Can someone please educate me on the role of the Nigerian Air Force if the Nigerian Army now buys assault helicopters |

What difference will this make?..... did the various weapons and equipment they acquired in the past.ame any difference? Seems like the more they acquire the worst the security gets |

REALretep:Navy own Helicopters for easy transport of personals to ship and it hasn't affected the Air force. The communication process between Army and air force takes time. with the army assault helicopter unit, air support can be provided easier and on time. |

Simeonjoe1: Insightful ideas though. |

Bluntemperor: You know our security personnel have this hidden, sometimes open competition amongst themselves, certainly, part of the reasons they've finding it hard to reduce the insecurity to it's barest minimal. The Army wants Nigerians to see as number1 when comes to security. They have this sense of superiority over Air force and Navy. See the Army, there just everywhere and want everything. They do police work, even tell civilians that they are indisciplined and want to teach them our to live in society. Now this, they are gradually trying to take the main job of the Nigerian Air force!!! |

Dogalmighty17: It's a shame my brother..... The corruption is very big..... Budget allocation were made for the Blackhawks at a time..... But counter argument from certain section of the military canceled it..... Trust me when I say capable hands were frustrated out of the armed forces..... The special forces were significantly affected in shadow power tussle..... Some times I shed tears cuz most of our potential serving was thrown down the drain |

JuanDeDios: The Tucano has actually served well. I can attest to this statement cuz I was in the Air Force Special Operations Command and I saw what the Tucano did, I was amazed |

I am of the opinion that this is a duplication of role and functions. Why not the army and air force liaise instead of the army having an air brigade. |

We will still bring am down! |

tutudesz: So what will the AF now be doing?? |
Re: Nigerian Army Air Brigade Takes Form With Assault Helicopters by GloriousGbola: 9:43am On Jun 21 |
Offpointng: The a10 warthog if I recall is used primarily by the US army for air support. It is one of the best fighters for direct support of infantry You will observe that the Nigeria army seems to be taking the US approach where every military branch has their own planes and pilots who would be under their direct command. The us navy has the fa14 tomcat designed for aircraft carriers The us marines have the harrier jet (vertical take off from vessels) The army had the huey and warthogs. |

tutudesz: I'm not against getting helicopters or airplanes but times are changing. This helicopter will soon be completely phased out of operations because it doesn't meet the standard requirements of modern warfare. It's very good that you chose to expose your uncut foo..lish..ness. It's very sad and obvious that your smart phone is smarter than it's user by a very long stretch. I won't reply or engage you no more

The Bell UH-1 'Huey' helicopter entered service in the US Army 1959 and was retired in 2015. It has not seen real combat with the US army since the late 1980's. That is what they are selling to you. Indeed there was a country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_UH-1_Iroquois |

AceRoyal:Stop exposing your foolishness to the world You comparing US military plans to that of Nigeria This helicopter are for used within Nigeria and are equipped with up to date tech. |
Re: Nigerian Army Air Brigade Takes Form With Assault Helicopters by tutudesz: 11:24am On Jun 21 |
AceRoyal:All helicopters can be shut down by anything, regardless of how advance it is. |
Re: Nigerian Army Air Brigade Takes Form With Assault Helicopters by REALretep(m): 12:00pm On Jun 21 |
tutudesz:That of navy is somewhat understandable cos they protect the water by patrolling and flying over it but these army assault helicopters are more like duplication of functions cos that should be the primary role of air force. My thoughts anyway... those in the armed forces know best... |

bouncin04:yea true life humiliation for US 1 Like |
Re: Nigerian Army Air Brigade Takes Form With Assault Helicopters by REALretep(m): 1:22pm On Jun 21 |
tutudesz:This is still clearly a duplication of functions. None of these answers my questions of the role of the Nigerian Navy in the Nigerian Armed Forces |
Re: Nigerian Army Air Brigade Takes Form With Assault Helicopters by VonSmallhausen: 4:15pm On Jun 21 |
REALretep: The main issue is the difference in command structure between the two services i.e. Army and Airforce. During an operation, when a ground force needs close air support, or medical evacuation etc. they have to radio their army command, which radios the airforce command, which radios the particular squadron for the operation before they can respond. All of this makes the cooperation so cumbersome, and wounded men on the battlefield could die etc. Even when the airforce pilots are attached directly to an army task force for an operation, the army commander cannot actually give them direct orders the way they could give if the pilots were army men. There have even been instances where an airforce helicopter pilot could refuse to make a landing because of e.g. weather concerns. whereas the officers on board are ordering the pilot to land. So many a time, it is best for the army to use their own helicopters or even light attack aircraft to support their operations, and leave the Air force to focus on air superiority i.e. fighting enemy aircraft, as well as long range strike missions and other more strategic operations. i hope this helped. 1 Like |
