Ar u talking about the riffle posted by M14A1 or the I posted with black polymer butt carried by those NN regiments.

I'm talking about the black rifle you posted.

M14A1:
Some Nigerian infantry units fire the 5.45

No Sir, no Nigerian unit fires the 5.45 ammo. Nigerian commandos from the Navy and Air force, also to a lesser extent the Army, all of those who use the Tavor-21 use the 5.56 ammo.


All other Nigerian units, including the AFSF, Regular Infantry and Mobile Strike Force use the 7.62mm in their rifles or carbines.


The chances of the Nigerian military using the 5.45 is so small, it is virtually non-existent. Hence my conclusion that rifle could only be the AK-103.

frumentius:
Now that's an interesting question.

I know Denel Aviation is the official MRO for the African continent for:
1) Lockheed Martin (C-130);
2) Airbus Helicopters (Puma, Super Puma, all the ex-Eurocopter choppers etc);
3) Russian Helicopters (though I hear this will soon be terminated); and
4) the SAAF Agusta A109 & Super Lynx.

Denel has a facility in Lagos for the C-130s and Super Pumas of the NAF but I'm pretty sure they only handle SA's Agusta products. Which probably means if there's extensive damage to your choppers, Agusta will fly people in or craft will be shipped to Europe.

Although i'm new here, I've been following this thread, on & off for sometime.


I'll like to ask, wasn't there an argument over this between you and Oga Henry a couple months back, I mean over this MRO facility?

Does this mean the little work done on the AW101 was done by Denel or by the Nigerians. I see the crashed chooper has a new Cammo?

We r still in November.......

We should get at least the first 3 orders these month along side with some helo's.

Okay thanks. Although this is November 24.

tdayof:
Probably in Nigeria. I can't find a number marking on that bird so I think it's just a recent painting. That's our desert camo scheme.

Ok thanks.

I'll like to ask another question if you don't mind.


Is Nigeria no longer getting the JF-17, i thought Oga Henry always said we would get them this november?

bidexiii:
Tnks mate. They are NN regiments recently deployed to the north east.

I am confused. You mean "Nigerian Navy Regiment", is there a unit like this?

jakeporeshenko:
FFFF*ck Aw-101 recently transferred to Naf involved in an accident.

This is an unfortunate loss for the NAF.


Does the Nigerian Air Force have an MRO facility?


Was the repainting done in Nigeria?

giles14:
mr wise Man i don hear.
keep deceiving urslf . pls who does d pilots in d PAF answer to?

Learn, stop acting ignorantly.

They report to the Nigerian Air Force chain of command.

bidexiii:
Yeap either AK103 or AK74.

It is not one or the other, it is definitely the AK-103. Nigerian infantry fires the 7.62mm unlike the 5.45 the Russians fire. So it cannot be the AK-74M.


It's a very nice rifle, with an effective accuracy of 600meters, that's very good.


What unit has them?

Hello guys, please where is Oga Henry?


It would be nice to hear his take on this crash.

giles14:
and its u dat proved d skills?

even wen we bought the Reva dey had to train d Nigerian operators.

do u think d PAF n NAF do cross carpeting

Stop displaying your ignorance.

The Presidential Air Fleet is a branch of the Nigerian Air Force. The pilots who fly in the presidential air fleet are usually deployed from the Nigerian Air Force.


Amosu and Badeh both former CAS both flew Eagle One.


If you don't know what you're talking about just keep shut.
