FIGHT AGAINST INSURGENCY: NAF TAKES DELIVERY OF 2 NEW ATTACK HELICOPTERS, AS CAS CELEBRATES EASTER WITH FRONTLINE TROOPS IN MAIDUGURI, YOLA The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has taken delivery of 2 Agusta 109 Power attack helicopters, which are currently being assembled for induction during the forthcoming 2019 NAF Day Celebration taking place in Abuja from 27 - 29 April 2019. This was disclosed by the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, today, 22 April 2019, in Maiduguri during a luncheon with troops of the Air Task Force (ATF) Operation LAFIYA DOLE (OPLD) to mark the Easter Celebrations. The luncheon, which is in keeping with the CAS’ tradition of celebrating festive periods with frontline troops, afforded him the opportunity to interact with the troops in an informal setting to appreciate them for their sacrifices in the fight against insurgency, thereby boosting their morale while also filling the void created by their inability to celebrate the season with their families. In his remarks at the event, the CAS expressed delight to be in Maiduguri and commended the resilience and commitment of the troops in ensuring that Nigeria and Nigerians are safe. He said the NAF, with the support of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Muhammadu Buhari, as well as the National Assembly, would continue to acquire new platforms and build human capacity whilst ensuring the welfare of personnel, in order to effectively and efficiently respond to national security imperatives. He specially commended the Commader, officers, airmen and airwomen of the ATF for the successes recorded in the fight against the terrorists within the OPLD Theatre as well as in the Multi-National Joint Task Force Operation YANCIN TAFKI. He equally commended the ATF Commander for the various value adding welfare projects that had been executed to enhance the wellbeing of personnel. The CAS reminded the personnel that so much was at stake in the fight to rid the Nation of insurgents, terrorists, armed bandits and other criminal elements. Accordingly, he urged them to remain resolute while intensifying their efforts and maintaining continuous vigilance to defend the liberties and values Nigerians hold so dear. Air Marshal Abubakar seized the opportunity to thank the government and people of Borno State as well as the Shehu of Borno and other traditional rulers in the State for their continued support to the NAF through the ATF OPLD. He equally appreciated President Muhammadu Buhari for his unflinching support to the NAF by ensuring the enabling environment and providing the necessary resources for the Service to perform its assigned duties. He noted that the delivery of the 2 Agusta 109 Power attack helicopters was a testimony of this immense support. He remarked that the NAF, working in concert with sister Services and other security agencies, would continue to reciprocate by sustaining its operations, not only in the Northeast but also in the Northwest, in order to ensure that Nigerians are able to pursue their legitimate aspirations, without fear. Earlier in his welcome address, the ATF Commander, Air Vice Marshal (AVM) James Gwani, expressed the appreciation of the officers and men of the ATF to the CAS for his consistent presence in Maiduguri, which he said, was not only a huge source of motivation, but also a staunch indication of his commitment to the welfare and morale of the personnel. He thanked the CAS for providing all necessary facilities to ensure effective service delivery and pledged their unwavering loyalty and commitment towards ensuring mission accomplishment. Branch Chiefs and other senior officers from Headquarters NAF accompanied the CAS to the luncheon, which also had the Lawan of Gomari and other members of the Gomari Community in attendance. In a similar vein, the CAS had earlier feted ATF troops in Yola at an Easter Luncheon on 21 April 2019. The CAS, who was represented by the Chief of Policy and Plans (COPP) Headquarters NAF, AVM Emmanuel Anebi, commended the troops for their commitment and resilience in the fight against insurgency noting that Nigerians were appreciative of their enormous sacrifices and efforts at ensuring the territorial integrity and security of the Nation. He emphasised that the get-together was also aimed at fostering comradeship and regimentation among troops, while charging them to maintain continuous vigilance at all times. The CAS appreciated the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Muhammadu Buhari, for his unflinching support to the NAF by ensuring the enabling environment and providing the necessary resources for the Service to perform its assigned duties. According to him, “We can only show our gratitude for the President’s support to the NAF by remaining a disciplined force and exhibiting the highest level of professionalism in all our activities. I therefore enjoin you all not to relent in your efforts”, he said. IBIKUNLE DARAMOLA Air Commodore Director of Public Relations and Information Nigerian Air Force 3 Likes

Xbee007: Chad caused Nigeria's problem in the first place. Thousand kpv zsu anti aircraft killer technical Toyota battalions came through their lands into Nigeria from 2012 when BH started overrunning NA bases. Cameroon, Niger Rep, Chad are permanent open transit routes for deadly Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Arabia Middle East black market military grade weapons killing our soldiers and alpha jets. 300 Chibok girls were kept enslaved for years in Cameroon-Chad forests, reason UK, US, and NAF flews best ISR planes and drones searching Nigeria but never found our girls. If Chad like, let them not join us, if Nigeria becomes viable BHT ISWAP base, they will launch Jihad into Chad too, they never get satisfied taking one country, they spread caliphate everywhere they can to gain worldwide empire, Mali was not enough prize fro them. If those 40,000 Boko Haram fighters at full strength had focused on Chad's 20,000 army, they will beg France for oyinbo legion battalions intervention force. As for BHT focusing on Cameroon, Biya will run to hide in Paris, while Niger Rep will cease to exist . Nigeria's 195 million population, NAF young pilots like late Hedima that will never give up, our 500,000 army+police is just too big for BHT to overrun. Let other countries now claiming champion, taste what Nigeria had to swallow, then lets see how they perform 8 Likes |

NAF AIRCRAFT NEUTRALIZES SEVERAL ARMED BANDITS AT SUBUBU FOREST IN ZAMFARA STATE The Air Task Force (ATF) for Operation DIRAN MIKIYA has neutralized no fewer than 10 armed bandits at Sububu Forest area in Zamfara State. This was achieved yesterday, 22 April 2019, while the ATF was responding to a request for close air support by ground troops of Sector 7 Area of Responsibility of Operation SHARAN DAJI, who had come into contact with armed bandits in Shinkafi Local Government Area (LGA). Accordingly, the ATF dispatched 2 Alpha Jets and an attack helicopter to provide the needed support and also conduct armed reconnaissance over identified locations in Shinkafi LGA as well as Sububu and Dumburum Forests and environs. At Sububu Forest, one of the Alpha Jets spotted a group of armed bandits, who fired at the aircraft with their rifles, whilst running for cover. The Alpha Jet engaged the bandits, neutralizing no fewer than 10 of them while others escaped with injuries. The NAF, working in consonance with surface forces and other security agencies, will sustain its operations to flush the bandits out of the Northwest of the Country.

By Daniel Anderson “Go Nigerian Army! For over two years the California National Guard and Army Aviation has been assisting the Nigerian Army start an Aviation Branch equipped to provide Helicopter support to their ground forces and people. Through the State Partnership program we’ve held several exchanges and visits to share our Army Aviation experiences, lessons, and way of doing business. In July of 2018 I went to Nigeria to provide training to their Aviation leadership and pilots. Just this week their leadership came here and I had the privilege to assist in hosting and providing training again. What an honor it is to assist them in starting a program from ground zero and to engage in all areas of helicopter aviation management, maintenance, training, and doctrine development.” 4 Likes

All you five mumus that replied my comment saying I smoke hemp your type of senselessness is why I hate wasting my precious time on this boringly monotonous and repetitive ak-47-hilux-alpha jet forum full of shallow thinkers except the 3 or 4 sensible guys here. You cannot even figure out peak strength of Boko Haram? We ordinary folks have more sense than you who claim military knowledge. I don't post anything without first reading lots of facts and asking those who know better, ¾ of my posts need you to do research before you can say my facts are wrong. Am no genius, but I do my homework before I write. Yes, Boko Haram I called 40,000 fighters at peak era, I am 100% correct, na you be born mumu. "Local and international experts put number at between 5,000 and 50,000 active Boko Haram fighters." https://medium.com/war-is-boring/how-big-is-boko-haram-fac21c25807 You don't know science of estimates, your brain needs full upgrade like alpha jet for you to think at that level, I need to find web info sources all the time to educate you adults with brains like Fulani cow 1. First, how can BHT withstand NA, NAF, NN 30,000 troops if Boko Haram is not ± 40,000 fighters? 2. Second, 2014, how can Boko Haram firmly hold Nigerian lands big as size of Belgium with permanent caliphate garrison 24/7 impregnable to DHQ for months, and still have thousands of fighters based in camps in Cameroon, Niger Rep, Chad, added to 14 big local governments in Nigeria, and still have enough additional mobile guerilla forces that overrun our FOBs, if it has men not near 40,000 strength? So your half empty skull cannot do basic quadrant mapping calculations of these four countries per square kilometre of BHT caliphate size to estimate total of how many men Shekau will need as roaming guerillas and occupying huge swaths of land? Na your mumu type full dis Africa till we miss road to progress.
