Here is what we need. Just came out from repelling 45mina plus ambush. No casualty. Convoy made up of NA regular/ NAF rgt. 11 BHT dead and no casualty on our side.

I think having your own tactics makes you turn around an ambush. As an officer, I have never taken casualty during an ambush. Take cover, identify the situation and see the best strategy. Once you start loosing guys, your firepower capability goes down.

BHT opened fire on our convoy, we spaced out to id location. Moving on could have been dangerous as ambush at times do have IED traps ahead.

Spaced out, two armored hilux came in to cover position with soldiers taking cover with the vehicles. Gunners launched a suppressive fire on the location but as a wide area, we had to prosecute on foot.

7 bht sent to their 72s.

Have you been ambushed ambushed in the night; that's totally another different scenario..

God's speed @allexpensive. Not many possess the courage to do what you guys are doing. Year in, year out. Proper equipment or not. We owe you guys a debt of gratitude that cannot be repaid. I hope Nigerians as a whole start to act like they understand this concept. if our army fails, then Nigeria fails as a country.
The UN, the U.K. And the US will NOT be running here to our aid.

I wanted to opine about fighting through an ambush.
(1) First of NA, I beg, no B vehicles should be used where an A vehicle is needed.
I remember last year, when we lost 3 or 4 young lieutenant colonels in one month. They had to show courage and drive in the lead thin skin death traps aka hiluxes, for their men to follow suit and lead convoys that were definitely going to be ambushed.
(2) Any armor at all causes BHTS to work harder at trying to cause casualties. They wouldn't get it cheaply.

Also, armor would allow a soldier to possibly survive the initial attack. And then fight through.

Okay, thanks. Is it a definite or just a repetition of the previous story about maybe going for it?

So basically GSL the Indian shipyard was the lowest bidder (Cheapest price to fabricate both vessels), that next phase is for the baby to evaluate their facility and determine wether or not GSL would be able to build the boats, that’s why the CNS visited the shipyard.

According to both parties the visit was a huge success so the next step is to award the contract with 15% payment upfront.

That is a fan boy video rehashing the the rantings of stupid Ind... media.

NN is yet to announce the winner of the tender.

Anything other than a official statement from NN is not worth the time.

Hahaha, this man is funny, no offense intended. Illegal? Says who? If i capture a BHT , and i was sure he is one of them, i will torture the hell out of him. No such thing as illegal, Even the USA that harps on these things carry out torture, not saying we should use them as yardstick, my point is, what you do in secret is for you to know, if it's illegal, well you don't announce it to the world that you are doing it.
I have zero issues with torturing terrorists, these are people who burn babies alive, and you wanna talk about illegal? Unless that law was written by God, i say F illegal
The continuous existence of these BHT guys, is what's illegal

NAF QUICK RESPONSE GROUP GUSAU ARRESTS 16 SUSPECTED ARMED BANDITS AS MORE AIR ASSETS ARE DEPLOYED

The 207 Quick Response Group (QRG) of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) in Gusau disclosed yesterday, 25 July 2018, that it had arrested 16 suspected armed bandits while participating in the ongoing Operation SHARAN DAJI, which is under the auspices of Defence Headquarters (DHQ). The outgoing Commander of the Unit, Group Captain Caleb Olayera, made the disclosure while receiving the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, who was on an operational tour of the NAF unit in Gusau. The visit by the CAS, who also announced the deployment of more air assets to support the Operation, was part of measures being taken to add value to the current security architecture in Zamfara State in terms of air operations and NAF Special Forces Operations.

According to Group Captain Olayera, aside from its ground operations, 207 QRG had been conducting air operations such as Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, armed reconnaissance and Close Air Support, as part of its contributions to the DHQ-led Operation SHARAN DAJI. He further revealed that in the course of its operations, 207 QRG had also arrested a major hard drugs dealer, who was promptly handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency for prosecution. In addition, the Unit had recovered 3 guns, 7 cartridges and a magazine loaded with 30 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition from suspected armed bandits. Furthermore, the NAF Unit had rescued 3 injured villagers at Boko Village as well as 5 policemen held hostage, in addition to liberating 3 kidnapped victims. The outgoing Commander thereafter briefed the CAS on challenges, which if resolved, would further add impetus to the ongoing operations.

In his address, Air Marshal Abubakar commended the personnel of 207 QRG for their efforts so far in seeking to restore peace to Zamfara State. He equally saluted their constant bravery in the face of danger while reminding them that, as trained soldiers, they had a responsibility to protect the lives and properties of innocent Nigerians. He assured the personnel that the Nation appreciates their daily sacrifices and that President Muhammadu Buhari, in particular, was very mindful of them. The CAS then announced some new steps being taken by the Federal Government to enhance their welfare. He also immediately gave directives to the senior NAF officers concerned towards immediately addressing all the challenges presented by the Commander as well as those identified by him in the course of the visit. In a subsequent interview with the Press, Air Marshal Abubakar said that the NAF needs intelligence from the populace to help in dealing with the security challenges in the State. He therefore urged the people to support the Armed Forces by providing credible intelligence on the locations of the armed bandits. The Air Chief acknowledged that the projection of air power had natural limitations, such as weather amongst others, but that notwithstanding, the NAF would continue to do its best, within the ambit of safety.

Air Marshal Abubakar and his entourage later paid a courtesy visit to the Government House in Gusau, where the Deputy Governor of Zamfara State, Mallam Ibrahim Wakala Mohammed, and other top Government officials received them. The Deputy Governor saluted the courage and efforts of NAF personnel deployed for operations in the State. According to him, the NAF personnel were striving hard to protect Zamfara State people and “indeed, we have witnessed steady progress in security”, he added. He also acknowledged and praised the personal commitment of Air Marshal Abubakar, whom he said, had visited the State severally. He then stated that more could still be done to ensure the security of the people and he accordingly requested for even more commitment from the NAF personnel deployed to the State. The CAS thanked the Zamfara State Government for its support and solicited more cooperation in the area of intelligence, which according to him is “critical to successfully combatting asymmetric challenges”. He then seized the opportunity to announce that more NAF personnel and air assets had been deployed to add value to the ongoing operations in Zamfara State and environs. The CAS and his entourage had since departed from the State.
