and you think America needs to put boots on ground to take them out. Destroyers will start launching TLAMs at Iranian radar, coastal stations, missile and rocket assets, air fields, oil reserves, government infrastructure and mobile assets.
US military doctrine relies on naval and air power( the Ghadafi approach) even China will not want to have a military standoff with US. I think it's only Russia that will stand toe to toe with America. That country is not called the most powerful for nothing, they're insanely powerful. Saudi will happily fund the war in whatever capacity they can but surely they will open all their base for America to operate from. Is it not Iran that Saddam Hussein dealt with?
And how will the Destroyers launch their TLAMs when Magrav would have disabled & rendered their "Ageis Targeting System" useless?
And how will the Destroyers launch their TLAMs when Magrav would have disabled & rendered their "Ageis Targeting System" useless?
issorite that was how Ghadafi and Saddam felt invisible because they felt they've stocked enough Russian war/missiles today the rest they say is history.
Iran know they can't in anyway withstand America's super firepower, the blockade will be terrible. They want to see if the US will be forced to negotiate with them just like North Korea did.
but unfortunately, the US have being finding excuse to invade and loot their resources ever since they took over the US embassy. Trump with his business man mentality is ever ready to give the green light for an all out strike once he has accessed all parameters (especially the oil).
PS: las las Nigeria will benefit of the US attacks Iran because oil might hit a whooping $200/barrel

There was a disagreement between soldiers and policemen while Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo was inaugurating some projects in Maiduguri, Borno state capital, on Tuesday.
The vice-president visited Borno to inaugurate some of the projects executed by the outgoing istration of Kashim Shettima.
Among the projects were schools, GSM Center and facilities for displaced children in the state.
However, while the vice-president, Kashim Shettima, the governor and Usman Durkwa, the deputy governor, were inaugurating a school along Bukumkutu road in the state capital, security operatives attached to them disagreed in public.
Confusion broke out after Mike Alechenu, garrison commander, operation Lafiya Dole, prevented the vehicles attached to Durkwa to the convoy of other dignitaries.
As the lead vehicle in the convoy of Durkwa attempted to move, Alechenu used a stick to smash its windscreen.
He also used the stick to hit the driver of the white Hilux van conveying security operatives before ordering his men to deflate the tyres of any of the deputy governor’s vehicles that attempted to “move an inch”.
Soldiers were seen attaching knives to their Ak-47 riffles in order to comply with directives of their commander.
Alechennu also threatened to handcuff the aide-de-camp of Durkwa, an assistant superintendent of police (ASP), who had appealed for calm.
“This is a matter of security, you don’t tell me what to do. I’ll bundle and handcuff you if you move an inch from this place,” he warned.
Consequently, junior police officers blocked the road in protest.
“You are here trying to intimidate us when you are running away from your responsibility of fighting Boko Haram,” an angry police officer said.
It took the intervention of some operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) for the situation to be brought under control.
Sizzorkay:
lol, regardless of which it is, wrong is wrong... a guy like that shouldn't be in uniform or any capacity in Govt serving people. (if what's written there is true that is)
Wat re u saying oga,
Who says it is not wrong, posting that here is as useless as human poo, if he is really concerned about the unprofessional act of the soldier, why cant he go to the nigerian army barrack to complain or post it on the Nigerian army headquarters social media page.
ugo4u: Like play like play the US is inching towards war with Iran, as of today British troops has ed them in the military exercise in the Arabian sea. The question now is, what gives Iran so much confidence to stand against the military might of US? is this not madness?
Saudi and Israel are indirectly pushing US to annihilate Iran. Last year alone US spent over $600bn(madness) on defense alone, can somebody tell the Mullahs in Iran that they're no match for US because in all its the poor masses that will suffer the catasclysmic devastation.
Never happen! Iran is too strong-they have supersonic Ashm specifically designed to kill super carriers like the Onyx SS N26,heavy weight average 3 tons at Mach 2+ ,fire and forget sea skimmers and the Gulf is simply too narrow to manouvre huge 1000 ft long 'bird farms,' especially in an attacks with less than 60 seconds warning.
IIRC,the Iranians even have their own versions. Frankly,ishyt has changed for the Chosenites-the US may even go to war against them and their proxies to preserve peace.

I'm sorry but you're not making any sense.
I just gave you some incontrovertible proofs on how Iran hacked & commandeered Amerika's useless drones twice and you're still comparing Iran to Libya?
Oh Satan! Iran wants to see if the US will be forced to negotiate with them just like North Korea did? How?
Dude, It was Trump that canceled & pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal (JOA).

1. The financial cost of a campaign against Iran will be humongous, even with the Saudis sponsorship.
2. Such a war would end in a pyrrhic victory for the US, if a victory is secured at all. Yes,the US would eventually need boots on ground,and they will end up losing men in droves.
3. If by some freak twist of fate,the US manages to secure a victory,the fallout from the collapse of Iran would push the middle East into full blown chaos. With Iranian influence eradicated, jihadist groups and militant organizations will be running haywire all over the place. Migration into Europe will more than quadruple,further distabilizing the Eurasian continent and leading to internal political crisis within European states,driven by migration issues.
4. Iran has a military agreement with Russia, with Russian backing,Iran can probably withstand an armed conflict against the US.
5. A war against Iran may be the catalyst that leads to the end of the 2nd Peace that has lasted over 70 years. With the US distracted by a war in the middle East, rivals nations may use the opportunity to open other frontiers of conflict. Especially in red zones such as the South China Sea, Eastern Europe and the Korean peninsula.
In short, no one wants a war between the US and Iran. Not even the US want that.

Military evacuates another Borno community By Uthman Abubakar, Maiduguri |
Published Date May 22, 2019 5:52 AM
The military yesterday commenced the evacuation of the residents of Sabongari, Damboa Local Government Area, Borno State to IDP camps in Damboa. Sabongari is 34 kilometres from Damboa on the 100-kilometre Damboa-Biu Road.
Maj. Gen. Benson Akinroluyo, the Theatre Commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, confirmed the evacuation to newsmen on phone. He, however, did not explain whether this was part of a military operation against Boko Haram in that axis. No separate source would also say whether the evacuation was part of such operation. As of the time of filing this report, about 20 truck-loads of the community residents had, according to impeccable sources, arrived Damboa in the first batch of the evacuation which commenced this morning. The sources said women evacuees and children were crying as they left their homes and other articles they could carry along in a hurry as they left. It could be recalled that early last April, Jakana community, 20 kilometres from Maiduguri along Maiduguri-Damaturu road was evacuated to pave way for military operation against Boko Haram in that axis of the state.
Sadam Hussein didn't deal with Iran. Iraq with all the they got and a more powerful military invaded Iran. Even though his military had an advantage cause they attacked first, his army was kicked out of all Iranian territory in 1982. in fact he was the one that was begging for the war to end which Ayatollah was rejecting.
Iraq was ed by all the Arabs country, NATO,USA and USSR, with all that they struggled against an Iranian military that's not as powerful as it is now.
I'm sure the Iranians are not stupid, they won't attack the USA first, if the USA attack them, the war won't end in Iran. I expect Iran to order Hezbollah to attack Israel, and Iran will also send ballistic missiles to UAE and Saudi Arabia, those two country should be within the Iranian missile range.
And I see the USA fighting alone, I don't think NATO will them in the war.
Trump has no excuse from backing out of that deal, trump is just Netayanhu boy.

Yes... this war aint a good idea, especially for the US...As long as US attacks first, they may be seen as the war mongers and countries who already hate them will back Iran... And if care is not taken ww3 begins kenan
And if us succeed in distabilizing Iran, the consequences will be unimaginable, terrorist will increase three times of what it is now... The US may re experience times three of 911.. and as for Nigeria, it may affect us negatively... With more terrorist coming down to fight....
Some countries already see USA as oppressors.

which nation contributes the largest troops to NATO?
Where do you keep Israel and the UK??
Iran won't be stupid enough to attack the United State, trump has state it repeatedly that he doesn't want a war with Iran, but the U.S won't fail to attack if Iran try's anything funny
I read earlier someone talking about new weapons developed by the Iranians that person probably thinks the U.S doesn't update it's Arsenal
Iran will be severely dealt with all its major infrastructure destroyed, it's economy it's military all destroyed.
The highest Russia can do is supply arms to Iran, any direct confrontation leads to ww3.

Iran won't attack the USA, and the USA won't attack Iran. If there is war, the whole gulf states including Israel will be affected. Thousands or millions of people will die.
Not only Persians will die, American soldiers,Jews, Arabs will all be affected. It will also cost the USA billions of dollars. So I am so sure none of those countries want this to happen except Netayanhu.

Trust me, those you call "Mullahs in Iran" will give the Amerikan bastards a run for their money the day satan pushes them to invade Iran - because the Persians have not been sleeping since General Wesley Clark (Former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO) exposed the five-year campaign plan to take out 7 Countries in the Middle East - beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off with Iran.
I wanted to drop a submission initially but after giving it some thoughts, the social Darwinist in me would rather they stay misinformed.
Several assholes who obviously (from their comments) were still in primary & secondary schools in 2006 when Hezbollah disgraced & humiliated Israel got me really really pissed & irritated. They found it difficult to comprehend how only one Hezbollah brigade of 3,000 fighters could take 30,000 troops of their "blessed chosen people" to the cleaners.
A simple google search could have updated their propaganda-filled craniums - but no, they just chose to display their ignorance for the world to see.
The same Iran that single-handedly hacked & commandeered the Amerikan RQ-170 Sentinel stealth drone in 2011 - and then reverse-engineered it to produce hundreds of drones (called Thunderbolts) for themselves.
Does that look like a Country Amerika can intimidate or defeat in war?
Have the bastards arguing against Iran heard about the Magrav Technology?
Have they read or heard of Mehran Keshe?
Have they read Mehran Keshe's letter to Barrack Obama?
Ok, Let me paste it here once again in case you haven't read it.
Your Excellency President Obama,
We offer you a path towards real world peace through the development of this new technology for the whole human race.
I invite you to a direct presentation of our technology to you and your cabinet, to be given on neutral ground where the President of Iran could also be present and where no one betrays anyone else, so that we can all understand the fundamental change that is about to be brought to mankind. Then let us talk about genuine world peace.
As I said in my Sunday interview in Los Angeles, let us convert the military factories of the US to provide resources for a US space organization, so that the tools of war become the craft of universal peace.
The aircraft carriers of the US will become nothing but floating bathtubs if our Magrav’s technology is used effectively, and the runways full of F16s and 18s and so on will be nothing but runway museums of iron birds, as these craft will not be able to fly if their electronic systems are once touched by Magrav’s space technology. These crafts and battleships would have to be rewired from A to Z before they could ever operate again.
President Obama, we invite you to understand this change and to let us show you the technology that is bringing it about. Then we invite you to the table of world peace.
Please sign a decree for genuine peace and not a gagging order for science and technology, which your people understand fully what we have developed as they try to protect the pride of your nation.
This is not a question of the pride of one group or country, but pride for all of us in the advancement of the human race to new levels of understanding of the universal order of creation, in which we each have our place.
Your Ambassador and Consul in Belgium have direct access to me from our previous talks and correspondence with them and would on any communication.
With kindest regards from a peace-loving man who has developed this powerful technology for the good of mankind.”
The emboldened statement is what will happen to all Amerikan & NATO war machinery if Trump dares Iran.
And who are the Amerikan soldiers that will carry guns & go up against the Persians? These burger-eating bastards that were arrested & humiliated by the IRGC off the coast of Iran in 2016?
See the attached images of how their battle-tested "Amerikan Marines/Sailors" were crying live on T.V
One of them was even made to wear a head-scarf.
Mehran Keshe has already given the Magrav Technology to all the "axis of resistance" which is currently being used to war-game & disable Amerikan Aircraft Carriers & destroyers in preparation for what is coming.
How many times did you read about Amerikan ships colliding with Cargo vessels?
USS John S. McCain collided with a tanker near Singapore
USS Fitzgerald collided with a Philippine merchant vessel in Japan
Amerika is just a paper-tiger living on past glory & propaganda.
Let Trump crosses his boundary, and we will send all of you back to the 6th Century.
Seen the last vid? I saw at least 2 249s and 3 links plus M 4s. They simply strayed onto Iranian territory-REALLY!? Once you stop accepting MSM reports you realise the Anglo Zionists have subjected Iran to enormous,ENORMOUS provocations over the years.

yeah you made a valid point there, Israel has been looking for an opportunity to srike Iran's nuclear plant and destroy it militarily
bro, i don't know you, but don't ever stop, i dont know what you have written in the past,... but don't ever stop ...
write what you want to write.
the bullying in this thread is something else. i haven't been here for some months now (for the same bullying and insults - especially when you don't follow the general narrative)
this week i got into the thread and read previous posts. i was lost for words. too much bitterness and insults for no reason whatsoever.
shutting people down when you say something outside the safe approved topics.
for instance (in your case) : this thread is called "battlefield discussion of AFRICAN military". you (babaowen) just talked about Nigerian army and police issue and someone wants to shut you down. but for the past 2 pages everyone has been talking about AMERICA and IRAN fighting an imaginary war. AMERICA AND IRAN. but when you mention NIGERIAN ARMY in a way they dont like - boom! everyone attacks you!!!
Trust me, those you call "Mullahs in Iran" will give the Amerikan bastards a run for their money the day satan pushes them to invade Iran - because the Persians have not been sleeping since General Wesley Clark (Former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO) exposed the five-year campaign plan to take out 7 Countries in the Middle East - beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off with Iran.

Forgot to mention earlier-as I mentioned military academies regularly war game;a much misunderstood exercise by fan girls in this noisy monkey house. Guess the results of the USN/Iran war game in the Persian Gulf done when the US didn't even factor in the many Iranians Ashms and only high speed suicide motor boats?
American officers have acknowledged that they have been studying anew the lessons from a startling simulation conducted in August 2002. In that war game, the Blue Team navy, representing the United States, lost 16 major warships — an aircraft carrier, cruisers and amphibious vessels — when they were sunk to the bottom of the Persian Gulf in an attack that included swarming tactics by enemy speedboats.
“The sheer numbers involved overloaded their ability, both mentally and electronically, to handle the attack,” said Lt. Gen. Paul K. Van Riper, a retired Marine Corps officer who served in the war game as commander of a Red Team force representing an unnamed Persian Gulf military. “The whole thing was over in 5, maybe 10 minutes.”
The OPFOR commander was USMC Lt Gen Paul van Riper-look at that ribbon rack! He was a 41-year veteran, both enlisted and commissioned, serving everywhere from Vietnam to Desert Storm. Van Riper attended the Marine Corps Amphibious Warfare School, The College of Naval Command and Staff, Army War College, and the Army's Airborne and Ranger Schools.
On the 'net we all have opinions but when guys like this give theirs we should really listen.
discussing about the army commander harassing a deputy governor in a war ravaged state like Borno is a legitimate discussion in this thread.
the garrison commander said (in his own words) "This is a matter of security[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font], you don’t tell me what to do. I’ll bundle and handcuff you if you move an inch from this place"
there is obviously a legitimate reason based on intelligence why he has made such statement to the Deputy Governors aides, with respect to the security of the Vice President and State Governor.
THIS IS A LEGITIMATE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION IN THIS THREAD!!!!
BabaOwen and any other person with dissenting views, don't let anybody shut you down - online or offline. Nobody commenting here owns Nairaland. Nobody!!!!
God bless the Nigerian Military.
by the way; theres the propaganda video recently released of terrorists interviewing then shooting Nigerian soldiers (navy and army). May their selfless souls rest in peace, may God give their families the strength to bear their loss and most importantly MAY THERE RISE A YOUNG GENERATION OF NIGERIANS WHO ARE NOT SYCOPHANTS (LIKE WE SEE A LOT OF THEM ON THIS THREAD) AND ARE BOLD TO DEMAND ABILITY FROM THEIR GOVERNMENT CONCERNING THE WELFARE OF NIGERIANS CIVIL AND MILITARY
