It would have been nice to know what type of upgrade was done on our aircrafts
That link suggests that the Nigerian Armed Forces are on the cusp of massively expanding their numbers. I welcome that. For a country of 94,000 communities and 170m(by Dec 2012) and in a world where asymmetric warfare has become the mainstay military activity, I believe that the ideal size of the Army should be 115,000 troops in the Army, 17,000 men in the Nigerian Air Force and an 18,000 men in the Nigerian Navy.
Speaking to NTA newsmen at the time when the 660-unit Shehu Yar’Adua Barracks built by NA Engineers was commissioned by GEJ in March 2010, the outgone Chief of Army Staff stated that at the time when he took over command of the Nigerian Army in August 2008, there were 90,000 men in the Nigerian Army, 12,000 men in the Nigerian Navy and 13,000 men in the Nigerian Air Force.
Beegeagle, I have a cockpit and cabin photos of NAF565 Super Puma. How do I share it with you and your blog?
Post it here, my guy. We shall splash it one-two, one-two.
