pls what is the benefits of being first to comment?

nothing! How is that for a reply?

That is no drone strike. looks more like an ied

ellechrystal:

Same here

woow. That sounds romantic and seducing

Drone strike should be used against public funds looters

I CANT BE FOOLED; DRONE STRIKE VIDEOS ARE USUALLY INFRA-RED; THIS ONE GET COLOR AND SUPPOSED TANK WEY DEY MOVE AT 140KM/HR....

I understand ur pains Bro. NA is seriously dealing with ur Brodas... Sending them to their virgins... Sorry, but we ll continue to play video games with their lives till they r no more virgins up there...

GEJ IS GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY

mustashfa:
Is either the video is not actually in Nigeria or the target is not a Tank. A tank is not fast like that.

whats your dumb problem. is it that a tank is not fast like that in nigeria or you re just stupid?
so logically what you mean is that outside nigeria tanks are fast like that.

shut the Bleep up. only night strikes are infrared because of the NVG. most Drone strikes are night strikes so your dumbness is forgiven. ask yourself why will any reasonable drone console operator Use poor visual quality infrared during the day.

SirShymexx:
Interesting.

However, how did Nigeria acquire military drones that carry hellfire missile tank-busters?

I believe only the US and Israel have that capability.

Impressive - but the coordinates look suspect. Shifting coordinates...and the target got hit perfectly, this is incredulous.

I hope this isn't another propaganda.

Olodo. What do you know about military hardwares? Pathetic armchair military analysts and failed wannabe rapper.

Do you have any idea what a target lock means? Drones and Jet fighters do not need to keep their crosshair on a locked target to hit it.

They acquire targets electronically and then let off the missiles which follow the targets using heat-seeking technology.

The crosshair following that vehicle was just monitoring its movement until the missile hits after which you can clearly see it retract its surveillance camera.

Use your brain for once sometimes before making silly comments or ignore topics you have no idea of.

I'm sorry, but this pic explains very little

50calibre:
So this blurry picture is supposed to serve as proof that a Nigerian "drone" took out a boko haram tank?

When did Nigeria start operating UAVs? Where did they get it from? A country that barely has a functioning Air Force, all of a sudden possesses the skills & technical know-how involved in carrying out drone operations?

Does this sound plausible to anyone?

how dumb can you be and yet you know how to write in english language. have you been living in a hole? what do you think a UAV is and what do you think a UCAV is? there is hardly any country in africa at present that doesnt operate at least a surveillance or just video coverage drones. the picture you saw ws blurry because Armed drones strike from very high altitude, therefore it takes the high capacity of the drones camera for you to even see anything. or havent you watched drone strikes by US predator drones?
if you listen to news as much as you soend time asking disputing facts you should know that a Armed chinese made drone crashed inside our borders the other week. if you think the drone is not for nigeria or if you think its for France then let me tell you now that the United states cannot make purchase a chinese made drone when they have dozens of more advanced drones in their military collection. France the same way cannot operate chinese made Drones because they get most of their Drones from European producers or the US. so are you telling us that its our francophone neighbours that have it? well france already have a drone base in chad to serve the interest of its former colonies.
so son, look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you re dull.

who told you thats a hellfire missile. you people just try to talk smart and end up being dull. so apart from the Hellfire missile ATGM there are no other ATGMs in the world ni? who even gave birth to you?

leave the fool. i just they vex for some people. look at him talking about hellfire missile tankbuster as if thats the only ATGM in the world.

MadCow1:




What is the source of this video?

Last time I checked, Nigeria didn't own any armed drones..

last time you checked? you re a very foolish person? where do you check this things from? even boys in the defence ministry or armed forces have not completely seen all the assets in the nigerian armed forces inventory.

ichidodo:
Not a tank...most definitely not a drone kill shot...Just a fleeing technical taken out by a nearby tank crew,the specific activity captured by an aerial drone...

it will make more sense if you say it was captured by a surveillance plane.

chisos .......that video is not in Nigeria oo ....... na Isis oooo

zukasteve , DerKaiser and all of you attacking Sirshymexx are actually the ignorant ones here.

He made a valid point. Only few drones can carry anti tank weapons because of the payload weight (They are usually deployed on Helicopters, APC or in person). Apart from the Hell fire missile used the the predator drone, there are few drones capable of doing the same.

Now its either the "drone" in the video is hitting a normal vehicle or the title of the video is not real.

It looks more like a surveillance drone and the explosion looks more like an IED. Even anti tank missile wouldn't have that huge explosive radius on a tank and a tank cant be as fast as it was seen in that video from that altitude.

SirShymexx:


Prick, did you read the link you posted? I know most of you have reading and comprehension problems, so I'll break it down for you.

Excepts:

Although operated by Pakistan, the CH-3 was not previously reported to be in service with Nigeria or neighbouring countries.

While the photographs show the UAV being inspected by African men, the claim that the CH-3 came down in Nigeria remains unconfirmed

Two guided munitions can be seen on the upside-down aircraft; one appears to be an AR-1 laser-guided missile, while the other may be an FT-5: a small Chinese guided bomb that was designed for use with UAVs.

Summary: the drone is operated by Pakistan (made in China), and how it got to naij is still a mystery. So, how's that Nigeria's?

Moreover, AR-1 missiles aren't tank-busters, just normal semi laser-guided missiles...and that alone should tell you that using it on a tank is just dumb. That's like shooting someone with a water-gun.

Also, even if you don't know about military, you should know that coordinate/target needs to be fixed before taking a shot. So, you expect me to believe the shifting crap in that video, no? Go take a nap - it's obvious you done lost ya darn cotton picking mind.

SirShymexx:


More like it.

However, why did they put this tripe out there as a drone strike?

They are just making the country look stupid - only God knows who's reading this thread. Heck, when I saw drone strike on a tank by naij - I just started laughing without even seeing the video. But after seeing the video - I started shedding tears. Comic relief.

C'mon armed drones are top military hardware no country would give you access to like that. And the ones that carry tank-busters are exclusive to only the US and Israel for now (maybe a few European countries) - and there's absolutely no way in hell they'll allow naij near those birds. You don't want folks stealing that technology.

why are you all over this thread embarrasing your parents. what do you mean by tank buster?
cmon! have some decency and shut up. ATGMs is owned by almost every military world over. why do you keep saying this "tank buster" thing, did you see it in a game? if only the europeans have ATGMs then what did the chadians use to take out the libyan Tanks during the toyota war on the aozou strip? missiles are not specifically made for drones, drones are made to operate them. the nigerian army can decide to rebuild the AmeboIII Drone to enable it carry the chinese made AR1 missiles which are also ATGMs ( anti tank guilded missile). the south african made seeker drone carries a missile made by DENEL. so why this depiction of overiped dumbness by you now.

First time of commenting here since 2010. Did Nig Airforce have real drone that can take out anything or its just alpha jet, gunship helicopter or borrowed drone. Though d video is nt accessible here. Make una welcome me now.

ignorance, we should tell you b4 u believe, we got drones mate, take my word for it

SirShymexx:


Bwahahahahaha

You saw that shiit as well.

I'd do a better job in a video game.

Naij has military drones, that carry missiles?

that clearly wasnt a tank. who said it was a tank? an anti tank missile would have a huge explosion, if the initial impact explosion was propped up by inflamables in the target and possible explosives like RPG rockets or grenades.
a week before this video came out we saw a chinese made drone crashed within our borders, this drone was carrying the AR1 ATGM which is an anti tank missile. that car amy not be a tank, but it sure was hit by an external projectile, most possibly our AR1 missiles

come if i hear you say tank buster again. why dont you waste your time and mb and search wikipedia for the AR1. even if the AR1 is not an anti tank missile BH does not operate the kind of tanks that you even need anti tank missiles for. but the AR1 is anti tank guilded missile.( ATGM)

yea we do have UCAVs.

The topic clearly states that it was a boko haram tank which is very false.

Now AR1 missiles on CH -3 drones are armed by TV guided missiles which means that can only hit precision stationary targets. The AR1 cannot handle other types of guidance systems because the radars are usually too heavy for the drones to carry. So there is no way to put a heat seeking missle AR1 on a drone.

Now when you say that an antitank missile can have a huge explosion like that if it was propped up by inflammables, that can be true but it was clear that the target in the video had one direct impact. A situation that would lead to that kind of explosion if it was an anti tank missile will take several seconds after the first hit for other inflamables in the tank to fully explode and not the first hit since most antitank missles have very small armor penetrating radius

Ikengawo:

Thats not a drone, you can notice a shadow movement in the background.
And the bombed vehicle is too flat to be a Tank.

zukasteve:
it will make more sense if you say it was captured by a surveillance plane.

Ichidodo is very correct..it was a nearby tank strike, confirmed by the military.

Please go and sit down in a corner. I do not discuss military with kids who read up nonsense from Wikipedia.

The ediot you are defending categorically stated that due to the erratic movement of the crosshair, there was no way the missile could have hit the vehicle (which obviously isn't a chain tank unless it is the British crusader which was notorious for its speed).

You do not need a crosshair to be fixed on a moving target to be able to hit it and that is my argument.
This is not the Vietnam era where gunships had to deploy endless stream of gunfire and rockets to be able to hit a fast moving target.

Since the cold war era, which ushered in exponential advancement in the creation of military hardwares, most advanced countries have been using heat-seeking technology for their missiles.

Lastly, the missile was obviously fired from the drone or a Lockheed AC-130 gunship or whatever it was as you can clearly see the smoke trail when it was fired and if you know anything about speed, distance and time from mathematics, you would know that the time it hit would correspond with the speed of an average missile fired from such distance.

An IED rarely creates such blast radius unless it is highly sophisticated.

Next time know what an argument is about before jumping in blind.
