NIGERIAN AIR FORCE INTENSIFIES AIR STRIKE IN SUPPORT OF OPERATION RESCUE FINALE

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has intensified air operations in support of OPERATION RESCUE FINALE with a view to creating the enabling environment for own ground troops to undertake final onslaught against the remnants of Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) in the Sambisa Forest. The latest air operations involve air interdiction and armed reconnaissance by NAF fighter jets and helicopter gunships against BHT camps and major hideouts to decimate the capability of the insurgents as well as make it difficult for them to assemble or pose any serious threat to own troops during advance.

So far, a number of BHT vehicles, fuel depots and other logistics items have been destroyed. The NAF also provides air cover for troops during advance to prevent ambush while leaflets are dropped from helicopters in furtherance of the psychological operation to persuade those willing to lay down their arms and embrace peace, as well as those trapped in the affected areas, to avail themselves the opportunity to reunite with their families and live peaceful life again.

In a similar development, the NAF has carried out attacks on a number of camps and hideouts used by cattle rustlers and armed bandits in Gidan Garba and Burwaye areas of Zamfara State. The camps were strafed by Alpha Jets and Mi-24 attack helicopter following intelligence report from NAF ISR platforms. The L-39ZA aircraft, which were recently reconfigured to carry arms, also participated in the operation. The air strike is intended to pave way for ground forces to move into the affected areas with a view to dislodging the bandits. Other hideouts used by the armed bandits in the State are under continuous surveillance for possible air strike.

Proforce leopard LAV for Nigerian Police

We don't yet deploy Special Forces Vehicles in Nigeria, however, whenever the need comes, the Proforce leopard which by the way is a Special Forces vehicle but marketed as a law enforcement vehicle would be our best bet when all parameters are considered.


It is built on a Land cruiser chassis, and provides all round protection for the occupants who would use them. With just a little modification, we could have a vehicle similar to the Sherpa by Renault in pictures 1 and 2.


Another simple modification would be vehicle in picture 3 from Qatar or in service with the Qatari special forces. Simple design and fulfils the requirements.

More photos of the Proforce leopard.


The most appropriate recon vehicle for Nigerian commandos, with the right mix of mobility, protection, firepower and air transportable.

1 x 12.7mm HMG

2 x 7.62mm machine gun, one rear and one in front.


beautiful vehicle.

A local solution for an international problem.

NAF R & D COMPETITION/EXHIBITION 2016
The Nigerian Air Force Research and Development Competition/Exhibition (NAF R&) 2016 was rounded-up yesterday in Kaduna. The theme “Developing Civil-Military Research Programmes Towards Enhanced National Development” was adopted for the event to achieve two broad objectives. The first is to attract external collaboration by showcasing NAF R & D feats to the public. The second is to promote NAF R & D objectives through competition among individual personnel and NAF establishments. Participants at the two-day event include academic and research institutions having subsisting memorandum of understanding with the NAF. Two resource persons from the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex were also in attendance to present papers. The papers titled “The Role of Public and Private Sectors in Research and Development and its Impact on Defence Production: The Pakistan Experience” and “Strategies for Strengthening Civil Military Collaboration for Capacity Building in Research and Development in Nigeria” provided feasible model for emulation by the NAF in its drive to promote self-reliance through acquisition of indigenous technological capacity.

At the end of the competition, three of the projects displayed at the exhibition were adjudged as most innovative by a team of independent assessors. The first project is the “Renovation of Mobile Control Tower” by 041 Communication Depot using local resources. The second innovative project is the “Design and Production of C-130 Tyre Removal Equipment” by 301 Heavy Airlift Group, while the design and production of “Aircraft Engine Compressor Washing Machine” by 531 Aircraft Maintenance Depot was adjudged the third most innovative project.

Still on the use of Special Forces Vehicles, only 2 countries in Africa I know use them. Namibia and South-Africa.


Namibian Special Forces Vehicle

South-African RDRV in Burundi during Zuma's visit.

While the South-African vehicle provides frontal protection against 7.62mm, it lacks space for a continued and sustained deployment.

The Namibian vehicle provides no protection whatsoever, but it has enough space for additional supplies.

The Proforce leopard on the other hand, accommodates all the features of both vehicles, with added advantage of all round light weight protection.

there was a recent documentary of KDF,But my wish they upgrade and expand their facilities,especially laikipia airbase.considering how strategically located and vital it is to the defence of our country.someone told me they are building hangars in wajir

While the South-African vehicle provides frontal protection against 7.62mm, it lacks space for a continued and sustained deployment.

Hence it's called the Hornet Rapid Deployment Reconnaissance Vehicle. Also, you missed the purpose-built trailers.

The Namibian vehicle provides no protection whatsoever, but it has enough space for additional supplies.

I don't know about the cousins, but the Brazilian SF have protection on their Agrale Marrua, courtesy of OTT Technologies which manufactures the ballistic cabs in both SA and Brazil. (pic of LPV included; can't find one of the SFV)

Lastly, I'm pretty sure all the north African countries bar Libya, use "Special Forces Vehicles".
