I'm very sure that was not a rifle bullet. Even if it were to be, it won't have come from a direct shot. Helmets cannot stop rifle rounds. If an helmet were designed to stop a direct hit, the impact shock will break the neck.

I've seen where a soldier took a sniper fire to his helmet and his neck didn't break.

Pictures have leaked showing what appears to be Nigerian TB2 and operators. Months after, a ranking senator revealed Nigerian Army drone pilots were in Turkey for training.

Nobody survives a direct hit to the head no matter what you put on.

Helmets are important in war because the majority of death do not come from bullets but from shrapnel and indirect hits from ordnance (artillery, bombs, mines and co)

Contrary to public opinion, rifles are rarely used to kill successfully in war. At most are the machine guns. Rifles are most useful in ambush.

DYNAMISM OF AIR POWER EMPLOYMENT REMAINS CRITICAL TO OPERATIONAL SUCCESS- CAS

The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Oladayo Amao, has stated that lessons learnt by the Armed Forces of Nigeria from recent and ongoing operations across the country has further confirmed the dynamism of air power employment as critical to operational successes as well as meeting the safety and security aspirations of all Nigerians. He stated this earlier today, 27 September 2022, when he officially commissioned the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Air Warfare Centre and inaugurated its first course on basic air power for young officers. Air Marshal Amao also noted that air power has become a key determinant of operational effectiveness, as well as a force multiplier in all ongoing operations in the country. The CAS went on to state that the reactivation of the Air Warfare Centre perfectly aligns with his Vision for the Nigerian Air Force, tailored towards, “enhancing and sustaining critical air power capabilities required for joint force employment in pursuit of national security imperatives”, just as it tallies with 2 key drivers of his Vision, which “focuses on doctrinal development and application of air power in joint military operations” as well as “pursuit of purposeful training and human capacity development”.

On the mandate of the Centre, Air Marshal Amao stated that the Centre must seek to support the airman across the spectrum of air warfare requirements; ranging from training and operational readiness, to doctrinal and tactics development. Such support, he noted, will enhance effectiveness by giving impetus to Service-wide efforts that will translate existing materiel and human capacity into actual capabilities to fulfil air power tasks demanded by national defence and security imperatives.The CAS also charged the pioneer Commandant of the Centre, Air Vice Marshal Micheal Onyebashi and staff to prime the new institution for the highest standards and maximum impact, while ensuring that it evolves new and dynamic approaches for NAF employment of air power. This way, according to the CAS, the Centre will play a significant role in the efforts to apply the military instrument of power, so as to address the myriad of security challenges facing the nation. He also used the occasion to appreciate members of the Air Power Consult for the development of the Air Warfare Centre’s curriculum and new doctrines that cut across most combat and combat support specialties of the NAF.

Earlier, Air Vice Marshal Onyebachi had observed that recent experiences and current realities in the various theatres of operations where NAF is engaged, underscored the imperative for a purpose-built institution focused on enhancing the effective and efficient application of airpower. The situation, according to him, led to Air Marshal Amao putting together a body of officers made up of respected retired senior NAF officers known as the members of the Air Power Consult, to midwife the establishment of the re-engineered Air Warfare Centre. The commissioning of the Centre was thus a product of numerous strategic sessions and background work by the Consult, whose inputs were valuable in putting together the various curriculum for the programmes. The Commandant went on to salute the visionary leadership of the CAS, who has continued to always seek, explore and invest in every venture that would advance the impact of airpower application in the security of Nigeria.He went on to add that the Centre is designed to be a special purpose vehicle to accelerate the drive towards doctrinal enquiry, review and development as well as purposeful airpower training and overall human capacity development in the NAF. He noted also that the objective of the Basic Air Power Course is to instil in young NAFofficers a level of airmindedness that would enable them apply their primary assignment to the overall objective of the NAF. The course, according to him, is well packaged not only to inform, but to also encourage active student participation, stimulate thoughts and incentivise self-study. The desired outcome he added, is to produce airpower practitioners who are sufficiently equipped to project and deliver the promises of airpower in line with contemporary and global best practices.

The establishment of an Air Warfare Centre for the Nigerian Air Force was first conceived in 2013 to develop operational and tactical doctrines, as well as provide integrated mission support training for enhanced joint force employment. Nonetheless, the Centre was only established on paper since then. The Air Warfare Centre has a mandate to offer training which impacts positively on the effectiveness of Nigerian Air Force operations in theatres across the country. Based on this mandate, the Centre’s curriculum is intended to include doctrine development and operational-level training, as well as operational readiness assessment across all combat units.

The event was well attended by Branch Chiefs and senior officers from the 3 Services and members of the Air Power Consult.

all unknown gun men please drop down your arms and become known, I hate seeing my fellow Nigerians being displayed liked hunted prey. But if this is what it will takes for Nigeria to become secure I pray our armed forces victory to victory.

QuietMynd:

Yes o. I hope the owners weren't killed and dumped in the bush so they could report the theft. I also hope that if the owners are alive, they reported the theft. If not, they risk being picked up by DSS

So they carried shotgun and charms to attack army checkpoint? Id1ats. At least now they know charms are useless.

I honestly don't see this ending anytime soon. These unknown gunmen bill folks holding funerals and the like and they are free to seize cars and properties claiming such is needed for their struggle. This could have been nipped in the bud and it's so sad it has been allowed to fester for long, with the army and security forces not helping matters by committing atrocities that these gunmen and IPOB use to recruit fresh fanatics.

At least, strict adherence to Monday sit at home is weakening, but we still have a long way to go.

Maybe not really a leak, news has been circulating for six moths plus. Photos got out locally in Turkey like a month ago. It couldn't be hidden longer because of foreign made FLIR balls imported by Turkey from North American continent that was blocked by NATO giants because of Ukraine Russian war.

I really wish we can get their North American EO FLIR, because ban on Turkey caused doubts when some Ukraine TB2 drones shot downed by Russia exposed best FLIR optics technology to Russian hands for analysis to copy and defeat it.

Some of us fear a Turkey owned inferior EO IR balls on our NA drones due to the ban.

NA order is estimate #s

6 x Bayraktar MALE UAV

10 x Songar mini UAV

=

16 drones for now.

Songar is good vs high value assets strike like that noisy bandit lord of Zamfara.

It won't win us this war but its very useful additional needed assets.

Do your best our NA, with these 16 for now, hoping for more units procurement to form NA Aviation UCAV Air Wing.

NA CV3 saving life's...
