Everything about these photos scream!!! first class A1. Absolutely brilliant. Their gear and kits are second to none. Thank you NN.
Also notice the tavor-21′s are the macro variant. Shorter than the normal ones, like we saw with the airforce. Specifically tailored for the modern day special forces soldier.
Thanks for bringing these to our notice, Henry.
The military are now trying to put their best foot forward. That is highly commendable. Two years ago, it would have been photos of NAOWA, NOWA and NAFOWA with ‘gele’ everywhere while these kinds of edifying and infinitely more important photos could only have come from “DVIDS” of the U.S military, with our own people being absolutely uninterested in recording stuff for posterity and/or public enlightenment.
Now, and in sync with our loud clamour, we get to see serious stuff – operational photos…AFISMA air operations and deployment from the NAF and now, “Ex Obangame 2013″. The NN left the starting blocks first and have been representing well since “Ex Farauta”
Welcome,Nigerians, to a new and heartwarming way of doing things. Nobody can tell our story better than we can.
Kudos to all NA, NN and NAF PR chaps who are concurrently Beegeagle’s Bloggers. We can see your deft hands on the plough. You are representing us well.We are all united for one noble task – showing the bright light.
Way to go, comrades..SUSTAIN !!
Way to go beeg !! This blog of yours is actually turning things aright. Soldiers are just coming out of the woodwork, and are feeding us these marvelous pictures.Thanks for affording us a chance to effect some change.
Oga beeg u wan kill me me laff….anyway i watched the clip on NTA some days back and i was really proud of our boys mostly when i compared them to her other participating counter parts particularly Cameroon, men they just stood out….and una see how thunder dwarf the french ship! gosh!
OMG…….Gen beegs,henry,dozzy and co. the way you guys are fascinated about weapons i hope you guys know how to handle one?your analysis of combat gear is woow haba allah.Naija is coming up just if we can stem corruption and outside interference we will move as fast as IRAN who have stunned the technology world and those guys are crazy in the next five ten years the would be a force to reckon with.
Sweet pics! NN really stood tall!
Oga Beags, a little correction. In the first pic, NNS Thunder flaked by the French Ship, FS LIEUTENANT DE VAISSEAU LE HENAFF F789. Secondly, the chaps in the second picture are Special Forces of Congo-Brazaville!
Oga Obix i think u are not quite right about the second pics…pls check out ur info on NN website the pictures are there
Baba Camourflage, Infact, i was right. When Marshall Beags first posted the information, on the first picture he wasn’t sure of the ship flanking NNS Thunder, and the second picture had the Congo brazaville Special Forces about to board NNS Thunder. That was when i posted my corrections and Beags made the necessary changes!
Have a great day ya’ll!
Sorry, they’re wearing t shirts with the Nigerian Flag!!!
those helmets, it get as it be ohh chaii
arise o compatriots sail navy onward together backward never in the battle of our country we shall rise and fight and win
Can’t believe NA will willingly release such ‘top secret, classified’ pics! The Beeg one, what ‘tricks’ did you employ? These pics are just too coooool. The helmets look like that of Magneto (X-men). Common guys, see Tav-21s, gloves, kneel-pads. E be like say all of dem na same height sef! Kudos to the NA. The RHIBs (with well configured seats)looks brand new too. what brand/model is the boat?
This just feels me with pride give us the resources and the equipment and the sky is truly the limit thank you so much for the pics oga henry thank you for the link. What is humbling is that some people actuallly read through and see our genuine frustration and happiness when there is something good to say about NIGERIA NN WELL DONE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Hmn, what can I say? May God bless and provide the werewithal for the Nigerian Armed Forces and His Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Change does come when you speak out…IF you are seen to be well-meaning. “Na pikin wey stretch hand dem dey kari”
That should not surprise you, Camouflage1984. Before the exercise commenced, the Director, Capt David Rollo of the US Navy who I saw at the P-0-P of the NN Special Boat Service Course 7 and who works in sync with the Nigerian Navy on joint operations, maritime security and special operations training, had this to say: “NIGERIAN NAVY VERY PROFESSIONAL, VERY COMPETENT AND A REGIONAL LEADER”

Concerning the 1,100 ton French corvette “FS Lieutenant de Vaisseau Le Henaff F789″, she is one of the ships of the “D’Estienne d’Orves” class.
Could this desirable ocean-capable ship be one of the four ships which President Sarkozy approved for transfer to the NN in 2010 or were those part of the smaller and less compelling P400 series which are also being decommissioned by the French Navy?
This shot of the “FS Lieutenant de Vaisseau Le Henaff F789″,
big as she looks, serves to underscore the sheer size of the NNS Thunder. Big ships good..
Those guys on camo are sbs……there are lots of pics I would like to show…..but they have faces,to buttress my point. The army don’t use those helmets
I agree with you, besides the navy would not put up pictures of army personnel on their website.
@tim. Which riffle was the army sfs using
You could just use the paint program on almost ever windows pc, to cover up the faces,
YESSIR !!! Oga tim abeg now, blur the faces, but don’t deprive us of the pics.
I don prostrate o.
Those funny helmets,are also use by the UK sbs.
The helmets are top of the range, and I see no problem with them.
Were is Obix getting his info can somebody please clarify?
Baba Camouflage, Worry less about the source of information as long as it’s credible! LOL!
The boat in which they were boarding the thunder had the inscription NNS thunder
Yes, but i was talking about the Congolese SF which boarded using their own boat!
Then i dont think the pics u are refering to in on this blog
@Camo,Yes, like i said earlier, Sir Beag replaced it with the right one!
Now i see my mistake tot u meant the second pix on th blog
It’s OK , bro!
FANTASTIC!!! – Way to go Nigerian Navy!!! Keep em comming!

Is their Tar rifle diff from that used by the DSS/SSS
The TAR-21 rifle is the same as the DSS use. The DSS use both the standard tavor and the macro tavor( shorter and more compact)
The navy use both the standard and macro tavor.
The tavor-21 pictured above is the macro variant.
The airforce use the standard tavor-21
