COUNTER TERRORISM: General Shaibu Declares Counter Terrorism Practitioner Course Open In a bid to frustrate the employment of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) by terrorists in the North East Theatre of Operations, The Theatre Commander Joint Task Force (JTF) North East (NE) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), Maj Gen W Shaibu declared open a Counter Terrorist Search Practitioner Course, organized by the British Military Advisory Training Team (BMATT) today 12 February 2024, at Maimalari Cantonment Maiduguri. Gen Shaibu while remarking said, IEDs have become the most potent weapon used by terrorists in their misadventures in the NE, adding that the menace of the device has unfortunately remained despite concerted efforts by troops and partners over time. He averred that the training was tailored towards equipping all arms personnel with the necessary skills and knowledge required to participate in low - risk combat search task to help in safely detecting IEDs, urging them to be committed, dedicated and purposeful as they go through the course, so as to come out better informed on safe detection of IEDs. He equally charged them to make the course a worthy endeavour to save lives of troops and civilians in their area of responsibilities. Gen Shaibu used the medium to express his gratitude to the BMATT for their efforts in the training, the Theatre Training Officer, 47 Engineer Brigade, as well as staff officers for ensuring the course came to fruition. In attendance were the Acting GOC 7 Division and Commander Sector 1 OPHK Brig Gen AGL Haruna, Component Commanders, staff officers from Headquarters Theatre Command and 7 Div, Programme Manager Operation TURUS Stephen Mockett and team of instructors from BMATT.

kabe1: That's true i agree but time changes, what about China. For now the best thing is get more JF-17s. |

MiddleDimension: I dont get your point ? What aim saying is we should get aircrafts for power projection but for now we can improve the numbers of JF-17 thunders. [/b]To your question; "the Su-57 opts for a more traditional canted tail and horizontal stabilizers, the Su 75 Checkmate instead features a ruddervator that with fewer surfaces. It would presumably be stealthier than a conventional tail assembly and it was designed to be a light weight fighter aircraft"[b] |

Lurker4Long: For me we still need more assets; especially male UAV, long endurance UAV/spy UAV, [/b]transport & logistic aircraft both for logistics/transport for fixes wings and rotary aircraft[b] Not e need more fighter aircrafts for power projection; probably the JF thunder block lll and in the nearest future su 75s/Su 35s or better still go for a stealthier aircraft. |

kabe1: Can we boast of 20 Male UAV at every stand up time ? We need long endurance UAV in the North central/west and other theatres to combat kidnapping/Bandits. For fighter jets and trainers, I think we are good. Has for the power projection both the upgraded and jf-17 are still in 3rd generation for me. @Kabe I want to see an airforce that can compete or get close to the likes of Egypt and Algeria etc I believe we can achieve and we have the purchasing power. This is just my own take. Has for Faithfull007 I totally agree with him; during Retrd Air Marshal Sadique Baba Abubakar tenure we saw alot of investing in training of NCO/COs but has time goes it declined over the years. I miss that man's administration, His still my best service chief we ever had in recent time. I don't know if the force are still training more SOF/PANTHERS, the rate of training and standardization was rapidly improving then. Anyways the NAF is on the right track and direction, Rome was not built in a day. Am proud of what the airforce has achieved so far. 1 Like |

GabrielYulaw: production of the vipers has started already and will be getting all the birds by June/July this year. For the T129 there is probability we might go for more and we might just stick to that only 5 units. I think the reason why NAF went for the T129 was because we where not getting any missiles for the AHZ viper. 2 Likes |

UK DEPUTY DEFENCE CHIEF COMMENDS NIGERIAN ARMY’S COMMITMENT TO PEACE AND STABILITY IN AFRICA The United Kingdom (UK) Deputy Chief of Defence Staff, Lieutenant General Sir Roly Walker has lauded the Nigerian Army (NA) for its significant role in maintaining peace and stability in Africa and the West African Subregion. The Defence Chief gave the commendation today, Tuesday 6 February 2024 during his visit to the Army Headquarters, Abuja. General Walker appreciated the NA’s steadfast commitment to peacekeeping efforts across the continent, highlighting its pivotal role in addressing regional security challenges and the need for collaborative efforts to address persistent security concerns. Speaking on the upcoming security and defence dialogue between the UK and Nigeria, General Walker expressed the commitment of United Kingdom to strengthening partnership with the Nigeria Army and reaffirmed continued support for initiatives aimed at enhancing regional security and stability. Responding, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), appreciated the harmonious working relationship between the two armies and the contribution of the British Military Advisory and Training Team (BMATT) which he said, has been of immense assistance to the NA in the fight against terrorism and insurgency. The Army Chief also acknowledged the supporting role of BMATT to the NA, especially in the area of capacity development. He noted that this has significantly upscaled the role of the NA in the fight against terrorism in Nigeria and the subregion. The COAS pledged that the NA will entrench its relationship with the UK and expand the frontiers for mutual cooperation in order to achieve shared security objectives.
