Nigerian Airforce Completes 2 Uavs (drones) And An Unmanned Jet Flight Tests by taharqa2: 8:04pm On Aug 24, 2013


Two surveillance Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) unveiled by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) in Kaduna have completed their maiden test flight yesterday.

The vehicles are to tackle insecurity through enhanced air surveillance.
The test flight took place under the close scrutiny of the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Alex Sabundu Badeh at the Nigerian Air Force Base, Kaduna.
Speaking after the flights of the UAVs and another unmanned jet, the Air chief said the UAVs are invented by the air force while 12 officers are undergoing training on how to operate and assemble the vehicles. He said to have train the 12 officers outside the country, it would have cost the air force $2million to $3million, but are training them in-country and try to develop their capabilities.
According to him, “Foreign firms are asking for millions of dollars to sell these UAVs. We can’t afford that. We have other UAVs” stressing that the air force will develop lighter UAVs. According to him, by October 2013, the NAF is going to unveil some surprising innovations and by January 2014 when the “NAF will celebrate its centennial, there will be a lot to show Nigerians.”
The twelve officers undergoing the UAV training fall within the ranks of Wing Commander and Flying Officer.

Will someone please correct and tell the Chief of Air Staff that NAF did not invent the UAVs but rather copied an existing technology ...# retardeen

there is nothing wrong in copied technology, even the US spy on other countries. Though I doubt that these drones where made here, I would say good job Nigeria.

Seconded.
I doubt if we have any ship thats capable of taking in an aircraft (no matter how small it is) that has to accelerate when taking off or decelerate when landing.
I think NNS Aradu can only take one chopper.

That is not NNS Aradu.its a US Aircraft Carrier.The Large UAV in the pics is called The Navy Sea dog.America's largest surveillance Drone.

Don't spread cheap lies,it may be in proposal for the NN to acquire such but we don't have it,though we are expecting a carrier if approved any soon.

Lol.

Aradu ko, Aradu ni!

Thats USN newest UAV, Sea/Salt Dog. And the ship is an air-craft carrier which no navy in Africa has. You can see the F-35 jet, which only USAF flies on top left hand corner of the first pix.

The NAF never mentioned aradu or an air-craft carrier.
The OP sensationalized the report.
