A Nigerian Air Force Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 surveillance aircraft made a gear-up landing on the grass to the right of runway 18R at Lagos-Murtala Muhammed International Airport.

Our pilots are really top notch professionals. Landing on a grass with the belly. Isn't this the second time this is happening without the the plane going up in flames from friction??

Egypt is definitely not going to like this. All hell is going to let loose if this is not handled properly.

The Nigerian Air Force says the Federal Government is working towards taking delivery of the 12 AH-1Z cobra attack helicopters being procured from the United States. The Federal Government had paid about $1bn for the helicopters to combat insecurity.

The spokesperson for NAF, Commodore Ayodele Famuyiwa, told our correspondent in a telephone interview on Thursday that the equipment would assist the military in fighting insecurity.

Ohh so the Nigerian govt is still striving to get them despite the army been falsely accused of human rights violations and carrying out forced abortion campaigns ?? What a shame...

MRAPS, MRAPS, MRAPS. Just as the army of Chad is known as Toyota Army, at this point I think the Nigerian Army will be regarded as MRAP Army.

1st pic on display is for the NA and 2nd for NPF

Seriously, Sniper MRAP?? We need to work on our weapons naming skills in Nigeria. That's a weird name to give these beautiful armoured vehicles.

Meanwhile in the DRC

So any update yet on the launching or commissioning of the second Warrior class MMIPV??
Is the SA Navy is still interested in the Damen Stan 1800 Patrol vessel now that funds are available??

Wow, I have been around for a decade

Happy 10-Year Anniversary to me! 🥂🥂

Here's to a veteran who has witnessed the good, bad and ugly side of life in this Nairaland online-verse and the tragedy and comedy of online civil warfare on this military thread.Faithful to nairaland for 10 years despite all the psychological, emotional damages from vawulence, now that's one hell of a tough, unbroken spirit you've got in you.
Many are willing but a few make it(May the soul of Kikuyu1 rest in perfect peace and he be admitted into the ranks of the righteous souls😔).
Cheers boss🍻😁

And this, gentlemen is how the US created the Taliban and kick started terrorism.

BTW, heard anything about Botswana looking at 15 Tejas?

LMAO . I'm sure they are just looking at the jet for admiration sake, nothing more.

Is that a JF-17 aircraft beside the HAL Tejas or are my eyes deceiving me??

Thanks for clearing him up. He's making it look like State Dept is going about threatening countries that won't buy from us with economic sanctions.

He does not know the difference between FMS & ITAR restrictions and economic sanctions.

You might want to look this up

Just last week;
Angola purchases landing vessel
Angola purchases missile armed Corvette

Now this week;
BREAKING NEWS!!!, Angola purchases armed reconnaissance drones. What next on their list...??

Exnavyboy62 I won't get into deep arguments on this. There has been EU lobbyists in the US since the war began. Look below for FMS stats.

It only shows that the US is still the undefeated champion in arms export to which I agree, although they sometimes force their weapons down the throats of their customers or threaten other nations with sanctions for buying weapons from Russia, China, Iran or North Korea. For example when Egypt was threatened with sanctions for trying to receive the Russian Su 35 and they tried to force the F-15 on them but rather, Egypt opted for the Rafale(Wise decision). And they also threatened the Philippines with sanctions for trying to purchase the Mil Mi 35 and they tried to force the Apache AH 64 on them, but they opted for the TAI T-129 Atak.

But Europe replacing Russia in it's arms export to customer countries, I'm not so sure maybe China would have been a reasonable option. For example, Algeria which happens to be a long time loyal patroniser of Russian weapons is shifting its attention on Chinese weapons now more often. China has also gotten a foothold on African countries in terms of arms export in general even before the war began, meanwhile Europe exports apart from Italian aircrafts, French Naval vessels and Turkish drones and armoured vehicles to a few countries have been so significant in Africa.

Faithful007:
Did you hear Biden's response when asked about the ICC warrant?

He said sth like: "We don't recognize the ICC but it's great they know what is right".

You guys make it all about the US and forget that Russia's main enemy is now Europe. More 90% of Europe hate Russia 10x more than US populace.

As it stands Russia is losing its european exports markets to MEA, losing it's global defence markets to Europe and losing it's political relevance to China.

Russia losing it's global defence markets to Europe?? Lmao .
Western media will only show you want they want you to believe. A lot of Europeans are supporting Russia in this Russia-UkraiNATO conflict. They are tired of the infidelity of their leaders and their eagerness to please Murica by always carrying out it's orders even at the detriment of the European country.

Just look at what has happened in the E.U ever since the war broke out, the continent has been hit with political crisis, cost of living crisis, economic crisis and inflation crisis because "Uncle Samnctions" ordered them to place sanctions on Russia. The dollar is rising and getting stronger while the British Pound and Euro is falling and getting weaker. E.U leaders are still "sending more weapons" to Ukraine for the war to drag on not knowing that it is benefitting Murica's military industrial complex. The E.U forfeited it's privilege of buying cheap Russian fuel and now guess how much they buy fuel from OPEC countries (thank God Nigeria is a beneficiary ).
Eastern Europe is being destabilized meanwhile the mastermind "god of war" is over a thousand kilometers far off living in a non conflict atmosphere (no complete peace in Murica, gun violence is the order of the day).
Turkiye, "an European country" was able to broker a deal between Russia and Ukraine for the export of grains and also the exchange of Prisoners of War meanwhile the so called "SuperPower"/ World Police is busy sabotaging the peace efforts by aggravating the war and instigating it's fellow NATO gangsters to keep on adding fuel to the burning fire of the conflict. Can you imagine, Boris Johnson flew all the way from the UK to Ukraine just to tell Zelensky " Don't enter peace talks"??

Faithful007:
Whatever. My interest usually is on black women. Besides Africa, the US military has the highest composition of black people, making up 30 percent of the force. Russia doesn't have blacks within it's ranks in any significant number.

Ohh c'mon don't blame Mother Russia now, how many blacks do you know that understands Slavic unlike English that is the universal language?? African slaves were not brought to Russia during the 18th to 19th century so you can't possibly find blacks among Russians. In terms of searching for greener pastures, the US is a better place to seek and besides most black immigrants join the US military to get a citizenship status.

But nevertheless, Russian military women are still more beautiful than American military women (both natural and self identifying trans)

Faithful007:
Off topic

Queens on camo

I thought Russian military women were more beautiful than American military women but after seeing this pics, I realized that I was very right

The P@k!st@n! airforce inducts the new, cutting edge, 4.5 generation JF-17C block 3. The aircraft is reported to have the DNA of the Chengdu J20 and it is made up of 50% composite material.

Chin... churn out ships like pancakes , at this rate they will be bigger than all others combined

Honestly speaking you are right, it's seems like China prints out it's defence equipments like paper. Always launching brand new weapons in multitude every year in, year out.

[quote author=Faithful007 post=121721693][/quote]

Yes nau, Nigeria is rich in mineral resources especially "oil and gas" so don't expect Murica to do less than spying. They even went as far as giving fake predictions about a terrorist attack on Abuja in 2022 just to create panic among the citizens, but till date nothing has happened and I'm not surprised this happened when the Navy started making significant progress against oil theft in the same year.

The same Murica that couldn't predict an attack on Kuje prison neither could they predict an attack on the presidential convoy and presidential guards brigade all of a sudden sees the future of the capital of the country under an attack. I don't trust that so called "Super Power" anymore. History is filled with lessons from the past.

Your obsessive mental health disorder however, requires specialised intervention.

Awwwwwwwn, try saying this again without crying 😂💔

Lurker4Long:

Obsessions and other mental health issues are worrying, especially if left unattended.
May I suggest that you urgently seek profession help?

And may I also recommend an English teacher for you .

Sure we getting them

The Army should give NASENI access to the helicopters so they can learn a thing or two about the tech and apply it in the making of the Nigerian made helicopter

Lurker4Long:


What's the SAAF maritime squadron? AW-159 helis in the SAAF?
What's with the obsession with things SA?

Is it just me or does anyone else believe !nd!ans are naturally born engineering wizards. Just take a look at how big, bold and beautiful the Vishakapatnam destroyer is. And this is just one of their many beautiful locally made defence assets.

Crew for some reason had to land IN ALH MK3 in sea using its emergency floatation system (EFS)

Crew was rescued and the helicopter recovered

Well this might be bad for it's reputation (the ALH mk3) when on the market.
What do you think about the SAAF maritime squadron getting them as replacement for it's AW-159 and oryx helicopters??

Nemesis4you:
Lol
