OK. But we can be sure that when it comes under fire from an ambush the men in that thing may return home in brown boxes wrapped with the flags of our fathers. It is too exposed. Maybe it would work during the dry season in the Nigerian Northeast but now the vegetation there makes planning an ambush very easy. Such vehicle should move in columns.

MNJTF CTCOIN.

For his gallantry performance at the battle field, lt.col
Muhammad Abu Ali was promoted by the Nigerian Army to
the rank of Lt.col and he was decorated by the Army Chief,
Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai in Sept 2015.
His subordinates hail and celebrate with him.

It can be up-armoured. Like i said previously, it is not a direct action vehicle. It's a Rapid Deployment Recon Vehicle.

Opinion: Should images like this be shared?

Is this the image your military wants "people" to have in their minds when they remember their hero? Body bag!

War isn't pretty. Army HQ shared that image. It should give the orders fighting the insurgents increased vigour to carry on and defeat them.

It's important that the military is open. People can trust them more.

MikeCZA:

One year is official. However many have spent Two years deployed.

Like i've consistently argued, these vehicles can only work effectively if the operators have dedicated air support.

Work?

They have been utilised for many decades. And have proven their worth in reccon, raiding etc.
