LTGEN: Thank you for pointing this out. NAF Regiment troops , of which there are over 4,000 are mainly for base defence etc. Then there are SOF type forces which are over 1,000 and are deployed to the different QRFs. Then there are the recently graduated CSAR troops who are highly specialised and don't even appear to be up to a hundred. These SOF have been deployed to practically every hot spot in the country but now you get people coming out criticising the NAF for trying to produce SOF type forces of which they are nowhere near enough. Within the SOF & SF community, you even have specialities. I blame the NAF for being so open and modern. If we weren't kept abreast of developments, we would have been criticising them for not doing enough. For crying out loud. Majority of these troops are not SEAL or SAS SF types. They are tailored for specific purposes. 2 Likes |

INTERNAL SECURITY: NAF DEPLOYS SPECIAL FORCES TO BOOST SECURITY IN NASARAWA STATE, ACTIVATES THE 22 QUICK RESPONSE WING LAFIA In its bid to add impetus to ongoing operations in the North Central Zone of the Country, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) today, 17 May 2020, deployed additional Special Forces (SF) operatives to Lafia in Nasarawa State. The deployment of the SF elements follows the earlier deployment of a NAF Mi-35P Helicopter Gunship to conduct operations in the area and also marks the formal activation of the 22 Quick Response Wing (22 QRW) Lafia. The objective of the deployment is to hasten the restoration of peace and security to the North Central Zone. In his address to the troops during the deployment, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, who was represented by the Air Officer Commanding Special Operations Command (AOC SOC), Air Vice Marshal (AVM) Charles Ohwo, stated that the deployment was aimed at enhancing the existing security architecture in the area. He noted that the 22 QRW was established in 2018 with the objective of bringing security closer to the people by curbing the activities of bandits, kidnappers, cattle rustlers and other criminal elements in Nasarawa State and its environs, working in synergy with sister Services and other security agencies. He noted however that the Unit could not fully commence operations at that time due to some logistics and manpower constraints, which, he said, had recently been overcome in 2 ways. The first, the AOC disclosed, was the recent graduation of additional 94 SF personnel at the NAF Regiment Training Centre (RTC) Annex in Bauchi, while the second was the support provided by the Nasarawa State Government; which paved way for the deployment of the SF elements and their equipment. He therefore used the opportunity to thank the Governor and his entire cabinet for their unrelenting support towards ensuring that security agencies in the State succeed in performing their constitutionally assigned roles. AVM Ohwo also used the opportunity to congratulate the troops for being chosen as part of SF personnel to activate the 22 QRW Lafia. He charged them to continue to uphold the NAF’s core values of ‘Integrity’, ‘Service before Self’ and ‘Excellence’, as they carry out their assigned tasks. In his remarks, the Executive Governor of Nasarawa State, Engineer Abdulahi Sule, who was present to receive the troops, expressed appreciation for the swift response by the NAF to deploy SF elements to the State which, he said, would help to bring acts of criminality in the State to an end. The Governor added that the deployment was evidence of President Muhammadu Buhari’s pragmatic leadership and the importance the current Federal Government Administration attaches to the security of lives and properties of Nigerians in the North Central part of Nigeria. According to the Governor, “no one could have thought that the response to the requests that I made 3 days back, during a meeting with the President, would come into fruition so quickly”. He therefore thanked the President and the CAS for their efforts geared towards ensuring that peace is restored to Nasarawa and surrounding States.

NIGERIAN AIR FORCE SUSTAINING AIRLIFT EFFORTS IN SUPPORT OF NATIONAL RESPONSE TO CURB THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in Nigeria, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), in living up to its constitutional role of providing Military Aid to Civil Authority, has continued to provide support to the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 by airlifting medical equipment and supplies as well as personnel of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) as well as other Federal and State Government Officials across the Country to enable them continue their vital tasks in curbing the spread of the virus.

VT4 Heavy IFV- An copy of the heavy #Russian BMP T-15 Armata is being created in #China. A heavy infantry fighting vehicle will be created in China , which is estimated by many experts as an analogue of #Russian T-15 Armata.

The GNA forces had conducted a successful aerial attack to South Sirte and destroyed a Russian made Panstir air defence system. Looks like some smoke damage but missiles didn’t cook off. That sound you hear is CIA putting in a large bid to MiT for who can run the reverse engineering program. After watching the video of the drone strike of the Panstir system, it seems it was not operational while on the move. If not it should have detected that there his a drone overhead or should we say this systems are overrated or fails sometimes. 1 Like

bidexiii: The GNA have captured al-Watiyah Airbase from the #GNA, including a Pantsir S-1/SA-22 Greyhound. One of their biggest strategic achievements in recent months and certainly the biggest since capturing Garyan.

Looks like ISWAP already putting their recently captured stash of 122mm rockets to work. The assailants launched several rocket shells against the SDF positions. No assessment at this stage.
