With the exception of Britainnia, the EU is enraged. Public support for military intervention is near absolute. United States president Donald Trump, who just won his re-election bid reluctantly reaffirms America’s commitment, but requests an immediate cease-fire from the belligerents.

ECOWAS Secretariat Abuja.
ECOWAS Security Council meets at the ECOWAS Secretariat in Abuja to deliberate on the worsening security threats and invoke the ECOWAS Security Chatter which mandates all member countries to come to the aid of any ECOWAS member country attacked by a hostile external power. All out war between Nigeria in one side and Chad, Cameroon and France.
With the exception of Ghana all 16 member States refuse Nigeria’s requests for an ECOWAS coalition to engage this threat, citing economic reason and non existent capacity to deploy any semblance of decent military forces.

Chad and Cameroon launches a land invasion of Nigeria on two fronts. This operation is a land force-intensive attack with 5 divisions of light armour and infantry. It’s size and capability far outmatch number of defending troops.

On the Chadian front , within hours Chadian troops have pierced 150 km north of Borno as dozen of villages fall to the Chadian army. On the Cameroonian front the scenario is vastly different. Anticipating French and Cameroonian military attack, Nigeria bolstered its defenses. Having lost its satellite reconnaissance capability Nigeria deployed a formidable array of forces to potential points of incursion and lie in wait. The assets deployed are :

Six Shaldag patrol craft from the Eastern Naval Command, Calabar.
Eight Mi-24 Hind helicopter gunship from the NAF Special Operations Command in Port Hacourt.
Two Mi-35 Hind helicopter gunship.
One Alennia ATR-42 Maritime Patrol Plane.
Six Alpha Jets.
Taking advantage of its superior manpower 20,000 troops are deployed to the eastern theatre, where they dig in and wait. Due to the successful attack on Nigeria’s space tracking facilities, Nigeria is unable provide 24 hours round the clock surveilance on enemy forces, and is forced to rely in a limited number of reconnaisance assets. Three King Air 350i surveillance plane, one ATR-42 MPA and two CH-3 Rainbow attack drones deploys to Calabar.

These assets provide enhanced early warning capabilities: C41, air defense including spoofing and jamming teams, six Roland surface to air missile batteries, Mobile UAV Command stations and airlift infrastructure.
One Squadron of Mi-17sh helicopters also deploys for emergency assistance. These forces were deployed over the cover of night and disperesed over long distances. They remain mobile, shifting location every day.

A Southern Cameroonian agent under the pay of the Nigerian Intelligence Agency reports seeing Caucasian looking soldiers arriving in ummarked aircrafts at a military airfield in Garoua, 60 km (40 miles east of Calabar). Several agents also report the arrival of military helicopters and fighter jets.

One ATR -42 Maritime Patrol Aircraft and one King Air 350i Reconnaissance planes assigned to the NAF 97 Special Operations Group (97 SOG), Port Harcourt are launched to conduct tactical patrols to corroborate the information given and try to obtain information concerning the disposition, composition, electronic and communication emissions of enemy forces.

Two NAF MB236 are vectored to escort ATR-42 reconnaisance and King Air 350i reconnaissance planes.

The ATR-42 Surveillance plane is escorted by two MB236 attack planes.
Nigeria’s fleet of Airborne Early Warning and Control aircrafts are high value assets. They enable Nigeria achieve air superiority over Cameroonian forces, and deploying aircrafts in a specific airspace.

The ATR-42 is basically an airborne radar system with its primary mission to detect far off targets. In a combat situation the long range detection capabilities gives it a 360 degree view of the sky and it can track 100 aircrafts and can vector fighter jets to intercept hostile aircrafts or provide target coordinates for ground air defence systems or artillery fire.
This gives the Nigerian Air Force a massive advantage as it makes it difficult for the enemy to plan an attack that will bypass your surveillance systems. To put it simple the enemy theoretically can never catch you off-guard, giving Nigeria absolute dominance of a contested airspace even if heavily outnumbered.

Without French support the Cameroonian Air Force stood no chance, hence even with the destruction of its satellites ground stations Nigeria still possess a formidable early warning system.

To deal with Nigeria’s ISR/ELINT threat France decides to carry out priority airstrikes against those airfields where ISR capable aircrafts are based and sea based surveillance systems. This entails applying lethal precision weapons against aircraft shelters, storage facilities, power source etc.

At around 21:00, an unidentified French Frigate launches a salvo of what seems to be Exocet cruise missiles against Nigeria’s Falcon Eye Surveillance Systems, a series of coastal sites stretching from Lagos to the Niger Delta days after two French Frigates were attacked by coastal defence forces.


The electro-optic systems and cameras has a range in excess of 200 nautical miles.

In that encounter a hundred and sixty MLRS systems massed along coastal areas fired three hundred 122 mm rockets and dozens of high explosive artillery shells. They were launched against two French Frigates when the Nigerian Navy’s Falcon Navy’s Falcon Eye Surveillance system detected two French frigates 12 miles off the coast of Lagos.

21:13 GMT

Eleven Mirage fighter jets, two Alpha Jets and six weaponised Atlas Impala jet trainers take off from an airbase in Garoua. Their mission, to destroy the air bases housing the NAF high value airborne platforms(ATR-42, Beechcraft Kung Air 350 i, early warning ground radar installations).


Three Mirage 2000D take off the Bamenda aerodrome on a strike mission against Nigerian surveillance platforms and airfields.
Forty miles inside Nigerian airspace the Mirage Fighters, with Cameroonian Air Force rounders broke formation and headed north, towards the base of the NAF Tactical Air Command in Jos, northeast Nigeria, while the other strike units continued on course. ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) 15 minutes.

From 13,000 ft in the air the crew of a NAF ATR-42 patrol plane spotted six low flying aircrafts that had just crossed into Nigerian airspace. The patrol plane mapped the advancing aircrafts. It identified and tracked the planes, they were heading towardS Port Hacourt and Yenagoa.



The crew on-board the patrol plane quickly radioed controllers at ground station and provided adequate targeting information to Nigeria’s interceptor jets.


Nigeria scrambles F-7N jets to intercept incoming hostile aircrafts.

Incoming !

Then suddenly the ATR-42 patrol plane detects what looked like 4 cruise missile inbound. The trajectory showed it heading towards the NAF Special Operations Group in Port Hacourt and the NAF Airlift/Logistics base in Yenagoa. The crew of the patrol plane try to confuse and break the lock of the anti-radiation sensors of the missiles by “blinking” it’s powerful radar and changing its flight path.

The manipulating of the surveillance plane’s signal causes just one of the cruise missiles to break lock. Two other King Air 350i plane packed with sensors were orbiting close enough to the ATR-42 plane receive similar warning information. They also blink and maneuver to defeat the anti-radiation sensors of the durandal missiles. Too late. The pilots of both aircrafts made a terrible mistake manipulating their powerful radars, they will not live to see their mistakes, as they were blotted out of the sky before the first cruise missiles hit their targets.

Nigerian army lol....
Nigerian army, Navy or airforce only know how to build themselves fancy buildings in Abuja. As for training, operational capability or even serviceable equipment, you have no idea how deep the decay.

You think if a real conflict breaks out between Nigeria and ANY country in West Africa, Nigeria will survive it? Nigeria can't even defeat Boko Haram and it is talking about conflict with another country? Okay oo.

Keep deluding yourself. You think obasanjo didn't know what he was saying when he cried in 2015 that Nigerian military had become a ghost of what it used to be? keep comparing Nigeria to well trained and well supplied military forces of Egypt or South Africa. You probably know the truth, so i won't go there.

Nigeria has no operational ability to sustain a military engagement outside Nigeria. Ask yourself how many serviceable Hercules planes we can boast about. How many serviceable armored personnel carriers we have. Or are you telling me you haven't seen Nigerian troops going into battle with being carried by Toyota Hilux with mounted machine gun?
I don't even want to mention air-force because today we are begging for propeller planes to be sold to us and everyone says NO, because of the army's human rights records.
Join these to the fact that you are proposing that discipline French forces will support Chadian troops or whatever scenario you have dreamt about. Look, it will be a massacre of Nigeria troops if such scenario ever materialized. if we cannot defeat Boko haram with it's rag tag command and control system, without tanks or artillery, no airforce, then you think we can defeat Chad that has all those equipment and backed by French military advisers? Bro, please what medicine did you forget to take
