I think after the consecutive defeats they've suffered with NA outpost they have decided to lay low for awhile, the raining season his not helping them also.
But trust me the airforce is not loosing it's guard.

Some random lunatic decides to launch a tirade against the Nigerian army Tactical Patrol Vehicle, as he puts it, it's a random piece of junk.

Yet, the coward couldn't stay on to defend his comment. He immediately deletes his profile after his comment.

Fools like @Stephandeswardt decide to shower him with support, at least he wasn't cowardly to delete his profile. Some other fools decided to hide behind likes to show support for the coward.


What is the Nigerian Army Tactical Patrol Vehicle. This vehicle is primarily a High Mobility Vehicle designed for Patrols. A number of countries around the world use High Mobility Vehicles, the most popular been the Humvee.

They are designed to overcome obstacles, rough terrains and are in many cases referred to as All Terrain Vehicles.

The Lunatic claimed our TPV is a badly done weld job. A junk. He circled a number of areas before fleeing like a buffoon.

So here are some examples from around the world with similar designs.

The Tactical Patrol Vehicle follows a similar design principle.

See the vehicle in motion in this video.

The TPV might not be aesthetically pleasing at this point but if it does what it is designed to do, why bother about beauty?

AntiWailer:
Rubbish.

Just ensure all the tolls are used at all times.

Those chronic idiots at times open just 3 while the others will be X

"High quality of Nigerian Engineering"......maybe in a parallel universe.

Anyone who has ever worked with welding and sheet metal can tell you what's immediately wrong in that pic.
Stop being so impressed with nonsense. This is a rushed piece of junk.

The ARA on the other hand looks good.

TUYO's name was so popular in the SW as ROTIMI was in the SS , in terms of ruggedity back then...it was said that TUYO even belong to the Normal OGBONI package et al..so nobody saw his death coming that soon ,at the time. Anyway, I agree that the best way of life is to stay away from Cultism. It limits people!

PRESS RELEASE

NORTH EAST BECOMING UNBEARABLE TO TERRORISTS AS TROOPS INTENSIFY CLEARANCE OPERATIONS, *Neutralise 3 terrorists
*Capture 2 Gun Trucks
*2 Anti Aircraft Guns and
*1 Motorcycle

Following sustained robust and aggressive clearance operations, in recent days, troops had recorded tremendous successes in the fight against terrorism and insurgency in the North East. Dozens of Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters were annihilated, large cache of assorted arms, ammunition and so many variants of gun trucks and other fighting vehicles were captured.

Additionally and most importantly, the operation resulted in the rescue and eventual liberation of over 100 women and children from the grip of the criminals/terrorists.

Therefore, in order to consolidate on the numerous
successes so far achieved, the rugged troops of 112 Task Force Battalion deployed at Mafa in Borno State had effectively dealt ruthlessly with members of BHTs/ISWAP terrorists in Mafa, Mafa Local Government Area of Borno State, when some terrorists attempted to attack Mafa on 24 June 2019.

The terrorists failed attack on Mafa was as a result of available intelligence indicating the desperate longing for food and other logistics by terrorists necessitated by the recent, incredibly tireless and ferocious troops' operational exploits.

During the failed attack, terrorists in 5 gun trucks and several motor cycles were seen. Consequently, the troops reacted swiftly with heavy fire power forcing the terrorists to scamper for their dear lives, and recovered 2 Gun Trucks mounted with Anti Aircraft Guns and a motorcycle and the extermination of three (3) terrorists. There were indications that some of the insurgents members were wounded in an exchange of fire.

The General Officer Commanding (GOC), 7 Division and Commander Sector 1 Operation Lafiya Dole, Brigadier General Abdulmalik Bulama Biu had since visited the conflict location with reinforcement.

While being conducted round the camp to assess the situation, the GOC urged the troops to remain focus and not to be carried away by the successes. He directed them to redouble their efforts and doggedly maintain the momentum until they win the war on terrorism for Nigeria through total victory against the bandits.

Similarly, he assured them of the Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai's continued appreciation and support in the collective struggle to crush the insurgency.

*SECTION OF INTERNATIONAL AND LOCAL MEDIA AIDING BOKO HARAM NARRATIVE*

The attention of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) has been drawn to an emerging pattern of international/local media coverage of the crisis in the Lake Chad Area which suggests sympathy and support for Boko Haram activities and narrative, at the expense of the efforts being made by a coalition of the Armed Forces of countries of the Lake Chad Basin.

This pattern of coverage has been observed over a period, but the recent report of the clash between Sector 1 of the MNJTF and Boko Haram Terrorists in Darak in Northern Cameroon, which portrayed Boko as being dominant, has called for serious concern. In this instance, the casualty figures quoted by the AFP and slant given by its local collaborator the News Express (on line) is very unfortunate.

For the record, two days ago, about 300 heavily armed Boko Haram Terrorists invaded Darak. However, they were met with stiff MNJTF resistance resulting in the a bloody gun battle which lasted for several hours.

At the end of the fire fight, the following statistics were recorded:

- 10 MNJTF personnel killed in Action.
- 8 MNJTF wounded and evacuated for medical attention.
- 8 civilians killed and one wounded.
- 64 Boko Haram Terrorists killed.
- 8 captured.
- Several wounded.
- 3 Boko Haram boats destroyed.
- several arms and ammunition confiscated.
This bold and ruthless response by the MNJTF is in keeping with the resolve of the Force to make the Lake Chad Area untenable for terrorists of whatever persuasion.

The MNJTF understands that the news business thrives on timeliness. However, it is always desirable to ensure that facts and accuracy are not lost in the quest for urgency, in order not to give the impression that evil is favoured over good.

To facilitate the need of accuracy, the MNJTF is always ready to respond to requests for verification or confirmation of information on occurrences within its Area of Operation. The media is therefore urged to keep faith with a key tenet of the profession, which is the sanctity of facts.

Please, disseminate this information to the general public.

Your mates are spending more than that on their girl and you are here crying coz of 500k!!!

If you are truly in love with that girl, everything about her should come first!!
I can't date someone that doesn't have the welfare of my family at heart!!
So, you allowed her to use the money to settle family issues when you could have done it as her boyfriend!!

You are such a pathetic broke ass guy!
Free that girl so that she can be with someone that loves and value her!!

MODIFIED!!!
See dem broke ass niggas quoting me!!!
103 quotes in one post and still counting!!!
Its only the broke ones that wail coz of money!!
Real guys spend lavishly on their girl without crying online!!!

Stephandeswardt:


What makes you certain?

Not random killing either was it targeted. Some killed in airstrikes, based on information or tip-off, some killed in action etc....

shadowprimezero:
I'm afraid Cameroon was not involved in that operation in any way. It was Nigeria, T'Chad and Niger. The MRAPs were Nigérian , Artillery was D-30 2A18 122mm Nigerian howitzers, ground troops Nigerian also and the Mi-8 helicopter T'chadian.

Malkanory is in the T'Chad-Niger-Nigeria sector of the lake T'Chad hence the involvement of the national forces. The latest Nigerian-led MNJTF strategy on operation Yancin Tafki against ISWAP focuses heavily on cooperation.

You can clearly see the MRAP with a Niger flag and the helicopter with a T'chadian TT- serial number.

Does not seem to respond when there is good news about Nigeria.
Let there be bad news
Let Premium times who only half the time gets the news right he is on it.
His comments about not caring about other countries losing equipment are asinine.
Because this is war every belligerent loses equipment that is fact regardless of competence or incompetence
The US lost 2 Chinooks in a single operation to possible RPG from the Taliban
Does that mean they don't fly anymore.
I am thankful that Nigeria is now producing the ARA.
If a military commander is competent he would know how to hold / repel a base
It doesn't come down to Premium times reporting an elementary three pronged advance with their embellishing.They were not there.
My point is incompetence can rear its ugly head at the FOB level regardless.
But for him to insinuate Nigeria shouldn't manufacture its own equipment because it might be stolen is ludicrous..How many engagements have been repulsed by the NA on a daily basis ?
That is not reported.
How many times have we seen our boys stand up ?
A setback is a a setback no bones about it.
But his cavalier defeatist attitude is what he is made of .
And no one gives a �'s ads about his ex girlfriend who had enough sense to leave his sorry ads��

I've noticed how most times you always want to use [/i]wayo[i] to insult Nigeria. These kind of people behave like friends but laugh behind your back and might even stab you on the back. If the almighty US with billions of dollars in defence funding and a military industrial complex as compared to non could loose FOB's, military equipment and men to the Taliban, then I don't know why you should be "not at the rate of Nigeria military lol". Is your country helping in funding for the equipment?

LTGEN:

What exactly do you want?
You have never made a mistake in your life?
We have lobbied for 5 years on this blog for Nigerian Manufactured MRAPS
Nigerian Manufactured APCs
When do we congratulate our own?
We highlight and harshly criticize the NA which we rightly .
But We can only make fun and in jest wish for BH to seize the equipment.
The US lost equipment and Men to the Taliban
SANDF lost equipment in the DRC.
I know you meant it in jest but let us learn to praise our own.
Nigeria has to start somewhere.
We can't keep buying big foot and reva
Nah wen we go get our own naw?

Odunayaw:
Youe post I quoted reeks of "why buy when it could be lost" . Much different from this.

Yes I agree. Only that I don't see why we shouldn't get MRAPS because of threats of loss

It's quite weird we never lose on advance but suffer in defense. Its really weird

We should then ride in boots and wheelbarrows?

Nigerian Army receives new indigenous MRAP
Erwan de Cherisey, Paris - Jane's Defence Weekly


The Nigerian Army has taken delivery of five improved Proforce Ara mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicles in early March, an industry source told Jane’s .

These are now deployed in northeast Nigeria as part of the ongoing counter-insurgency campaign against the militants popularly known as Boko Haram.

The new vehicles are a heavily modified derivative of the original Ara, eight of which were delivered to the Nigerian Army in 2018.

The same industry source said the new variant features significant enhancements, most notably a fully monocoque hull. The previous Ara used a Tatra 2.30 TRK 4×4 truck chassis. Design work began in January 2018 with feedback from the military on the original Aras being used to refine it further.

EVarn:
Isn't the Nigerian Airforce becoming too interested in terrestrial capabilities?.

Of course,I understand the need for trained manpower, but I think this is more the domain of the NA. All these resources we are spending to expand NAF infantry should be used to order more combat and surveillance aircrafts, and improve on R& D of local components.
