onumaegbuikenna:


Do the federal guards fight or are they just used in ceremonies?

Henry240:


You mean what the Major is doing?

IbnSultaan:
NGR Govt will transfer certain PAF assets to NAF
We shall wait n see

Patchesagain:


All that rust

I know that as long as the internals are clean it's not a problem.

But as a gun enthusiast, that picture gave me cancer

jln115:

Major, sergeant, colonel ect ect doesn't matter...its just i've never seen anything like it!!

What's he looking for?

M14A1:

It is definitely rusty on the inside as well.

Henry240:


He is staring down the barrel,checking the rifling,
Ensuring the chamber is free.

That hold position ensures that the trigger finger is on the butt of the rifle. So nothing risky.


Actually, you have seen it before. You saw it last year, and the year before, in the October 1st photos/videos we shared.

Thanks!!! It's just it goes against everything I've ever learned about gun safety.....although extremely rare guns do go of due to mechanical failure, as i young boy the first thing i was taught was to never point a rifle at anyone or look down the barrel....and even today, the only time i ever look down my rifle's barrel is when im cleaning it and have removed the bolt!!

But obviously these guns are not loaded, so thus no chance of any accidental discharge, it just looks so awkward imo, but hey that's your military's tradition and i can respect that!! all in all i enjoyed the drill, definitely something different to what ive seen...but in a good way!

and no ive not seen the previous Oktober 1st videos!

tdayof:


I don't understand. Nigeria govt transferring PAF asset to NAF? OR Pakistani govt transferring PAF asset to NAF?
if we're paying then we're buying. The transfer seems like we're being offered a gift.

Africaken254 or is it Africaken524....... Kenyan!!! This is for you.



[b]NAF SIGNS MoU WITH PORTUGAL ON LOCAL PRODUCTION
OF UAV


The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) today signed a Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) with the UAVision of Portugal. The
MoU is aimed at enhancing existing collaboration between
NAF and UAVision of Portugal for local production of
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in Nigeria. It is pertinent
to note that the discussion that led to the signing of today’s
agreement actually began few months ago. Already, the
collaboration had led to production of 4 UAVs prototypes
with 2 each produced in Nigeria and Portugal.



Meanwhile, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Mshl Sadique
Abubakar has expressed the optimism that the locally
produced UAVs would be commissioned before the end of
October 2016. The CAS, further in his speech, identified
other areas of possible collaboration with Portugal to
include tactical flying training for NAF pilot and aircraft
maintenance, stating that the essence of the collaboration is
to exploit every areas of Portuguese technological
development with a view to taking the NAF to the next level.
Prominent among the Portuguese delegation are Portuguese
Ambassador to Nigeria, His Excellency Antonio Pedro
Rodrigues da Silva and the representative of UAVision, Engr
Nuno Simeon.[/b]

Henry240:


Angolan SF use the X-95?

Henry240:


I respect that comment. That's why i always say you're smarter than Mr "P"


It's a Nigerian military tradition and we've been doing it for more than 50 years.


If you think this drill was enjoyable, then, you need to see what the Nigerian army did when we had a massive parade in 2010. The guys holding the Nigerian national flag and flag of the Nigerian army were at least 100. They were doing a military march with sorrowful theme/song/band, intended to honour the Nigerian army dead. It was exquisite... Beautiful "rythmn".


Although the army always does this "sorrowful drill", like in this October 1st video, they only use 2 guys.


They allow you guys own guns in RSA?

gottfried21:

Yes But they also use the AK-103

jakeporeshenko:


Nice find henry !
so on todays episode of i told you so, we have learned that the chief of air staff is not some petty liar that makes up things in his head.
this is the way forward. from this we can then scale up.

Henry240:


Typical Africaken...... when he wants to act weird, he takes it to the extreme. His comments on that day were most unfortunate.

The 4 additional UAVs which are new means, the NAF has so far built 13 UAS. A proper MALE should be next.

jakeporeshenko:

ohh well, i can't wait to see pictures of these new drones.. i trust you'll post once you come across them.
