The primary role of an aw109 is transport....

It doesn't any missiles and its guns are used for mostly self defence.....

The Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Saddique Abubakar, stated this while inaugurating “Modular Theatre” at the 465 Nigeria Air Force Hospital in Kano on Saturday.
He said the Air Force is also expecting six gunship helicopters from Italy, saying the aircraft and helicopters will enhance the operational capacity of the force.

It's an A109 mate.... Not an attack helicopter.... Mounting a gun on it doesn't change the fact that it's a transport helicopter

Please read.

An attack helicopter is an armed helicopter with the primary role of an attack aircraft, with the capability of engaging targets on the ground, such as enemy infantry and armored fighting vehicles. Due to their heavy armament they are sometimes called helicopter gunships.

What's the primary role of the helicopter in the NAF service?

More MRAP APCs delivered to Mali.

Mali is receiving a donation of 30 MRAPs APCs from the UAE.

Mali would also purchase 100 units from the UAE.

Another 35 MRAP APCs have been donated to Mali from the EU.

I find the story of Kenyan army soldiers hiding in grass to be funny.

Whether you compare it to Nigeria, I still find it funny.

According to the New York Times, Kenyan soldiers hid in the grass during the attack that saw three Americans killed when al-Shabaab attacked the base.

"Many of the local Kenyan forces, assigned to defend the base, hid in the grass.

Kenyans announced they had captured six al Shabaab, but they all turned out to be "bystanders and were released."

crackkhaus:
You mean you watched the video and your first sentence is that he has to say what he has to say.

You really could not see someone fighting to hold back his emotions.

Even after he said he expected to still be able to represent the Queen and still be associated with the military, but unfortunately it was not be possible, obviously because Queen Lizzy has basically ostracized them.

His own words, 'I am deeply saddened' ...and you are still trying to explain what exactly?

Nothing affects me by you being happy. Just called you out on your show of faux concern.
If you are happy for someone who admits he is sad.. Lol . Then it just means you have no empathy.

May God never let us or our loved ones be with women who will cut us off from family and be happy about it.

And to avoid any ambiguity, he insisted: 'What I want to make clear is we’re not walking away.'

At this point, I regret to say I burst out laughing.

Oh, I know, I know…the only accepted narrative, certainly on Twitter, is that the mean, beastly, racist media has driven out poor Harry and Meghan with our despicable antics.

We shamefully refused to let them lecture us about the environment AND use private jets like taxis!

And we had the audacity to think a $500,000 star-studded, baby-shower party in New York was a tad inappropriate given that Harry and Meghan were busy urging us on Twitter that same week to pay more attention to poor people.

Oh, and we shockingly suggested that if you’re going to have the taxpayers fork out $3 million on refurbishing your home, you should probably not hide photos and details of your son's birth or stop the public taking your picture at Wimbledon.

Yes, the 'bullying' media's treated them appallingly, and it's all because Meghan has a black mother – despite the fact we all fell over ourselves for 18 months to say how fantastic it was to have a bi-racial woman enter the Royal Family.

So, on behalf of the disgusting British media, I humbly and sincerely apologise for holding these two rich, privileged public figures to any kind of accountability.

It could just be that Meghan and Harry are a pair of spoiled, entitled, hypocritical brats who decided to hold the Queen and Monarchy to ransom so they could have their royal cake and eat it, and have now had their bluff called and been sent packing.

Make no mistake, that's the real story here.

Harry admitted it himself last night when he said: 'Our hope was to continue serving the queen, the commonwealth and my military associations but without public funding,' he said. 'Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible.'

No, it wasn't.

The Queen, for all her warm words in her statement, was having none of it, because she knew their absurd 'half-in, half-out' scenario was a non-starter.

You can't have senior members of the Royal Family living in North America flogging themselves to the highest bidders like grubby tiara-clad second-hand car salesmen.

Yet that’s precisely what Harry and Meghan demanded with their extraordinary Monarchy manifesto they published two weeks ago, in which they told the Queen – via social media - how they were going to drag the institution she has served so magnificently kicking and screaming into a new woke, 'progressive' era.

It was going to be their two-faced virtue-signalling way or the highway.

Prince Andy the pedo was protected by the Royal family. Just look at how their tabloid is hailing him. Spits.

Prince Andy was sticking it in underage girls, and hanging out with a convicted pedo. Prince Andy brought way more shame to that family than anyone else and yet crickets crickets.

In addition, nude photos of Kate are fine, accusations of extramarital sex by William are fine, Andrew being an accused pedo is fine..but Harry and Meghan wanting privacy and offering to continue working ( for free) is wrong.

Behold, the future Queen of England.

you're tweeting without thinking bro.When I say it's under development I never said it will be unveiled soon.it may take years, and weeks of Auto Cad design.they decided to put the t90 tank on their brochure because no official design has been set..

You still need more time to develop. When you're much older, we can have this conversation.

Dont think its serious . from were did they get a T90S ? and there is no single pic of a nigerian version of the T90 . or prototype .

They are not developing any Tank. Building a Tank requires experience and skilled manpower in Tank assembly.

Toju200 is a 17 year old kid. He needs time to mature, to gain an understanding that building a tank is a lot more than printing a T-90 on a magazine.

According to the proforce brochure they engage in one project after another starting from PF2,PF leopard PF armoured Gunboat then PF ARA MRAP.Currently they are at PF ARA stage because they are to still building other variant of the ARA.Lets go back in time.During the very first ARA project they stated that they are working on a prototype tank and nobody believed me when I said it.After the ARA project the tank is next followed by a 4x4 vehicle and PF viper. I'm sure y'all remember proforce signed a deal with a Turkish company for production of some stuff.that is what I'm sure will be integrated on the tank

Proforce is not building any tank.

New indigenous Seaward Defence Boat for the Nigerian navy. This vessel would have a different design from NNS Karaduwa.

It would be faster with better sea keeping and endurance.
