The guy in the second pic must be the commanding officer... I see him with a side arm... And most of the soldiers are well kitted I see vest and helmets.. kudos to N.A on taking the battle readiness of the troops into heart

KDF Somalia

A Nigerian was shot, while 10 were beheaded by ISWAP on the 25th of December. I'm expecting the Nigerian Airforce should have respond hard by bombing the hell out of ISWAP locations by now. I just dey imagine the kin bomb wey go don waste on top ISIS if this were 11 Russians that were killed in Syria or if it were 11 Americans that were killed in such a barbaric way just because an idiot bombed himself to death in Iraq

russians and Americans perform air raids because it isnt their country.

These people out of anger,bomb civilian environments because of few terrorists hiding there.

How can Nigeria air force raid iswap without prior Intel? Unless you want high civilian casualties

Lol. Let's tmsee the professional heights of our security forces..

oga, even their grandmaster boko haram no fit hold siege for abuja.

I no be cop, but isn't it just common sense to tape off a crime scene? crowd control etc, see how disorganized they are
@5.45 or so into the video, this silly cop was dragging a suspect behind him, without restraint, while suspect's fingers were literally a few inches from this cop's guns, which was swinging behind him. A cop unaware if his gun is secure, lord have mercy
All i see in that video no dirt, even the cops look dirty, smh

its not gonna work with nigerians....
too rough....

dont expect nigeria to become like western nations....
but the job was still done....thats important....chaotic,but the job was done....

am more surprised all agencies reacted....
police,army and people that i dont even know exist....they were all their....

Attitude like that is why things will never change, it's the mentality.
We shouldn't be praising lack of training, discipline etc, nothing in that video is good enough, we should strive to do better, not be content with bs.
Those in Western countries didn't fall from heaven, they disciplined and trained themselves, it's not rocket science.
They do that in a real country where professionalism is key, every single one of those cops will be taken off the street until they are re-trained
But hey, if it's good enough for Nigerians right? Then all good

why is it that most people and Nigerians likes to compare everything this country does to other nations?
Why cant we appreciate what we have and move on?

Person will go to another man's land, and start comparing it with his own country?

There was a robbery and the security operatives responded swiftly without no civilian and security casualties.. instead of been positive, we re here comparing professionalism this professionalism that?

Are we western ? Must we do like western to be contempted?

Nigerians are so used to "jaga-jaga" things that they know best practices anymore.

Thank you jare. Some kind arguments here surprises me. That is why I dont comment here much.

I hope you open eyes well my brother.
Or you missed the part where i asked if those in Western countries fell from heaven?
Or the fact that i wasn't even the one who brought up Western countries.
Hell right there in Algeria them get better police lol, no need bringing up Western countries for comparison. Quote the right person next time.
I mean how the heck are you dragging a suspect behind you while he can easily reach for you rifle, which was also behind you lol, while that suspect was not restrained. Jeez, you need to be a westerner to know that was stupid?
I be black man who no be cop, and i can see the numerous mistakes these cops made in that video. Well, good luck with all that though, thank god dem no start slapping each other fighting over which agency should lead the operation

Exploring innovative potentials in Nigeria Army
December 25, 2019 Editorial IV 0





Buratai




A lot of innovations have emanated from the military authorities’ research and development initiative in line with the desire of the Nigeria Army to enhance its operational effectiveness through research and development.
This is a far cry from the narratives in the past bothering on over reliance on foreign initiatives and armaments before the military could prosecute any battle be it local or outside the country.
This is also part of the vision of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, to have a professionally responsive Nigeria Army in the discharge of its constitutional roles.
In response to these needs, the army signed a partnership agreement with the Defence Industries Cooperation of Nigeria (DICON) not too long ago to collaborate with the Command Engineering Depot (CED) Kaduna for the mass production of vehicles for the military’s counter insurgency and other operations across the country especially with the spare of insecurity challenges in the form of insurgency, kidnapping, banditry, armed robbery and criminal tendencies all over the place.
More so, the partnership agreement was in furtherance of the government’s effort to reduce reliance on foreign countries to acquire the needed equipment for its operations towards addressing the prevailing security challenges.


DICON was established by an Act of Parliament in 1964 to produce weapons and other equipment for the nation’s armed forces and reduces reliance on foreign suppliers. This was around the same time similar institution was established in Brazil whose own had been functional since then.
It is also charged to develop the local capacity of the officers and men to collaborate with its strategic partners to produce research outcomes that would lead to local production of military hardwares within the country.
In the last one month, one of the results of such effort is the successful fabrication and production of indigenous Mines Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles nicknamed EZUGWU MRAP which is made up of over 70 per cent local resources and 100 per cent fabricated by local engineers.
At the opening of the 2019 Chief of Army Staff Annual Conference on December 3, President Muhammadu Buhari unveiled the first set of Ezugwu MRAP vehicle, named in honour of Major-General Victor Ezugwu for his performance against insurgents in the North-east region.
The features of the Ezugwu MRAP are reinforced to withstand small arms fire ranging from 7.62 mm to 12.7 mm from a distance of 10 metres.Other features include the Infant Patrol Vehicles (IPVs) produced by DICON in collaboration with NACED in Kaduna
Using innovative and revolutionary flat-bottom technology, it can resist improvised explosive and mine blast up to 12 kg under the vehicle as well as double enclosed turret which can traverse 360 degrees and both turrets can mount all types of munitions in the Nigerian Army inventory.
For exceptional maneuvering ability, Ezugwu MRAP comes with an independent suspension system, a 4×4 wheel drive and a 615 WD turbo diesel engine, mounted in the front of the armoured hull designed from the ground up on the Tatra 4×4 chassis.


Other vehicles produced by DICON and CED are the Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) designed with the utmost precision for armed forces and other law enforcement agencies with wide arrays of available options and configurations.
The options include SPV Attack, SPV Trooper and SPV Carrier as well as the Infantry Patrol Vehicle (IPV) which is a light non-armoured patrol vehicle designed for quick personnel insertion, patrol and special forces related operations.
According to the user information, the IPV design was borne out of the need to create a vehicle that is civilian-friendly especially in highly volatile areas and yet satisfy operational requirement.
Similarly, the army engineers also invented and produced mobile borehole driller and fuel-less power generator specially designed to provide facility support for the troops in the battle field as well as mobile field kitchen and mobile bakery powered by solar energy.


At the inauguration ceremony in Kaduna on December 3, President Buhari commended the collaborative effort of DICON and Command Engineering Depot with relevant indigenous organisations to promote local content towards the development of the military industrial complex.
He said that the production of Ezugwu MRAP and other infantry patrol vehicles was a testimony that the research and development efforts of Nigerian Army had yielded positive results.


The Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin, said that the intended benefits of research and development in Nigerian military was even more significant in contemporary times considering the myriad of security challenges confronting the nation.
He said that the Nigeria Army’s giant strides has turned on the new vista of opportunities for the country to become a global competitor in the manufacture of military hardwares.
“The Boko Haram insurgency in particular has provided an appropriate impetus for the Nigeria Army to seriously task the ingenuity of its personnel and come up with innovative ideas to address the current terrorism challenge.
“This is particularly worthy of note because even the terrorists are known to be innovative with captured weapons in the pursuit of their nefarious activities,” he said.
Similarly, Buratai said the vehicles were innovative and inventive products of Nigeria Army’s research and development of its military industrial complex, adding that the Ezugwu MRAP was an entirely indigenous production effort from start to finish by the team of Nigerian army engineers and their partners.
“The vehicles have been tested in the various theatres of operations against Boko Haram insurgents as well as Birnin Gwari area against bandits.’’


Buratai assured that the deployment of the Ezugwu MRAPs to the battle field in the North-east and other parts of the country would be a game changer in the battle against insurgency, banditry and other security challenges confronting the country.NAN

Lemme run first

Some very rare photos of Eritrean Air Force Su-27 Flanker! In 2003 Eritrea bought 2 second hand Su-27 in Ukraine. 1 single seat Su-27 (608) and 1 two seat Su-27UB (609). Both Eritrean Su-27 are stationed at Asmara Airport. Really cool looking camouflage scheme/colours!

Let's go boys

More photos of the 2 Eritrean Air Force operated Su-27 Flanker (608) and (609). The Eritrean AF Su-27 "splinter" camouflage scheme is based on the Ukrainian AF splinter scheme with different colours. ErAF Su-27s are basic Su-27S and UB variants, no Su-27SK or UBK variants!

In 2017 Forca Aerea Nacional Angolana FANA purchased 12 ex Indian AF Su-30K, overhauled and modernized in Baranovichi Belarus which brought them up to "Su-30SM" standard Contract was signed in 2013! They are stationed at Luanda Airport. FANA also operates a single Su-27UB
