Toju200:
Residents of #Geidam interviewed by BBC Hausa yesterday said reports that ISWAP distributed N20,000 to families are false and misleading. They said residents didn't even come into personal contact with the terrorists as they fled or remained indoors.

Thanks Big man

"Strike Face" is not a company name - its an instructional guideline. It tells you which side of the plate must face "outwards". Its the "face" of the plate you want the bullet to "strike".

When bullets hit plates they normally shatter (Spalling) these shards are lethal, so the back side of the plate as well as the sides are designed to prevent these bullet shards hitting you - if you have the plate the wrong way in you will not get full spalling protection and will be injured if your plate is hit by a bullet.

I dont think Nigeria Machine Tools manufacture those plates from my simple google search. i assume they use "strike face" ballistic plates for their vests.

Henry240:

It is Nigerian through in through. Manufactured by Nigeria Machine Tools, based in Osun state.

strike face plate is not Nigerian na abi?

You should look in to that battle. Think it is the only time that UN forces fought rebels who had air superiority.

NAF fighter jets were flying so low in Abuja's sky today.
I just learnt they are preparing for an aerial display.

I saw a couple of drones too...or were my eyes deceiving me?

While you guys were busy destroying the thread, Boko boys won a major battle against our boys. May the souls (our boys)of the departed rest in peace. https://twitter.com/donklericuzio/status/1018131934797615109?s=21

For anyone interested in finding out more about the f-35 1 trillion dollar project. From the Americans. Quite insightful and hilarious thread at the same time.

I dont want to believe things are that bleak in SA judging from the content of that page.

Pick up AH & knock off the chip on NAF's shoulder? Say No to Turf Wars

The LUH are appropriate but I wish it were something already in service e.g A109 or EC135. I also have that fear the helos will become air taxi for generals that are homesick

Haven't you noticed the turf war going on? Airforce building a land army while the army has an air wing now? Army display few weeks back used navy helis not airforce. Just saying

Really Augububu?

Ever heard of PAGAD? Pie bombs in the Cape? Ever heard of Boeremag? What happened to them? counter terrorism happened.

In any given day, there's a terrorist organization working underground to bomb a South African location and it never happens because the counter terrorism works at that level.

For years, we've told you that there's never gonna be an organization that will be as large as Boko Haram or ISIS freely operating inside the country, it's never happening - EVER!

My point. Hope it doesn't reach the France or Belgium level. Where these guys come back from Syria or Iraq and integrate into the populace without being spotted.

Sometime last year, I saw pictures of Egyptians being arrested for some crimes in that small town. It was very weird because I have never heard of Egyptians (or Muslim man besides Pakistanis) being arrested for criminal activities.

My 2-cent says it's the very same Egyptians or the same brotherhood who did this. If the investigators are as smart as me, they should have had everything about the attackers by now.

Hope your Counter terrorism guys are up to the task. Nip in the bud before it evolves.

jln115:
Don't know why ISIS would attack a Mosque in SA, Muslims only make up 1.5% of our population....So would make much more sense that they would attack a religion other than their own.

My conclusion is that it was probably not ISIS and most likely an isolated indecent.

Two reasons I assume ISIS;
1. 3 Egyptians linked to the attack and Egypt is currently fighting ISIS in the Sinai peninsula.
2. ISIS West Africa attack worshipers (muslims) at place of worship (mosque) . It might be a doctrine.

Whats up with the Durban mosque attack? ISIS getting bold in SA?
