CAS UNDERTAKES OPERATIONAL VISIT TO KATSINA, ASSESSES PROGRESS OF ONGOING AIR OPERATIONS IN NORTH WEST ZONE The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has expressed satisfaction with the progress of ongoing air operations in the North West Zone of the Country and pledged the commitment of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) to sustain the intensity of operations in order to rid the Zone of armed bandits and other criminal elements. The CAS made this known today, 8 October 2020, while on an operational visit to the Headquarters of the Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI in Katsina to asses the progress of operations. The visit also afforded the CAS the opportunity to ascertain, first hand, the status of personnel, aircraft and logistics support facilities that had been deployed to ensure the effective conduct of operations. The CAS, who was accompanied on the visit by senior officers from Headquarters NAF, was received in Katsina by the Air Officer Commanding Special Operations Command (AOC SOC), Air Vice Marshal Charles Ohwo, and subsequently received a closed door briefing from the Air Component Commander, Wing Commander Ahmed Hamidu. Speaking to the Press after the briefing, the CAS reiterated the NAF’s commitment to flush out armed bandits and other criminals from their forest hideouts in Katsina and Zamfara States as well as in Kaduna, Niger and Sokoto States. “I am very happy with what the Air Component has been doing, especially here in Katsina as well as in Zamfara State. We have made significant progress. We have also been able to substantially deal with the problem in Sokoto State”, he added. He stated that these efforts would be intensified as more attack helicopters and fighter jets would be deployed in order to bring to an end the menace of armed banditry in the affected areas. “I assure you that very soon most of these problems will be over”, he said. [b]Speaking further, Air Marshal Abubakar expressed his appreciation to the Federal Government for its support towards the NAF’s fleet renewal efforts, which, he disclosed, included the acquisition of 8 Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs) which would soon arrive the Country. He added that about 70 personnel, who are to operate and maintain the UCAVs, had already been nominated for training in China. He further disclosed that some of the UCAVs would be deployed in Katsina and Gusau, while others would be deployed to Gombe, at the newly established 203 Combat Reconnaissance Group (203 CRG) Gombe. He further stated that he would be in Gusau the following week to discuss with the Zamfara State Government on arrangements for the deployment of UCAVs to Gusau. “These UCAVs will bring substantial value to what we are doing. The whole idea is to send the right message to Nigerians that the Federal Government is doing everything humanly possible to ensure that our communities are safe”, the CAS added.[/b] IBIKUNLE DARAMOLA Air Commodore Director of Public Relations & Information Nigerian Air Force 8 October 2020 2 Likes

The PD-1 UAS NAF is Acquiring also will be for what? To train drone pilot if yes ok.. But tsaigumi UAV will be the best option if they are going to use it strictly for ISR. Also NN to receive 3 AW109 is this aside the one for deep blue or..? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by kabe1: 9:52pm On Oct 08, 2020 |
Procurement for the Nigerian navy. We are getting another Hydrographic vessel, a smaller 32 meters vessel. We would also get 3 additional A-109 helicopters for the navy. Also some Aresa boats.

Odunayaw: The document doesn't actually say aselpod, but since we know the aselpod has been integrated on the JF-17, then it might as well be. |

kabe1:I certainly know its not the WMD-7 pod. So yeah, it can only be this one. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by kabe1: 10:02pm On Oct 08, 2020 |
We having been paying for 3 x JF-17s for a long time now. 3 x JF-17 also budgeted for in the 2021 budget, yet all 3 JF-17s should be delivered to Nigeria this November. I think this means that Nigeria is getting more than 3 units of JF-17 from Pakistan. 2 Likes

Looking at the defence budget, you'll be confused, but it seems procurement listed on Nigeria's defence budget is usually different from actual procurement. For example the VT-4 Tank, SH-5 artillery, ST-1, CH-4 UCAVs, ARA MRAP, Ezugwu MRAP, K-152 and MI-17s are not listed in the Defence budget. SDB3 is also not listed in the Defence budget, but Nigeria is getting them. The budget, especially on the project side might seem empty, but it more like a mirage than anything else.

kabe1:the SDB 3 was in last year budget. Also The ARA or Ezugwu MRAP might be listed as the "A" or "B" vehicles |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Jimi24: 10:17pm On Oct 08, 2020 |
kabe1: Those weapons you listed here have been bought, paid for and being delivered. They were bought outside the defence budgets. The capital items in the 2021 budget are separate from them and will come differently. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by kabe1: 10:26pm On Oct 08, 2020 |
Jimi24: I don't understand this part correctly. Are you saying the capital items are not listed in this 2021 budget and are in a separate 2021 budget? The items I listed above were not mentioned in the 2020 budget, nor in the 2019 budget. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by kabe1: 10:26pm On Oct 08, 2020 |
Toju200: I did not see SDB 3 in 2020 budget though. |
