I don't know much about military matters, but shouldn't the soldier with the dog be in the front of the team? you know, with the dog more in the front of the troops instead of in the rear, it's kind of useless if the canine is in the rear no?

I depend on how the dog handler wants it and the situation they are operating in. If there are IEDs, then they will most likely be place in the front.

What-you-on-about?
TFDC pic I didn't mean to post. Danger of posting from a mobile. Hahah.

oooopps!!

Proposed upgrades for the Rooivalk Mk2 perhaps?

The MIG 29MST with it's price point would make a good buy.

Jimi24:


I am sure you dont have NAF strategic plan. All copies online have key areas blotted out. There are proposed acquisitions not even published

However I suspect MIG 29MST more possible than SU-3X and Yaks are sure as replacement for Alpha jets.

Rugby! Only sport real men play!
My cousin is a ref - sadly, a knee injury ended his playing career, after attaining provincial colours - and his favourite fixture is Kenya vs Uganda!
3 Saffas play for Japan and that might explain the jitters!

Personally, I was more disheartened by the Wales game than Japan. Weather report for the weekend encounter against the Poms - we rate the rivalry as Kiwis, Aussies then England - should favour us!

For the girly men here ignorant about this glorious sport: Rugby most approximates combat, if NCOs were ever allowed free rein, and the reason real men play it.
Cricket comes second, if officers were ever allowed to get their uniforms dirty!

Don't be! You had 40% of possession and still got the win. Maintain cool while following your game plan without giving away penalties and trust Faf and Mapimpi to do their thing.

I would like them to redesign the front of the vehicle though, I really don't like the design there. Other than that, it looks like a very nice APC.

The front grill looks like this ugly Russian Zil Karatel MRAP. Although this Russian FSB vehicle is worse.

the functionality is important and not nice looks....

ak47 dont look that nice but its still very effective even till today....

Vikkie14:
Juggernaut. With this kind of front, it can headbutt anything.

this is what some nigerians dont see....
it was desighned to headbutt stuff....

AIRPORT SECURITY: NAF CONDUCTS COUNTER TERRORISM SIMULATION EXERCISE AT MAKIA KANO, REASSURES NIGERIANS OF ITS COMMITMENT TO INTERNAL SECURITY

In furtherance of its efforts to ensure combat readiness for effective response to security threats to Nigeria’s Airports and other critical national assets, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), today, 31 October 2019, conducted a Counter Terrorism (CT) Simulation Exercise at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA), Kano. The Exercise, codenamed ‘Exercise STEEL DOME 2’, was organized in collaboration with other security agencies at the Airport and entailed insertion and extraction of NAF Special Forces (The Panthers) within the terminal buildings to retake the Airport from terrorists. The Exercise, which would be replicated in other major airports across the country, had earlier been conducted at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja and Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos in 2016. The simulation exercise is coming barely 3 days after the successful conduct of another CT Exercise, code named ‘EXERCISE NA ZO’, along Kaduna-Birnin Gwari Road.

Speaking during the Airport Security Simulation Exercise (ASEX), the Guest of Honour (GOH), the Executive Governor of Kano State, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, disclosed that he was very impressed by the performance, zeal and foresight of the current leadership of the NAF in steering the Service towards fulfilling its mandate of protecting the territorial integrity of a united Nigeria. According to him, without any doubt, the NAF had been consistent in demonstrating the capacity to effectively and efficiently bring to bear, its combat capability to decisively deal with terrorism and banditry activities within the country and entire sub-region. Governor Ganduje noted that Kano State had continued to enjoy immense support from the NAF as well as other security agencies, which had resulted in the emergence of Kano as one of the most peaceful States in the North. The Governor particularly appreciated the NAF for the Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions and other air operations conducted over the Falgore Forest to deny armed bandits and other criminal elements the use of the place as a safe haven. He pledged that the Kano State Government would continue to build on the existing synergy with the NAF and other security agencies to sustain the relative peace and tranquility enjoyed in the State.

While congratulating the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, and his team for what he described as the “well-planned, well-coordinated and effectively executed Exercise”, Governor Ganduje lauded the innovativeness of the CAS and enjoined him to continue to build on the gains so far recorded in order to continue discharging NAF’s constitutional responsibilities creditably. He further disclosed that the State Government, on its part, had provided scanners and CCTV cameras to enhance the security of the Airport and, with these in place, had also persuaded Emirates Airlines to commence operations from MAKIA in the coming weeks.

In his opening remarks, the CAS stated that Exercise STEEL DOME 2 was aimed at testing the combat readiness of the NAF, as well as its collaboration with other airport security stakeholders, to achieve the synergy required to jointly counter terrorist attacks at the airports. He disclosed that the exercise was initially planned to hold in Port Harcourt but had to be rescheduled for Kano because of the ongoing renovation work at the Port Harcourt International Airport. He also revealed that an ASEX was being planned for the Airport at Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. According to him, the conduct of Exercise STEEL DOME 2 and other CT exercises was demonstrative of the NAF’s unflinching resolve, as a fighting force, to collaborate with sister services and other security agencies to purge the country of the menace of terrorism and insurgency. “I believe that sustaining the exercises across other major airports and other trouble spots in the country on a regular basis, would constantly put security personnel and other stakeholders in good stead to effectively counter terrorism and other security threats. To this end, the NAF is motivated to conduct more of these operational exercises in other selected parts of the country in the nearest future. This is more so, considering that our dear nation is currently experiencing a myriad of security challenges, which require us, as a fighting force, to be on top of the situation in order to ensure security of our people and our country”, he said.

Speaking further, the CAS disclosed that the NAF was not unmindful of the sacrifices made by personnel in continuously tackling security challenges, some of whom, he noted, had paid the supreme price. He assured that their sacrifices would not be in vain and the NAF would continue to forge ahead until every part of the country was safe and secured. The exercise, he said, would further boost the confidence of passengers and staff working within the airport environment. Air Marshal Abubakar therefore expressed his profound gratitude to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Muhammadu Buhari, for making tackling insecurity in the Country one of the cardinal points of his agenda as well as for providing the requisite resources for the NAF to effectively conduct its operations. He also expressed gratitude to the Executive Governor of Kano State and the Honourable Minister of Defence as well as the Chief of Defence Staff for their support towards the successful conduct of the exercise. While appreciating the goodwill of other participating security agencies and staff of MAKIA as well as the air passengers during the conduct of the exercise, the CAS used the opportunity to reassure all Nigerians that the NAF remains fully committed to the successful execution of its constitutional roles and would continue to meet its statutory responsibility of defending the territorial integrity of the Nation, whether acting singly or in concert with sister Services and other security agencies.

In his welcome address, the Chief of Training and Operations, Air Vice Marshal Oladayo Amao, noted that Exercise STEEL DOME 2, which was the third ASEX conducted by the NAF, was conceived by the CAS to improve the CT posture of the Service to effectively respond to any security threat within the airport environment. He added that the conduct of the exercise was driven by the need to reduce the vulnerabilities of airports in Nigeria and was a culmination of several weeks of training by “The Panthers” and other personnel to showcase the capability of the NAF in dealing with terror threat to the Airport.

The event also featured the conduct of operational briefing and giving of orders by the Exercise Team Leader, the Commander 013 Quick Response Group (013 QRG) Minna, Group Captain Caleb Olayera, along with his sub-unit and component commanders, which was held behind closed doors. This was followed by the execution of the operational plan, which featured airfield defence and force protection measures executed by a combination of ground-based blocking forces and Mobile Air Defence Teams (MADT) as well as an attack helicopter; insertion, by rappelling and tactical drop-off of NAF Panthers and K-9 elements; movement of teams into the terminal building as well as subsequent rescue of hostages, arrest of the suspected terrorists, extraction of the assault teams by road and evacuation of casualties as well as detection and diffusion of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) by NAF K-9 and Nigeria Police Force Explosive Ordinance Detonation (EOD) Unit.

Ewo, tell me more.

What about his previous 'deaths?' What about Shekau-how many times has he been declared 'dead' and resurfaces on AFP videos? With that mentality the official story of 911 is true:hijackers,burning fuel,melting steel etc,etc. Most official narratives are complete BS. We should be free to present counterfactual evidence though we believe what we will!

In an era of doctored images and false narratives, i hear ya.
But unlike Shekau, ISIS acknowledged the man's death, why do you keep missing that part? i mean, they released a statement about this and named a successor .

Bro, I don't know what shi***t you're on but its strong as f***k.

Regarding the second image purporting to show Russian S-400 radar display images, That is categorically false. That radar imagery was released in the wake of an accidental shoot down of a Russian il-20 coot elint aircraft by a Syrian S-200, and it was released by the Russians to show that Israeli aircraft used the il-20 as a decoy during an air strike.

You can clearly see the 4 Israeli F-16's, the il-20 and the S-200 fired by Syrian air defences.

Regarding your "non-photoshopped' collage in the first pic, I think we have already established your credibility ....or lack of.

Wow! You're right;my bad! Still doesn't detract from the fact that 90% of all official narratives are 100% B.S. Btw, who supplied ISIS 2000 new Toyota pickups in the first place?
