ugo4u: The army obviously needs the helicopters more in this scenario. The war has exposed lack of organizational coherence among the three services when it comes to warfare. Soldiers have often complained about lack of Air support when needed. The air force in response has stated that necessary authorization is needed before deploying their air assets. If the army has their own fighter helicopters fitted with all the necessary paraphernalia, it wouldn't need to radio the air force for support. Also, I will eliminate the bureaucracy (of authorization) that stands in the way of decimating an enemy from the air. 2 Likes |

ugo4u: Oga, the US army has their own helicopter fighter pilots. I'm sure you've heard of the Apache helicopter series flown by US army pilots not just for insertion but also for providing air support. |

ugo4u: There you go again, talking about how you have inside info. I don't need to start boasting about my military family or about which military base I am currently residing. OUR GOVERNMENT MAY BE MESSING UP BY NOT FUNDING THE MILITARY ENOUGH. But please DO NOT TELL ME THAT ARMY DON'T NEED COMBAT AIRCRAFTS One does not need to be inside or have military family before he or she could apply common sense. I am NOT saying we should become America. That's not possible. Their army have over 5,000 aircrafts. I did mentioned Britain, in population and landmass we are greater than Britain, in size Benue State is bigger than Israel. I am NOT even saying we should have the number of aircraft that these people have. I am just saying our army can make a difference if they own combat aircrafts. 4 Likes |

darkelf:Did you see me say army don't need an aviation unit? what I said is very clear, the army won't have the requisite spending power to effectively maintain and operate combat helicopters for combat mission. See air support is very very difficult to plan and execute it's not just flying aircraft and throwing bombs as most of you think, ask yourself what is happening to most of our aircraft that can't fly in NAFs inventory you think the airforce is happy being grounded abi, without funds there is nothing they can do. Even most of the army's main battle tanks T72s are not serviceable, which boils down to inadequate funds and you think the same army will spend scarce fund to procure combat helicopters. It's well. 1 Like |

Jafdoc:Being accused of boasting is what is making hold brakes to certain things. But if you want us to go ballistics two can play, that you come from a military family or stay in the barracks don't mean you fully have a grasp of the operational modalities of the military. Moreover I have seen children of military officers that are totally disinterested in anything concerning the military. I've being opportuned to sit in boards chaired by senior airforce officers(IHFS) and directors from Triax engineering services (owned by Arthur Eze) responsible for buying aircrafts and parts for the NAF, and I have commendation letter from NAF(if you want I'll post it here). It's not about being boastful, is having access to info on workings of the military. I FYI I never said army doesn't need helicopters, my point has always being clear, what we need at the interim is light attack/transport helos, not Mi35s Apahes. Not all missions require use of helos especially when your enemies have the weapons to bring any low flying aircraft down, or you think there won't be breifing/planning which includes knowledge of your enemies weapon systems before any mission. We don't even have enough funds to maintain the combat helos in NAF inventory, talkmore of the army. 5 Likes |

Even if I know about operational modalities, or classified info, you think I will come here on Nairaland and start spilling it? There is nothing you mentioned that is new. Inability to maintain platform is common knowledge to most Nigerians. In fact I mentioned earlier on this thread that "when it comes to effective use of technology to solve problem Nigeria as a country is a total failure". The country have the resources but poor management is a big problem. From poor road maintenance, to epileptic supply of power to non functional refineries. You can continue to name them. In so far as technology is involved, maintenance cost is involved and that's where management issues mess things up in Nigeria whether military or civil agency. We are all arguing to keep the thread alive, perhaps, some people will learn one or two things. No hard feelings bro. If you have info that is beneficial to the group, feel free to share. Are you going to deny the group important info just because of one nigga? 2 Likes |

Just because the military faces setbacks in the lake Chad region, tomorrow someone will come and say the navy should hand over all its gunboats to the amphibious unit of the army because they lack organisational structure (which is false). When the best special forces unit in the country is in the navy. Why do we have the JTF in the first place that is even chaired by an army officer, why does the NDA train both army, NAF and NN cadets together. 1 Like |

Re: Nigerian Army SSC And DSSC 2016/2017 Forum by Nobody: 2:49pm On Oct 12, 2019 |
ugo4u: This one you mentioned is a different case o. The army already have gunboats. Also Area of Operational Responsibility is clearly defined. The amphibious forces of the army in the riverine area have no intentions to take over the function of the navy. Army only have gunboats for riverine operations, they don't have seaworthy vessels because they have no intentions to go to the sea. Same with the air asset thing, army have no intentions to take over the function of the air force. No army general will ever talk about fighter jets and bombers. That is entirely the province of the air force. The suggestion I made about transferring assets is because of the urgency with which this war has to be brought to an end. It is clearly my opinion, no apologies about that. There have been serious complain from lower and mid level commanders about air force not responding to calls for air support. Army high command is aware of this, that's why they asking federal government for their own helicopters. 3 Likes |

One thing I know about the NAF is that they don't joke with the lives of their officers and men, they hold them in high esteem because of their investments in their personnel. To train even an NCO in specialist certified(ATCs, Airframe powerplant, Load masters etc) runs into millions, talkmore of pilots where to train one to the level of combat readiness will cost nothing less than N60million. For the army you're disposable, infact they value their rifles more than their personnel. That's why if you dessert with army rifle or loose it during operation your own done finish. It is not called a "mad man's" job for no reason. 5 Likes |

Make una go check 2020 budget for army and airforce know how far, awon combat helicopters. The Army for example only have N14bn to spend on purchases including armoured vehicles, tanks, weapons etc To train just 20 combat pilots and technicians will gulp almost 1bn alone talkmore of purchasing a frontline helicopters that cost roughly $30m per unit. We never begin talk about arming them, mind you, one heat seeking missile cost as much as $30k.

Insufficient funding is one thing spending priority is another thing. Do you know the Customs don't have scanners for inspection of containers at our seaport and border control points? This important tool is in the service of modern customs around the world. The manual inspection of containers is partly responsible for the delay in clearing goods and responsible for the traffic gridlock around the port axis. Why am I citing this one? I am only trying to say that no Nigerian agency is immune to all this bad management thing. The federal government of Nigeria have more spending on recurrent expenditure more than on capital project. Many of the staff on pay roll are idle and inefficient. They can be easily replaced by machine, robots (AI). They are ways to cut unnecessary cost thereby freeing money for capital project and other priority items. Nobody want to solve any problems. We are facing systemic failure, all these problems we are enumerating are signs of systemic failure. No sign that this problem will go away. Just take your army job and enjoy your salary jejely. You no go fit solve Nigeria problems. And if u fear death. abeg avoid infantry and armour corp. That's all. 1 Like |

I will say it again for the umpteenth time. If you are joining the army just condition your mind for the worst so that nothing you see in the field will take you by surprise, if it's only the salary or job security that is attracting you, and you're not a lady, e go too red for you oo!! when posting show irrespective of the corp you find yourself.
