I think Hardtalk is useless, its supposed to be about tough questions and interrogations but the presenter never allows you express yourself before shutting you out with a barrage of more questions. The guests are never given a fair chance.

True talk, but that is the nature of HardTalk, the question are always too much and meant to make one look like a fool. Just like Aljazeera's Medi Hassan Head-to-Head. Or ChannelsTv Face Off. The questions are always tough and the best way to deal with the presenters is to be emotionally intelligent and never allow them to put words into your mouth.

NAF ‘WINGS’ ADDITIONAL COMBAT PILOTS

In furtherance of the human capacity building initiative of the present leadership of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), two combat pilots were ‘winged’ today, 4 July 2017 after successfully completing an 18-month Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas in the United States of America. The two newly ‘winged’ pilots, both of the rank of Flying Officer, went through the primary and fighter jet training during which they amassed over 100 flying hours each on the T-6 Texan ii and T-38 Talon aircraft types. The 2 officers had earlier undergone an introductory flying training at the US Aviation Academy in Denton, where they flew the Cessna 172 aircraft. They will now be deployed to NAF combat units for tactical training on fighter jets.

In his remarks during the winging ceremony, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar reiterated that the NAF would not relent in its efforts at human capacity building, noting that the Service cannot function optimally without appropriate personnel training. The CAS further stated that the NAF was already reaping from its huge investment in human capacity building, as reflected in the several NAF aircraft that had been successfully reactivated, with attendant effect on operational efficiency. According to the CAS, “only the right training can enable personnel deal with the complex security challenges facing the country. We will therefore continue to build human capacity while also ensuring that our humanitarian intervention schemes are going on”. Air Marshal Abubakar congratulated the new pilots and urged them to quickly settle down and join the rest of their colleagues in defending the territorial integrity of the nation. Earlier in his remarks, the Chief of Training and Operations, who represented by the Director of Training (DOT), Air Vice Marshal Muhammed Idris, thanked the CAS for availing the pilots the opportunity to be trained at the prestigious Laughlin Air Force Base, remarking that the training comes with special laurel because of the uniqueness of the school.

It would be recalled that only less than 3 weeks ago, the NAF ‘winged’ 10 officers who had just completed their one-year pilot training program in South Africa. Many more NAF pilots and members of the ground crew were reported to be undergoing training at local and overseas training institutions.

am not sure if its out these year or even if it late already.

but I know the form for trades & non-trade men and women is out.

jakeporeshenko:

There is no kind of IED boko haram can deployed that has not been previously encountered in other theatres of war, NA simply needs to do the needful and look outside for some expert help from those who have first hand experience with such threats, the U.S and U.k developed some very effective countermeasure while operating in Afghanistan, so its not like this is something new with no solution in sight.

lastly NA elite soldiers can also go after the IED makers in their factories, hideouts surely they cant be more than a handful with such skills.

I hope u didn't miss the part in that article that the officer and his men that met up with that horrible fate where of the 133 SFB..normally I don't expect them to roll in MRAPs as dat will be tantamount to wearing pink camo ...However one sh1t we need to start fixing is how we respond to bottlenecks.. dammit down South there were two bush war/insurgencies and both adapted.. why lose infantry unnecessarily

NIGERIAN AIR FORCE FRUSTRATES ANOTHER BOKO HARAM ATTEMPT AT REGROUPING

In furtherance of its clearance operations, on 2 July 2017, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Component of Operation LAFIYA DOLE conducted an Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission of the Sambisa general area, the former spiritual headquarters of the Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT). During the ISR mission, a gradual convergence of BHT elements at some buildings in Alagarno Camp 1 was noticed. The sight of several solar panels on the rooftops of the buildings, and the obvious attempt to conceal the buildings, gave out the plans of the terrorists. A confirmatory ISR mission indicated that the structures were most likely a budding Command and Control facility, which could also house High Value Targets. Accordingly, on 3 July 2017, the Air Component detailed 3 aircraft namely, 2 Alpha Jet and one F-7Ni aircraft, to conduct Air Interdiction strikes on the buildings in succession. Subsequent Battle Damage Assessment revealed that the structures with the solar panels as well as other adjoining BHT structures were damaged. Furthermore, a suspected BHT technical vehicle, which was attempting to make a run from the vicinity, was struck by subsequent waves of attack.
