So you honestly believe Jonathan bought no weapons or aircrafts or naval ships. Why not ask a serving military officer.
Why is buhari unwilling to release the report of the arms probe constituted? Guys think.

Some comments here on this issue are unnecessarily nasty.
Yes it is not F 22 or F35 or anything ultramodern or a stealth aircraft BUT for our regional warfare, it is good enough to get the job done.
It is easy to forget that countries that spend so much on defense stuff like stealth airplanes are not in Nigeria's league, they are very rich nations. Nigeria may be big compared to other Africa nations but our foreign reserve for instance is less than half of the wealth of the richest individual on earth - just one person o.
So we need to comment sensibly. The Tucano is a welcome development no matter how small it is, it puts us in a different league in Africa at least. Let's not be foolishly sarcastic. We aren't planning on fighting US or Russia, we just want to Ridenour country of terrorists.

Reference:


They were selected because of their low speed and low operating altitude which is ideal for close air support of ground troops.

Also fixed aircraft like the Tucano are more reliable and cheaper to operate than rotary wing aircraft. Reason why America cannot retire the A-10 Warthog, though it is jet engined, it just doesn't have a present battlefield replacement.

But of course the US will not sell us the A-10 (they rarely export it) so this is the next best thing.


This thing doesn't loom like it can survive aa guns or even small arms fire. An su25 is better value for money, has better armour and is also suitable for close air support. If I was an na pilot I wouldn't be interested in flying this thing.

I know Nigerians will never learn even in midst of hunger that common Nigerians are experiencing. I know even youthful Nigerians will argue over two parties that have done nothing to impact the life of that common man on the streets. Even though I hoped that this untold hardship we are experiencing during the lockdown will help adjust our line of thoughts, I still had a feeling that we are already used to suffering and we will still argue over APC and PDP. I'm not sorry to say this, Nigerians deserve all they are going through!

Apart from Egypt, Algeria and maybe Morocco none of those countries have suitable air force, remove 12 gripen from south african airforce which about only 4 are airworthy at the moment their air force is a good as garbage, Tunisia? Don't even start
