Oga Henry, watch the smoke plume at 11 and 12 o' clock before the VBIED enters the trees.
Something was released from the drone...

Always thought that was some part of the drone that covered the cam when it was zooming in. But what u said was true, watch the impact, the vechile was pushed forward after the impact with the debris moving towards the T-72s which will be the opposite or the debris goes side ways if it was hit by the T-72.
I've seen a hilux take a hit by a T-72 on Syrian war and have also seen a car get hit by a drone numerous times and this looks like its a drone strike. Beside we wouldnt risk a miss from the T-72 since (I assumed) the tank don't have a laser designator to lock on the vechile and with normal shell a miss with the speed of the vechile may lead to a loss of a tank and casualties.

Pre-delivery sea trials of NNS Centenary...all testing and systems debugging done. All possible armament configurations test fired.

The Nigerian stealth OPV arrived Lagos for commission into service without any of these tested guided munitions

Haven watched over and over the Gil file, and the motion of the debris, i have to admit you were right. Debris moving forward instead of backwards suggests a projectile hit the VBIED from above.

Fallen Chadians in war against BH

Fallen Chadians in war against BH

this is how you send off a man that has fought for his country.
and not like this. the world does not need to tell us that there is a very big problem of unprofessionalism in the nigerian military before we know that.
now please compare the way the chadians bury their soldiers and the caricature way in which we bury ours.
look at how disordered and disorganised ours is. the cameraman doing the video coverage in our own is even moving around disorderly qithout being provided a tripod stand, everybody is just on his own like a poorly organised mass burial, look at that of the chadians doesnt it look to you like the burial of Sons and fathers that have given their lives for home and country.

thank God this is a pictographic discussion thread so no Mfxcker can say i am derailing.

now this is how other " weaker" african military's treat their dead heroes.
south africa
egypt.

No offensive to my oga at the top
We do have prblm.
Alive we don't celebrate them
Dead we don't honor them
El Salvo to my neighbors whom have made the ultimate sacrifice for my country men and women

My friend, different scenarios. The Chadian and South African soldiers were repatriated to the airport where ceremonies were held before they are then conveyed to their final destination.

If Nigerian soldiers are killed abroad, the same thing would happen when they are flown in at whichever airport they are received.

The Picture of the Nigerian burial was probably a more local burial at a State military cemetery. And just because the camera wasn't mounted on a tripod has no relevance whatsoever.

Nigerians!!!!

You people complain too much. Nigerian troops like every other troops receive proper military burials.

Here is a cenotaph right in the middle of military cemetery in Abuja, in honour of our fallen troops.

January 15 of every year is armed forces remembrance day, with the President, Vice-President, Senate President, Speaker of the House, Governors and their deputies, Minister of Defence and all service chiefs and members of the diplomatic corp always in attendance.

How many countries in Africa do these?

I don't know what you are complaining about, i really don't know.


Medals are also awarded to troops for valour, courage, selflessness, operational efficiency to troops at ceremonies and on their treatment beds.

I've found this website, it has all the worlds official aircraft inventory(even the ones on order)

Pictures of the parade held in Bangui for the South African soldiers are available.

Yeah, i've noticed same. Asides the 2 U.S drone strikes in somalia last month, military operations have practically been suspended. It almost seems like Amisom and the terrorists are in a recess.

maybe there both tired of fighting..... but with some of there commanders killed recently, maybe the terrorist are taking there time to bury there dead and contemplate. this would be the right time to hit them hard to completely degrade there moral!

But placing a coffin on top of an office table is pretty messed up, shouldn't the Government provide things like stands, and all that. I watched videos of some of the funerals of the soldier who were killed in C.A.R even though South Africa may have different Cultures and Clans and have their own methods of burying their dead, they still received simple stuff like stands, transport, food coffins etc..

I still think the coffee and office tables weren't good enough

There are other pictures available if you decide to google of other Nigerian Armed Forces burials. Anyway, lets not derail the thread with such pettiness as to who holds the best burials.

a complaining nigerian is better than a nigerian that is deceiving himself.
how can you ask such a dumb question like which african nation does that? isnt that the height of mediocrity. how do you even measure the progress of a nation? by comparing it with nations with less means.
i said the way the nigerian armed forces conduct the burial rites of their slain soldiers is very poor and it is only reflective of the level of government unconcern and unprofessionalism in the nigerian armed forces.
please Oga henry and Rka1 post pictures of the best nigerian armed forces cementry you know about, and compare it with that of some other african countries. since we have south africans and kenyans on board i will be posting pictures of the SADF deville wood memorial and other pictures of kenyan Mil cementaries.
the worst thing that could ever happen to a man is to allow his patriotism to blind his eyes to the realities on ground in his country.


now compare this photos of the south african cementry to the epitaph( or whatsoever the f£"k you called it,) that our federal government must have spent some inconceivable amount of money to build.
the most annoying thing about a Nigerian being partisan is that he doesn't mind sacrificing his own interest at the alter of political partisanship

how can you say everything is okay when you know that deep down everything isn't.
did you read the article by the foreign military official on beegeagle's blog? did you not at all see any truth in some of the points he raised?

Meanwhile, BH can be largely defeated by your Army operating with decent ammunition supplies, proper comms systems, working logistics support. Fast jets, tanks are all important and may help a little and you may need them one day to face down other state players, but they will not win this war against BH; their huge costs mean soldiers will go on doing without the basic things they need so badly at platoon, company and battalion level – like radios and ammunition and body armour and medical support and……

have stated times without number that the basic needs of our troops are being abandoned, and the government and her officials with their very dubious intention to gain from embezzling funds meant for the procurement of high tech and heavy military assets which could have being used to improve our troops logistics, feeding ( imagine troops cooking their own food. doesnt this border even you) basic safety kits and meds. they keep telling us that our troops are well kitted. when we know fully well that,that is not the case. what plans are being made for their feeding in frontline camps? what plans are being made to ensure that a soldier wounded in battle is moved to receive standard treatment within the shortest time possible?
what plans are being made to ensure that the children of our dead Men continue to receive government sponsor for their education?
there was a time when the basic need of an infantry man was just a rifle, times have changed.
i see the way top officials of our armed forces react to complaints by men under their command or their relatives about this same issue of poor equipments, logistics and supply. they reply as if they own the life of the men under their command and sometimes drag them to the court martial, the COAS was even threatening to whip up the wives and relatives of officers if they try to protest the deployment of their fathers, husbands and sons to untimely death that could be easily prevented.

the same thing happened when American soldiers were about to be deployed to the gulf war in 1991, the American citizens protested allover and rejected the decision by the government of George H.W Bush ( the senior) to send American boys to defend Saudi Arabia and to force the retreat of Saddam's troop from Kuwait, they feared a repeatation of the Vietnam carnage and kicked against this deployment. but the American government came out and gave one of the world most powerful wartime speech to the Nation.

IF ONE AMERICAN SOLDIER HAS TO GO INTO BATTLE, THAT SOLDIER WILL HAVE ENOUGH FORCE BEHIND HIM TO WIN AND THEN GET OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS WILL NOT BE ANOTHER VIETNAM
George H.W Bush

this is how leaders instill confidence on their citizens and Men.
i for one do not admire mediocrity. so even if tomorrow the Nigerian government purchases the Russian T50 stealth aircraft, i will still not be impressed till i start seeing the changes going on in the military on the life of each and every single officers and men of the Nigerian armed forces.

the difference between the Nigerian Armed Forces in its commitment to the welfare of its officers and men and the SADF can be clearly seen in this picture. now, i do not care how this makes anybody feel, cus i know how it makes me feel. i am not happy with situation that we find ourselves as a nation but as a patriot and not a lover, i am not blind to this inefficiencies and i know that the our war against the insurgency up north, have been greatly influenced by many of this factors hence the massive failure recorded. we ve even gone ahead to start calling our brave soldiers cowards ( Sambo Dasuki. may God punish that man), just because they refuse to fight under the wretched situation in which they are placed.

This guy we came here to post pictures not start an argument, please do not turn this into the thread about who has the strongest military in Africa.!!!!
