In continuation of air strikes being conducted under Operation ACCORD, the Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI has destroyed an armed bandits’ camp at Kwayanbana Forest in Zamfara State. The feat was achieved yesterday, 7 June 2020, after Human Intelligence (HUMINT) reports and series of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions established that a group of makeshift structures hidden under the dense forest vegetation as well as the caves in the surrounding high grounds serve as hideout for the armed bandits and their notorious kingpin, Dogo Gede.

2. Consequently, the Air Component dispatched a force package of attack aircraft and helicopter gunships to engage the location, leading to the destruction of the makeshift structures as well as the neutralization of several of the armed bandits.

3. The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), commends the Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI for their professionalism and urges them to remain resolute in the conduct of air strikes whilst continuing to provide close air support for ongoing ground operations in order to eradicate all armed bandits; thus accomplishing the directives of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) of restoring normalcy in the North West and North Central Zones of the Country.

Interesting. Any further information on construction?
Those tires are tiny.

The vehicle is made by Kantanka.
Ghana Automobile company.
It was unveiled like in 2018 or so.

Fynline:
Agreed. Did not read your comment properly

No problem sir

Fynline:
In case of emergency landing on water I think

what u are referring to are Floatation systems.
I meant Automatic Grenade Lauchers(AGL) at the Back Door
And FLIR pods for Surveillance

shadowprimezero:
Nigerian Navy AW-109

I've seen like Two of NN Agusta Helicopters fitted with Pods and Back Door Weapons (AGL)

FieldMarshall06:
So what did your friends tell you about the 'future frigates' ?

What did they tell you about Nigerian navy 'fortifications' ?

What did your friends tell you about Uganda's and Ghana's ballistic missiles ?

What did they tell you about NIA's 'intelligence operations' to stem the influx of boko haram?

What did your friends tell you about the specs of recent army procurements?

Who are your friends? Are they officers or recruits? Do you have friends in the National Air Defence Corps, the corps that is least known to Nigerians.

That guy is a monkey.

What are u saying

Eta22seconds:
I pray our troops come out victorious.

I saw this too but no update yet

Scores of armed bandits have been neutralized and their weapons destroyed in air strikes executed by the Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI at 2 separate bandits’ camps, at Tsibiri and Manya, in Zurmi Local Government Area (LGA) in Zamfara State. This was recorded yesterday, 6 June 2020, as part of offensive operations Operation ACCORD to rid the North West and North Central States of armed banditry.
The air interdiction mission at Tsibiri, which is located 15Km East of Zurmi, was executed on the heels of credible Human Intelligence (HUMINT) reports indicating that the camp, with its clusters of thatched huts nestled close to a group of trees, was being used by the bandits to house their fighters and store their weapons and ammunition. Accordingly, 2 Nigerian Air Force attack helicopters were dispatched to engage the location scoring accurate hits on the target area leading to the destruction of the structures and the weapons and ammunition stored in them as well as the neutralization of bandits in the huts and surrounding bushes.
The attack helicopters later conducted an air strike on another camp South of Manya, which also resulted in the killing of more armed bandits, including some of their leaders, as they gathered for a meeting at the location.
The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, commends the Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI for their professionalism and directs them to remain resolute whilst continuing to provide close air support for ongoing ground operations, towards accomplishing the directives of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) to restore normalcy in the North West and North Central Zones of the Country.

Oh boy,,, TRACON that has been completed since about 5 years ago. Na wao, someone still waiting for completion.

And these are military experts

I never knew they've completed it.
I saw it on NAF 10year strategic plan PDF

When did they complete it if I may ask

Patented:
Isn't Tracon civilian, requiring transponders on the aircraft for tracking

TRACON is a joint venture intergrating Civilian Aviation Radar with Nigeria air Force Tin Sheild Radar for
T-total
RA-Radar
C-Coverage
O-Over
N-Nigeria

LTGEN:
Based on the verifiable fact that an unidentifiable plane once flew over Nigeria and was forced to Land and it caused great embarrassment to the French ,
Nigeria does have a Radar Air Defence System .
This incident happened in the last days of the GEJ administration.
Since then there is physical proof that the NAF has bought some infrastructure regarding Air Radar Infrastructure System .
It is reasonable to expect there is some System is in place.

Just Waiting for the TRACON project to be completed even if Completed.
We'll still need Interceptors or SAMs

Tobiloba2407:
Kdf version , of Nigerian joint maritime , only difference Nigerian version had the army involved....just so you know....army guys were dropping out, and they are a step lower than sbs... only people that seem to have really tried on navy selection for special units are the ghanaians that came for sbs. Just so you know, the army has a big dislike for navy sbs, because they make the army seem inefficient.

they dropped out because training is f**King complex
Imagine 300 people willingly enlisted for the train not up to 70 completed the training.
How many Ghanaians do u think completed SBS training.

Those guys are Mad

vincentjk:
This is the reason I've been kinda silent because my followers would never understand no matter how I explain it. I was forced to do what I had to do because neighbours were already making fun of my dog which wasn't easy for me. some pictures won't be really cool to be here so I guess I'd send them to your Instagram DM rather than displaying it in a public forum like this

pls I'll really like to see the pics too

In a combined ground and air offensive on 5 June 2020, troops of Operation THUNDER STRIKE under Operation ACCORD in conjunction with troops of 312 Artillery Regiment and Local Vigilantes conducted a clearance patrol to Kachia Forest and neutralized some armed bandits/cattle rustlers. This followed a timely and credible information on the bandits movement within the area. Troops pursued the bandits through Gidan Maikeri village in Chikun LGA into the forest. Their location was identified and consequently engaged by Nigerian Air Force helicopter gunships. After the air interdiction, seventy (70) bandits were confirmed killed by human intelligence while others escaped with injuries. The troops are exploitating the forest. Details to follow as they unfold.
As a matter of security concern, people in this general area should report those with sudden and suspicious injuries to the security forces. This is to ensure that the escapees are mopped up.
Relatedly, troops of Operation YAKI in blocking positions for Operation ACCORD at outskirts of Kankomi village apprehended 2 bandits’ logistics suppliers. Items recovered include: recharge cards, cigarettes, soft drinks and groceries.
The Military High Command congratulates Operation THUNDER STRIKE, Operation YAKI and Air Component of Operation ACCORD, for their dexterity. While the general public is requested to continue to provide timely and credible information that would assist in eliminating bandits and other criminal elements in the Country.

You sound exactly like what he is describing. Insecure, jealous and hateful. Read his engagements and compare it to what we have here. Je just gave put N100,000 in give away to appreciate his followers. He is far more knowledgeable than you. His tweets are engaging. Stop acting like a jealous child and be mature for once. He is doing a thousand times better. Grow up please.

How can u post a false pics of an American soilder Parachuting and u tell 21k people it's Buratai, Or upload a picture of A patrol Boat that belongs to a private security agency from around 2016 and post it 2020 claiming it's SDB3.
Misleading people is the right thing Abi?

intrepidJ:
Say what you want he is right in a way. I saw nothing to warrant this back and forth argument. He has the largest twitter following in Nigeria for a military blog. He came here looking for answers which i find admirable and you all turn it into a turkey fight. How can we grow if we keep fighting over trivials. We need to stop chasing people away with our attitude sometimes IMHO.

you're not getting the point.
We are trying to tell him to stop Posting things that aren't yet clarified or rather fake things on his Handle.
Even Brenda Uji the popular war Journalist has warned him

SSBNG:
These latest posts shows you have having conflicting emotions. You are typing to your self and no one is answering. Kick your silly pride away and think about what i said. You will go no where in life with this negative hateful attitude. Be a man for once and accept the truth. You will forever be limited in hate. You are free to take my advice or continue in your spiteful nature. The choice is yours. Thankfully i will never have to deal with the likes of you ever again. Out.

Even Brenda Uji has told u on Twitter some of ur posts are lies.

SSBNG:
Yes....You my friend will die a negative frustrated human being. That question was not even addressed to you. All you do is come on nairaland to attack people. Thats why i stopped coming here. I needed answers on something and i came here thinking some sanity has been brought here..but no..its still rife with negative embittered people like you. You will die in your negativity. Better think of changing your dark mindset..you will get no where.

guy u Know ur problem .
U Don't clarify before u post it's anything u see u post I've been seeing ur post on Twitter 50% is not clarified

. In continuation of the aggressive clearance operations across the North East, on 3 June 2020, troops of Army Super Camp 6 Konduga, Borno State in conjunction with Borno State Civilian Joint Task Force, conducted a deliberate ambush operation against BH/ISWAP Terrorists at Lawanti River line and neutralized 6 of them, while others escaped with gunshot wounds.

2. Furthermore, resulting from sustained artillery bombardments and ground assaults against BH/ISWAP Terrorists hideouts, more are surrendering to troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE. On 2 June 2020, 3 of them namely: Mohammed Babagana, Modu Jugudun and Alhaji Usman surrendered to troops of Delta Company at Strong Response Area Pulka in Gwoza LGA of Borno State. The trio confessed to having escaped from their Boko Haram Camp in Dabulari Village, Bama LGA of Borno State after a heavy artillery bombardment of the Camp by troops that led to the death of many of their erstwhile colleagues. During interrogation, they confessed regretting their actions and called on their former colleagues to give up the struggle and save themselves from unprofitable death.

3. Relatedly, on 2 June 2020, the combined troops of 19 Brigade and 401 Special Forces Brigade conducted a robust clearance operation at Doron Naira and Magaji. In Doran Naira, troops recovered one 120mm Mortar base plate, one religious book, metal links for-Aircraft ammunition and a roll of copper wire abandoned by the Boko Haram criminals before the arrival of the own troops. Also, at Daban Magaji, troops had an encounter with some Boko Haram Terrorists hibernating in the area. The valiant troops, through superior fire neutralized 9 of them. Additionally, the troops destroyed one Boko Haram Gun Truck as well as captured one Anti-Aircraft Gun, 2 AK 47 Rifles, and a large cache of Anti-Aircraft ammunition. However, one officer paid the supreme price while one soldier was wounded in action. The soldier wounded in action is currently receiving treatment in our military medical facility.

4. Similarly, on 1 June 2020, troops of 144 Battalion deployed in Madagali, Adamawa State briskly cleared BHT Staging Area and Crossing Points at Lemu, Gajinji and Tsakiraku. During the encounter at Gajinji, troops neutralized one terrorist and arrested 2 adult females namely: Aishatu Manye and Kelune Mate identified to be the local BHT commander’s wives.

5. In the North West Region, on 3 June 2020, troops of Operation WHIRL PUNCH acting on credible information raided a bandits’ Camp at Kurmin Dande in Chikun LGA of Kaduna State. During the operation, troops made contact and neutralized 2 of the bandits while others escaped with gunshot wounds. The troops recovered 2 Dane guns, 2 motorcycles, one locally fabricated short gun, 4 cutlasses, 3 cell phones, 2 small solar panels and some clothing items before destroying their camp.

6. Consequently, the Chief of Army Staff, congratulates the gallant troops for their resilience, courage and dedication to the noble cause of defending our fatherland. The High Command of the Armed Forces of Nigeria also encourages the troops to continue to be steadfast and focused as they sustain the onslaught against the enemies of our nation.
