ARGENTINA SEEKS TO STRENGTHEN RELATIONS WITH NIGERIAN AIR FORCE

The Argentine Ambassador to Nigeria, Mrs Maria De Carmen Squeff, has expressed the willingness of Argentine Government to deepen the existing cordial relationship with the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) in relevant areas such as aircraft acquisition, training as well as surveillance and radar technology. This was revealed today, 28 February 2019, while on a courtesy visit to the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, at the Headquarters NAF, Abuja.

The Ambassador emphasized the strong desire of the Argentine Government to strengthen the relationship between the two countries beyond economic and political collaboration. She noted that Argentina, beyond being renowned for meat production and excelling in the game of football, among others, has over the years, developed significant capability in aircraft manufacturing and radar technology which has helped the country to better secure its land and maritime borders whilst also contributing immensely to the successes recorded in the area of agriculture. She explained that the NAF could explore the opportunities inherent in Argentina to strengthen Nigeria’s capability in surveillance and radar technology to further build on the successes so far recorded in the counter insurgency operations in the Northeast of the country.

In his response, the CAS thanked the Ambassador for offering the NAF such a great opportunity to improve on the relationship between the two countries while noting that the Service was always ready to explore all avenues to further professionalize and build needed capacity. This, he further explained, was the reason why the NAF had invested greatly in the training of its personnel not only locally, but also abroad in countries like the United States of America, Russia, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan and many others, to acquire the needed skills to perform their jobs more effectively. Air Marshal Abubakar expressed the willingness of the Service to explore the opportunities presented by Argentina and would make arrangements to send a team of NAF officers to visit manufacturing/maintenance facilities, production plants and military training institutions, amongst other places of interest, to assess the opportunities available in Argentina. He noted that the Government of Argentina could as well send a team of experts in relevant areas of competencies to engage with NAF specialists here in Nigeria.

BOKO HARAM: MNJTF DESTROYS BOKO HARAM LIFT CAPABILITY

In keeping with the resolve of the countries of the Lake Chad Basin Commission to deal decisively with the Boko Haram problem and in continuation of Operation YANCIN TAFKI which was launched by the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) recently, the Air Component of the MNJTF carried out air interdiction on Boko Haram assets as they emerged from one of their hide outs, around Dorou, west of Damasak, along the Kamadougou River in the boarder between Niger Republic and Nigeria.

During the attack 7 Boko Haram gun trucks, water tanker and other equipment like arms and ammunition and ration where destroyed, other vehicles were abandoned and have been recovered by troops. Several terrorists were neutralized, with some burnt beyond recognition. As at the time of issuing this Press Release, MNJTF troops were in pursuit of fleeing terrorists.

The MNJTF is determined to sustain the pressure until Boko Haram Terrorists are routed in their few remaining hide outs.

Please, disseminate this information to the general public.

Wallahi, that's the point I was trying to make earlier the guy is a badass. The Soviet surely will like to debrief the guy( he might just be an old Papa behind the sticks because it takes a whole lot of skills to do that unless the pilot in the F16 is a still a rookie).

I don't think they'll choose a rookie for such mission. That old man deserves a medal......

Odunayaw:
This whole thing just increased my disdain to Everest heights!!

There goes the invincibility of the F16

Honestly I just humble..... O
The almighty F16?

nemesis8u:
Different types of aircrafts were flying CAPs along the borders.

However the enemy was also observing the patrols and the patterns , so when they saw a gap of few minutes they moved in.

The first responder to reach the sector was the 2 MiG-21 Bisons which had scrambled from Srinagar base closest to the intrusion sector. Then another 2 MiG-21 Bisons and 2 mirage 2000 from other bases joined. Also 2 su30mki which was on CAP on the southern sector was routed to intercept the hostile jets.

So the first 2 MiG-21s which had scrambled were just in time to engage the now retreating hostiles.

The rest of the responders when they arrived stayed behind in their own airspace.

Now video is available of the dog fight
Plus also the video of the 2 pilots of the F16 ejecting.

Google it

Also the entire thing happened in a matter of less than 10 minutes.

Also a point to note is that for the first time in aerial combat history a MiG-21 bison had shot down a F-16D block 52 aircraft in a dog fight that too with a close combat R73 WVR AAM.

An old aircraft designed in the late 50s got into a merge with a modern fly by wire fighter says a lot about the skill of the pilot. And the pilot is originally a SU30MKI pilot who was recently transferred to the MIG-21 squadron.

The Soviets would have loved to see this.....

Help us with the video links, if you don't mind.

giles14:
I don't understand, why send the Mig 21 instead of the Su30,mig 29 or rafale to intercept the F-16.

Still contemplating the reason also

[BREAKING]

Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced Retired Air Vice Marshal, Tony Omenyi, to 7 years imprisonment!

Omenyi was sentenced for money laundering charges to the sum of N136 million which he was said to have received from a contractor with the Nigerian Air Force.�

Delivering judgment in the matter, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba sentenced Omenyi on the three counts preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

He sentenced the convict to seven years imprisonment on each of the three counts but ruled that the sentences should run concurrently.

The judge ordered that a company – Huzee Nigeria Limited – through which the convict was said to have received the bribe for the contract should be wound up by the Federal Government.

He also ordered that the sum of N62 million recovered from Omenyi by the EFCC be forfeited to the Federal Government.

NAF NAMES ANOTHER BUILDING AFTER LATE SQUADRON LEADER BABA-ARI

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) yesterday, 26 February 2019, commissioned and named another building after late Squadron Leader (Sqn Ldr) Muhammed Bello Baba-Ari, the NAF fighter pilot who died in an air mishap while participating in the aerial display rehearsals for the 58th Nigerian Independence Day Celebration. The new building, which is a block of six 3-bedroom flats for officers, is located at NAF Base Asokoro, Abuja. It was constructed by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and furnished by the NAF.

Speaking during the event, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, who was represented by the Chief of Administration, Headquarters NAF, Air Vice Marshal Kingsley Lar, stated that the current administration has been able to promote accommodation sufficiency from 45 per cent in 2015 to 70 per cent in 2019. The CAS noted that the 70 per cent accommodation sufficiency rate recorded within three and half years was achieved despite the fact that an unprecedented number of personnel, over 7,500 airmen/airwomen and 400 officers, had been recruited and enlisted respectively into the NAF within the period. He noted that efforts would be sustained to improve the level of accommodation sufficiency, as a way of motivating personnel to be more effective in the performance of their duties. He therefore thanked the MOD for contributing to NAF’s efforts at enhancing the welfare of its personnel. He also urged the beneficiaries to ensure that the accommodation is properly maintained.

Earlier in his remarks, the Commander 053 Headquarters NAF Camp, Air Commodore Abubakar Yusuf, thanked the CAS for always placing premium on the welfare of personnel. He noted that the CAS had executed several welfare-related projects in Abuja which had drastically reduced the accommodation challenges facing personnel.

It would be recalled that, as a mark of honour for the supreme price paid by Late Sqn Ldr Baba-Ari, the NAF, on 18 December 2018, named a newly commissioned Pilots’ Crew Room at the Headquarters Air Task Force (HQ ATF) Operation LAFIYA DOLE in Maiduguri after the late senior officer.

All old pictures of previous crashes , Google search the image u will know the truth itself, the social media etc are on a overdrive recycling old pics and videos for propaganda purpose

One Mi17 crashed yesterday due to technical problems , not related to combat .

Okay.

Probably that's the one I saw on TV.

nemesis8u:
6 F16 were approaching indian airspace , 5 MIG 21 scrambled to intercept them.

One F16 managed to launch a pgm , fell in open ground injuring a girl.

Mig21 chased them the 6 F16 into Pakistani airspace
One mig21 shot down 1 F16. However one mig21 crashed either shot down or due to technical problems.
Pilot captured by Pakistanis.

Anyways in the history of aerial warfare it is the first time a mig21 shot down a F16

The Pakistani as released there own side of the story the Indians hasn't made any official press release.
