tdayof:you should have asked ,does nigeria use helicopters to carry out air assault ,i believe most of your defence forces consider choppers to be treasured assets .to expose them to such threat(behind enemy line),they would rather use them in liaison and utility 1 Like |

jteku: The weight of the helicopter would tear both NNS Centenary and Unity into two. A Puma helicopter would even be heavy for both the Centenary and Unity. AW-109s and Dauphin helicopters are the class the Unity can carry. 1 Like |

tdayof: Off-course we do. There was a documentary released in 2014 or so by the Army. The documentary containing NAFs first Drone strike, in that video, we could see NAF MI-17s dropping troops off in battle. 2 Likes |

africaken254: In all militaries, helicopters are considered as treasured assets. However helicopters are routinely used in clandestine roles. |

Henry240:air mobility is a useful tactic when employed where mobility is hindered by terrain ,also where the need for surprise is essential to gain a upper hand against an enemy . |

Henry240:clandestine meaning one or two choppers sneaking special ops team members behind enemy line,is it what you mean.what i am talking about is a battalion size being heliborne by choppers and with air support from jets,helicopter gunships and ISR platforms to conduct an assault on enemy position

The executive helicopters are designed for VIP transportation and are equipped with ballistic defence capabilities and defensive aid suites. The CAS, in his acceptance speech, stated that the NAF has contacted the manufacturer of the helicopter and plans have been put in place to reconfigure one of the helicopters as air ambulance, and the other as a troop carrier. 2 Likes

Fidha254: During the time of cross-border insurgency in South Africa, both the Mozambican and Zimbabwean border were made very high on the South African side and then electrified (for hundreds of kilometers). At some point Eland 90s and Ratels would be seen patrolling on the Mozambican/SA border as a security statement to scare off any potential danger either posed by insurgents or their state allies. |

africaken254: Most African countries (with an exception of a few) don't have enough helicopters to drop a battalion-size infantry into action. Those who do, have not demonstrated that capacity in recent years. The only times this happened on African soil was when the SADF 32 Battalion would be dropped into battles in Angola and would be quickly extracted back to Namibia within hours. ... As for now, it's just tactical insertions. 1 Like |
