I'm I the only one thinking the reason the corrupt COAS has decided to silent Sirusblack, is because of the 40 helicopters and other weapons they said to be acquiring soon and money budgeted to persecute this war, and with the contributions of experienced people on the thread who seem to know much about weapons and cost, and the COAS is trying to silent every means of them been exposed when they finally pull the trigger as in embezzle our money, without procuring any weapon. If the weapon is purchased or not, sirusblack and others in the house will be aware and inform us, or should they try to inflate we also know.

You must be a prophet..the story played out EXACTLY as you predicted! Till today, no 40 gunships anywhere!!..no JF-17, no nothing!

hahahahaa, bros no be 9ja we dey? our country is blessed, and God in his wisdom knowing if we have true leaders, who will think of the people first before their selfish interest, even almighty United State, britts will be far behind us, he decided to balance the equation with our politicians. We don't have as much disaster as other countries, hurricane, earthquake etc our own disaster is our leaders.

Wow! The best thing that happened to me today is see u write again. I had a very depressing day, but seeing ur comments after a long while raised my spirit. Sirius more bullet to ur gun. Stay safe.

@SiriusBlack,

Good to know you're doing fine. Please whatsoever you want to share do it discreetly, we have a lot of BH sympathizers, government minders, GEJ baby sitters and APC apologist on this forum.

Stay safe my brother.

Reading from Siriusblack after a long absence gladden my heart, but felt very worried at the same time. Worried because the government of the day and its military high command are not willing to prosecute and end this crisis with the required military hardware. For how long will some of our finest soldiers continue to pay the supreme price because of the inefficienies and corrupt practices of those that should know better.

It was a good news to hear that BMP-2s hardware has been procured and activated for NE engagement.

The question we need to ask the military high command are
1. Why procure a 1982 military hardware to fight a 21st century war?
2. Is the current ammos flying around in the north east a 1982 ammos?
3. Why buy BMP -2 when BMP-3 produced in 1987 exist?

If we want to buy tokunboh hardware atleast we should buy something close to new. When countries like Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Greece, Indonesia, Kuwait, South Korea, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates and Venezuela can have BMP-3 IFV, what stops Nigeria in having BMP -3 or even better ones.

Let the government show some seriousness in fighting and ending this war within the shortest possible time by giving our soldiers first grade tokunboh hardware and not junk yard destined hardwares. We need attack helos, drones that can be fitted with hellfire missiles, our soldiers needs Tavor assault rifles and good armored protected vehicles. If America refused in selling us military hardwares, Russia will gladly sell to us, Iran will be willing, Israel will be glad and South Africa wilb be happy to doing business with us.



Find below info about BMP -2

The BMP-2 IFV first appeared in the late 1970s and many be regarded as a product improved BMP-1. Its development commenced in the early 1970s. First prototype was completed in 1974. Many of the drawbacks of the BMP-1 were eliminated. It was accepted to service with the Soviet Army in 1980. It was first publicly revealed in 1982. The BMP-2 has been produced in large numbers, the Russian Army alone is estimated to have received some 20 000 vehicles.

The BMP-2 was license-produced in Czechoslovakia (BVP-2) and India (Sarath). Essentially similar vehicles have been produced in Bulgaria (BMP-30) from where many were exported to Iraq. This IFV was one of the Eastern Block's most important combat vehicles numerically. It was also exported to the Soviet allies. Currently major operators of the BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle are Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Belarus, Czech Republic, Finland, India, Iran, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Poland, Slovakia, Syria, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Yemen.

The BMP-2 carries over the same general lines as the BMP-1 and is thus a low, agile, reliable and serviceable vehicle with adequate engine power for most all-terrain missions, especially with late production vehicles which have several improvements over earlier models such as improved fire control extra armor in places and layout alterations.

The BMP-2 was fitted with a new two-man turret. The most obvious improvement being the replacement of the BMP-1's non-stabilized 73-mm low velocity gun by a more versatile and effective fully-stabilized dual-fed 30-mm cannon. The previous gun had a maximum range of only 1 300 m. Also it could not be used against air targets. The 30-mm cannon proved to be successful. Later it was used on a number of Soviet/Russian armored vehicles, as well as attack helicopters. This cannon fires HE-FRAG, HE and armor-piercing rounds. It can engage armored targets at a range of 1 500 m, ground targets at a range of 4 000 m and helicopters at a range of up to 2 500 m. There is also a coaxial 7.62-mm machine gun. Some BMP-2 IFVs are additionally fitted with a 40-mm automatic grenade launcher.

A Fagot (AT-4 Spigot) or Konkurs (AT-5 Spandrel) ATGW launcher may be mounted over the turret. These missiles have a range of up to 2 500 m and 4 000 m respectively. Also a portable anti-tank launcher is often carried inside the vehicle.

Welded steel armor of the BMP-2 provides all-round protection against 12.7-mm rounds. Front arc of this IFV offers partial protection against 20-mm ammunition. Vehicle is also fitted with NBC protection and automatic fire suppression systems.

A rather cramped interior remained but the number of troops carried was reduced to seven. Vehicle commander was relocated from a position behind the driver to the turret. Normally commander dismounts with the troops. Each soldier has its own firing port and associated vision block.

This infantry fighting vehicle is powered by a UTD-20S1 turbocharged diesel engine, developing 300 hp. It is an improved version of the BMP-1 engine. Transmission and running gear is almost identical to that of its predecessor. Engine and transmission can be easily removed and replaced in field conditions. Vehicle is fully amphibious. On water it is propelled by its tracks. Mine ploughs may be fitted to most vehicles.

There are a number of variants of the BMP-2. Czechoslovakia and India developed their own variants, including armored ambulance, armored engineering vehicle, bridging reconnaissance vehicle and many other.
Currently the BMP-3 is in service with Russia, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Greece, Indonesia, Kuwait, South Korea, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates and Venezuela In 1987 production of the new BMP-3 began. It has little common with the BMP-2 and the previous BMP-1.

Variants
BMP-2K command vehicle

BMP-2D version with improved armor protection. Vehicle is fitted with add-on steel armor on the hull and turret. It entered service in 1982 and was widely used during a Soviet war in Afghanistan. The vehicle is no longer amphibious due to increased weight;

BRM-2 armored reconnaissance vehicle

BMO-1 a dedicated armored transport vehicle for specialized flamethrower squads.

Boko haram has this medium battle tanks and personnel carriers, and their fighters have proven they can fight more bravely than our troops.
Therefore to win, we need to get better weapons to defeat Boko haram's tanks and armored vehicles from the air.



We need more MH35 attack helicopters!


Especially when they have night fighting capability to invade BH camps at night with surprise attacks as well as being able to support our troops in battle.We must find a way for ground troops to communicate with the helicopter force.

Good news our nigga is safe, keep hitting them hard, you got our support.

General sirius, go Bleep them up and romance them with imaginary 72 virgins. Stay safe man

We will get there, now that the government and the Military top brace are gradually waking up to their responsibility. We will get more of this hardware from Russia to prosecute this war. Unfortunately, time is not on our side.
