Honestly, we may lose many more if the Army insist on going ahead with the operation in this season without providing MRAPs and APCs for all soldiers involved. The vegetation is so high that you won't detect an ambush right in front of you.
Sadly SOS expressed his fears about this just few days ago. Check his Instagram page to see how thick and high the vegetation is.
We just want to keep on doing things the same way and expecting different results. Sadly this stupidity costs the lives of heroes.

Not even a scout helicopter to scout ahead of the column.
And to think the offensive hasn't even started

GeneralFarouq:

The army has been silent.... That's how you know the situation is really bad, anyway we are waiting for their report

SamuelAnyawu:



Major General Enenche Report will be 300 Bokoharam killed this week.

remi1444:
Is there any rule of engagement that prohibits Armed soldiers from shooting a threat like a protester holding the Nigerian flag?

GeneralFarouq:

Lol, guy u no trust them at all, he won't take it that far... Op fireball has not started.

Lurker4Long:
Let's try this again:

All these deadly ambushes are a logical consequence of the "Super Camp Strategy". Here's why:

1) Super Camps naturally lead to giving up ground to the enemy; "what you cannot patrol, you cannot control".

2) Troops based in Super Camps have more ground to cover in their patrols; making them more vulnerable to ambushes.

3) The enemy has all the time in the world to build a better intelligence picture to mount its ambushes.

4) The longer distances covered by patrols means more stress on logistics; this creates a vicious cycle as the NA ostensibly gave up its FOBs because of logs challenges.

5) More of the civilian population is left at the mercy of the enemy; more taxes, more witting and unwitting recruits, more recruits and resources etc.

Conclusion:

All of this could've been avoided. Better constructed, better defended and better supplied FOBs.
Super Camps (located on Sector HQs) could have been used to support say 5 FOBs.

LTGEN:

You see them Josh as I am being DRAGGED , the premise of my argument is what happens when SF OPERATIONS GO SPECTACTULARLY WRONG ALL OVER THE WORLD
They on the other hand including" MR NGO " have reduced it to I am comparing NIGERIAN SF TO US SF, They are also comparing body counts 600 to 5-7?
May the souls of all SF who were KIA rest in perfect peace. your watch is over .

The Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has neutralized several Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) elements and destroyed their hideouts at Tudun Wulgo and Tumbun Gini on the fringes of Lake Chad in Borno State. This was achieved through air strikes executed yesterday, 15 October 2020, as part of a new subsidiary Operation, tagged “WUTAR TABKI”, after series of aerial surveillance missions had indicated that the 2 locations, with structures and logistics items camouflaged under the dense vegetation, were being used as staging areas where some ISWAP leaders and their fighters meet to plan and launch attacks.
Accordingly, the Air Task Force dispatched a force package of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and helicopter gunships to engage the 2 locations. The attack aircraft scored devastating hits in the target areas, destroying some structures and neutralizing several of the terrorists.

The Airforce should just hold on for now and conduct a joint massive operation with the Nigeria Army.

Bombings without mop up operations will remain just a scratch on this Insurgents. We need to have boots on ground to send these guys to their creators in high numbers.

We need a joint operation fast in Northern Borno.

Tobiloba2407:


Lol, depends on the scenario ooo, if bht holds the flag, i will double tap him, if it protesters and i know there's no stampede scare, i will gas them, not into the crowd, just some meters as a warning, if the crowd is much and none violent, i will handover my firearm, keep my knife in a ready to reach position and use a public address system to address them and appeal, even beg them... if this doesn't work, tear gas, and full magazine into the air.

lol. Can you even double tap with an AK? Na two straight misses na.

hunter21:
The special anti robbery squad as outlived it's usefulness thereby leading to by missuse by operatives.
The creation of the Special anti robbery squad was a fire brigade approach adopted during the Goodluck Jonathan administration, it has served its purpose and should be disbanded
What concerns an anti robbery squad with laptops, Iphones and cybercrimes, obviously the unit has been turned into a business outfit. That is bullshit and it would not stand

Faithful007:
lol. Can you even double tap with an AK? Na two straight misses na. And if you empty your magazine in the air, what next? Just pray and get ready to be lynched.
