#Nigeria: ISWA released images from their attack in #Mainok against the NA. It was rather dramatic, with multiple NA seen dead. ISWA captured and burned multiple vehicles as well as the base.

1/
This included: 1x T-55 tank, 1x Ukrainian BTR-4EN, and 2x Isotrex Legion MRAP already seen. Only the MRAP were kept by ISIS, the rest were stripped and burned.

2/
ISIS also captured 6 Motorbikes, 3 NA pickups, and a Rapid Response Squad (I believe) Pickup also. Fairly large.

3/
Not to mention the weapons: DShKM, 4x Bulgarian MG-1M, ~10 AKM/S/T56/-1, Bulgarian PG-7V and OG-7V/OGi-7MA, 60mm Mortar, 7x (O-832D/DU?) 82mm mortar bombs (Probably larger mortar unseen), and quantities of kit/ammo/magazines.

4/
This was a very unfortunate incident that involved both complex IS tactics and NA failure, which are now obviously being denied fiercely. I hope for the troops' sake things can change.

[END]
Sorry, the image here was missed by accident; here is the BTR-4EN. One of around 10 that the NA have of that particular model. It's being stripped of weapons/ammo.
