They've called off a retaliation for now. If this was a fighter jet with a pilot, they would have retaliated for sure.

However what this shooting down has show is, Iran has the capacity to defend itself and any battle with Iran would be bloody.

Even if it does lead to regime change in Iran, a military operation in Iran by the US, it would lead to an insurgency in Iran, which would most likely lead to a military defeat for the Americans.

The good part for us would be an increase in the price of crude, which might hit 200 dollars per barrel.

THE ARMY GENERALS WHO MADE NIGERIA PROUD ABROAD: This was in Monrovia, August 1996 and Major-General John Mark Inienger (right) was handing over to Major-General Victor Malu (left) as the Commander, ECOMOG Peacekeeping Force, Liberia.

John Mark Inienger (1945–2002) was a Nigerian Army major general who served as ECOMOG field commander in Liberia, governor of Bendel State at a time when Lawrence Anini was terrorizing the whole region (now Edo and Delta States) between 1985 and 1987, during the military administration of General Ibrahim Babangida, and commander of the Brigade of Guards responsible for protecting the President.

In May 1999, the military handed over to the civilian government headed by Olusegun Obasanjo. Within a month, the new government ordered that all officers who had served in the military government for more than six months must retire. Inienger was among 100 officers affected by this decision. Inienger died on 8 February 2002 while travelling by car from Jos to Makurdi, he was just 56. Malu was a diabetic and he died on 9 October 2017 at the age of 70. Both are of Tiv extraction from Benue State and are two of the most legendary generals in the Nigerian Army.

THE UNFORGETTABLE GENERAL MALU WHO REGRETTED NOT OVERTHROWING HIS COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF: Lt. General Victor Samuel Leonard Malu (15 January 1947 – 9 October 2017) was Nigeria's Chief of Army Staff (COAS) from 1999 to 2001 under the Obasanjo presidency & Force Commander of the ECOMOG peace-keeping force in Liberia from 1996, this photo wast taken in 1996 in Monrovia where Malu was posing with his gallant officers (he is the one holding the military swagger stick).

It was under General Malu that Odi was levelled with no mercy & Timaya had to sing about it. At the time of the February 1976 coup when General Olusegun Obasanjo took power, Malu was chief instructor of the Nigerian Military School, Zaria. Later, he chaired the tribunal that tried General Oladipo Diya & other officers for attempting to overthrow the Sani Abacha regime in 1997.

As ECOMOG Commander Malu impressed both Liberians & international observers, by March 1997 he was able to claim that Liberia was completely cleared of land mines. He fell out with Liberian President Charles Taylor, who in April 1998 accused him of trying to run a parallel government.

Malu was appointed Chief of Army Staff in May 1999 at the start of President Olusegun Obasanjo's administration and was dismissed in April 2001. Later, Malu said he warned President Olusegun Obasanjo to guard against American involvement in the nation's affairs, saying they were only aiming to further their own interests. He claimed that it was because the Americans disliked his views that Obasanjo fired him before the signing of the Nigerian-United States Military Cooperation Agreement.

In July 2005 Malu complained that the government was persecuting him. He said SSS seized his passport. He also said that his military service records had been declared missing & he was not getting fair treatment over his pension. In January 2006 he caused controversy when he spoke at a meeting of the Arewa Consultative Forum in Kaduna, saying he regretted not having overthrown Obasanjo's government while he was COAS. The president's Public Affairs Assistant, Femi Fani-Kayode, said Malu’s statement was treasonable.

In September 2008 Malu, a diabetic, went into a coma & was rushed to Lagos University Teaching Hospital where he was placed on life support in the intensive care unit. Later he was transferred to a hospital in London, and after treatment for stroke was discharged from hospital to his Central London home in April 2009. Malu died on 9 October 2017 at the age of 70. #NigerianMilitaryHistory

COUNTER INSURGENCY: NAF GRADUATES ANOTHER SET OF STUDENT PILOTS FROM AB-INITIO FLYING TRAINING

In furtherance of its sustained efforts to boost the capacity of its personnel for enhanced professional performance in combating insurgency and other forms of criminality in the country, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has graduated another batch of 26 Ab-initio student pilots, including 4 female officers. The graduation ceremony, which took place today, 20 June 2019 at 401 Flying Training School (401 FTS), Kaduna saw 16 students pilots graduating on the Diamond 40 aircraft and 10 on the Super Mushshak aircraft types.

Speaking at the occasion, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, represented by the Commandant, Air Traffic Services Training Centre, Air Vice Marshal Haruna Mohammed, recalled how flying training in the NAF plummeted to its lowest ebbs in the 90s owing to a myriad of challenges ranging from unavailability of training platforms to logistics support related issues. He however revealed that from mid-2006 to date, successive NAF administrations had endeavoured to rejuvenate flying training in the NAF. He acknowledged the efforts of the CAS whose diligence to build adequate capacity in the NAF had materialized into the production of an unprecedented number of pilots, with 92 new pilots winged in the last 4 years. He further disclosed that since the inception of the current NAF leadership, the NAF had acquired 10 brand new Super Mushshak aircraft and upgraded facilities at 401 FTS to boost ab-initio flying training. AVM Mohammed urged the graduands to sustain the attitude of rugged determination that carried them through ab-initio training to the next phase of their flying training whilst continuing to work hard to reach the zenith of their careers.

Earlier in his welcome address, the Commander 401 FTS, Air Commodore Enebong Effiom, disclosed that this was the first time that the school was graduating students on 2 aircraft types at the same time since its inception. He stated that the school had trained 114 student pilots, comprising 86 students on the Diamond 40 aircraft and 28 on the Super Mushshak aircraft, in the last 4 years. He attributed the success and commendable achievements of the Unit to the visionary leadership, unwavering support and enabling environment created by the CAS.

The course, which lasted for 17 months, consisted of 3 phases; namely ground academics, survival training and flying phase. Highlight of the ceremony was the presentation of awards to students who distinguished themselves during the training. Flying Officer Abdussamad Sadiq was the Best in Academics while Flying Officer Godwin Owoicho was the Best in Flying on Super Mushshak aircraft and Flying Officer Emmanuel Thomas was Best in Flying on Diamond 40 aircraft. Flying Officer Sarah Gbassa was the Best All Round, having distinguished herself in academics, flying, discipline and officership. Commandants and Commanders of NAF Units in Kaduna, family members and friends of the graduating students graced the occasion.

It's coming out nice...
I can see female officers inspecting also, interesting.

DaV8King:
It is bro.

In a year, the countries I mentioned spend no less than US$ 700 million................just on maintaining existing US platforms.

Before any fresh procurement.

Now look at how long it took us to procure platforms for US$ 600 million.

Size is relative, and my point is Nigeria ain't buying her size.

If FGN came up with a complete integrated system purchase for US$ 5 billion, Trump will come to Abuja and sign.

DaV8King:
Because the money is small.

When your mates like Egypt, UAE, Saudi, Chile and India typically make minimum order of US$ 1 billion for new weapons systems, you are coming to disturb them with US$600 million for Tucano.

On top corruption.

And after the whole country has fought about and given their opinion on the expenditure.

Of course they will run.

Like nemesis said, rules are hoes!!

Besides, IMO Obama had a twisted hatred for Nigeria. So that played it's role too.

Dude you're so so funny...... .....

You call a contract of over $600M a small one..

#Libya- (*still unverified*) photos circulating on social media purportedly showing Pantsir S-1/SA-22 Greyhound air defense system delivered to the #LNA.

If this is confirmed it would be a huge development.

Nigerian Soldier Rejoices His Survival After Bullet Penetrates His Sweater But Not His Body




A soldier serving in Azare, Yobe state, survived an attack this morning and took to Facebook to share the good news on 28th NOV 2018. https://www.withinnigeria.com/2018/11/02/nigerian-soldier-rejoices-his-survival-after-bullet-penetrates-his-sweater-but-not-his-body/

SLBMS:
For years I wrote dozens of articles on an invasion of Nigeria. I wrote about why Nigeria is being surrounded by military bases. You laughed me to scorn. Some called me a deluded francophob with twisted ideas. It's happening now and it's too late to stop it.

Too late to stop what..... ?
France and Chad invading Nigeria...?
What is now happening?

jpphilips:
You know, after operation Barras, NA returned from Sierra Leone with a cover story still widely believed by most Nigerians till date, do you sincerely believe that your denial tactics and Ostrich posture surprises me? you merely inherited it , lets enjoy the pics.

This was your initial shit..... And now this .....


[b]I dont expect you to be smart enough to understand that what is happening now have wider implications, with ISWAP having photo sessions with our trucks, APCs, mortar and SF rifles, it means that Nigeria and the whole of Sahel region is at a huge risk of foreign invasion.
This is how it will play out;

Nigeria with its huge population will continue supplying fighters in droves for ISWAP, hitting military targets monthly will continuously supply them with arms & equipments, stolen APC's will make subsequent hits easier (already playing out), it's just a matter of time, their operations will grow beyond the NE, stretch into the NW to connect the Lower Sahel, to continue feeding and raising funds through Jizya tax, Kano will go but im certain they won't want to push southwards but northwards for obvious reasons.

I hear the ignorant arguement of ISWAP wishing to control territories, they learnt some lessons in the Arabian peninsula and will not make that mistake again, for west africa, its a mobile force with capability to take out government presence and take control of civil rule, extorting businesses and civilians, any attempt to dislodge them will be met with stiff resistance from nowhere after which they disperse and become civilians once again, several intels have confirmed this.

You may argue that you stand a chance of taking out their equipments with air strikes, make no mistakes, with the last attempt to capture an MLRS, all its rockets were taken, so far, ISWAP is utilizing those rockets in an improvised fashion, you still cant guess the end of this road? they are coming for our Roland it is just a matter of time, how effective will our airforce be afterwards?

The next phase will be consolidating their gains by taking control of businesses, factories, industries in controlled regions, that will get the attention of the security council who won't wish them to be more financially capable but first of all sanction Nigeria with an arms embargo for aiding ISWAP, Nigeria becomes glaringly inefficient and helpless that will be the only justification they need to invade Nigeria and closely expand their global reach.
The Sahel region has a lot of uranium deposits, the security council will never allow any of it to fall into ISWAP's hands even if it means destroying Nigeria, with these interests at the back of our minds, gentlemen, they are coming.

Denying the realities of the next decade is not in anyone's interest except you dont stay in Nigeria, what must be done is report this situation to the security council and log it in as a growing global threat to be countered, Nigeria must swallow her pride and request for an arms recovery taskforce, a pocket size modern foreign special forces & equipments mixed with our guys that are good enough and monitored by the security council, their objective will be to recover or destroy anything these guys take, it could be a one nation action plan or a coalition of nations.

Our guys in foreign affairs are not making this move now because the military consistently lives in denial, we always argue if the CIC is onboard of this development. What is happening in Nigeria has serious global consequences.
You can not do anything in Foreign Affairs if the guys on ground keeps pushing out pleasant narratives, the time to act is now.

Nigeria has almost contracted out her infrastructure to China to the extent that 50% of our recurrent expenditure go to them, our guys in Foreign affairs can bring this deal to china already looking for a launch pad to protect her vast interest in Africa, this could be the deal China is waiting for, by limiting it to a task force, CAATSA provisions will not be violated & Nigeria's interest in the SC protected.

This proposal will have serious political consequence no doubt but I bet it's nothing compared to the political consequence of a UN arms embargo and western invasion. we must choose the less of both evil.

God bless Nigeria!!![/b]

You are so clueless and delusional that you can't even explain the implications to yourself.

SamuelAnyawu:
