That photo dates back to 2015 and Pakistan Defence that was quoted called them Nigerian Special Forces, so could well be SBS at the time as they are dressed like them.

NA bastardized it when they started making the ct-coin course look like some Hercules/Samson training school

So true They should call themselves a specialist or tactical team and NA, SOF.

Meet Elijah, a solid brother I got the privilege to spend time with this morning. 
He spent 5 years studying engineering at the Nigerian military academy before coming to train with the US @laughlin_afb 
His dad is a pastor in Nigeria, watching over the souls of God’s people. Elijah hopes to defend the skies over that same land, and be God’s hand of justice to the evil His country is facing. 
So far we’ve only flown in the altitude chamber together, but in a few short weeks he’ll be on the line with engines hot! May God be glorified in all you do, brother!

She was the star at the Ghana Navy @60 anniversary many people admired her and we're suprised at the Nigeria naval architecture...GHana may order 10 from Nigeria

The head of the Naval Dockyard was saying the FG could order 10 SDBs from the dockyard, not Ghana.

Nice picture

We hope for many more nice(r) pictures of Ara in future

EVarn:
I hope we can get hundreds of these(or of even more advanced variants) in the future. We really need them for land offensive.

5 more expected in the next few weeks. It is a start at least.

ARAII inducted on the frontlines.
