The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has successfully destroyed a logistics base
concealed by fleeing Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) in Sambisa. Two
fleeing terrorists were tracked by NAF Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft to the concealed location where they had
gone to retrieve some items before fighter aircraft were called-in for
strike.
The coordinated attack was carried out by a formation of
two Alpha Jet and an F-7Ni fighter aircraft while the ISR aircraft
remained overhead the target location to guide the attacking aircraft as
well as provide battle damage assessment.
The huge inferno
generated by the attack suggests that the target location was either a
fuel or ammunition dump as can be seen from the declassified footage of
the air strike.
The latest air strike is another major feat in
the renewed air effort by the NAF to neutralise the fleeing terrorists
as well as decimate their capability to regroup for attack on own
surface forces and people within the nearby communities.
