Nigerian Air Force commissions second Bell 412 into service


Written by defenceWeb, Monday, 22 January 2018


Armée Nigériane / Nigerian Armed Forces - Page 13 83g62

A Nigerian Air Force Bell 412.The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has commissioned into service the second and final Bell 412 helicopter previously impounded by customs, and reactivated a machine tools workshop.

The helicopter was commissioned in a ceremony on 19 January, Air Vice Marshal Olatokunbo Adesanya, NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, said in a statement.

As with the first helicopter, which was inducted into service on 1 November 2017, the aircraft’s major systems and its surveillance cameras had to be sent to the United States and Canada for overhaul and repair to be restored to airworthiness, having been in containers for about two years as at the time of the handover. The helicopter’s major systems were later reassembled at the NAF’s 631 Aircraft Maintenance Depot (ACMD) Ikeja by a combined team of foreign experts as well as NAF engineers and technicians.

The two helicopters were handed over to the NAF on 27 January 2017 after they were seized on 7 November 2016 when the importer could not produce end user certificates. They were originally destined for Rivers State to protect oil and gas facilities and were equipped with night vision equipment, armour plating and cameras. They were supposed to bypass import duties. The new helicopter will be deployed to the Northeast as part of the efforts to strengthen the counterterrorism campaign against Boko Haram.

Also on 19 January the NAF commissioned the newly reactivated Machine Tools Workshop at 631 ACMD. According to the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, the reactivation of the workshop, which was effectively operated last in the early 1980s, is in line with his vision of building the required capacity in the NAF. According to him, that is why the NAF had reactivated a similar workshop at 131 Engineering Group in Makurdi while another at 431 Engineering Group in Kaduna was being reactivated. H

The workshop was reactivated by NAF personnel in partnership with experts from the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID). Abubakar added that the reactivation was accomplished at a minimal cost compared with millions of dollars being quoted by foreign vendors.

20 NAF personnel have been nominated for the Intermediate Machine Tools Course to operate and maintain the equipment in the workshop. Abubakar said the reactivated machines could be used for structural repairs on the C-130 and the fabrication of some tools required for the day-to-day maintenance of the C-130.

Abubakar and General Gabriel Olonisakin, the Chief of Defense Staff (CDS), alongside other dignitaries, later inspected the ongoing Periodic Depot Maintenance (PDM) of a C-130H at 631 ACMD Ikeja. The PDM is being facilitated by experts from Sabena Technics of France who are working with NAF engineers and technicians, as part of efforts at technical capacity building in the NAF.

“It is noteworthy that the decision to conduct the PDM locally has resulted in huge cost saving for the NAF. This is because freight costs, payment of estacode allowance, exorbitant overseas labour costs and other costs associated with ferrying the aircraft for PDM overseas, have been eliminated,” the NAF said.

Armée Nigériane / Nigerian Armed Forces - Page 13 A1846110


“Nigeria to protest US conditions on $494 million purchase of Super Tucanos
Written by Reuters, Friday, 26 January 2018
Nigeria will protest to the United States over conditions imposed on its planned $494 million (£345.6 million) purchase of 12 A-29 Super Tucano aircraft, Defence Minister Mansur Dan Ali said on Thursday.

Those conditions include the 2020 transfer date for the aircraft and that Nigerian technicians will not be trained by U.S. staff, be part of maintenance crews, nor can they study the production of the planes, he told reporters at a briefing in Abuja.

The sale of the planes has been dogged by controversy. Under Barack Obama, the former U.S. president, the aircraft deal had been held off due to concerns about the Nigerian military’s human rights abuses. In one instance, up to 170 people died last January after the air force bombed a refugee camp in the northeastern town of Rann.

But President Donald Trump’s administration approved the sale to support Nigeria’s efforts to fight Boko Haram militants and to boost U.S. defence jobs, sources told Reuters last April. In December, Nigeria’s air force said the deal had been formally agreed.

Dan Ali did not say whether the disagreement over the conditions would affect the air force’s Feb. 20 target for the final agreements to be signed and initial payments made.


“These conditions we will not accept,” he said.

“(Nigeria‘s) security council has approved the purchase of the aircrafts but some of the conditions America gave us are stringent. We will discuss reducing the conditions with the American ambassador, (and) payments will be made when the conditions are reduced.”

A spokesman for the U.S. embassy in Abuja did not immediately respond to phone calls or an email seeking comment.

The sale of the 12 aircraft, with weapons and service, includes thousands of bombs and rockets.

The propeller-driven plane with reconnaissance, surveillance and attack capabilities, is made by Brazil’s Embraer. A second production line is in Florida, in a partnership between Embraer and privately held Sierra Nevada Corp of Sparks, Nevada.

The Super Tucano costs more than $10 million each and the price can go much higher depending on the configuration. It is powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT 6 engine.”

Nigerian Air Force unveils new indigenous UAV

Written by Guy Martin, Friday, 16 February 2018


Armée Nigériane / Nigerian Armed Forces - Page 13 22715

The Tsaigumi UAV.The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has unveiled a new indigenously produced unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the Tsaigumi, which will be used to enhance the NAF’s Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities.

The aircraft was unveiled in a ceremony on 15 February attended by President Muhammadu Buhari, who said “this outstanding accomplishment holds promise of both military and economic benefits to the nation. From the military perspective, the added capacity for ISR provided by Tsaigumi UAV would undoubtedly boost ongoing and future security operations”. He said series production would create employment and generate export revenue.

The Tsaigumi UAV was produced by NAF aerospace engineers in collaboration with UAVision of Portugal. Capable of day and night operations, it has an operational endurance in excess of 10 hours, a service ceiling of 15 000 feet and a mission radius of 100 km. It has a maximum take-off weight of 95 kg and its payload is an electro-optic/infra-red camera system.

The Nigerian Air Force on 4 October 2016 signed a memorandum of understanding with UAVision regarding the production of UAVs in Nigeria. At the time the NAF said the collaboration would lead to the production of four UAV prototypes with two each produced in Nigeria and Portugal.

Air Vice Marshal Olatokunbo Adesanya, Director of Public Relations and Information of the NAF, said on Thursday the Tsaigumi UAV could be used for many tasks, such as ISR, policing, disaster management, convoy protection, maritime patrol, pipeline and power line monitoring as well as mapping and border patrol duties. In addition, it could be deployed for the protection of wildlife, weather forecast and telecast. Additionally, in the maritime domain, the Tsaigumi UAV could be used for search and rescue, coastal monitoring and patrol of Nigeria’s Exclusive Economic Zone.

Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, the Executive Governor of Kaduna State, said his state was willing and ready to procure the Tsaigumi from the NAF, once available.

Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, said the NAF would develop another UAV, called Ichoku, which would be Nigeria’s first indigenous unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV).

The NAF said the Tsaigumi UAV is a much more advanced and operationally ready version of the earlier Amebo and Gulma prototype UAVs. The indigenously produced Gulma was unveiled in December 2013 and was produced by the Nigerian Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) with the help of aerospace engineers from Cranfield University in Britain. Since 2007, the British institution partnered the AFTI as part of the Nigerian government's bid to develop an in-house capacity for advanced aviation design, research and development.

Nigeria has previously relied on foreign UAVs, and acquired nine Aerostars from Israel’s Aeronautics Defence Systems (ADS) between 2006 and 2007 and several armed CH-3 UAVs from China, which have been used against Boko Haram militants.

After Buhari unveiled the Tsaigumi he also examined other NAF research and development projects, including a Hind helicopter hydraulic accumulator diaphragm, aviation power pack, unmanned ground vehicle and F4 rocket launcher heat shield cone.

Also on display was a mockup/fuselage component of the NAFSA Eagle eight passenger multirole aircraft. The NAF said it was locally designed and is being manufactured at the Air Force Research and Development Centre to fulfil a variety of roles in the NAF.

It is being developed in partnership with US manufacturer Comp Air Aviation after an agreement was signed in January 2017 with the NAF. Comp Air Aviation (formerly Aerocomp) is based in Florida and specialises in the production of a family of composite kit-built aircraft ranging in size from four to ten seats and powered by engines from 180 to 1 880 hp.

Nigerian Navy to receive two more Ocea patrol boats

Written by defenceWeb, Friday, 09 March 2018


Armée Nigériane / Nigerian Armed Forces - Page 13 23346

The NNS Nguru.The Nigerian Navy will soon receive two new FPB 110 patrol boats from France’s Ocea, which has completed sea trials of the vessels and will load them onto a freighter for Nigeria.

The vessels are expected to depart Saint-Nazaire, France, later this month, according to Mer et Marine.

In February 2017 it emerged that Nigeria had ordered two FPB 110 Mk II coastal patrol vessels. They are 35 metres long and have a maximum speed of 30 knots. They will be fitted with two 12.7 mm machineguns and a 20 mm cannon and a 4.7 metre long Zodiac rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RHIB). The weapons will be added in Nigeria. Other equipment includes two Furuno radars and a Vigy Observer electro-optical system.

Nigeria’s FPB 110s are based on the models produced for Kuwait, but are driven by propellers and not water jets. They are apparently also more comfortable for the crew, with improved accommodation. The two vessels, Nguru and Ekulu, can accommodate 17 people, including a dozen crew members.

The boats are powered by two MTU 16V2000 diesel engines giving a top speed of 30 knots and a range of 900 miles with 3-5 day endurance.

Once delivered, they will be used to improve maritime security off Nigeria, with an emphasis on piracy and maritime crime.

Ocea has delivered a number of other vessels to Nigeria, including three 24 metre long FPB 72s in 2012 and a 32 metre FPB 98 Mk II in 2013. Five FPB 72s have been ordered, with two, the Gongola and Calabar, delivered to Nigeria in January this year after the Shiroro and Ose arrived in 2017. The final FPB 72 will be delivered along with the two FPB 110s.

Russia delivered jets, tanks and missiles to Africa in 2017
Written by defenceWeb, Wednesday, 14 March 2018
During 2017 Russia exported some $15 billion worth of weapons around the world. This included African nations, which received an array of equipment from fighter jets to ballistic missiles – Africa accounted for 13% of Russian arms sales over the last five years.

According to Russia’s Kommersant newspaper, and confirmed at a meeting of the Commission for Military-Technical Cooperation with Foreign States on 5 March, Russia in 2017 received orders for $16 billion worth of defence equipment, bringing Russia’s order book to $45 billion. Most equipment went to China, India and Vietnam, which ordered helicopters, engines, and vessels.

A number of African countries took delivery of military hardware from Russia last year, such as long-time customer Algeria. It received the last six of 14 Su-30MKA fighters; six more Mi-28NE attack helicopters (42 were ordered in 2013) and T-90SA tanks (out of an order for 200).

Although not mentioned by the Commission for Military-Technical Cooperation, Algeria has also recently acquired TOS-1 rocket launchers and Buk-M2E surface-to-air missiles and ordered BMPT Terminator tank support vehicles from Russia, while it is expecting delivery of Kilo class submarines.

Algeria’s receipt of four Iskander-E short range ballistic missiles was confirmed. The system has a range of around 300 km with a 480 kg warhead (fragmentation, blast fragmentation or penetration warheads). Each launch vehicle carries two missiles and each missile regiment includes around thirty vehicles (launchers, loaders, command, logistics vehicles etc.). Algeria is the second export customer for the system after Armenia.

Egypt is another important African customer, and in 2017 began receiving the first of 46 MiG-29M/M2 fighters that were ordered in December 2015 – 15 were delivered last year. Egypt also received 19 Ka-52 attack helicopters, out of an order for 46 for the Egyptian Air Force. The country has yet to decide on ordering the navalised Ka-52K for the Egyptian Navy’s Mistral class landing helicopter docks (LHDs).

Although not mentioned by the Commission, Russia last year also began delivering S-300VM missiles to Egypt and AT-9 and AT-16 anti-tank missiles for its Ka-52s. It has expressed interest in T-90 tanks and Buyan class corvettes.

Other deliveries to the continent in 2017 included a single Mi-17V-5 to Kenya (for its police); two Mi-35Ms to Nigeria (out of 12 ordered in September 2015); two Mi-35Ms to Mali (apparently two more are on order for delivery by 2019) and the first of 18 refurbished Su-30Ks to Angola (originally the order was for 12 but another six ex-Indian Air Force examples have been added).

Another contract that was confirmed was for two Pantsyr-S1 (SA-22 Greyhound) air defence systems for Equatorial Guinea. This is armed with twelve 57E6 surface-to-air guided missiles and two 2A38M30-millimetre automatic guns developed from the two-barreled 30mm GSh-30 gun.

Not mentioned by the Commission was an order announced in August last year for two Mi-171Sh armed helicopters for Burkina Faso’s military.

According to Kommersant, Russia expects its 2018 order book to be roughly the same as last year, although possibly a bit lighter due to American sanctions.

"Russia matches high standards and confirms its status of one of the leading providers on the world weapons market," Russian President Vladimir Putin said last week. "The scope of our military-technical cooperation keeps growing in geographic terms steadily. The number of partners has already exceeded one hundred countries."

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Russia is the second largest arms exporter after the United States, with a 22% share of the market between 2013 and 2017, compared to the US share of 34%. Third on the list is France with a 6.7% share.

Russian exports of major weapons decreased by 7.1% between 2008–12 and 2013–17, SIPRI said. “The fall was largely due to reductions in deliveries to some of its main recipients. Deliveries to Algeria and China, for example, continued throughout 2013–17 but were at lower levels than the previous five-year period. Weapons remain on order from Russia for both countries. In addition, while Russia made significant deliveries to Venezuela in 2013, deliveries dropped to nil for the period 2015–17.

“Russia has fewer arms export destinations than the USA. In 2013–17 Russia delivered major weapons to 47 states and to rebel forces in Ukraine. A total of 58% of Russia’s arms exports went to its top three recipients in 2013–17: India, China and Vietnam accounted for 35, 12 and 10%, respectively. At the regional level, Asia and Oceania accounted for 66% of Russian arms exports in 2013–17, Africa for 13%, the Middle East for 11%, Europe for 6.2% and the Americas for 4.2%,” SIPRI said.”

“Germany donates patrol boats to Nigeria
Written by defenceWeb, Friday, 16 March 2018
Germany has donated five patrol boats to the Nigerian Navy, which will use them to patrol Lake Chad.

The boats were handed over on 13 March by Consul General of the German Embassy, Ingo Herbert, to Chief of Logistics, Naval Headquarters, Rear Admiral James Oluwole at Onne, Rivers State.

Herbert said the boats would be used to combat insurgency – Boko Haram terrorists have previously staged attacks in the vicinity of Lake Chad and have largely managed to elude Nigerian military patrols.

“The five boats are part of the greater initiatives of Germany in enhancing the peace and security of partner governments. The focus is to support partner countries in the fight against terrorism,” Herbert is quoted by This Day as saying. “These boats will not only primarily contribute in your fight in the North-east, but also to fight illegal fishing, oil theft and other maritime crimes.

“Especially when you consider how important the maritime traffic is, with more than 90% of all growth worldwide really using maritime to reach their goals, it is very important to keep the maritime environment free of criminal elements.

“A very important aspect of this donation is that the boats are built in Nigeria. So it is actually a co-operation and has full local content.”

The five boats were built by Nigeria’s Epenal Group shipyard in Port Harcourt. They are 8.2 metres long and have a glass-reinforced plastic hull able to accommodate up to seven people. They are powered by two 250 hp Yamaha outboard engines and armed with 12.7 mm machineguns and automatic grenade launchers. Top speed is 35-40 knots.

Epenal has delivered a number of boats to the Nigerian Navy – 60 of the 8.2 metre boats have been delivered over the last year, and Epenal delivered 16 refurbished boats to eh Navy in November 2017.

After the boats were handed over, German officials were taken through some of the creeks in the Niger Delta, during which Nigerian Navy personnel arrested five suspected oil thieves and boats loaded with illegally refined fuel.

“I am glad that the German Government through the donation we made today to the Nigerian Navy could assist the Nigerian Government to deal with this kind of situations. I saw the vast area, the challenges with regard to the ecological system, to the people and the challenge to restore the Rule of Law and security. I appreciate the efforts of the Nigerian Navy,” Herbert said.”

“Infantry Weapons
Nigeria to manufacture Polish assault rifles
Remigiusz Wilk, Warsaw - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
28 March 2018

The Polish Armaments Group (PGZ) holding company and Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON) signed a letter of intent on 26 March covering the production of Beryl M762 assault rifles in Nigeria, the rifle’s manufacturer Fabryka Broni announced.
Signed by PGZ president Jakub Skiba and DICON director general Major General Bamidele Ogunkale, the memorandum determines three phases of technology transfer: initial assembling, partial manufacturing, and finally full production of the assault rifles at the Ordnance Factory Complex in Kaduna.
It was not announced how many rifles will be produced in Nigeria.
Nigeria’s 2017 federal budget proposal allocated NGN364 million (USD1 million) and NGN390 million respectively to establish production lines for the Beryl M762 and AK-47 assault rifles, the latter possibly being a reference to the OBJ-006, a Kalashnikov derivative unveiled by DICON in 2006.
The Beryl M762 is an export variant of the Polish military’s 5.56 mm Beryl wz. 96C service rifle that is chambered in 7.62×39 mm. It has accessory rails, uses standard AK-47 magazines, and has a fire selector with single shot, three-round burst, and full-automatic modes.”

“Nigerian Air Force receives additional Mi-35Ms
Written by defenceWeb, Thursday, 03 May 2018
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has taken delivery of another two Mi-35M attack helicopters from Russia, bringing the total delivered to four, out of twelve on order.

The two aircraft were delivered aboard an Antonov An-124-100 transport aircraft, which arrived at NAF Base Makurdi on 30 April. The helicopters are partially disassembled, with their main and tail rotors removed for transit.

“The newly delivered helicopters, which are capable of night fighting, are all brand new and are the most sophisticated in the Mi-series of helicopter gunships,” the NAF said, and will boost Nigeria’s counter-insurgency capabilities. The NAF has been conducting regular airstrikes against Boko Haram positions in the northeast of the country. It said the helicopters will go a long way in adding impetus to combatting the security challenges in Benue State and other parts of the North Central Region as well as other forms of criminality facing the country.

Nigeria’s Federal Government ordered 12 Mi-35Ms in September 2015, with the first two being delivered in December 2016, and inducted into service in April the following year. Since then, the NAF said they have been contributing significantly to the counterinsurgency and other internal security operations in the country.

Some NAF personnel have undergone training in Russia, as pilots and technicians on the Mi-35M, as part of the contract.

The Mi-35M is powered by two Klimov VK-2500 turbo-shaft engines. It has an updated navigation and avionics suite which features multi-function coloured displays and target sighting systems, including a thermal imager and laser rangefinder. Apart from the attack role, the Mi-35M can be used for landing or transporting up to 8 fully-equipped soldiers.”

Nigerian Air Force makes airworthy another EC-135, locally overhauls Mi-35P


Written by defenceWeb, Tuesday, 12 June 2018


Armée Nigériane / Nigerian Armed Forces - Page 13 3115

A Nigerian Mi-35P attack helicopter.The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has taken back into service an EC-135 light helicopter after maintenance, and has completed the first local overhaul of an Mi-35P attack helicopter.

The NAF on 9 June said the overhauled Mi-35P was received in a ceremony held at the NAF’s 115 Special Operations Group (SOG) in Port Harcourt. “The Mi-35P Helicopter was one of the critical air assets being employed in the counterinsurgency operations in the Northeast before it was grounded, having become due for scheduled overhaul,” the NAF said.

Also restored to serviceability was an EC-135 which became unserviceable in March 2018 as it needed an engine change. The reactivation work on both helicopters was carried out in the hangar of 115 SOG by NAF engineers and technicians, who worked closely with some foreign technical partners.

Speaking during the acceptance ceremony, the Air Officer Commanding Tactical Air Command, Air Vice Marshal Oladayo Amao, stated that the two newly reactivated helicopters would augment the number of air assets available for counterinsurgency operations and other Internal Security operations in the country. He also expressed appreciation to the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, for his vision of undertaking the Life Extension Programme (LEP) of the Mi-35P locally and for authorizing timely release of resources to achieve the objective. According to him, it was the first time the LEP of the Mi-35P Helicopter would be locally accomplished, a feat that had not only resulted in costs savings but also enhanced the capacity of NAF technical crews. He then disclosed that a similar major maintenance work had commenced on another Mi-35P.

“The work, which began on 27 February 2017, sets a new beginning for the NAF along its journey to a culture of self-reliance”, Abubakar stated.

“Nigerian Air Force acquisitions revealed in budget
Written by Oscar Nkala, Tuesday, 17 July 2018
The Nigerian government has approved a part-payment of $47 million towards the Nigerian Air Force’s (NAF’s) procurement of three JF-17 Thunder fighter jets from Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC).

According to the 2018 Federal Appropriation Bill that was approved by President Buhari on 20 June, the JF-17 aircraft will be acquired together with relevant spares, support equipment and accessories. The budget lists a new amount of N17 billion ($47 million) as part payment for three JF-17s, support equipment and spares as well as N12 billion ($33 million) for the existing procurement of three JF-17s. In 2016 Nigeria budgeted $25 million for the JF-17 purchase.

Nigeria may buy more JF-17s at a later date, and may have only budgeted for an initial three, with more funding possibly allocated later.

The government has also set aside nearly N6 billion ($19 million) for the procurement of two new AW109 helicopters from Italian aircraft manufacturer Leonardo Helicopters.

The budget also includes provision for periodic depot maintenance of a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, as well as periodic depot maintenance of two Alpha Jets.

In addition, the government has set aside N3 billion ($8 million) for the procurement of various aircraft spares, and various arms and ammunition that include ammunition for fighter jets and attack helicopters.

The budget also provides for the construction and equipment of a standard aircraft maintenance hangar at the Bauchi Special Operations Command base as well as upgrades and rehabilitation of existing military infrastructure at various air bases around the country.

The Nigerian acquisition of the JF-17 Thunder multi-role fighter jets is part of an ongoing fleet modernisation programme that includes the procurement of eight Russian-made Mi-35M attack helicopters and up to 12 A-29 Super Tucano close air support aircraft from the US.

The NAF is expecting three more pre-owned, serviceable A-29 Super Tucano aircraft from Brazil. The aircraft were manufactured by Brazilian aerospace company Embraer Defence and Security.

The new aircraft are expected to boost the operational capabilities of the air force in its fight against militancy and the Boko Haram insurgency in the north-east.”

Nigerian Navy commissions new vessels


Written by defenceWeb, Wednesday, 05 September 2018


Armée Nigériane / Nigerian Armed Forces - Page 13 48h24

The NNS Nguru.The Nigerian Navy has commissioned into service 16 new vessels, including ten small boats and six patrol vessels, which will be used to enhance maritime security and protect the country’s oil and gas assets. It has also revealed that more vessels are on the way.

The boats were commissioned on 3 September by Minister of Defence, Brigadier General Mansur Dan-Ali, at the Naval Dockyard in Lagos.

The vessels included the NNS Ekulu and NNS Nguru, two FPB 110 patrol boats delivered earlier this year by France’s Ocea. These 35 metre vessels were ordered in February 2017 and are to be equipped with two 12.7 mm and one 20 mm cannon each. Nigeria has also ordered five FPB 72s from Ocea, with the NNS Gongola and NNS Calabar delivered in January this year, after the NNS Shiroro and NNS Ose arrived in 2017. These four vessels were also commissioned on 3 September.

It is not clear what type of small boats were commissioned but they could be 9.5 metre Guardian fast patrol boats built by Nautic Africa. In November 2017 the Nigerian Navy accepted four of the type out of an order for 14 – the other ten, which are 8.5 metre long variants, were to be delivered progressively.

The Nigerian Navy has also taken delivery of a number of 8.2 metre long boats built by Nigerian company Epenal, with around 60 been delivered over the last year.

Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ette Ibas, said the latest additions increased the Nigerian Navy’s acquisitions in the last two years to over 200. “Local boat building associates like Messrs Epenal Boat Builders and John Holt Plc which have accounted for the delivery of over 200 boats in the past have continued to be patronised. The navy dockyard remains productively engaged as it is on course for the delivery of a third straight Seaward Defence Boat (SDB), now a 42 meter boat.

“Furthermore, efforts are ongoing towards acquiring more fast patrol vessels for littoral waters up to the EEZ, while the construction of a hydrographic vessel and landing ship would further reinforce the navy’s regional maritime dominance,” he said.

Ibas noted that the construction of 20 rigid-hulled inflatable boats (RHIBs) by Suncraft “has reached an advanced stage, with the recent second milestone inspection reporting their possible delivery on schedule and within the next few months.”

“The acquisition of the six new Ocea FPC and 10 rigid hull inflatable boats will narrow the capability gaps in enhancing security of the country’s maritime expanse,” Ibas said. “Their commissioning and induction respectively into the service is therefore another operational milestone for the navy as they will complement existing Maritime Domain Awareness Capability in the face of its inherent need for a potent interdiction capability.

“I must however be quick to observe that despite this commendable stride, we have barely scratched the outstanding deficit in the navy fleet,” the Chief of Naval Staff added.

In his address, Dan-Ali said that “the reality of today exposes our dear nation to be challenged by multi-faceted threats from both continental and maritime fronts, with attendant grave manifestations and Increasing threats to maritime security. These pose a huge challenge that negates the vast potentials of the nation’s maritime domain and the Gulf of Guinea region in supporting the prosperity and wellbeing of states and their people. The peaceful use and maintenance of rule of law and order in this expanse have been afflicted by cross-border threats which constrain investment and economic development. Criminalities like piracy, sea robbery and attack on strategic oil installations have complicated the nation’s maritime security environment and threaten with dire consequences, the overall wellbeing of the nation.

“For a littoral state with huge dependence on her offshore resources, maritime security is vital to the nation’s well-being. Against this background of threats the entire nation would invariably be at risky situation if we do not insist on a motivated and virile navy like ours.

“I note with satisfaction that, in synergy with the other Armed Forces, the Navy has continued to maintain effective deterrence and appropriate operational posture. The induction of the platforms today is in line with the current administration’s promise to keep our nation safe. This commissioning ceremony is yet another demonstration of this administration resolve of protecting the nation’s maritime domain through the provision of appropriate military platforms and operating equipment also to the credit of His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

“The procurement of these vessels by the Ministry of Defence again demonstrates this administration’s unwavering commitment and willingness towards strengthening the Navy through provision of modern operating equipment and infrastructure,” Dan-Ali said.

Nigerian Navy orders 15 patrol boats from Paramount Maritime


Written by defenceWeb, Tuesday, 02 October 2018


Armée Nigériane / Nigerian Armed Forces - Page 13 430

A Nautic Guardian vessel.The Nigerian Navy has ordered 15 new rigid hull inflatable boats (RHIBs) from Paramount Maritime, after commissioning into service ten RHIBs last month.

Paramount Maritime is set to produce the RHIBs, which include 8.5 metre and 9.5 metre Guardian fast patrol boats, in the Gulf of Guinea, “scaling the facilities in-step with Paramount Group’s proven portable manufacturing model deployed around the world, which not only allows for rapid platform deployment but also serves as a proponent of local manufacturing and job creation in the countries where Paramount operates,” the company said when announcing the order last month. Nigerian personnel will be trained in South Africa before taking skills back home.

James Fisher, chairman of Nautic Africa (whose military business falls under Paramount Maritime), said the company has been working in Nigeria for a decade and this latest contract is not a one-off but a long-term technology transfer.

The RHIBs have various propulsion options, and come with a self-rightening bag and cylinder in the event of capsizing and ballistic protection in the form of removable panels that can be mounted on the port and starboard sides.

Senior Vice President of Paramount Group, Eric Ichikowitz, stated that, “maritime matters have become more and more important in preserving sovereign nations’ territorial integrity and blue economy coastal states such as Nigeria are today taking proactive measures to address issues well beyond piracy. The commitment presented by the Nigerian Navy today is a bold but necessary step to proactively deter attacks against ships in the Gulf of Guinea and along Nigeria’s coastline.

“Under the leadership and stewardship of the Chief of the Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe ibas, the Nigerian navy has been substantially increasing the capacity and the capability of Nigerian’s security services…and we look forward to continued and shared growth, both to preserve Nigeria’s economic stability and enhance the region’s defence industrial complex, which as I’ve previously stated, creates significant benefits to the economy through local job creation and training.”

Ichikowitz said he hopes the Nigerian Navy will order additional RHIBs from Paramount. At the beginning of September it commissioned ten RHIBs, which included 8.5 and 9.5 metre Guardian models – another four were commissioned in November 2017.

Paramount said the vessels are ideally suited to either ship to shore, or shore to shore fast patrol and security intervention duties, for both the Nigerian Navy, and the Navy’s Special Boat Services. The vessels will also be used for the military training of Special Forces, rescue and patrol operations and the protection of oil and gas assets.

Two Nigerian F-7s crash

Erwan de Cherisey, Bordeaux - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly

02 October 2018



The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) announced that two CAC F-7NI jet fighters had crashed on 28 September during a rehearsal for the 1 October military parade celebrating Nigeria’s 58th anniversary of independence.

The NAF did not elaborate on the cause of the crashes, only saying that the three pilots had ejected, although one subsequently died of injuries sustained in his landing. The number of pilots involved indicated one of the lost aircraft was a twin-seat FT-7NI conversion trainer.

Nigeria is known to have taken delivery of 12 single-seat F-7NI and three FT-7NI jets in 2010. Prior to the 28 September crash, four F-7NI and one FT-7NI were known to have been lost in accidents.

Pakistan approves Nigerian JF-17 production

Jeremy Binnie, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly

25 October 2018



The Pakistani government’s Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) has approved a USD184.3 million sovereign guarantee covering the production of three PAC/CAC JF-17 Thunder fighters for Nigeria under a recently signed contract, the Pakistan Express Tribune reported on 24 October.

This is the first confirmation from Pakistan that Abuja has signed a contract for the JF-17, although payments totalling NGN19.7 billion (USD54 billion) were put aside for the aircraft in Nigeria’s 2016 and 2018 budgets.

Sierra Nevada va produire 12 A-29 Super Tucano pour le Nigeria

Sierra Nevada Corporation a remporté un contrat afin de doter le Nigeria d'avions d'attaque légers A-29 Super Tucano.


Le 29 novembre, le département américain à la Défense a annoncé qu'une FMS (foreign military sale) avait été conclue avec le Nigeria. Dans ce cadre, Sierra Nevada Corporation fournira douze avions d'attaque légers A-29 Super Tucano aux forces nigérianes. Le contrat est estimé à près de 345 M$ et comprend également six systèmes d'imagerie infrarouge frontale. Selon le département à la défense, le Nigéria devrait avoir réceptionné ses Super Tucano en mai 2024.

La conclusion de cette vente fait suite à plusieurs années de négociations. Déjà en août 2017, l'agence américaine chargée de la coopération en matière de défense et de sécurité (DSCA) avait annoncé que le département d'Etat avait approuvé la vente de douze Super Tucano au Nigéria. Mais les négociations avaient déjà débuté sous l'administration Obama. Elles avaient été interrompues en raison d'un bombardement mené sur des civils. En 2017, la DSCA avait ainsi annoncé qu'un volet formation serait rattaché au contrat. Les forces nigérianes devaient recevoir des enseignements relatifs au droit des conflits armés et à « l'intégration air-sol pour minimiser les dommages civils dans les opérations aériennes », avait-elle annoncé. L'annonce du contrat publiée le 29 novembre ne précise pas si cette formation est toujours d'actualité.

L'A-29 est un turbopropulseur conçu par Embraer, capable d'emporter jusqu'à 1 500 kilos d'armement. Il est doté de deux mitrailleuses lourdes de 12,7 mm équipées chacune de 200 cartouches. Elles sont situées sous les ailes de l'appareil. Il peut également être muni de canons de 20 mm.

« Additional AW109s destined for Nigeria

Written by defenceWeb, Thursday, 13 December 2018
Share to TwitterShare to FacebookIn addition to twelve new Super Tucanos from the United States, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) will be taking delivery of six AW109 helicopters from Italy's Leonardo.

This is according to Nigerian Chief of Air Staff (CAS) Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, who revealed the acquisition on 8 December during a visit to Kano Air Base, where he examined the capabilities of the 403 Flying Training School (403 FTS) and 465 Nigerian Air Force Hospital (465 NAFH).

“The President Buhari administration has done much in repositioning the Nigerian Air Force," Abubakar said. "We are also hoping to get 12 brand new aircraft from the United States of America. In addition, we are also hoping to get six brand new helicopter gunships from Italy. So, I think from what we have seen in terms of support, every officer, airman and airwoman in the Nigerian Air Force has every reason to put in his or her best in order to ensure that Nigeria is secure," the CAS said.

Speaking the day before in Kaduna at the graduation of 769 Nigerian Air Force personnel who were drawn from the Regiment, Air Police and Intelligence specialties, Abubakar said the helicopters from Italy were AW109 Power models.

It is assumed the AW109s will be the AW109M version that can be armed with machinegun pods and 70 mm rocket launchers.


The Nigerian government has already budgeted for two AW109s but more are likely to be ordered as the government allocates more money in future budgets. According to the 2018 Federal Appropriation Bill that was approved by President Muhammadu Buhari on 20 June, the government has set aside nearly N6 billion ($19 million) for the procurement of two new AW109 helicopters from Leonardo Helicopters. These will join the AW109 LUHs already in service with the Nigerian Air Force and the A109Es in service with the Nigerian Navy.

Whilst at 403 FTS, Abubakar inspected progress on the reactivation of three L-39ZA aircraft, which will be used for training as well as counter-insurgency operations against Boko Haram militants.

Nigeria’s Super Tucano purchase, meanwhile, is moving ahead, with Sierra Nevada Corporation awarded a contract for 12 of the aircraft in November. On 8 December the Nigerian Air Force said the United States Department of Defence had assured the Nigerian Air Force of its readiness to channel all efforts towards on-schedule delivery of the Super Tucanos. This assurance was given on 3 December by the Director of the United States Air Force Security Assistance and Cooperation (AFSAC) Directorate, Brigadier General Sean Farrell, during a meeting between representatives of the US DOD and the NAF, held at the Headquarters NAF in Abuja.

Abubakar applauded the US Government for the support it has rendered to the NAF over the years, which, he noted, had been instrumental in ensuring success in the COIN operations in the Northeast, despite recent setbacks. He said it had also enabled the NAF to project air power within the West African Sub-Region, such as the deployment of NAF aircraft to the Gambia in 2017 which facilitated the peaceful transition of power in that country thereby ensuring the sustenance of democracy.

He reiterated that the Boko Haram menace was not a local problem but a global one, because the consequences of not adequately dealing with the threat would not only impact on Nigeria and the West African Sub-Region but also on other parts of Africa and the rest of the world. This, he noted, underscored the need for international collaboration and cooperation to adequately and decisively deal with the threat.

Abubakar noted that the defeat of ISIS in Syria and Iraq has had the unfortunate effect of exacerbating the problem in Nigeria with transfer of fighters and equipment into and around the West African region. He stressed that the induction of the Super Tucano would greatly enhance the NAF’s capability to more effectively prosecute the war against insurgency in the Northeast. He therefore urged the AFSAC team to do all within its power to ensure that at least 2 of the aircraft are delivered to Nigeria even before the new delivery date of 2021.”

“Ara 2 MRAP in production as Proforce expands business

Written by Guy Martin, Friday, 14 December 2018
Share to TwitterShare to FacebookNigeria’s Proforce Limited is preparing to launch the 2019 version of its PF Ara 2 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle as it expands into the naval and unmanned aerial vehicle markets while increasing local content in its vehicles.

The Ara 2 (meaning Thunder) is a 4x4 Armoured Personnel Carrier, with thirty presently being produced for the Nigerian Army. Foreign countries have requested for another twenty, according to Raymond Asare-Sintim, Business Development Executive at Proforce.

The PF Ara 2 is a monocoque vehicle built to STANAG level 4569 protection standards with double skin protection of Level 3A and 3B, and an underbelly of 4A and 4B. This protection level ensures an underbelly with a V-shaped hull design that can withstand a 100 kg mine. The higher ground clearance of 442mm and the central tyre inflation system enhances the vehicle’s off-road capabilities and can take this vehicle to urban, mountainous and challenging rural terrains, Proforce said.

With the capacity to carry up to 12 personnel plus equipment, the PF Ara 2 can be configured into multiple MRAP variants for a wide range of missions including recovery, command and control, ambulance, field kitchen and reconnaissance.

The Ara 2 has a length of 7.1 metres and height of 3.3 m, and gross weight of 15 tons. A 12.7 mm machinegun can be mounted on a 360 degree roof turret which can be open or fully enclosed. Optional equipment includes slat armour, gun ports and grenade launchers as well as reactive armour, according to Proforce.

Proforce builds armoured personnel carriers (APCs), MRAPs, patrol boats, hard armour plates, and ballistic helmet and vests. The company is diversifying into new areas of the defence industry. These include manufacturing of communication devices in collaboration with technical partners from Pakistan and manufacturing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in collaboration with a company from South Korea.

Proforce believes Nigeria is fast becoming the defence manufacturing hub for Africa. This is only possible due to the encouragement and total commitment of the Nigerian government. Sintim told defenceWeb that there has been huge expansion in Proforce, which aims to dominate the African market in the next few years.

In line with its localisation strategy, Proforce has embarked on a backward integration strategy to produce its own ballistic steel and ballistic glass for its vehicles. This will enable the company to achieve 70% local content on its vehicles.

Proforce was established in 2008, specializing in the manufacturing of armoured vehicles and personal protection. The company manufactures armoured tactical vehicles (ATV), armoured personnel carriers, ballistic helmets and vests, armoured cash-in-transit, armoured private and commercial passenger vehicles.

One of Proforce’s most prominent products is the PF1 armoured personnel carrier (APC), which has been upgraded to the PF2 with enhanced protection to B7 level and all-terrain tyres which improve ground clearance. Proforce has achieved exports of its APCs to Rwanda, the Central African Republic and South Sudan. These vehicles have been deployed with United Nations’ missions. »

“Nigeria to protest US conditions on $494 million purchase of Super Tucanos
Written by Reuters, Friday, 26 January 2018
Nigeria will protest to the United States over conditions imposed on its planned $494 million (£345.6 million) purchase of 12 A-29 Super Tucano aircraft, Defence Minister Mansur Dan Ali said on Thursday.

Those conditions include the 2020 transfer date for the aircraft and that Nigerian technicians will not be trained by U.S. staff, be part of maintenance crews, nor can they study the production of the planes, he told reporters at a briefing in Abuja.

The sale of the planes has been dogged by controversy. Under Barack Obama, the former U.S. president, the aircraft deal had been held off due to concerns about the Nigerian military’s human rights abuses. In one instance, up to 170 people died last January after the air force bombed a refugee camp in the northeastern town of Rann.

But President Donald Trump’s administration approved the sale to support Nigeria’s efforts to fight Boko Haram militants and to boost U.S. defence jobs, sources told Reuters last April. In December, Nigeria’s air force said the deal had been formally agreed.

Dan Ali did not say whether the disagreement over the conditions would affect the air force’s Feb. 20 target for the final agreements to be signed and initial payments made.


“These conditions we will not accept,” he said.

“(Nigeria‘s) security council has approved the purchase of the aircrafts but some of the conditions America gave us are stringent. We will discuss reducing the conditions with the American ambassador, (and) payments will be made when the conditions are reduced.”

A spokesman for the U.S. embassy in Abuja did not immediately respond to phone calls or an email seeking comment.

The sale of the 12 aircraft, with weapons and service, includes thousands of bombs and rockets.

The propeller-driven plane with reconnaissance, surveillance and attack capabilities, is made by Brazil’s Embraer. A second production line is in Florida, in a partnership between Embraer and privately held Sierra Nevada Corp of Sparks, Nevada.

The Super Tucano costs more than $10 million each and the price can go much higher depending on the configuration. It is powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT 6 engine.”[/quote]
