Its even foolhardy to be worried about the armed forces commitment. A blog isn't a pressure group

Make una leave beeg o. He probably lost passion for it and there it was. Wasn't exactly inspiring then with the lacklustre commitment from the armed forces in regards to purchase, modernisation and all that.

Still bits of blogs out there, love Peccavi's analysis and checking out the photos or news about Nigerian armed forces in this section.

Even without the commitment of the armed forces, the audience we gave him would drive and make that blog a money making venture and yet serve its purpose.

NIGERIAN ARMY LAUNCHES BOOKS ON CURRICULUM FOR BASIC CRITICAL THINKING, SELF-AWARENESS AND JUDGEMENT

The Chief of Army Staff, Nigerian Army, Lieutenant General TY Buratai, has on Wednesday 20th September 2017, launched 3 books on Critical Thinking written by Colonel Charles Dalo Nengite, as part of efforts to enhance the capacity of Nigerian Army’s personnel in creativity and innovation in the application of Critical Thinking. The launching was part of the activities at the just concluded Chief of Army Staff’s Combined Second and Third Quarter Conference 2017 which took place from 18th-20th September 2017 at the Army Headquarters Command Officers’ Mess Abuja.

While unveiling the 3 books; “Curriculum for Basic Critical Thinking and Judgement”, “Curriculum for Self-Awareness in Critical Thinking and Judgement” and “Curriculum for Advanced Critical Thinking and Judgement”, as well as “Curriculum for Self-Awareness in Critical Thinking and Judgement Workbook”, Lieutenant General TY Buratai, who was represented by Major General Chris Jemitola, Chief of Policy and Plans (Army) at the occasion, said top military and management experts have rated Critical Thinking as the most important skill set for the complex strategic environment of the 21st century. He said the books are invaluable to the cultivation of an improved process for decision making especially for future wars which are not necessarily won by those with superior weaponry but possibly by those who have the ability to be creative and innovative in the application of Critical Thinking.

The Chief of Army Staff further stated that it is now a fact that the adversaries being engaged by most militaries are becoming wiser and more unpredictable. Therefore, to be ahead of them, militaries must ensure they have an adaptive mindset that is realistic, open and unassuming, which no doubt requires the need to be aware of biases, logical fallacies and assumptions. Thus, he said, the concept of Critical Thinking is a necessity for future leaders of which the Nigerian Army is poised to be in the vanguard of the learning.

He commended the author for finding the time to write and published the books, which he described as innovative and enjoined officers take advantage of the knowledge contained in the books to improve their knowledge and capacity. He also challenged them to also write books for the benefit of the Nigerian Army and the society.

Reviewing the books earlier, Brigadier General Charles Ofoche, who is also Director of Studies at the Army War College, Nigeria, said the world order is under constant threats and therefore some military strategists are of the opinion that military officers should have a change of mindset and mental model to successfully operate in the volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environment. He said to achieve this, Critical Thinking is a valuable tool in this regard.

Brigadier General Ofoche further noted that the books were built on Professor Steven Gerras’ approach to learning Critical Thinking and judgement which hinges on 3 cardinal points. The first is to create the need through examples and common Critical Thinking mistakes in our daily lives. The second is to provide the basic knowledge of the concept and the gap in the thinking process. While the final point is to practice the concept in real life or simulated situations.

It would be recalled that the author, Colonel Charles Dalo Nengite attended the United States Army War College and did the nation proud when he bagged 6 Distinguished Awards and Honours, as well as the Chief of Army Staff’s Commendation Award back home.

Once again, a Western weapon knocks down Russian equipment. Just saying it in passing.

According to CNN, the Navy Super Hornet locked onto the Su-22 Fitter at a range of 1.5 miles. The Super Hornet launched an AIM-9X, and the Syrian pilot loosed flares to lure the infrared guided missile away from his fighter. The trick worked, and the American missile missed. The Super Hornet then launched an AMRAAM missile which, using radar guidance, is unaffected by flares. This time the Fitter went down.

newafricaken254:
off topic :moment before a syrian SU-22 jet fitter was turned into a fire ball,when a F-18E jet locked on it .then launched a AIM-120 beyond vision range AAM. multiple F-18E jets used their ATFLIR (Advanced Targeting Forward Looking Infra Red) pod filmed the moment the SU-22 fitter jet was locked on,hit and turned into a fireball

 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko2X34sN8BI

Why would you compare an F-18E with an SU-22. That would not be a fiar comparison .

How ever it was not the F-18E missile that brought down the SU-22.


How Did a 30-Year-Old Jet Dodge the Pentagon's Latest Missile?

The AIM-9X Sidewinder failed to bring down an aging attack jet.

By now you've probably heard that a U.S. fighter shot down a Syrian jet about a week ago. What you might not know is that before the F/A-18E hit its target, it missed–and it missed with the best, newest U.S. missile.

On June 18, just moments after a Syrian Arab Air Force Su-22 attacked Coalition forces, a U.S. Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet strike fighter rolled into a firing position and opened fire. The Super Hornet locked onto the Su-22 "Fitter" and launched the Military's most advanced short-range air-to-air missile, which promptly missed. While the plane was eventually brought down by another, different missile, the question remains: why did the AIM-9X Sidewinder miss?
