Can you prove that it's an old pic?

Just noticed it, with black trousers.
Looks wounded lying his back against the truck.

Xbee007:
Can you prove that it's an old pic?

To some extent yes and no !
Simply because no attacks or ambush in the N.E that has resulted to lost of equipment to BHT. At least running up to a month now when the COAS was there with them.

Toju200:
Mr Man KingAzubuike hates Nigeria military there's no opinion he's giving
Just because NAF is about to carry out Airstrikes he just concluded it's IDP camp they are going to hit..
What type of Opinion is that.
And there hasn't been any "Numerous Occasion " We struck IDP camps
I'm sure it's only twice
Our Airforce even performed better and Safer than the Russkies in Syria that are killing civilians Twice in Every three Airstrikes Ratio..

Don’t waste your time trying to convince or let them see reason why they should use there senses.
Guys just ignore, simple.

youghs:
Can you please explain the reason NA doesn't put a tracker in its vehicles so they can be able to recover or even destroy them when they are captured.

Honestly it’s a great idea.
Putting trackers on Toyota hilux vehicles to me doesn’t make sense. If it where APC/MRAP or other armored vehicles like IFV/MBT that it worth it.
What you are saying is quite expensive, you are going to need a dedicated network system tracking all military assets. Probably in the nearest future will get there.

Juchii:
But how about the vehicle on the photograph ??

NA getting there captured vehicles back yesterday. You’ll better believe it, if it where not true Boko haram would have release the video by now.
Or you mean the picture below, I’ll say it’s an old incident claiming it’s recent

Toju200:
so here I'll say Iswap lied Instead NA ambushed them and Recovered Two guntrucks from them....

Yeap blatant lies

something you don't see every day;
Egyptian troops (Thunderbolt) receiving training in Tunisia.

CAPACITY BUILDING: NAF TRAINS FLIGHT NURSES, CONFIGURES C-130H FOR EFFECTIVE AEROMEDICAL EVACUATION

In furtherance of efforts to build the capacity of its personnel for the effective and efficient conduct of Aeromedical Evacuation missions to airlift wounded soldiers from various theatres of operation to appropriate treatment facilities, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has conducted a training for some of its flight nurses and aircrew. The week-long training, which came to an end today, 23 April 2020, with a simulation exercise at the flight line of the 307 Executive Airlift Group, Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja using the C-130H aircraft, was aimed at enhancing the knowledge of participants to enable them ensure that wounded personnel are stabilized and provided necessary life support from point of enplaning until they arrive at the destination facility. In this regard, a NAF C-130H aircraft has been configured to carry specialized stretchers for the patients along with necessary life support equipment, including patient monitors and ventilators

Speaking during the event, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the training and simulation exercise, stating that it aptly depicted what was expected of flight nurses and other crew members while conducting aeromedical evacuation of wounded soldiers from the battlefield to the locations of designated medical facilities. He noted that the capability, which would reduce the risk to wounded personnel and enhance their chances of survival, could also be deployed for the emergency movement of COVID-19 patients, if so required.

The CAS disclosed that the NAF had, over the past 4 and half years, made concerted efforts to build the capacity of its Medical personnel to not only ensure the provision of qualitative healthcare services to personnel and their families but also to ensure effective care for personnel wounded in action. To this end, he said, NAF Trauma/Emergency Care Teams had been set up in all theatres of operation. He noted that this has helped to boost morale and fighting spirit of the personnel. Air Marshal Abubakar therefore commended the Air Officer Commanding Mobility Command as well as the Chief of Medical Services and the Commander of the 301 Heavy Airlift Group for their efforts in ensuring the effective conduct of the training as well as the configuration of the C-130H.

Also present at the event were some Branch Chiefs from Headquarters NAF, the Chief of Staff of Mobility Command as well as Commanders and other senior NAF officers.

R.I.P GALLANT SOLDIER

Cool picture of a Tunisian Air Force F-5F Tiger II spotted flying over the capital.
It can be a rehearsal for the 24th of June, given that it was spotted a couple of times in the last few days, as much as it can be just a routine flight.

Toju200:

NAF@56: NAFOWA DONATES PALLIATIVES TO HOST COMMUNITIES IN ABUJA TO CUSHION EFFECT OF COVID-19

As part of efforts to alleviate the hardships being experienced by Nigerians, especially women and children, as a result of the lockdown imposed to combat the spread of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Nigerian Air Force Officers' Wives Association (NAFOWA) today, 22 April 2020, distributed palliatives to members of the NAF’s host communities in Bassa, Sauka and Wulumo in the Abuja Municipal Area Council. The palliatives, which were distributed to 550 families, included bags of rice, vegetable oil, beans, semovita, noodles and condiments, among others. The donation, which was done in furtherance of NAFOWA’s motto of “Service to Humanity”, is coming barely 48 hours after the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) distributed food items and other palliatives to members of its host communities of Ushafa, Nuwalege and Zamani in Abuja to mark its 56th Anniversary.

Speaking during the flag-off of the well-organized, COVID-19 compliant ceremony, the NAFOWA National President, Hajiya Hafsat Abubarkar, who was represented by the Vice President of the Association, Mrs Elizabeth Amao, stated that the charitable initiative by the Association was to reach out to the less privileged in the society in order to cushion the economic effect of the lockdown occasioned by the COVID-19 global pandemic. She advised Nigerians to adhere strictly to all precautionary measures aimed at eradicating the deadly scourge.

Expressing his appreciation to the NAFOWA for the kind gesture, the Chief of Bassa Community, Gimbia Daudu, noted that following the lockdown order, the people of his community found it extremely difficult to feed. The palliatives, he said, would go a long way in assuaging the plight of his people. Meanwhile, the beneficiaries, who could not hide their joy, also showered encomiums on the NAFOWA President and her team for the palliatives, which according to them, would further cushion the effect of the stay-at-home order. NAFOWA is a Non-Governmental Organisation that is complementing the welfare programmes of the NAF.
