Nigerian Army is trying no doubt. But they are always on the defense. When we start launching real attack, you will see several underground tunnels discovery. ISWAP has some really advance underground tunnel system, idea borrowed from ISIL.
Coolliot: The only thing I would agree to is that, the location is Maiduguri...this aircraft you are calling super tucano aren't super tucano, you can see the engines by the side and you can see the size in comparison with the j7, and the shape of the supposed tucano wings. This is most probably a picture from this year, but much earlier, before the f7s left the country and tucano came to Nigeria.... because there are only 2 f7s in the country, the rest are out. My fellow clown
What you are calling dual engine are external fuel tanks. Go wear your glasses and look again. Those are clearly Super Tucano.
If you don't want your number to be visible just go to Settings, Privacy and Security then set your phone number visibility to "Contact only" or "nobody".
Faithful007: Nothing there is classified info. More detailed info is even on the web. Stop abusing Military secrecy pls. Too much of it brings government distrust and fans conspiracy theories.
If Nigeria Air Force knows he took that picture and shared it in social media he will be in trouble. Taking pictures and sharing the itinerary of foreign contractor is a serious security breach. He shouldn't do it again. There are also terrorists and enemies of the state on this thread.
The recent attack on Damboa by ISWAP was clearly a probing attack. They did something similar in Askira Uba before launching the one that purportedly overran a military base and led to the death of 4 others in a relief ambush. The military should be ready for a full-scale attack soon.
kikuyu1: I've wanted him to at least attempt to use smth approaching English: the inside out grammar,ignoring of tense and punctuation is too much even for this thread! It gives me a stomach ache!?
Those were deliberate. They are supposed to be idiosyncrasies of the character he created. Dude can type pretty well.
Whyem15: Every information on ISWAP that I have been seeing in the last few days seem to point towards the group preparing to fight to the last in the next offensive. It will be of great help if the government can get Chad and Cameroon to launch offensives from their own sides at the same time, it will be extremely difficult for the enemy to fight on multiple fronts. Also, NAF should be working with intelligence communities to go after the enemy's important weapons. Soften them up a lot before the offensive begins then they should continue providing CAS.
Lastly, the mistakes of former offensives should not be made, the military should already have plans to consolidate on whatever would be achieved in this offensive to prevent the enemy from ever recovering.
They are going to rely a lot on IED, suicide bombers and ambushes. Nigerian Army needs to be prepare for this.
DubaiLandLord1: Are there no more Nigerian civilians living in the lake Chad axis of Borno state?
Are villages no more functioning at all around the axis?
The government has banned fishing in Lake Chad basin because terrorists profit mainly from it. If they dropped bomb on your head while fishing in that area, don't cry blue murder.
DubaiLandLord: Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, has condemned the attack on the Oyo town correctional facility, saying the invasion was a national embarrassment.
Suspected bandits Friday night reportedly attacked the Abolongo Correctional Centre in Oyo town, freeing an unspecified number of inmates at the facility.
