The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has successfully test fired 30.1mm ground to air Inert Head Rockets locally produced by its Research and Development Team. The rockets were test fired during the Weapons Meet at Kwenev Air Range, Makurdi to commemorate the 53rd anniversary celebration of the NAF.

Also produced by the NAF R& D were the ground based rail launcher and vehicle mounted rail rocket launcher. The rocket launchers are fired through a remotely controlled firing based system. Aside from the display of air defence weapon, there was also a spectacular demonstration of weapon delivery by some of the NAF platforms.

The aircraft fired both rockets and canons with high level of precision. A total of 4 NAF aircraft participated in the weapons meet with each arriving over the range with a spacer pass at 200ft for the helicopters and 300ft for the jets. The participating aircraft included Augusta 109 LUH with backdoor gunner, L-39ZA, Alpha Jet and F-7Ni.

The exercise was aimed at sharpening the targeting skills of NAF pilots to acquire and engage targets as well as test the precision of the aircraft in hitting the targets. Four designated targets were identified and the formations attacked the targets one after the other starting with cobra, tiger and aggressor formations.

In his remarks at the occasion, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Gabriel Olonishakin felicitated with the NAF on its 53rd anniversary celebration and commended the commitment of the current NAF leadership for improving the capacity of officers and men. “Today, I am proud to declare that the NAF has lived up to expectation. This sequencing, airmanship and accurate delivery of firepower from the various platforms that participated at the Air Weapons Meet are highly commendable”.

Gen Olonishakin also disclosed that Nigeria can boast of an Air Force that can deliver appropriate air power as witnessed in the North East where the NAF air interdiction, ground attack and close air support missions played a pivotal role in the counter-terrorism/insurgency operations.

Airforce of Nigeria's shenanegan against Boko Haram religious fighting force is mere diversionary,


Boko Haram is like Taliban - both are backed by insider Muslim Fundamentalists for country governed through Islamic sharia criminal codes.

Two years after the US and other coalitionforces left Afghanistan, Taliban fighters have reclaimed more than half of Afghanistan. Yesterday, Taliban killed more than 100 Afghan soldiers in a military barrack attack.


More than half of northern Nigeria adopted sharia criminal codes and support wide spread of use of sharia criminal codes all over Nigeria.


Only solution for Boko Haram violence is grant far northern Nigeria an Islamic Country it asked for indirectly when 12 northern states unilaterally adopted Islamic sharia criminal codes.


If not , Nigeria shall be reduced to Afghanistan or Iraq or Somalia.

In case you dont know(but I suspect you do),the military DSSC/SSC programmes requires a "sponsor",without that sponsor,even if you are qualified,you cant be considered.
Military institutions like NDA and even Command are now by specific recommendation,not by merit.
Of course, I stand to be corrected with higher facts.

Bloody stupid dunce. Did North Korea start by launching massive weapons or did they go through various Research and Development stages on the way to their latest release? Ignorant self hating fools like you and the animals who liked your post are the people dragging us back. Every progress we make, all you can do is vomit your spiteful garbage, even though left to your own devices you could not produce a single pin from your empty dullard skull..

Interestin..perhaps things are changing for the better.
I want to go for SSC after I finish uni,perhaps the need for a military sponsor would be much more relaxed by then.

This plenty comparison here with North Korea sef:

North Korea does not acquire weapons to kill citizens of North Korea.

Nigeria acquires weapons to kill Nigeria's citizens.

North Korea trains its army to face its many foreign enemies.

Nigeria trains its army to face its citizens - like a police force. Nigeria has no foreign enemies.

EVarn:
Its a good start,but more needs to be done in terms of funding and technology acquisition to kick-start various military R & D projects.
We should be working towards building our own indigenous tank and trainer aircraft.
