Nice question you've asked here, just noticed the post.
In these type of war we need more of MRAPs/LAV and more of IFV in wheeled and tracked variant.
But has the arm of the military tasked with securing land/border and to defend their nation from external attack and deter or attack would-be enemies. The realization of this function primarily entails the preservation of the territory, people, culture and the national security of the nation. Therefore we will need such military assets, we shouldn't wait till it happens, if we be learnt our lessons from 2009 BH uprise

where are the gatling guns, the army chief said were bought, some years back....is it audio buying?

Some people claimed they saw it on a NA documentary showned on NTA. Probably they will be used on NA air-wing, just taking a wild guess

You surely must have seen me argue about its need in the war against BH.

But still, we can't lose conventional capability because we fight a present unconventional foe

Definately it can still be fixed.

Toju200:
Hopefully it can be overhauled.Since (1) Most of our Engineers know the aircraft type
(2) The most damage was in the tail section of the Aircraft

Have you seen the structural damage on the image? Helicopters are also made of composite materials, you cant fix them like a car by just putting a patch over broken parts. An airframe is stressed extremely during each flight, even hairline cracks will finally damage the aircraft in short time if not found. (Thats why they do these X-ray inspections during their servicetimes)

RIP AW 109

NAF kills ISWAP fighters, recover four gun trucks


The Nigerian Air Force has killed scores of Islamic State West African Province terrorists in the Mallam Fatori area of Lake Chad in Borno State, and demobilised four of their gun trucks.

According to the military, the ISWAP commanders were tracked by the Air Task Force of Operation Lafiya Dole and troops of the Nigerian Army, 89 and 97 Task Force Battalions of Sector 3 during a joint operation on Wednesday.

I agree 100% however I do feel Nigeria don't have any credible conventional threats at this moment to warrant spending money on tanks!! Personally I would rather see that money spent on assets that would be better suited for battling unconventional threats..... However I would definitely advocate the purchase of 4th gen multi role fighters like the Jf17(more than 3 though) which won't only be a great conventional deterrent but will also be a great force multiplier when battling irregular forces as well.
