about to deploy.
na only God go help us with this our mismatched cammo wahala.

MikeCZA:
Opinion: Should images like this be shared?

Is this the image your military wants "people" to have in their minds when they remember their hero? Body bag!

the army has become more open in this campaign and this pic being circulated has even made Nigerians understand the sacrifice the military and country is making.

everyone is talking about it and in solidarity with the military.

it's a propaganda W for the army cos BH bragging about this won't mean anything.

NE deployment

Henry240:
Let me drop this comment and clear this up. I fully participated in the criticism of SANDF exercises and still do. Our problem was the over-emphasis of that SANDF style training, not that the training is bad.

Our argument was, when we look at the conflicts in the region, North, West, East and South (Apart from DRC and Mozambique), the fightings were mainly in built up areas, and the sort of training offered at AMANI AFRICA II should reflect this.

It is only now that the enemy(s) has been pushed out of the towns and villages can those AMANI type training be deployed. The times BHT attacked Maiduguri, you don't expect the Nigerian military to respond with Cold War type tactics, now do you?

If I'm correct, AMANI was meant for going after the enemy in it's hiding place(obviously not in urban areas) just like the FIB intervention in DRC.

pic 1: NA exams
pic2: DSS trooper

what's that rifle he's holding

foolish people. burukutu and other drugs wwey dem dey high no worse pass beer?

or is it the kidnapping of underaged girls aand marrying them off wiithout their parent's consent that is better?

awon backward werey

i noticed every week brings fresh drama in this thread and this one is just funny.

@patches was right to compare this thread to the korean DMZ. one misinterpretation and it's BOOM!!.

empty heads

rubbish.

i'm not saying he didn't steal, (even buhari's government is not innocent either).

my problem with all these figures being announced is till date there's no proof of such amount missing.

in court you hear millions but on media you hear billions.

and if indeed he stole that much why is buhari afraid of a fair trial?

the way these politicians keep playing with their olodo followers is funny sha.

arrests without conviction is a total waste of tax payers money and before buhari's zombies attack me let them answer these questions:

are amaechi, buratai, daambazou, tinubu and co not currupt?

why must curruption be defined as only opposition's loot?

yet buhari wan send him fellow incompetent aand unqualified olodos to run these missions abroad

if dem like make dem go mars for meeting. Northerner na northerner.

the idea of educating and bringing development to the impoverished and illiterate people is of no importance to them.

all they know is to have power.

it's obama's romance with these religious extremists that concerns me.

ssaengine:
There's something about the Task Force cammo which gives me a stiffy.

I prefer it to the SANDF cammo. My opinion though

ssaengine:
If you want to harp on about professionality only being skill/training, then i will also harp on. Even if the policeman in the pic below is the best shot in his unit, would you still regard him as being professional in his duty? I never mentioned skill/training.....those in the know are well aware of each country's abilities.

Professional in the sense that even with Insta, Facebook etc etc they dont post s.exy pics. Operational security is still 1st & foremost, and this modern age tendency of being rambo has not filtered in yet. Your job 1st, before Instagram likes.

They don't cos it's a SANDF policy. Nigerian soldiers dare not do what they're doing back when we had strict secrecy policy.

I remember when SiriusBlack first started posting pics online at the time the army had a strict secrecy policy till dhq got wind of it and warned it to stop. It stopped till it was relaxed again for reasons best known to DHQ.

The navy had never tried to conceal the sbs (one of the best units in the country) from the public. even beegs has had the privilege of visiting them took group photos for his blog. If hq didn't want it that way they wouldn't have permitted it.

In US only CIA assault groups are kept secret. The other spec ops are all over the place.

In Nigeria it's the same. You'll hardly see DSS storm troopers. These are the guys that helped the army chase out boko haram from maiduguri. They conducted countless raids on bh targets with sbs (only very few sbs operators where deployed at that time).

The NIA also has it's special units you'll rarely see online. As well as there are what we call crack units in all of these special units.

Australia has one of the best sf yet you'll get photos with the faces and profile of some of their bravest currently in service online. Something SANDF won't tolerate

We operate in different environments and have different policies.

Respect that and stop making comments out of ignorance.


@henry, please pardon me for posting the link

patches689:
Old photos dont need to be edited because no need for OPSEC you fvcking retard.

If you want to say "they have been around forever" then you can go ahead and prove it.

Pic 1: Who are they?
Pic 2: Secret Service Counter Assault
Pic 3: Polish Police
Pic 4: Some random guy took a picture of some operators while they werent looking. if anything, that disproves your point.

I said "No real unblurred pics of currently DEVGRU, DELTA, S.T 6, CIA"
Now you are just posting random pictures of guys who look cool?

You. Are. Wasting. My. Time.

And where are they currently deployed? Which war?

I just showed you how quick pics would be on net if the US makes any major deployment.

I don't need to waste my time trying to prove anything to a shameless Prevaricator.

Oh look... Less than 3 days of US spec ops(marine raiders) involvement in mosul and we already have their faces on the net. In 5 years time this fool will give me that OPSEC b.s

Think before you comment fool. . .

Now let's move on

Ok. We get it.

South African sf are the best in the world. Even better than US green beret, navy seal, delta force combined (since those guys have pics with their faces all over the net).

Let's post on topic.

patches689:
Those pictures are of Aaron Vaughn.

Killed in 2011.

You know... the GUY THEY MADE A FVCKING MOVIE ABOUT

Posting a picture from 5 years ago and saying "look its not blurred!" is beyond re.tarded.

Ok. So it's only convenient for you to pick old photos with blurred faces but not convenient for someone else cos it opposes your views?

The last major US combat operation was more than 5 years ago so majority of spec ops pics you'll see are old. And these pics were already all over the net before now.

Only a small deployment in Syria and it's all over the net in less than a week.

Plus... This is recent.

You are just confused bro

patches689:
No one said it was unprofessional, as usual, you guys are over-reacting because of various insecurity complexes and now we are measuring dicks.

Read your comrade's comment and honestly ask yourself(even though you are a pathological liar) if he wasn't throwing shades.

You guys pick aa fight and back out claiming Nigerians are insecure.

Perhaps saffers need to learn to use their words wisely and stop being corny

patches689:
So, you believe those pictures to be what he entitled them as? Despite the fact that I reverse image searched them?

This is beyond childish.

Until you guys come up with something better, Im done

Here, enjoy actual pictures of actual tip of the spear operators, including legitimate CIA-SAD

be kind to yourself by also posting ones with clear faces. not all spec ops pic are blurred.

we not saying SANDF should follow suit, you boys should just shut up with that "it's unprofessional" B.S

run an image search on this delta force too

Patchesagain:
(He thinks OPSEC Lasts Forever)

Ps:
Your Pic 1 is Michigan National Guard, Recon Company, 425th Infantry (look at the patch on the guy with the mask)*
Your Pic 2 is Green Berets not DEVGRU (What is reverse-image search?)
Your Pic 3 is CIA-GRS not CIA-SAD (What is reverse-image search?)
Your Pic 4 is a retired operator (What is reverse-image search?)

*Not 100% on this

stop it patch. just stop. you're becoming irritating with this nonsense

pic 1 is definitely devgru

i was gonna add some other devgru pic and confused it with pic 2

different people and forums have named the 3rd pic SAD and GRS. point is CIA units from devgru to grs are more secretive and by far better and more experienced than SA special forces. does their pic without being blurred all over the internet make them unprofessional

last pic has been on the net for long before than operator retired

and run another image search on this one

delta force operator whose pic has been on the net for long.

i'm not going to go this lane with you because it's obvious you and your kins are obviously just comfortable being id1ots

patches689:
I have never seen pics of Devgru, Delta or SAD

Green Berets, SEALs and MARSOC are not *that* elite by US operator standards.

This is why no one should take you seriously. You love to wallow in your ignorance and that it's so cool for you.

Pic 1 and 2 is devgru gold squadron
3&4 CIA SAD & Delta force

ssaengine:
What impresses me about South African special forces is that their pics/faces/weapons are not splashed around on the net. Sign of professional soldiers & of a system that understands the basic need for secrecy. This is not to take away from others who post pics....i guess the operational cultures are different.

Bro. No one gives a sh1t if SA forces even wears masquerade mask to hide their faces. It's definitely not a yardstick to measure professionalism. There are pics of devgru, navy seal, delta force etc... All over the internet.

You guys are just so ignorant.

First pic is navy seal
Second is devgru and third is navy seal being sooo "unprofessional" by south African standard. Last pic is French SAS in Mali.

Take a beer bro and chill. The world has evolved and saffers need to was well.

There are a lot more pics on instagram if you follow these guys

africaken254:
US special ops are taking selfies with dead ISIS,but i dont want to post those photos and get in trouble

These saffers are just some ignorant children.

That SA isn't doing it doesn't concern anyone. And hiding or blurring your special forces definitely is no proof of professionalism.

I don't want to say so much.


1st pic... Russsian spec ops in syria
Pic 2... Australian special forces operator

Before the arrival of the AFSF from the north east Europe, the SBSC and 72 MSF where the major SF's kicking BHT ass and with there arrival they are still working hand in hand.

But these days, it looks like the SBSC has being withdraw from the theatre, am not sure am just assuming, av not being seeing much of them.

don't forget the sbs is also part of AFSF.

unlike thee sbs that was inttegrated to it, the MSF is still independent.

now their role in this war after the creation of the AFSF is what i'm inquiring

bidexiii:
#72-MSF

does anyone have an idea how these guys complement the AFSF? i assume they play different roles.

so i saw a thread on front page today of "how change began with a guy that returned a phone in abuja", with subsequent posts on some "fictitious" good deeds are as a result of the launch and success of the program. if you missed the thread. read it here: https://www.nairaland.com/3357144/guy-picked-infinix-zero-phone

First of all, i want to correct one notion here. Nigeria just like every other country in the world(including the most advanced society) has both HONEST and DISHONEST people. act of good deeds is not alien to this country as these agents are beginning to sound it and my fear is that this kind of rhetoric will further sell the image of a country full of criminals before this administration came to office.

before Nigerians begin to fall for this new media propaganda scam i want to remind us of some great deal of honesty Nigerians have always exhibited before this scam of a campaign started.

we still remember the airport cleaner who despite wallowing in poverty returned #12m and never complained of being under appreciated
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/03/at-last-shower-of-blessings-on-airport-cleaner-who-returned-lost-n12-million/

or the UBA security guard who returned $10,000 he found back to it's owner
http://punchng.com/people-mocked-returning-10000-security-guard/

and these are just publicised ones. a lot have gone unreported. even ones i did personally.

what i'm driving at is that Nigeria has always had honest people and buhari and his handlers should stop selling a narrative of a criminal and morally dysfunctional society.

APC promised us change only to renege on their promise by telling us to change before the government can change. i'm really ashamed that a country with the highest number of graduates and phd holders in Africa will fall for this scam. Same way they fell for voting an illiterate to govern a complex country like Nigeria.

a family man with 2 kids was laid off due to the bad state of the economy with the company not seeing any policy direction for things to change. how does change begins with this man if the government has failed him?
how do you expect me to change when you have failed to effect the change you promised me that will change my life to make a better society? i marvel at the level of gullibility of some people.

Nigerians please beware of these agents and use your heads. the government would not be campaigning if it was getting it right. their achievements will do that for them.

i am a Nigerian and i love my country.
#changebeginswithbuhari #changebeginswithNAS #changebeginswithgovernors #changebeginswiththegovernment.

lalasticlala, i pray you do justice to this

These his good news.

What I love about these MRAP, his the auto canon.

you know the NA is too cheap for an auto cannon on an mrap na.

great news though. our local defence companies need government patronage if they are to survive

africaken254:

MikeCZA:
Keeping a low profile.

you guys must find excuse sha.

how do you keep a low profile in a tense battlespace with the whole world knowing you are there already?

syria is a different ball game from iraq and afghanistan.

from the clips i've seen on the syrian war, everyone is packing light cos mobility is very important. even the russians

saw a clip of russian marines and SAA under attack during live interview with the russian defence ministry and i notice there were no heavy vehicles in the background.

just commandos with guns and pickup trucks

.

just saw a clip of south african task force stop a bank robbery. those robbers didn't even see it coming..

and it was very professionally executed. since i can't post videos i'll recommend you follow @specialforces_archive on instagram to view it. and also follow @war.footage for some recent battlefield clips from the middle east and around the world

bwahahahahahahahaha.... dem don come again o..

when will we are comments like:
we are
we have
we already?

and who will occupy the houses? is it the people you have turned jobless in less than your one year of misfortune?

silly government
