Nigerian army successful counter-terror operation

kabe1:Nigeria in the coming weeks is set to launch locally manufactured helicopter. President Muhammadu Buhari has given a fresh challenge to the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) and the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) Kaduna to complete work on the ongoing manufacturing of the first Nigerian-made Helicopter before the end of his administration. |

Why do soldiers do this? Is it a result of pressure, exhaustion or a lack of training? Gruesome Mozambique video investigated Video on social media seemingly showing South African soldiers complicit in burning bodies has drawn the comment “despicable” from the SA National Defence Force (SANDF) with an investigation underway. https://www.defenceweb.co.za/featured/gruesome-mozambique-video-investigated/

NTSA:While the Ezugwu is made in Nigeria, MRAPs are built from commercially available parts. There's nothing difficult in building or maintaining them. |

Odunayaw:I don't see the Nigerian army investing in significant air Defence at the moment. I don't think that area has even been considered yet. The Nigerian army hasn't really shown any foresight, army communication has also been really poor. I guess we'll have to wait and see what the 400 armoured vehicles procured looks like. The war in Europe, especially in the area of Special Forces has shown that the Nigerian army needs highly mobile assault teams that can deploy a mix of skills to deal with evolving threats. That's why I think it is important we grow and add more special units to the Nigerian military.

Odunayaw:We all know the F-7 received serious upgrades in China, this is the first time we are seeing reports of what the upgrades look like. The fact is NAF F-7NI fighter jets are now one of the most modern F-7s in the world. This is the reason why I don't think the Nigerian Air Force would be investing in any Frontline fighter jets. I think attention needs to be paid to the army, training, re-training and re-equipping. The video we saw of NDA cadets training shows that the officers of the Nigerian army are well trained, however the bulk of the army which is the "rank & file", I'm not convinced they receive adequate training. From the war in Ukraine, we can see that the Nigerian army needs many more special forces units. Same thing has to happen with the Navy and Air Force. The SBS and Panther units are inadequate. We need to also look at Frontline fighting equipment, Tanks, IFVs, AFVs, artillery and Tank Destroyers. MRAPs are cool, but you can't win wars with APCs. I just hope we get to see an improvement in the training, personnel protective equipment and hardware upgrade of our Army. 6 Billion USD is no joke!! |
Exnavyboy62:From this upgrade we got, we can bury any hope of buying Fighter jets for the foreseeable future. It means NAF F-7NI are one of the, if not the most up to date F-7 fighter jets anywhere in the world. 12 F-7 and 3 JF-17 means we have a squadron. Air policing, Air Defense and Air Interdiction would be carried out buy these jets. The Super Tucanos would be responsible for CAS, supported by the Alpha Jets , that is until they Alpha Jets retire. The M346F/A would eventually fulfill ground attack, Surveillance and multi role missions for the Nigerian Air Force. The T-129 ATAK and Bell AH-1Z would provide Rotary wing CAS and ISR. All our UCAVs would be tasked with Reconnaissance, ISR and Air Interdiction mission support. It is simply had to see where a new Frontline fighter jet fits in.

Exnavyboy62:I agree with you, this is the upgrade Nigerian Air Force F-7NI fighters got according to an insider. This is not confirmed yet, but seems really plausible.

Odunayaw:We are not here to please random people we've never seen or met before. That's why I run it here fire for fire. I've been here for a very long time and I no dey hear something!!! ![]() I come here because I find it therapeutic, yet you see clowns making a fuss out of their ignorance. |
Exnavyboy62:The Nigerian Air Force has shown no interest in this Aircraft, it's just fan-boys like us that keep wishing we get them. ![]() However I really doubt NAF would purchase this any fighter jets soon, especially with the purchase of the M-346F/A. |
jl115:That's my point. |
GreenandGold:To each his own. |
GreenandGold:Yes, it's not that deep. We are not going to change the world tucked in a corner of Nairaland. You should get that into your thick skull. This thread is for escapism, that's why you have been here for a decade. That's why I'm here. Do not act clueless, making it out to be what it's not. |
GreenandGold:It's not that deep. This interaction was already closed since yesterday. It is completely irrelevant going back to a topic I have no interest in. |
Faithful007:I see you have a problem with your brain. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nigeria-usa-idUSKBN1EL1EN West African country’s air force said, confirming the resurrection of a deal frozen by the Obama administration US said to block Israeli arms deal with Nigeria https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.timesofisrael.com/us-said-to-block-israeli-arms-deal-with-nigeria/amp/ Nigerian president says US arms ban is 'aiding' Boko Haram https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.france24.com/en/20150723-us-arms-ban-leahy-law-aiding-boko-haram-nigeria-president-buhari Don't go about spewing comments like an Buffoon, I have Zero patience for your stupidity. |

Fynline:You would not regret it. It's 2+ hours of pure entertainment that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. It's orgasmic. |
GreenandGold:That's the thing, I don't care much for both. Liberals and Conservatives are the exact same thing, pushing left wing or right wing ideology at the expense of Africans. Liberals wear masks while doing it, Conservatives are much more openly racist. Doesn't change the fact they are both doing it. |
