And who told you the Tucano is not a jet ? You clearly know nothing about aircrafts or jet engines ... Nigeria doesnt have any air superiority aircraft to conveniently intercept for and defend our air space with so I would have expected the govt to use that money and buy a squadron of flankers and use the change to buy a curtain of decent two seater attack helicopters that will put an end to Boko Haram forces territorial movt in the North East.. the Tucano is no doubt great asset to provide close support with for advancing ground troops similar where it can be used to attack advancing armored columns and breaking up defensive positions just like what the great A10 warthog did for US forces but unfortunately Boko Haram rag tag insurgency doesnt and never uses any complex offensive strategy...The best was to take out Boko Haram type of forces is with attack helicopters and not a fix wing aircraft .

How the Tucano became the A-29 Super Tucano






The A-29 “Super Tucano” turboprop aircraft looks like a Latin spin throwback to the World War II era of iconic American fighters- but make no mistake this aircraft is a modern hybrid of low tech and high tech fit to fight current threats.


http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2017/09/01/seals-tucano-planes-and-more-than-3300-pounds-weapons.html

With more than 3,300 pounds of weapons, the fierce Super Tucano can swoop in to unleash hefty firepower from above and save lives of warfighters on the ground.


Super Tucano carries an array of weapons that no enemy would want to see heading their way.




In fact, five hard points under the wing and fuselage allow the aircraft to bring more than 3,300 pounds of weapons to a fight.

In addition to two internal machine guns, it can bring two .50" machine guns in the wings, with each unleashing 200 rounds for powerful close support of ground forces.

Rocket launchers like the LAU-68 and bombs like the Mk 81 or Mk 82 equipped with guidance kits are two other sorts of firepower it can unload to defeat enemy forces.

If the Super Tucano is under attack from an enemy plane, then it can unleash short-range air-air missiles like the AIM-9 Sidewinders – just like jets.

ipob yoot, the A-29 “Super Tucano” is not a jet, it's a turboprop aircraft

GodFreyinNORSE:


We already have two Mi 35M attacking helicopter and more are still coming. The Tucano is more needed here

SalamRushdie:


A turbo prop is a jet engine if you dont know ..go school go school una no gree dey follow one Dullard up and down ..Okay now I have schooled you that a turbo prop is actually a type of jet engine ..

Stop bothering me with your ipob ignorance.

The fact that they have a variation of jet engine doesn't mean they are jet places and there's a clear difference between turboprop planes and Jet planes.


Tucanos are turboprops, not jets regardless what kind of engines they put in them? They call Tucanos turboprop air crafts instead of jet planes for a reason.

Olodo, you beta go and school your fellow ignorant and unintelligent village Igbos...

SalamRushdie:


Turboprop is the Name of a jet engine variation and not a type of aircraft..Can you call a piston driven propeller planar a turboprop ? No ..receive sense , don't come to a place where you brain grade can't offer anything to argue ..yiu think this is PDP APC crap... I have mastered jet engine /rocket tech since I was 8 years old so you can't argue this field with me ..its my passion

The Tucano is a Turboprop aircraft, not a Jet or fighter jet regardless the kind of engine they put in them.

If your argument is " Tucanos have jet engines", then maybe you have a point, but they don't call them jets, they call them turboprops.



This topic is not about a fighter jet, it's about the A-29 Super Tucano turboprop aircraft so stop mixing up the discussion or trying to confuse people just because of engine variations.

Tucano is a Turboprop aircaraft, not a Jet and they don't call them jets, they call them Turboprops.


lol @ I have mastered jet engine /rocket tech since I was 8 years old so you can't argue this field with me ..its my passion....these village Igbos won't kill pesin with lafta sha

SalamRushdie:


A jet in aircraft classification is any fixed winged aircraft utilizing any variation of jet engine technology as it's power plant but you seem seem to make it sound like the word " jet " in jet fighter classifies an airframe solution of some sort ..Oga if I mount a jet power plant on any fixed wing aircraft that plane immediately becomes a jet powered aircraft , you have clearly brainwashed your self into think Jet is an airframe design instead of propulsion .. Do you even know what a Jet engine is? Can you even tell the difference between a jet engine an a rocket ... Have you ever wondered why rocket powered planes or crafts are not called jets?

GodFreyinNORSE:


The Tucano plane is the best flying weapon for counter insurgency. You don't fight insurgents with jet. America and many tech advance countries owns it. Get your fact right.

Is the Tucano a Turboprop aircraft or a Fighter Jet?

The one I don't understand is the fact that the jets will not be delivered until 2020. Does it mean insurgency will not be quelled before then? We'll keep wallowing in the insecurity that had persistently plagued the country until 2020 when the jets will arrive abd then be deployed into the war against terrorists? Why d hurry to buy weapons that will not be available for use whilst the problem those weapons are supposed to solve are upon us?

GodFreyinNORSE:
The negotiation for this plane started since the last regime. Unfortunately, the GEJ administration couldn't strike a deal with the erstwhile US regime wjo slammed Nigeria Military with Human Abuse. However, Buhari administration continued on the negotiation and has successfully strike a deal. The deal is not just a plane but comes with support, training and maintenance.

Firstly, the market price of the plane cost $10m. That is just the price of a single unit. We have not added the configurations, the cost of training personnels, spare parts, maintenance, bombs and rockets. From what I heard, this plane is coming with thousands of bombs and rockets, this is coming at a cost.

The warplane is not guguru and epa which you buy and simply eat. Nigeria is not technologically buoyant enough to maintain or fabricate spare parts for planes. We do not have the skills of building our own bombs or rockets. We do not have the the talents that can fly warplane without proper trainings from the manufacturer. These are what added to the cost.

Think about it... You want to buy a phone that worth $100 from Aliexpress, this phone can arrive at $200 when we add more more ram, rom, tscard, screen guide, mouse, touch pen, mode of delivery (dhl, fedex and destination), system upgrade and modification of system. This will add more to the initial cost.

So we all need to throw sentiment away and ask questions. The senate are angry because they do not have pay cuts. And Government is paying directly to US Government for the planes without intermediaries unlike what was obtained in previous government.

SalamRushdie:


The classification " fighter jet " is a military role classification.. Embrear markets the Tucano as a ground support attack aircraft but if any military decides to use it in an air superiority role then it automatically can be designated as jet fighter by that military which would be a bad decision because lacks the speed and manuveurability to out class aircraft purposeful designed for this role ...to close out I will say the Tucano is not a fighter jet but it's a jet aircraft

So if it's your money you will buy one at 40m dollars instead of the open market price of 10m dollars? because it will carry bomb as big as your head?

They have other platforms like helicopters,, jets, drones and manpower to keep fighting BH with for now.

My point is, why not go for weapons that can be put to immediate use rather than breach the constitution for something that is of no immediate use? In other words the government is telling us that there is no end in sight to the madness going on so what was the basis of his campaign that he'd end boko haram in 3 months of his coming to power? Did they campaign with tuscano jets?

If they actually market it as a multi role military aircraft then any military that put it into an interceptor or air superiority role can designate it a fighter jet but that's not for me to call , the basis of my submissions here is to clarify the wrong notion a lot of people have about turbo props and I hope I have corrected that
