Saw some MOPOL in Minna today with what can only be Beryl or an upgraded AK 103. Foldable stock, Picatinny rail, exactly like that of AFSF without the scope. Blue, red and white colored hilux with MOPOL written on the side and Commander written where the plate is. ![]() ![]() |

TSAIGUMI UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE ON EXERCISE HARD STRIKE The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), on 15 February 2018, inducted the first indigenous operational Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) nicknamed, Tsaigumi. The Tsaigumi UAV, which was produced by NAF Aerospace Engineers in collaboration with UAVision of Portugal, would be used for Intelligence Surveillance and Recognisance (ISR) operations in land and sea domains. It could also be used for policing operations, disaster management, convoy protection, maritime patrol, pipeline and power line monitoring as well as mapping and border patrol duties. In addition, it could be deployed for the protection of wildlife, weather forecast and telecast. Additionally, in the maritime domain, the Tsaigumi UAV could be used for search and rescue, coastal monitoring and patrol of Nigeria’s Exclusive Economic Zone. The UAV, which is capable of day and night operations, has an operational endurance in excess of 10 hours, a service ceiling of 15,000 feet and a mission radius of 100km. It has a maximum take-off weight of 95kg and its payload is an electro-optic/infra-red camera system. Click below and watch the Tsaigumi UAV in action in a military exercise.

PRESS RELEASE CLARIFICATIONS OF MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT NIGERIAN AIR FORCE FIRST INDIGENOUS OPERATIONAL UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE KNOWN AS TSAIGUMI https://mobile.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2038590796353861&id=1684425015103776&_rdr It has become necessary to clarify certain misconceptions, which followed the announcement, by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), of the induction of its first indigenous operational Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) by President Muhammadu Buhari. To set the records straight, while GULMA UAV is indeed the NAF’s first indigenous UAV, the newly inducted TSAIGUMI UAV is the first indigenous OPERATIONAL UAV. Both UAV types are the outcomes of Research and Development (R& ![]() By 2013, the NAF developed an experimental UAV, codenamed GULMA, which was then unveiled as the first indigenous UAV. It is noteworthy that Gulma UAV was a technology demonstrator used to gather performance data on UAV systems. Consequently, in September 2015, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, directed the NAF’s R& ![]() Tsaigumi UAV, which is capable of day and night operations, has an operational endurance in excess of 10 hours, a service ceiling of 15,000 feet and a mission radius of 100km. It has a maximum take-off weight of 80kg and its payload comprises an electro-optical infrared camera system as well as weapon hard points. The Tsaigumi UAV, whose engine sound is muffled, has a state of the art encrypted communication system. It has a wingspan of 5.5metres and is able to gather real time weather information. On the contrary, the Gulma UAV has an operational endurance of 4 hours, a service ceiling of 5,000 feet and could not be operated beyond 20km. It has a maximum take-off weight of 40kg and its payload is an electro-optical camera system only. The Gulma UAV, whose engine sound is not muffled, relies on direct radio frequency communication system with attendant limitations. The Gulma has a wingspan of 4.4 metres and relies on Air Traffic Control for weather information. Besides, while the Gulma UAV has an imported autopilot, the operational Tsaigumi UAV has an in-house developed autopilot. Tsaigumi UAV is thus a much more advanced and operationalized version of the earlier produced Amebo and Gulma UAV prototypes. The NAF is currently working on the ICHOKU, which when completed, would be the first indigenous Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV), following which the general public would again be updated. It should be noted that R& ![]() OLATOKUNBO ADESANYA Air Vice Marshal Director of Public Relations and Information Nigerian Air Force 4 Likes |

tdayof: The new one is less noisy, has a higher loiter time, range and altitude, i think it is correct to conclude the Tsigumi is an advancement from the Gulma. Ichoku is in in the works according to the NAF spokes person. |

jakeporeshenko: What I could gather from the clip about NAF recent helicopter incident. Troops on a routine patrol mission encountered a SBVIED and some were injured. The MI-17 was dispatched for a MEDEVAC. However, due to the unprepared nature of the LZ the pilots' vision were obscured by the rising dust, BROWNOUT, so the tail rotor hit an obstacle and broke off. The personnel on ground were ordered to salvage useful parts of the helicopter and airstrikes was carried out on the remains. Military personnel left the location and BHTs elements shot at nothingness for a while and made a chilling propaganda video out of it. NA lost lots of valuable equipment but no life was lost from the encounter. Perhaps, it could have been handled differently but the bottom line is lessons have been learnt. 1. Never send a fast moving aircraft with dumb bombs for CAS. The CH3s would have done an awesome job. 2. Securing Landing Zones entails damping the area with water to avoid BROWNOUT effect. 3. Human lives are more valuable than any piece of equipment. Just make sure you leave nothing behind for your enemies, Scorch Earth tactics. etc.... 2 Likes
