#EQUIPOURTROOPS STAR COMMENT ON THIS WALL EQUIP OUR TROOPS French in northern Mali routed the Malian maghreb terrorists and all its Al Qaeda affiliates essentially within weeks, to date not more than 10 French soldiers have died compared to near thousand of Alqeada militants killed. The Nigerian army still uses antiquated AK47s with no optic sights, using 1970s T55 tanks, 1980s Vickers Eagle and Scorpion tanks, Light armoured vehicles like the Otokar Cobra, Streit Spartan, and has troops exposed in the back of soft skinned Toyota pick ups. All of these platforms are not fit for purpose of fighting Boko Haram. Air force Jets mainly are 3rd generation, thats 40 year old technology. Across the board we lack precision weaponry, we are outdated and if you add corruption then were out gunned. Its like somebody is still using MS Dos software, when windows was introduced near 20yearsago, thats how bad it is, Our battlefield strategy in the context of modern warfare is non-EXISTENT.
