[/b]SUPER TUCANOS ROAR IN DEFENCE OF THE NATION’S SKIES[b]

From the moment the A-29 Super Tucano aircraft entered the Nigerian Air Force inventory, they ushered in a new era of precision air warfare and intelligence-driven operations. Designed for modern asymmetric threats, the aircraft rapidly transitioned into operational dominance, integrating seamlessly into ongoing counter-insurgency campaigns. Their advanced sensors, endurance, and precision strike capability enable crews to pursue threats across difficult terrain, turning the skies into a decisive advantage for friendly forces. What began as a strategic acquisition quickly evolved into a force multiplier, redefining the projection of airpower in defence of national security.

In sustained operations, the Super Tucanos have established an empirical record of success, disrupting terrorist networks, neutralizing hostile enclaves, and denying insurgents the freedom to regroup. Persistent surveillance and rapid strike cycles convert intelligence into immediate action, sustaining a tempo that overwhelms adversaries. Each mission reflects calculated precision: coordinated engagements that protect civilians, reinforce ground offensives, and steadily restore stability to affected communities. Beyond battlefield metrics lies a deeper impact, renewed public confidence inspired by the visible and reassuring presence of airpower overhead.

The Super Tucano fleet represents more than a current capability; it is a cornerstone of the Nigerian Air Force’s smart projection of future airpower. As tactics evolve and technology advances, the aircraft remains central to a doctrine built on speed, accuracy, and intelligence-led engagement. Their continued deployment signals a firm commitment to safer communities, secure airspace, and a proactive defence posture that deters emerging threats before they mature. Under the leadership vision of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, the Super Tucanos stand not only as instruments of combat, but as guardians of stability and enduring symbols of Nigeria’s resolve to secure its skies.

Actually, I have my doubts about what ISWAP is saying here. These array of equipment they are showcasing here could easily have been assembled from anywhere, and the pix of the damaged equipment and buildings seem almost identical to those earlier released by the Army.
But I don't blame them, na we dey give them mouth to talk....If they were cut off and ambushed repeatedly on their withdrawal route by both ground and air attacks, they would be too busy licking their wounds to remember to do propaganda.

In 2022, U.S. and Nigerian officials broke ground at Kainji Air Force Base on the final phase of a $38 million facility supporting the A-29 Super Tucano aircraft. Part of a $500 million U.S.-Nigeria security cooperation program – one of the largest in Sub-Saharan Africa – the project combined aircraft delivery, training, and infrastructure to enhance Nigeria’s air capabilities.

A year later, the facility was commissioned, marking an important milestone in the ongoing defense partnership between both countries and in Nigeria’s counterterrorism efforts. #Freedom250[b]

ISWAP has claimed another attack in **Borno State**, driven by its proximity to **Lake Chad**, a major insurgent stronghold.

Governor **Babagana Zulum** has called for a joint Army, Navy, and Air Force offensive, including the use of attack drones, to target terrorist bases in the Tumbus islands.

Without decisive action on these core hideouts, attacks on vulnerable outposts will continue.

[/b]AIRPOWER IS A DECISIVE FORCE MULTIPLIER IN COUNTERTERRORISM OPERATIONS — CAS[b]

The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, on 19 February 2026 undertook an operational visit to the 303 Composite Group (CG), Nigerian Air Force (NAF), Ilorin, where he assessed the unit’s readiness before joining the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) and other Service Chiefs for the flag-off of OPERATION SAVANNAH SHIELD. The engagements underscored the Armed Forces of Nigeria’s unified resolve to intensify counterterrorism and internal security operations in Kwara State and across the country. Inspecting operational platforms, maintenance facilities and mission support infrastructure, the CAS emphasised that airpower provides speed, reach and precision, noting that “when intelligently applied, airpower is a decisive force multiplier in counterterrorism operations.” He commended personnel for their professionalism and combat preparedness, stressing that “operational readiness is not a one-time achievement; it is a sustained culture,” and reaffirmed Headquarters’ commitment to sustained support in logistics, training and welfare.

Addressing officers, airmen and airwomen during a durbar, Air Marshal Aneke highlighted the evolving dynamics of asymmetric threats and the imperative for adaptive airpower strategies, urging deeper inter-agency cooperation, discipline and vigilance as pillars of mission success. The visit culminated in the flag-off ceremony of OPERATION SAVANNAH SHIELD, led by the CDS, General Olufemi Olatubosun Oluyede, who described the operation as intelligence-led and structured around a robust, enduring framework that integrates kinetic and non-kinetic lines of effort for sustainable security outcomes. The ceremony featured the decoration of the Operations Commander with the operational insignia and the formal handover of the operation flag to the Theatre Commander, symbolising the commencement of coordinated joint task force operations.

Delivering a keynote address, the Executive Governor of Kwara State, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, commended the Armed Forces for their steadfast commitment to restoring peace, expressing confidence that residents would “sleep better now,” as the operation has brought renewed relief and reassurance to vulnerable communities. In his remarks, the CAS declared, “This operation reflects our collective determination to deny criminal elements any sanctuary. We will dominate the airspace, provide persistent surveillance, and deliver precise air support wherever required.” He reaffirmed that the Nigerian Air Force will continue to project smart airpower with precision and purpose, leveraging intelligence-driven missions and rapid response capabilities to protect lives, secure communities and uphold Nigeria’s sovereignty.

Somalia is currently in advanced negotiations with Pakistan to purchase up to 24 JF-17 Thunder Block III fighter jets in a proposed defence package valued at around $900 million.

[/b]Troops neutralise 15 terrorists, destroy logistics hub in Gujba in Yobe[b]

Troops of Sector 2 under Operation DESERT SANITY V have neutralised 15 terrorists and destroyed a suspected logistics base during a precision operation around Lamusheri Village in Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe state.

Military sources told Zagazola that the early morning operation on Feb. 22 followed weeks of intelligence gathering supported by satellite imagery and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance air platforms, which identified the location as a terrorist attack launch point and logistics hub.

According to the sources, troops, alongside members of the Civilian Joint Task Force, came under fire while approaching the target but tactically outflanked the insurgents and cut off their escape routes.

During the ensuing firefight, 15 terrorists were neutralised, while several others escaped with suspected gunshot wounds.

Security personnel also discovered extensive defensive structures at the site and destroyed all identified life-support facilities used by the group.

In addition, five tricycles and two vehicles allegedly used for attacks and logistics were destroyed and set ablaze with their contents.

Recovered items included a cache of arms and ammunition, as well as two bandoliers and carmel pouches.

The military said two personnel sustained gunshot wounds during the operation but were in stable condition, adding that the general security situation in the area remained calm but unpredictable, while troop morale and combat efficiency remained high.

[/b]Air-ground offensive foils Kukawa attack, destroys gun trucks[b]

Troops have thwarted a coordinated multi-pronged terrorist assault on positions in Kukawa after a prolonged overnight battle supported by air strikes.

Military sources said the attackers, mounted on gun trucks, motorcycles and on foot, launched the assault from multiple directions late on Feb. 20.

Troops mounted a determined defence, engaging the insurgents in intense combat that lasted into the early hours of Feb. 21 before forcing them to withdraw while dragging away casualties.

Air strikes later destroyed one gun truck and several motorcycles carrying fleeing fighters, neutralising additional terrorists.

During follow-up exploitation, troops recovered 13 AK-47 rifles, 16 loaded magazines, three handheld radios, and other items believed to have been used by the attackers, as well as evidence of casualties evacuated by the group.

One soldier was killed during the encounter, while some equipment was damaged by rocket fire. Injured personnel were evacuated and are reported to be in stable condition.

Military authorities said the coordinated operations demonstrated sustained pressure on insurgent elements and continued efforts to degrade their combat capability across the theatre.

A convoy belonging to the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 8 Division and the Commander of Sector 2 for the Joint Task Force North West Operation FANSAN YAMMA effectively thwarted a lethal ambush close to Mayama Hill in Kebbi State, leading to the elimination of five suspected Lakurawa terrorists.

The assault took place while the convoy was heading to meet frontline soldiers stationed in the state. Gunmen launched an attack from the wooded area, but the convoy reacted quickly with significant power, thwarting the ambush and interrupting the assailants’ strategies.

A following search in the region resulted in the discovery of a significant stash of weapons and items, comprising an OJC firearm, a PKT firearm, two AK-47 rifles, four magazines for the AK-47, a bandolier filled with PKT ammo, multiple rounds of 12.7mm ammunition, five motorcycles, two cellphones, and a camel bag holding ₦840,000

The variant of the JF-17 to be purchased is unknown but if we assume it to be the most advanced variant which is the JF-17C Block 3 which has a unit cost of about $25 - $30 million, that would be;
24 x 30 = $720 million.
The remaining $180 million may not be enough to cover spare parts, ammunitions and supporting infrastructure and training costs. Somalia may have to prioritize one miscellaneous over the others or forfeit one in favour of others.

Nigeria’s deal on the other hand is a miracle. I just checked for the unit price of the M-346FA and I saw approximately $93 million. Austria signed a contract in 2025 for 12x M-346FA and other miscellaneous at a cost of $1.7 billion. Nigeria got a deal for 24x M-346FAs for $1.3 billion, inclusive of the miscellaneous.
But I’m guessing inflation in the past few years played a part in increasing the unit cost of the platform, hence why the Austrian deal is more expensive than the Nigerian deal

[/b]Breaking! DSS Strikes Again, Captures Sixth Owo Church Attacker[b]

[/b]*High-profile ISWAP Commander hid in Edo Village for 4 years*[b]

Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have arrested the sixth person involved in the 2022 attack on St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo state, in which over 40 worshippers lost their lives and scores more were left injured.

The DSS is currently prosecuting five persons — Idris Omeiza (25), Al Qasim Idris (20), Jamiu Abdulmalik (26), Abdulhaleem Idris (25), and Momoh Otuho Abubakar (47) for allegedly carrying out acts of terrorism.

[/b]For nearly four years, the sixth suspect evaded arrest, making him one of the most wanted fugitives in Nigeria[b]

A security source disclosed that DSS, operatives, who had for years been on the trail of the sixth suspect, identified as Sani Yusuf, arrested him in Iguosa community, along Powerline in Ovia North Local Government Area of Edo State.

According to the source, Yusuf, a high-profile commander of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) had after the Owo church attack, temporarily slipped into Kano before deciding to relocate to the sleepy community in Edo State.
The source further disclosed that Yusuf has since confessed to being involved in the planning and execution of the Owo church massacre.

In addition, continued the source, he confessed to other terrorist attacks by ISWAP, including the July 2022 Suleja military barracks attack, and kidnappings in Kaduna State and environs.

"He admitted his role in the Owo church attack, the Zuma Rock checkpoint assault, which claimed the lives of five soldiers, and several ISWAP kidnap operations," the source disclosed.

"Yusuf also disclosed that he served under other ISWAP top commanders like Abu Ikirimah, who was arrested by the DSS in 2024," another source offered.

"This arrest marks a significant milestone in the pursuit of justice for the victims of the Owo church attack, the soldiers killed at Zuma Rock checkpoint in Suleja, and underscores the relentless campaign by the DSS in the fight against terrorism," he declared.

[/b]Multinational Joint Task Force thwarts ISWAP revenge attack near Bargaram, eliminates five terrorists [b]

Troops of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) have successfully repelled a well-coordinated revenge attack by ISWAP terrorists along the Cameroon-Nigeria border near Bargaram, in a demonstration of resilience and operational superiority. Sources told Zagazola Makama that the insurgents launched the attack to avenge their humiliating defeat during an encounter at Bulgaram on the night of February 18–19, 2026, where five ISWAP fighters, including the top foreign commander Omar al-Shami, were killed by MNJTF forces.
The sources said that February 26 attack, therefore, was a direct attempt to strike back at the MNJTF and regain lost ground, said an a senior officer who participated in engagements describing the operation as “a decisive encounter that reaffirmed our determination to deny terrorists any safe haven or capacity to strike across borders.”

The MNJTF troops, anticipating the enemy’s movements through intelligence and reconnaissance, fortified their positions and responded with precision. According to sources, the engagement launched under the cover of night was met by decisive fire power by the MNJTF troops who displayed gallantry and precision in repelling the attack, neutralizing several insurgents the process and secured a large cache of weapons,” the source added. Recovered from the terrorists were an array of high-calibre weaponry and ammunition, including two AK-47 assault rifles, one M21 rifle (No. 11021), one PKM machine gun (No. NT 234), an anti-tank rocket, and four hand grenades. Ammunition seized comprised 47 rounds of 5.56×45 mm, 112 rounds of 7.62×39 mm, and 429 rounds of 7.62×54 mm, alongside six AK-47 magazine boxes and four M21 magazine boxes.

The sources pointed out the importance of coordination between Nigerian and Cameroonian forces, stating that “the joint posture, rapid response, and discipline displayed by the troops stressed the MNJTF’s operational effectiveness and deterrent capability in the region.”
The encounter not only prevented ISWAP from regaining momentum in the cross-border corridor but also served as a stern warning to foreign and local jihadist elements seeking to exploit border vulnerabilities.

“The bravery, skill, and resolve of the troops on both sides of the frontier have ensured that our communities remain protected, and terrorists are reminded that any attempt to avenge defeats or project terror will be met with resolute force,” the officer concluded. The MNJTF has reaffirmed its commitment to sustained operations, border surveillance, and intelligence-led interventions to degrade terrorist capabilities and safeguard regional security in the Lake Chad Basin.
