EXERCISE STEEL DOME

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) yesterday simulated a counter terrorist exercise at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. The exercise followed on the heels of recent terrorist attacks in some major airports around the world. The exercise was codenamed “EXERCISE STEEL DOME” meaning fortified arena, and the aim to ascertain NAF’s readiness to respond to occurrence of terrorist attack in any of the nation’s airports. The exercise scenario was based on terrorist attack on an airport, and effort to retake the airport from the terrorists and restore normalcy through insertion and extraction of Special Forces operating in conjunction with other organic security forces and organisations. The exercise objectives are to enable the NAF practice both individual and group skills in planning, coordination and execution of counter-terrorist operations, as well as understand the requirements and challenges involved in the coordination and conduct of counter terrorist operations in concert with other security agencies and organisations among others.

Meanwhile, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar has disclosed that there are plans to replicate the exercise in other major cities, such as Lagos, Kano and Port Harcourt, with international airports. Responding to questions from press men at the end of the exercise, Air Mshl Abubakar stated that “it is necessary for the NAF, in the light of the security challenges in the country, to evaluate her operational plans from time to time with a view to identifying any gaps”. This, the CAS said, was the essence of the simulating the exercise to demonstrate the capability of the NAF Special Forces element to mobilize for offensive operations at the shortest possible time in the event of any security breach.

Niaja and our funny ways

What made Nnamdi kanu and Niger Delta Avengers believe they can confront the Nigerian state in an all out war is a mystery to sane minds. I just pity any groups of people who thinks renegades and militants can match the fire power of the federal government. You all will be skinned alive. God bless our armed forces. God punish Nnamdi Kanu and biafra

Wow... . I love this.

Why the public show? Please stop inviting trouble.

Next time use spray paint gun and see how many civilians and soldiers would "die" before the rescue is successful!!

I love this

Really interesting.. obviously a serious government.

ok

Gradually we're getting there.

Can't remember when last something like this happened in Nigeria.

Watched it on Channels last night. Looked more like Child's play (police and thief stage play). We were just laughing hard. We never cease to amaze people

I always maintain we have the one of the best Armed forces in Africa, previous international assignments have proven that. Corruption reduced them to mere forces cos they were hardly 'armed'. Now they got their groove back

The video is rather funny. .still a long way to go. But with what they showed us i only pray we dont get any attack...our level of readiness is something else

Abegi! make i plug my pad dey play my COD "Call of Duty".


Nice one NA. This should be done frequently in the various terrains of the country.

You mean the musical taliban--Airforce 1?

Ghen ghen!

He he....Airforce Nollywood. .bravo

When the real shit goes down you ain't gonna see them carring those sophisticated guns (AR 15), what you will see them carring are rust, patched, welded, padded etc AK 47 guns.

Fuuucccked up leader... Go-to-hell

Air Force, wielding LAR in this era?

Avengers aint even using that shiit!

Fvck 'em niccurs!

This is the best news I have seen coming from the Nigerian Military since the new military chiefs were appointed last year.

It is good we prepare for situations like this.

God bless Nigeria!

ok

If na so e easy, make we dey wait for the real action film. This is just make belief because even on Sept 11 2001, the US airforce were carrying out military drills in the newyork airspace when the twin tower was hit by two hijacked planes
