It ia not a combat gunship. It ia not a troop carrier. It ia not built for aerial surveillance
I doubt if it is armoured at base specs..

Yes they have bought or ordered a helicopter but for the war against insurgency... that is just poppycock....

Troops are in need of gunship and you're bringing in helicopters used by Caverton? You might as well employ Caverton to ferry your troops (Vice president and ministers) while buying gunships for our dear military.

Confused folks in military procurement, na so one take buy house for Dubai with isusu.

The nations Air Force has been in dire need of gun ship, that’s why this boys from the Maghreb has been kicking the ass of Nigerian army. Get these soldiers a well equipped mordern AH-64 Apache or an A129 mangusta gunship and a chinook that can deploy a quick response force and see them doing wonders.
I swear.
I was looking forward to seeing a gunship.
An 8 seater helicopter looks more like a transport aircraft.
This looks more like what they'll use to ferry osunbade around in his vote buying missions.

NAF is not buying A109 Power. They are buying A109M LUH. It's the military version of the stupid picture you posted here that they are buying. It will have an armoured cockpit, an auto canon, heavy machine guns, IR/EO for night attacks, rocket pods. It would be able to fire precision guided hydrarockets at targets.
