I love the fact its been done in Nigeria

jpphilips:
Are you saying what you know or what you think? A military enthusiast like you was not aware Nigeria got CH-3 doesn't mean those Nigerians with SIPRI, UNROCA & SALW access are not aware, which of those accesses do you have?
Nigeria has been a signatory to ATT since 2013 so every pin in our military inventory is reported under several ATT implementation frameworks like those I mentioned above.
It is silly to say the "whole world knew" just when the CH-3 crashed, that's an irresponsible statement, Nigeria reported that acquisition in 2013 to the best of my knowledge, sometime in 2014, when another batch arrived, it was again reported, it crashed sometime in January 2015, Nigeria again reported it.
Agreed, China the supplier wasn't ATT bound but Nigeria reported it as an international obligation, you dont have access doesnt mean its hidden.
You can't hide arms transfer anymore, that age has long gone, except of course you are waiting for the press.
Algeria & Egypt are not ATT compliant so I dont expect to see what they buy however, except they make that equipment locally, the transfer country is likely gonna report it, 5 out of 10 top arms manufacturers are ATT compliant, while 103 countries are already signatories, the chances of Algeria & Egypt hiding transfers is currently slim but not impossible.

PJSC “AutoKrAZ” Announces Strategic Partnership with Nigerian Proforce Limited
PJSC AUTOKRAZ, the largest Ukrainian producer of heavy-duty vehicles has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Proforce Limited, a total defence solution provider to jointly assemble military and civilian grade KrAZ trucks in Nigeria.

The multiple collaboration agreement between PJSC “AutoKrAZ” and Proforce Limited Company will see the manufacture of heavy-duty off road trucks, under the brand KRAZ-PROFORCE. These vehicles will be produced to highest international standards of quality and customer’s needs for both civil and military markets.

A WONDERFUL AND COLOURFUL OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE MEDAL PRESENTATION PARADE AND NIGERIAN ARMY SOCIAL ACTIVITIES (NASA) 2019 HELD AT GWOZA

I had the rare privilege of attending the historic and colourful Operation LAFIYA DOLE Medal Presentation Parade and Nigerian Army Social Activities (NASA) 2019, held on 30th December 2019 at Nigerian Army Super Camp Gwoza, Borno State.

It was very wonderful and great pride to be in the midst of the gallant officers and soldiers of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, their allies from MNJTF including; Chad, Cameroon and Niger Republic, as well as Nigeria Police Force, NSCDC personnel and other security agencies at the event.

It was heartwarming to observe the rate of progress and transformation achieved both in Gwoza LGA and the theatre generally. The journey from Maiduguri to Gwoza through Konduga, Bama and Pulka brought very fond memories of the days I was in service and when we traversed the terrain, recalling exploits and sacrifices of our gallant troops in the fight against the Boko Haram Terrorist group on that axis.

It was also gratifying to see how life has gradually picked up in those areas, bearing in mind that they were once territories held by the terrorists in the years gone by.

I was so impressed by the level of camaraderie among the troops and really felt very proud of them. In fact, I became very emotional when the troops displayed the photographs of some of our gallant officers and men that paid the supreme price in the fight against terrorism and insurgency in Nigeria.

I recall with pride the sacrifices made by the Armed Forces of Nigeria, the Police, other Security agencies, patriotic civilian JTF and other Nigerians to rid our nation with the menace of terrorism.

One other impressive innovation that caught my attention was the recognition, honour and instant promotion awarded to the 5 gallant soldiers, one civilian JTF and a local hunter that did exceptionally well during the fight against terrorism and insurgency in the north east.

I really remain grateful and happy that I was able to witnessed this occasion. I could not wish for anything better to round up 2019.

Congratulations guys we made 2020


May the joy of new year last forever in your life. May you find the light that guide you towards your desired destination. Happy 2020!

Welcome to come 2020...
New innovation
New ideas
New Hardware
Amen....

Happy New Year Fellas, I'm still a few hours behind, how's 2020 looking on the other side
jln115, special happy new yr to ya, saw my name on your list
And Mr bidexiii, keep up the good work

PRESS RELEASE

NIGERIAN ARMY TROOPS WRAP UP YEAR 2019 WITH THE DECIMATION OF MORE BOKO HARAM/ISWAP CRIMINALS AND THE RESCUE OF SOME WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN THE NORTH EAST

As the year 2019 drew to a close, the gallant troops of the Nigerian Army continued to sustain their onslaught against remnants of the Boko Haram and Islamic State's West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists in the North East, decimating many of them and rescuing some women and children in the process.

The gallant troops also destroyed the criminals’ hideouts, captured their flags, recovered16 arrows and 32 refilled rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition during the encounter. The discovery of refilled ammunition is indicative of acute shortage of ammunition and related resources in the criminals’ holding.

In a related development, troops of 25 Task Force Brigade deployed at Nigerian Army Super Camp 2 Damboa in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State, on 25 December 2019 conducted a sting operation and arrested one high profile Boko Haram informant/logistics supplier named Ibrahim Bulama Buba and 2 others suspected to be his couriers at Shuwari village in Damboa District.

The troops engaged the marauding Boko Haram criminals in a fierce fire fight forcing them to speedily retreat in disarray towards Garere Village, a critical gateway in Guzamala LGA leading into the Lake Chad Tumbuns.
The troops conducted a thorough search of the illegal market place and in the process recovered and destroyed 15 vehicles belonging to the Boko Haram criminals, arrested 75 suspected Boko Haram criminals’ agents and equally rescued 147 civilians among whom were 79 males and 68 females who had been under the captivity of the criminal elements. The rescued civilians were conveyed to a humanitarian facility in Monguno and thereafter handed over to officials of Borno State Emergency Management Agency. The children among them were administered with polio vaccine by the Buratai Intervention Task Force Initiative.

In the North West, on 23rd December, 2019, troops of 17 Brigade, while on a clearance operation, encountered 2 bandits on a motorcycle along Faskari-Zanfarawa Road in Faskari LGA of Katsina State and engaged them in a hot pursuit. Troops recovered one locally fabricated Pump Action Gun.

Accordingly, the resilient troops neutralized one of the bandits and recovered one AK 47 Rifle loaded with 13 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition, alongside the rustled animals.

Also of significant note, troops of 1 Division Garrison on 25 December 2019 during security patrols arrested one Mr Moses Ali with a locally made gun loaded with 9 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition at Ningon Gari in Sanga LGA of Kaduna State. The same gallant troops arrested 7 suspects during a Cordon and Search operations conducted at 13 settlements of Kuyeri Mountains along Jere – Kagarko Road in Kagarko LGA of Kaduna State.

Earlier, on 24 December 2019, the Chairmen of both Langtang North and South LGAs of Plateau State handed over recovered weapons and accessories from repentant militias to the troops of Nigerian Army Forward Operational Base, Shendam.

Who's this dude?

Thanks to the gallant troops of the Nigerian Army, the suspected BHT that attempted an attack on Ajiri village and Michika in Adamawa State today evening, paid dearly with their lives. The gallant troops have also recovered weapons and equipment from the terrorists. Kudos to the Nigerian Army.

I don't think this is so off Topic. What the US just did may have far-reaching implications even for us especially with EL zakzaky and the shitte movement that he controls in Nigeria. I hope our intelligence services and DSS would be especially observant to make sure the Iranians don't use their Nigerian proxies to unleash Mayhem right here in the name of getting back at trump and America. May God keep us all safe

Well said.
BHT slaughtered innocent Christians during the Christmas period in a video, calling it a retaliation for the killing of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi by the United States.
