Oh, right! I forgot that only terrorists will be affected in a NUCLEAR EXPLOSION and ordinary innocent Nigerians will not be affected.

Do you have any idea the nuclear radiation dispersal radius from a nuclear bomb?
Don't you know that When a nuclear bomb explodes, the blast carries radioactive material into the surrounding area?
Do you have any idea how deadly or dangerous the fallout from nuclear radiation is? So In fighting insurgency you now also wipe out your own people?

Is it that you guys just talk for the sake of talking or you are well and truly illiterates?

Nice effort so far by the Buhari's government but let's step up to the F-I6 and other supersonic jets class. Tucanos can easily be shot down by surface to air missiles from BH terrorists
Seems naptu2 has become the mouth piece of the government.
One point of correction naptu2, the Fighter jets are not only used for fighting amongst jet planes ( also known as dog fight), they can be equipped with air to surface missiles in destroying enemies position on the ground.
You assumption that Fighters plane are too fast and hence unsuitable for boko haram operations is faulty too. If you understand how planes are weaponized and the ranges of their weaponry, you will understand that some bombs/rockets are guided and some have heat seeking capabilities. So it doesn't matter how fast the fighter is going, it will always deliver its payload.
Llke raccoon rightly mentioned, this tucano can easily be shoot out of the sky like a sitting duck.
Not all of us are dunce when it comes to matters like these.
The best weapons in my opinion, in this situations are drones. They are silent ( can stay high above, hovering silently to deliver its payload) and they are unmanned. The only set back is that the American versions are damn expensive! Chinese versions may not be so efficient.

Btw what are those f00ls doing there wasting our scarce resources?

A pic of the reaper drone. Dey for just add the word grim to the reaper make e complete cheesy

It's fantasy. Comic book stuff. It's the reason that I don't take arguments here seriously.


The United States Air Force began a COIN programme and the Super Tucano was the winner, but these people who read comic books, play video games and depend on Hollywood movies know better than the US Air Force.

They want aircraft carriers, reaper drones, F16s, nuclear weapons and all that and they will pay for it with comic books. One of them is now talking about drones, not knowing that we already have Wing Loong drones.

These people know more than the pilots that are actually flying combat missions in the North East (would you believe it).

I just look at all of these as entertainment. I read their comments and laugh.

Sambisa forest covers an approximate Lange area of 520km squared.

A 1 megaton nuclear bomb creates a firestorm that can cover 100 square miles. A 20 megaton blast's firestorm can cover nearly 2500 square miles.

100 square miles is about half the size of Sambisa but since it is a flatland there would be no disruption to the ensuing firestorm that such would cause so expect the devastation to be well beyond the quoted figures.

I understand what's nuclear bombs are and also know they carry deadly radiation...but I'm still not clear why a normal innocent citizens will choose to reside in sambisa forest... which we all know...the guys have large based in that forest...

cheesy the funny thing here is that they even think they know more than the manufacturers of these aircrafts and why they have chosen to use different aircrafts for specific sorties.

They think that any plane can be used anywhere. I wonder then why we have supersonic jets, regular jet fighters, bombers, Attack aircraft, light attack aircraft and the likes of them.

Having the right tools for specific sorties win battles and not just throwing anything into the fray.

Based on easy maneuverability, quicker response, precision during close air support the Super Tucano is it for insurgency issues.

They want to use a Lockheed or a tomcat for an insugency issue forgetting the fact that war costs money

Ogbeni this discussion pass you. Kindly let it go.

We needed an aircraft which would carry out precision attacks and the Super Tucano comes with just that especially since it is equipped with laser guided missiles.

Laser translates to precision. Once there is Intel regarding their specific location, the aircraft makes the job easy without having need to have even one ground troop in the area. This way our troops would not be overworked

I see you really don't know your geography at all.

Sambisa forest is right inside borno and just about 37miles from Maiduguri which is the state capital.

Putting this information side by side with my last comment you will see that your train of thought is not proper. This is not about evacuating Sambisa but about an entire state Ogbeni.

No talk again abeg.

I must be prescient!

Well, not really, it's just that I have been involved in this kind of arguments too many times in the past 10 years.

I didn't read beyond the first sentence of that troll's post (yes, I know that it's the same troll), but I wrote "Reaper drones" in my reply.

I was just scrolling through my mentions and looking for a particular post when I saw a picture of a Reaper drone.


How did I know that he was going to post that?

Well, there is a system that I've noticed in this comic book fantasy world.


If there is a thread about Nigeria buying a naval ship, no matter what that ship does, someone will talk about aircraft carriers and submarines.


If the thread is about attack helicopters, someone will talk about Apaches.

If it's about drones, someone will talk about Reaper Drones.

And if it's about fighter jets, someone will talk about F14s, F15s, F16s, etc.


It's what they've seen in the comic books, Hollywood movies, cartoons, etc. It's what they fantasize about.

Oh, yes, then someone must also say that what Nigeria bought is a World War 2 era equipment.

It's obligatory.

This is a bribe buy. I Know the Nigerian government are preparing for a conventional war,they earlier told us they bought JF-17 thunder to fight Boko haram. How can you use a super Sonic,multirole(majorly air superiority) fighter jets for counter insurgency?JF 17 is armed with more of air to air missiles. Do Boko Haram have fighter jets? What super tucano can do for us helicopter gunships and wing loong drone they purchased earlier can do better. At a time, the US government was not friendly with the Nigerian government,they decided to buy unneeded plane from them to be in the US good book. That is why they told us that no one died in Lekki. Money moves the world. That is why you are seeing all these shenanigans

You idiots had to waste millions if not billions to go for a jamboree all in the name of oversight in the current country's harsh economic realities.

The Americans don't put much stock in the tucanos, possibly why they agreed to sell it to us.

At the very least, if we have gotten the SU-25 frogfoot, it would have been a more competent plane and a better use of money.


Agreed. The US was looking to phase out the A-10 at some point since it's been in service since the 1960s, but they stopped because the Navy absolutely loves the aircraft...
