If it was boko Haram that killed 150 Nigerian soldiers
Zagazola will also post it as "150 Nigerian soldiers killed after BH attack in Bama"

But BH will attack an outpost unsuccessfully
SR headline will be "Many soldiers FEARED dead as BH ALLEGEDLY attacks military base"


That's why we always confirm from neutral sources and not propaganda machines

Bamako (AFP) – Mali's military rulers received more warplanes and helicopters from Russia Thursday, an AFP correspondent noted, the latest in a series of deliveries from its new top military and political ally.

AFP counted eight planes and two helicopters at a ceremony attended by Russian ambassador Igor Gromyko and the head of Mali's junta, Colonel Assimi Goita.

Mali's military said the shipment included Sukhoi Su-25 attack planes designed to support ground troops; and the Czech-designed Albatros L-39.

L-39s, while initially designed for training purposes, have also been used as attack aircraft.


Bamako also received Mi-8s, a Soviet-designed Russian transport helicopter that, as well as transporting troops and equipment, can be fitted with weapons to defend ground troops.

Malian officials did not give a detailed breakdown of how many of each aircraft had been delivered, and while they say they purchased the weapons, they have released no details of the transactions.

This is the latest in a series of similar Russian deliveries of military equipment, following others in March and August, 2022.

The west African country has been fighting a jihadist insurgency as well as a political and humanitarian crisis since 2012.

That's some serious stuff being acquired by junta dictator Assimi Goita ostensibly for the fight against terrorists but in reality for regime preservation as its with all unelected usurpers of power. His trained special forces eye is gleaned on ECOWAS and a potential invasion.

Clearly that guy continues to dig in from the start and exported his putschists credentials to Burkina Faso and now Guinea with backing of of no less Wagner elements and the Kremlin. Shouldn't have been allowed to happen, one of the failures of President Buhari's foreign policy in the West Africa sub-region & Africa in general except for The Gambia. Mali must be reined in.

– Air Marshal Amao, Chief of Air Staff [CAS]

January 21, 2023

By Kingsley Omonobi

The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Oladayo Amao, on Friday 20 January 2023 said the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has operationalized the usage of all its new and modern platforms towards tackling terrorism and insurgency in the country. Speaking during an operational visit to the Nigerian Air Force Institute of Safety and 209 Quick Response Group, Ipetu-Ijesa, Osun State, the CAS stated that these new and modern air assets are instrumental in the feats being recorded against terrorists and insurgents. Air Marshal Amao, attributed the successes recorded by the NAF in the theatres of operation to the newly acquired JF-17 Thunder aircraft, A-29 Super Tucano aircraft and the Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles.

The CAS revealed that the NAF is expecting the delivery of additional new platforms which the President has approved for the Service.
The air assets, according to him, include: 2 Beechcraft King Air 360, 4 Diamond DA-62 surveillance aircraft, 3 Wing Loong II UCAVs and 6 T-129 ATAK helicopters.

He further disclosed that there are ongoing acquisitions of 12 Agusta 109 Trekker multi-role helicopters and 24 M-346 attack aircraft.
He added that some of these additional platforms are expected to be delivered to the NAF before the end of first quarter 2023. This, he said would further boost NAF’s air power employment and projection capabilities as well as air combat training.

Biko she's not pretty o. At all. This lady is an A-class beaut. And so graceful you wanna stare at her and drool like you just snorted a good dose of gunpowder and coke. Saw her from like 30 feet away a few days ago and fell in love.

By the way, I saw what looked like the FN 2000 bullpup rifle at the Onitsha Obidatti rally. It was carried by a fella I took to be DSS. I thought DSS only used Tavors?

Oh. Thanks for the clarification. The P90 and RPK-16 are top of my wishlist.

Any one here gone to a rally and felt like there's a sniper scope centered on the back of his head?

By the way @Toju200, did you mean a sniper rifle or DMR?

EXTREMISM WATCH
Niger Calls for Regional Force Against Sahel Jihadists

FILE - Niger's army soldiers ride on a pickup truck near Agadez, Niger, Oct. 29, 2019.

Niger's President Mohamed Bazoum on Thursday called for Nigeria to help create a regional military task force to combat insecurity in the Sahel region.

Nigeria's neighbors Niger and Burkina Faso are struggling to contain militant insurgencies aligned with the Islamic State and al-Qaida that have spread across their territories.

Nigeria already helped establish the Multinational Joint Task Force (MJTF) for the Lake Chad region, involving the armed forces of Chad and Niger and others to battle Boko Haram militants there.

"We want to replicate this kind of model in countries of Sahel," Bazoum said in a statement from Nigeria's presidency after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja.

"Why? Because this model has allowed us in the Lake Chad basin to address a common threat," he said.

He said if Nigeria, Africa's biggest economy and a regional powerhouse, helped organize a similar model for the Sahel, it would reduce the financial burden to fight militants there.

Niger is attempting an initiative to talk to jihadis whose attacks have battered the country's southwest, as fears grow of a new wave of bloodshed.

The impoverished Sahel nation has been fearing a new onslaught in its Tillaberi region since France announced its troops would leave neighboring Mali.

Tillaberi is in the flashpoint "three borders" zone of Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali, where jihadis groups linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS) operate.

In neighboring Burkina Faso, more than 2,000 people have died, according to an AFP tally, while the country's emergencies agency says more than 1.5 million people have fled their homes since a militant insurgency began there in 2015.

Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in the world, and its army is badly equipped and lacking training to deal with more mobile and determined jihadist forces.

Nigeria needs to urgently stand up a counterinsurgency ECOWAS Battalion to lease with Ghana, Benin,Mali,Niger,Togo and cote d' ivoire against the incoming islamist jihad ist threat from the Sahel...
