i beg point of correction.nigerian troops don't operate depn in cameroon territory

ugo4u:
I agree they won't sell to Nigeria, not really because of the reason you stated cos in the first place The black hawk is owned by a Russian coy, Sirkozky won the contract to build a reliable bird that would replace the Huey in Vietnam.
I believe the reason why they won't sell to Nigeria is cos of human rights palaver/politics cos even more sophisticated american birds like the Apache have being sold to some Asian countries close to China, so I don't really think technology theft could be the reason for them not selling to us.

Sikorsky was an American. Sikorsky is a US company. I am sure a bigger company has bought them up now.
I am not even sure he was ever a Russian for more than ten years as a child. He was brought into the US and became a successful airplane and chopper designer.

jpphilips:
Sikorsky Russian company?

The things we read on nairaland.

A Ukrainian immigrant founded a company in America in 1923, now means it's Russian.


He ran to wiki and then came over to nairaland to pour out his newly discovered wisdom.

Troops Repel BHT Attack on Michika in Adamawa State. BHTs met their Waterloo and suffered heavy casualties yesterday evening 18 March 2019 when they attempted to infiltrate Michika in Adamawa State.

At about 7.20 pm, gallant troops of 115 Task Force Battalion deployed at Lassa in Borno State received a distress call from vigilantes at Maikadiri village on movement of suspected BHTs along Road Maikadiri – Shuwari enroute Michika.
The troops immediately organized blocking positions and swooped on the terrorists which led to exchange of fire. The terrorists attempted to escape but were intercepted and suppressed with heavy volume of fire.

Consequently, the gallant troops with reinforcement from 143 Battalion Gulak engaged the terrorists on Two Front Coordinated Attacks. The BHTs were completely routed by the troops, neutralizing many of them while others fled in disarray due to superior firepower.

As a result, they hastily evacuated most of their corpses under the cover of darkness. The entire area has been dominated by own troops and the situation is completely under control. Items captured from the terrorists include One Ford vehicle, two Toyota Starlet vehicles loaded with foodstuffs, one motorcycle and one tyre inflating machine. Further exploitation is to be conducted this morning. Calm has since returned to the city and inhabitants of the town are hereby enjoined to report the presence of strange faces in their localities and go about their normal businesses.

You are Kindly requested to disseminate this information to the general public through your various medium. Thank you for your cooperation.

This looks like shekau faction, seems they saw the military arriving and fled in a hurry

doziex:
About 8 su-25s and 3 mig-29s. They were flown by Belarusian mercs I believe. Lack of activity could be due to pilot finance issues or the sand storm damage from last year.

Would have ignored you but doing so will give you a false believe that you have sense. No one is a rapporteur of knowledge, I never claim that i'm wiser or more knowledgeable than anybody here. I am learning alot, and I believe many people following this thread do, if I make a honest mistake it's not out of place for someone to make corrections. All this while I had thought Sirkosky was a Russian coy b4 someone raised an objection to it which I have accepted after one or two checks, if you claim I go to wiki to pick the info atleast your common sense would have told you otherwise because in Wikipedia they clearly made it known that it is an American Company. Well that's by the way I know you've being craving for attention. Enjoy your 1 minute attention while it last, for this is the last time I'll be dignifying you with a response. Gracias

What a waste of money!
It's not as if we elected a new government.

klhazhik:
Like I can't understand...
How is money being wasted

Xbee007:
Why do we need such big ceremony when we are swearing in an incumbent president?
