KingAzubuike: There are clones and thier are clones all with different grades some have regressed in quality and some have improved that quality. The Polish Beryl is a good quality improvement which the NA procured. What l expected was forward thinking and some sort of technology transfer for it to be made under licence here Another example is the Israeli Alpha AK47 variant. 4 Likes 1 Share |

rka2: You make a proposition from thin air that in the first instance that is disinformation, it seems you self birth ideas and notions and pass them off as facts and knowledge based probability. The Sepecat Jags were kept in Makurdi, and with regards to the 1985 Faild coup you should read up on the history and composition of the NAF at that time and the tribal dynamics that created paranoia among the IBB and Abacha associates in the military. Below an excerpt from Beeeagle one time prolific blogger on the subject. Sometime in 2007 when these jets were put on display by the NAF for prospective buyers to inspect, it emerged that a Jaguar B TRAINER variant (NAF 703) had flown for only 150 hours 54 minutes since it was manufactured in December 1984. It had its 100 hours inspection on the 10th day of February, 1986. It suggests that the crated fleet of Jaguar jets is almost brand-new still. When NAF offered the Jaguar for sale, BAe officials came for inspection/evaluation and among others conditions; they said that BAe will consider purchasing the planes at the purchase price or lower value than what Nigeria spent on the acquisition of the said jets. https://beegeagle./2012/08/22/how-nigeria-lost-the-use-of-her-jaguar-jets-without-most-of-them-logging-up-200-hours/ |

jpphilips: What is the co-relationship between training NAF fighter pilots and piloting a UAV that is a non question, doesn't make any sense. Your second question, I will respond with recent devastating example of the efficacy of UAV when it comes to stealth precision attacks with the target completely oblivious. Consider General Qasem Soleimani, taken out with a precision hit by a alleged Reaper drone. Can the very noisy A29 Turbo Prop hover in the air at 30,000ft + and hover around patiently for 30 hours, waiting patiently to strike. No it cannot. Do you think if Turkey had sent in A29 to deal with the Syrian army in Idlib they would have been so overwhelmingly successful. Thinking long term which of these planes is easier to shoot down, the noisy A29 or the near Silent drones, particularly for insurgents and thier obligatory AA guns on their pickups. Consider if you shoot down a cheap $1million Wing Loong II UAV, nobody dies you walk away no tears you buy another one, nuttin spoil. You shoot down an A29 there will be plenty tears, furthermore with a unit cost in excess of $30 million +that is a big loss. What is best value, one A29 against the 25+ Wing Loong II UAV, its what we call a , "NO BRAINER" The UAV is the future and the A29 competes with WW2 Mustangs of the USAF its realy a historical relic updated to meet modern day needs in the short term as a cheap alternative. But we paid G wagon money for a toyota corolla , it feels like the Yankees have given us a big Yahoo, and we fall hook, line & sinker. It is as obvious as DAYLIGHT the USA sells these overpriced frames to insignificant low valued partners at off the scale ridiculous prices. Do you see Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Isreal, not even Pakistan their strategic valued partners using A29, not one of them, they are using F16's at the very least. I consider the offer of the A29's as a diplomatic blatant rebuff by the USA to Nigeria it says we dont rate or value you. If the USA will not sell something better to us what about France, Germany , Russia, Sweden, etc 7 Likes 1 Share |

komekn: You talk as if you are an authority. I was an active participant on Beeg's blog. It is a blog and not gospel. I didn't tell you they weren't stored at Makurdi Air Base just that they were stored out in the open without any protection from the elements and by the time the Indians inspected them, they were not fit for purpose. Do these photos look like they were crated? Talking of disinformation, I can not think of anybody else so adept at it on this forum. 10 Likes 3 Shares

CAPACITY BUILDING: NAF TRAINS FLIGHT NURSES, CONFIGURES C-130H FOR EFFECTIVE AEROMEDICAL EVACUATION In furtherance of efforts to build the capacity of its personnel for the effective and efficient conduct of Aeromedical Evacuation missions to airlift wounded soldiers from various theatres of operation to appropriate treatment facilities, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has conducted a training for some of its flight nurses and aircrew. The week-long training, which came to an end today, 23 April 2020, with a simulation exercise at the flight line of the 307 Executive Airlift Group, Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja using the C-130H aircraft, was aimed at enhancing the knowledge of participants to enable them ensure that wounded personnel are stabilized and provided necessary life support from point of enplaning until they arrive at the destination facility. In this regard, a NAF C-130H aircraft has been configured to carry specialized stretchers for the patients along with necessary life support equipment, including patient monitors and ventilators Speaking during the event, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the training and simulation exercise, stating that it aptly depicted what was expected of flight nurses and other crew members while conducting aeromedical evacuation of wounded soldiers from the battlefield to the locations of designated medical facilities. He noted that the capability, which would reduce the risk to wounded personnel and enhance their chances of survival, could also be deployed for the emergency movement of COVID-19 patients, if so required. The CAS disclosed that the NAF had, over the past 4 and half years, made concerted efforts to build the capacity of its Medical personnel to not only ensure the provision of qualitative healthcare services to personnel and their families but also to ensure effective care for personnel wounded in action. To this end, he said, NAF Trauma/Emergency Care Teams had been set up in all theatres of operation. He noted that this has helped to boost morale and fighting spirit of the personnel. Air Marshal Abubakar therefore commended the Air Officer Commanding Mobility Command as well as the Chief of Medical Services and the Commander of the 301 Heavy Airlift Group for their efforts in ensuring the effective conduct of the training as well as the configuration of the C-130H. Also present at the event were some Branch Chiefs from Headquarters NAF, the Chief of Staff of Mobility Command as well as Commanders and other senior NAF officers.
