Two U.S. service members have been killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan, According to the statement from the U.S. forces in Afghanistan.



The statement says Wednesday that the cause of the crash is under investigation, however preliminary reports do not indicate it was caused by enemy fire.



It added further that in accordance with U.S. Department of Defense policy, the names of the service members killed in action are being withheld until 24 hours after notification of next of kin is complete.



The Afghan Taliban claimed responsibility for downing the helicopter, which it said crashed in Logar province south of the capital Kabul.

Xbee007:

They got too comfortable and forgot they could be attack at any moment. And when will we learn to build base properly in this part of the world?

The attack was on 1st Nov. ISIS online bots (Amaq) are reposting and promoting the attack, calling their brethren in Syria and Iraq to remain firm in their resolve and that base right there is a fortress.

Old pics and vids.

Addressing Principal Staff Officers, Flag Officers Commanding and Commanders of autonomous naval commands, Vice Admiral Ibas directed these units to work closely with zonal offices of prosecuting agencies and inform the Naval Headquarters and headquarters of such agencies of the handing over process. The CNS commended the senior commanders for the efforts being made to ensure that the nation’s maritime environment is safe, recalling the numerous operations and exercises conducted so far to achieve this feat. As we are approaching the end of the year, Vice Admiral Ibas charged the Commanders to ensure that activities of criminals are curtailed and efforts are intensified by the NN to firmly control the maritime environment.

Notwithstanding the achievements of the Service thus far, the CNS also directed the Commanders to ensure that officers and ratings uphold the core values of the Navy which are professionalism, integrity and teamwork. He also tasked the Commanders to lead by example, emphasize collective ownership of the Service and ensure the sanctity of the Service. He informed that the Navy was expecting new ships in year 2020 and called for proper and positive attitude towards the management of these new assets.

NAF DECORATES RECENTLY PROMOTED SENIOR OFFICERS, AS CAS CHARGES THEM TO REDEDICATE THEMSELVES TO SERVICE TO THE NATION

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) today, 21 November 2019, decorated 13 Air Commodores and 35 Group Captains, who were recently promoted to the next higher ranks of Air Vice Marshal and Air Commodore by the Air Force Council. The decoration ceremony, which took place at the Headquarters NAF Abuja, was witnessed by a large turnout of senior officers, both serving and retired, as well as family members and friends. While decorating the senior officers, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, charged them to rededicate themselves to the service of Nigeria as they prepare for higher challenges. According to him, “in the race to add value to the society and secure communities, there should be no finishing line”. “Your promotion will cost tax payers additional resources and this must translate to additional security for Nigeria and Nigerians", he added.

Air Marshal Abubakar reiterated that the promotion of the senior officers was premised on their past excellent performances and the resolve of the Service to constantly reward excellence. The CAS noted further that the increasingly complex and challenging security environment requires the Service to put forward its very best at all times. He therefore, stated that promotion could no longer be business as usual. According to him, “while time on rank would, understandably, continue to be central, factors such as merit, productivity, establishment vacancy, deployability and, to some extent, geographical spread have combined to raise the bar and make the race even more competitive”, he said.

The CAS explained further that, in the discharge of military responsibilities, the demands on members of the Armed Forces are unique, requiring, in some instances. Thus, he said it is very important that the Services are led by persons of exceptional leadership qualities so as to eliminate or minimize costly mistakes during operations, which is even higher in the case of the Air Force given the complex nature of air operations. He went further to specially applaud the spouses and family members of the newly promoted senior officers, while imploring them to sustain the support they have been giving to enable them excel in their new, higher responsibilities. He tasked the newly promoted officers to brace up for the challenges ahead especially in the collective resolve to regenerate the NAF and ensure a secured Nigeria. He urged them to continue to apply their skills, experience, commitment and time when and wherever demanded.

While highlighting the progress made in repositioning the Service into a highly professional and disciplined force over the last 4 years, Air Marshal Abubakar disclosed that, through the priority attention given to human capacity development, the Service has witnessed unprecedented improvement in aircraft serviceability rate across all NAF platforms. He said notable achievements had also been made in the area of Research and Development, such as the production of the diaphragm for the Mi-35P helicopter and L39ZA aircraft, amongst many other breakthroughs. Other areas where significant value had been added, he said, were in the expansion of the NAF Regiment Speciality, with the Force Protection in Complex Air and Ground Environment (FP-CAGE) and Special Forces training to equip the personnel with the skills required to adequately protect NAF bases and other critical national assets. In terms of flying training, the CAS noted that over 100 pilots had been winged in the last 4 years, with the NAF now boasting of a total of 6 female pilots. Air Marshal Abubakar observed that all the achievements would not have been possible without the support of the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Muhammadu Buhari. He therefore pledged the commitment of the Service to Mr President’s vision of a secure and prosperous Nation.

Earlier in his welcome remarks, the Chief of Administration (COA), Air Vice Marshal Kingsley Lar, noted that the occasion was another milestone in the career development of the senior officers, who were able to scale through the painstaking screening process as well as the approval by the Air Force Council. He noted that elevation comes with higher responsibilities and therefore enjoined the newly decorated officers to be more diligent, committed and accountable in the discharge of their duties as well as in their interactions with their professional colleagues and civilians.

Relax bro all I'm saying is if we are going to call US soldiers tools, then we can just as well call almost every regional power Tools as well.

Biafra was an example.

If the US are tools then by definition so are the bottom countries

Russia, China, Japan, UK, USA, India, South Africa, Nigeria, Germany, Ethiopia ect ect ect

It has always been in the inventory of the Navy for quite a while, but was used for Search and Rescue (SAR). The only difference is that the colours have been changed.

kikuyu1:


Budget being the major determinant I'd have gone for 5 or 6 rebuilt Su 25s for that price.

100% correct.

Jimi24:


Aside from this, the JF17 design is short legged in terms of distance. The Chinese specific requirements being a very large country cannot be met by this aircraft but most Arab and African countries not interested in geographic power projection find it useful but no less potent. The LCA is also short legged and it is an Indian development. Short of the Russian SU 30MKI and more recently the Rafale, India does not have any heavy weight combat aircraft to speak off. Pakistan is countering with ageing F 16s but JF 17s Block 2 and 3 are being prepared as potent answers to SUs. So where's this idea about being cheap equala being weak coming from?

see wetin dz one dey talk, so SU30 nah light or medium weight

JF 17 against SU30
SU 27 will tear any JF 17 to pieces not to talk of SU 30

seankafor:
u wan tell me say if a useless pilot is on the wheels on su 30 whatever, even an RPG won't shoot it down?

do you think every country joke with the life of their citizens like the Nigerian government a useless pilot can not fly the Indian air force SU 30.

Oh of course, you must have tried creating one but discovered it ain't easy to get constant customers...
Sir, You are one of many problems of Nigeria... Doing the right thing at the wrong time and place and most likely preaching to the wrong set of people.
