The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) today, 14 January 2018, took delivery of the second batch of Super Mushshak trainer aircraft that the Federal Government had since ordered from Pakistan.



The Ilyushin 76 Strategic Airlifter aircraft that brought the new Super Mushshak aircraft touched down at NAF Base Kaduna at exactly 7.45 am today. The Chief of Logistics at NAF Headquarters, Air Vice Marshal Bello Garba, received the new aircraft on behalf of the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar.



A combined team of NAF and Pakistan Air Force (PAF) personnel were also on hand to assist in offloading the new aircraft, some parts of which came in crates. In addition, officials of the Nigerian Customs Service and the Nigerian Immigration Service were present to ensure necessary documentation. The newly delivered aircraft, which are capable of being used for acrobatics training, are all brand new and fitted with digital glass cockpit.



The newly received aircraft, five in number, form the final batch of a total of 10 Super Mushshak aircraft, the procurement of which the current Federal Government Administration initiated in Year 2016. As at 2015, local primary flying training in the NAF was almost grounded thereby necessitating the procurement of the Super Mushshak Aircraft. Consequently, with the delivery of the new Super Mushshak aircraft, primary flying training of NAF pilots at 401 Flying Training School (FTS), Kaduna has just received a boost. Without doubts, the delivery of the aircraft would go a long way in helping to sustain the process of building capacity to effectively prosecute the counterinsurgency operations in the North East as well as other forms of criminalities in the country.



It would be recalled that the NAF took delivery of the first batch of 5 brand new Super Mushshak Aircraft on 14 July 2017, following which the aircraft were inducted and deployed for primary training of NAF pilots. Furthermore, some NAF personnel had undergone training in Pakistan, as Instructor Pilots and technicians on the Super Mushshak aircraft, as part of the contract. The delivery went without any hitches and the Ilyushin 76 Aircraft has departed from Nigeria. The newly received aircraft will now be assembled in Nigeria by a team of PAF and NAF technicians prior to test flying and formal induction into the NAF.

Disgraceful.

What are those?wrapped Ice Fish?

In every country around the world, the Defence Budgets, usually takes the chunk of the Country's wealth and Nigeria is inclusive.

By all standards, Nigeria is a wealthy Nation.

Even amongst the comity of Nations in Africa,Nigeria is well respected and that is why I don't get it why our Air Force should be buying the 1970's era jets from another developing Country like Pakistan,and then pass it as something new to us.

It will not be well with the Procurement Officers at the Defense Ministry.

Modified: somebody just brought it to my attention that it is for training. Okay my friend, you do not train with a Cessna 152 plane,and then go fly a Boeing 737.

Whatever they are training them with is what they are flying with.

They should be trained with up to date fighter planes/jets.

So they have to wrap it with Nylon to shows no be tokunbo Oya straight to Benue, Nasarawa, Adamawa and Kaduna.

Wish them happy trainings

Buhari is working

Even Pakistan is doing better than Nigeria.

After fighting a civil war in 1970’s, they quickly settled their differences and moved on.

Now they manufacture war planes and tanks

While Nigeria manufacture “made in Germany” pencils

BUHARI led APC administration trying their best to protect life and property of Nigerians.

I no understand ur anger

Truth be told, in this age and time, it is embarrassing to see a country such as ours acquiring antiquities such as these.

#Disappointed.

benue, taraba, Adamawa residents:

Someone snoring "even Pakistan is doing better than Nigeria" .

If you go back, you'd see he's a die hard fan of the ineffectual buffoon.

In these people's minds, Nigeria was a country standing shoulder to shoulder with the United States in all standards until Jonathan was sent back to Otuoke. Buhari came in and ruined a Utopia in two years!

That is how twisted the mind of an average jonathnian and pdp supporter is.
