Wait! Let me get this straight, there was a gunfight for over 2hours and I'm seeing just two dead BHTs?

Reports have it we had lost 9 soldiers on that fateful evening and here we are with two dead BHTs?

Our NAF are really trying no doubt, but we must begin to see more overwhelming fire power from air, I saw some BHTs standing arounding an engulfing truck from the video, some were even strolling, these are suppose to be dead men walking. The twin-barrel GSh-23V 23mm cannon with 450 to 470 rounds of ammunition on those helos should be maximally utilized.

BHT scores

More... Vehicle seized from the attackers.

This issue of Terrorism will last for a long time if we don't secure our border. They are too porous. We need to invest a lot of money on our border if We want to know peace in this Country .

SamuelAnyawu:


How are the borders part of this insurgency issue. Is it that most of these weapons are crossing our borders into the hands of these terrorists? I need your input on this bro

bidexiii:


His right!!!!
Infact it’s a BIG ISSUE.
Our borders are too wide and porous, easy to get in and sneak out. BHT use the advantage to lunch attacks from outside borders most times.

komekn:


When we talk of humvees l don't think anybody is talking about civilian variant buy the unarmoured Humvee.

As regard 14.5mm caliber bullets and or 12.7 even our MRAP will not stop that particular calibre.

Boko and ISWAP fighters in the main have light weapon indeed 95% + of thier fighter will have the ubiquitous AK47.

So if you have armoured vehicles you have effectively mitigated against 95% of the threat against you. Then you have to find away to deal with the gun trucks, Rpg7's and IED's.

That will reduce DRASTICALLY our casualty rate in the first instance.

SamuelAnyawu:


That is their modus operandi. Can we always sit duck and await their attacks due to their kind of modus operandi?

They followed through the Marte entrance and Monguno-Maiduguri entrance that even has a gate barricade and trench.

1) Those at the gate do they have communication gadget to know if a convoy approaching is that of the Military or ISWAP?

2) Do we need an Amoured tank or maybe some MRAPS to be stationed at such a gate? They killed some soldiers and CJTF at that gate same thing they did in January this year.

3) Is it allowed for Soldiers in the barracks to come out and engage them or the Soldiers have to wait till BH gets to the barracks. Some soldiers lost their lives trying to run from the various entry points back to the barracks.

4) should we build high towers for soldiers to observe convoys coming into the town from illegal routes? In Pulka for example Civilian JTF are stationed at the top of Some abandoned communication Mast. Once they notice movements they radio the Military to start firing Artillery towards that direction.

5) Do we need Helicopters for close mop-ups to ensure we not only smoke their vehicles but also smoke their lives?

The Nigeria Security heads should please sit up. We cannot continue sitting duck and popping champagnes after repelling these bastards.

We cannot be having same number of casualties between the our well trained Military and these dirty bastards.

Weapons Cross in from Libya to ISWAP in Nigeria.
An evidence was a Suicide vehicle bomb In 2018 that was seen in Libya Months later Captured by the military in Nigeria the Exact same vehicle

Firstly, Our MRAP can stop 12.7mm. Ezugwu to be specific and I think ARA as well buh m not saying mrap should do the work of Armoured vehicles,,,jst stating the fact

Secondly, buying Humvees from US is a very bad idea, I would rather suggest locally made armoured vehicles or russian, and Chinese Armoured vehicles Cos US doesn't really support Nigeria in military terms, If its going to take them 6 years to supply us 12 tucanos while it took them just 2yrs to supply Brazil 24 tucanos..You should know they don't give a sh*t about us

Thirdly, We should also keep in mind the financial capability of the military which makes them to prioritize..I think the soldiers in northeast in general are more than 30,000 men which means we would need up to 3,000 or 6,000 vehicles depending on the capacity of the vehicle..The average cost of a decent armoured vehicle is up to $70k..

Lastly I hope you know that most of BH vehicles are Captured NA Hilux which means if you are trying to up the game of the soldiers in armour protection you might as well be uping the armour protection of BH..that may sound somehow buh it's the truth.

What I would suggest is for the army to invest in more infantry fighting vehicles that can engage BH as far 2km away thereby increasing the engagement distance between soldiers and the terrorists which limits the damage BH AK47(which you said 95% of the fighters Use) that cant go more than 400metres would cause to soldiers..

How do you think we can solve this porous border issue?

Toju200:
from what I see the equipment pass through the lake Chad region/area through Chad, Niger or Mali
First it's up to our neighbors to be on the look out cos the equipment won't just teleport into Nigeria
French military are in these countries I mentioned they have Reaper drones,mirage2000 and Rafael jets that's supposed to help Alot in this war sef
But to be sincere I haven't seen Their effectiveness at all.
We first make sure we pound the hell out of terrorist in LC then mount heavy border security ( NIS, Custom,NA) Then Drones with High loitering hours will be on ISR like Twice daily

I must admitted the military had been stingy with info, but now they realize that PR win wars, but it's unfortunate that the information release by the military has always been met with suspicion by the Nigerian media, and her citizens, BHT don't even havee to stress, drop a video and in no time it's on Sahara reporter's page, always from their 'sources' it has it's 'desired' effect because bad news sales better.
