Am surprised also.


Of recent they have been reactivating a lot of there old jets, putting back into front line.

And they are doing well fighting Daesh.

jakeporeshenko:
I want to organize 10 days fasting and prayers on this thread, so that God can touch the hearts of those In charge of civil military relations at the NA and NN so they can be like our AVM OA Adesanya.

We need Quality pictures and videos daily!

It’s not a difficult task and it doesn’t cost much, how much does it take take NAF to publish pictures videos and release statements daily on Facebook, insta and Twitter? Not much, but the positive impacts are immeasurable!

I say a BIG AMEN TO THESE...

Especially the NA, nice pics.

NIGERIAN AIR FORCE ALPHA JET AIRCRAFT NEUTRALIZES SCORES OF BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS DURING CLOSE AIR SUPPORT

A Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Alpha Jet aircraft yesterday, 7 May 2018, neutralized scores of Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) while providing Close Air Support (CAS) to ground troops. The successful air strike by the NAF Alpha Jet aircraft followed calls from the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 8 Division of the Nigerian Army (NA) that troops conducting clearance operations at Koleram had come in contact with BHTs. The GOC therefore requested for support from the NAF, sequel to which the Alpha Jet aircraft was immediately scrambled to provide CAS. On arrival over the location, there were exchanges of fire between BHTs and our ground forces. The crew of a Nigerien Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft established contact with the ground troops and guided the Alpha Jet aircraft crew to the major source of fire from the BHTs, which was seen coming from a particular settlement. Consequently, the NAF Alpha Jet aircraft engaged the target with rockets and cannons thus neutralizing the BHTs and destroying their weapons. The Air Task Force will continue to conduct missions, on request, in support of the efforts of our troops in the counterinsurgency operations in the Northeast.

CAPTION THESE...


Here is a picture showing how the guns used by the guards of honour are thoroughly checked before they are used to welcome president Muhammadu Buhari anytime he arrives to the country or for a state event. The guns are properly checked by the president's security personnel who even smells the guns to avoid any unfortunate incident or tragedy during the president's arrival, according to an information revealed by president Buhari's personal photographer, Bayo Omoboriowo.

Seriously it's high time NA HQ starts showing us some operational videos.

People wouldn't apperreciate the extend of what they are doing; like these 1000 captives freed from BH enclaves. No video/picture .....

CaptainStephen:
I wish I could get you clearance and embed you into a unit involved in these clearance ops. just so you won't ever put up statements like this.

abiodunalasa:
So after disrupting enemy system thru electronic warfare, the Super Tucano cant still be used ?

"Designed to operate in high temperature and humidity conditions in extremely rugged terrain, the Super Tucano is highly maneuverable, has a low heat signature, and incorporates fourth-generation avionics and weapons systems to deliver precision-guided munitions"...

Boss you are making the beautiful bird look bad

The tucano is highly maneuver...... . Merely looking at the design I need no aerodynamic engineer to tell me it's high maneuver for air superiority.

Nothing stealthy about the Tucano, it's has zero capability for a air superiority contest. It is not designed and built for NFZ purpose.

abiodunalasa:
Chief, do you know that technically we are talking about the same thing when we talk about ; Contested Airspace, No Flight Zone NFZ, Sky Demilitarize Zone SDZ, Air Exclusion Zone AEZ

Now Chief, are you aware that in 2009 Nigerian airspace became a "Air Exclusion Zone" that lasted thru the Under 17 World Cup that was hosted here ? In which no bird could fly without adequate and rigorous permission.

Do you also know that it was same with South Africa during the 2010 FIFA World Cup ?

And do you as well know that it was same with 2012 Olympic in London ?

Now Chief, are you aware that Nigeria has throw in it weight over hosting rights of the next Under 20 FIFA World Cup?

Chief, if you still think that Nigeria ordered the Tucanos only for COIN, then I am afraid sir you have a tunnel vision.
And this tunnel vision is the difference between you here claiming wisdom on Nairaland and the Nigerian Air Force doing the real deal in real life
Good day Chief

Naaaaaao ...... for heaven these is way out of line.

The super tucano his the best aircraft for CION/border patroll and can carry out ISR mission on its own, in its class the tucano his the best.

For air space superiority and NFZ it's another thing entirely, you need more stealthy, fast with more advanced electronic supremely.

CION and NFZ aircrafts the tucano can't be used for both.
