Toju200:
now I'm sure most of you didn't watch the video Actually they just finished setting on fire a BHT ISWAP camp...
Tho that doesn't justify their way/mode of transportation and mobility.
From what I see it's almost like a battalion or brigade moving to set up another FOB after a successful op
Judging from the Possibly fuel or Water tank, Logistics trucks.
But why didn't they just park all Logistics into 1/2 up Armoured yellow bucket, Troops will move in MRAP or Guntrucks not parking them in a lorry.

Xbee007:

I watched the video and there is no excuse for transporting troops in a volatile region this way.

demolition:
There's info that a soldier shot and killed an officer in Bama.
Any confirmation?

BREAKING: Boko Haram Attacks Convoy Of Borno Governor, Zulum, In Baga | Sahara Reporters

Security sources said that the insurgents attacked the convoy of Zulum at Baga town.

Faithful007:
I don't get why you're defending the jf 17 like this. To a large extent, he is right. You can only compare both in performance. But in weapon systems, the f16 is miles ahead. Jf17 does not even have an aesa radar. But I like the Jf17 still because it is okay. Nigeria does not need to pursue a useless arms race for now. If we keep growing economically, if Egypt like, let them have 1000 f16s, a little sanction will settle any matter, nowadays, nobody can bomb another freely without adequate backup. If am to advise the military, I'll tell them to forget about air superiority and missiles and focus on more attack planes, light attack helicopters and the likes. For example sikorsky militarizes the blackhawk with rockets and precision guns for a cost, you can buy it complet or get an old one and they'll militarize it. A used blackhawk is about 4 million dollars. All these things are helpful to checkmate the spread of terrorism in the North East.

Odunayaw:
Did you follow my posts at all or you were itching to just type. Where did you see me comparing F16s and JF17s? E go good if you de follow things.

I specifically am on his argument about the quality of the jets based on his (1) BAIC/Mercedes (2) Number of users argument.

To your post. Who's considering Air Superiority? Nairaland Air Force? Where did you see arms race in any of the discourse?

The rationale for getting the JFs have been stated by the [real] NAF and over flogged by us on this thread so I don't know what new thing you're saying. The Service needs a multirole fighter. Fangirls are the ones onanating about fighting one Egypt or Chad or whatever

Toju200:
no casualties on the Governors side

SamuelAnyawu:


Such convoy should have a drone. I heard some SEMA staff were abducted tho.

Monguno and Baga road na Hell

Toju200:
Exactly what came to my mind A drone at Least..
But last year or 2018 I presume when he used to visit some Borno towns A mi24v gunship do follow his convoy I've seen it on several occasions

remi1444:
y the Mi24v gunship is pretty cool. the question is why did he stop or why did the gunship stop following him? I shouldn't believe he's trying to prove to the masses that he's not scared to die.

Tobiloba2407:


I want to advise, if you lift someones post, give credit to the person, or a simple reference of where you got the post from. Thank you

dudex82:



To some extent you might be right

But have you seen countless of bidexiii pictures used on his own twitter platform, did he gave credit or reference once ?
Do you run the thread on twitter or you’re just a keen follower, have you for once corrected him of using photos from other military blogs without giving credit to the source.

ugo4u:

You expect NAF to be deploying their air asset that is in short supply to be following the governor around because there are no urgent use for it elsewhere.
If the place he is going to isn't safe, he should sit his ass in Maiduguri all this show off isn't doing the military any good as it makes things complicated for them.

SamuelAnyawu:


He is making a big mistake if he refuses to use a gunship now in Northern Borno.

Tobiloba2407:



I have noticed him taking quotes, stories, updates ,pictures and so on, making it seen like he is the source(might not be his intention), this is the first time I'm advising him.

remi1444:
God forbids he gets killed, ISWAP would party like 99.
