Faithful007: The report is simply saying Niger has no right to determine the security arrangements that the country wants. Niger is a hotbed for terrorists activities, yet it houses two major US bases with personnel strength of 1,500. |

Iran fired north of 500 projectiles and only 7 or 8 found its target with minimal damage. Even if perhaps so intended no way Iran spent money it doesn’t have for only 7 or 8 to find its target. Yes it is good for the consumption of the domestic audience but the IRGC knows its limitations which is reduced to a massive barrage of surface to surface missiles in any escalated conflict aiming to destroy Israel which in modern warfare is wishful thinking. In the latest imbroglio you would want to make a more profuse statement with at least 20 to 30 SSMs causing maximum damage to the enemy. The point is even without American or European help Israel has demonstrated its Arrow ADS, Iron Dome, David Sling, Patriot Systems [hardly employed] can keep the State of Israel alive to fight another day. When Israel responds then everyone will find out it’s far ahead of Iran in Military technology and capability and that Tehran commands a third rate military. You’d find Israeli systems hitting targets with precision and damages for a lifetime proving technology and weapon systems that are light years ahead Iran will never match under the current mullah regimes. Israel will want to restore its deterrence capability in a retaliatory strike. Now let’s educate amateurs with open source intelligence. When Iran was going to respond to crossover attack purportedly from Pakistan next door, it relied on what it’s clearly now its only sole deterrent capability which is long-range ballistic and cruise missiles and in some cases terror-drones to exhaust adversary air defence missiles/munitions with a 1 to 10 ratio hit of followed-up projectiles, a pattern learnt, adopted or fine tuned from the Russians in Ukraine to overwhelm air-defenses. But a nation with credible attack capabilities don’t solely rely on long-range surface-to-surface land attack missiles or one way suicide drones as they are more prone to being shot down or disabled with electronic counter measures. This explains Iran’s weaknesses. Now enters The Pakistani Air Force which in responding at a time and place of its choosing to Iran’s SSM attack on it’s territory [ostensibly against militants] employed attack aircraft that hit precise targets in Iran [stand-off or inbound is unknown] with better accuracy and ferocity to punish Iran’s belligerence. To this day Iran has no counter. Why! Because it lacks the air capacity and capability to do so for lack of spare parts for its fighter aircraft’s owing to sanctions. Pakistan has twice now demonstrated its first rate Air Force advanced capabilities whether stand-off, over the horizon or Air-to-Air warfare first against India a peer power and now Iran in a State-on-State combat scenario. The point is, to demonstrate and project deadly combat power with a better chance of success you need a modern and capable Air Force. That brings us to the Israeli Air Force the best in the region and one of the best in the world flying F-35i, F-16s and different layers of AEWs both on the ground and in the air including satellite systems and a bourgeoning economy and what is increasingly subtle and direct Arab support against former Persia which is Iran a shitte Muslim state considered heretics against Sunni Islam, it stands no chance of winning a long war of attrition short of nuclear weapons. This is why Iran wants the bomb. Verdict: Israel is first world country by many standards including Defence Force. Iran is a third rate military. Israel alone will hold its own and punish Iran more severely than Iran can in a war of retaliatory strikes. If the US, UK & the EU gets involved Israel will eventually crush the Shitte Regime in Tehran [Russia, China, North Korea will not directly come to its aid] and it will erode home support for its state sponsored terror foreign policy for survival. See video for the Israeli Military Commander’s resolute retaliatory warning and the beautiful IAF F-35i in the background sending Iran a psychological message of whats to come. Those Birds will hit Iran in punishing strikes where it hurts and be on its way home before Iran realises it had been hit and it will likely be its Nuclear Weapons Sites, something Israel had begged for the day to come it would have the pretext to destroy what is an existential threat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyO2eIVrWRc?si=JY6sg_mNsgq7R59d 2 Likes |

Omofaye99: Lol! Iran with hypersonic weapons Well let’s assume in an Alice-wonderland-story Iran has mastered such technology but Nigeria is still chasing bandits in pickups with no end in sight. I can’t wait for Israel to hit back and let no one come and cry me a river because we would all find out the hard way who’s actually the boss in the region and actually has F-35i launched bunker-busting hypersonic air-breathing weapon with guaranteed earth re-entry and impossible to defend against. 3 Likes |

Omofaye99: Don’t be naive, mischievous or both. Sentiments and emotions don’t win wars except maybe on Nairaland. No evidence in the Negev of hypersonic weapons. They are expensive, exhaustible [few in numbers and in production] and come with heavy payloads/warheads or tipped with nuclear weapons for strategic warfare. Only the Russian Aerospace Forces have purportedly used it in combat, tested and now in use with the USAF, and purportedly China. Every other thing is pure speculation. North Korea showed one on the ground recently something common with Iran to show off replicas Only an amateur like you would believe that. Hypersonic weapons travel more than 5 times the speed of sound and designated as invincible. We saw those ballistic missiles come in nothing short of its usual trajectory. You won’t see hypersonic weapons except you live to tell the tale from a distance. Wait for it, Israel always delivers. 1 Like |

kabe1:CNN is an American news network and all I see is a US centric report to it's US audience. Nothing bad was said about Niger government. The news is just from a US perspective. If you've watched a CNN report about Nigeria, you'll know it sounds just about the same. They don't go into detail about anything within Nigeria. They'll just mention it briefly then go over to how it affects US-Nigeria relationships and US interests, which is what their viewers want to hear. Secondly, it is a bit misplaced to think that US wants to fight terrorism for others. Mostly it's just intelligence and training. |

Covert1: Show me evidence of USA hypersonic missile if that the case of your jumbo. Hypersonic weapons travel more than 5 times the speed of sound and designated as invincible. More reason why we're not intercepted. "We saw those ballistic missiles come in nothing short of its usual trajectory." you saw what yet they hit their target without interception from the advance Israel AD like you said. They are expensive, exhaustible [few in numbers and in production], and come with heavy payloads/warheads or tipped with nuclear weapons for strategic warfare. Hypersonic are just missiles that travel more times the speed of sounds not defined by it payload/warhead. 1 Like |

Nigeria is a failed state. That’s exactly the reason bandits and terrorists are having a field day and the problem intractable. No surprises when gangsters and lunatics have taken over the asylum. Why would the country get better when you have APC sycophants and mediocres defending ineptitude, incompetence and corruption in broad daylight. I’m since done with this sh.it. What a fake life. Until there is justice, equity and fairness in the system it’s a waste of time for everybody. Nigeria will never succeed when the worst rule the best, where there is wealth without enterprise, where tribalists, ethnic jingoists and “religious” irredentists hold sway for narrow, primordial, archaic agendas. This is the bitter truth and until we accept that truth no one will ever take us serious, ever! Take the green passport and go to Kenya or any average African country or Turkey etc and let us see how you will be treated whether as the citizen of the supposedly giant of Africa or a reject of the earth. You find out I’m right when in the 21st Century it is only sentimental Nigerians for the very same reasons they have ruined their country through Islamafascism claim a third world country like Iran that has not delivered an airstrike in decades has hypersonic capability only deployable by attack aircraft. Oshey lol Below is the best aircraft we can offer and the best among them the JF-17 is only 3 in the 21st Century. No sea going missile armed Frigate or Destroyers. No advanced Air Defence Systems. No frontline modern MBTs in required numbers. Meanwhile politicians are getting fat and sharing money and think they can go up against potential Pantsirs, Iglas, S-300 / S-400s in Niger Republic. We have been screaming for decades yet this is the best we’ve arrived at in 2024 with a “president” that’s on record to have forfeited narcotics money to a foreign entity, fraudulent educational background, age, nationality yet somehow still became president, only in Nigeria. That tells you all you need to know. 1 Like

What do you see! Madness on steroids from the acc.ursed children, sycophants, mediocres oblivious of reality that they have no legs to stand on. You see one of the reasons President Obasanjo succeeded is that despite whatever he maybe accused of not doing , when he came to power he sat all agents of the levers of power, politicians, the academia, Military Generals, Admirals and Air Marshals and told them things are bleak and they all agreed things were so bad that South Africa outstripped them in every strata of development at the time including the Armed Forces and they mapped out an ambitious plan they vigorously worked hard on and by the time he left office Nigeria was debt free with about 50 billion dollars in total reserves including the ECA and the path to becoming nominally the largest GDP in Africa. Fast forward to 2015 to date and every gain, prestige, respect economically and militarily have not only been wiped out by the APC and its presidents but put in decline overall. These are facts. The records are there and I’m even modest.

Add another 8 years of a thief misruling Nigeria and 8 wasted years of a b.uffon Buhari that’s 16 years add it to your age and what you make of that tells if you’re a f.ool or not to continue to acquiesce, tolerate and abide poor governance, fascism, incompetence, cluelessness and retrogression. Crying & wailing is a stretch. I don’t even have pity anymore except some form of “hate”. I have vowed Nigeria will never abuse me again. Ever!

Israel has hit Iran. It didn’t need 500 airborne vehicles nor 14 days to hit Isfahan related to Iran’s drone, nuclear, missile research & production. Israel struck proportionately in response where it wanted, when it wanted it and how it wanted and to think it gave a 24hr to 48hr notice on yet two 1000kg warhead got through to its target with precision humiliating Iran.
