Precisely the intended target. For the first time in years the Atmed forces is buying for fit not for drama/stealing. Fully loaded, this is far more effective than a jet fighter in the war against BH

Tell them.
Wonder what the jubilation is for.
USA and other countries buy military equipment for their armies and life continues as normal cos it's the normal thing to do.
Here, they repel boko haram, they post on social media, buy toy gun, post on social media but they fail to post the egunje.

The bad thing with freedom of speech is that even fools have something to say. With the abundant information available online, you cant just help yourself and learn about the capabilities and roles of the A-29 Super Tucano - you must bring yourself out.


People should try using their brains, its not illegal yet.

They were selected because of their low speed and low operating altitude which is ideal for close air support of ground troops.

Also fixed aircraft like the Tucano are more reliable and cheaper to operate than rotary wing aircraft. Reason why America cannot retire the A-10 Warthog, though it is jet engined, it just doesn't have a present battlefield replacement.

But of course the US will not sell us the A-10 (they rarely export it) so this is the next best thing.

Beautiful nonsense! ! I was thinking it's made in Nigeria

They will soon close door against you
Till now our military engineers can't produce anything. It's really a shame
