Pics were taken before May 2015
All the photos were taken during the 6 weeks high intensity operation. They are all in the same time frame.

Its the Official word of a Nigerian Army Committee investigating your fraudulent military

Fact is that those platforms have been so poorly managed that they are no longer operational!!

Dont fight with me, fight with them!

A political witch-hunt doesn't equal fact.

You see this one........ This one is very interesting, and here is why.


The report claims NAF only received 2 MI-24V Helicopters, however, the photo evidence makes rubbish of the report.

NAF 526

NAF 260

NAF 261


All are clearly new additions.

I dont care about what you say, I care about factual opinion from Nigerian Military High Command:


the status of NAF fleet remained operationally appalling as only 3 Alpha-Jets, 2 C-130H and one each of Mi-24V and Mi-35P were serviceable as at 28 May 15.

[quote author=Henry240 post=42324310][/quote]Yes, one crashed and one Mi-24V and Mi-35P left

Nigeria signed a contract with the Russians in December 2014, for the delivery of 6 MI-35M Helicopters and 12 MI-17 terminator1sh Helicopters in Baku, Azerbaijian.

18 Rotary wings in all



Russia and Nigeria have signed a
contract for the supply of Mi-171Sh and
Mi-35 helicopters, Rosoboronexport
deputy general director Sergei
Goreslavsky told reporters Friday.
MOSCOW, September 12 (RIA Novosti) –

And the deliveries of these assets have already begun. MI-17 terminator and MI-35M Helicopters have been delivered.


However according to the committee, none of this happened.

Ukraine does not sell MI-35Ps. Ukraine only sells MI-24Vs.
MI-35P = Double barrel 30mm
MI-24Vs = Quad barrel, chin mounted 12.7mm.

All 3 Helicopters from Ukraine ( NAF 526, NAF 260, NAF 261) are Mi-24V's.

How is a committee reports that can't even get the facts right be considered as factual?

Isn't it ironic?



So let us look at NAFs Hangar in Yola, Adamawa state. There are atleast 4 Light Utility Helicopters inside that Hangar, At-least 4 Fennecs with a CH-3A drone.


I mean, are we not seeing the same Helicopters?

1. It does not say Mi35M

2. Only 2 of these Mi35's are operational

Talk about incompetent... lol we have more operational attack helicopters in the DRC than Nigeria has in total!!

Nope, you can only see the gun on one helo... so no real evidence there.

No one is saying they dont exist... they are referring to one deal where the wrong Mi35s were bought

With regards to the rest of your fleet they are simply saying they are not operational.

Mighty DICON - selling second hand 40 year old ammunition

The Committee also found that the delivered ammunition were about 40 years old, thereby casting doubts on their shelf life. The failure of DICON to fully execute the contract and the delivery of aged ammunition diminished the capacity of the NAF in North East operation.

So much for "building your own ammunition"

-A deal was signed for the delivery of 6 MI-35M Helicopters and 12 MI-17 terminator Helicopters. Rosonbonexport confirms this deal. The deal was signed in Baku


- at-least 2 MI-17 terminator1SH from this deal have been delivered to NAF, which we can confirm.


- At-least 3 MI-24Vs were purchased from Ukraine. All of them in desert camo. Nigerian MI-35ps are in woodland camo



- The evidence provided just doesn't conform with that claim that the rest of the fleet aren't operational bar 7 assets. Evidence doesn't support this.

NO one is arguing about that deal.

Evidence does support the findings of the Committee... I think they know more than you.

Only 7 assets operational... pa-the-tic

You are arguing about two different things.

1. In a certain deal, obsolete un-airworthy helos were purchased, you have provided no info to dispute this (Show us tail numbers + the front of each helo)

2. Only 7 assets were operational at the time of the report.

If you have a beef, consult the Committee

The deal for the MI-35Ms, I've showed deliveries have already begun.

You have 9 Gripen pilots, none combat qualified.


I've proved your source on the Nigerian Air Force to be unreliable, and nothing more than a political witch-hunt.
