance the equation

I countered you based on what you said since the last 10yrs NAF has only made 3 mistakes now you can see an endless list of the blonders on the Internet yet you’re still arguing, my friend go and sleep

Benjax4all:
Sometime airstrike bombing have advantage and disadvantage, d advantage is it can kill scores of enime or terrorist at once while d disadvantage own it so painful it can also kill innocent pple and most affected are always children and women.

You are not smart. most affected are women and children so bombs now dictates who or whom it bombs

Cti28:
Another one. They will soon deny, but later accept by adding sugar and salt to it.

Quata system pilots

Even America will deny such mistake and accept it later

Eriokanmi:

Well are they getting the requisite training or someone somewhere is either pocketing the money or thinks trainings are a waste of money.

GIGO
