[/b]NAF COMMENCES SPECIALIZED TRAINING ON ANTI-UAV RADAR SYSTEM IN MAIDUGURI[b] The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has inaugurated a new cadre of personnel for specialised training on the 612A Anti-UAV Radar System, marking a strategic step towards strengthening its counter-drone capabilities. The inauguration ceremony held on 26 July 2025 at the Headquarters of the Air Component, Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), in Maiduguri, Borno State. The training programme is designed to equip selected NAF personnel with the technical and operational expertise to detect, track, and neutralise hostile Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in asymmetrical conflict zones. The objective of the course reflects the vision of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Bala Abubakar, which places strong emphasis on mastering emerging technologies in modern warfare. According to him, “the importance of mastering both the theoretical and practical aspects of this training cannot be overstated,” he noted. “The NAF expects nothing less than excellence as you embark on this mission-critical training to enhance our operational effectiveness.” During the inauguration, the Air Component Commander OPHK, Air Commodore UU Idris, described the initiative as timely, given the increasing use of improvised drones by adversaries in the region. “The threats posed by hostile and improvised drone systems have challenged conventional air and ground security strategies,” he noted. “This specialised training will significantly enhance our situational awareness and defensive capabilities.” The initiative represents another significant step in the NAF’s efforts to maintain air superiority and safeguard national security in a rapidly evolving battlespace. #NAFAntiUAVTraining #CounterDroneOps #NAFTechEdge #OperationHadinKai #AirPowerAgainstThreats #SecuringTheSkies #NAFCounterDrone 2 Likes

[/b]NAF BOOSTS BATTLESPACE DOMINANCE WITH NEW COMBAT-READY UAV OPERATORS[b] The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has graduated a new batch of combat-ready Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operators following the successful completion of Operational Conversion Training Course 3/2024. The ceremony, held on 24 July 2025 at 233 Wing Hangar, Kaduna, marks a significant leap in NAF’s efforts to enhance Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations. This development reinforces the NAF’s commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s battlespace dominance through improved precision, real-time intelligence gathering, and aerial support to ongoing counterinsurgency and internal security operations across the country. Representing the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Hasan Bala Abubakar, at the event, the Air Officer Commanding Tactical Air Command, Air Vice Marshal Patrick Obeya, described the graduation as a strategic milestone in Nigeria’s defence posture. Air Marshal Abubakar noted that this achievement reflects his vision of building a highly skilled, agile, and mission-ready force capable of addressing emerging security threats. He commended the graduating UAV operators for their resilience and professionalism, urging them to uphold the values of discipline and excellence as they contribute actionable intelligence to support joint force operations. The CAS further charged the new operators to remain innovative, embrace continuous learning, and collaborate across engineering, intelligence, and operational domains to enhance mission outcomes. He emphasised that UAV warfare is rapidly evolving, requiring not only flying skills but the ability to fuse data, think strategically, and act decisively. The well-attended event, which drew senior officers, families, and well-wishers, highlighted the NAF’s forward-leaning approach to modern warfare and its steadfast commitment to defending the nation through cutting-edge technology and skilled manpower. #NAFForward #UAVOperators #BattlefieldDominance #PrecisionISR #AirPower #NigerianAirForce #MissionReady #NationalSecurity #PeoplesAirForce

bidex111:[/b]TROOPS FOIL DEADLY ATTACK IN NIGER STATE, ENGAGE TERRORISTS IN HEAVY GUN BATTLE[b] [/b]In a deliberate joint operation, troops of the Nigerian Army, in collaboration with the Air Component of the Nigerian Air Force, successfully thwarted an attempted incursion by terrorists into Bangi community in Mariga Local Government Area of Niger State on 24 June 2025[b] The operation, which was based on credible intelligence, led to troops engaging about 300 armed bandits in Kwanar Dutse Forest. The criminals had attempted a night-time transit towards Kwatankoro Forest, where they were reportedly planning coordinated attacks on surrounding communities or looking for a safe haven to evade the pressure from our operations in Zamfara State. However, their movement and actions were effectively disrupted by troops who engaged them in a fierce firefight that lasted over three hours. Sequel to the ground engagement by the Nigerian Army troops, the Nigerian Air Force conducted precision airstrikes on the terrorists’ withdrawal routes, delivering accurate heavy bombardments on identified terrorists’ locations. Although the exact number of casualties could not be ascertained, multiple blood trails along their escape routes presumably indicate significant enemy losses. Further operation is ongoing to ascertain the full extent of the damage inflicted on the terrorists. [/b]Regrettably, seventeen brave and gallant soldiers paid the supreme price during the encounter, while ten others sustained varying degrees of injury. The wounded personnel have been evacuated to a military medical facility, where they are receiving treatment and are in stable condition[b] The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Oluwafemi Oluyede, has extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of our fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of our great country, Nigeria. The Chief of Army Staff also directed the military medical teams to ensure the best possible care for the injured troops. The relevant Nigerian Army departments have also been tasked to engage with the families of all our gallant warriors who have undoubtedly performed their duty, most admirably. The Nigerian Army remains resolute in its mission to secure all communities and protect the lives and property of all our citizens across the nation. The sanctity of our freedom shall not be mortgaged and the Nigerian Army, in collaboration with the Nigerian Navy, the Nigerian Air Force, other security agencies and of course, the great people of our nation will continue to work tirelessly to see an end to terrorism, banditry and other forms of criminality plaguing our society. Members of the public are hereby encouraged to continue to support the ongoing counter-terrorism efforts by providing timely information to security agencies by any means possible.

bidex111:These 🤡 even filmed NAF Super-Tucano during Air raids. Despite failing to capture the bases, JAS achieved a significant success in the recent Baga and Ngoshe attacks. The equipment captured can help JAS launch more strikes, raise fighters morale and provide ISWAP fierce competition. With the recent outcomes in defferent theatres ; it's like our military is giving away equipmemt to the terrorists, troops morale is down and the top brass are clueless.

Exnavyboy62:Thanks for defining what terrorism his, I have stated in my previous comments, some Arab countries have been supporting, funding and harboring terrorist organizations, likewise the US government sponsoring terrorism covertly. One of them attacked Israel on October 7th, An evil act that woke the sleeping lion; thanks to HAMAS, Israeli intelligence might not discover tunnels used for smuggling arms and ammunition into Israel for future attacks. Whatever is happening to Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran today is a fact and testament of past reality that Israel is surrounded by enemies and they can never be trusted. Israel has learnt a lesson from the Six-Day War and Yom Kippur War, They cannot afford to lower there gaurd down. |

Nigeria Must Fence Its Borders To Be Secure - Musa[b][/b] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Su1Bk-GcS8?si=RUMYA8K63uOsmTp5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAVygTUXS2E?si=b1Nb0-Iwf2Eu-Y1e Take away from the CDS's words: it's high time we start planning on how we erect fences on our porous borders. Like he said, the Sahel region is heating up on a daily basis. Entrenched insurgency driven by armed Islamist groups affiliated with al-Qaeda (JNIM) and the so-called Islamic State Sahel Province are attacking and taking over military formations and if this persists, Nigeria might be soon. It's high time cattle ranches/grazing reserves should be established. The recent killings and attacks in Edo & Benue states between farmers and herders have become a recurring incident; the rate seems to be increasing in recent times. It appears the word FORGIVENESS is not in the dictionary of both parties; hence, the almost vicious cycle of attacks and counter- attacks 3 Likes |

VonSmallhausen:You've made a valid point here mate. I would say we are not over focusing on strike equipment, and there is nothing like overkill when dealing with terrorists, bandits, and other criminal syndicate. We need to send a clear message. You mean our Mi-35M gunships, not the Mil-28. Talking about the chopper-borne troop-carrying capacity, I think that should not be a priority for now given the current threat situation. Our ground fighting force needs all the adequate air cover they can get, both fixed-wing and rotary assets. For the Mil-28, we can get few for now for logistic roles, I think the NAF brass are just placing there priorities amongst scarce resources. 1 Like |

Exnavyboy62:I think the military problem is to keep sustaining this types of offensive, taking the fight to the enemy, the airforce carrying out more ISR missions, interdiction and timely ground support for surface troops. I know this entails alot of funding from the government, For the fencing thing, I don't see that happening soon and foe me it's not a solution ending cross border attacks from terrorist, they can easily blow up such gence and make way anywhere. We've seen this criminals blowing up power grids easily without been caught. |

[/b]Again, NAF Jets Decimate Terrorist Enclave in Bukar Meram in Lake Chad[b] As part of ongoing efforts to sustain pressure on terrorist elements and deny them freedom of action, the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) has conducted another successful air interdiction mission at a terrorist enclave in Bukar Meram, located in the southern axis of the Lake Chad region. Zagazola Makama was reliably informed by sources that the mission, which was executed in the early hourz of Monday, June 9, at about 0545 hours, was carried out under the auspices of Operation KALACHEN WUTA II. The sources said that the operation formed part of a broader strategy aimed at disrupting terrorist activities before, during, and after the Eid-el-Kabir Sallah period. He said that intelligence-led surveillance revealed that the terrorists were regrouping at the Bukar Meram location with intent to launch coordinated attacks on Marte and Monguno general areas. Prompted by this credible intelligence, the Air Component swiftly mobilised to engage the enclave. Airstrikes were conducted with precision, leading to the neutralisation of several terrorists. The strikes also resulted in the destruction of critical terrorist logistics, including supply vehicles, makeshift shelters, and weapons storage points. The decimation of the enclave not only inflicted significant losses on the terrorists but also disrupted their operational planning and movement. The sources added that Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) conducted after the mission confirmed that the planned attacks on Marte and Monguno were effectively thwarted. Further intelligence gathering is ongoing to assess enemy reactions and possible movement patterns following the successful interdiction. Ground troops have also been placed on heightened alert to exploit the gains of the airstrike and maintain pressure on fleeing remnants. 1 Like |
