NAF CONDUCTS SHOW OF FORCE FOR ENHANCED SECURITY OF COMMUTERS ON KADUNA-ABUJA EXPRESSWAY

In an effort to support more effective security measures along the Kaduna-Abuja Highway, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has conducted a “Show of Force” Exercise in Katari village, one of the identified criminal hotspots along the Route. The exercise, which combined aerial and ground operations by NAF Special Forces (SF) and Regiment personnel, is intended to send a stern warning signal to criminal elements, that the NAF and other security agencies are ready to engage them both from the air and on ground to frustrate their nefarious activities. Two armed helicopters, along with 50 fully armed personnel, were deployed for the exercise, which simulated a rummage where the SF stormed a criminal hideout and arrested some suspects who were flown away for further interrogation.

The Team Leader and Commanding Officer of the Regiment Wing, 453 Base Services Group NAF Kaduna, Wing Commander Leonard Onugha, while addressing the men after the exercise, said the NAF, in collaboration with other security agencies, is doing all it can to ensure a safe corridor for commuters who ply the Kaduna-Abuja Highway. He therefore urged all well meaning Nigerians to go about their legitimate businesses and report any suspicious activities or persons to the security agencies.

Certain portions of Kaduna-Abuja Highway have been susceptible to the activities of armed robbers and kidnappers, who randomly attack and kidnap commuters for ransom and rituals. In compliance with the directives of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, the NAF, as part of its constitutional role of providing aid to Civil Authority, will sustain aerial surveillance and armed vehicular patrols along the Highway and Rail line to consolidate ongoing efforts to ensure safe travels for law-abiding citizens.

NA BTR-4E with add-on Dshk AA Frontal Gun

Odunayaw:
Yet the US still uses the M14 and variants

ugo4u you do know the Algerians and Egyptians still use the AKM and variants right
Its the long M16A1s &A2s the Senegalese use that's cool abi (The black finish )

Sniper Rifles like the Steyr and Dragunovs are for niche roles. You are free to tell me any other reliable equal

Are we more concerned about aesthetics or reliability? The same Tavors that look tacticool are being dumped for Bulgarian AR-1 & Beryls

So I ask again, are you more concerned about aesthetics or reliability?

Let's make these beryl/AK variants as standard issue for all NA regiments.

ugo4u:
I still wonder why all our things in this country always have K-leg someone should correct me if I'm wrong, is it a sin if the authorities do a radical change with respect to weaponry just negodu the kinda rifle NA marksmen are using abi are we under international arms embargo ne? me I don't understand oo, is it a taboo to use sophisticated sniper rifle such as Blaser R93, Saki TRG etc, if it is too expensive to rearm the entire military with a grade A-weapon such as Tavor series/ M series or a higher version of Kalashnikovs, it shouldn't be difficult to properly equip a small specialized unit such as the Snipers. We're quick to raise shoulders as giant if Africa but honestly we can't face the Egyptian or Algerian army in warfare, South Africa is even out if it sef. I think it's high time the FG do government to government purchase of equipments if sourcing same from third parties is proofing difficult or better still outsource the reorganization of the military to the Russians or Israelis ( that is if pride will allow us) Saudi and Egypt did same, even with the level of expertise of the Israelis they still do collabo with USA, India and even codedly with Russians.
We should sign the godammn bilateral agreement ( a serious one oo) with any of the world powers.

Until we do away of some old top brass in our military files. We need young minds

Nice pics and very old...

ugo4u:
Helos are perfect for such missions, using alpha jets esp the F7s will not make much impact because of its speed and endurance in air(that piece of shit is a fuel guzzler) a helicopter can easily hover over the bandits from a safe altitude and rain hell on them. But I wonder why they use Agusta for such missions maybe they consider it not to be a high risk operation, that chopper esp that variant is at best a transport helicopter, with no guided munition, infact that mounted gun is an addon by NAF technicians( no be follow come), what about the beast (Mi 35)? seems like NAF don't rate those bandits as to waste high caliber munitions on them.
May God help us..

I think the MI-35 variants are stationed in the North East operations only, probably if the rest of the MI-35 are delivered we will have enough to go round.
