Kalapizim:Why will a Major stand in front of a General?. |

Kalapizim:Don't forget most of the coups in Nigeria was carried out by middle level officers(Majors), never underestimate the capabilities of a determined/disgruntled individual irrespective of his/her rank. The coups is similar to that of Orkar's coup which was characterized by poor planning and poor execution. 1 Like |

ugo4u: They where all errand boys. Most coup are planned by top military officers but executed by junior military officers. |

EVarn:Who then deployed all those military vehicles on the streets of Gabon. I think he had the backing of few high ranks who immediately dropped the moment things went POOF |

sconp:True. |

sconp: It's a norm............ ![]() Once the coup goes wrong most of these top ranking officers flees to other neighbouring countries together with some top politicians who are also involved. |

They should come to Nigeria and master the art of Coup plotting. The NA should have an archive/manual for Coup. PS: That was when "men" with guts were in the military. One thing about coup is either you succeed or fail. The former may be bloodless, but the latter will be otherwise. 1 Like |

ugo4u:Nigeria that has first class degree in coup plotting. Where a tight cabal of military officers(Abacha, Babangida, Al-Mustapha etc) were all involved in all the coups that happened since 1970. Plotting behind the scene. |

Ibrahimanis:The Turkish underworld is vast, the black market arms racketeering is so prolific that even government officials engage in it. The Turkish government also has very weak regulation of its arms industry. It is not surprising that light weapons and small arms from Turkey always find their way everywhere. 3 Likes |

EVarn: Honestly I av read a lot about Turkish illegal fire arms smuggled through Lybian borders and Egypt-Sanai border. There government should do more to check these menace, these firearms are finding there ways to the middle east and African conflicts arrange. |

EVarn: On a serious note , do u think it is possible to move large consignments of weapons in containers / load them / prepare necessary papers etc etc without the knowledge of or alerting the Intel etc of the said country ? Given that there is high possibility that the very same weapons can end up with local adversaries like ku.ds etc within the country or outside etc etc Don't answer it , just think 2 Likes |

jakeporeshenko: Apart from the clear video, the red-sqaure lazed on each terrorist & there technicals movement are what I don't see on previous NAF drone footage in the past years. Only in western movies like; "Eye in the Sky"... The NAF needs more night/all weather assets and precision guided capabilities. 2 Likes |

nemesis8u: I totally disagree with you on these nemesis8u, let's figure these out ? Last year in Nigeria in more than 4 ovvasion piles of shotguns & cartridge loaded in containers where seized by the Nigerian customs. Same type of firearms where seized from smugglers or terrorists in Egypt and Lybian . Not one or two occasions. I think there is a new organized syndicate behind all these. They are finding there ways into conflict areas. The last report I heard on the investigation of those importing these firearms into Nigeria was; the company who's name was used in importing these firearm was in Abuja, getting to the address it turned out to be a residential apartment. Few arrest where made and that's the last we heard about it. |

@bidexiii never said anything explicitly , So nothing there to disagree with one can only offer possibilities, so who can know definitely ? Anyways Syndicates or smugglers etc etc don't operate in isolation Underworld / crime syndicates r more often than not fronts or foot soldiers or hirelings etc for anybody one can dream of We don't factor in things into out calculations about which we don't know about isn't it ? And so.. ![]()

LTGEN:you know the only thing that came to my mind watching this in real time, i simply wished this ATR -42 ISR platform would morph into a C-130 spectre gunship, would you imagine the damage of having an offensive ISR platform while calling in co-ordinates for additional aircrafts would be just a hobby, so annoying we cant even obtain basic platforms and am drooling over a dream that would never come true. I know alenia of Italy can modify the g22 as a gunship if am correct. Just damn 1 Like |

nemesis8u:After "thinking" on this, I decided to post a reply, if only for the sake of those who may find these information interesting. You may pretend not to have it in India, but there is something called the black market. Basically, it consists of a group of syndicates, both governmental and non-governmental. Now,it is very possible for large caches of small arms and light weapons to be transported from one country to another if there are interest groups in both countries powerful enough to side-step the system. Countries like Turkey, Pakistan, South Africa and co, have very strong black market syndicates, with links to government officials who cloak their activities from detection. Thousand of turk weapons flood the black market every year, without the Turkish government sanctioning it. It is not because of some complex conspiracy, it is simply weak arms regulations and corruption of highly placed government officials. |
