OPERATION HADARIN DAJI AIR COMPONENT DESTROYS ARMED BANDITS’ LOGISTICS WAREHOUSE NEAR BIRNIN KOGO IN ZAMFARA STATE

1. In continuation of the renewed onslaught against armed bandits in parts of the North West and North Central States, the Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI has destroyed a bandits’ logistics warehouse approximately 5Km North of Birnin Kogo in Zamfara State. The air strikes were executed yesterday, 30 May 2020, sequel to Human Intelligence (HUMINT) reports, which were later confirmed by series of aerial surveillance missions, indicating that the large structure was being used by the bandits to store their ammunition, raw rations and other logistics items.

2. Accordingly, the Air Component dispatched a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) attack aircraft to engage the target scoring accurate hits on the warehouse, which went up in flames as a result of its volatile contents, leading to its complete destruction. Four armed bandits guarding the facility were also neutralized as a result of the attack.

3. The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, commends the Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI for their professionalism and directs them to remain resolute in the conduct of air strikes whilst continuing to provide close air support for ongoing ground operations in order to eradicate all armed bandits; thus achieving the directives of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) to restore normalcy in the North West and North Central Zones of the Country.

nemesis8u:
I am wondering who is the savage here

The one shiiting
Or
The ones enjoying the shiit show

Faithful007:
they should first produce piston engines. jet engines are beyond any Nigerian technical school presently.

NASRDA once produced a prototype jet engine....
During an EXPO.

Oasis007:


How many Years have American Military being in Afghanistan? Iraq?! Do they lack military Gears? Kits?!

Let's call Spade a Spade pls. NA Leadership should stop enriching their Purses at the Expense of their Personnel.

Well u can't compare the US and Nigeria Obviously...
They gat the money and Good leaders
And come to think of It Despite the "Kitting" and Stuffs 18yrs in Afghanistan and still.......
Up to 14 Security operatives where killed in Afghanistan last week immediately after the ceasefire.
Also remember the Hospital seige
Now they want to negotiate with the Taliban
Exchanging Prisoners...
Yes we need the kits but if that's what u put your hope on Guy you'll die
Look at the Chadians Those guys with Less kitting they are Very good

Oasis007:


NA is better addressed as Federal Vigilante Group. I've seen many of their Clips on Twitter, to be honest nothing wow with their tactical Discipline and Kits.

At times, you do ask yourself if they are trained at all?! Compare them to NAF recently deploy to tackle Bandits, then you would wonder what's wrong with NA Leadership.

NAF Kits alone would scare off those malnourished Twerps. I wish NAF and SBS can be deployed to replace NA completely in the ongoing Battles, it won't take long to wipe out those bunch of Twits.

Note: last 2 Pics (SBS).

Guy I get your point but your pics doesn't prove it.
These are special forces u posted they are small unit so I'll say it's kinda easier to maintain their kitting unlike a whole infantry of 3000 soilders or more deployed to the Desert / forest for years dude it's never going to be easy providing them kits regularly but it's possible.So I blame the Top greedy officers
I'm in Delta State I've seen troops of Op Delta Safe And the way you describe them isn't the way they look.
They are infantry soilders of 3 battalion warri
And they got every kit including knee pads and Gloves

shogz89:
it's only an embarrassment for a while.. Necessity is the mother of invention.. I would rather have this than send our men on hilux and buffalos. When the desirable is not available, the available becomes desirable..

This is like we need this at the moment thing

Odunayaw:
Well, you could say that but all these here and there things don't speak well of a professional Army sha.

very true at least if they wanted to overhaul maybe Dem nor wan waste all those vehicles Proforce is There (PPP)
Or DICON

Kalapizim:
E tire me too

On the bright side it reduces the number of people who gets to ride in hilux. Better protection for 9 more soldiers.

well what can I say 105 Equipment support group are doing their job
If u check am out e make sense o

komekn:
Senegal is on the periphery but has been very very proactive in prevention as opposed to reactive.

Uganda has been fighting a number of insurgent activities e.g. Lord's Resistance Movement,etc

Kenya has been engaged with Al Shabab both at home and in Somalia.

that's why in terms of kitting I'll give Kenyans a Thumbs up

pacretus:
are they fighting insurgency on their home soil.?

good question also they aren't fighting under the same condition as we are...

I ain't trying to praise Anybody..
I blame the F**king top rank leaders That are seating in Their office.
But....... the comparison nor work at all
Take the ECOWAS deployment to Gambia for Example sef
Nigeria &Sengal Deployment

kabe1:
For real, OK, let's not compare with Europe, they have by far more money than us.

What about Senegal, Uganda and Kenya soldiers. Always well kitted.

I'll go with Kenya but Uganda and Senegal under what condition are they operating.....

kabe1:
What sort of rubbish are you writing.

Who told you all the Navy and Air Force guys in the field are special forces?

NAF Regiment is not a special forces unit, it is the ground combat unit of the Air Force. It is the Panthers that are commandos, the red berets.

NAF Regiment is modeled after RAF Regiment.

You do yourself some good by researching properly before making comments.

still dey don't stay long in the front line..
What about the SBS why didn't u pick dat one out of my Comment
Or are they Just Seamen or whatever Naval infantry
Guy u go do research u supposed know NAF and NN guys in the Front line aren't ordinary Guys

kabe1:
You're talking crap, brother.

How can this many Nigerian soldiers on operation be looking like this?

Do you think this is what professional soldiers dress like?

Guy read before u quote are u telling me that they deployed these guys with polo and kaki to fight.
On a norm You'll have Your Vest, Helmet and Boots na.
Obviously they'll need replacement and dats what I don't know if the army does dat for dem

kabe1:
Nigerian army needs to do better abeg.

You take care of your soldiers and they would have no excuse not to deliver.

Look at Airforce and Navy guys in the field, always looking like very professional soldiers.

Army guys look like rebels, unprofessional and untrained rebels.

those guys are special forces they don't stay long in the front line what do u expect..
Haven't u seen NA special forces too

Somebody should tell Egypt to slowdown first




According to La Repubblica newspaper, the Italian government is set up to approve soon the MEGA defense deal with Egypt that includes:

-6 Frigates including 2x confirmed FREMM Bergamini
-24 M-346 trainer jets
-24 Eurofighter Typhoon jets
-20 Falaj II OPV
-Military Satellite

kabe1:
Can you prove this?

Provide evidence.

Where is the evidence the Nigerian army properly kits her personnel.

You can provide boots once, then that's it.

Bullet proof is now becoming nonexistent for front line soldiers.

Like I told you in the other thread, always back your comments with facts, in other to avoid mockery.

if you're talking about providing them regularly well I can't tell..
But been deployed you'll have ur vest and boots dazzoll

kabe1:
There are so many things the army is not providing for front line troops. Appropriate uniforms, bulletproof vests, combat boots so many, many basic things.

You see a Navy guy in the field, you see an Air Force personnel, and you wonder if army guys are from Chad.

I think they do provide them with Boots and Ballistic vests
Some doesn't just wear them..
How will you be deployed with just Your AK dats all!?? Na

bidexiii:
Sudan vs Ethiopia

Pakistan vs India...... �

more like Sudan vs Ethiopia vs Egypt

Xbee007:
Leadership is everything.

this guy is just developing every aspect of Military

Na this matter we dey try settle since morning so.
Me never baff sef

How we wan take do dis mata now

kabe1:
Nigeria is getting 3 JF-17s, we would possibly buy more, but confirmed units is 3.

Alpha Jets might not be retired so soon as some units are currently undergoing avionics upgrade, same thing for the L-39ZA. They are also getting avionics upgrade.

Cockpit of a Nigerian Air Force Alpha Jet.

the platform that's going to be first replaced will be the Alpha jet not too soon but soon
While the AeroL39 albatross is going to remain for some time as a trainer.
As for the F7ni I can't remember what was said about it.
I don't know why NAF took the 10 year strategic plan off the net can't find em anywhere

kabe1:
Unlike Super Tucanos used by other countries in Africa, Nigerian Super Tucanos come with added amour protection for the pilots.




Note the additional side amours by the cockpit.

it's on all Super tucano I'VE seen...
Don't think if it's any sort of add-on armor

bidex111:
For that big money only six will come with FLIR/targeting POD?
Let’s see the type of PODs will get, am praying for something below or better.

well it's the JF17 I'm praying for to have this Mounted POD

SuperSixSeven:
I believe the A-29 will be delivered with 7x FLIR Systems AN/AAQ-22F Brite Star Electro-Optical/Infrared Multi-Sensor Targeting pods (Bright Star II) those can be adjusted under the aircrafts belly. It wont be a pod that is carried under the wings.

[pic a as a reference]

Correct

bidex111:
Has in.... am basking right now!

But am not seeing any FLIR POD, don’t mind me just asking

perhaps they haven't installed it
Or they aren't installing it on This one cos they said Six out of the aircraft will have the FLIR pod

rka2:
Super Tucano - NAF

official camo of NAF
I prefer it...

kabe1:
RHIBs due to be delivered to the Nigerian navy.

10 units from France.

it's time we start production of our own RHIB.
Members of Reps that visited the NDL charged engineers to produce it such as long as Nautical Africa SA can produce
