CAPACITY BUILDING: NAF TAKES DELIVERY OF FINAL BATCH OF SUPER MUSHSHAK AIRCRAFT

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) today, 14 January 2018, took delivery of the second batch of Super Mushshak trainer aircraft that the Federal Government had since ordered from Pakistan. The Ilyushin 76 Strategic Airlifter aircraft that brought the new Super Mushshak aircraft touched down at NAF Base Kaduna at exactly 7.45 am today. The Chief of Logistics at NAF Headquarters, Air Vice Marshal Bello Garba, received the new aircraft on behalf of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar. A combined team of NAF and Pakistan Air Force (PAF) personnel were also on hand to assist in offloading the new aircraft, some parts of which came in crates. In addition, officials of the National Customs Service and the National Immigration Service were present to ensure necessary documentation. The newly delivered aircraft, which are capable of being used for acrobatics training, are all brand new and fitted with digital glass cockpit.

The newly received aircraft, five in number, form the final batch of a total of 10 Super Mushshak aircraft, the procurement of which the current Federal Government Administration initiated in Year 2016. As at 2015, local primary flying training in the NAF was almost grounded thereby necessitating the procurement of the Super Mushshak Aircraft. Consequently, with the delivery of the new Super Mushshak aircraft, primary flying training of NAF pilots at 401 Flying Training School (FTS), Kaduna has just received a boost. Without doubts, the delivery of the aircraft would go a long way in helping to sustain the process of building capacity to effectively prosecute the counterinsurgency operations in the North East as well as other forms of criminalities in the country.

It would be recalled that the NAF took delivery of the first batch of 5 brand new Super Mushshak Aircraft on 14 July 2017, following which the aircraft were inducted and deployed for primary training of NAF pilots. Furthermore, some NAF personnel had undergone training in Pakistan, as Instructor Pilots and technicians on the Super Mushshak aircraft, as part of the contract. The delivery went without any hitches and the Ilyushin 76 Aircraft has departed from Nigeria. The newly received aircraft will now be assembled in Nigeria by a team of PAF and NAF technicians prior to test flying and formal induction into the NAF.

Habane, is it the spambot?

You are so so sick; that you go backing all around like a dog affected with rabies.

Try ignoring him, trolls are like spoilt little brat, they thrive when you give them attention.

If the jf17 is not what we can get off the shelf that easily, I don't know which jet we are going to acquire.

Look at what happened to the mi17 recently, it definitely ageing since these aircraft are not brown-new.

What can we acquire then, it's over two years now we've been struggling to buy ordinary jf17 jets.

The future looks promising and favourable for NAF. JF-17 is surely coming we just don't know when.

kabe1:
Dude, you have always shown you can neither understand English, speak it or write it.

Basic sentences are so difficult for you to understand, that's rather shameful.


It is This not 'These', dummy!

Is he dragging girlfriend or something with you? I don't get your unnecessary hostility.

bidexiii:
Seriously I don't get what he meant by these part; "aircraft are never picked off the shelf".

He meant that they are not something you just walk into countries that sells them, pick the ones you want, pay for them and go home with them. You too u sabi all the nitty-gritty of ordering for such equipment.

Just saw this on Twitter. A conversation between a civilian and AVM OA Adesanya on JF17 Thunder.

The aircraft bringing the final batch of Super Mushshak trainer aircraft ordered from Pakistan by the Federal Government just touches down at Nigerian Air Force Base Kaduna. Details later...@AsoRock @NigAirForce @CAS_AMSadique

Who religion help?

olaolutreasure:
I wasn't born into christian too, I had encounter with God while in sec schl. I was inquisitive too, but discovered 'a voice' often gave me answers from within me, anytime I ask questions about my new fond faith.
As I keep growing up, it developed to free flow communication: He speaks, I speak. Sometimes He tells me things in Yoruba Language. But I understand English than Yoruba

Sorry one last question. Are you Catholic or Protestant?

olaolutreasure:
He speaks every languages, but addressed me in English

Okay, thank you.

olaolutreasure:
He speaks every languages

But you don't speak every language. That is why I was asking you the language he addressed you with when you encountered him. Was it in your local language, English or pidgin?

Mind you I am not trying to ridicule your belief in God. It is the inalienable right of every human to choose either to belief or not to. All my relations are believers, they have faith. I just choose to be the white sheep of the family. I have always been inquisitive since I was a young.

olaolutreasure:
If you truly want to know, I will you. There are two ways He manifests: He either come as a Majesty (burning eyes, white hair and beard, white apparel and gold sash, legr like a glowing metal) The Bible confirms that in Revelation.
And based on the appearance as that of a man, how do I believe you are not seeking something to scoff with?
And that doesn't even matter, He has masculine structure

Wow, I am impressed.
ROTFLMAO

olaolutreasure:
I will not play smart, I'll unravel the matter as it.
How do I tell you that I've seen Jesus and you won't try to say it's a lie? Okay, the last time He visited me in a night vision was 22/23th Dec, 2017. This matter is about encounter and experience, I have seen to the realm beyond here, I have seen beings not humans, how do you expect my faith not to be rigid?
How do I explain to you how 'a voice' would tell me a thing and it will happen exactly? Or how He would explain difficult academic courses to me and I would understand? Or how He would tell me how to prepare for exams or how I ended being one of the best graduating students without any human efforts? How He shows me what I am not doing right and that I should change? How I can easily give up habits a man really need serious self discipline to overcome? How people look at me and say 'you must be a christian?' without knowing me?
They are encounters, that's it

Please, how does God look like? Is he black or white. Pointed nose or flat nose. Does he/she even look human at all?
Also, in which language did he used in speaking with you?
I sincerely want to know.

PHOTO; CRASHED NAF MI17 HELICOPTER IN THE NORTH- EAST OPERATIONS


http://naijacrib.com/photo-crashed-naf-mi17-helicopter-in-the-north-east-operations/

I must admit, that is one of the best crash landing I have ever seen. Most helicopters end up upside-down, with mangled rotor blades after crashing. I am impressed! What do Boko Haram terrorists have to say about this. I don't usually watch their propaganda videos but I am looking forward to seeing this one.

Sandyyy:
No, they did not... I felt real bad when I got the info, called the department and was told to be hopeful, there might be another test.

After all stress and money That was a terrible mistake on their part and they should take full responsibility for it. Please, keep calling them till they accept to do another test for you. Their is nothing spectacular about the test, it is something they can just give you in any class or office available.

olaolutreasure:
Faith. Faith is not a blind belief, faith is believe it and you see.

Going by your premise one can safely conclude that you have seen Jesus before. Since you said "faith is believe and you see" then your faith (believe and you see) in Jesus means you should have seen Jesus by now. I am sure you haven't or have you? Smart theist don't make that statement. They just refer to Faith in a very subtle way, believing in the realm beyond human comprehension.
So no matter how you want to twist it or place it, faith is and will always be a blind belief. It is, and will always be a belief without evidence. But my question is, has faith (blindly believing) helped anyone ever before (aside from the scientific experience known as the placebo effect)?
Also, has faith ever really solved any mystery or problem before?
In case you don't know, faith, blindly believing, has brought tremendous destruction to human race and it is one of the sole cause of human problems.
Do you know that for over 1500 years, men with faith (the majority) stopped scientists from dissecting human cadavers for scientific purposes. They called it "The Temple of the Holy Spirit" that should never be desecrated.
Have you heard about the ancient witch burning system often practised by Christians religious leaders in the past? For more than 1500 years women and children tagged witches were burned alive because some FAITHFUL people say they are witches.
Faith, blindly believing, is what Nigerian pastorpreneurs use to hoodwink sheeples out of their hard earned monies. Faith, blindly believing, is what Boko Haram use to brainwash it followers into carrying out their nefarious activities.
Faith, blindly believing, therefore doesn't belong in this time and age. It belongs in the stone age. If a cave man, hundreds of thousands of years ago, says he has faith, we wouldn't judge him. But, why would a sane person in this 21st century that has seen the dangers of Faith, blindly believing, still choose it over science, believing base on proof and evidence?

olaolutreasure:
Science, in a lay language, is a body of knowledge built on methodological study of the environment. But error came when it uses the laws of earth and space to judge what brought the laws and lives into existence

What error are you talking about?
Please if you don't use the law of earth and space to judge what brought life into existence, what else should science use? Are you trully reading and comprehending what you're typing?

ScienceWatch:
Your scientific god has explained why you block higher truths that dont fit into Atheisms stated world agenda.

How do atheists/deists/agnostics,etc use defence mechanisms to deny God or a personal God? Richard Dawkins, PZ Myers, Sam Harris and others. They are angry and resentful people and shift the blame to other for the problems in their own lives. Now filled with hatred, they invent ideas that trap themselves and others. What follows are what psychologists and psychiatrist believe to be the major ways.
DENIAL: This mechanism is very simple: the atheist/deist simply denies reality and does so with intensity and persistence. There are people who are told by doctors daily that they have a terminal illness. They hear and see many people have been miraculously healed. Their way of coping is to deny that it could be true. Atheists/deist do the same: they intensely and persistently deny that God could exist. They block out the possibility and fight it with all their might.

RATIONALIZATIONS: This is a favourite mechanism of atheists/deist. It is simply the reliance on logical-sounding but false reasons to negate reality. Atheists/deist will offer countless “logical-sounding” reasons why God does not exist, or why atheists/deist cannot accept the existence of God or religion or that miraculous healings are as simple as breathing. They are very creative at doing so, and they specialize in using pedantic language to sound convincing to others and to themselves. They fool themselves that they are of superior intelligence and that they must be correct in their conclusions. In reality, they are simply foolish rationalizers.
How do atheists use defence mechanisms to deny God
REPRESSION: This mechanism entails forcing painful experiences into the sub-conscious unconsciously. The atheist/deist/agnostic who uses this mechanism is not aware of it. All of existence shouts out miraculous, "design." Every little detail in nature offers evidence of the Artist’s miraculous touch. One only has to stop, observe and see that we are not surrounded by the grotesque, but by beauty, unity and miraculous harmony. The atheist mind will not stop and observe and see the connection. If they do stop to look, they will acknowledge the miraculous art -- but not the artist.

SUPPRESSION: Suppression is similar to repression, but with one exception: it is conscious. Science is continually offering evidence of miraculous intricacy and brilliance on the Creator’s part. The concept of miraculous design is daily being reinforced by all the sciences. Accepting the evidence of miraculous design for former atheist, Anthony Flew, may have been painful at first, but he finally accepted the glaring reality. Most atheists/deist will not. They will consciously “reject” the evidence, without any fair and sufficient analysis. And finally exclude God or reject the power of miracles in religion.

DISPLACEMENT: This mechanism has to do with transferring feelings from one deserving object to another undeserving one. As explained above, many Atheists/deists are angry and hurt, because of abuse or mistreatment by authority figures, parents, religious people or religious leaders. In time, they transfer their anger to God who allowed the events that caused their pain to take place. The end result of this mechanism is to abolish/destroy what they see as the ultimate source of their pain: God.

You focus too much on the messenger rather than the message and the end result is a one sided argument full of insults on the person of atheists. Atheists don't claim to know it all. They just choose not to pretend to know what they have no clue about, theists claim they have answers to it all. Like they present you the bullsh*t of Adam & Eve and expect sane people to accept it. Kolewerk! Yoruba has a story of human creation that sounds more plausible than Adam & Eve story yet it is still what it is, a fairy tale.
Plus most atheists are ready to become theists IF there is sufficient evidence to prove the existence of a Supreme Being. Till now no shred of evidence to support the existence of a Sky Daddy has been provided.
In essence, learn to argue smartly. Always focus on the message not the messenger otherwise you would come off as a fool incapable of reasoning that resorts to copying and pasting other dumb people's statement.

Most criminals are actually very smart. How do you think they have been cheating the system all this while?

How ironic. Your username says "Sapiosexual" yet, to say you reason with your butthole is an understatement. How can someone, in this 21st century, say IVF is sinful?

He was probably tortured to death.

Show me a single submarine operator without incidents caused by human error.

Trust me, we all know was* isn't a simple, straightforward, 1+1 affair, especially one that you don't need to beg for recruits. That is why wise men see war as a last resort.

Sandyyy:
That was how I was here waiting for info from my dept not knowing they already invited applicants for test.If you know anyone in Ibadan, call them to check your department and get up-to-date information.

They didn't mail you? They are supposed to mail everyone.

Jalive:
No Pastor will ever say you should not take precaution. Even the bible says "watch and pray" not watch alone.

Logically, we should watch (take necessary precautions) more than we pray. However, when we pray more than we watch then we are inviting avoidable disaster.

Remember the Titanic was declared the safest ship in the world, yet sank.

The people that dubbed the Titanic "the safest ship in the world" were ignorant to the simple fact that no piece of equipment is totally failsafe. Every machinery is fallible, especially those with design flaws. They were also stupid enough not to provide emergency means of escape in the event of accidents.
Most Nigerians don't even know the standard PSI of their vehicle tires. We put our lives in the hands of road side vulcanizers with very ancient equipment. Speed limit is alien to our society. I once boarded a vehicle from my town to Abuja, just few minutes to our destination FRSC stopped us and requested for the driver's Driver's License. The idiot didn't have one! The person entrusted with the lives of a dozen passengers has never held a Driver's License in his life not even an expired one. If accident had happened and we were lucky to tell the tale we would have blamed the devil and innocent villagers.

Safety is of the Lord.

Perhaps it is, perhaps it is not. China has the largest road users in the world. More vehicles far more than Nigerians could possibly imagine. Yet, it has one of the lowest rate of vehicular accidents in the world. Isn't that surprising?
And guess what. They don't even believe in the Lords we worship!

Nice video. I love the deployment of the AML.


About the soft skin vehicles, I made a suggestion of Innoson making something like the Humvees. It will make some sense.

The vehicles they recently sold to NA bears some semblance with US army's Humvees, just some slight changes and up-armouring will make it look like the real deal.
It will be very disappointing if those vehicles are eventually deployed to the battlefield without any form of armouring.

She surely knows her onions.
My heart ache anytime I see our men in those soft-skinned vehicles.
