While ON THE OFFENSIVE!

Or don't you know, BH probe, flee when the Air calvary arrives and returns to fight as soon as they are gone?

oyinpr:
that's why the army needs an air arm that is dedicated to providing close air support.

Dont know how gard system is done but in a war zone its impossible to be caught unaware for this kind of hudge attacks.

in the miradors there is always soldiers 24/7 and down near the miradors also a rotation of soldiers to defend and watch the soldiers on the miradors . even if a sniper silently killed 2 , 3 guys on miradors to infiltrat a team and attack from inside defenses (used by terrorists in algeria in 90's) . the soldiers near watching the mirador give the alerte .

And when alerte is given, urgence plan thats was done during training start . the gard team armed and always on standby take position to stop first waves giving time to all soldiers to equip and take defensive positions .

So dont think they could be caught unaware if standard gard system was applied

If this close air support is tied down to "helping them win in their own base!", how many aircrafts will be left for other duties like supply, recon and for those that should actually be fighting forward

Sizzorkay:
bless you.
That's what i just said, have people on watch and on patrols etc, but some people thought i watched too much movies, unreal, this is basic common sense
Not the first time news sources has quoted soldiers saying they were caught unaware, that's lack of discipline, you can't be caught unaware in a war zone, no one said it's easy, i keep stressing that point.
hundreds of terrorists just don't appear from thin air.
How does this not piss people off

in the miradors

Henry240:

It's a massive lack of discipline. That soldier who said that ought to be in the guardroom cooling off.

Henry240:
If they were inadequately equipped, how come Boko Haram made away with 'large cache of arms, ammunition, and military equipment?'

Instead of them to stand and fight, they cowered and were massacred.

Sizzorkay:
Some people sha.
So after what, e, that's how people get killed, because that unit just collapsed .
I guess we should all wait until those new weapons arrive.
And to those who don't get it, it's the right of the citizenry to blame and complain when there are setbacks, you can't get mad and force people not to vent, it's unnatural and it won't work.
We vent because lives were lost, weirdly, we are still on same side on this, just pissed that's all

nemesis8u:


What is mirador ?

oyinpr:
I just tire for Nigeria finally

Algerian1:

Dont know how they call them in english . here in the pics

bidex111:



The video shows a large number of insurgents. And the insurgent covering the whole show can't cover the whole attack at once. That means you can't just post four pictures and say these are the numbers of insurgents that attacked the post.

Algerian1:

Henry240:

I feel so ashamed.

It's the sort of rubbish you see people like Bidex111 Supporting.

Incompetence at it's height.

bidex111:


Most they all die before they prove there worth .

Henry240:

The main problem i have with you is your lack of comprehension.

A video or picture gives you a mental picture of what went down in the battle zone. You don't get a full picture but a rough idea of the attack, weapons used and composition.

That's how estimates are done.

nemesis8u:


U was a soldier ?

bidex111:




Most of the equipment APC/MBT on that post where almost not operational, most of these soldiers stood Thierry ground until late casualties where growing and no air support. Sometimes you retriet to fight for another day . Most they all die before they prove there worth, most of you here do not av the balls to blame the right authority.

SamuelAnyawu:
May God continue to save us all here in the Northeast. No where is basically safe any longer

olapluto:


I am really too heartbroken to start analysing the issue. Even more heartbroken that the government and Army HQ are not saying anything. They must bloody take us for fools. Last night, when I saw the video, I couldnt sleep. I was awake till like 4am just having flashbacks of that soldier pleading for his life, and the other well kitted soldiers shot point blank.

BabaOwen:
I thought places like Konduga are heavily fortified by the military and they are safe
