When smart people talking about The Nigerian Military ... Im more and more confident the A-29 are coming

No need for confidence, its a reality already, Brazil has sold 3 Super Tucano A-29 aircraft to Nigeria, NAF pilots are training already, we can buy more from Brazil if we want, the slow steps from USA is not anything to worry about. Brazilian made Tucano warplanes will arrive NAF air base this 2017 for combat action. No bother to dey worry ya sef chief, all technical details have been discussed by NAF and Tucano owners, the deal has gone too far to fail and President Trump is ready to fight anybody that dreams of blocking Nigerian Tucano from USA after he authorized the Brazilian sale first for urgent delivery from Brazil ahead of USA.

this is what I am talking about. The army should order about 400 of this. Unlike some sub Saharan African indigenous MRAPS this looks very sophisticated. The metal work is far beyond what I expected.

By "some sub Saharan African indigenous MRAPS" you're referring to? Explain your case.

Do you even know what you're talking about? That's a V-shape hull so it doesn't matter where on the hull the explosion hits, the crew survives.

YeA it's a v shaped hull bla bla bla. Get a hold yourself mister and post us a picture of that vehicle surviving full blast on its v shaped hull. So once a hull is v shaped it equals crew survival even if it's made of a tin plate? So your opinion is that anything v shaped equals and effective mine resistance platform.

Not necessarily true. Such vehicles have survived bigger blasts (well the crew has survived). But then again, its not an exact science. Relatively small blasts have killed soldiers in quite heavily protected vehicles.

If the army/ FG doesn’t support this vehicle with orders, it’s the oracle of Arochukwu that will visit them, not me.

In fact the Nigerian police should order some
Road safety corps
NSCDC
Navy
Peace corps
VIO.
Civilians, we all need an ARa in our lives.
