ROYAL JORDANIAN AIR FORCE TO COLLABORATE WITH NIGERIAN AIR FORCE ON COUNTERTERRORISM

The visiting Commander of the Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF), Major General Yousef Alhnaity, has pledged the readiness of the RJAF to collaborate with the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) in the fight against terrorism, militancy and other forms of violent extremism. He made the commitment today, 25 September 2017, during his visit to the Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, at the NAF Headquarters, Abuja. According to him, the world is now fighting a new brand of warfare that requires collaboration. The Commander, who was accompanied by a delegation of officers from RJAF, stated that “Air Power” was the way to go, if the country must contain the war against terrorism. He added that RJAF would provide the NAF with required logistics, aircraft spare parts as well as training of NAF pilots and engineers while soliciting other areas of assistance for RJAF.

In his response, Air Marshal Abubakar said that the 21st Century conflict was characterised with armed fight against non-state actors. He also reiterated that no country could singlehandedly defeat terrorism, no matter how powerful. He added that recent NAF advocacy visits to countries like the United States of America, United Kingdom, Russia, Pakistan, Egypt, Morroco, Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom of Jordan were therefore aimed at building strong partnerships with friendly nations. The CAS stated that the NAF was committed to the budding partnership with RJAF. According to him, three NAF pilots had already been trained in Jordan and another set was about to depart for training. He also indicated the readiness of the NAF to offer assistance to the RJAF, especially in the area of Research and Development in which the NAF has been recording major feats.

The top Jordanian military chief also visited the recently established Air Force Comprehensive Girls School Abuja, where he expressed his satisfaction with the standard of teaching facilities in the school. Thereafter, he paid a courtesy call on the Chief of Defence Staff at the Defence Headquarters. Major General Yousef Alhnaity and members of his delegation are set to proceed on a visit to selected NAF bases, including Maiduguri and Yola, where he would interact with NAF frontline pilots. The NAF would continue to take every necessary step to fulfil its constitutional mandate of preserving the territorial integrity of the nation.

Nigeria expecting fighter jets from Russia, US, Pakistan, UAE.


The Chief of Air Staff , Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar , has said the Nigerian Air Force is expecting new fighter aircraft from no fewer than four countries to boost its capabilities .
He listed the countries as Russia , the United States of America , Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates.
Abubakar , who identified the NAF’ s challenges as insufficient aircraft and low aircraft serviceability, said his men were working towards “ more professionalism to meet the security imperatives . ”
The air force chief stated this on Saturday at a lecture delivered to the Senior Course 40 at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College , Jaji , Kaduna State .
The lecture was titled , ‘ The Nigerian Air Force in Contemporary Warfare ; the Chief of the Air Staff ’ s Vision for Future Engagements . ’
According to Abubakar , while Nigeria is expecting eight Mi- 35 M attack helicopters from Russia , it is also waiting for the Super Tucano aircraft from the United States .
Moreover , there are five Super Mushshak aircraft expected from Pakistan , while the Yabhon Flash 20 Remote Piloted aircraft is also expected from the UAE .
Abubakar added , “ The enormous cost of aircraft acquisition and maintenance infers that such should be carved out as extra - budgetary expenditure while platform maintenance and upgrade must also be moved from recurrent to capital expenditure .
“ From a total of 10 Mi- 35 M helicopters expected , the service has already acquired two , while an additional two are in the production line and to be delivered soon . There is also an indication of the sale of the Super Tucano aircraft by the United States Government.
“ Furthermore, out of the expected 10 Super Mushshak primary trainer aircraft procured , five have been inducted into the NAF inventory to enhance flight training .
“ In the same vein , efforts are ongoing for the acquisition of the Super Tucano Light Attack Aircraft and delivery of the Yabhon Flash 20 Remote Piloted Aircraft. ”
The air chief stated that the NAF also had to compete with local and international aviation industry for the limited aviation engineers in the country.

What fighter jets? One is an attack helicopter, the other a turboprop attack aircraft. Another is a basic trainer aircraft while the last is a UAV. So where are the "fighter-jets"?
