COAS CONFERENCE WITH PRINCIPAL STAFF OFFICERS, GENERAL OFFICERS COMMANDING AND FIELD COMMANDERS HELD AT THE ARMY HEADQUARTERS ON MONDAY 22 JUNE 2020 1. The Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen TY Buratai held a special and exclusive meeting with his Principal Staff Officers, General Officers Commanding and Field Commanders at the Army Headquarters Abuja on Monday 22 June 2020. The meeting was specifically intended to serve as a call to action, change the war narrative and a wake up call in our efforts to combat Boko Haram terrorism and insurgency, North West Banditry as well as the myriad of other security challenges across the country. 2. During the meeting a wide range of security issues were discussed such as the state of Counter Terrorism and other Internal Security Operations in Nigeria as well as the necessity for Commanders, Officers and men to redouble their efforts and ensure that all threats to security in the country are effectively checkmated. 3. Lt Gen Buratai directed all Commanders/GOCs, officers and men of the Nigerian Army to ensure that the charge given by the President, Commander - in- Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria must be fully implemented so as to speedily crush BH terrorism and the myriad of security threats facing the nation. The COAS stated that "the criminals, their collaborators and sponsors must be exposed, flushed out and destroyed". 4. He further stated that the Nigerian Army has commenced major reorganization of her operations for optimal performance. He charged all Commanders to lead the charge by being out in the field to effectively oversee the operations. Gen Buratai reiterated the need for an all encompassing positive changes in the NA operations and the security situation in the country. According to the COAS "there is no time for complacency, no time for excuses and there will be no tolerance for shortcomings or failures, the situation must be reversed immediately". 5. At the end of the Conference, one of the key decisions taken was to shift the location for Nigerian Army Day Celebration 2020 to Katsina State during which a major Army exercise nicknamed EX SAHEL SANITY will be conducted 1 Like |

Stormtrooper11: I would add to what you have said using Turkey as a case study. Turkey has proven beyond all doubt and raised the game. With its comprehensive wiping of the Syrian army in a matter of days. Primarily anchored on its UAV'S. The Assad regime suffered heavy losses as a result of the drone campaign: 3,000 soldiers, 151 tanks, eight helicopters, three drones, three fighter jets (including two Russian-made Sukhoi Su-24s), around 100 armored military vehicles and trucks, eight aerial defense systems, 86 cannons and howitzers, ammunition trucks and dumps, and one headquarters, among other military equipment and facilities. https://www.mei.edu/publications/fight-syrias-skies-turkey-challenges-russia-new-drone-doctrine In addition these same drones have removed Haftar from his position of dominance to one of humiliation and retreat in Libya. What I am saying is that UAV technology is changing VERY RAPIDLY the entire battlefield management and strategy. UAV are the current FUTURE, with zero risk to pilots. Turkey has added another dimension electro magnetic warfare, as a consequence rendering the previously dreaded Russian pantsir air defence system effectively impotent. The latest UAV by Turkey is the Akinci (Raider) which remains the most noteworthy asset of the next generation Turkish unmanned airpower. Produced by Baykar, the Akinci has a payload of 1,350kg of multiple precision weaponry. Boko for now do not have anything to shoot down anything at high and even medium altitude so UAV technology will dominate unopposed. Which means Boko will struggle to operate and be very limited in what the can do. 6 Likes |

kikuyu1: This is not a topic for this discourse. There is way too much depth to go onto before we can even touch the top of the iceberg. We can go into Kushand the several dynasties of Black African pharaohs. And we know the Israel inter married with Egyptians of different tribes, race and creeds. We know of the unique relationship of Ethiopia with Isreal, indeed Bathsheba was black. And the Israelites at that time were certainly not white. The story is very long. 1 Like |

Faithful007: Actually UAV's are more suited to intense battlefield contention because of thier precision munitions. The danger of friendly fire is very high in close proximity contact. A UAV has the capacity to do face recognition can loiter at high altitude unknown for 30 hours. Times have changed its not WW2, pilots don't have to manoeuvre with precision weaponry anymore. Update yourself please. Actually no aircraft will have the same situational spatial awareness that a UAV has. It's primary purpose at inception was to create situational awareness. You do the mathematics 50 Wing Loong II UAV plus munitions we already by have the existing infrastructure operational control stations so a possible upscale is not that expensive. The range is 1500 miles so you can operate from Abuja or even Benin if you want too. Total cost including munitions for the next two years or more for 50 Wing Loong II UAV's $65 MILLION. But most importantly delivered HERE and NOW. I then have $535 million left. To support the UAV 12 used SU25 at $4/5 million each. Very serious ground attack fighter. If you go down the HERE and NOW route mixture of refurbished and new armoured vehicles. Which will include at least 150 But in reality IMO air power is more suited to conventional warfare not the particular COIN like we have with Boko. Boko are not going around in MBT, IFV or exchanging long range artillery fire. 95% of them are hitting us with AK47's, GMPG, grenades then the 5% is rickety gun trucks mounted with HMG not stabilised, Rpg7's and a lesser extent SVBIED, IED'S. We should have forward bases from where search and destroy missions are despatched in 10/15 IFV'S, LAV,s APC'S and need be MBTs to support when needed. They should be semi autonomous night and day looking to take out Boko. Why are we approaching it like it's conventional warfare. Boko are not running a caliphate they are fluid on the move. So we need to be as fluid and flexible as well, not in static position firing artillery from a distance. 9 Likes |

Had it been some of you guys existed in the 80's and 90's as defense analysts,you would have opposed the use of light COIN aircraft like the super tucano,and prefer bomber aircrafts. Thats how this UCAV case is.we just sayin' UCAV is very suitable for COIN warfare like ours.we are fighting a war of attrition.we need to reduce operational costs |

kikuyu1: The Bnei Menashe returnees are not even complete. The chosen people are the descendants of Jacob, but I won't call Benjamin Netanyahu and his country men impostors in the state of Israel, that's a stretch. Britain legitimized their stay with the Balfour agreement and the Law of return so they have the right to be there, however, while there, they cannot claim there to be the land of their father's, it will be insulting to the Bnei Menashe & other tribes. I think they are protecting it for the real owners definitely not the Palestinians. 4 Likes |

#Press Release FORCE PROTECTION GROUP OF NAF 404 KADUNA THWARTS ARMED BANDITS’ RUSTLING OPERATION, RECOVERS 40 CATTLE ALONG KAUYA-TSAMIYA VILLAGE AXIS IN KADUNA STATE 1. Personnel of the 404 Force Protection Group (404 FPG) Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Base Kaduna have thwarted an armed bandits’ attack along Kwauya-Tsamiya Village axis in Kaduna State. This occurred in the early hours of Sunday, 21 June 2020, following reports that some cattle rustlers/armed bandits had raided the Fulani settlements adjacent to the NAF Base and seized some heads of cattle from some herders at gun point. 2. A Rapid Response Force (RRF) Team was immediately dispatched to pursue and recover the rustled cattle. The RRF Team, supported by NAF Special Forces deployed to Operation BADAMAMAKI, in conjunction with the local vigilantes, quickly located the bandits and engaged them in a firefight causing them to retreat in multiple directions abandoning 40 cattle in the process. While there were no casualties to any civilian or NAF personnel in the encounter, some of the bandits managed to escape with gunshot wounds. 3. The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, commends the personnel of 404 FPG for their dedication and professionalism and urges them to sustain their efforts to curb the activities of bandits and all other criminal elements threatening the peace and security of our beloved country.

The government should just find a way to pay for the remaining MI-35 helicopters waiting to be paid for in Russia and get them delivered as soon as possible. They will really change things. Also, NPF helicopters should be taken from them and if possible, they should be upgraded and used for aerial patrols in the troubled states. It might be too late already for northern Nigeria. 3 Likes |

Toju200: Head of USAF described the A29 as an aircraft that is for poorer countries and expiremental for the USA. Do some open source investigation and find out the budget for this experimental programme by the USAF. Finally, it's an experiment that has been ongoing for over 5 years. What happened if they don't adopt and dismiss it as not fit for purpose. What will be your deduction. |
Re: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by komekn(m): 10:31pm On Jun 22, 2020 |
GeneralFarouq: Take out Brazil because they make this aircraft themselves. Look at the countries that you are using to give credence to the efficacy of this airframes. None of them are serious strategic partners of the USA and spend pennies on military expenditure. They are highly insignificant poor level associate countries. Why did Isreal, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, UAE, Japan, South Korea, Canada and the entire NATO block as well as other European countries not adopt this aircraft as the best COIN aircraft. Finally, how many A29 does the USAF have l confess to exaggeration it's nowhere near 30. Which is a paltry number by USAF standards. 3 Likes |

bidex111: That attributes is not unique to the A29 that ability is very much available to all NAF fighter jet. If you want to upgrade the Isreals Elbit Systems can put in a new WDNS that is comparable or exceeds the A29 on our very reliable Alpha jets. However, fighter jet is much faster and you don't hear it until it's gone. Has a bigger payload, for instance the Alpha Jet is close to 3000kg compared to the A29's 1500kg. The loud humming drone from the much slower A29 turboprop can be heard from miles away. Particularly if it flies at medium to low altitude. This experimental aircraft by the USAF is very good but it's not unique or the best by any standard. However, it is definitely the most EXPENSIVE in the world. It is still being experimented upon and as you can see below.

Drones are not attack platforms.Look at drone designs, air platforms with large long perpendicular wing are designed for high altitude slow speed operations.This is far from what attack platform look like and is more suited for surveillance and taking out HVT ( high value targets) This is the function of these drones,this is what they do. when the US ground forces call in air strikes for CAS it is not Drones that arrives.Drone strikes require lots of preplanned Hummit because the pilots awareness is limited. Attack aircraft are akin to the regular GI,while drones are to snipers. Snipers take out high value targets and are deployed away from regulars. If you are talking about drones for surveillance go ahead and buy, but for attack? please, they are not designed from the onset for attack on ground forces in a battle field, there are platform for that. The U.S. airforce don't want Tucanos because they already have warthogs. Anyway,the US airforce don't like being called into battle by the army for CAS,they like to make their own decisions than being seen as second to army. Again,drones are not ground attack platforms but surveillance with limited attack of HVT. If the US saw drones as attack platforms they will retire the Apache,warthog and blackhawk 8 Likes |

I am watching TVC news now reporting about Borno and this insurgency. Some things they are saying l find VERY HARD to believe. For instance 5 local government arras are completely without any control by government literally abandoned. The Governor has not been to his home town since 2014. Babajide is giving his own eye witness account he even talks about an incident where 150+ soldiers were killed in one incident. This is very very hard to believe. 3 Likes |

komekn: You draw ridiculous conclusions, USAF has a dedicated platform for CAS the A10 Warthog, due to age, they wanted to upgrade to F35, congress refused, voted more money for A10's overhaul, yet they started experimenting on using turbo prop, the question is; why has Turbo prop become a battlefield necessity instead of getting more reapers? All these have been shown to you yet you keep recycling garbage, do you want your lie to become truth because you say it over and over? USAF has always had Turbo props as trainers, for some reasons they want to introduce them into combat, you should keep quiet & study that reason, instead of trying to sell a coffin on a military thread. 8 Likes |

This event you are mentioning was supported by aircrafts & heavy Artillery on the ground, in case you don't know, the Syrian Su 24 that was destroyed was an airport attack where a jet helped jam the air defense system before the drones penetrated, don't think the number you counted is a drone only success, it is not. BTW do you know what Turkish defence budget is? 10X Nigeria's so don't think 135 tank strikes came cheap. You are comparing apples with Oranges. 3 Likes |

There is a free flow borehole along that Gasarawa on Monguno-Maiduguri road that they come to fetch water. once its 4:30Pm we tag it then as ISAWP water fetching time and all staff should avoid being on that road from 4pm Nothing wey i no see for that axis 10 Likes |
