NIGERIAN AIR FORCE DEPLOYS COMBAT HELICOPTER TO GUSAU The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has today, 18 June 2018, deployed a combat helicopter to its 207 Quick Response Group (QRG) in Gusau. The deployment of the weaponized EC-135 helicopter is part of efforts aimed at intensifying the fight against armed banditry in Zamfara State and environs. The helicopter will operate from the recently constructed helipads at 207 QRG Gusau thereby enhancing overall operational effectiveness. Accordingly, the NAF will be better positioned to provide the needed air support to the additional surface forces just deployed by the Defence Headquarters to tackle the security challenges in the State. Other NAF air assets, however, remain available on nearby alternate airfields to add impetus to air operations in the State as might be necessary. In a related development, the Air Officer Commanding Special Operations Command of the NAF, Air Vice Marshal Ismaila Kaita, also undertook an operational visit to the Unit today to obtain firsthand information on the situation and address any possible challenges. The visit revealed that the morale of the deployed NAF Special Forces is high and they are in a state of high alert. While thanking you for your usual cooperation, you are please requested to disseminate the foregoing for the awareness of the general public. OLATOKUNBO ADESANYA Air Vice Marshal Director of Public Relations and Information Nigerian Air Force

jakeporeshenko:Nobody bashed Bidexii for advocating for a new Air Defense System. In fact everybody agrees Nigeria's Air Defence needs a total overhaul. What is wrong was to give a "No" answer to the question of whether Nigeria has a functioning Air Defense system. Yes, we have an Air Defense System irrespective of the state it's in. Didn't an obsolete Syrian Air Defense SAM shoot down an advanced Israeli F-16I fighter jet over Israel? Have we not seen videos of manpads shooting down SU-25s and Attack Helicopters over Syria? Haven't AAA's targeted and in a few instances hit/or shot down Syrian fighter jets? The L-39 of the SAAF was shot down with AAAs? So, how exactly is Bidexii's comment correct that Nigeria does not have an Air Defense System? You throw around requirements and risks because you don't chop off your hand because your finger has an injury. It is the educated thing to do, not an emotional rant. As a result of that threat assessment in the late 90's and early 2000's, attack helicopters were purchased. This was because the top brass found out due to the unavailablity of attack helicopters in Liberia, our air campaigns had serious shortcomings. As a result in a LICW environment which we would find ourselves we cannot perform optimally without AH's. Providing fact based assessments is not a crime. Jeez!! |

jln115: I believe the Nigerian Defence budget would allow for a purchase of 24 MIG-35s. As we have seen on countless occasions, funds for procurement generally differ in many cases to funds available in the defence budget. I would prefer the MIG-35 because it gives Nigeria the capability to do more. Going for a 4th generation aircraft in 2018 doesn't seem like a wise purchase to me. Instead we should rather go for the best aircraft we can afford. A JF-17, although capable is running against time, except if we are looking at the block 3 version. Yak 130 when we are getting 12 Super Tucanos is another waste of money. |

Henry240:How many Russian technicians reside in Syria at every given time, can you compare the relation between Syria and russia with the relationship we have with our partners that delivered the Roland SAMs more than 25 years ago? those obselte Syrian SAMs have received several upgrades over the years Henry240: you can provide proof that we field manpads, cause i have never seen any news on procurement or training of personnel on those.

Henry240:pls chad and Cameroon both have MIG29 and the south African cheetahs respectively. so u may reconsider |
Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by barineh(m): 11:27pm On Jun 18, 2018 |
giles14: Cameroon does not have the mig 29 only Chad does and they have ONLY 3. South African cheetahs have been retired since and replaced w/ the gripen. The s300/400 is an over kill. We need something like the Buk system. I'd prefer we spend more money on Capable air superiority fighters like Mig35 or su35. 4 Likes |

Henry240:I'm not talking about procurement, which i agree differs from normal defence budget.....our own arms deal is a great example. However Im specifically talking about maintenance, flight cost per hour of a mig35 will literally be double(maybe even more)then say a JF17 or J-10. Well with your current defence budget NAF can't afford Mig 35s......if the defence budget was raised to let say 1.5-2% of GDP then 26+ Mig35s would certainly be affordable. Maybe looking at the J-10...would be a better option than the JF17? Yaks are replacement for your aging Alpha and L-39 fleet......the primary role would be LIFT and secondary role light attack, don't see why they can't supplement your Tucano? 1 Like |

barineh:but you know the SU35 would be a maintenance headache. the MiG35 would be great ,even the S350 would/should be considered |
Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by barineh(m): 11:57pm On Jun 18, 2018 |
giles14: All Russian planes are head aches. Ask India. And Nigeria's maintenance history isn't glorious. But they're still the best choice for us. |

Henry240: Dude stop displaying your ignorance. The guy asked did NA has any air defense system capabilities; And am still telling NA as zero air defense capabilities. And stop calling Syrian air defense capabilities obsolete; over years Syrian has been in war and has one of the most sophisticated Soviet-designed air defense systems outside the former Eastern Bloc countries. However, it does not include the most advanced air sensor systems developed by the Soviets. Syria has one of the most robust SAM networks, The Air Defense Command, which operates under the command of the air force, operates longer-range surface-to-air missiles such as the Almaz Volga-M (SA-2), S-125 Neva (SA-3) and Antey S-200 (SA-5). Not forgetting For country fighting a civil war I'll say they are not doing bad. Dude sitting examples of AAGs or manpads shots down a fighter jet; does not justify or conclude our AAG in Kachia, Kadu amounts to a capable air defense system. There are no fact based assessments in your arguments. The NA as zero AD capabilities. |

Xbee007: bidexiii: Henry240: I actually planned to bring an end to this argument and not to escalate the issue. The guy asked if Nigeria have any ADS. It is important for us to know Army, Navy and Air Force all have their way of protecting airspace. ARMY uses AAG, MANPADS, SRSAM, MRSAM, LRSAM, etc. NAVY uses CIWS, VLS (with some frigate carry up to 32 cells),etc AIR FORCE using RADAR, EW, INTERCEPTORS, AIR SUPERIORITY FIGHTER JETS, etc to intercept or destroy the target before achieving their aim. AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT IS THE AIR FORCE'S PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT THE NIGERIAN AIR SPACE. So we need to solve the problem of the those with the primary responsibility first before the secondary. Air force's Radar detect target long before they enter the country or even before the ADS detect any target. 2 Likes |
