I think the way some of our high ranking officers and even their wives are treating the lower ranks is very bad, just look at how the navy personnel was complaining , I've seen soldiers almost becoming house boy's to their superiors, I knew some when I was a little boy growing up, they were doing the cooking, laundry, washing of cars and driving ogas children to school.

Funny thing, I know officers that have had issues with their wives, regarding the way they treat ratings working under them, most officers wives, usually want to turn the ratings to house boys , some officers turn blind eyes to it, some would rebel against their wives.

I know a rating that approached an officer, to report an issue of the wife gossiping against him, and reporting him to the madam, and in front 9f the rating called the wife out, asked the rating to repeat what he said, the woman couldn't deny it, and slapped his wife in front of the rating, the rating said he just quickly discharged himself.

Bokoharam/ISWAP attacking close to the Airforce base area Ngomari here in Maiduguri right now.

I just hope it's not a big attack with the intent to hit the Airforce base.

My Dear friends at Ngomari stay safe e get reason why I park out of Maiduguri outskirts.

Stay Safe

Seems its 333 artillery barracks been attacked

SamuelAnyawu:

SamuelAnyawu:
Yes I'm Silly and you are above me Master

When are we rolling out the war to the households of ISWAP. I need to see lots of ISWAP heads I wanna drink alcohol with ISWAP skulls man

Hope you know, if you offer to go to battle with those soldiers they would allow you, you just need to prove to them you are capable and wont get in their way, then you can get your drinking skull.

I know what am saying not “hoping”
That’s a GPMG/MG for God sake then what do you want to say about gunners mounting AAG/.50 cal?
If you’ve operated an M2 .50cal or Russian NSV/Kord before you wouldn’t be mentioning PKM/GPMG ?

Me that pistol was fired close to my ear, for 2 days I was saying, ehn! ehn!! When someone talks to me....you talking about 7.62 round, my friend you have never shot a gun before.

bidexiii:
When the hell breaks loose you don’t care about your ears, the will of surviving sets in !

I hope you know without your ears, you don't have balance and coordination?

Seems you dont know , one of the principles that makes stun grenade effective is the loud noise, that makes you loose coordination

there is smugglers problems on algerian moroccan borders , hudge quantity of moroccan cannabis enter algeria and hudge quantity of algerian fuel , subsidized food product and medicine is smuggled to Morocco.

So Algeria built on borders until now , 700 km trench ( 8 meters width and 11 meters depth) + 100 km wall , morocco built 140 km fencing borders . and there result on smuggling are very positif

What happens to this wall, when it is blasted by a big IED? The bht wont pass after abi?

The best thing is armed drones and sensors that can pick up breaches.....each time there is a breach send a armed drone to greet them, and a armed attack helicopter .....with backup helicopter mobile troops with long range stabilized weapons

SamuelAnyawu:
Buratai is doing a wonderful job and deserves all kudos and acknowledgements.

Thank You

It's like the army chief is running election campaign....the baba should chill and face his job.

SamuelAnyawu:
ISWAP/BH engaging in a fierce fight right now at Ngala.

May God bless our Gallant men

Seems this is the real deal attack , coming at midnight, and not a probe.

Odunayaw:
I see your point

Let me know if I'm not making sense ooo

Odunayaw:
NIRTAL. The one you just mentioned is Israeli- based on Tweeter whispers

Yes you are right, NIRTAL, I'm just confused which pmc doesn't have a website or portfolio?
If our generals can start building contraptions to save money and be happy, what stops them from doing their own local pmc, and hiring a few white faces as their own SF training contraption?

Toju200:
The First Israel PMC you're referring to is Four Troops Hired By NAF to train Regiments and SF.
Starter Point is another...
I'll try get more info on them

The Nigerian army has had Israeli pmc contractors train them , in the past....I can't really remember their name, this was before four troops trained that air force....it's just strange a pmc with no history or website is training our army.. . Makes it seem our generals serving or retired have started pmc business.

Toju200:
its a Israeli Private security company

You know this how? They don't even have a website......and this isn't the Israeli pmc that has operated before

Please who knows anything about this starter point integrated services, I don't seem to see anything about them on the internet, or have the generals formed a private company to commercialize special forces training?

persius555:
Spot On. This enemy is very fluid and very underrated but equally potent, especially with their PR arm.

Those pictures, I believe were leaked to spite the military heirarchy for seemingly underreporting the casualty figures.

I swear it's like they just want to control the boko haram, not finish it, what stops a larger tempo and size of operation than that was done during the end days of Jonathan tenure?

persius555:
I'm 79% sure that ISWAP had full knowledge of troops movement. 26 soldiers in one fell swoop would probably require a hundred fully armed ragtag terrorists.

ISWAP would be foolish to commit so much men without full knowledge of what they might be up against. Again, knowing fully well that the NAF ISR platforms could easily spot hundreds of its (ISWAP) men in pickup trucks.

DMI should look into possible alien satellite frequencies being used to monitor troops movement within that region.
With the amount of low cost satellites hovering the space these days, nothing is impossible.

All that is needed is a major 2 or 3 weeks MAJOR sustained assault, with a objective of 5k bht Kia, full combined arms operation......sss, police, nscdc and others brought in, to do rear guard support....throw half of everything nigeria has into that front and go hunting.
We are at a stalemate, that will continue to drain us.....how long is it taking us to train the crew of the new equipment, I for one think our air force bombing is a waste of resource, I favour artillery to air force bombing....air force bombing should be used in coordination and in realtime with land troops assualt, we should invest In shells that can go 30 to 40km.....
If you askim me, i will bht are winning, because against all odds stacked against them, they are getting results every week.

Or are the higher powers scared of coup plot, PMB especially, that they decide to keep the army preoccupied to feel secure?

SamuelAnyawu:
We have lost over 50 Soldiers at Damboa-Maiduguri road in two weeks.

A Giant of Africa will sit down and wait for terrorists to attack our base and we Repel.

Chadians lost it soldiers and Derby swore to push them out of Chadians borders and called them Martyrs. Summoned all his Generals for Operation Boma wrath.

Here we lose soldiers in numbers and we feel less concerned.

I repeat from January 2020 till date, if we compare the number of Soldiers killed and number of Bokoharam killed Nigerians will be in deep shock.

Make we continue to dey celebrate Incompetence.

Person go dey Ojota, Owerri and Portharcourt dey cap say you dey lie about Northeast.

Just visit the Northeast and ask anyone about the ongoing war and wait for a reply.

Nonsense

The annoying thing is that we can calm this nonsense boko haram, or beat the fear of God into them in 3 weeks, but seems somethings just wants them to still have a bit of influence in the scheme of things in Nigeria.

Xbee007:
I know but this is not the trainer version. This is designed mainly for ISR. It features a totally different seat configuration.

The version we use is the diamond da42 twinstar, and it's used for training and isr, but as other platforms have been bought, it's used for isr....the airborne sensor on it , doesn't mean its limited to that.

Xbee007:
Found it myself.
It is Diamond Aircraft DA-62 MPP

Aircraft we have had since before the atr 42, it's used as a trainee aircraft and isr platform....I think it was bought during the Niger delta crisis, Ghana too acquired some after we did

I recommend this movie... Outpost.. to military movie lovers..

It's about USA base in Afghanistan..

Yall gonna love it

What's the link to watch it, is it on Netflix?

Odunayaw:
The normal ISR pod it had always carried

Synthetic aperture radar....for ground mapping and other isr gadgets.

komekn:
There are two companies Elbit Systems in Isreal and another one on South Africa.

The SU 25 us you know is stupendously rugged it can fly on petrol there. Can take off from poor runways and can take hits from 30 mm and survive.

With these things it all depends on how far you want to go. but an upgrade to enable precision weaponry capability and better avionics will cost less than a $1 million.

Ita far far cheaper if we buy the components ourselves and get our Engineers to do it. I went to believe we the capacity.

Belarus had a lot of them in storage looking for buyers. They are a lot across the Eastern block gathering dust. Per unit $2 million just depends on how much bribe you can give. These countries are quite corrupt too.

This same way, people were clamoring for t72, lots of them in storage we can easily get it, till we both the t72s and bmp1s....that started breaking down, if we can buy any equipment new, then no need

Stormtrooper11:
Pls can u give me link to the paper you read on the case study

No link, because I read the actual paper.

komekn:
Agreed without question ❓ ❓ ❓

What l am baffled about is how then did our NA guys completely BOTTLE IT at Monguno. And leave a Vickers MBT amongst other armoured vehicles to be destroyed by BOKO.

I really am bewildered.

U get tank and u deh run from Boko gun truck d ting no make sense.

Eéeeeeee be like group of persons get cutlass and l get AK and l begin run with fear.

I said it earlier....lack of confidence in their ability and equipment....then lack of situational awareness

Thank versus technical....a modern tank with modern fire control would destroy 5 to 6 technicals in 60 seconds, trust me if the bht loose that many vehicles in so short a time they will turn around or halt their advance....a mbt is even more effective at destroying technicals than atgms..... tank guns are even more effective than atgms....because tanks guns are faster and more accurate. .....if a atgms crew and a tank sight each other, the tank would win, the problem with our tanks in the north east is lack of situational awareness, and the crews are gotten by surprise and run away, also lack of practical training, actually shooting moving targets either actual shooting range or realistic software, so even the tank crew don't have confidence in their ability, if they can't hit technicals how do they hit tanks, against popular belief, tanks are very very fast, compared to wheeled vehicles off road.

You don't even need sabot rounds, any kind of round with high explosive warhead would do the job

NA BTR-4E

How does the army buy a weapon with a 30mm weapon platform and refuse to buy 30mm rounds, and expect the army to give them from their stock

seankafor:
although I wasn't around in 1985 but whatever arsenal they must have fielded has become obsolete in today's war compared to the calibre of armour we have in our inventory now.

Am not sure drones and reconnaissance aircrafts were in existence then

We had recon aircraft fokker 28 mpa, customs too had recon aircraft, though we didnt have drones, even our mig 21s, had the capability to recon, using video cameras recorders, a capability I know our j7 has also....most of the equipments in our arsenal that we using to fight bht are still from the 80s and early 90s.

Truth is that the Nigerian military of 1985 would beat the Nigerian military if today hands down, the only thing that might give a bit of resistance, is in the quality of our infantry training.....though without better infantry weapons if the 1980s.

FieldMarshall06:
Go and read the book: The Evolution of War by Maurice Davie. There you will find your answer.

The military never depreciated, war only evolved and all armed forces struggled to evolve. The UK military struggled with the Irish Republican Army IRA for many years, the US and NATO have struggled in the arab world, etc....

That is the situation, not that militaries depreciate. Wars evolve and large armies based on doctrines don't evolve easily until they take some beatings.

evolved that altimeter fuse that we used in the 80s and 90s....is now discarded in use of before world war 2 contact fuse? War evolves that it becomes a war of attrition for an organized military.... the bht, are no different from the liberian and Sierra leone wars, just that too many people in the right offices are becoming billionaires from it, trust me, if there was oil in the north east, all these issues would have stopped.
