American brutality at it's finest.

That's an Apache AH-64 firing it's 30mm chin gun at everyday Iraqi civilians.

This was a long time ago when some Iraqi journalist were mistaken for militias.

Henry240:
Tsaigumi UAV, which is capable of day and night operations, has an operational endurance in excess of 10 hours, a service ceiling of 15,000 feet and a mission radius of 100km. It has a maximum take-off weight of 95kg and its payload is an electro-optic/infra-red camera system.


The Nigerian Air Force is currently working on the Ichoku Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle(UCAV).

It can carry and deliver more firepower ( up to 80kg from initial 40)

This is crazy shit.

Motorised infantry is just as important as Mechanized Infantry. In places like Syria and Nigeria at the height of the insurgency. Insurgents ripped through bases with guys firing 23mm HMGs from the back of hilux trucks.

This tactic allows the insurgents to easily maneuver defence lines with ease, maximum firepower and speed. If a base comes under attack from 5 different directions with insurgents fielding 23mm's, there is a high likely hood that the small base would collapse.

You won't be able to do this with armour or deploy in considerable numbers.

Regular armies have also adopted this technique, with the Russians developing a new motorised brigade based on pick-up trucks.

Personally I don't believe the Hilux can be replaced with this, it should be replaced with the Innoson G12 military truck. The hilux, doesn't have the characteristics of a military jeep, which the G12 has. It would suffer in many areas the G12 will excel.

In my opinion, the Hilux should be replaced by the G12, while the PF2 LAV is equally purchased.

Armour can be overated. The PF2 can only provide protection against 7.62mm, it won't stop a 23mm fired from 2km away.Right there, you now have to choose between having 5 pickup trucks armed with 12.5mm HMG or a single PF2 LAV armed with a 12.7mm.

Anyway, it is about providing a good balance at the end of the day.

I guess it looks better this way.

Can anyone ID the weapon and what vehicle its mounted on

Locally produced Nigerian army Innoson IVM G12 military trucks.

The Nigerian army has so far procured 173 units of this rugged truck.

This might end the era of Toyota Hilux

CAPACITY BUILDING: NAF TAKES DELIVERY OF FINAL BATCH OF SUPER MUSHSHAK AIRCRAFT

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) today, 14 January 2018, took delivery of the second batch of Super Mushshak trainer aircraft that the Federal Government had since ordered from Pakistan. The Ilyushin 76 Strategic Airlifter aircraft that brought the new Super Mushshak aircraft touched down at NAF Base Kaduna at exactly 7.45 am today. The Chief of Logistics at NAF Headquarters, Air Vice Marshal Bello Garba, received the new aircraft on behalf of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar. A combined team of NAF and Pakistan Air Force (PAF) personnel were also on hand to assist in offloading the new aircraft, some parts of which came in crates. In addition, officials of the National Customs Service and the National Immigration Service were present to ensure necessary documentation. The newly delivered aircraft, which are capable of being used for acrobatics training, are all brand new and fitted with digital glass cockpit.

The newly received aircraft, five in number, form the final batch of a total of 10 Super Mushshak aircraft, the procurement of which the current Federal Government Administration initiated in Year 2016. As at 2015, local primary flying training in the NAF was almost grounded thereby necessitating the procurement of the Super Mushshak Aircraft. Consequently, with the delivery of the new Super Mushshak aircraft, primary flying training of NAF pilots at 401 Flying Training School (FTS), Kaduna has just received a boost. Without doubts, the delivery of the aircraft would go a long way in helping to sustain the process of building capacity to effectively prosecute the counterinsurgency operations in the North East as well as other forms of criminalities in the country.

It would be recalled that the NAF took delivery of the first batch of 5 brand new Super Mushshak Aircraft on 14 July 2017, following which the aircraft were inducted and deployed for primary training of NAF pilots. Furthermore, some NAF personnel had undergone training in Pakistan, as Instructor Pilots and technicians on the Super Mushshak aircraft, as part of the contract. The delivery went without any hitches and the Ilyushin 76 Aircraft has departed from Nigeria. The newly received aircraft will now be assembled in Nigeria by a team of PAF and NAF technicians prior to test flying and formal induction into the NAF.

My Mum Says Am Wicked And Heartless”; Handsome Gallant Nigerian Soldier Freeman Daniel Reveals

A handsome Nigerian soldier has revealed how his family especially his mother is displeased with him for being in the north eastern part of the country for the past three years without telling any of them.

According to Daniel, his reason for doing that is because she (the mother) would consistently worry over his safety in the region as he also revealed that he’s preparing to go back home soon.

This is what Daniel shared on his Facebook wall

"My mummy says am wicked and heartless all because for the past 3years have been in Northeast without telling any of them.

Just read about it
"incident, which occurred today, 8 January 2018, resulted in significant damage to the helicopter."
That's the painful part of the story.

Nigerian troops on Operation LAFIYA DOLE in the ongoing Operation DEEP PUNCH II have been recording tremendous successes. Yesterday night, Friday 5th January 2018, the gallant troops dealt decisive blow on the Boko Haram terrorists by inflicting heavy casualty on them and capturing the following high calibre weapons and equipment from the Boko Haram terrorists in Sambisa Forest:

Can someone assist ID rifle 2.

And is Rifle 2 & 3 same..

Who can name all the ammo.

ssaengine:

My point is Nigeria is getting nothing more than any other Tucano customer has received. It's a straight arms deal.

"The sale of the 12 aircraft, with weapons and services, is worth $593 million, and includes thousands of bombs and rockets."

Its gonna look a lot like this.

UNITED STATES AMBASSADOR PRESENTS LETTER OF OFFER AND ACCEPTANCE FOR SUPER TUCANO AIRCRAFT TO NIGERIAN AIR FORCE

The United States (US) Ambassador to Nigeria, Stuart Symington, today presented the Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) in respect of the A29 Super Tucano Aircraft to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF). The LOA represents the official US Government offer to sell US defence articles and services to the Nigerian Government. Speaking while presenting the LOA to the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, at NAF Headquarters in Abuja, the US Ambassador noted that peaceful existence in Nigeria was strategic to the security of the entire West African Sub-Region in particular and the entire world at large. Accordingly, Ambassador Symington expressed the commitment of the US Government to helping Nigeria completely defeat the Boko Haram Terrorists and also eliminate all forms of terrorism from its territory. In addition, he conveyed the US Government’s belief that the capacity of the NAF could greatly be enhanced by the acquisition of the Super Tucano Aircraft. According to him, the US Government would therefore continue to support the NAF in its capacity building efforts, including the timely supply of needed aircraft spares. The US Ambassador also indicated the readiness of relevant US Government officials to work with NAF officials to facilitate the early delivery of the aircraft once payment had been made. In that regard, officials of both the US Government and the NAF would be meeting in early January 2018 to jointly study the LOA prior to subsequent endorsements by both parties.

The CAS, while receiving the LOA, expressed the appreciation to the US Government for its steady support towards sustaining NAF air operations. He also praised the personal commitment of the US Ambassador to ensuring that the Super Tucano Aircraft deal became a reality. Air Marshal Abubakar agreed with Ambassador Symington that the wellbeing of Nigeria was closely linked to those of other African countries, and indeed the entire world, as terrorism is a global phenomenon, which had to be confronted by all stakeholders. He then reassured the US Ambassador of the commitment of the NAF to the stipulated deadlines in the LOA. Furthermore, the CAS assured the US Ambassador that the NAF would ensure the readiness of proposed home base of the Super Tucano Aircraft in Nigeria before the aircraft’s delivery. He further said that the NAF would nominate and prepare all the pilots and maintenance crew to be trained on the Super Tucano Aircraft, ahead of their training in the US.

It is expected that the LOA would have been signed and necessary payments made before 20 February 2018 to ensure the commencement of production of the NAF’s Super Tucano Aircraft. It would be recalled that the US State Department had earlier approved the sale of 12 x A29 Super Tucano Aircraft to the NAF to further aid the nation’s counterinsurgency campaign.
