Standing With Army Aviation : Guess Who?

Did the NA pilots come from NAF, or are they army officers who trained to be pilots?
@gBaloo

Even back in 1986, the first crop of pilots who were trained but the NA did not activate their aviation arm, also were army officers eg the incumbent Consultant for this startup project, Maj Gen Emeka Onwuamaegbu (rtd).

The current crop of pilots who are now actually operationalizing the NA Aviation as opposed to what happened in 1986, can be seen in this 2017 photo below. These are the army’s own pilots 👇🏾

Nigerian Army Aviation : Meet The First Set Of Decorated Aviators. 
The Nigerian Army has moved to the next level with the official creation of the Nigerian Army Aviation Corps, one of the very few armies in Africa with an air wing independent of the Air Force. The first set of Nigerian Army pilots trained by the Nigerian Army Aviation School to fly combat aircrafts were decorated 13 December 2017.

The 19 young pilots had undergone a two year intensive training and completed their primary flying training at the International Helicopter Flying School (IHFS) Enugu.

The initiative to train pilots is in accordance with the vision of the current leadership of the Nigerian Army under the leadership of Lieutenant General Tukur Burarai in transforming and enhancing its operations and efficiency of its personnel.

The essence of the Aviation Corps is to enhance the fighting capabilities of the Nigerian Army in its Counter-Insurgency in the northeast and across the country. According to the Chief of Air Staff the Nigerian Army was tailored to materialize usung its own platforms and re-positioned to double its achievement in the year 2018.

The three armed services hardly work cohesively, each one is managed by egotistical chiefs who want to protect their interests only.

The air force conducts airstrikes without working with the army, and sometimes won't provide air support at all.

That's why the army decided to create its own air division.

It is not a duplication.each force has components of the other.the Air Force has ground and naval units,the Navy has ground and air units while the army has an amphibious and even a police unit

NAF doesn't have Naval unit. They only got Air and land. Only Navy has it all.

All branches of the military (Army, Navy and Air Force) are expected to have aircrafts.

The US Navy has the largest aircraft carrier in the world that carries about 70 jet fighters and a considerable amount of helicopters, all belonging to the Navy.

Their Army also have enough aircrafts in its arsenal as well.

If the Nigerian Army chooses to own aircrafts, it means they're advancing and we should be happy for that.

Shithole Citizen. I like that. It's poetic for it captures minimally much that is unspoken when the matter of what is thought to be wrong with Africa is discussed by po-faced analysts on World Stage discussion shows.

Did you know that Nigeria Army use to have fighter jets??

Babangida destroyed the aviation unit of the Nigerian Army because of the fear of coup!

Nice to see a reintroduction of the unit into the Army!

It is highly needed!
Re: Exploit Of The Nigeria Army Aviation: COAS, Taoored Lagabaja Shows Support by Pootle: 8:38am On Jul 13, 2024
the collaboration between the arm forces is poor, the army and air force need to foster a better understanding of each other and work closely rather than work separately they should learn from the US MILITARY setup
