Tsaigumi UAV: Nigerian Air Force Develops New Drone. by lionel4power(m): 9:48am On Feb 15, 2018 |
It appears that the Nigerian Air Force aerospace engineers have designed and manufactured a new class of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) called Tsaigumi Unmanned aerial vehicle. This was revealed on the Nigerian Air Force website on FEBRUARY 6, 2018. The new Tsaigumi UAV was built by the Nigerian Air Force aerospace engineers and would be unveiled on February 15th at the Nigerian Air Force Base Kaduna. Responding to online Request for Information (RFI) the NAF Spokesman AVM OA Adesanya revealed that the newly developed Tsaigumi UAV is the first NAF's 'operational ' indigenous UAV which might indicate that the Tsaigumi UAV would be deployed operationally in a combat theater.

Gulma and Amebo most likely acted as a testbed for further Research and Development (R& D) into UAV development. He further stated that the Tsaigumi UAV would be used in the restive North-East combat zone. In May 27 2014, the NAF PR & Information Director, Air Commodore Yusuf Anas, told news media that the Gulma could not be used in the restive North Eastern Nigeria due to difficulties in mass producing it. He also said that the Gulma operators were still undergoing training. Nigeria has a history of operating UAV's, the country is one of the first in Africa to induct armed drones into active service. Other UAV in Nigerian service includes: . Israeli made Aerostar drone (grounded) . CAIC CH-3 UCAV . Nigerian-made Amebo drone . Nigerian-madeIchokwu Handheld drone . Nigerian-made Gulma drone . DJI Phantom-4 drone . Yahbon Flash UAV(ordered) Tsaigumi UAV specifications Read More https://www.africanmilitaryblog.com/2018/02/Tsaigumi-UAV.html?m=1 Lalasticlala Mynd44 Ishilove MissyB3 OAM4J |

Good development. Next thing is to create a weaponized version of it and then mass produce, at least we can augment our pitifully outdated and scanty combat aircrafts with a bevy of advanced armed drones. Better intelligence gathering with an added advantage of precision strikes. |
