Please can someone help me, how can I create a new thread?

The Ezugwu might not be the best looking vehicle, but let us be optimistic.

We have proforce APC and this APC to be proud of.

This variant below has add-on armour.
Are there no better ways of inscribing the name of the behemoth than using stencil?



I think the behemoth looks wonderful from side view, frontal view just a no no for me.

Nigerians and their funny questions. By the way, do you know how to drive? If yes, then it's something possible.

Everyone disembarked from the vehicle, driver side door is opened, he turned on the ignition, place a heavy object on the gas pedal (throttle), put the vehicle in gear and closed the door immediately.

Some VBIEDs employs this tactic especially if the road is not a winding one. Not all VBIED explosions is suicide.

The blood of 2,000 KIA Kurdish fighters and 10,000 WIA, defeated ISIS, not Iraqi army aviation. Helicopters will help but not the winning tool. We all read about it, and experts who witnessed the war tell the world that Kurdish men on ground were main key to victory over ISIS not helicopters.

If you're referring to ISIS defeat in Iraq, what about Iraqi Special Operations Force (ISOF- Golden Brigade) that basically engaged ISIS from the very beginning when other Iraqi Army units fled, and the Shia Militia groups with backing from Iran? These units equally deserve commendation for the defeat of ISIS in Iraq.

The real helicopter gunships are not up to 70. Nigeria had about 12 to 34 A109s doing nothing but utility for many years.
MI 24/35P/35M not all in active service.
I agree we should be using a lot of L-39s in the daytime. F7NI is useless on the battle field only good for destroying bases

F7NI useless? I thought we acquired precision munition kit for the F7s, hence they employment in theatre up north.

Heard a chilling story few days ago from a priest.
I guess he is a chaplain. According to him, they were heading somewhere in a borno village when they noticed the Bush ahead was wavering without wind. So they decided to lie low and send an empty hilux ahead of them.
Immediately the vehicle got to the spot many bokoharam boys pounced on the car firing on it. With that they were able to kill every single one of them. Not one BH soul escaped. It was a total victory for the army..
Many stories will go unheard in this war.Godbless and preserve our soldiers.

NO HIDING PLACE FOR CRIMINALS: AS NIGERIAN ARMY TROOPS CONTINUE TO RAID THE HIDEOUTS OF INSURGENTS, BANDITS, KIDNAPPERS AND OTHER CRIMINAL ELEMENTS NATIONWIDE

Troops of the Nigerian Army continue to raid the hideouts of criminal insurgents, bandits, kidnappers and other criminal elements nationwide with remarkable successes. One of such operations involved troops of 342 Artillery Regiment. The troops, while acting on credible intelligence raided a suspected kidnappers’ den at Ihie Community in Ohaji/Egbema LGA of Imo State. Two suspects, Umah Kingsley and Miss Chukwu Happiness were arrested. Items recovered during the operation include 2 empty magazines and a locally fabricated gun. Similarly, following the alleged murder of one Alhaji Tanko of Janda Village in Jema’a LGA of Kaduna State by unknown assailants, troops of 1 Division Garrison deployed within the area swiftly moved into the suspected crime location and arrested 2 suspects, Danladi Bisallah and Manesa Danladi with a locally fabricated rifle and 12 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition. Also, in two separate night operations conducted by same troops at Gindin Dutse Village and Rijana Forest of Birnin Gwari and Kachia LGAs of Kaduna State respectively, 5 bandits terrorizing areas were neutralized while 3 locally-made guns were recovered from them. the troops also rescued a 12 years old boy, Rabe Abubakar, who was kidnapped on 21st October 2019 by some bandits at Ruwan Sanyi Village close to Liberia Forest in Kubau LGA of Kaduna State. In the course of rescueing Rabe Abubakar, one bandit was neutralised, one motorcycle belonging to the bandits was recovered while 3 other bandits were believed to have escaped with gunshot wounds.

In another development, troops of 1 Brigade Garrison raided suspected kidnappers’ hideout at Dogun Karfe Forest in Bakura LGA of Zamfara State. Troops however recover one AK 47 Rifle, 4 magazines and 80 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition which were abandoned by the fleeing suspects. Similarly, troops of 16 Brigade Garrison (Main) raided a suspected kidnappers hideout at Isisiama Village in Akuku –Toru LGA of Rivers State. During the operation, troops arrested one suspect and recovered 3 pairs of military camouflage uniforms, 2 Shell Petroleum Development Corporation (SPDC) Overall Suits, 5 Speed Boats, and 2 Generating sets. Other items recovered include; one pumping machine, one power bank, 4 mobile phones, 117 Voters Cards, one boat engine and one Box Radio.

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai wishes to thank all well-meaning Nigerians for their continued support and goodwill towards the Officers and men of the Nigerian Army. All law abiding citizens are requested to go about their lawful businesses without fear of molestation and intimidation. .

Looks like we have a bit longer to wait for JF-17.

“We have made substantial progress in terms of acquiring the JF-17 (Thunder) fighter aircraft from Pakistan and I believe that very soon our officers and men will move to Pakistan for training while the production of the aircraft is ongoing.”

SU 27/30 are also not off the shelf. There is no show room where you buy top of the line aircraft and take it home.

One of the advantages of Buhar's approach however is Russian govt can give us from their own stock, do crash program for our pilots which still won't take below 18months OR better still, Russian pilots come and do the job temporarily. That is how complex procurement is. Its only easy in the mind of the ignorant

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE BURATAI FAMILY.

Lt. General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, his father, and his son are all men of the military, with distinction.

FATHER: In 1942 Alhaji Yusuf Buratai (Senior) the father of COAS joined the West African Army at the tender age of 18. He fought in World War II in 1945, especially the war in Burma.

The Burma Campaign in the South-East Asian theatre of World War II was fought primarily between the forces of the British Empire and China, with support from the United States, against the forces of the Empire of Japan, Thailand, and the Indian National Army.

British Empire forces peaked at around 1,000,000 land, naval and air forces, and were drawn primarily from British India, with British Army forces (equivalent to 8 regular infantry divisions and 6 tank regiments), 100,000 East and West African colonial troops, and smaller numbers of land and air forces from several other Dominions and Colonies.

The Burmese Independence Army was trained by the Japanese and spearheaded the initial attacks against British Empire forces.
Buratai Senior later joined the services of escorting ships from Lagos to Cotonou and Cape Town in South Africa.

- SON (COAS): Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai is the current and 26th Chief of Army Staff of Nigeria, appointed to the position by President Muhammadu Buhari on July 13, 2015.

He was commissioned in 1983 and has had multiple command, administrative, and instructional appointments.

In January 1981, Buratai attended the Nigerian Defence Academy Kaduna as a member of the 29 Regular Combatant Course (29 RC). On successful completion of his Officer Cadet training, he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant on 17th December 1983 into the Infantry Corps of the Nigerian Army.

Subsequently, he served at AHQ Dept of Army Policy and Plans, Abuja; Assistant Chief of Staff Administrative Matters, HQ Infantry Centre Jaji.

Additionally, he was again at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College as Director Dept of Land Warfare from where he was appointed Commander 2 Brigade, Port Harcourt, doubling as Commander, Sector 2 JTF Operation PULO SHIELD.

Upon promotion to the rank of Major General, he was appointed Commandant, Nigerian Army School of Infantry, Jaji; thereafter he was appointed Director of Procurement DHQ before being appointed Force Commander of the newly reconstituted Multinational Joint Task Force (MJTNF) under the auspices of the Lake Chad Basin Commission and Benin Republic, an appointment he held till he became Chief of Army Staff.

His operational deployments include Military Observer at the United Nations Verification Mission II in Angola, Op HARMONY IV in the Bakassi Peninsular, OP MESA, Op PULO SHIELD, Op SAFE CONDUCT, MNJTF, Op ZAMAN LAFIYA and Op LAFIYA DOLE. He was appointed Chief of Army Staff on July 13, 2015.
