Amir Buba Danfulani and his four deputies are right now in another realm of existence begging for a second chance, after they were killed by a bomb with a 500 pound warhead in the Tumbuns and Sambisa axis.

Amir Buba Danfulani was ISWAPS Chief Indoctrinator, influencing fulanis and herdesmen to join the group. He was also what the Soviets called Zampolit. Deploying spies to villages to ensure the civilian population wasnt cooperating with Nigerian forces.

A single GBU-12 (500Ib)..

paveway laser guided bomb cost $25,000. That's why they are used sparingly. A typical A-29 weapons package is usually the Hydra 7 unguided rockets. But Amir Buba Danfulani was a high profile target.
In past, airstrikes at a particular camp set off alarm bells in other camps,

giving other fighters the cue to hunker down. This time around airstrikes were delayed until ISR could pinpoint the exact location of ISWAP training camps in Tunbun Kaiyowa and Allura where intelligence revealed that Dan Fulani and his deputies were in the process of training

..fighters. With the targets verified a wave of A-29s carried out airstrikes on the Kaiyiowa camps simultaneously at different locations from standoff distances with GBU-12 LGBs that do not have rocket motors. Denying the fighters any forewarning until impact.

Simultaneously a wave of Alpha jets and L-39• launched rocket and attacks on the Tunbun Alurra camps. They probably heard it coming because a few fighters were able to flee to safety in time........or so they thought, because they ran straight into Mi-35 helicopter gunships

The camps were used by ISWAP for firing projectiles against Nigerian Army locations in Mallam Fatori. The surgical airstrike degraded ISWAPs capabilities to launch future attacks on troops and friendly location while ensuring the success of ongoing operations.

The NAF has mastered the art of distributes lethality and network centric attacks. Remember months back a similar operation was conducted at Parisu and Njimia within Sambisa Forest, where three different aircraft types for specific purposes bombarded the targets.
