Information control, that soldier just mentioned the first and last names of his wife and kid, bad idea, heck i wouldn't want my face shown.
The enemy you're fighting live among you, who's to say they won't harm your loved ones if they have the info, bad idea IMO

Egypt kills 40 'terrorists' in crackdown after Giza attack

That's the kind of response Nigeria should initiate whenever BH do stuff like that, let them hear from you. But in our case, oh well

Bro, use your head, why can't you post exactly what was said? Because nowhere in that link anything about begging for mercy was mentioned, nor did it mention anything regarding BH inflicting losses on the Nigerian military.
So why do you have to misinterprete what was said? That's the point of this, i don't even care if this was new or not, why the misleading interpretation.

"Nigeria’s Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, appealed directly to Taco Gilbert, the Senior Vice President of Sierra Nevada Corporation, while he was on a visit to Abuja."

Dictionary
appeal : make a serious or urgent request, typically to the public.

Now how is that begging for mercy? All you need to show is some decency and not act like a clown. I mean, you're supposed to be an adult, yea?
Have a good one.

SupremeCourt:
If you did not see a news report before, whoever posted it is a liar ? . You now see same guy who called my post old info, now posting today a long load of old old old repeated tucano reports that have been repeated tired here.

Interestingly his own post after mine now contains what I said that CAS begged USA manufacturer to deliver 2 tucanos before 2020 due to damage army is facing from Boko Haram.

You have problem with truth being spoken abi? About 120 NA troops killed in 45 minutes, base weapons looted in Metele, very soon Baga base weapons looted again, and my saying it here is wrong, only me said it? It means I ridicule the army according to your own level of sense

People like you are reason Nigerian army is corrupt, insincere, disappointing mess today and Nigeria is upside down like semi-failed state with militants ravaging from our Delta up to Desert, killer herdsmen, armed robbers, cattle rustlers, ransom kidnappers, ritual killers, W. African ISIS everywhere messing up the nation with blood flowing like river Niger.

The result of a Nigeria nation full of incompetence, lies, deception, insincerity, where patriotic people are called bad names for speaking bitter truth.

See, now you understand why i questioned what the guy wrote, i don't understand why some people seems happy when we have setbacks or just enjoy ridiculing the military, and to go as far as to make sh!t up, that's just sad
What was posted wasn't even new content

I'm talking about the contexts of their conversations, not pictures, pics didn't say we were begging for mercy or whatever the term the other guy used, the language of his post was what i wondered about

bidexiii:
And what about the pictures.....

How many bombs are we gonna drop on single targets? dropping a bomb to kill a guy on motorcycle seems like wasting tons of money.
But yea, good images there though.
Wish they can target these guys when they gather around, wipe them out en-mass, that would be great.

lol, when someone typed up unverified info, which made it seems this man was on his knees begging for Tucanos, i had to question that lol

bidexiii:
You'r a doubting Thomas....

Have you seen the article where he stated this?
I find it strange how one would think this man will beg manufacturers for mercy, it's the wording of this i find hard to believe, where is the article stating this? We sure love dragging ourselves thru the mud, don't we

prolog2:
The chief of air Force by telling simple truths is exposing the Nigerian army.

And where is the article stating this?

SupremeCourt:
Nigerian super tucano colours and picture finally revealed.

C[b]hief of air staff also begged the USA manufacturer for mercy to quickly deliver 2 of 12 tucanos earlier than 2020 time schedule, saying the war is going badly for Nigeria again with Boko Haram wrecking havoc on Nigerian army again and again

And how many times are you lot gonna rant about the same sh!t you've talked about a million times?
We know, what else is new? fvk
If you are a Nigerian, then I'm sure you have relatives there, what would have become them, without those same soldiers guarding that Country? The madness of you guys always lumping all soldiers together, regardless of the sacrifices made by many of these men is truly mind boggling. There are soldiers that have died fighting these guys, that escape your minds? If you can do better, why are you here ranting

Omololu001:

Just today alone, I've watch two videos of the Nigerian army doing the only thing they know how to do best... To beat armless civilians, about 5-6 soldiers beating one armless civilian.
Most of the people on this thread do say, the Nigerian army do have an advantage against boko haram during dry season, I guess it's still raining season in Borno state
This army is only active where we have armless civilians, they are about to start their useless Python dance all over Nigeria now, harassing and beating armless civilians... We in the south west and Lagos to be precise are not interested in the useless Python dance, you can go and dance with boko haram in borno state, they are more than able and have the needed dance moves to dance with you.
It takes two to tango, boko haram are very ready to tango with the civilians beaters

It's not that easy, if it was, the Taliban won't still be around after going toe to toe with a so called Super power for more than a decade, now that super power wants to negotiate, same reason why the war in Columbia lasted over 50yrs or so.
Now I've had people say we shouldn't compare ours with that of the US in Afghanistan, simply because we are in our own backyard, please, what has the Govt done for the people living in those remote areas? As far as they know, they have no Govt. With all the power the US brought to bear, they still couldn't win, even with local troops.
If boko haram have a structure, where they live and hang daily, this war would be over months after it started.
Soldiers have to spread out and defend tons of town and villages, Boko don't have to do any of that.
All they have to do is overwhelm a certain position, and disappear afterwards.
Now where they disappear to is the question lol, how on earth are these people just dispersing without any asset tracking them to their last known location? weird.
That said, our own failure against these guys have been spectacular , it shouldn't be this bad for our troops

prolog2:
This looks like an attempt to excuse incompetence. Hit and run was created thousands of years before air Force was created. Yet some people were able to fight against hit-and-runners.

Sad to hear this Chief, hang in there, it's a sad situation over there.

CNNNIGERIA1:
RIP AUSTIN OGEDENGBE
He always called me Bros, we met last at the mess, he is no more, killed by BHT.
He was a gentleman, simple and easy going but lost to those who love no good.

Na him dey write the check? you people are funny, it's not up to him to acquire air-frames, he can state what's needed, if his superiors say NO, what's he supposed to do? Rob Russia? or Belarus lo

Maduawuchukwu:
Apart from troop welfare has the present CAS invested heavily in airframe acquusitions?

"Similarly, a Search and Rescue team has been constituted."

I'm guessing that's a coded word for few soldiers missing?

Syria downed couple of US aircraft? In which reality did that happen?
Assad won't dare attack US aircrafts, I mean, what's the point? There are US troops in Syrian territory, why didn't Assad attack them? He do that and its over for him, no joke.
And to say the US military is leaving out of fear of Russia? What are you talking about dude
US packing up is indeed a victory for Syria, Iran and Russia, i support all those countries, but let's not twist things and make it all sound weird lol.
No such thing as US being scared of Russia

krattoss:
the fear of lord Putin is the beginning of wisdom.
Syrian army has been downing unknown(usa)aircrafts with Russian destroyer s400. Putin backs asad led regime unlike USA who wants to dethrone him.
Russia declared Syrian airspace no flight zone which frustrated the fvck outta US ops.
USA chickened out of fear of general Putin. Nothing more nothing less.
If want no interference with any countries sovereignity,let them pull outta Afghanistan.
Then we might have a paradigm shift. As far as I know for now.
RUSSIA 1..USA 0.

It's tiring, these guys repeat same shi!t over and over, I mean, dang

slimthugchimee2:
And unfortunately you keep on failing to understand that we don't give a fvck about your fucking APC or PDP here.....there's politics section for that, you can open a thread and discuss all that.

I enjoy the military, I love seeing the pictures of military men and the military as a whole I see here.

Whether APC or PDP, nobody gives a fvck here.....

What don't you understand? You have totally ruined this thread because of your rubbish incessant political stupidity.... Seriously what's wrong with you?

What some of you guys don't get is this, without the same soldiers you keep calling cowards, We wouldn't have a country called Nigeria today.
The only entity that has held BH at bay is that same military, so if they run from fighting BH, then please explain who is keeping BH from marching on Abuja and hanging the President and other elected officials?
You can't have it both ways.
I've criticized some of our troops when they lose or run from the enemy, but that's just a fraction of troops deployed, there are units dealing decisive blows to BH on a regular basis, therefore we shouldn't generalize and call all our soldiers cowards and only able to beat civilians, that's ignorance

2:19.. I have never seen a soldier play guitar while matching lol, that was a first, that was funny and so out of place lol

You know say Naija no dey unveil new assets unless you have those tribal chiefs present.
A few of them dey Saudi Arabia dey undergo treatment, when them don dey well enough and come back to Naija, na then we go see our Yahbon

jakeporeshenko:
NAF is busy winging new UAV pilots and in their own magazine and press releases they have confirmed the purchase of UCAV from UAE (yahbon flash 20/40) and months ago Tdayof even claimed that he has access to pictures of these drones at Markurdi... so is this secrecy due to the controversial nature of armed drones or is NAF havin technical issue with attaining operational status/capability

E-rats, seriously? oh man, you be one crazy human being lol

rugged7:
Lol...

Buharideen e-rats are a special breed.

The hypocrisy just makes one's skin crawl...

Exactly, but unless they are not in custody of troops and pose a threat, such execution is unwarranted, but we all know even the most powerful countries out there have soldiers that do these things, except not so glaring to the point of sharing it with the world.
You executed a bad guy, keep it under wraps , not record it, doing that shows these soldiers either have little respect for the law or chain of command

jteku:
They kept mentioning the guys were responsible for laying mine on their routes.
Generally phones shouldn't be allowed on battle field.

I see some people justifying what the soldiers did, regardless of the crimes those men have committed, those soldiers should be tried and sentence to life in prison for their execution.
You can't claim to be a profession fighting force while executing unarmed combatants, I'm pretty sure those soldiers violated so many laws right there, including murder, you don't become what you are trying to stop.
Personally, I support killing these guys the moment they are caught, but that's just impulses, which is why laws are in place to check them

Morals get dampened because these soldiers don't seems to have capable leaders.
Pay these guys more money, have disciplined leaders in charge of units and give them the tools they need to get the job done, and of course reduce the duration of their deployment, Jeez, 4yrs? That's insane . Soldiers need to have breaks btw deployment.
I still think the welfare of these soldiers aren't prioritized, and if you don't take care of them, what reason do they have to fight and die for people who don't give a damn about them?
This is a time of war, and last thing any military formation need are soldiers who will simply lay down their arms and run and never to be heard from again, such soldiers should get life imprisonment, such actions aren't good for the overall well-being of the military.
In combat, you need soldiers you can rely on, that's important, it's a matter of life and death.
So to those that can't stand the heat, don't join in the first place ( We all know it's not an easy ask or Task, being a soldier). Nigeria has enough young men that will join and fight, but their welfare should be priority, above all else
As for the political jargon that's been going on here, chill guys

Una don turn this thing into the British House of Commons.
All we need is thread related contents, not these forth and back. Jeez

How is that "african-militaries-security-services-strictly" working out lol.
If you lots can take your ramblings someplace else, most of us would appreciate it

Nigerians should focus on today's reality, not dwell and relish the successes of the Country's past, that's not reality, reality is today, and the hell Nigeria has become, it's military included. That should be the focus, and how to make it better. Enough said, these forth and back thing is annoying

..

That's a disgusting thing to say, his pot belly? You posted a picture of a man who has just being victimized, killed and you are making fun of his belly? Seriously? That's effed up dude. Regardless of what he did or didn't do, no need for such senseless remark.
I don't know the man, and don't support any political party, before anyone think I'm Buhari's forgotten son

krattoss:
the hate u gave to little ones fvcks everybody

How the hell did this man reach his career peak with those potbelly
Rip to the dead..

Sure no need to use overwhelming force when faced with crowds like that, at the same time we have certain groups in that country that have no respect for the rule of law nor respect the right of others to their property.
Some people in that crowd were throwing stones, and soldiers do have the right to self defense, but when assailants are mixed with unarmed civilians, it become dicey , but such force shouldn't have been used, kicking and beating people like that is part of the unprofessionalism we've been talking about, all they had to do was detain those they caught and take them to custody, no need for the assault.
Both sides are at fault here.
If told to disperse ,why not respect that? Instead of literally trying to overrun men with guns, what did you think was gonna happen?
What would you do if hundreds of angry people descend on your position? Fight hand to hand? They used the only tool they had, that was their gun. Not saying anything here was right, but both sides are to blame, you can't attack or confront armed troops and expect them to stand there and watch while being stoned to death.

What you do is of no consequence to me bro, just pointed out the hypocrisy in your comment.
And no, nothing wrong with having a discussion, it's been done a million times here, so not saying i was following your footstep, so whatever you stole is your business. why the drama.
So will patiently wait for those pics, wouldn't wanna ruin ya thread
Have a good one Chief
