My observation after watching this close encounter between the Nigeria military and BH terrorists.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSENCZlL7-shttps://www.nairaland.com/5461464/soldier-shares-video-encounter-boko
I must admit, being a soldier at the war front requires a certain level of uncommon bravery and training. Thank you to all fallen soldiers who sacrificed their life and those still sacrificing on a daily basis so that the country may one day be at peace.
That being said, after critical examination of the 24 seconds video, I think I see men exhibiting nonchalant attitude and lack of basic open field fighting techniques.
1 second... Shows a soldier ducking and running towards a tank where 8 other soldiers where standing making 9 soldiers.
1 to 11 seconds... also shows 3 soldiers kneeling and actively engaging a tank that the BH was using as a shield.
8 seconds... Shows BH tank make a tactical reverse, putting its two fighters in clear vision to engage both the 3 shooting soldiers and the 9 other military men standing by the tank
10 to 13 seconds saw a dramatic twist. Two soldiers taken down, other 9 soldiers displaced.
My question is this, from 1 to 8 seconds why weren't the 9 soldiers engaging that tank?? Could it be bravery, over confidence or nonchalant attitude? Wetin dem dey use bullets do ehen! At that close range wey dem suppose scatter that tank with bullets!!
17 seconds starts with a soldier shouting "Hey Boko" followed by firing a man portable shoulder air defense missile or rocket launcher ...With another voice urging him "something lai dat, something Lai dat"
Why did they have to wait so long before firing the rocket launcher??

There was no manpad air defence missile fired in that video , what was fire was a regular rocket propelled grenade and secondly there was no single tank in that video what you saw where two armored personnel Carriers (APCs) and the belonged to our own forces

Why can't the army go all out war against these riff raff?
Since its no longer hit and run or using child suicide bombers.

i just think the military tacticians are incompetent. if i was in their position, i would engage in proper tank warfare. overwhelming the enemy positions with hundreds of tanks with air support. instead the army is just holding positions waiting till the terrorists attack.

Assuming they really wanted to end the war!

What do you expect when you have cows at the helm of affairs in the military...?, only show gallantry when they meet armless innocent citizens that they’re meant to protect.. they must fight that war ooo..

We had just 4 main battle tanks and it's seems Boko Haram has carted most away sef

Enemy don't announce , I'm coming , element of surprise is key .n our soldiers r aware , hence very ready .. At a base , territorial mapping is done , n manned , with soldiers rotating shift at advantage position .. when enemy turned in with very heavy artillery , in numbers n power , very few base in the world could withstand that , we are brave , doing our best to hold grounds ... Efficient air support would ve been the best option at such critical moment but where is it ? , ill training has never been our problem.. the rocker launcher is fired at d tank , u can c our soldiers engaging to take out the enemies advantage.

so dry, only if you know how stale and dumb you just sounded.... which war has Nigerian Army ever won in their history... zoo indeed...

Our military generals are the real continuity in the BH activities. Deploying 5 fighter jets of The Nigeria Air force will ground the activities of boko in sambisa. But, they won't do it but waste the lives of innocent foot soldiers with little intelligence feed back because of billions they gain monthly. Engage the Airforce and see the difference in few weeks.

This is what u get when u have incompetent cows heading the affairs of Nigeria. Thanks to nepotism and tribalism.

Op, bullets can't do much harm on tanks. RPG or planted explosives(eg C4) would have been better. But they can't get close enough to plant any explosive.
