Defence Headquarters Nigeria NIGERIAN CONTINGENT TO AFRICAN UNION STANDBY FORCE RETURNS The Nigerian Contingent of the African Union Standby Force (ASF) consisting of 41 officers and soldiers arrived the country on Tuesday after a 2week intensive training Receiving the contingent on behalf of the Chief of Defence Staff, Commodore Uche Onyia explained that the ASF is a unifying and standing force that has the mandate to respond to insecurity and emergency situations in African continent. He emphasised that the establishment of the ASF would not collapse other existing intervention forces in different countries but rather intervene in cases of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and also monitor peacekeeping missions in the continent. Explaining the pivotal role the Nigerian military has played at fostering peace in the past, he described the training as a huge step towards achieving peace and security in Africa. He reaffirmed the country's commitment to peace and making the continent conducive for all. He used the opportunity to convey the CDS' appreciation to the Nigerian Air Force for airlifting the contingent to and fro South Africa and equally commended members of the contingent for their exemplary conduct. "The reports reaching the CDS while you were in South Africa was that you gave a good account of yourselves and made the country proud", he said. In his remark, the leader of the contingent, Col Joseph Amadasun pointed out that the 2week field exercise was an intensive field training exercise which had to do with "operationalisation" of the standby force. The group consisted of 5,000 troops from Angola, Kenya, and Zimbabwe. He intimated that the establishment of the ASF was an effort by the AU to bring the member states together to work out modalities to tackle insecurity in the region. It also evaluated the force's operational readiness to respond to crises and monitor peace keeping missions. The ASF is an initiative of the AU established to reduce reliance of African countries on external assistance for conflict resolution. The Constitutive Act of the ASF gives the Union the right to intervene in a member country uninvited in cases of grave circumstances, genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Other objectives of the ASF were to enable the AU observe and monitor missions, other types of peace support operations and provide proactive deployment to prevent dispute or conflict from escalating. It would also forestall violence from spreading to neighbouring states as well as curb the resurgence of violence. The task before the ASF, among others will include post conflict disarmament and demobilization, as well as provide humanitarian assistance to alleviate the suffering of the civilian populace in conflict areas and during natural disasters. 1 Like |

NAF PROVIDES MEDICARE FOR IDPs As part of the Nigerian Air Force humanitarian effort at caring for the less privileged and to provide adequate medical care for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the North East, the Nigerian Air Force Hospital which was established in Dalori IDPs camp in Maiduguri has commenced operation. The Hospital would not only cater for the healthcare needs of the IDPs, but also alleviate the sufferings of victims of terrorism in North Eastern Nigeria. The 50 bed hospital by United Nations (UN) standard has an Operating Theatre, a Radio Diagnostic Unit, Dental unit, Laboratory, Accident and Emergency Units, Out-Patient and In-Patient facilities for at least 36 patients and a paediatric section. The full fledged NAF Hospital in Dalori IDPs camp is also equipped with facilities for in-patient catering, information and records, central sterile supply unit, maternity section and a pharmaceutical section. It would be recalled that the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Baba Abubakar’s during his maiden visit to Dalori IDPs camp on assumption of duty, promised to establish a standard Hospital to cater for the health care of IDPs and victims of terrorism in the North East. |

Henry240:it kinda looks lik the hk417 battle rifle ,an enlarged hk416 which uses a 7.62x 51mm ccatridgefrm the old G3 mostly deplyed a designated marksman role if this rifle is indeed a 417 then I think nigeria will be the first nation on the continent to make use of that rifle 1 Like |

What gun is this?

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 12:34pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
Stephandeswardt:That's an Anti-material Sniper Rifle. 50 Caliber and above. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 12:39pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
Patchesagain: Very unlikely. The Nigerian military doesn't use American made weapons. I think it's an HK-417. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 12:42pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
realnas: I agree with you. I also think it's an HK-417. You're also right on the use of the G3 in the DMR role, so it makes perfect sense to replace the G3 with the 417 in that role. |

Nigerian designed Rockets. A couple weeks back at the NAF's R & D show, we saw photos NAF's domestically built rockets for what seemed like the first time. Anyway, new evidence suggests that the rockets had been presented publicly before, first time at the Nigerian Air Force Air Expo in 2012 ( because of the insurgency in the N.E, the 2014 show was cancelled). - Image one shows the Rocket at Air-Show in 2012 - Image two, more recent, NAF's R&D workshop in 2015

Stephandeswardt:It's a JNG-90 sniper riffle |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 3:29pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
Stephandeswardt: Accuracy International AW-50 is my best bet. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 3:31pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
NighttWalker: JNG-90 is a normal sniper rifle. The sniper rifle the soldier is carrying is far more different. |

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by bidexiii: 4:05pm On Nov 11, 2015 |

bidexiii:I'm not convinced. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Stephandeswardt: 5:11pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
Henry240: I don't think it is jng 90......the barrel is like that of the .50cal arctic warfare .......but the flash hider isn't the same. |

Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by nighthawk87: 5:49pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
Henry240: It is not a HK417, it is a M110 SASS. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Nobody: 6:05pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
nighthawk87: If you are Nigerian, you would know that our procurement history over the years rules out the M110. |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by bidexiii: 6:15pm On Nov 11, 2015 |
nighthawk87: The boots are quite different ; I think the riffle is an H & K 417 prototype/variants? http://world.guns.ru/assault/de/hk-417-e.html |
