What an insult,and ignorant people are already celebrating,the same US that gave free f16 sophisticated fighters to Egypt is now supervising the sale of a lowly made in Brazil propeller fighter to Nigeria,well they kuku know that Nigerians are dumb people.

See link when they gave free F16 fighters to Egypt,they could have atleast sold us better jet fighters than that Brazilian made plane,after all,we are buying it,Nigeria should go ahead and buy MIGs from Russia,enough of this insult.

USA does not sell weapons to foreign countries they don't have control over

The administration of U.S. President Barack Obama is seeking to approve the sale of up to 12 A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft to Nigeria to help its fight against Boko Haram, the Islamist extremist group that has pledged loyalty to Islamic State.

Here are some facts about the aircraft:

An agile, propeller-driven plane, the Super Tucano is in wide use in Africa, Latin America and elsewhere.

The plane is manufactured by Embraer S.A. (EMBR3.SA), a Brazilian aerospace conglomerate. A second production line is in Florida, in a partnership between the privately-held, U.S.-based Sierra Nevada Corp. of Sparks, Nev., and Embraer.

More than 200 Super Tucanos are operated by 10 nations, according to Embraer. The plane is used for training and security, surveillance, reconnaissance and counter-insurgency missions.

The plane can carry a wide array of armaments, including precision-guided munitions, is equipped with advanced avionics, communications and sensors and can operate from remote, unpaved airstrips.

It has a maximum speed of 590 km per hour (367 mph) and a flight ceiling of 35,000 feet (6.6 miles).

Militaries in Afghanistan, Angola, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Indonesia and Mauritania fly the Super Tucano. Guatemala, Senegal, Ghana, Mali and Lebanon have ordered the aircraft, according to Embraer.

Families gather after Egypt church attack, state of emergency approved
The first four of 20 aircraft destined for Afghanistan was delivered in 2016.

Colombia has used the aircraft in its long war against leftist FARC rebels.

A Super Tucano operated by the Indonesian Air Force crashed on the island of Java on Feb. 10, killing two crew members and two civilians. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

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 (UTX.N) Canada PT 6 engine. Embraer declined comment on the unit costs.

Thank you. This is corruption. Why should we be buying World War 2 era fighter jets at 50 million USD a pop. This is ridiculous. Who buys a fu%&#cking propeller fighter jet in this era? What a scam!

Boko Haram are Nigerians

Nigeria is only country in the world which buys war materials and train its soldiers to fight and kill Nigerians ubder any guise,
Nigeria is country where Fulani used its soldiers to restructure politically. But in a democracy, Fulani refuse all overtures to restructure the country democratically. Instead Nigeria armed forces are deployed to kill off people asking for reforms or secession.

I swear I pity for my country on how they treat us , these planes that looks like what Brazilian herdsmen use to monitor their cow in the field.
We caused if for ourselves anyway. We made our self folly in their sight.
Imagine my country that partakes in 80% of peacekeeping missions in Africa but still we have no special consideration. It is better we align with Russia and China than this rubber heads.

be you in north or south, the war planes can destroy you. Boko Haram is a creation of those 12 northern Nigeria sharia states who adopted sharia criminal laws and strive to impose Islam to all in Nigeria.

Trump wants jihadists destroyed. IPOB does not have disadvantage here. IPOB should be happy over it.

Russia can sell better planes at lesser price than these. Am interested in my country have the best air power. Even if we should get stuffs like these, just 6 is enough not 12, maybe use the remaining money to get 2 or 3 better and stronger machines, China do produce very good fighter planes. To me these planes look like what I can bring down with stone.

We can get the su 25s, a flying tank or even the a10 wartog since we love wwII planes.
Ofcousre Russian planes and even Chinese chendgbu f7 are far better than this outdated fighters from Brazil,why are Americans this evil? upon say we are paying with our money and not a gift.

The aircraft is multirole and cheap operational cost at $500 dollars an hour. But what I don't understand is why we are buying this featherweight aircraft for $50 million each when it cost less than $20 million, according to defense websites.
