Deterrence bro! If tank is used effectively, it can deter terrorists from attacking an area it is deployed in. It's gun can be used to take out bokoharam's guntrucks kilometers away and save lives of soldiers. There are many different ways tanks save lives.

This is Malaminta. Operation Commander, Civilian JTF, Damboa LGA, Borno State. One of several civilians who fearlessly picked up arms and joined the military in fighting Boko Haram at the battle front. He died yesterday when the terrorists attacked Damboa. RIP.

I don't engage with caustic and vitriolic rhetoric spewed from the gutter.

Even with all that you still failed to give just one LIE.

Until you have washed your mouth of all the filth and gone back to school to learn civil behaviour, you will only have SILENCE.

You think you earned a right to civility with the repeated senseless lies you spew here?
[/b]You think you have the right to pull out shit from your anus and plaster it here? like when you said NATO declared A10 not fit for purpose till I showed you where they specifically asked for it?[b]

Or when you lied that the F35 was a CAS program when it was actually a JSF program?
You are lucky im in a good mood!!
Take your lies to a coffin shop, if you can't present the facts, shut the fvck up!!

Why do you guys subject us to these kinds of BS? You are posting rubbish and you think you are making a point.

Do you know how tanks work?. How easy are they to use against fast moving insurgents who move very close to your positions.
Have you studied the vegetation and terrain?. You think it is desert?. No it usually is not.
There are sparse forests, 6ft high sahel savanna shrubs, winding roads, hills and valleys.
The enemy has suicide bombers, the enemy holds civilians as human shields. The enemy sometimes disguises as Nigerian Army soldiers just to get close.
To load a tank, fire and reload is at least 10secs, how does that help when the terrorists dismount quickly, hide and start firing RPGs?

There are so many interesting dynamics to fighting insurgents that absurd simplification should never be made.

The Nigerian Army is buying new, ultra modern, high grade hardware but the focus is far more than Boko Haram

although I wasn't around in 1985 but whatever arsenal they must have fielded has become obsolete in today's war compared to the calibre of armour we have in our inventory now.

Am not sure drones and reconnaissance aircrafts were in existence then

Very pathetic dude he his ?

FieldMarshall06:
Please who has been to that depot recently? Can it train 4000 men at a go. Does it have that capacity, without compromising quality of trainning ?

komekn:


People use abuse to cover inability not ability, l told you to be civil, buy you are very comfortable with this level degradation.

It says something about you.

You really should know better.

The DEPOT facility can hold about 4000 to +5000 capacity at a go !
More upgrades and facilities done last two years and currently now.

FieldMarshall06:


Ok... that is satisfactory... as long as quality of trainning is not compromised.

LTGEN:

The irony of the bh INSURGENCY would cause the ARMY to expand
capacity is actually closer to 6000.
They are on their way to getting to 200,000.

5 Humanitarian Workers Kidnapped By Boko Haram Beg Federal Government Come To Their Rescue

Four humanitarian workers and a security guard, abducted by Boko Haram terrorists earlier this month, have appealled to the federal government as well as their respective organisations to intervene for their release.

This was contained in a two minutes and 37 seconds video clip released by the terrorist group on Sunday.

The video showed the humanitarian workers from Action Against Hunger, Rich International, International Rescue Committee and a staff of the State Emergency Management Agency urging the government to do something about their release.

In the video exclusively received by Daily Trust, all abductors were shown sitting on local mats begging the authorities.

"My name is Abdulrahman Babagana. “I am the camp Manager of SEMA in Monguno. “I left Monguno on our way to Maiduguri but they captured me on that day and we came to their base.

“Now I am in their hands.

“I am begging the government to rescue me from this plight. “It was June 1st we encounter them and as I am speaking, it is June 21st.

“Please, come and rescue me,” Abdulrahman begged.

AStaff of Rich International, Abdulrahman Dungus, said: “On my way going back to Monguno, we were caught by this army called the Khalifa on the 8th June.

“I am appealing to my organisation to do whatever they can to get me out of here,” he begged.

A private security guard, on his part, said: “My name is Joseph Prince. “I am a staff of Alje Security Organization.

“On my way from Maiduguri to Monguno for an official assignment on the 1st June 2020 as at 11:37am, we encountered Khalifa soldiers and they captured us and of course took us to where we are now.

“As I speak to you now, today’s date is 21st June year 2020.

“I am still in their custody.

“I am requesting that my organisation should please rescue me.

Thank you.” Ishaiku Yakubu, a staff of Action Against Hunger, an NGO in Borno State, said: “On the 8th of June 2020, on our way going back to Maiduguri from Monguno, we were caught by this army called the Khalifa.

“They brought us here and actually we don’t know where we are.

“I want to beg my organisation; Action Against Hunger, to do something about me to see how I can be released, ” he pleaded.

Another captive, Luka Filubus of International Rescue Committee, based in Monguno Local Government Are, said: “On 8th of June, I left Monguno for Maiduguri and had an encounter with Khalifa soldiers.

“They captured me and brought me to their base.

“As I am speaking with you, it’s 21st of June.

“So, I am appealing to IRC to come and rescue me from Khalifa soldiers.”

Daily Trust had reported that suspected Boko Haram insurgents abducted four persons, including three humanitarian workers and a soldier along Monguno/Maiduguri highway.

Is it just number of years of longevity or is it number years ➕ measured competence by delivering recognised KPI's (key performance indicators)

I don't want to believe that longevity in itself has become a unit for measuring competence.

komekn:


No he is not making a nonsensical proposition.

In Monguno there was one MK 3 Vickers MBT which has a fairly modern, fire control system, a laser range finder and it's 105mm gun is stabilised it can shoot on the move.

It's tracked and over the rough terrain it is probably faster than a rickety gun truck, which it can easily run over and squash.

The terrain is Sahel savanna, the Vickers MBT has higher (3 meters) elevation and obvious night and day magnification as well as thermal sights. That means all round spatial situational awareness.

It's fire rate albeit it is manual loaded is about 10-15 rpm. It's range is 5km at 2km you are talking 100% accuracy. It has a coaxial mg as well as a 12.7 mm HMG on the turret.

It's armour will protect from Rpg7's and HMG fire.

Essentially what that means that one Vickers tank has the capacity to take out 20 gun trucks and chase them down, a HE 105mm will turn a gun truck to mince meat.

So if used tactically on the move with right positioning it should be able to take out 10 gun trucks in 10 minutes or less. And clear out any foot soldiers with it's machine guns.

Boko have nothing to contend with the Vickers MBT. Even if they attempted to use a SVBIED it will not be able to get close enough before being blown away.

Using the Monguno situation it should give you in the hands of trained operatives overriding advantage.

And if you are talking Sahel savanna then the MBT wins every time. When you add supporting troops and other armoured assets Boko can not contend.
