DeadCountry:

No outrage from hypocrites like you, because its not about IPOB or Simon EKpa.

But una ipob don become bandits spokesmen, describing the kind of Ak-47 dey use to bring down the helicopter, just to discredit the Airforce. Na wetin dey always give una joy be dat.

mrvitalis:
Either the army dont know physics, defense science or what projectiles and momentum is or he is just plain stupi.d

All you have to do is to target the rotor and hit it a few times

Hitting the blade at certain angle that can be achieved by luck via rapid firing can bring it down even

Helicopters are considered unsafe really because they are mostly unstable

im not supprised sha the other day I watched a video of army shooting at bandits abi Boko Haram...no coordination,no aiming just face direction and empty your bullets

It's really sad this is what nepotism breeds.

Lecturer, not surprised that this nonsense is coming from you?

Reinaldo:
AK-47 has a range of around 300m. If a helicopter is flying low an AK can surely bring it down

How Many has Ipob & ESN brought down? Just to be chasing malus from one village to the other, & forcing their brothers to sit @ home is their call to fame?

If 10 people armed with an ak fire randomly at the rotor blade, there is every chance one or two will bring it down not to talk of bandits with 100 population

The people wey get evidence don claim glory

SpatialKing:
You go explain explain explain
No evidence

If it was IPOB, the whole village would have been burnt down.

Then the Helicopter armed with rapid fire sub machine guns will just be waiting for try your luck bandits gun fire?

Whose side are you on ? who is known for lying shamelessly?
Is the crash site not a bandit enclave? Shiroro is notorious for terrorism

Allthelight:
you are very funny.... A military helicopter has alot of armour and yes helicopters fly low in war zones. But if the bandit really shot down the helicopter using an AK-47 the Nigerian Airforce really have alot of unqualified pilots.

Don’t jump the gun, who told you that whole village will not still be burnt down?

Burn Burn na em dey sweet them pass, bring the petrol & matches, eyes 👀 done red, burn burn.

Don't judge reality based on American movies

Validated:

Do you mind NAF, all it takes in to hit the pilot and the rest will be history.

There are two pilots and besides AK47 doesn't have that strength to cause serious damage at the helicopter at the attitude it must have been flying.

DUMB IPOB everywhere. Your hatred for Nigeria has blinded you to reason.

Ev#l country, a terrorist downed a helicopter and you're busy calling them bandits! If is unknown gunmen now you will call them ipob terrorist.

Reinaldo:


"A military helicopter". What's the model of the aircraft? Not all are armoured. Also, armour piercing rounds exist

Don't confuse and AA with an AK47

You have watched too much American actions films

Burob:

If you understand Hausa in the video. He said there was exchange of fire btw the helicopter and them (terrorist). Some of the terrorist were holding machine guns too

Error401:

You get the point 😂😂

Toh
Tell them o
I can't believe people will be so stupid to fall for bandits propaganda. Illiterate bush men o.

Even chatGpt don get the update about Nigeria lies

It has happened before many times


They should just take responsibility and improve

Reinaldo:

The calibre of AK47 is 7.62mm special.
You think it can bring down a jet?
Bro no let American/Indiana film deceive you

DeadCountry:
All of you fools should stop using your cesspit government's coined word "bandits" because it is not bandit, but terrorists. Google the meaning of bandits first to cure your pretense.
Always use the right word to describe the fulani herdsmen terrorists and bokoharam terrorists, and the right world is not bandits, but terrorists.

I agree. The government is intentionally using the word "bandits" to make these terrorist attacks seem as "isolated incidents".
By using the wrong word they try to minimize terrorism as much as they can in the medias, when in reality terrorism is an act of war.
People or nations do war by proxi using terrorists as mercenaries

The fulani terrorists have high power amour piercing machine guns with good range.. This can easily bring down a plane

Offpointng:


Video source??

I also saw the video on TikTok,I was very angry at them
Nonsense and military

I also do not tink a helicopter can be shot down wit ak 47 xcept during action.However,this fcking airforce initially said d copter was on surveillance...now story has changed to conveying dead bodies of soldiers

In the video, one of those guyz was with machine so they got varying weapon to use maybe even RPG

SalamRushdie:
From the little view I got of :

1 : The helicopter when put into full power to get away during its lift off manuever got caught by its owns rotor wash and went into an irrecoverable spin .

2 : The side door was open during the takeoff and some of Dogo Gides boys shots where able to get in and hit the pilot who had control at the time ..

Aswearrr, that's my only explanation.

1. bad weather when evacuating, helicopter went into irrecoverable spin and crashed

or since terrorists also use 50 caliber machine guns or AA's, the soldiers came for evacuation, bandits reinforced and started shooting at the aircraft, some shots hit the pilots (making the aircraft uncontrollable) or some shots hit the rotor and the blade and the pilot lost power and crashed with everyone on board.

Also, I don't see why some people are making a big fuss out of this. Aircrafts get shot down a lot during wars.

Burob:

Illiterate does IPOB attack police?

Gadafii:
Is NAF aware that bandits are armed with ANto Aircraft

Very pathetic lots, lying shamelessly

I mean, bandits have anti aircraft guns and 50 caliber machine guns and it only takes a minute of steady shots to the helicopter's rotor and blade to disable the aircraft and send the boys crashing.

Yes...ak 47 can bring down an helicopter if it flies within its fire range by targeting the tail rotor blade precisely not the main big blades . Helicopter is difficult where it comes to stability. The tail rotor blade is the life of an helicopter, helicopter tail rotor blade failure has contributed 40% to helicopter crashes around the world.

IVORY2009:
But they do have rocket launcher

They do not.

If they did then the NAF would use the J7 Thunder which has a stand off delivery system of at least 25 km.

You won't even see the aircraft.

Most likely mechanical failure for it not to be able to make it back to base.

The aircraft fuselage is not as compressed as a missile hit. The pictures are all there.

hmmmm you forget that they are not dealing with the East in this case. They will avoid the truth at all cost. If it where in the East, the whole village would have been sacked and their homes burnt.
