PICS: An SAAF tradition after 1000 hours flying the Oryx.

The efforts of the Tanzanian and Malawian troops in the FIB are criminally under reported!

It's a medical evacuation exercise in a C-130, organized by US Airforce Africa Command for all the Nations in the West-Africa sub-region. It is also an old photo, i'll say 2010, 6 years ago.

Two police missing after al Shabaab attack base in Kenya'

Two policemen are missing after Somali Islamists attacked a police base in northeastern Kenya early on Thursday, a police spokesman said, the latest in a string of cross-border raids by the al Shabaab militia.

Fighters in two Landcruisers attacked the patrol base "but the officers in the camp managed to repulse them amid (a) fierce exchange of fire," said a statement from police spokesman George Kinoti.

One policeman was wounded and two were missing, he said, adding that one attacker was killed.

Al Shabaab claimed the attack in Kenya's Garissa County.

"We attacked a police station in a small town near Garissa last night," al Shabaab spokesman Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab told Reuters by phone.

notice the question mark (?) sign?

tdayof:

I can count 7 ships docked. I think for an African nation, we have quite a large fleet. Also apart from the donated ships, the oldest ship in our fleet is just 34 years, that's mid-life of the ships. If we can increase serviceability to 85%, that would be fantastic.


It would be nice if we can build proper fighting ships in the Cyclone class (52 meters) to add to our fleet. Armed with surface to air, anti-ship missiles, powerful radar and a 76mm super-rapid gun.

Ships cant be at sea all the time. You only need a few at sea at any one time and some on stand by

I asked due to the amount of ships Nigeria has but henry already clarified that. Remember Nigeria has a busy water and naval assets are not like Airforce that can be deployed withing minutes hence the reason for my question.

Build? Do you think the government is willing to spend up to $5-10 million on R& and production on a Nigerian product?

Drone use in combat in Nigeria's battle-space. The Nigerian military, especially the Air Force use quite a sizeable number of UAVs in combat, mostly in the ISTAR role. However Drone strikes are also common. For the ISTAR role, the Nigerian Air Force use the CH-3A UCAV and Gulma UAV. With the Yahbon Flash 20 due to join NAF fleet. On the ISTAR mission coordinates of BHT is acquired, then relayed in real-time to military fusion center were F-7s or Alpha jets are scrambled to hit BHT positions.



The army not to be left out also use good numbers of small Drones in operation. These UAVs provide the army with on the spot ISR intel, and a larger tactical picture of the AO.

obsolete !! i can assure you no sub sahara africa countries has an efficient and effective capability to penetrate an air defence system which consist of soviet era legancy systems e.g SA-2,SA-3 e.t.c mind you this same soviet era legacy SAM systems are now being upgraded by russia,former easten bloc countries

Please SAAF did it with legacy air craft. These days those systems will be targets not threats

Nigerian Army Drones and Training


Credits: Sidajili

The Nigerian Army uses its drones in close collaboration with fielded forces, to identify and target critical enemy assets, including command centers, logistical centers and concentrations of BHT and vehicles.


With the information supplied by drones, Nigerian artillery and firepower becomes ever more lethal.

haha yea I know. I'm just trying to let him know our government won't do that.

with what ! alpha jets,F-5's,F-7,mig-21 e.t.c if you claimed you had again air superiority over angolan airspace why were you not able to bomb luanda or deny the angloans and cubans from launching their air crafts against south african forces.like america did in gulf war 1 !!!??

we did not not have air superiority that was not what you asked though you said no air force to penetrate and that we did do.

As for why we did not bomb Luanda, range. All so poltics prevent many attacks. Politics saved many a Russian war ship to

Andrew, I have learned by now that africaken assumes all African countries can't do something, simply because Kenya can not.
Watch him change the subject when he realises the SAAF penetrated these systems in Angola.

andrewza:

SAAF had a complege SA-8 SAM system. Which was utilized for training purposes in the 90s and early 20s.

Yes, yes but far more interesting:
1) At what rank does one start carrying a walking stick?
2) Do they come in different designs to delineate rank?
3) What's the annual budget for them?

Nice work from Sunday idajili.
