EricBraven:
What if he is innocent after all

He is not innocent, FBI will never make any accusation without concrete evidence to back it up. He collected bribe from Hushpuppi, that is a fact.

Some people derive joy from calamitous news. I am not mentioning names but you know who.

editing tag is it safe?
Thought there were noise about how editing gig tags deranks your gig.
Kinda confused...

This is my first time of hearing this. The only issue I know with editing tags is that your gig can get inactive until you speak to Customer Support before it can be resolved. Some people may not even know their gig is inactive until they check directly on the Customer Support page.

It is surely a man behind that account. They are mainly for catfishing. It is only foolish people that will listen and follow the account.

The Ikorodu-itokin-ijebu ode expressway have totally been abandoned... Why? The road is terrible and filled with Fulani heardsmen kidnapping people.

If you wan pass itokin go ijebu ode, you will have to pass through Epe.

I'm sure this kin thing dey happen for USA too

Anybody wey fill say I dey lie, make dem go pass the road and give us update

Fulani herdsmen don't want to read cow again. Kidnapping is their new line of business.

RiceProducers:
MI35M is slow, heavy, lumbering and cannot fight, return, fight again a d be ready the next day again to fight.

Only the US has done the reliability engineering work that guarantees that level of availability of helicopters . They learnt it the hard way in Vietnam.

Look at the profile of the AH1. Very thin profile and difficult to shoot down. The cockpit is just as armoured as MI 35M.

Is the production line still open?

RiceProducers:
I beg your pardon. The AH1 is still in service. The reliability is 4x that of MI 35M.
I still wonder why people don't get updated about things. The version Nigeria is planing to buy would be a able to fire APKWS enabled rockets and ATGMs.

How could anyone say AH1s are old?. Of course they were active during the Vietnam War. Of course there are modern versions flying in Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco et. C.
The most serially modernized and upgraded combat helicopters in history. AH64 Apache is a slight departure from AH1 not the modern version of AH1.

As for Congress blocking it, Nigeria is actually just playing a game. The Plan B would be MI28N (which I don't like) or more of the MI35M
When the Americans come with sanctions, Nigeria wants to be able to use lobbyists to make the point "we came to you first" and you said NO.
The US may also be concerned (their capacity for silliness is high) about a future Nigerian civil War with their weapons falling in the hands of one side and the negative publicity.

Is it still in production?

MI-35M can also fire guided missile. Fvck that overpriced copter.

Whyem15:
With their fvcking maintenance culture, the useless organization want to get 12 old helicopters for $800 million?

What will the 12 change that hundreds of IFVs and MRAPs won't do and more.

It is a foolish buy, definitely. That helicopter started production at the early stage of Vietnam war.

gboye1999:
It appears this was in the works?
Cobra dem. same old deal?

https://punchng.com/us-lawmakers-stop-875m-defence-equipment-sale-to-nigeria/

I actually watched a documentary on the Cobra this morning. What are the odds? Lol

bidexiii:
Just watched the video today and I felt like dropping a UAV munition on them.

Some of us cant access Twitter. Can you guys summarise the video for us?

EricBraven:
How in hell did they get that tavor

They have killed so many security personnels. They stole it from dead personnels.

That black Land Cruiser belongs to government and it appears in pristine condition. How did they get that? Were they given by a sympathiser within the government?

The Nigerian Army HQNigerianArmy on Monday engaged some assailants terrorising Enugu State, killed them and recovered several weapons and ammunition in the process.
Can you see how hidden they camps and vehicles are ?

Dubailandlord, I told you it has been ending in premium tears for Ungun Known Men but you didn't believe me.

See evidence for yourself.

willybaby:
I concur, I wonder y the army sometimes shoots itself in the foot esp when they've given Boko a beating, every single man and woman is important wether an officer or not, organise even if it's a weekly convoy to move personnel in and out, helicopter, jet, road any which works, seeing our brothers been displayed like trophy's is a No No No

What those terrorists will do to those captured guys, you don't even want to imagine it.

SamuelAnyawu:
Airlifting might be expensive. A full military escort daily so staff on pass can join them.

Too many ISWAP checkpoints on that road. Some of the drivers will happily point you out

They can dedicate one military helo like MI-171 to do the task daily. It cannot be too difficult or too expensive. They are just wasting people lives unnecessarily.

SamuelAnyawu:
Kai that Maiduguri Damaturu road isn’t cool especially for Soldiers. I think Soldiers on pass should look for a way to join a military convoy on that road.

Officers Dey join me do Azman and the rest….

I have never seen Damaturu with my eyes. I’ll rather stay six months here and save money for Flight. Well nowhere is 100% safe.

Airforce too should be assisting in such scenarios too by lifting Personnel to Abuja. No be say I go Dey see fine University of Maiduguri babes Dey snap inside Airforce planes enroute Abuja

What will it cost the Nigerian Army to airlift their personnel? Is this totally avoidable loss of life worth it?

I hate travelling on Nigerian roads more than anything.

Yes, absolutely it is. But it won't be for you if you rely solely on what you're being taught in school. You need to go outside the scope of the school syllabus and develop yourself.

Learn things that are practical and useful in real life. Don't just be a bookworm. I have seen Computer Science students that can't even operate Ms Word. They are the true definition of hopeless.

DubaiLandLord1:
What are you trying to say?

Why are you always hunting for bad news though? I'm genuinely curious, it can't be good for anyone's mental health.

DubaiLandLord1:

False prophet is a joker.

Akalia:
Bro don't sweat yourself please. Channel your precious time and energy to another undertaking.

Don't be so pessimistic. The people that will get the jobs are human too.

Guys any comfirmed info yet on the deliveries from Yola ?

Top secret!

BHT trying to burn a NA Vickers Eagle MBT that was actually not functioning. Image is from BHT propaganda video.

Is this recent?

bidexiii:
A recentISWAP propaganda video from the terror group shows the use of captured trucks and weapon systems from national forces in the region. The video was shared on Saturday, July 24, 2021.

1st picture is a pickup truck-mounted with a 12-tube multiple rocket launcher system 63 -107mm (MLRS), likely looted from the neighbouring Niger Republic.

2nd picture is a pickup truck in what appeared to be Nigerien military camouflage mounted with the type 63 107mm MLRS.

3rd picture is a Type 63 MLRS captured during an attack in Toumour, Jan 2018, image shared on Twitter via MENASTREAM.

Picture credit: @CalibreObscura

The drone will take care of their nonsense.

2 Antonov An-124 (UR-82009, UR-82027), from Chengdu in China landed in Yola 24hrs apart.
Pro tip CAIG is based in Chengdu this is not confirmed yet. The fact that it might be the FN-7 should not be ruled out.

It is definitely the Wing Loong II and its support equipment.

Just copy and paste the seemingly broken link.

iblawi:
Super tucanos are based in Niger state which shares border with Benin Republic and Yola is in extreme east and it shares border with Cameroon. Yola has a drone base I guess.

The drone hypothesis makes a lot of sense.
Good news everywhere.

willybaby:
thanks for the correction.. but is it Ukrainian or they inherited it from the USSR cause 4 me I don't see the yeye Ukraine of today producing anything good..

Don't underestimate Ukraine. They are also heavy contender in the world defence industry.

kabe1:
Apparently it flew in from China. So there's speculation that it's carrying our UCAVs.

Which is a plausible explanation for Yola.

UCAVs have always been based there.

Wow!

willybaby:
I don't think the Americans would transport high tech munitions using a Russian built jet..

The Americans use Antonov 225 for transport as well. It is actually an Ukrainian aircraft.

bidexiii:
Probably the drones or equipment for the Army .

Or Super Tucano support equipment.

kabe1:
To Yola, I don't think so.

It has to be something really significant.
