Must I post the link where Barlow states step by step how 72 Strike Force was created and trained? Or you willing to find it yourself on the net?

Nigerian tactics would have been the same regarldless of MRAP purchased. Do you really think you need a crew of men to come over and teach you how to drive an MRAP? Its not a specialist weapon at all.

The own of a company is a business man, he can say what ever to make the world see him as a guru.

He doesn't have to be a weapon specialist to run the company.

There were many expertise in Nigeria at that time why is it that only Barlow was trying to create name. Nonsense.

B

COIN has a lot to do with local security agencies.
More than half of fight against terrorism as to do with gathering intelligence. Barlow trianed the SSS and police as well because they all have a lot to do NE.

He simply came to Nigeria for a purpose which is to train troop on how to use newly acquired equipment in the fighter. The amount of troops he trained is not even enough to take a local government.
Barlow is a business man and wants to make name.

Glory thieves. Nigerian military procured new equipment becos they needed them in the fight against the insurgents, most of which were Russian. Barlow was given a 3 months contract (jan- mar) to train a small group on few newly acquired equipments.

What will those that trained most of the military men that used the tanks and other heavy equipment say even our neighbors. Nigeria own the master plan not Barlow Ole.

Remember Nigeria already prepared for the attack since late 2014 when they complain their equipment might not get to Nigeria on time until early 2015. That was even b4 Barlow started his contract.

There were others training majority of our troops before the six week started. Nigerian military declared the six weeks operation not Barlow eeben.
Nigeria troops started taking over territories in January which was taking place in different locations at the same time.

If you think nigeria military were not good on their own how will Barlow train a strike force in less than a month.
How long do you think it will take them to get used to the new system in the first place. If you think it is possible go to Benin Republic, pick 200 of there soldier and train them in 2 months.

Eeben Barlow was only looking for recognition.

Boko haram is a strong terrorist group why will any right thinking military not give him credit if he was truly the game planner.

Why was his contract not renewed if he was the game planner. Ole osi.

I will not even get into the "we needed new equipment" story. It is a waste of time and data. This thread has been going on for years. Nigerians have been claiming how they would combat the SANDF, listing all equipment and posting pics. Why was there a need to huridly go buy equipment to combat Boko Haram? New tanks, new MRLS's etc etc. Why not use the equipment you've been showing us on this thread? If SA and Nigeria had hypothetically gone to war last year, you would have asked us to wait a few months while you logged onto Amazon.com to buy new tanks? Waste....of....time.

So what is the Navy's fleet?


The Nigerian navy has over 400 vessels in it's fleet. If half of these vessels are operational, it leaves the Navy with over 200 vessel in operation.

You know nothing about the combat academy, Nigeria has no such facility. That is where army and air force do simulatory war exercises where Air force fire live rockets.

I have seen combat academy in American Mojave desert far better than what you have in South Africa.

No combat academy allows tanks to fire on tanks and artillery to fire on artillery or jets to fire on jets.

You know nothing about it, what they do is MILES ON MILES infantry training with laser/alarms/man-marker fake bullets/etc and the aim is to show individual soldiers the chances that they get hit and die in close-in hand to hand man to man combat.

Your SANDF is just using rifles to mark each other's uniforms to show who was hit, fools are shooting rifle at fools, cowards on cowards, your battle school infantry men still fear Sudan boys in Toyota.

SAAF jets and helicopters have been shown in photos dropping bombs on empty space, sand and stones, hitting nothing ! Why don't your aircraft simulate a real battle and drop ammunition on your army who can fire back with anti-aircraft weapons like Boko Haram fires on Nigerian jets and helicopters in real life combat?

Nigeria does real live combat with air force and army weapons killing real enemies, not pretending in a battle school where the trainees know that the enemy is fake and nobody will die from fake bullets, your combat academy products are the same men in Sudan that realized that Sudanese boys can kill with Ak-47, and the useless battle school training did not give SANDF troops the courage to fight, they agreed to surrender if Sudan boys fire rifles first....Southies train cowards who remain cowards after all the fake training like theater arts on drama stage

Thanks, Can you tell me what do you meet before you enter the main entrance of Mojave desert battle center? That is so protruding that it can never go unnoticed.

Apart from everything else about what you commented is untrue. Tanks and everything else that is used in offensive by the land troops is used in battle centres.

Eeben Barlow is not an engineer working for South African arms contractors, in fact he is an ex SADF special force who is a hardened fighter. He and his men trained Nigerian military and that's a fact.

If those Rhinos are useless animals, why are you so worried about them you deployed a whole 21 battalion of SANDF and air force helicopters to fight save them? Why did you use aircraft to fly mere animals like VIP men to hide in escape to Botswana after the poachers defeated SANDF in your own homeland bush where your COIN and bush war tactics have failed you?

Those Rhinos are your natural resources with money value of millions dollars made on Rhino horns in the world market.

Same way if invaders from Zimbabwe cross border to steal your gold in illegal mining, will you say it's ordinary minerals not human beings?

It is the moral duty, and constitutional duty of ALL MILITARY FORCES in the world to defend the territorial integrity of their country when foreigners violate your land from another country, yes the territorial integrity and independence of South Africa is daily violated by Zimbabwean Rhino poachers, that is a job for SANDF your military, not your Forest Ranger men, your national land is now being invaded and your natural resources of Rhino horns is being looted daily in a brutal bloodshed of the Rhinos.

It is the duty of South African military to defend South Africa from armed foreigners, SANDF has failed at home, your COIN skills are ZERO and your Bush war tactics are a FAILURE in your own fatherland......thanks to your INEXPERIENCED ARMY and incompetent Generals

In only one sentence.
