should NAF acquire something like this or it's far fetched

Before you get a system like the SAAB Global Eye, you have to have a pretty large fighter force, I'm talking a minimum of 40 units of 4th Gen fighter jets, if not it's a waste of resources as you won't be able to maximize the full potential of the system.

With regards to our surveillance capabilities, for the size of our Air Force, our ISR capabilities is pretty decent.

If you add the new ISR planes the navy/NIMASA is getting, our surveillance capabilities is further greatly improved.

No it's not. The Nigerian Air Forces designates it as a transport helicopter. It's primary role is transportation. It is just armed with a rocket pod.

The A-109K is used primarily to carry out light attack missions, it is designated as an attack helicopter in NAF service. It was purchased to perform that role. It has much more improved engines and avionics to allow it perform that role.

2 different helicopters.

FIGHT AGAINST INSURGENCY RECEIVES BOOST AS NAF SETS TO ESTABLISH A VIRTUAL FOB IN DAMATURU

In order to further boost the response capability of the Air Task Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE to threats in Yobe State, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is set to establish a virtual Forward Operating Base (FOB), with a helipad and refueling facilities, in Damaturu, the State capital. This was made known by the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, yesterday, 25 May 2020, while on an inspection of the facilities in Damaturu. This is just as the Yobe State Governor, Honourable Mai Mala Buni, who later accompanied the CAS on the inspection of the helipad, commended the NAF and the ATF for their immense contributions towards ensuring a gradual return to normalcy in the State.

In his remarks at Government House Damaturu before the inspection, Governor Buni said the fact that the Eid-el-Fitr Celebrations were marked in relative peace was as a result of the bravery and commitment of NAF pilots who not only conduct daring air raids on terrorists’ locations to destroy their facilities and neutralize their fighters but also respond speedily to distress calls to support their comrades fighting on land when locations in the State are under attack. He said Yobe State would remain indebted to the NAF for such commitment and would therefore continue to support all initiatives of the Service to enhance its capacity to respond to any threat in the State. Governor Buni equally thanked the CAS for his support in the realization of the Damaturu International Cargo Airport project, which he said would witness its first test flight on Friday, 29 May 2020.

Earlier in his remarks, Air Marshal Abubakar, appreciated Governor Buni for his personal commitment and tireless efforts that had facilitated the speedy execution of the helipad project. He noted that the enhancement of NAF facilities in Damaturu would reduce reaction time and ensure greater effectiveness and efficiency in mission accomplishment. He said this would even make it easier for the ATF to sustain the surveillance of the Maiduguri - Damaturu Highway which had brought some level of succour to commuters. The CAS said the NAF, working in synergy with sister Services and other security agencies, would maintain the tempo of operations with a view improving security in Yobe State.

The CAS, who was accompanied on the visit by Branch Chiefs and Directors from Headquarters NAF as well as the Commander ATF, has since returned to Abuja.

let's just agree to disagree for the sake of the thread

There is nothing to agree to disagree. The designation of an equipment in a military service determines it's use.

NNS Karaduwa is a Seaward Defence Boat in Nigeria, in other navies, it is called a Midshore Patrol Boat.

Stop being Stubborn mate we've had this argument before and my point is still that the A109 was, is and never will be an Attack Helicopter simply because you strap rocked pods on to it.

Now let it go you do you and ill do me!
