It's a trainer aircraft. The news could have been more elaborated, but sensationalism pays the bills.

OMG! I was expecting something good not Adolf Hitler used plane!

fuckingAyaya:
Where are the planes?what am seeing here is not different from what benue state government used to empower the youth

Lmfao

kudos. They have bought aircraft for northern (Islamic) children who just passed out from foreign (Islamic) air colleges to use in learning how to bomb other Nigerians, but they say it's for boko haram. We are watching.

Every time Nigeria acquire these Nigeria acquire that, when will they start producing,,,,,

Is this an insult or a joke? They bought a plane for spraying insecticides on crops? What is the meaning of this?

imagine, countries they buy F-15 and F-16 fighter jets, Nigeria dey buy agriculture jet used in world war 1











NA WA OOOOO

divicode:
After destroying boko haram, the next target should be the secessionists!

Some people must be taught good lessons

BRO, it's not wrong for a group of people with similar interests but deprived of it to secede in any country in the world, moreso they have not been violent about it even developed nations like Spain still have groups like Andalusia and Catalonia that 're planning to be independent. I'm a Yoruba guy with no Ibo relations and I don't see anything wrong with their agitation

o if I decide to join NAF it's this rubbish I will be piloting.
When there are north American X-15.
That flew more than six times the speed of sound (mach 6.70).

when i saw the first picture, i was like is this agriculture section??

cause that plane na wetin farmers suppose they use apply chemicals for big farm lands...

And Buhari's Presidency will be fanning themselves they have equipped the military to fight boko Haram... Smh

itsIYKE:

But seriously, If you check the budget. The money used to fight terrorism can actually be used to develop most parts of the country. (Sadly, we have to fight terrorism) God help us. Just hoping all this voilence stops soon.
This is 2017 and many parts of Nigeria is still underdeveloped.

gbosaa:
Is that not one of those agricultural aircrafts used in aerial top dressing in farms

How can Nigeria airforce use this to fight boko?

Nigeria should not be made a dumping ground for any aerial keke. We can manufacture something much better than this for the rice fields in Kebbi state.

Its for training

Wetin b dis
We no dey fight ww2 na

stevnwigw:
toy plane meant for air surveillance

with no jet engine just a propeller plane

Even though this particular plane is piston driven there are propeller planes that are actually powered by jet engines or turbines , we call them turbo props

Nigeria is a sick nation

Which kind insult be this na?

oladeebo:

funny!
why not ffk?
the kin friend of Kanu

Chaii...who use this brain drink akamu?

Akalia:
Does this aircraft have combat capability?

They are training aircraft apparently. One Pakistani Mushkak aircraft crashed in training of cadets in 2014. I guess that is why they are getting rid of their stock now.

Which serious air force uses propeller planes as fighter aircraft these days?

Very mediocre in my opinion.

Temidayo9:
This is anti poachers plane na.

Boko Haram are similar to poachers.

Jet fighter-bombers and even Apaches with all those missiles are not better suited than these, actually. Subsonic planes that can fly low and spray camps and convoys with machine gun fire are cheaper to run and present less chance of collateral damage.

If these planes are armed, they are more suited for a war of attrition against determined terrorists,and, IMHO, FG will be right to opt for these. If they will be used for training, same thing.

And BTW, its not like we dont have jets and helos.

Look like tolotolo Super Mushshak aircraft

Then you will overshoot your target and rain fire on poor innocent villagers. That can happen in a split second at such speed, you know.

At least its buhari against the north.

The speed can b broken-down and it's not flown by just anybody.
It requires effective training.

Why do people comment without first reading?

It was clearly written that these planes are meant for training the pilots not for attack.

It is true that these models are archaic but for fresh trainees, they will go a long way.

The Federal Government of Nigeria has unveiled five Super Mushshak trainer aircraft acquired to boost the capacity of Nigeria Air Force to tackle Boko Haram menace. The five aircraft are among the 10 acquired by the government from Pakistan.



The Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali who represented the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to unveil the aircraft in Kaduna said Nigeria would welcome more support from friendly nations in its efforts to mow down Boko Haram insurgency.

“I will not fail to mention that the decision to acquire the Super Mushshak aircraft from Pakistan has greatly promoted the existing bilateral relationship between the two sister countries. “

It is our hope that we will continue to have the support and collaboration of other friendly nations, especially as we continue to combat insurgency and other security challenges in our country.’’

The Acting President, who also witnessed the graduation of 16 young Student Pilots from 401 Flying Training School, for the first time in 30 years, pledged that the administration would continue to invest in the country’s air arsenal. He recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari had two years ago pledged to build the capacity of the armed forces to effectively address Boko Haram insurgency and other national security threats. “These achievements are a demonstration of the commitment and visionary leadership of the administration,’’ he said. Osinbajo stressed that the administration had remained committed to its desire of ensuring a peaceful country.

“This has been a major security policy thrust of this administration. “We have since embarked on qualitative training and acquisition of new platforms and other supporting equipment for the Armed Forces and security agencies.

“We have also sanitised the procurement process of military hardware with a view to eliminating corruption and inefficiency.

“I make bold to say that we have achieved remarkable savings and infused quality into the system. “This has contributed in no small way to the acquisition of these new aircraft without any encumbrances.

“It is now your responsibility to make good use of the aircraft as we await the delivery of the last batch by the end of the year. “I have no doubt that the acquisition of the Super Mushshak aircraft would add impetus to the training efforts of 401 FTS.” He lauded the achievements and transformations taking place in the military, linking the feat to “focused and visionary leadership.”

“It is heart-warming to see the Nigerian Air Force striving to meet the nation’s security needs through the sacrifices, dedication of the officers, airmen and airwomen,’’ he added.

Earlier, Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadiq Abubakar said the NAF has attained 70 per cent aircraft serviceability as against 30 per cent two years ago. He said that the training of several combat pilots and other capacity building initiatives had raised the morale of air personnel and their efficiency.

“We now have the capability to embark on and sustain major operations simultaneously within and beyond our national boundaries,’’ he said.

TO TACKLE BOKO HARAM OR FOR TRAINING PURPOSES?

zolapower:
. Bros the plane na to train trainee ,not meant for wars with rocket propelled granade or rock launcher . Op didnt know what he was saying

It can still be armed and equipped with water cannons. Baba Fayo will use that to spray and fumigate herdsmen as they depart Ekiti. I heard those men are allergic to water,bath and shower.

If you doubt the power of water cannons, better as Charly boy.

the same boko wey Dem know who dey behind?! sha dey waste the money they claimed no dey
