Arise news is a Nigerian News network. It is subsidiary of Thisday newspapers/ Arise magazine media group.

Vice news is American.

BlackBaron:
I'm curious about that 'air wing ' line.
Are all the air assests ours then?

When executive outcomes was still operating they would usually buy the equipment themselves and include the cost of the items in the bill.

Assets would usually by handed over to whoever hired them in the end of the operation.... its not like you can put a hind in your handluggage on your flight home

why didn't they have it stationed here in Nigeria? The BBC reports from London, Aljazeera from Doha. It makes sense if it is stationed here back home.

You cannot imagine the feeling i would get if such a news outlet broadcats from Either Lagos, Abuja, PH or Kano.

"hello, this is Arise news live from Lagos". The same way we hear in on Aljazeera with their british accent.

All the gazelles and MI-35/24V Helicopters belong to us.
Here is a reply i got from Sipri when i questioned the under-enumeration of NAF assets.
Hello Henry,
A good example of the secrecy around arms procurement in Nigeria. We only noticed the information abut the Gazelles when the database had already been closed and was ready for publication. We have no idea how many Gazelle's Nigeria has procured and where they came from. We believe they were delivered in 2015, and my best guess is that they come from Serbia or France. Both countries have plenty of Gazelles in stock.

I guess we can't dictate to Nduka obiaghona how to run his business. I'm pretty sure plans would be underway.

I always had a feeling that the crappy gear we see our SF guys using on displays and exercises was not the stuff they use on actual deployments.

That Camouflage R5 looks awesome.

The other photos contain restricted material. Nothing we've not seen the Yanks etc fielding, but that's the SANDF for you.

Nice cool photos. The R5 looks like a totally different rifle.

Are you South-African military?

Wow nice Gatz bro,it seems like the Sandf still has a very tight grip on the R1.

Sorry for being a pain in the a** but could you atleast tell us what kind of helmet is the Recce operative wearing, that's my final request.

Those restrictions again. Suffice to say most systems are procured and evaluated; greater leeway for personal preference, provided it's mission-specific etc. I could though, tell you what was happening with that pic:
1) Mai-Mai pre-dawn attack on Alpha Company base up in Nyabiondo repelled;
2) 3 troops injured and rebels melt into the jungle;
3) QRF mobilised - 1 Oryx for medevac, 1 specially equipped for command in hot pursuit;
4) The operator in this pic was the Forward Air Controller in the command Oryx tasked with tracking the rebels in the jungle and guiding the pair of Rooivalk when they joined the fight.

By command you mean 'telstar'?

Kenya

AMisom

You're getting warm, but think temporary airborne command and control system.

Kenya has 3 of the last remaining 5 white Rhino species in the world. A rhino known as Sudan is The world's last surviving male northern white rhino

He has been given 24/7 365 protection, and his horns have been cut off for its own protection against poachers.

I just noticed the shotguns with the M4 buttstoke



Anyway, its a sad story, such a magnificent large animal, yet another species is going extict as the world watches, in about 400 years to come elephants would be studied in museums like what we do to dinosaurs now

NAF pilots defy injuries to combat B’Haram – Air chief

Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu, has said the pilots of the Nigerian Air Force have displayed a commendable degree of courage by defying gunshot wounds to carry out aerial bombardments of insurgents hideouts in the North-East.

Amosu said this during the winging ceremony of 15 fighter pilots of the Nigerian Air Force in Abuja on Tuesday.

He charged the new pilots to emulate the outstanding exploits of their counterparts involved in the counter terrorism and counter insurgency operations in the North-East.

The Air Chief described the pilots, waging the aerial component of the campaign against Boko Haram as daring, bold and intelligent.

He noted that the new pilots were left with no other option than to display the set qualities of their senior colleagues having been winged at a time the nation was faced with a challenge to tame the threat of terrorism in the North-East.

Amosu stressed that in spite of the fact that the Alpha jet pilots and their F7 counterparts sustain regular injuries during operations, it had not deterred them from going for air missions designed to dislodge the terrorists.

He said the Air Force and indeed the country were expecting the winged pilots to perform their duties in the North-East in accordance with the nation’s expectations, which had spent so much to train them.

The Air chief added, “You will therefore be required to bring your training to bear as you put in your utmost best in responding to calls of duty at all times.

“Let me quickly remind you that you have come to join a crop of pilots that have intimidating CVs.

“The pilots you are coming to meet today are very courageous, very intelligent, very bold and very daring. So, we don’t expect anything short of these attributes.

“We expect you to be very bold; we expect you to remain knowledgeable, and we expect you to be courageous.

“You have come to meet us at a time when we are fighting insurgency. Let me quickly remind you that those pilots you see out there, the Alpha Jet pilots, the F7 pilots, regularly come back with bullet wounds.

“This is not to scare you, but to tell you how courageous your predecessors are, regularly they get gunshot wounds and they still go back to the forest.”
