What an insult,and ignorant people are already celebrating,the same US that gave free f16 sophisticated fighters to Egypt is now supervising the sale of a lowly made in Brazil propeller fighter to Nigeria,well they kuku know that Nigerians are dumb people. See link when they gave free F16 fighters to Egypt,they could have atleast sold us better jet fighters than that Brazilian made plane,after all,we are buying it,Nigeria should go ahead and buy MIGs from Russia,enough of this insult. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/01/22/gift-us-f-16-fighter-jets-en-route-to-egypt-amid-criticism.html 7 Likes 1 Share

MrEgbegbe: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-nigeria-arms-factbox-idUSKCN0XX09U The administration of U.S. President Barack Obama is seeking to approve the sale of up to 12 A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft to Nigeria to help its fight against Boko Haram, the Islamist extremist group that has pledged loyalty to Islamic State. Here are some facts about the aircraft: An agile, propeller-driven plane, the Super Tucano is in wide use in Africa, Latin America and elsewhere. The plane is manufactured by Embraer S.A. (EMBR3.SA), a Brazilian aerospace conglomerate. A second production line is in Florida, in a partnership between the privately-held, U.S.-based Sierra Nevada Corp. of Sparks, Nev., and Embraer. More than 200 Super Tucanos are operated by 10 nations, according to Embraer. The plane is used for training and security, surveillance, reconnaissance and counter-insurgency missions. The plane can carry a wide array of armaments, including precision-guided munitions, is equipped with advanced avionics, communications and sensors and can operate from remote, unpaved airstrips. It has a maximum speed of 590 km per hour (367 mph) and a flight ceiling of 35,000 feet (6.6 miles). Militaries in Afghanistan, Angola, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Indonesia and Mauritania fly the Super Tucano. Guatemala, Senegal, Ghana, Mali and Lebanon have ordered the aircraft, according to Embraer. ALSO IN WORLD NEWS Tillerson faces tough talks in Moscow amid increased tensions Families gather after Egypt church attack, state of emergency approved The first four of 20 aircraft destined for Afghanistan was delivered in 2016. Colombia has used the aircraft in its long war against leftist FARC rebels. A Super Tucano operated by the Indonesian Air Force crashed on the island of Java on Feb. 10, killing two crew members and two civilians. The cause of the crash is under investigation. The Super Tucano costs more than $10 million each and the price can go much higher depending on the configuration. It is powered by a Pratt & Whitney (UTX.N) Canada PT 6 engine. Embraer declined comment on the unit costs. (Reporting by Jonathan Landay, Warren Strobel, Phil Stewart) |

Boko Haram are Nigerians Nigeria is only country in the world which buys war materials and train its soldiers to fight and kill Nigerians ubder any guise, Nigeria is country where Fulani used its soldiers to restructure politically. But in a democracy, Fulani refuse all overtures to restructure the country democratically. Instead Nigeria armed forces are deployed to kill off people asking for reforms or secession. 1 Like |

We made our self folly in their sight. Imagine my country that partakes in 80% of peacekeeping missions in Africa but still we have no special consideration.

LionDeLeo: be you in north or south, the war planes can destroy you. Boko Haram is a creation of those 12 northern Nigeria sharia states who adopted sharia criminal laws and strive to impose Islam to all in Nigeria. Trump wants jihadists destroyed. IPOB does not have disadvantage here. IPOB should be happy over it. |

snipesdam: The aircraft is multirole and cheap operational cost at $500 dollars an hour. But what I don't understand is why we are buying this featherweight aircraft for $50 million each when it cost less than $20 million, according to defense websites. |
