are these recent pics from NE?

They are recent pictures but not N.E.

Y'all know that that 1 billion usd supplemental spending on military hardware is trapped in the senate while APC and PDP perform drama for us in the senate ?

These fools are so unpatriotic, they wouldn't even seize fire, agree to take care of national security issues, then resume politicking.

So in the mean time, not a dime extra would be spent on critically necessary weapons, and BHTS would continue to get the better of our troops.

I saw a posting on the general thread on nairaland, about buratai going apeshit about soldiers running from the enemy and not standing their ground until death. ( I was waiting for it to be reposted on this thread, so I could comment amongst military enthusiasts.)

An angry officer responded to COAS, accusing them of not buying any weapons since colonel dasuki's last purchase of used equipment.

Seriously

How much was released during Dasuki's and how much is been released to M.B. Monguno has present National security adviser. The former NSA spent funds on the Army; buying a 2nd hand T72 for the price of 3 units of T90 etc...

And the present NSA is spending much on the NAF judiciously now. It's not COAS fault, there is little he can do

Field0Marshall:
Pls how do Nigerian soldiers call themselves?.
For example the U.S marines call themselves marines, US army Rangers call themselves rangers. So how do our own guys call themselves

Don't mixed it up...

US marines call themselves marines and you are right by that. But the US army ranger(is a specialised light army/elite airborne used for special operations) under the US army arm.

Airfare
Army
Navy
Marine corps
and Coast guards.

So that leads us to what do the general US ARMY call there selves

G.I's ;-https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._(military)

The NA don't really have a way or general name they call each other.

But there is these Oorah/Hooah, Often used as a form of acknowledgment or greeting.

jakeporeshenko:
very interesting from IHFS website, Never knew certain NAF pilots train on both fixed and rotatory Wing aircrafts.

Impressive.

ugo4u:
I know both men personally, yea they do even the former Rector who is now the GOC in kaduna(Air Commodore Yahaya) has intimidating flying CV, some had their initial ratings on fixed wings and switched over to rotorcrafts as need popped up, all of them are professionals to the core I must tell you. As for Oga Laha (Man in pic2) I will never forget the barrage of fire he gave me on my first day of have a one on one encounter with him.

jakeporeshenko:
Nah just kidding, I think they are from NMS or something.

Okay.....

jakeporeshenko:
NA child soldiers

Seriously ....

You ain't serious

lionel4power:
The libyans have their own fighting style.



I watched an Al Jazeera documentary on the Libya war. Libyan fighters usually go with their house helps to serve them tea during fighting. Sometimes the house help holds the extra ammo and equipment.


Some even take their wives to the front lines. Apart from fvcking ISIS, Libyans fight like gentlemen.

Laughter is killing me right here

lionel4power:
Street combat... LIBYAN STYLE


Pic 1) when your drug boss is also your commanding office

Pic 2) 1 salute for anybody that knows the graffiti on the wall...... . #tuft war

jakeporeshenko:

INDIGENOUS AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE CAPABILITY GETS BOOST AS NAF SUCCESSFULLY CONDUCTS IN-HOUSE 400 HOURS INSPECTION ON F-7 AIRCRAFT

Instituting a robust maintenance culture for the sustenance of platforms and equipment serviceability is an important part of the policy thrust of the current Leadership of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF). This imperative has received another boost with the successful in-house conduct of 400 hours scheduled maintenance inspection on an F-7 fighter trainer aircraft by engineers and technicians of the 131 Engineering Group (131 Engr Gp) Makurdi. This was revealed yesterday, 7 August 2018, when the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, conducted an operational visit to NAF Base Makurdi, and the proposed site for the 21 Quick Response Wing (21 QRW) in Agatu, Benue State. The CAS, who was accompanied by other senior officers from NAF Headquarters, was received by the Air Officer Commanding Tactical Air Command, Air Vice Marshal Oladayo Amao.

While briefing the CAS, the Commander 131 Engr Gp, Air Commodore Pius Oahimire, stated that the conduct of such a high level maintenance inspection by NAF personnel, without foreign assistance, was a historic achievement. He noted that the feat had only been made possible through the current NAF Leadership’s intensive human capacity development initiatives which had empowered the technicians with the necessary skills and confidence to do the job. He therefore thanked the CAS for creating the enabling environment that facilitated the realization of the feat including the provision of necessary resources and approval of special allowances for the aircraft technicians involved in the inspection. Speaking further, the Commander stated that the in-house inspection had cost the NAF N3 Million; whereas over N30 Million would have been required if done by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or an external maintenance repair facility. The 400 hours scheduled inspection was completed in 3 weeks and involved the removal, servicing, testing and re-installation of the aircraft engine and other major components.

During the operational visit, the CAS also inspected the water treatment facility in NAF Base Makurdi which was being renovated and expanded to improve water supply to residents. The on-going work, now at about 75 per cent completion, involved increasing the reservoir capacity from 450,000 cubic litres to 1.35 Million cubic litres as well as overhaul of surface supply tanks and replacement of reticulation pipes. When completed, water supply to the Base would be boosted by over 100 per cent. The CAS later proceeded to Agatu to inspect ongoing renovation work at the proposed base site for the 21 QRW, where he expressed satisfaction with the progress and gave further directives on additional works to be done. The 21 QRW was established to enhance NAF’s response capabilities in dealing with internal security threats along the Benue-Nasarawa corridor. Before departing from Makurdi, Air Marshal Abubakar held a fruitful interactive session with officers, airmen and airwomen of NAF units in Makurdi. The CAS and other senior officers have since returned to Abuja.

kudos to the brave heart for their sacrifices
but no body armour, no ballistic helmet.

no even proper means of transportation.

Every NA soldier in any theatre are been issued with bullet proof vest & ballistic helmet. Most soldiers choose ie prefer not to wear them sometimes; it's individual opinion or choice.

The only thing I don't like is the way we transport troops.

As far as war is concerned just 4get those Israelis they are on a class of their own.

When you are so tiny and surrounded with enemies. You have no options than to inconcate the art of war .

ugo4u:
The Russian Sukhoi 37 features thrust vectoring and a radical forward swept wing design, a major competitor to the General dynamics made F-22.

You mean Sukhoi 47 (Berkut)

Why didn't the Russian go into serial production, it never materialized The sole aircraft produced served as a technology demonstrator prototype for a number of advanced technologies later used in the 4.5 generation fighter SU-35BM and current fifth-generation jet fighter Sukhoi Su-57.

So Egyptians have fleets of Apache and fleets of Ka-52.

Read the scriptures well they where even bossed up then, they where a super power then.
