       Iran is currently at war, but its army has not fired a shot.
       Israel, US and Iran are currently at war,, but their armies have
       not fired a shot. What does this tell you? It tells you that WAR
       has changed. WAR has changed.
       Modern warfare is now fought from the air, and on sea, from far
       away distances.
       With cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, suicide drones, etc,,
       the Army now takes back seat in war. The Army is now at back
       seat. Hence, the need for Nigeria's Armed forces to re-assess
       and recalibrate for modern warfare.
       In modern warfare, the Air Force and Navy must take precedence.
       And develop their capabilities to full strength. The era of army
       in precedence is gone. Nigeria's defence doctrine is heavily
       focused on a powerful army. That is why soldiers are still dying
       in the North. The whole terrorist can be destroyed from the air,
       without any troops on ground.
       Nigeria must change its emphasis on powerful army. The Army is
       back seat in modern warfare. The focus should change to a
       powerful Navy and Air Force. A well equipped NAF would have
       ended terrorism years ago. But they didn't have sufficient air
       platforms from the start. Their aircrafts have increased thanks
       to terrorism, but at the cost of an early victory.
       The Air Force should be encouraged to develop Full fighting
       strength with several squadrons of jets, more Tucanos, more
       M375, more gunships, etc. Plus AWACS and a training tanker. The
       NAF shod have won this terrorism war ages ago. The Navy must
       cede its patrol duties to the coast guard, and focus on its war
       fighting capabilities. Navy shouldn't be doing coast guard
       duties. Navy should be developed for all aspects of modern
       Warfare, not patrol duties.
       War has changed. The powerful army might be useless o,, ask
       Iran. Nigeria should develop its Navy and Air Force to full
       fighting strength. Nigeria must develop and retain the
       capability to strike any nation no matter how far away. The Navy
       should aim for 3 ballistic missile submarines, as Deterrence, to
       ensure that we have the reach to fight back any adversary, plus
       gunships for rapid long range defence. Nigeria has enemies oo,
       you just don't know yet
