No it is not sir .
Beryl and Ak are 2 different products. Kalashnikov designed AK
Lucznik designed Beryl.

Beryl has its variants...so does AK. They are both as different as Samsung is different from Tecno.

And need I remind you sir that Beryllium rifle became fully operational in 1997 by the Polish Military. By that time 21st Century ain't arrived yet

face palm
Ok

iblawi:
Kalashnikov is still the Grandfather to all the variant of Beryl. Even the South African R4,R5,R6,etc are all grandchildren.

Hmmmm I don't get it sir. Because before Kalashnikov there were other ARs.
Pls enlighten me...

You'd have been enlightened if you actually perused the internet. The Beryl, Galil ,ACE and host of rifles use the same operating mechanism of the AK 47

NIGERIAN AIR FORCE ENGAGES IN COMMUNITY SERVICE IN LAGOS

The Logistics Command of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on, 18 November 2017, organized an environmental sanitation exercise for residents of Mafoluku, Shogunle and Ladipo in Oshodi/Isolo Local Government Area of Lagos State, as part of its Quarterly Civil Military Cooperation (CIMIC) outreach programme. The CIMIC Programme, which was aimed at improving the cordial relationship between the NAF and members of the host communities, attracted a large turnout of NAF personnel. Residents of Mafoluku, Shogunle and Ladipo, who were the direct beneficiaries of the Exercise, expressed profound appreciation to NAF personnel for cleaning their environment. The residents, who were very glad at seeing the men in uniform cleaning their communities, expressed their willingness to continue to cooperate and support the NAF in all its activities whenever the need arises. According to the residents, the proximity of the NAF Base to the communities has remained a source of blessing to the host communities. They, therefore, seized the opportunity to commend the NAF for its quick response to distress calls whenever there is a breach of peace in their communities.

The Commander 651 Base Services Group Ikeja, Air Commodore Musibau Olatunji, who was represented by Wing Commander Alfred Ogbonda during the Exercise, stated that the concept of community relations is a crucial departmental activity in the NAF. He noted that engagements with the civil populace enhance relationship between the military and civilians while also encouraging mutual cooperation. According to him, “civilians see the military as unapproachable. We need to interact with them in a manner to show them that we are part of them,” he said. The Base Commander also noted that the Quarterly Exercise would reinforce the confidence and trust of civilians and create the mutual understanding, cooperation and support necessary for the Nigerian Armed Forces to succeed in their operations.

The NAF, under the leadership of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has continued to place a lot of premium on respect for the human rights of members of the general populace and the maintenance of cordial civil-military relations at all NAF bases across the country. About 200 NAF personnel keenly participated in the sanitation exercise.

- the first pic with a guy with odd T-shirt, his a NN camo T-shirt. I sense the guy is an instructor borrowed from the Navy for that particular exercise. just gussing but the T-shirt is definately Navy.

for the Fedora; the Nigeria Navy and Airforce uses it also.

NAF COMMISSIONS RESIDENTIAL ACCOMMODATION BLOCK IN LAGOS, IMMORTALIZES LATE C-130H AIRCRAFT PILOT
​
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) yesterday, 23 November 2017, commissioned a block of 6 x 3-bedroom flats for officers’ accommodation at the Sam Ethnan Air Force Base in Lagos. The residential block was named after late Squadron Leader Promise Gbenekannu, a C-130H aircraft pilot, who died on board a NAF C-130H aircraft while on a logistics resupply mission to troops fighting insurgency and terrorism in the North East. Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, represented by the Air Officer Commanding Logistics Commanding (AOC LC), Air Vice Marshal (AVM) Ibrahim Yahaya, stated that it was appropriate for the Base to receive commensurate attention in the provision of facilities for the general well being of the personnel. This was necessitated by the fact that majority of the families of personnel working in different operational areas across reside within the Base.
According to the CAS, “We have embarked on the construction of new quarters as well as renovation and rehabilitation of dilapidated buildings to address the infrastructural decay of the past. Arrangements are in top gear to address many other areas of infrastructural deficit, including the renovation of more accommodation facilities as well as rehabilitation of roads and drainage systems in the Base”. “It is hoped that this would create an enabling environment and motivation for personnel to discharge their duties effectively and efficiently”, he said. The CAS said the NAF would continue to do its best to discharge its statutory responsibility of defending the territorial integrity of the nation. While charging the beneficiaries to properly maintain the accommodation, the CAS expressed appreciation to the Federal Government for the continued support to the military, especially the NAF. He therefore enjoined personnel to sustain the efforts at repositioning the NAF into a highly professional and disciplined force for effective, efficient and timely employment of air power.

Earlier, the Senior Air Staff Officer (SASO) Logistics Command, AVM Ibukun Ojeyemi, who delivered the welcome address on behalf of the AOC LC, noted that the project was part of the value additions that were continuously being made by the current NAF administration in line with the mantra of the CAS that “There is no finishing line in the race to add value to the society”. He added that 3 other projects were ongoing to further meet the growing accommodation need occasioned by the expansion of the Service in response to national security imperatives.

In recent times, the morale of NAF personnel has been increasingly getting higher as the perennial accommodation challenge within the NAF gets gradually resolved, all thanks to the timely provision of funds by the Federal Government Administration and the focused leadership of the CAS. Present at the commissioning ceremony were the family of the late C-130H aircraft pilot as well as senior officers, both serving and retired.

No the Squadron leader collapsed and died during a flight. luckily he wasn't the only one onboard.

just imagine a scenario where there where only two pilots available and the other died mid-air without a co-pilot to help.....

what happens, do our 130 transport aircraft has auto-pilot capabilities.

Well they have auto pilot, Crews are trained for such emergencies too. for the Charlie's, I think three pilots usually fly with one doing the navigation plus other crews too like the engineer, load master and co. I heard there were six others that day.

Yeah, signing a new deal with nice for 300 combat vehicles, a 2-Billion-Dollar blog.

The French newspaper stated that an Egyptian delegation was present in the french capital of Paris this week to negotiate a new fighters deal for the Egyptian Air Force, and the sources did not exclude the Qatar of Egypt to sign the additional deal deal.

I also read that somewhere, although I can't remember where, so can't really confirm. Anybody got any info on this?

Finally somebody figured it out, I ve been going through this posts and I swear I ve heard enough of super tucano to last me a life time. Stolen funds were stashed on an island belonging to US, arrangements have been made to transfer the money to Nigeria but US blocked it saying the money is in dollars so they have a claim on it (absurd) we fought tooth and nail then they changed tactics saying unless they or IMF or World Bank are allowed to "manage the money for us" (presumptuous) to avoid mismanagement, it will not be released. So we are virtually paying zero naira for 12 tucanos with infrastructure, training, guided munitions e.t.c. a favourable deal in my opinion.
