Nigeria has taken delivery of some military gunships following the arrival of the Antonov aircraft from Russia. The airlift cargo aircraft bearing the 2 additional brand new Mi-35M helicopter gunships touched down at the Nigerian Air Force NAF Base in Makurdi, Benue state at exactly 12.20pm.

Top military personnel were on ground to take delivery of the brand new helicopter gunships.

Receiving the aircraft at the flight line of the Tactical Air Command (TAC) of the NAF Base, in Makurdi, on Monday, Chief of Aircraft Engineering, NAF Headquarters, Abuja, AVM Abdulganiyu Olabisi, disclosed that the newly-acquired aircraft would, in a few days time, be assembled and taken to Kaduna where they would be officially inducted as part of the 54th NAF Day celebration.

“We are aware of the prevailing security situation in the country and the effort the federal government is making to ensure that every part of Nigeria is safe and secured. It is part of this concerted effort that the NAF is taking delivery of a second batch of two MI35M Combat helicopters from Russia.

“The helicopters in a few days from now will be assembled. We are happy that we have a team of Russian engineers who are going to assist in the reassembling of these helicopters. Thereafter, they would be taken to Kaduna where they will be officially inducted as part of the 54th NAF Day celebration. Thereafter, the helicopters will be deployed to conflict zones,”

Also speaking, Director, Public Relations and Information, NAF Headquarters Abuja, AVM Olatokunbo Adesanya said that the MI-35M helicopter is one of the most sophisticated aircrafts in the category of the MI-35 gunships which has a unique feature of night fighting capacity.

Imagine, only two? Have you stopped buying from US or is it because the Senate questioned the Treasury? Again, you bought it to combat evil yet you wana take it to Kaduna for induction & maybe after the killings might have wiped out Benue Residents, you will then fly them like a Projectile-Sport to Benue? Please, can someone tell these Nigerians that they reason counter-clockwise.

These are needed to smoke out those Fulani terrorists who keeps killing people / grabbing lands in Benue and the middle belt.

But will NA do it? Your guess is as good as mine.

Let's go there...

The fear of impeachment and resignation is the beginning of wisdom

Sai Baba.

Money that goes into security alone is unending. I pray God will give this country the perfect peace we ever deserves. And may God expose all the sponsors of Boko Haram and Herdsmen, they shall find no peace until they cry out for help.

You expect Buhari to order such on his kinsmen?

Bros forget that cos he wouldn't do it even if they are from Libya, Niger etc

Well maybe they'll use it to drop flyers stating "ACCOMMODATE YOUR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN"

Buhari being a known tribal bigot

Let this wake up all the dead victims of killer herdsmen.

In your dreams

Benue people are about to be extinct.

Buhari will try to wipe them all out with this. The fulani terrorists are not doing a good enough job so far!

If you think am crazy ask the people of taraba.

Much better than the previous one lets use them wisely

This is not because of herdsmen. Your jihad will fail.
