Boko Haram terrorists have a hard time understanding the jig is up. After losing close to hundreds of fighters in recent weeks some Boko Haram commander figured it was a good idea to attack an army base. The attack underscored the illusion of Boko Haram commanders.

Boko Haram insurgents attacked the base in their classic style. Dozens of fighters attacked from four points simultaneously firing mortars and RPGs, hoping to overwhelm the defenders and overrun the base. Remember this was the same tactics used in their attack on the Gudun Bali base last Friday.

The Nigerian army was not gonna fall for this again. They allowed the insurgents close in on the base before engaging. Call for aerial support was delayed to give the attackers a false sense of security.

Nigerian troops reinforced the base with orders not to fire their weapons and reveal their position. It must have felt too easy because the wary insurgents attempted to set up a defensive perimeter in a village called Arkuma but changed their mind.

Turns out the insurgents had been firing on mostly empty structure all along. Nigerian troops opened fire from well concealed positions up close, making their RPGs useless. In their confusion the insurgents attempted to fight their way out the ambush but were picked apart.

At 6 pm seeing the battle was lost the insurgents attempted to salvage defeat by attacking the village of arkuma. They mounted on 15 trucks and and approached the village from different directions simultaneously to wreak havoc. This was when helicopter gunships swooped low and made minced meat of the convoy. Many who survived the strike and ran towards the village on foot were cut down by snipers.

Lead-in fighter training (LIFT) utilises advanced jet trainer aircraft with avionics and stores-management capability that emulate operational fighter planes, to provide efficient training in combat scenarios with reduced training costs compared to moving straight to operational conversion.

As an advanced training aircraft, the Yak-130 is able to replicate the characteristics of several 4+ generation fighters as well as the fifth-generation Sukhoi Su-57. It can also perform light-attack and reconnaissance duties, carrying a combat load of 3,000 kg.

The T-50 program was originally intended to develop an indigenous trainer aircraft capable of supersonic flight, to train and prepare pilots for the KF-16 and F-15K, replacing trainers such as T-38 and A-37 that were then in service with the ROKAF

The aerodynamic performance of the aircraft is enhanced by its large leading edge extensions (LEX) design, which gives a maximum angle of attack of 30°. This is very useful when trying to simulate the maneuvers of advanced fourth-generation fighters such as J-10, JF-17 and J-11, as well as for newest fifth generation fighter like J-20 and J-31

honestly Nigeria have to rebuild and restructure its army this is very bad... this is not how you fight in a war...

mekussa:


This clip shows how the NIGERIAN ARMY in its entirety fights?

This Twenty- something second clip helped you conclude that the WHOLE army needs rebuilding and restructuring?

Even in the movies you don't see teams where everyone is calm and calculated under fire not to talk of real life.

Show me an army that doesn't have this kind of reaction from its men under fire and I'll show you an army that's not fighting a war.

BTW, since they were judged on a less than 30 second clip, can you tell us who won? The fact that the clip made it out shows they survived and if they survived. It means the boko boiz didn't.

I'LL TAKE THIS KIND OF FIGHTING AND THE ASSOCIATED VICTORY 10 TIMES A DAY over Hollywood standard fighting with losses.

No one is talking about Hollywood fighting and yes a single brigade... a single soldier should represent the entire army we're talking here equipment, uniforms and even how they behave in this video... if you don't see a problem here than you really should reconsider... this clip do prove how inefficient the war has been and prove the losses even when you win a battle it does cost you a lot of unnecessary lives and generally the situation in Nigeria does not prove to be well handled at all... they are still struggling with ISIS a lot.
you're talking like there are 2 ways of fighting the what you call "Hollywood" style and this -_- so how the US army is fighting like this ? how the French are fighting ? how the Russians are fighting ? how did the Iraqis win over ISIS ? I don't think they used the Hollywood style or the Nigerian style they acted as an organized well trained militaries not like this in fact in order to win over ISIS the Iraqis changed there plans and fired a lot of there useless generals and formed and trained with the US new units and bought new equipment in order to reclaim there lands because this style of fighting expectedly proved stupid and useless and made the army collapse in front of a militias.

Are the countless real life documentaries from the second world war to date Hollywood movies too? Fachfouch raised SOME valid points

So you mean that in these armies you mentioned no unit EVER fought like was shown in the video?
You also mean the video is a GENERAL reflecion of how the Nigerian army fights(such that they need to be restructured)?
You mean ALL soldiers act 100% the way they are trained to act under fire?

You were the one that shared a link to a 22 second video and inferred by your comments that that was how the NIGERIAN ARMY as a whole was fighting ISWAP which has made them not win the war yet. FOR F--,KS SAKE ..... A 22 SECOND VIDEO !!!!!

If the ONLY point you got from my post was that there was nothing wrong,I just have to salute you and leave it at that.

for god sake look at how they hold their rifles ! how a soldier with the bare minimum of training would hold his rifle like that ? lets say a single one did not attend training but look at them all of them how they are... maybe Nigeria have some good special forces unit but a bunch of soldiers act like that in the front line is very alarming and do reflect on the entire army whether you like it or not it does raises a lot of question what kind of training did they get ?! why they don't wear protective gear ? why some of the is wearing a red Tshirt ?!
