You aren't considering the full situation

1. Situational awareness... In the Jungle? You know as well as I that Jungle Warfare is the single most difficult place to maintain decent awareness.

2. They weren't attackers - they were infiltrators. That makes a big difference - in normal warfare the guys with guns are either on your team or not. In Peacekeeping the guys with guns could be anyone and it just so happens that they were wearing uniforms of a 3rd party (Congolese Army).

The only valid criticism is that they didn't entrench their position better and that the weren't doing their dawn/dusk stand-to. These are objective facts that are readily available.

Everything else depends on variables that we don't know and thus cannot pass judgement on - ie: maybe the Tanzanians saw the ADF coming from miles away, but ignored them because they wore FARDC uniforms? Maybe they didn't! We don't know so we can't say.

Frumentum:

Someone here, I think it was Dayo, posted images of a UAV suspiciously resembling the Denel Bateleur, offered by your real not pretend rivals. You'd be amazed how much chutzpah they have, for example unsuccessfully ordering 1 each of every SA system in which they're interested, year after year .

Covert1:
Well you summed it all up. Perimeter defences were non-existent making the base occupants canon folders for enemy fire. Appalling! A clear case of ineptitude going on down there. Testament of poor training. In honor of the KIA I won't use the word Amateurs.

Frumentum:
You read it here first.
SOFREP's account, from their own sources, on the attack on COB Semuliki.
[Sofrep is not the only one, but my mate who took those pics of the base really should be credited when commercial enterprises run them] .

Oblongata:
Why them no just use airforce to fly war planes?

Xbee007:
Ibadan peeps get mind o. They no dey fear ***keyp**

Algerian1:
yes the only tchadian mig 29 that you can find on internet is this one with TT-OAP serial number

reports talk about 2 mig 29 9.13 and 1 mig 29 UB contract with ukraine but no trace of the other two

Algerian1:
.

BruncleZuma:
So how did it get there? I know our MI-Bleep are armed with these munitions on their rocket pods.

BruncleZuma:


@Tdayof any idea why the Fulani will be using French 68mm Type 25 Air-to-Surface rockets on civilian targets?

nemesis4u:
indi... like crashing things too much

IMO heron crashed due to iceing on its control surfaces

anyways by next year we will get to see a chinese clone of heron

lionel4power:
in Nigeria, 'running away' could mean many things such as:

No data
.
No power (electricity)
.
in search of food
.
in search of money
.
etc

Odunayaw:
Their acquisition is written in the budget.

lionel4power:
do you guys know that the CHADIAN AIR FORCE has bombed targets in Nigerian soil without prior government knowledge?

We talk as if this Chadian issue is a future problem..... what is stopping them from actually doing it again?

http://googleweblight.com/i?u=http://www.nigerreporters.com/chad-air-force-jets-bomb-targets-in-nigeria/&grqid=7IdiAguE&hl=en-NG

Odunayaw:
Exactly


on the senators part

lionel4power:
What about YOU and I? don't we deserve proper security and protection?


Anyway let 2019 election hurry up. Am voting those succkers out.

lionel4power:
you have been saying this for a long time now.... but the reality is that when the Chadian air force was hit by a storm only one mig -29 was SLIGHTLY DAMAGED according to media reports.


the fate of the other jets are currently unknown. that doesn't mean that they were destroyed.

bidexiii:
So what's wrong with the Chad's Mig's.

Let's not underrate any attack, 10-15 years ago if they ever tEllis me Nigeria will be fighting one of worlds dangerous and deadliest terrorist, I would deny it.


There are a lot of tension going on with our land borders with Cameroon and Chad. AND NEVER , EVER Under estimate the capabilities of your enemy. And even when they av superior air assets over you.

lionel4power:
soooo many things is wrong with this statement.


it doesn't obey the law of physics at all

bidexiii:
One on one the probability of an F7 shooting down a Mig29 is very, very slim.


4F-7 on one Mig29.......

And what if two, three or more Mig's attacks from different direction, what will the airforce do with limited interceptors . Don't forget we av only six air worthy FN-7 . So u attack for F7 just to bring down a Mig29. That would result to a collateral lost.

The bottom line is that we don't av what it takes to defend our air space.

Adminisher:
I need to know why you guys think it is wise to share this kind of info with foreigners?. Please let us stick to sharing only open source knowledge with non Nigerians. Even for open sourced knowledge there are updates that you use a clear risk matrix within your mind to determine whether to share or not.

lionel4power:
if some [i]technica[/i]l conditions are set right then it should be able to hold ground against superior fighter jets.

bidexiii:
Of course I know it's an interceptor .....

But can it stand a more superior fighter jets(Mig29).

lionel4power:
let's wait until this happens before we 're-arm properly.
HUMOR!!
.
CHADIAN AIR FORCE MiG-29s fighter jets spotted ATTACKING ABUJA.,

That's why they have check In's. They now coms is a weakness.


What cash. DRC is poor and don't care about a few solders and Tanzania is not flush with cash either.



Not all radios can talk to each other. Tanzania are probably using completely difrence radios. Not to mention I doubt they even know the frequency that are needed to talk to them are. I mean I don't I just turn to the needed channel on the specific radio. I mean we sail with multiple different handheld radios for this reason. One to talk to each other, one to talk to the ship and one to talk to air craft.

SupremeCourt:
AVM Chukwu is telling lies tpo himself and to those who dont check facts. I saw the video and ignored it, but with people saying things I will drop a comment.

NAF is the biggest thief in Nigerian military history, as in 2011-2015 Nigeria spent over $ 15 billion on defence alone!!!

Algeria spent $ 8 billion on the fantastic weapons purchases that you see in photos all over the internet, it made Algeria the undisputed most modern military in Africa and the second most powerful after Egypt according to global firepower.

Compare Nigerian military to Algerian military in terms of equipment, then put your tribe, religion and political party aside for 10 minutes, I am sure your God given conscience will tell you that Nigerian military 2011-2015 was the most corrupt in the world.

Why did NAF not replace their Jaguars when oil was $100 a barrel and we gave them around $ 4 billion from defence budget? Instead Air Marshals Badeh, Amosu, Umar etc all purchased billion naira mansions in Abuja and Lagos, then forcing NAF to keep flying 30 year aged Alpha jets.

Where was political will in 2011-2015 ? Today oil is down to $50 a barrel our government is spending over $ 360 million on those 12 new mi-35m hind e helicopters alone, and we ll finally replace Jaguar with jf-17, alpha jet with yak-130, and mig-21 with mig-29 or mig-35. This is the current political will in the era of falling oil price and many hungry people on our streets starving to coma. My friends in Abuja always blame our hunger on current defence budget because it is either we buy enough weapons or we buy enough food in our war with Boko Haram, its a hard choice and we all know. Give us oil at $100 a barrel today and you will see mig-35 land in NAF TAC base Makurdi in NAF colors.

If you want to make Nigeria great again, senate should pass new law of death sentence for corruption like China did to save itself from Chinese corruption and become great.

Now silence your God given conscience and put on your Nigerian tribal, religious and political feelings again, then tell me to go to hell.
