Le Nigeria se dote d'avions de surveillance maritime dernier cri contre la piraterie
   
Lagos, 19 août 2014 (AFP) -


L'armée nigériane a présenté mardi à la presse un nouvel avion de surveillance maritime dernier cri pour protéger ses côtes des attaques de pirates qui ne cessent d'augmenter.

L'agence fédérale de sécurité maritime et l'armée de l'air disposeront au total de sept de ces avions ATR42-500 équipés chacun de système de caméras, capteurs et radar, selon le sergent Sunday Olalekan Omotosho.

"Aucun bateau ne pourra échapper à notre surveillance quand le système sera complètement opérationnel", a-t-il affirmé aux reporters qui ont embarqué pour un vol de démonstration de Lagos à Escravos, dans le Delta du Niger, la région pétrolière du sud-est du Nigeria.

L'avion, dont le prix d'achat n'a pas été précisé, peut voler à seulement 200 pieds (environ 60 mètres) au-dessus de la mer et transmettre des informations à l'armée de l'air, qui peut dépêcher des avions de chasse si nécessaire, a expliqué le sergent Omotosho.

"Avec cet avion, nous pouvons repérer n'importe quel bateau à des centaines de kilomètres à la ronde, a déclaré le colonel Enobong Eneh Effiom. Notre objectif est de combattre toute forme de criminalité maritime dans le pays".

Le Nigeria a subi 31 attaques de pirates au large de ses côtes depuis le début de l'année, le plus mauvais bilan depuis 2008. Les pirates volent du pétrole, des marchandises, ou enlèvent des marins contre rançon.

Selon le Bureau maritime international, la piraterie maritime s'est nettement accru au large des côtes de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, représentant un cinquième du total des attaques dans le monde l'année dernière.

Nigerian Air Force acquiring AW101 helicopters

The Nigerian Air Force will soon take delivery of two AgustaWestland AW101 helicopters, which will be used for VIP transport duties.

One of the AW101s was seen at AgustaWestland’s facility in Yeovil, Somerset, in the United Kingdom painted in Nigerian Air Force (NAF) VIP colours. The aircraft will presumably be operated by the NAF’s 101 Presidential Air Fleet in Abuja, according to Air Forces Daily.

The Nigerian AW101s were originally scheduled to be delivered to the Indian Air Force, but the Indian contract was subsequently cancelled following allegations of bribery and corruption.

The NAF has been receiving a number of new aircraft recently and late last month took delivery of three Beechcraft King Air 350i light transport aircraft, which are operated by the 209 Executive Airlift Group (EAG) at Abuja-Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. The 209 EAG recently officially accepted an Mi-17-V5 helicopter, which had previously been operated by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) for search and rescue duties.

Furthermore, the Nigerian government has apparently ordered 40 helicopters for attack and transport duties from the United States and Russia. This Day said the helicopters could start arriving as early as this month and the remainder could arrive by the end of the year.

It was earlier reported that Nigeria is receiving two helicopter gunships, most likely Mi-35s. The Nigerian Budget Office this year allocated funds for six Mi-35M helicopters.

On a related note, the Nigerian Air Force’s Mil Mi-34C helicopters have been transferred to New Zealand. Between eight and 12 were delivered around 2002 for pilot training but had been withdrawn by 2011 due to gearbox issues. By December 2013, six of the original batch had arrived in New Zealand.

NIGERIAN AIR FORCE BEGIN TAKING DELIVERY OF STATE-OF-THE-ART Mi35M HELICOPTERS
(ABSOLUTE WORLD EXCLUSIVE PHOTO)

Armée Nigériane / Nigerian Armed Forces - Page 7 2188

In this one-of-a-kind photo which was shot on Friday 29th August, 2014 and posted originally and exclusively on BEEGEAGLE’S BLOG, a freshly delivered Mi-35M attack helicopter can be seen being unloaded from a giant Antonov cargo plane at a location in northern Nigeria (details withheld by me for security reasons). This is the only photo of this mean machine in cyberspace as I write this…a true global exclusive.

The roundel of the NAF is visible on this side towards the tail end and of course, it is the only MiL attack helicopter of the NAF thus far pictured in desert camouflage colour scheme. Its special adaptations are visible from here.

Congratulations to the NAF….Africa’s first PROVEN (not merely claiming) user of the Mi-35M.

Un avion de la Nigerian Air Force porté disparu

AFP 14/09/2014


Un avion de la Nigerian Air Force est porté disparu depuis 48 heures après avoir survolé l'extrême nord-est du pays, où l'armée combat les membres du groupe islamiste armé Boko Haram, a annoncé un porte-parole militaire dimanche.

L'avion, un Alpha Jet, avec deux pilotes à bord, avait quitté vendredi sa base de Yola, dans l'Etat d'Adamawa, vers 09H45, et devait regagner sa base vers midi le même jour.
"Depuis, tous les efforts pour établir un contact avec l'avion n'ont abouti à aucun résultat positif", a précisé le porte-parole, Chris Olukolade, dans un communiqué.

Des équipes de spécialistes et des secours tentent de localiser l'avion et d'entrer en contact avec l'équipage.
L'Alpha Jet est un avion de conception franco-allemande (Dassault-Breguet/Dornier), datant de 1970. L'appareil est conçu pour l'attaque au sol et l'entraînement.

L'avion a été construit à 512 exemplaires et est utilisé par une dizaine de pays, dont le Nigeria, le Cameroun, la Côte d'Ivoire et le Togo, selon le website du site du constructeur français Dassault.
Le porte-parole n'a pas précisé si l'avion porté disparu avait été utilisé contre les rebelles de Boko Haram, mais des habitants vivant à Yola et dans ses environs ont déclaré à l'AFP la semaine dernière que le nombre de survols aériens avait substantiellement augmenté.

Des habitants à Adamawa et dans l'Etat voisin de Borno ont également indiqué que des avions de combat avaient survolé la zone alors que l'armée nigériane annonçait le 11 septembre avoir lancé une offensive terrestre et aérienne pour reprendre le contrôle de la ville de Michika (nord-est) prise par le groupe islamiste Boko Haram.

Le groupe islamiste s'est emparé de plusieurs villes des Etats de Yobe, Borno et Adamawa, dans le nord-est, ces dernières semaines.
Boko Haram veut établir un califat, un Etat islamique rigoriste, dans le nord-est du Nigeria.
Les combattants de Boko Haram ont progressé de manière fulgurante depuis quelques semaines, infligeant une série de défaites à l'armée nigériane et s'emparant de nombreuses localités, où ils ont multiplié les massacres et exactions contre les civils.

Russia, Nigeria Sign Contract for Mi-171Sh, Mi-35 Helicopters

MOSCOW, September 12 (RIA Novosti) – Russia and Nigeria have signed a contract for the supply of Mi-171Sh and Mi-35 helicopters, Rosoboronexport deputy general director Sergei Goreslavsky told reporters Friday.

"The Mi-171Sh machine is in steady demand on the foreign market. A contract with Nigeria was recently signed," Goreslavsky said, commenting on the August contract. According to him, the helicopter is in demand in Africa, and Mozambique is very interested in the rotorcraft.

Rosoboronexport"s top manager said several Mi-35M"s will be also sent to Nigeria, without specifying the number of machines under the contract.

Developed from the Mi-8 airframe, the troop-carrying helicopters Mi-171Sh, with the Mi-8AMTSh version for the Russian market, are produced at the Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant. They can be fitted with missiles and air defense equipment.

The helicopter can carry up to 36 paratroopers or 12 injured on stretchers, and cargo weighing up to 4 tons inside the cabin and on its external sling. Mi-171Sh"s sent to Kazakhstan are equipped with flight navigation and radio communication equipment. The chopper was first deployed by the Russian Army in 2009.

Nigerian AW101 makes debut flight

By: Dominic Perry London


AgustaWestland on 19 September performed the maiden flight of the first of two VIP transport-roled AW101 helicopters for the Nigerian air force from its Yeovil manufacturing facility in Somerset.

Previously allocated to India as part of the nation's now-cancelled order for 12 of the 15t-class rotorcraft, the helicopter will eventually bear the registration NAF280.

Rick Ingham

Nigeria has also recently signed a deal with Russian Helicopters covering the acquisition of an unspecified number of Mil Mi-35 attack helicopters and Mi-171 transports. The deal follows the nation's previous introduction of second-hand examples of both Russian-produced types, in the Mi-24 and Mi-8 standards.

Local media reports have not included details on the precise number of new aircraft covered by the contract, but have referred to “a substantial amount”.

Des jihadistes du groupe Boko Haram ont décapité un pilote de la force aérienne nigériane  

Armée Nigériane / Nigerian Armed Forces - Page 7 1674

Il y a maintenant un mois, un Alpha Jet de la Force Aérienne Nigériane s'est écrasé dans l'extrême Nord-Est du Nigéria, alors que ce dernier, occupé par un pilote en place avant, ainsi qu'un second aviateur en place arrière, effectuait une "missions opérationnelle" contre les jihadistes du groupe Boko Haram, qui a installé un califat dans le Nord du Nigéria.

Bien que l'Etat Major Nigérian avait mené des recherches afin de reprendre contact avec l'aéronef, ces dernières se sont relevées infructueuses. De plus, Chris Olukolade, le porte-paroles de l'Etat Major Nigérian, n'avait pas indiqué si les pilotes de chasse participaient à une mission contre ce groupe jihadiste, ou si ils étaient en mission d'entraînement. Cependant, et selon l'AFP qui avait repris les témoignages d'habitants vivant dans le secteur de l'accident, "le nombre de survols aériens avait substantiellement augmenté".

Au début du mois d'Octobre, les réseaux sociaux ont fait circuler une photo où l'on pouvait croire y voir Abubakar Shekau, le chef du groupe jihadiste Boko Haram mort. Le porte-paroles de l'Etat Major Nigérian avait même confirmé cette information, où ce dernier expliquait que ce chef avait trouvé la mort lors d'un accrochage. Mais ce n'est pas la première fois que Abubakar Shekau est donné pour mort, c'est même la troisième fois, comme le rappelle le site Zone Militaire dans un de ses articles, en précisant que "Abubakar Shekau avait déjà été donné pour mort par les autorités nigérianes à deux reprises, en 2009 puis en 2013" et que le porte-paroles avait également indiqué que "l’homme tué à Konduga est « l’imitateur » du chef de Boko Haram, c’est à dire un « sosie » qui aurait pris sa place".

Le fait est, que le chef de Boko Haram est bien en vie, puisque ce dernier a publié une vidéo le 02 Octobre, où il explique être encore en vie, posant devant des pick-up, avec des soldats à ses côtés.

De plus, et c'est l'objet de cet article, la vidéo montre également, selon Associated Press, la carcasse d'un aéronef de la Force Aérienne Nigériane, ainsi que la décapitation d'un homme, qui se présente comme être le commandant d'un escadron. Ce dernier indique qu'il est "un pilote de l'armée de l'air nigériane. Le 11 Septembre, [il a] été affecté pour une mission à Kawuri, dans l'Etat de Borno. Pendant la mission [ils ont] été abattus et [leur] avion s'est écrasé". Il n'est pas possible de savoir si les jihadistes du groupe islamique ont réellement abattu l'Alpha Jet, ou si il a été victime d'un problème technique, mais la première option n'est vraiment pas à exclure. Il ajoute notamment qu'à "ce jour, [il] ne sais pas où est le deuxième pilote. [Il a] été pris en charge par Boko Haram, et au moment de l'accident, [il a été blessé]".

Niger buys "spy plane" to combat Sahel militants

Oct 22 (Reuters) - The government of Niger has purchased a reconnaissance plane as part of its effort to combat Islamist fighters and criminal gangs operating on its vast territory, the West African country's interior minister said on Wednesday.

Located in the arid Sahel band and with porous borders with Mali, Libya and Nigeria, smugglers and Islamic militants regularly crisscross Niger's sparsely inhabited territory.

French forces deployed in the country destroyed a convoy transporting weapons from Libya to Mali and captured fighters linked to al Qaeda earlier this month.

"We've bought and received shipment of a reconnaissance plane, a spy plane purchased with 7 billion CFA francs ($13.5 million) of our own funds," said Hassoumi Massaoudou, Niger's minister of the interior and public security.

Speaking on state-run radio, Masssaoudou declined to give further information of the type of plane or details of the purchase. He said it would be operated by Niger's intelligence service, the General Direction of Documentation and External Security.

The United States already operates unarmed surveillance drones in Niger, having deployed them after a French-led military operation in 2013 destroyed an al Qaeda enclave in neighbouring northern Mali.

Supported by some 120 U.S. military personnel, they operate from a base outside the capital Niamey, though Washington is considering moving the operation to Agadez, 750 km (460 miles) northeast of Niamey.

About 3,000 French troops are now operating out of Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad - countries straddling the vast Sahel band - with the aim of stamping out Islamist fighters across the region.

Paris is setting up a base in northern Niger as part of its new counter-terrorism operation.

China-built Naval Vessel for Nigeria Completes Sea Tests


Armée Nigériane / Nigerian Armed Forces - Page 7 F40268a7a6814896939d2f043ded9248

The first of two China-built offshore patrol vessels ordered by Nigeria has completed its sea tests and is ready to be delivered to Nigeria's navy.

China hopes that the export of the two OPV vessels can help open the West African market.

The vessel has a displacement of 1,800 tons and can sail as fast as 21 knots for up to 20 days.

A special ship-borne spilled oil recovery device could quickly respond to any oil spill emergency.

Zhu Xuejun, chief engineer of the offshore patrol vessel, elaborates.

"This is the device to recover spilled oil. The device could be lowered into sea by a crane, and it could then separate oil from water. Finally the separated oil is sucked into an oil container."

The vessel has taken a variety of rigorous tests including sharp turns with stability at high speed.

During the building process, Chinese engineers imparted a great deal of know-how and technological expertise to their Nigerian counterparts.

The second OPV vessel is expected to be partially built in Nigeria in an attempt to further enhance the country's shipbuilding capability.

Nigerian military confirm helicopter crash, says no casualty

The Nigerian military on Monday confirmed the crash of one of its helicopter in Damare, a suburb of Girei Local Government Area of Adamawa State.

The military spokesperson, Chris Olukolade, told PREMIUM TIMES, that a Nigerian Air force helicopter with call sign “Shark 23” on a training mission, executed a control force landing.

He said the force landing was made four minutes after take-off at the runway approach end of the Yola International Airport at 9.30 a.m.

“There is no casualty as all the crew members have been recovered back to base,” Mr. Olukolade, a Major General said. “The Nigerian Air force Headquarters have already set up an investigative panel to unravel the circumstances leading to the incident.”

Sources at the scene of the incident told PREMIUM TIMES five American soldiers were aboard the helicopter. The military said it had no information about any American in the crashed aircraft.

The sources said the aircraft – an American helicopter – was carrying some arms to be used in the counter insurgency operation.

A witness, Baba-Bale Habu, said he was outside his house when he heard a loud sound.

“Before then, I saw this helicopter moving like there is problem; I did not get close but when one of the occupants of the plane, a white man dressed in Army uniform came and requested for help. I called some people who were around and we helped to bring the others,” Mr. Habu said.

Mr. Habu said the soldiers sustained some injuries and were taken away from the scene of the incident in his car before an ambulance arrived and took them away.

“I saw some other helicopters coming to pick some things they did not allow us to get closer again, there was no death as at the time we assisted them to bring the other victims out,” he said.

When asked on the nationality of the crew members as narrated by the witnesses, Mr. Olukolade said that would be unravelled by investigations.

However, a spokesperson for the United States Embassy, Sani Mohammed, told PREMIUM TIMES he did not have information on the crashed helicopter.

“We have no information at the moment, once we get any information, we will pass it to you,” Mr. Mohammed said.

News of the helicopter crash came about two months after a Nigerian Air Force fighter jet, went missing during routine operations in the northern part of Adamawa State on September 12.

The aircraft, an Alpha Jet (NAF 466) was involved in the counter insurgency operation against the extremist Boko Haram sect.

The whereabouts of the missing Alpha Jet had become a subject of conjectures following the inability of the Nigeria Air Force to tell Nigerians what actually happened to the fighter jet.

Boko Haram insurgents later claimed shooting the aircraft down in a video in which they appeared to slaughter one of the pilots of the missing jet.

But last week, local fishermen claimed they found wreckages of the jet in the River Benue.

The fishermen said they found the aircraft at Kwa Ine Village, Demsa Local Government, about 50 kilometers away from Yola, the Adamawa state capital.

Nigerian Air Force Interested in Textron’s Scorpion Combat Jets


LONDON–The Nigerian air force is concerned that efforts to acquire new combat aircraft from Textron Inc.TXT +1.56% and AirLand Enterprises LLC to battle Boko Haram militants will be blocked over concerns about the country’s human rights record.
“We are really handicapped in attacking the enemy where we want,” Air Vice Marshal R.A. Ojuawo, the director of operations for the Nigerian air force, said Tuesday. “We need capabilities for a timely response.”
Nigeria has battled the Islamic insurgent group Boko Haram over control of the country’s northeast. Nigeria in recent days retook the area of Chibok, where the insurgents kidnapped nearly 300 schoolgirls in April.
The senior Nigerian air force officer expressed concern a deal could be blocked on human rights grounds after an earlier effort to acquire combat helicopters was blocked over the issue. The air force currently relies on a fleet of older jets, including Chinese-made F-7 planes and European Alpha Jets.
Textron, the largest maker of business aircraft, and AirLand have been marketing the Scorpion military jet as a low-cost option for many nations that can’t afford more traditional and expensive designs. The companies developed the aircraft on their own rather than relying on government funding, as is more traditional.
“We want this, we need this,” AVM Ojuawo said of the Scorpion jet. The country would initially look to acquire 12 jets to form one squadron. A formal request to buy the plane has not been made, though that could happen soon, he said.
Scorpion has been designed to cost less than $20 million per jet. The companies have said first deliveries could occur 18 months after they receive an order.
The battle with Boko Haram has led to more than 17,000 deaths since 2011, according to New York’s Council on Foreign Relations.
“These guys are armed to the teeth,” AVM Ojuawo said at DefenceIQ’s annual International Fighter conference here. Boko Haram forces are equipped with rockets and missiles and are funded by al Qaeda, he said.
AVM Ojuawo dismissed human rights concerns. He said bystanders harmed as part of the battle against insurgents shouldn’t be characterized as human rights abuses.
Nigeria also would be interested in arming surveillance planes to more quickly attack Boko Haram forces when they are spotted, he said.

P18N Offshore Patrol Vessel

In April 2012, Nigeria signed a contract with China to build two P18N OPVs. Under the contract, the lead ship was to be built in Wuhan with construction starting in October 2012, while the second unit is expected to be partially built in Nigeria..

At AAD 2014, defense show that took place in September this year in South Africa, a representative from CSOC gave us the following specifications:
P18N Offshore Patrol Vessels have a displacement of 1,700 tons, a length of 95 m, width of 12.2 m and beam of 3.5 m. It is powered by two MTU 20V 4000M diesel engines. The maximum speed is 21 knots. The endurance of the vessel is 20 days at sea (range 3000 nautical miles at 14 knots) for a crew of 70 sailors.

Sensors include:
- TR47 Tracking Radar
- SR60 Surveillance Radar
- Navigation radar (of chinese origin)
- PJ46 Decoy launchers
- 2x communication antennas under radomes
- UHF/VHF radios
The class is not fitted with sonars.

The Combat Management Systems (CMS) was developped by the Wuhan Digital Engineering Institute.

These OPVs are fitted with a H/PJ26 76mm main gun mount and two H/PJ14 30mm gun mounts. The class may accomodate a Z- 9 helicopter thanks to its helipad. Only rotary UAVs may fit inside the hangar space however.

IDEAS 2014: Nigeria 'close to signing up' for JF-17

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is close to finalising an order for the purchase of one or two squadrons of the JF-17 Thunder fighter aircraft co-produced by Pakistan and China, a senior Pakistani Ministry of Defence official told IHS Jane's on 2 December.

Speaking at the International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS) 2014 in Karachi, the official said the NAF finalised its recommendation for the purchase of 25-40 JF-17s after NAF chief air marshal Adesola Nunayon Amosu visited Pakistan in October. AM Amosu's engagements in Pakistan included a visit to the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) at Kamra, north of Islamabad, where the JF-17 is manufactured.

So far, the PAC has produced 50 Block 1 JF-17s and began work on another 50 Block 2 variants in late 2013. Pakistan Air Force (PAF) officials have told IHS Jane's that a Block 3 variant is being planned. While the JF-17 has PAF capability plans, it has so far failed to find an export customer.
COMMENT

PAF officials have described the JF-17 Block 3 as a fourth-generation-plus fighter, a term that is used to describe Western aircraft such as Lockheed Martin F-16 Block 60s, the Saab Gripen, Eurofighter Typhoon, and Dassault Rafale, among others.

Western officials have previously said that a first successful export of the JF-17 holds the key for the programme's long-term sustainment. Potential export customers mentioned as likely candidates for the JF-17 have included Egypt, Nigeria, Myanmar, and Venezuela.

Senior PAF officials have promoted the JF-17 as costing much less than comparable fighters produced by Western manufacturers. However, prospective customers are likely to consider established manufacturers ahead of PAC, which is a relative newcomer to the international market.

Le Nigéria ne veut plus de formation militaire américaine

Posté dans Non classé par Laurent Lagneau Le 04-12-2014


Armée Nigériane / Nigerian Armed Forces - Page 7 115

Face à Boko Haram, ce n’est pas peu dire que les forces armées nigérianes sont à la peine. Voire même en difficulté. L’organisation jihadiste, dirigée par Abubakar Shekau, multiplie les attaques dans le nord du Nigéria, comme encore ce 4 décembre, avec deux nouveaux assauts lancés contre les villes de Bajoga et d’Ashaka. Et cela n’est pas sans conséquences pour les pays voisins, à commencer par le Cameroun et le Niger, où l’on craint l’infiltration d’éléments terroristes.

Pourtant, et aussi surprenant que cela puisse paraître, Abuja a décidé de se passer de l’aide militaire américaine, laquelle consistait à former un bataillon de l’armée nigériane afin de lui donner les capacités nécessaires pour combattre Boko Haram, dont l’intention est d’instaurer un califat sur les territoires qu’il a conquis.

Aucune raison n’a été avancée pour expliquer cette décision, alors même que Washington avait pris le soin de contourner la loi Leahy, laquelle interdit toute formation à des unités militaires ayant été coupables de violations des droits de l’homme sur des civils. Or, l’armée nigériane, sur ce plan là, est loin d’être irréprochable…

Cela étant, il y a eu quelques frictions entre Abuja et Washington au cours de ces dernière semaines. Ainsi, l’ambassadeur nigérian aux États-Unis avait critiqué les autorités américaines pour leur refus de vendre des armes à son pays (il était question d’hélicoptères d’attaque Cobra). Ces dernières répondirent que le Nigeria n’avait pas les moyens de les mettre en oeuvre tout enmettant en avant les exactions répétées commises par les soldats nigérians.

Mais les réticences américaines s’expliquent également par la corruption qui gangrène les forces armées nigérianes. Même si elles bénéficient d’un budget de près de 5 milliards de dollars (20% des dépenses de l’État), ses soldats sont mal équipés, voire même moins bien que les terroristes qu’ils doivent combattre. Cet été, des cas de mutinerie ont ainsi été rapportés.

Quoi qu’il en soit, et selon The Daily Telegraph, Abuja se serait tourné vers Londres pour obtenir une aide militaire. Le ministère britannique de la Défense (MoD) plancherait actuellement sur des plans visant à envoyer dans ce pays des dizaines d’instructeurs supplémentaires. « Il y a un débat interne sur ce que nous pourrions faire et ce que nous voudrions faire », a expliqué une source au quotidien.

Nigerian Navy Takes Delivery Of New Warship ‘NNS OKPABANA’

Receiving the vessel in Lagos, the Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Usman Jibrin, said the addition of the vessel would boost the navy’s war against maritime crimes.

According to him, OKPABANA was the second of the Hamilton class of cutters to join the NN fleet between 2014 and 2014.

“It is worthy of note to state that the successes recorded by NNS THUNDER in curtailing threats in our maritime domain and the larger Gulf of Guinea region, with the confidence reposed in our country by the USA that made it possible to acquire NNS OKPABANA.

“The addition of this ship into the NN fleet will certainly bolster our zeal to end the menace in our maritime domain and the region, as well as support the regional and global effort to eliminate transnational maritime threats.

“This nation has always requested the navy to do more and with this, the government recognises that there must be needed platform for the navy to do its job well.

“The present government headed by President Goodluck Jonathan took the recapitalisation of fleets as a huge challenge and has invested huge funds through the acquisition of two Off-Shore Patrol Vessels (OPV) from China and this one from USA.

“It is hoped that by the time we take delivery of all, the NN will be better for it”, Jibrin said.

He said: “For us to be able to do effective maintenance, it is better to co-locate the two ships (OKPABANA and THUNDER) in the same command.

“However, deployment should be based on threat perception. If they are closely related and are operating about the same area, our maintenance team can be co-located where they are and sourcing for spares will be easier.

“We have opened a maintenance channel with the American government such that we can always source for spares.

“Apart from that, our maintenance that has been working onboard THUNDER will be maintained for OKPABANA and we will continue to maintain the channel of spare sourcing to avoid what happened to ARADU”, Jibrin explained.

On the partnership between Nigerian and China on the upgrading of the Port Harcourt shipyard, the naval chief said the Chinese team was expected to be in Nigeria by the first quarter of this year.

Jibrin said the second locally built ship has been lunched (lowered into the water), adding that the engineering team would proceed with the fittings and installations of all ancillaries.

He said once that was done, the ship would be put to sea, adding: “NNS ARADU is not the first ship built for Nigeria. All our ships before now were built for NN and to our specification.

“It is because we want to quickly meet with the yearnings of Nigerians that we went into acquisition of these ships.

“A ship is not something you can buy off the shelf. It has gestation period from acquisition to take off. It took us four years for ARADU to be constructed, but these ones we are bringing from China took two years.

“But for the fact that we decided that the second one will be completed at the Naval shipyard, the second one would have also been completed by June”, Jibrin said.

In his remark, the US Ambassador, James Entwinstle, said both countries were interested in a peaceful, well policed Gulf of Guinea, saying the US support has significantly increased Nigeria’s ability to reach the shared goal.

Entwinstle, who was represented by the US Consul General, Jeffery Hawkins, said most of Nigeria’s security problems come from the sea.

“Many of the regions’ security challenges come from the sea, and this powerful new naval platform will enhance Nigeria’s ability to control the maritime environment.

“OKPABANA is the first Nigerian vessel to have a Regional Maritime Awareness Capability (R-Mack) system on board.

“This system will link back to the NN wider R-Mack network and expand NN’s ability to track and identify vessels throughout the Gulf of Guinea”, he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports the vessel was formerly a United States of America (USA) Coastguard GALLATIN.

Although the ship was donated to NN by the US government, the navy spent about 8.5 million dollars in refurbishing the vessel and emplacing its armaments.

Designed as a high endurance cutter, OKPABANA has a crossing range of 9,600 nautical miles, which is translated at 17,800km at 20 knots.

The ship also has an 80 foot flight deck that is capable of handling helicopters which of course make her an ideal platform for extended patrol mission, as well as a crew capacity of 170 personnel. (NAN)

China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation Launched Corvette for Bangladesh and OPV for Nigeria


A new corvette ordered by the Bangladesh Navy was launched on November 30th at the China Shipbuilding & Offshore International Company (CSOC)'s Wuchang Shipyard in Wuhan, China. CSOC is part of the part of the State Shipbuilding Corporation, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC). Bangladesh's first corvette (based on the Chinese Navy Type 056 Corvette) was launched in November 2014 while the first OPV was delivered to Nigeria on November 27th.

The second Corvette ordered by the Bangladesh Navy and second Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) ordered by Nigeria were launched last week at the China Shipbuilding & Offshore International Company (CSOC)'s Wuchang Shipyard in Wuhan, China. CSOC is part of the part of the State Shipbuilding Corporation, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC).
Bangladesh Navy second corvette ( Shadhinota class based on Type 056 Jiangdao class) on the right and Nigeria Navy second OPV on the left, both in the water at the Wuchang Shipyard in Wuhan, China in January 2015.

Bangladesh Shadhinota class corvette retains most of the sensor and weapon systems found on board Chinese Navy Type 056 corvettes:
» 4x C-803 (export version of YJ-83) Anti-ship missiles (2 launchers with 2 missiles each)
» 1x FL-3000N (export version of AJK-10 / HQ-10) Surface to air missile launcher (8x missiles)
» 1x H/PJ-26 76mm main gun (similar to Russian AK-176)
» 2x H/PJ-17 30mm dual mode (auto/manual) remote controlled naval turret
The Bangladesh Navy corvette however will be fitted with one Type 730 CIWS and two Type 3200 ASW rocket launchers will replace the two triple torpedo launchers

Nigeria's P18N OPVs are fitted with a H/PJ26 76mm main gun mount and two H/PJ14 30mm gun mounts. The class may accomodate a Z- 9 helicopter thanks to its helipad. Only rotary UAVs may fit inside the hangar space however.

Analysis: Nigeria reportedly takes delivery of 'Super Hinds'

Armée Nigériane / Nigerian Armed Forces - Page 7 1369949_-_main

Nigeria has reportedly acquired two upgraded Mi-24 'Super Hind' attack helicopters
The upgrade appears to have been carried out in Ukraine, not by a South African company as claimed

Nigeria is so desperate for attack helicopters to support counter-insurgency operations that it has ordered new Mil Mi-35Ms from Russia; bought at least one more used Mi-24 from Ukraine, tried - and failed - to acquire surplus Bell AH-1 Cobras; and has recently taken delivery of two Mi-35Ps that have been upgraded into 'Super Hinds' by a South African company, according to a Nigerian defence blog.

The Beegeagle's Blog supported its claim by publishing a photograph on 2 January showing two Mi-24/35 helicopters, one of which had clearly been upgraded. However, no country markings can be seen on the aircraft and their two-tone desert camouflage is similar to one used by several air forces, including Nigeria's.

The upgrade consists of a reconfigured nose section to accommodate a new 20 mm gun (either a Nexter M693/F2 or the version license-built by South Africa's Denel) and an electro-optical turret: a very similar package to the one that South Africa's Advanced Technologies and Engineering (ATE) fitted to Algeria Mi-24s around the turn of the century.

Designed to improve the helicopter's firepower and ability to operate at night and in adverse weather conditions, the ATE upgrade also included new avionics and the integration of Denel Ingwe laser-guided missiles.

However, the Paramount Group, which took over ATE in 2013 and renamed it Paramount Advanced Technologies, told IHS Jane's that it has not been involved in upgrading any helicopters for Nigeria.

Footage broadcast on Ukraine's Sumy TV in October 2014 prompted speculation that the upgrade was carried out in that country rather than South Africa. It showed a Mi-24 fitted with the same nose section being worked on at Ukraine's Konotop Aircraft Repair Plant.

Meanwhile, Ukraine's Izyum Instrument Plant has suggested that it might be providing optics for the upgraded helicopters by using a photograph of one of the ATE Mi-24s next to an image of its PN-B laser designator. The ATE version was fitted with a Denel Optronics Argos electro-optical system.

The PN-B could be used in conjunction with Ukrainian-made weapons, such as the Bar'er-V anti-tank missile or AR-8L guided rocket.

Nigeria's apparent acquisition of at least one unmodified Ukrainian Mi-24 was revealed by a photography taken by an aviation enthusiast near Kiev in December. It showed a Mi-24 with a Nigerian Air Force roundel and the previously unseen serial number NAF 261 in flight.

A Russian military-diplomatic source told IHS Jane's in September 2014 that Nigeria has ordered six Mi-35Ms, as well as 12 Mi-171Sh transport helicopters.

The State Department confirmed in November that the United States had blocked the transfer of AH-1 Cobras to Nigeria due to concerns that about the Nigeria military's ability to maintain the helicopters and its human rights record. A Nigerian newspaper reported that the helicopters would have come from Israel, which retired its last AH-1s in 2013 for budgetary reasons.

The only Nigerian attack helicopter acquisitions reported to the UN Register of Conventional Arms in the last decade were three Mi-24s from Ukraine in 2008 and two more from Belarus in 2010.

Pauvre Nigeria déjà que la première puissance d'Afrique vit sa "sale guerre" comme son alliée du Nord.

Ils demandent des AH-1 Cobra au USA, ils se sont fait dégager, vu qu'on a pas oublier les méthodes de l'armée nigérienne, lors du Biafra, du Libéria, etc...et qui sont toujours en cours chez eux...

Ben ils sont partit justement demandé au Israélien (qu'ils ont soutenus contre la Palestine à l'ONU) des AH-1 Cobra, et la encore pas de chance : Veto Américain.

Veto américain sur une vente d'hélicoptères par Israël au Nigeria

Boko Haram poursuit son avancée et s'empare de la ville de Monguno et de sa base militaire

Selon le journal Haaretz, le ministère israélien de la Défense aurait prévu de vendre au Nigéria des hélicoptères Cobra, de fabrication américaine, qui ont été retirés du service de l'armée de l'air israélienne, mais les Etats-Unis auraient empêché la transaction par crainte que des civils soient les victimes de l'usage de ces appareils s'ils étaient utilisés dans ce pays d'Afrique.

En 2013, rapporte le Haaretz, l'aviation de Tsahal a retiré ses hélicoptères Cobra après 30 ans de bons et loyaux services. Le ministère de la Défense a entrepris de vendre ces appareils. Parmi les pays intéressés au rachat figurait le Nigeria et pourtant, en dépit des négociations avancées, Ie contrat n'a pu être signé entre Jérusalem et Lagos en raison du veto de Washington.

Le ministère de la Défense, contacté par Haaretz, n'a pas souhaité réagir.

Mais le New York Times rapportait à la fin du mois de décembre que les Américains avaient bloqué la transaction par crainte de l'incapacité du Nigeria à entretenir ces appareils et à les utiliser contre Boko Haram sans faire de dégâts collatéraux qu sein de la population civile.

Le veto américain a provoqué de nouvelles tensions entre Washington et Lagos. Les Etats-Unis sont mécontents de la manière dont le Nigeria lutte contre la secte islamiste de Boko Haram.


Israël a augmenté de manière significative en 2013 ses ventes d'armes aux pays africains. Le ministère de la Défense indique que 2013 a été une année record puisque Jérusalem a vendu aux pays africains pour 210 millions d'euros d'armes et de technologie militaire alors que durant les 4 années précédentes le volume annuel était situé entre 63 et 107 millions d'euros.

Selon une source du ministère israélien de la Défense, un autre pays africain pourrait être intéressé à l'acquisition des hélicoptères qui pourraient être mis à niveau.

Mais au ministère on précise: "Le ministère a pour règle de ne pas commenter les ventes d'armes à l'étranger".

Boko Haram s'empare de la ville de Monguno et de sa base militaire

Par ailleurs, on apprenait dimanche soir de sources sécuritaires que les islamistes de Boko Haram ont pris dimanche le contrôle de la ville de Monguno et de sa base militaire, proches du lac Tchad dans le nord-est du pays, après de violents combats contre l'armée nigériane.

«Monguno est tombée, Monguno est tombée», a déclaré à l'AFP un haut responsable militaire sous couvert d'anonymat. «Nous les avons affrontés toute la nuit mais ils ont réussi à prendre la ville, y compris les casernes militaires», a-t-il assuré.

Une autre source sécuritaire a confirmé que les islamistes s'étaient emparés de la ville, située à quelque 130 km au nord-est de Maiduguri, la capitale de l'Etat de Borno, elle-même théâtre de combats dimanche. "C'est vrai, nos troupes ont perdu la ville de Monguno face à Boko Haram. (...) Nos troupes ont dû se retirer après voir combattu les terroristes pendant plusieurs heures. Ils sont arrivés en force et finalement ont dominé nos hommes", a précisé cette source, ajoutant que l'armée nigériane voulait reprendre rapidement la ville.

"Nous craignons que les familles de nos soldats ne soient restées bloquées dans les casernes, et évidemment les habitants de la ville, hommes, femmes et enfants, doivent être sauvés", a déclaré ce militaire. "Nous avons aussi de l'équipement de combat là-bas et il serait dangereux qu'il tombe aux mains des terroristes", a-t-il ajouté. Des centaines de membres de Boko Haram ont attaqué la ville de Monguno avant l'aube, provoquant la fuite de milliers d'habitants terrifiés.

Des experts considèrent que la prise de Monguno constitue un pas de plus des insurgés dans leur avancée depuis les zones reculées du nord-est passées sous leur contrôle au cours des derniers mois. Monguno avait déjà subi le feu du groupe islamiste en mars 2013 et septembre 2014.

(i24 avec AFP)

ps : si les Israéliens ont des Cobra a revendre, je connais un pays qui en grandement besoin et qui ne risque pas d'avoir de veto américain.
