Do you know about a tiny device called go pro

yes I know but can you stand in the middle of guns? As a trained military personnel?

I saw one boy without camouflage ran forward in front of the camera man and I was not okay with that until I hear the blast and the camera man shouted suicide bomber.

Afolabimills:
my take on that too there is no air support to flush those basterds

You are right. No helicopter gunships in the scene while the camera rolled. That aerial participation could have kicked off later though.

Nigerian army has along way to go.

Where is their coms? The each troop wear beside their helmet?

You don't need to shout at war fronts anymore.. it stopped after the 2nd world war.
Where is the drones

Amen. That's a serious encounter with the insurgency but I keep wondering why there wasn't air assistance for the Nigeria Army on ground. In this type of situation, air support is highly needed to round them up and roast them like suya.....They would be entrap between the Air support and the ground troupe.....Nigeria has the strength and capability to deal with this insurgency but the planning and the conviction to go ahead and do it is the issue here......

zoghys:
This is so frightening to watch. We need help to defeat this rag tag group, them are determined to get victory over our gallant forces. May the soul of the officers who pay the ultimate price rest in peace.

Yet, they're not terrorists abi but bandits who who became wild because some criminals stole their cows?🤣🤣🤣 Imagine this happening in a country where they claim to have the best military in Africa, terror groups were left to grow because of politics & military incompetence.

Jakumo:
It is not often that a Nigerian soldier is able to capture a firefight involving infantry, tanks and major firepower, so when this video clip arrived in my news feed, I had to share it on the Nairaland forum for the viewing pleasure of my fellow armchair generals in the house. If you listen carefully you will hear the whistle of incoming rounds whipping past the cameraman's head as he bravely records the chaotic firefight.

Sit back, and enjoy the fireworks, but while you see the brave men of the Nigerian army lock horns with a determined and well funded enemy, remember that this is no movie, and that when the smoke clears, a few Nigerian soldiers will have paid the ultimate price, and thus made the ultimate sacrifice for their fatherland.

God bless those guys

Jakumo:
I know that these kind words you have written will be read and greatly appreciated by our troops at the war front. Knowing that their sacrifices and hardship are lauded by the public will inspire the warriors to perform acts of great heroism of which we the civilian observers, will only ever see a select few carefully screened incidents on our computer screens.

How can one donate or contribute to the cause?

I love this! I wish I could be there fighting with the Soldiers against the terrorists. I had always wanted to be a Soldier. I applied in 2008 DSSC but was unsuccessful and couldn't apply again due to age limit.
I can feel the impact of the Trump in this fights, I hope the US can supply our Soldiers with enough arms to conquer these basteerds.
It's now the Nigerian Army is really fighting and I hope they make it a co-ordinated attack. Air support is very key to easily decimating these disposables.
I wish them victory (how did suicide bombing occur in that place? Was it by one of the Soldiers or a terrorist ran into them?)

Saao:

You typed nonsense quoting me. I am glad you are been blocked by the bot for the next 30 minutes make your medulla reset. Na wetin good for you be that. If you come back, type nonsense again and I will respond in a way you will be blocked again 🤡

CodeTemplarr:
I have seen the video and it proves nothing tangible except that ammunitions are being expended. The soldiers are being commanded to advance toward nothing in particalar within sight. No bulletproof on them shows they just taking silly risk of higher firepower if any terrorist exists on the other side.

Another puzzling issue is, who recorded such a clip if not a deliberately orchestrated leak from NSA to score political points?


We saw someone dismissed from military for same offense just a weak ago. Lol

What are you saying Ukrainian and Russia even IDF battalion shows their kills everyday. My favourite is Ragdog II Battalion, they show their drone kills. You will see enemies driving or advancing on foot. Boom they are gone. And it's legit, they allow them update. There is this Ukrainian fleet, they use drones and their main mission is to blow out enemies supply with suicide drones which they update their field almost everyday until they stopped December (They have been killed).

The Captain walking around carelessly with No Helment/Bullet. No wonder our soldiers dies. Even US don't do like this, they always stay in hideous and tell each other when advancing to cover with heavy firepower. With my COD experience I'll still act better than these guys.

In this kind of situation they need air support, an attack helicopter will make a big difference here.

The rise of Islamist terror in West Africa is far more complex than this description you have offered. The Islamists are invading several countries in West Africa, and they are being funded by deep pockets, more than likely linked to Arab countries that dream of converting Nigeria into an Islamic rogue state like Afghanistan, so that the Arab countries can then seize control of Nigeria's oil fields in their capacity as the nation's caliphate overlords.

Many of the terrorists swarming Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Burkina Faso are battle-hardened militiamen who became unemployed when their former paymaster in Libya, tyrant Moammar Ghadaffi was overthrown and terminated in October 2011. Taking their infantry weapons and war fighting expertise, those wild men from Libya became guns-for-hire, who then crossed the Sahara Desert into West Africa, and proceeded to train idle uneducated youths in northern Nigeria among other countries, to become expendable Jihad fighters.

All of a sudden, every Nairaland femboy is a lieutenant. This forum is a comedy. Laugh don kpai me back to sleep.

bewla:
go join army

Them need young men

No be Nigeria army oooh... God forbid.

E better for me to join Ukraine army than Nigerian own.. atleast I know say person no go sell me out

Jakumo:
Amid the "fog of war", troops are trained to unleash storms of fire without even seeing the enemy combatants. That "spray and pray" methodology is used by all militaries to overwhelm the enemy, and keep their heads down while the attackers advance on them to wipe them out. It is rare for troops to see the enemy close up. Very often they saturate the area with fire, and only discover the enemy bodies when they advance.

They think war is like movies and video games.

99% of real battles you don't even see the enemy, you don't know exactly how far away they're, or their weapon types, etc. You just return fire in the general direction of the incoming rounds, keep your heads low, and maneuver tactically out of the killbox if ambushed.

In this video, the soldiers are sending out suppressing fire just like you said, until the suicide bomber flanking from the right disoriented them.

Shame there's apparently no air cover for them or artillery and radios, as all commucation seems like shouted commands and pleadings not to retreat.

I've seen worse firefights in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Jakumo:
On the contrary, it is VITAL that the military should show certain aspects of their offensive operations at the war front, to carry along the nation's populace, and assure them that the fight is being taken to the enemy at long last. This footage does not give away any operational secrets, while it shows that the Nigerian army's front-line soldiers are fearlessly storming the very bowels of hell to fight for peace in Nigeria.

This video clip will certainly have been approved for release by the high command.

but towards the end when a suicide bomber came, our soldiers ran away.

Suicide bomber! Suicide bomber!!!! Gentlemen don't go anywhere!!!

This one gave me goosebumps

thatigboman:

Are they supposed to remain in the range of a suicide bomber?? They are supposed to run or get blown along with the bomber!!

owobokiri:
The one standing and walking around as if he is tending to his cows, bullets no dey penetrate him bodi ni?

E reach to ask

Afolabimills:

The video is thrash !! Just sound recordings and some people are falling for it ! Are these soldiers ?!!

Hopefully the Nigerian military will send a few electronics engineers and technicians to learn how Ukraine hurriedly manufactures cheap and expendable "kamikaze" drones that can deliver RPG grenades directly on the enemy.

These drones are affordable, and can be mass produced far from the war front, where drone operators can also be trained on readily available simulators, until they are capable of flying those drones into any space that can contain a hiding combatant, so as to blow them to smithereens without risking a single federal troop.

I don't know why Nigeria Army keep repeating the same thing all the time... You don't need to send in foot soldiers,just put drones up there and eliminate the threats from far with zero casualties from Ur side

Propaganda kee una there.

I don't know why the footage looks somehow to me because in the midst of such a barrage of gunshots exchange between the soldiers and the terrorists, how can someone be strolling around anyhow even if he has OYEKU.

One question I kept asking is: pls what is the economic usefulness of this dried sambisa forest to this country that the millitary can not map it out and rains bombs on it to turn it upside down and make sure nothing remain standing there be it tree or animal or terrorists? Is their oil in the forest? Is the forest a habitat place for human? All I know is its a dead forest then destroy it make we rest abeg.

Let me explain something....
Some people are saying why are they standing and walking...

The thing the militants are distance away most of the shot is friendly fire... I have watched several videos of Nigeria army walking around in intense battle.... It's just like you sight an enemy 5 km away and this enemy is actually retreating.... But you need to advance your position but with caution.....

Only problem I have is where are the jets.... In advanced military formation... Coordinate would have been sent... Or pop up smoke for bomb targets to drop...

God bless the Nigeria army

They should move, outflank and encircle the terrorists... staying static and shooting is a waste of time

I respect these people. Wow! Our galant milatary are effective after all. This is commendable.

May God give them more wisdom with this short scene. Their fireworks chief is an expert.
