Watch the video on Channels Tv carefully, after they showed the green Diamond Trainer Aircraft, which one of NAF spokeman said 'will soon be put out of service', they showed a small white Aircraft flying and later taxying on the runway.

PRIMARY FLYING TRAINING: SUPER MUSHSHAK TO REPLACE DA-40 AIRCRAFT
The Nigerian Air force signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Saheen Foundation, Pakistan Air Force (PAF) to acquire a squadron of MFI Super Mushshak aircraft that would replace the Diamond-40 aircraft currently being used for primary flying training at the 301 Flying Training School (301 FTS), Kaduna. The decision to acquire the Super Mushshak was informed by the unsuitability of the Diamond aircraft for aerobatics which is a critical aspect of military pilot training. The MoU is one of the fallouts of an earlier visit to Pakistan by the Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, to undertake firsthand assessment of possible technology and platform that can be acquired to enhance the current operational status of the NAF. The CAS, while re-emphasising the importance of primary flying in the NAF, pointed out that it is important for every student pilot to be exposed to aerobatics, especially at the primary flying training stage, regardless of their flying career projections. This, he said, would broaden their skills and enhance their flying proficiency on the subsequent platforms. Air Mshl Abubakar noted that the DA-40 aircraft, currently employed for primary flying training in the NAF, is not designed for aerobatics hence the demand for a trainer aircraft that is more suitable for such role. Besides, the CAS stated that the number of the DA-40 aircraft available is not sufficient to train the 90 student pilots scheduled to undergo initial pilot training for year 2016 at the 301 FTS, Kaduna. Built by Pakistan Aeronautical Complex, the Super Mushshak is an upgraded version of the MFI-17 Mushshak with an advanced 260hp engine, electrical instruments, dual flight control systems and a bendix fuel injection system. Unlike the DA-4O, the Super Mushshak meets the modern requirements in primary and instrument flying with the US FAR 23.

Russian BTR "Bummerang" is spotting a new look.

Bros Weytin happen na.

Na you go produce the missile and other components for them?

Installing a missile will need many other things to be incorporated in the ship which am very sure they didn't budget for and to be sincere, we don't have the technology yet.

I dont think the first one is Bumerang... it looks like the Russio-Franco joint project "Atom" with the turret they designed for Bumerang. You can tell by the front two wheels (hull forms a perfect T shape)

Obviously, Bumerang borrows allot of its design from "Atom"

These two pictures are message carriers. They are so powerful that only the insightful will spot the power they wield.
One would think they are movie posters.

Great video of the highlights of "Navy Week"

SANDF seems to finally be turning the corner of their PR campaign... really high production value in this video

Henry240:


No point depending on the SANDF when there are already tons of dedicated military photographers and film-makers with front row access to your military.

Patchesagain:


SANDF needs to do its own advertising
