good morning thread. i will be leaving the thread. but my critic should mark my word on the heavy weight jet. iswap have plan a major attack on two to three location at once but the 72 moblie strike force will do God work on them. the offensive two have begin since last week monday. mrap, mbt , cameroon bir will be in the operation. according to what i heard the navy have been patroling the lake chad which have affected there supply. good bye friend

mark my word 29 march 2021 about the 5 jet i mention one will heavy weight jet will procure

iblawi:
Neither Turkey nor Iran can attack Nigeria except we have a neighbor that is ready to accommodate them. Besides, turkey still use F-16 as their main fighter jet and Iran too can't attack Nigeria and sustain it.

A decent fleet of 4th or 4.5 generation multirole fighter jet is more than enough to resist any of those countries.

Just let US be with their F-35 abeg.

The only means of getting to Nigeria from their countries is by sea and alot of things have to be put into consideration. Non of the have An aircraft carrier which even eliminate possible air to air combat.

4th generation fighter jets have capability of carrying anti-ship missiles. Not until we get F-35.

i remember mentoning more than one jet. mark my word.just a matter of time

IGpro1:
baba I'm starting to think SSBN has trained some guys to help spread his fake info.

if there's any country in Africa to get F-35 it would probably be Egypt, Morocco or South Africa. even if we have the money to order 50, the US will never sell to us.
ordinary tucano took us years to negotiate and another 3years to get them.
the guys source of info most be a very ignorant fellow.

aside his battlefield update the rest na nosense abeg.

oga igpro i never said nigeria have order f35 i only said it was a nomination which will be determine after the president meeting with joe biden next month. and i did not mention only f35 i mention both j17, su35 su 57 j10 everything will come out just a matter of time. mark my words

iblawi:
Nations like?

The only countries capable of attacking Nigeria are world powers and very very few countries(maybe 3 more) and F-35 is not enough to save us from them.

Force projection no be joke o.

turkey was among the nation nigeria government point finger to about sponsoring terroism. iran launher and attack on nigeria defence system and web which make nigeria and launch a intelligent unit

Toju200:
sincerely speaking no reason at all.

nigeria is expose to war from some nation and do not want to be taken onwear

cutievik:
I loved the COAS statement today, it was filled with vision and purpose. My guys, if this guy can only work as half as the fmr CAS; I guess we would see a better NA...Where the Bleep is IGP Adamu of the NPF? Mad oo!

Where is away, what is done to address Killingsof NPF personnel's? Don't tell about those boys captured, I no believe that drama one bit.

he have sign more than 6 military deal

eveything i said will soon come out just a matter of time mark my word

slimthugchimee2:
SSBN do possess my guy

DEY SSBN YOU SAY IS BETTER THAN YOU. A GUY WHO ALWAY FIND INTEL NOT YOU THAT ALWAY SAY RUBBISH

Toju200:
I don't think so the attack helos in NAF isn't up to 30..
That's why we're acquiring more mi35m.

but that is what i heard but may be they are adding the m171e multrole helo

cutievik:
Nigeria Airforce needs every attack helicopter available, have you noticed most times only one helicopter goes on a mission? It shouldn't be so, but this is due to unsufficient platforms for operations. We need more for NAF not less...

For me if the nigeria army need a based station platfom they should look for cheap attack helo instead of the m35

IGpro1:
bro you dey TERRORIZE us with your updates on weapons Sha.
let me show something:

Nigeria that did not get F-14 or F16 will now get F-35 as per we join them develop am abi?

baba it won't happen.

But your battlefield update is very much needed and thanks for that.

oga confirm your statement before releasing them f 16 was offered to nigeria under obansajo. 24 was offered at a very cheap price but obansajo resfuse because they were second hand.

cutievik:
No nah, transfer what?? They should place orders for theirs jare, we need more airframes for the NAF not less...

Abeg the intelligence unit should be crowing the South East by now..

according to what i heard they said they naf have over 3o helicopter and the army avaiation should given the remaining 6. but they have not decised.

if i said something on this thread know that they is a procurement at hand. not all this fool that make noise online when someone said something.i am not imarging anything is what i heard i say. i heard this about three day ago in the process of my investigation. for those that said the su 57 is not yet commision, let me shock you, algeria is alreadly buying one to two squardron. i am not in support for f35 because of it cost and maintance but since it was what i heard what should i do? i realease my information on what i heard. the j17 have beem makurdi but the oga of the naf refused to even mention or picture. some drone have arrived but the oga of naf refuse to mention. i just have to stop intel in this thread.i will be a normal follower

Toju200:
yeah around 2019 ministry of defence was interested in Acquiring The mig for NAF although the type wasn't stated...

And I'm not even imagining NAF buying The F35....

On the issue of subs the navy is considering subs but not Acquiring anytime soon...at all

according to what i heard f 35 jet will be determine after the president meeting with joe biden next month . the su 57 and SU 35 will be determine after a meeting with russia next month or june. we have 27 j17 to recieve but i dont not the block. submarine for the navy is under procurement 2021 or 2022. m346 have go through inspection 2 waiting for money. nigeria remain m35 may be transfer to the army avaiation

Stephandesward:
When he is steadily spilling imagination and lies, and he still does it, after been cautioned, it's slaps that he needs not words, why is he consciously and comfortably misleading people, that don't know much about world affairs , ruining the credibility of the discussion ?

thunder slap you there

GeneralFarouq:
Is it the VTs

yes. 35 is the first order and 50 second order

nigeria will be receiving more mbt this year

Stephandesward:
Oga stop this nonsense, if you don't understand geo-political spheres and economies, just shut up.

oga you too shut up. This was the main reason i refused to share intel with thread because some mumu individual will always say rubbish. When i said something confirm before rubbishing your self

who remember in 2019 when nigeria ambas. to russia said something about su 57. nigeria is now very intrest in the su 57and su 35. still 50-50. according to navy calender submarine is meant to be purchase between this year and 2022

from my review and investigation. the men of the 72 moblie strike team was involve in the shooting in a battalion which i will not disclose they were deploy before the 1 and 2 offensive. they were sent to a highly threat area , but they refused order. This made the high command of the military to beg them. the high command humble them self and start taking with the sodlier like fatier and son.which cds said he have giving and order to dicon to be fast about the production of mrap and deployed with immidate effect. the strike team went for they mission

Toju200:
exactly...
Omo I pray they listen to them.

i support the military protest especially in equipment and rotation. the high brass will take the junior solider seriously. i heard the cds have been begging them to calm down. the CAS said he will visited them. i will review some of my investigation on military equipment to the north east and emblazonment inn the military especially in the north east

Valkrie:
Those they killed are Okada men and innocent people passing by...when the gun men showed up as usual they took off in tactical manouver and later came back and started shooting indiscriminately killing innocent people and the okada riders operating nearby and tagging them gunmen...why do you think they denied any killings at first...? They know what happened and trying to cover up to prevent any backlash from the masses...!!

oga in this picture below, the unknown gunmen shot, was wearing a longleives shit which the esn usually wear. so your are now trying to tell the forum that the 16-18 okada men usually wear juju and some tactical dress abi?, there is Godoooooooooo.

what happen in aba is according to the rule of engagement of the military. according to intel from people around that area. they said over 30-50 people where moving on foot and motorcycle to a location. the military where doing stop and search based on the information that some unknown gunmen where moving from one state to another. when the military heard intel about the movement of unknown gunmen to a military checkpoint the military took defensive position placing there gun truck in strategy location.the unit are special force detach to 144 battalion on a special duty. when the unknown gunmen came and started shooting on the military men, the military repelled them and started shouting(una juju no reach) killing 16-18 of them. the unknown gunmen came with some juju or magic power but it was like the military have upgraded them self. this is my report.

Air Force Strategic Plan 2017-2026






Nigerian Air Force - Ten-Year Strategic Plan 2017-2026
The future will demand a technically capable and balanced air force that provides assured effect for defence, founded on the enduring key air power roles. The NAF Act 1964 tasked her to defend the territorial integrity of Nigeria by air. This presupposes that in the event of war, the NAF would employ air power assets to deny adversaries freedom of operation in the air and provide support to surface forces. This may also entail pre-emptive air strikes against the adversaries, vital military installations or economic assets.

The NAF is active in the counter insurgency operations currently being conducted in the North East. Suffice to add that NAF’s efforts have been instrumental in degrading the capability of the insurgents to the level whereby their effectiveness is continually being diminished. Nevertheless, the NAF should continue with the present efforts and be prepared to counter possible future insurgency from any part of the country. The NAF could be called upon to conduct operations geared towards protecting critical infrastructure and national assets. It may also include protection of pipelines, dams, power lines, airports and other government installations. These may involve combat operations to free these assets from seizure by renegades. The NAF may be required to conduct operations in liaison with other agencies to protect Nigeria’s porous borders in order to mitigate cross border crimes such as drug trafficking, armed banditry as well as arms and human trafficking.

The NAF could be called upon to undertake roles in aid to civil power /authority (MACP and MACA) covering a wide range of activities. Some of the functions may include provision of assistance in the event of natural disasters/emergencies, conduct of psychological air operations, provision of medical services to displaced persons, air transportation of relief materials, VIP movements, transportation of vital materials. In the case of aid to civil power, the NAF may be involved in combating terrorism, militancy and suppressing communal clashes among others in support of the Nigeria police, Nigeria Security and Defence Corps (NSCDC) or other agencies.

The air power response for protecting maritime resources could be through airborne surveillance of the nation’s maritime environment as well as provision of intelligence to surface forces which could be conducted day and night. It would encompass operations against piracy and illegal oil bunkering where identified adversaries could be intercepted from the air. However, these activities could sometimes be far from shore and out of the combat radius of conventional shore based combat platforms. Hence, it will be necessary for the MPAs to possess anti-shipping capabilities. Additionally, favourable air situation could be provided for surface forces.

The NAF could be called upon to undertake roles in aid to civil power /authority (MACP and MACA) covering a wide range of activities. Some of the functions may include provision of assistance in the event of natural disasters/emergencies, conduct of psychological air operations, provision of medical services to displaced persons, air transportation of relief materials, VIP movements, transportation of vital materials. In the case of aid to civil power, the NAF may be involved in combating terrorism, militancy and suppressing communal clashes amongst others in support of the Nigeria police, Nigeria Security and Defence Corps (NSCDC) or other agencies.

The NAF Ten-Year Strategic Plan 2017-2026 presented a road map for the evaluation of NAF’s airpower capabilities in the next 10 years. The plan assesses the operating environment, while recognising the geo-political and geo-strategic environments as influenced by globalisation and internationalisation of security threats. The NAF requires 6,786 officers and 32,697 airmen/airwomen to conduct her activities up to 2026.

Calculations of operational platforms required is predicated on the experiences gained from campaigns such as ECOMOG Operation, Operations RESTORE HOPE, LAFIYA DOLE, DELTA SAFE and the Joint Task Force operations in the North East. Aircraft and aircrew availability, mission request, mission accomplishment, communications and ISR were also considered. Furthermore, where missions overlap, advantage of the flexibility of airpower was exploited.

The total platforms required by the NAF up to 2026 as detailed is derived from both the operational and training platforms. The table also determines the total platform deficiencies in the NAF. In deriving this, cognisance was taken of existing platforms in NAF inventory. Furthermore, it brought to fore, some platforms that are seemingly available but are inoperable. These platforms, indicated as unserviceable in the remark column would need to be reactivated where possible or decision taken towards their replacement.

Toju200:
According to Leonardo NAF is looking at the jet but nothing is being signed yet...

thank you sir. i remember i said that nigeria airforce have not paid for it, but they have propose to the plane already. they will still be meeting between the military. the j17,su57 f35, su34, j10 are under nomination for the heavy fighter jet for the nigeria airforce. the nigeria army aviation will still have some helo and drone to play with. heavy modernization is coming to the Nigeria armed forces

they is no official debunk from the company and nigeria airforce about the jet. i heard that nigeria army will be receiving mbt and other military material. about 36-50 mbt will be receives by the nigeria army. the nigeria army aviation will receives it airlift including drone and helicopter. the modernization in the nigeria navy will be massive they is a secrets procurement of ship by the Nigeria navy. submarine, frigate and other navy equipment will start procurement process. the modernization of the nigeria navy from global military news are accurate just that the years and some delay

Xbee007:
So the report that NAF is getting 2 squadron of M-346 is actually fake news. I'm not surprised though. It makes absolutely no sense that NAF would continue diversifying at such rate. It can only result in logistic and maintenance nightmare. It serves no strategic purpose too.

base on my intel i dont believe the news is fake. initially i said they have not paid money for the jet, and it was a nomination in in which a propose was sent to the company. the nigeria airforce i have seen this news from more than 1 week but refused to debunk the news. for now, until the nigeria airforce debunk the news, them we will know it is a fake news but if the nigeria airforce refused to debunk the news ,than they is underground procurement or nomination.

this one wey be sa iswap never launch attack this week, they the plan or they the weak? Or the airstrike affect them.
