The advanced world is gettin' F-35s, B2s and Su-35s, these ones still dey rock this outdated, pre-WWII jalopies they call planes.

Ordinary Biafran okwute + catapult or 1 well-aimed Shekau poisoned arrow sef can fall all these rubbish from the sky.

Shioor.

Hmmm!u have a point sha but the Nigerian airforce is trying to cut its coat according to its size as that's what it can afford to suit its budget.SHALOM

My guy, 4get cuttin' coat accordin' to cloth.

Warfare is not like buyin' a car. It's life or death in a split second.

An F-35 or F-15 can take down 10 Tucanos easy (I'm not exaggeratin'). The F-35 is stealth and cannot be easily detected by radar includin' 5th generation technology amongst others.

That $593m could have gotten them like 6 or 7 F-35s.

Nigeria would have been a regional threat instantly, not local champion.

Different planes for different purposes.

F-35: Strike
B2: Bomber
Su35: Air Superiority

The Super Tucano is not a WW2 antique, but a very modern Fourth Generation combat aircraft ideal for Counter Insurgency operations. Even the American are presently running trials for a new light Combat Air Support CAS aircraft in place of the A-10 Warthog. Of the 3 aircrafts being considered, the Super Tucano is one.

Those ones are even too expensive.
They could have gone for 7 or 8 F-15s

ocelot2006:


Do you have any idea how much the F-15 Eagle cost? The Americans will not even sell that Air Superiority aircraft to us, and frankly that aircraft is not what we need now. Funny thing though, the F-15 aircraft is a 1970s design while the Super Tucano is far more modern and is ideal for the operations our military runs from counter insurgency (like the Afghans military against the Talibans) and interdiction ops (like the Colombians who use same aircraft against the smuggling operations of the drug cartels).

You think anybody will sell F-35 & B2's to you? who do you think you are? Britain? your mumu no be here
You are fighting insurgency in low threat areas and you are talking about F-35, do you even understand what such platforms are built for and the cost of operating them?

our country is not @ war
Not since the civil war .
Why should we get the best of the best?

I don't know why Nigeria chooses to disgrace us all the time. 593 million can easily buy 10-14 su35 fighter jets. Which is one of the most advanced in the world. But instead, Nigeria chose to buy a fighter jet that belongs in the Museum.... The Buhari administration is a disgrace!!!!

This is sad for all parties involved.

Nigeria wasting money on 1939-1945 light aircrafts in 2017
. That is aircraft with 72 years old (as old as Buhari) technology before the advent of colour television. USA even hoodwinked them with the possibility of retrofitting these analog aircrafts with laser technology. LOL.

I hope Cameroun or Niger doesn't go rogue anytime soon because they can easily annex Nigeria. Boko Haram will shoot all these bicycles out of the sky soon assuming the bicycles don't crash and burn themselves. Those suckers could be heard from hundreds of miles away. Boko boys will just shoot them down with 50 cals.

I still don't understand why we're buying from US while the planes are made in Brazil?

why are we buying weapons from america that want nigeria to divide than ,make closer friends with the igbos??...

the biafrans built out of nothing ubunigwes,armored vehicles,bunkers and such.....why dont we ask the south yeasternes to build weapons for us??.?....

this is stvpidity....we always give the igbos the feeling that we dont value them,why.....

una cant tell me that the igbos cant patch something toghether for us,when even importing spare parts for 300million dollars....

by behaving like this we are giving the igbos the impression that we wan use the weapons on them..

this is realy stvpid.......

You see, when you feed yourself so much junks, it's a matter of time before you start questioning your sanity, guess you are there already

mofewilkie:


Yeah. Just read up on both.
You know your eggs bro.
This tucano is ideal for counter-insurgency.
The F-15 is more suited for aerial combat.

Maybe the person that suggested F-15/35 to us thinks Shekau fly jets
