Dozens of Chadian Soldiers Killed in #BokoHaram Surprise Attack | RFI

amp.rfi.fr/en/africa/2022…
Looks like this was the second deadliest attack suffered by our Chadian brothers after the March 2020 blowout which saw them losing 92 soldiers in one battle.

This attack has again proven our assertion that the Super Camp strategy adopted in Nigeria and copied by the Malians appears to work better than isolated FOBs.

This was supposedly a 150-man contingent looking to go an fortify an isolated FOB. ISWAP struck.

Ponder the outcome

FACT FILE: NIGERIAN DEFENCE ACADEMY

The greatest gap in seniority which has ever existed between ANY two regular course cohorts at the Nigerian Defence Academy was that which existed between Regular Courses 1 and 2.

Per commonality, both RCs uniquely had no NAF cadets
Whereas the Regular Course 1 cohort commenced training on 20 January 1964 and were commissioned in March 1967, Regular Course 2 arrived there on 9 May 1966 and were commissioned in March 1969.

They were the ONLY two NDA RC cohorts which fought in the Nigerian Civil War
What this means is that IF NDA Course 1 had instead gone to Sandhurst for training, they would have been commissioned no later than Jan 1966 - by which time RC 2 had not even become officer cadets.

Nigeria’s Air Force Defends The Region

adf-magazine.com/2018/03/nigeri…
Excerpts

1. In the 1990s, Nigeria became the key player in a West African mission to restore order to war-torn Liberia.
2. Before ECOMOG could restore order, it first had to subdue the rebels by force. In the final months of 1990, four Nigerian Alpha Jets repeatedly hit rebel gun placements, supply convoys and headquarters.

POINT TO PONDER

Discountenancing the objective of liberating comrades, WHAT IF ISWAP struck in faraway Kainji, so as to bolster their position in the face of withering fortunes in the NW?

Are ISWAP looking towards synergy with ISGS, active 200 miles away in Niger+Burkina Faso?
I STRONGLY believe that AQIM affiliated active on our borders in Benin Republic ultimately aim to bolster ANSARU’s position in Nigeria and believe that ISWAP’s westward drift aims as much to free comrades as it hopes to kickstart operational collaboration with ISGS
That way, both embattled franchises - ISWAP and ISGS - would mutually reinforce bolster each other in Niger, Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali.

30 YEARS AFTER: The Crash Of The Nigerian Air Force’s Lockheed C130H At 1735 Hrs, Saturday 26 September 1992.

Confirmed Military Casualties:
151 Nigerian, 5 Ghanaian, 1 Tanzanian, 1 Zimbabwean and 1 Ugandan reported DEAD.

aviation-safety.net/database/recor…
That was one calamitous September for the armed forces for only 20 days earlier,Colonel Ezra Domven Rindam,a Langtang native, was shot dead by policemen on a quiet Sunday night at the Adekunle area of Lagos while traveling with his twin and superior in the army, Colonel Israel
Concerning the crash of the said NAF 911, the rumor mill was agog with insinuation to the effect that the plane was sabotaged in a bid to preserve regime security. That angle never made any sense to me, even from Day 1. Why?

TWO VARIANTS Of The Lockheed Hercules Transport Plane In Service With The Nigerian Air Force

On the left is the regular-sized C130H (NAF 913) and the visibly larger stretch variant C130H-30 (NAF 918) pictured to the right of your screen

Just trying to aid the military knowledge of interested watchers
Believe it or not, you gotta make way for ALL the regular-sized C130s. Those birds were inducted by the Obasanjo-led FMG in the 1970s. They are true African heroes as well. What do I mean? Well, listen up.

TIME TO RESUME THE NAF EXPO

FOR THE RECORD,we were among the loudest critics of the NAF Expo of yesteryears,calling it an exposition of nothing.

We asked why the NAF would invite Egypt, Algeria, India and Pakistan here to show them F7s and A-Jet, knowing what those nations fly
How times have changed for the Nigerian Air Force. Now, we can call our friends back for the NAF are looking good again. They shall look even better in 6-24 months, given pending deliveries of the aircraft types on order.
Picture the expo grounds and see in your mind’s eye

- Mi-35M attack helos

- A29 Super Tucano

- T129 ATAK

-AH-1Z Viper

- JF-17 Thunder

- M-346

- Wing Loong II UCAV

- CH-3B + CH-4B UCAVs

Looking contemporary. “Willing, Able, Ready”
