NA troops and SOF do use NVG.
But the question is how often do they make use of them or how available or what numbers we have them ?
Even western or European countries cannot not provide for all there soldiers, these equipment are very expensive to get and to maintain.

In real life scenarios you only need NVG for special operations carried out in the night.
Expensive is relative.

In this regard they are not expensive.

What may be expensive to Nigeria will not be expensive to USA, NATO, Russia, etc

All modern armies will have optic sights as standard for nearly all of thier combatants as well as body armour. Access to NVG is available to all combatants if required.

I have watched a few videos of NA in a fire fight situation and l noticed not all of them had basic body armour.

hi everyone.

Nigeria air force pilots have lot of experience F7 combat aircraft. Why not buying the Guizhou JL-9, also known as the FTC-2000 Mountain Eagle. This aircraft is a F7 with a new wing, a forward fuselage with side air intakes, and a glass cockpit. The engine, empennage, and mechanical controls of the F7 are retained. It is a multi-role combat fighter aircraft and one of the cheapest multirole fighters on the market with the aim to replace old legacy fighters ( like the F7).
For the moment, Nigeria air force will have many FTC-2000 (on which pilots have already lot of experience) as regular combat aircraft and few JF-17 as high end combat aircraft.

That's a nonsense aircraft. How could a country be buying JF17, looking at the SU 35 fpr possible acquisition and still be thinking of FTC-2000?

Please pay attention to detail.

Having immediate access to NVG when and if required is different from NVG being standard issue for all combatants.

What I did say " don't misquote " is that for most modern armies optic sights is standard for most assault rifles.

Considering future threats and the adventurism going on within our vicinity.

I think this is something the NAF should look at.

And when one soldier emptied a magazine of bullet into the body of the superior , and rejoiced afterwards, some of Una were believing the army side of the story of ordinary pass denial. Lol.

You think if this soldier eventually does the same to the superior, he won't feel justified.

The culture of cruelty in the army will make anyone psychologically unbalanced. Even the Brits that inculcated that culture into our military are no more doing it again , cause it's archaic and counter productive at best.

The Presidency Thursday said various nits of the Nigerian Armed Forces, in coordinated operations, across the country between March 18 and December 30, 2020 had eliminated over 2,403 terrorists, bandits, kidnappers and criminals of other sorts.

Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, stated this in “a checklist of successes of the Nigerian Armed Forces”, released to State House reporters in commemoration of this year’s Armed Forces Remembrance Day.

He said this was in addition to terrorists and bandits killed during air strikes by the Nigeria Air Force.

The checklist segmented the achievements into regions with special attention on the activities in the northeast mostly affected by the activities of the Boko Haram terrorist group.

The checklist also revealed figures of the rescues of kidnapped victims, recoveries of arms and ammunition, as well as those of stolen petroleum products and crude within the period in review.

“The Armed Forces of Nigeria from 18 March to 30 December, 2020 neutralized 2,403 criminal elements (terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, cattle rustlers, etc.) across the country.

“This is in addition to scores of other terrorists and armed bandits killed during air strikes.

“Troops also rescued a total of 864 kidnapped victims across the country. In addition, a total of 9,684,797 litres of stolen AGO and 33,516,000 litres of DPK were recovered.

“Equally, 1,910 criminal elements were arrested and large cache of arms, ammunition and equipment were recovered during the period.

“Furthermore, a total of 46,581.8 barrels of stolen crude oil and 22,881,257 litres of stolen PMS were recovered by the troops of the Armed Forces of Nigeria”, the checklist said.

Meanwhile, the operation mounted to enforce the recently doused partial closure of the nation’s land borders, known as Operation Swift Response (OSR), led to the seizure of smuggled items and products worth N12.5 billion between August 2019 and December 2020 it lasted.

Earlier in Abuja yesterday, the Defence Headquarters had said fewer than 64 terrorists were killed in different encounters in the northeast within one week by the troops of Operation Lafiya Dole and its subsidiary Operation Tura Takaibango.

Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Defence Headquarters, Maj.-Gen. John Enenche, disclosed this to journalists in Abuja while giving updates on operations of the military.

He said several other terrorists were also killed and 11 terrorists’ gun trucks and other equipment destroyed in massive air strikes by the Air Task Force during the period.

He said the troops had on January 7, raided a Boko Haram terrorists’ enclave at Goniri and Gorgi in Gujba and Damaturu Local Government Areas of Yobe killing scores and recovered 10 gun trucks from the terrorists.

Enenche said the newly inaugurated subsidiary Operation Tura Takaibango had on January 9, killed 28 terrorists at Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe, stressing that several others escaped with gunshot wounds as well as recovery of one-gun truck and cache of arms and ammunition.

“Similarly, on the same day, troops had an encounter with some BHT/ISWAP terrorists at Gonan Kaji Village along Damaturu-Buni Yadi Road in Yobe. During this period, 30 terrorists were killed while caches of arms and ammunition were recovered.

“In same vein, on Jan. 10, troops engaged with some terrorists at Kafa Village in Damboa Local Government Area of Yobe killing six terrorists and recovering one-gun truck and several weapons,” he said.
