It's a very nice movie. It has a little bit of the comedy "lone survivor" lacks.


In my opinion "Act of Valor" beats the trio of " 13 Hours", "Lone Survivor" and "American Sniper".

Act of Valor is an amazing movie I especially like the poem read at the end of the Movie.

"Live Your Life" by Tecumseh


Live your life that the fear of death can never enter you heart, cripple no one about his religion, respect others and their views, and demand that they respect yours, love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life, seek to make your life long and of service to your people, and when your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way... Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

SAAF TO TRAIN NAF PILOTS




Ten Nigerian Air Force officers are to be sent to South Africa on a one-year training course for pilots, the Nigerian Air Force has said.

Another ten will be sent to the United Kingdom, according to Chief of Training and Operations, Air Vice Marshal Ahmed Iya.

Twenty officers were selected for overseas training at the completion of their courses at the Nigerian Defence Academy and will return to improve counter-insurgency operations against Boko Haram.

Was so honoured to meet the great Tony Neophytou, designer of some fantastic weapons.

An anecdote: in 2000, at Eurosatory, Tony was informed by the Russian delegation that someone wanted to meet him, just to shake his hand. It was the legendary Mikhail Kalashnikov himself.

Pic 1: Tony with the very first NTW-20 prototype;

Pic 2: The latest NTW, taking out targets at 2.1 km;

Pic 3: The first version of the Neopup-20 PAW; and the current production model;

Pic 4: The Neostead Bullpup combat shotgun.

Those are for the Army, have you watched "Stealth"(that's for Airforce) and "Battleship"(for Navy inclined guys)?? Any recommendation(movies) you got?
Any of "Tom Clancy" movies is highly recommended.

Why is it only your defence Web that is carrying our own news. Am sure someone will soon claim it's fake news. It is even happening at a time when South Africa is sending pilots out their country for training.

“These are fresh graduates from the NDA. So what we are giving them now is basic trainings and when they come back we will assign them to other platforms based on their performance,” he said

Am sure the once going to South Africa will have to fly something close to commercial planes.

Glory hunting continues.

The problem i have with both Stealth and Battleship is, those movies are not "real". Those things don't happen in real combat, just science fiction.


The movies i previously listed come closest to actual combat.

Sure. I get your point. I've watched your " list" though.

for nigeria alpha-jets to drop GBU-12 you wont need to modify or upgrade your jet .they will drop them like any other dumb bomb after being commanded by the FLIR operator on board the Beechcraft Super King Air 350.who by the have designated the targets, the GBU-12 or any other laser bomb kit for the MARK 82 Bomb .which you can buy from several other sellers e.g israel,brazil,turkey,india will seek the target and glide towards it using laser beam riding

Sudarshan laser-guided bomb

For some low value target a laser guided rocket is more economical. even mortar or projectiles can be laser-guided. some of them don't need to modify the launching plantform,others need a little.

BRMI-90 laser-guided rocket

Bros who dey ask you the question wey you dey answer? Calm down why you dey do like say person dey attack you. It's defense web and that source have been overused here countless times we cannot determine the merit of its credibility just because the news does not go down well. To me I think no knowledge is wasted, US Marine cadets have trained in Nigeria under Nigeria Navy trainers in the past, learning is all part of the capacity building process.

anybody that have not watched "we were soldiers" should request for a ban from the Mods. What of "Hamburger hill" or flowers of war( that Chinese lone soldier deserves 100s of posthumous medals) you guys should never ignore the classics because they are pure with less cmputer graphics and effects.

The Director of Public Relations and Information (DOPRI), Captain Ayodele Famuyiwa, said in a statement on Monday that NAF is at present at the verge of inducting the Mi-35M helicopter gunship and JF-17 Thunder Fighter Ground Attack aircraft in addition to acquiring the Super Mushshack trainer aircraft.

@bidexii, seems the visit to PAC is not for photo shoot this time around.

Nothing new here, we've been expecting all of these since the past 3 years.

Super Mushak to replace the Air beetle and Diiamond trainer


Super-Tucano to replace our long serving Alpha jets


JF-17 thunder to become our primary multi-role fighter.


Nothing new here.
