Nah Tucano this man dey calculate...I don even delete am from my memories.

I just want the deal cancelled. It's better to get more jf17 through the Chinese directly with the money and wait for less than 2 years for delivery.

I don't think our policy makers understand the urgent need of a potent aerial COIN platform.

Coil gun or rail gun.

Looks like a supply ship sef. I haven't even heard anything about it.


17 days countdown to the Tucano deadline

It’s a landing ship tank, abeg after 17 days inform us, who on earth gives deadline for payment before factory workers even start work ? Can’t we negotiate installment plan to pay in bits ?

This level of shakara is insulting and it won’t end here, what happens when we want to use those aircrafts in a way the US doesn’t approve of, they withhold spares/ammo and effectively ground them abi?

Yes, seen the full picture. It's a testbed.


I see sanctions coming. Just watch the congress block the sales of spare parts after some time. The whole thing isn't a good deal.

They are the same device ...a rail gun is just an electromagnetically powered weapon system. Hence the "coil"...the projectile is propelled along a railing.

In fact we deserve all the consequences that come with this purchase, I mean the 80’s and 90s aren’t that long ago right! The people leading NAF today were in the force when the British allowed our jaguar jets rust on the tarmac while we flew alpha jets in support of ECOMOG.

What happens when trump is no longer president and his successors don’t have the same kind of drive to support NAF ?

How will they solve the power issue? That was why the US canceled their own rail gun project

17 days countdown to the Tucano deadline

The tucano is a good CION asset.

But is it by force to buy from America. I pray we don't meet the deadline, we can always go to Russia for other air assets.

The alien looking Zumwalt ship? It makes sense since only 3 would be built. Besides it enormous amount of energy for a single bullet to be fired and it tears it self after.

Funny thing is it was printed on the shirt, they got this during their training and should have been given new gear on arrival back to naija...having a flag from Pakistan even though we know we should have trained with the Indians (respect) tells alot about our military.

tdayof:


Pakistan.

Just noticed now.

But it's a Pakistan and Nigerian flag, these is the first time I'll be noticing these.

What about an A10-Warthog it's basically a flying Vulcan Cannon

As far as I know, only US use warthog

I was trying to remind Tdayof that since he doesn't like guns he could start by admiring the Warthog which is a flying gun.

NAF GRADUATES ANOTHER SET OF TRAINEES, RECRUITS 5,707 IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) yesterday, 2 February 2018, graduated 1,544 recruits, who have just successfully completed the Basic Military Training Course (BMTC) 38/2017 at the NAF’s Military Training Centre (MTC), Kaduna. The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, who was the Reviewing Officer and Guest of Honour during the colourful Passing Out Parade (POP) ceremony, stated that the NAF had trained a total of 5,707 young Nigerians as airmen/airwomen since July 2015, when the current NAF leadership assumed office. This, according to him, is in consonance with the NAF’s aspiration of boosting the capacity of the Service to curtail insecurity and insurgency in Nigeria. He then expressed his delight that the efforts made by the current administration at expanding the training facilities have continued to meet the desired objectives.

Speaking further during the Passing Out Parade ceremony held on the Parade Ground of MTC, Air Marshal Abubakar said the 6 months of rigorous training was designed to prepare the recruits for a challenging but rewarding career. He added that he was not too surprised that 55 of those who started the training could not withstand the strenuous training. He therefore congratulated the graduands for their resilience to withstand the rigours of training while announcing that they would be further equipped through series of specialist training courses in the course of their career in the NAF. Air Marshal Abubakar also charged the graduands to take advantage of the knowledge and skill acquired, from the Internal Security Module, to safeguard lives and properties wherever and whenever they were deployed for Internal Security duties. In addition, the CAS reminded the new recruits of their civic responsibility and that they were subject to both military and civil laws. “You should always remember that good civil-military relations is a key component of a civilized society. You must therefore resist the temptation to brutalize civilians. Your duty is to protect all Nigerians irrespective of their political, ethnic, religious or other inclinations”, he added.

Air Marshal Abubakar then assured Mr President of the NAF’s unalloyed loyalty and total commitment to his administration’s aspiration for a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria. One of the highlights of the occasion was the presentation of awards, by the CAS, to the best 3 graduands in order of merit. The award recipients were Aircraftwoman Ololade Olabisi, Aircraftman Elekwachi Ifeanyi and Aircraftman Ukuta Michael, three of who won the CAS Award, AOC GTC Award and Commandant MTC Award respectively. It was the first time in the history of the NAF that a female would come first during BMTC. The POP ceremony was attended by many senior military officers, serving and retired, as well as dignitaries, including the representatives of the Governors of Kaduna and Yobe States. Another set of successful recruits would soon commence the BMTC at MTC, NAF Base Kaduna.
