Both are Unmanned Aerial vehicles.

But one is designed specifically for combat UCAV; Unmanned combat aerial vehicle ie; they carry munition. While the other UAV; Unmanned aerial vehicle is a non-combat drone.

I mentioned armed UAV ( u missed the ' armed ' ) and UCAV , otherwise what u said is correct in the context of UAV and UCAV

Anyways the primary difference is

Armed UAVs r for ops in uncontested airspace ( ie in airspace not under the threat of hostile air assets )

UCAVs r for ops in contested airspace ( ie in the presence of hostile air assets )

I don’t know their names but they are both Cameroon navy sister ships P108 and P109.

I don’t think the pictures are too recent either.

These type of AK riffles these Airforce regiments are wielding are just new

AK-47L. However, they are not the first operators in Nigeria.

MOPOL units have been spotted using these on UN PKOs.

NAF COMMISSIONS ACCOMMODATION FOR PERSONNEL IN BAUCHI

In line with its commitment to continually enhance the welfare of its personnel for effective and efficient service delivery, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) today, 18 October 2018, commissioned 2 additional furnished blocks of 6 x one bedroom flats of single officers’ accommodation at the NAF Base Bauchi. With today’s commissioning, the drive of the current NAF leadership to increase accommodation sufficiency for personnel, especially those serving in the North East, has been given a further boost. Speaking during the commissioning, the Guest of Honour, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, represented by the Chief of Administration, Headquarters NAF, Air Vice Marshal Kingsley Lar, stated that the project was geared towards enhancing the welfare of personnel to enable them focus on their duties and contribute more meaningfully in adding value to the Service. While congratulating the beneficiaries of the new accommodation, the CAS enjoined them to make the best use of the facilities and also ensure its proper maintenance at all times. Air Marshal Abubakar also seized the opportunity to thank the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari for the continued support that had enabled the NAF record numerous remarkable feats within the past 3 years.

Earlier in his welcome address, the Commander 251 Base Services Group Bauchi, Group Captain Mohammed Aliyu, expressed appreciation to the CAS, under whose visionary leadership the NAF has been soaring to greater heights. According to him, the newly commissioned project would further reduce the burden of accommodation on the Base. Dignitaries at the commissioning ceremony included the representative the Bauchi State Governor and Special Adviser on Security, Brigadier General Yusuf Ladan retired as well as the Commandant Nigerian Army Armoured School and Comptroller Nigeria Immigration Service Bauchi State, among others. It would be recalled that the NAF had, in July this year, also commissioned 2 blocks of Commanders’ Quarters, one block of 6 x 2 bedroom Married Senior Non-Commissioned Officers’ (NCOs) Quarters, one block of 10 x single room NCOs’ accommodation in NAF Base Bauchi to boost the morale of troops engaged in the counter terrorism operations in the North East and other internal security operations across the country.

Yes, they did. It is a notoriously tough patrol exercise and some participants even withdraw injured sometimes.

That’s impossible, they number in the thousands.
I don’t mean special operations forces.

The last 3-4 days have been quiet in NE.

I thought you were refering to the guy's trained by the British.I know NAF has had a QRF for a long time.

Tufiakwa! I seriously hope not

If silence persists for more than one week, then you and I know what to think.

Anything is possible, the execution of the ICRC health worker Hauwa Leman really put FG under pressure.

Elections are around the block and political opponents will use such events to score cheap points, so FG is under pressure to prevent such things from happening and the only way to do that is negotiate or carry out Hollywood style commando raids to rescue hostages.

The 3rd option is to continue what I think their current approach is right now, stall.
