[quote author=BabaOwen post=74503136] "It was also gathered that the group, after taking Baga, had been making consistent attempts to overrun Monguno (64km from Baga and 171km to Maiduguri). But they have been repeatedly beaten by the Army’s Special Forces deployed in the town. Many of the insurgents have lost their lives in the hands of the elite troops defending the town, sources said. They also said that over 200 of them were killed by Nigerien forces as they moved towards the neighbouring country after they were repelled from Monguno". Army SF is doing very well 2 Likes |

[quote author=BabaOwen post=7450313 "Sources said at the time of the fight last week, only Nigerian troops were at the base as forces from Chad, Cameroon and Niger had for long withdrawn and were only manning their own sides of the borders' If this report is correct, then WTF is the use of the MNJTF... Nigeria should just consider the other countries as possible reinforcement. |

GeneralFarouq: It's not possible to buy u personnel gun for use in the battlefield. I know of buying some accesories and kits online but not a firearm. You need to go through the police to get a fire arm permit either as a civilian or military/security agencies but I think as a military man it should be easier. https://www.wikiprocedure.com/index.php/Nigeria_-_Obtain_a_Gun_license |

Update on ISWAP attack on Damasak. Update: Multiple sources said #Nigeriantroops successfully repelled an #ISWAP attack last night, killing scores of the attackers and burning down at least 5 of their trucks. ISWAP, curiously, has not issued a statement, apparently because they suffered defeat.Kudos to our troops for a job well done. 4 Likes |

Sizzorkay: jakeporeshenko: Seeing this is a discussion thread, I'll chime in, using my little experience in the South African military. The South African Air Force, like our other services, has always prepared its bases for defence for almost 100 years now. One never knows! Whilst the Boko arseholes might not threaten Markurdi now, what happens should they do so? Look at the NA, their FOBs have been overrun so easily because the prevailing thought behind their construction was so deficient. 2) To pursue Jakes' point about the temporal nature of the threat, what happens to that base when a peer conducts either an air assault or a special forces raid? Again, using the SA military: throughout our bush wars fought over 1 thousand km away in ostensibly other people's territory, our home bases were and are on a posture that allows defence. Lest someone say ancient history (1975-1990), recent examples: Burundi, Central African Republic(CAR), Comoros, Congo, Sudan, not a single one of our bases has been overrun. Not for any reason but we practice over and over again the basics: all bases have to be designed with the enemy either achieving match or over. a) In the Sudan (Darfur), the rebels could not overrun any of our FOBs, despite having an advantage in numbers; b) a company sized FOB in the Congo recently repelled a battalion of the enemy dressed as friendly forces with nothing heavier than 4 x 81mm mortars and 4 x .50 cal MGs. An FOB constructed for defence, with only 3 points, beyond artillery support from sector HQ, held out till ground and air support arrived. Many misunderstand doctrine and think of all sorts of highfalutin concepts. It simply means how do you plan to fight. The Nigerian military's, at the moment, is a mystery. Both to outside observers and to those of your officers with whom I've interacted. 6 Likes |

![]() What assumptions did i jump to? Those were pics of BIR, and i point out that the BIR are specialized units, aren't they? And what if they are 3,000 strong? How hard is it to kit 3,000 men, seriously? And your pic of actual Cameroonian soldiers means? What battle zone was that taken from? How many of them were deployed to that battle zone? a few hundred? Unless you are new here, i think we've all seen regular NA troops very well kitted in battle as well. Why are some of you guys bent on belittling our troops? When Cameroon have tens of thousands of troops to kit and feed, let me know and show us pics of how they kit them in ongoing battle, actual battle, not chasing around guys with machetes in the woods . fabselad: 6 Likes |

AlhajiYoung: IMO, they should be with your army aviation! Not the NAF-in an aircav or similar specialist unit like our own 50 aircav. Developing doctrine and calling support without inter service rivalry is thus non existent. FYI,in Korea it often took 12-24 hrs for the USAF to respond to urgent CAS calls! That's why they ,the USMC, developed their own tacair. 2 Likes |

One puzzle I'm yet to unravel is how most American soldiers with heavy kits/body armour which even limits agility, still pile up casualties. One is left to wonder what's the essence of those heavy gear(atimes are up to 50pounds) if they're not keeping the soldiers save putting into cognizance the rounds being fired by Talibans(Ak 46). Korengal/restrespo and only the dead, are battlefield documentaries that are eye-openers to the uncertainty, fear and even confusion in the battlefield. |
