Wouldn't make sense to send your entire fighter fleet on a bombing mission and leave your country defenseless.

If we were to do a bombing run.....in Angola for example we'll probably send our Hawk with Gripen as escort, One Gripen would fly near it's service ceiling with it's Radar on full power then sending that picture to the the remaining Hawk and Gripen whos radars are off thus rendering them almost invisible on enemy Radar.
Joke of the century! See kids playing on the internet. SAAF in it's current state attack Angola. These are the people who think just having a frontline fighter is what makes an Air Force. Angola will so teach you that it is not a paper tiger.

a source is not something you make up......post a source/citation to back up your claims.
I am your citation.

However in due course you will have verifiable proof it exists not only among the NNSBS but other elements of Nigeria's Armed Forces.

So how do you know if its classified?
Because I know and I owe you no explanation. I don't work for you. I know my allegiance.

Source pls
The NNSBS is SEAL qualified for the full-spectrum of all special Ops in any terrain or weather. They are the best in this region. No one comes close. That I can tell you. Except someone leaks something I have no official source for you since much of what they do is officially classified.

How is it a dumb question? since the Navy SEALs is an American unit and not a Nigerian one!
It is a dumb question since you've answered it yourself. But then you turn a blind eye to save face.

Earlier I told you the NNSBS regime of training involves months of SEAL team qualification. You don't get the NNSBS badge without SEAL level qualification and that includes HAHO/HALO, submarine operations and under water demolitions and combat etcetera. The NNSBS also incorporates courses for qualification not only peculiar to the US Navy SEALS.

And what is all this HAHO/HALO noise about: the difference being the use of oxygen mask in seconds of exit at some 30,000 feet so that the operator don't get asphyxiated. It is not rocket science though rare.

Hopefully not for my sake wink naahhh just joking would be awesome to see some pics and it would be great if what you are saying is in deed true since only a few in Africa have that capability!!

So what's rare about it?

To my knowledge only 2(possibly 3) countries in Sub-Sahara have HAHO/HALO capability and Nigeria is not one of them....unless you can prove Nigeria those in deed have a HAHO/HALO capable unit.
NNSBS regime involves months of training for SEAL capability qualification which includes HAHO/HALO. That's the much I can say.

It does exist in Nigeria. It is rare.

You know what I am talking about. I am talking about Military and not Paramilitary.

What a reply...
Terribly sry.

I'm a busy man making quick intermittent replies at the moment. Within the military' special forces units the Tavor is widely used. It is also used by other security agencies like the DSS. It has a high rate of fire of about a thousand rounds per min...most specifics are public knowledge you can google it up.

Oh the irony grin grin grin grin

At least the bolded is true....unlike the rest of your post!!
I'm sure you got the gist to understand the truth. So jumping around like a John Rambo or James Bond in a film is not the same thing as being the real James Bond in real life.

Bro,why is it that all Nigerian Special Forces I have both met and seen use the same types of rifle, the Tavor?
Not all Nigerian Special Forces use the Tavor as their dedicated personal weapon but most do. It depends on which special forces unit you met. Their are special forces and their are SpecialForces even the NSCDC have their own special forces.

Yeah i know its not rare in my country hence i said " its not rare"

Our Recces,Paras,Pathfinders,Submarine Parachute Action Group and 4 Medical Battalion are all HAHO/HALO qualified meaning they can jump from over 35000 feet.
I know some units exist in your country that can do that but I also know not too many countries have units that can do that. And 35,000 feet depends on many factors.

About the 10,000 feet it was done in bad weather not meaning they don't do HAHO/HALO but you see that day we weren't invading Gabon and I was specific about where it happened.

Didn't @patches689/@patchesagain destroy you on the other thread when you made more or less the same ridiculous claims as above.....see you haven't learn your lesson?
You should be better than this. No one can destroy the truth. What I write here or there are historical facts.

That you and your co-traveler will throw caution to the wind and peddle cooked up stories everyone knows is untrue doesn't mean I'll resort to the same shenanigans.

Honour is the first thing I'm thought to imbibe so sorry the truth is self-evident as you see in my posts.

Perhaps you want me to repeat myself I'd gladly oblige you on the incapacity and incapability of your military to get anything done down south or in Middle Africa which is why Kabila for example is still holding forth, a thing like that not here in good old Naija hegemonic sphere of influence.

So when you start winning we might have a tete-a-tete. Right now Nigeria & SA are not equals.

Meanwhile with all the noise and no action translated on to a real-life battle situation from military pretenders who could do nothing about Zimbabwe, DRC, Burundi, Madagascar and has left the SADC drifting with totalitarian semantics—The Nigerian Air Force along with it's sister services the Army and Navy are getting the job done with proven assets from Africa's most extensive satellite capability to Africa's most sophisticated ISR capability to unmanned precision strike capability and sustained Air-RECCE & Interdiction in real-life battle spaces through direct military intervention and or military diplomacy/gunboat diplomacy (show of force/threat of the use of force) to get hardened dictators and non-state actors to acquiesce and capitulate to do Abuja's bidding as we saw in The Gambia and elsewhere in furtherance of Nigeria's national security imperatives which centerpiece is peace and security of the homeland and continent of Africa.

The Nigerian Air Force under Sadique Baba Abubakar has shown immense professionalism hitherto un-heard off south of the Sahara.

Encomiums have been pouring in, to bring NAF back to the glory days of the 80's, Sadique Abubakar needs to serve for life.

I love what i'm seeing. Today we have a force that deploys Nigerian made vehicles.
I concur wholeheartedly

The NAF & Nigeria's Armed Forces
My Take: I can say with all sense of conviction the NAF is currently back to it's glory days. The next focus should be to exceed that.

For the Nigerian Armed Forces as a whole I dare say it is currently the African Military relatively akin to NATO standards in leadership, kit, preparedness and proficiency.
