Pls has anyone gotten any info about some of our upcoming indigenous military hardware like the SDB 3,Nigeria army helicopter NAFSA eagle Aircraft, and also is NAF and DEMFAS actually collaborating to build the N-ICON drone...

Love your spirit mate and your enthusiasm for indigenous military invention. But most of these hardware your asking for are just in there blueprint stage, it's going to take years before we start them or getting Info's about them.

From my research most of the video and images released by BHT are not recent.

SELF-RELIANCE: NAF TO PARTNER WOOLLEN AND SYNTHETIC TEXTILE MANUFACTURING LIMITED FOR LOCAL PRODUCTION OF UNIFORM FABRICS

In compliance with the Federal Government’s directive for the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) and other security agencies to patronise the Nigerian Cotton, Textile and Garment (CTG) Industry Sector, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is perfecting plans to partner with Woollen and Synthetic Textile Manufacturing Limited, Ikeja, for the local production of NAF uniform fabrics. In this regard, a team from Headquarters NAF, led by the Chief of Logistics, Air Vice Marshal Muhammed Yakubu, visited the Company, today, 16 July 2019, to inspect facilities at the factory as well as assess the capability of the Company for mass production of high quality NAF uniform fabrics. These fabrics, some of which were hitherto imported from abroad, would subsequently be sewn into NAF uniforms of various sizes at the NAF Investment Limited (NAFIL) Tailoring Workshop, Kaduna. It is expected that the NAF’s partnership with the Company, and others in the Nigerian CTG Industry, would further enhance the Nation’s self-reliance in terms of uniforms production whilst also boosting employment opportunities for Nigerians.

Your country defeated my country in a football match yesterday

Haaaaa thanks for bringing this up......
@Algerian1 it was so painful scoring us at the die-minutes with a super free kick coming from Mahrez . You guys ruined my day yester night.

Toju200:
God how come these ISWAP demons are able to carry out attack and our boys aren't doing anything......are y'all sure this is Nigeria or Niger cos I have seen this footage of the rocket launch on Niger airbase

ISWAP has been deploying and using GRAD rockets in Nigeria and Niger Republic for a very long time now.
In fact from the new images released it shows there is improvement in lunching the rockets.

ISWAP released photos from the attack in Marte back in June. It's not hard to assume this footage will be seen in a couple of months in one of the videos.

There are Improvements in the range of #ISWAP rockets in Nigerian fronts from ones used in Niger Republique.

move soldiers from other locations to hold them, we certainly have the manpower, we dont need more than 10, 000 soldiers for the whole operation, i am sure we can raise that, the fob's can even be dismantled temporary and they proceed to blocking positions and assault positions....., that basically is why they are called fob's

mind you, we are not going for the whole BHT, we just going to make sure, the camps we hit, at roughly the say time are almost wiped out......we just going to make a BOLD statement.

Mate let me tell you the bitter truth: the NA is over stretched
What you just narrated here is more complex and easy on the paper. A lot of complexity are involved, not a bad idea anyway.

The COAS should also renovate most of the buildings at the Ikeja cantonment.

The Army does not have much funds to splash on construction & renovation like the airforce..

Tobiloba2407:
we have over 150k soldiers, right? and the army has a logistics department right?

And what about the numbers of F.O.B, villages and towns to protect.
Just saying ?

Stephandeswardt:
c

If I was the force commander, I would be gathering troops and equipment right now......instead of enjoying the calm, i will enjoy the calm, after that big major blow...
And talking of herdsmen, arent herdsmen, meant to go back up north, during the rainy season, so they life stock dont get infected by certain insects that thrive in the south during raining season.

It's not a bad idea; you know BHT wouldn't want a standoff engagement with the NA.
And the idea of gathering troops for major offensive would leave our bases vulnerable.

PRESS RELEASE

UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE VIDEO CLIP NOT PART OF NIGERIAN MILITARY’S INVENTORY

The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a video clip-containing photograph of an alleged Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) bought by the Nigerian military. The clip was produced, uploaded by Njenje Media TV on its YouTube channel, and circulated through whatsApp and other social media platforms. In it, they showed a photograph of group of persons with the equipment, which they compared it to those ostensibly, owned by other nations including some of our African neighbours. This is far from the truth. Therefore, it should be disregarded in its entirety.

Apart from questioning the motive of this mischievous falsehood, it is imperative to state that the Nigerian military has far more sophisticated UAV and equipment than what the medium is broadcasting. This account for the tremendous success in the fight against terrorism, insurgency and banditry in the country. It will be recalled that the Nigerian Air Force has designed and produced far more superior and sophisticated UAVs and other platforms such as “Gulma” and “Tsaigumi” than what the medium was showing. Additionally, the Nigerian Army has just commissioned an aviation hangar in Jaji, Kaduna State for its Aviation Corps. Another hangar and runway in Bama, Borno State, are on the way where bigger and far more sophisticated UAVs will be deployed and used.

It is important to also state that the African countries mentioned in the clip are not in anyway compared to Nigeria in military technology, equipment and platforms as they do not have UAVs as alleged, rather an American military base on their soil.

Why is nobody asking why he isn't wearing a vest and his comms gear like they do when our soldiers pics come up here ?

Soldiers hate wearing those things

Yeah.....

Stephandeswardt:
Why is the north east too quiet, this isnt a good sign....I would advise our ISR platform to work extra, and troops put in blocking positions, and an a massive air strike package should be prepared, even in rotor and fixed wings need to be brought from outside Maiduguri, and human intelligence should be activated...... and a massive bombardment of fixed bht locations should be done the same day, at almost the same time, and troops move in for the kill, in this one major surprise attack, we can take out about 40% of BHT, and leave them demoralised.

I think after the consecutive defeats they've suffered with NA outpost they have decided to lay low for awhile, the raining season his not helping them also.
But trust me the airforce is not loosing it's guard.
