Reference:


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.

This feature of low speed, low altitude is a disaster nah as BH is known to use AAG. Or is there something im missing

I know Nigerians will never learn even in midst of hunger that common Nigerians are experiencing. I know even youthful Nigerians will argue over two parties that have done nothing to impact the life of that common man on the streets. Even though I hoped that this untold hardship we are experiencing during the lockdown will help adjust our line of thoughts, I still had a feeling that we are already used to suffering and we will still argue over APC and PDP. I'm not sorry to say this, Nigerians deserve all they are going through!

It is easy to reel out the names of modern aircrafts you have heard of or read about, but do you know how much those things you mentioned are sold for and do you think they are sold to just anybody or any country that wants them? You don't seem to know about sales of defense equipment.


MansoryMX:


Are you fuckkking kidding me! You know nothing about fighter jet. Do you know what;

Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. Origin: United States.

Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. Origin: United States. ...

Sukhoi Su-57. Origin: Russia. ...

Chengdu J-20. Origin: China. ...

Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. Origin: United States. ...

Eurofighter Typhoon. Only 3 of any of these can wipe out the entire Nigeria military, so shut up abeg.

Turbo propeller plane to be delivered in 2021. Nonsense and ingredients, even Rebel Biafrans retrofitted similar aircraft in 1968 and used it to bomb Nigeria Army targets. Always celebrating mediocrity. Chadian soldiers destroyed all Boko Haram bases in Chad without waiting Tucano or F35 jets.

This Tucano fraud was used to grant Buhari audience to meet Trump at the white house during which Trump called him Lifeless person

Many Nigerians are perpetually bitter, and their opinions should never really be taken seriously by any sensible person. The most difficult man to wake is the one forcefully feigning sleep!

A moment ago, the complaint was that no equipment have been procurred for the military in the last 4 years. The govt then shows some new ground and air military hardware procured, and now the wailing has instantly changed to "US procures equipment without making noise".

Again, Nigerian military has been fighting and killing bokoharam without noise for years, but then Chad suddenly kills 100 bokoharam terrorists and these same Nigerians run into a deranged frenzy carnival, hailing Chad and mocking Nigerian military.

A week later, Nigerian military decides to do what these pathetic fellows want by showing gory pictures of terrorists murdered in battle; and then the same fellows who just hailed Chadian military 2 weeks ago are cursing Nigerian military again saying they're posting battle on social media. Pathetic humans!
People don't care anymore.
Do the damn job.
We have been seeing some crappy millitary equipments and dead bodies every week. I forgot that we also see forgiven and rehabilitated boko haram members too.
Is that what we send u to do?
When America killed Osama, we just heard the news.
When Chad invaded, we just heard the news. Give us the good news instead of trying to justify where the money allocated to your ministry has gone to.

If they are not equal to the task, they should call chad for help afterall they have done the main work for them.
Mtcheew.

I thought u have changed. Seem like all of u who professed they are disappointed in the govt swallowed their words again as soon as abba kyari died.

Wailers beware:

There are fighter jets for different purposes.You buy based on what you need and not what others are buying.

The A-29 is perfect for counterinsurgency.

About the A-29

The A-29 Super Tucano is the gold standard for light attack, combat and reconnaissance aircraft. Built in the U.S. by Sierra Nevada Corporation and its partner, Embraer Defense & Security, the A-29 has been selected by 15 Air Forces worldwide including Afghanistan and Lebanon. The A-29 is a versatile and powerful turboprop aircraft and is known for its rugged and durable design, which allows it to perform operations from unimproved runways and at forward operating bases in austere environments and rugged terrain. The A-29 is the only light attack aircraft in the world with a U.S. Air Force Military Type Certificate.

before spewing trash do your findings.
it's first flight was 1999 and was finally introduced to operation in year 2003.
it is quite disgraceful to declare it a ww2 fighter.
besides it is meant for attack and "counter insurgence fight, which is why Nigeria went for it.

Why is Nigeria buying a turbo jet for highly inflated prices.
Obsolete turbo jets.

Why not get the SU-25, if you need weapons in that grade?

Ask yourself, did Chad need plane to decimate boko haram? Or you didn't read about the feat chadian army achieved recently?

I don't think Nigeria need F 22 to fight boko haram. US also use the aircraft to fight the taliban in Afghanistan.

I think they were using it as training and some were delivered to Afghanistan but as not their main anti insurgency aircraft. If Nigeria was buying A-10 Warthogs though I would be jumping for joy.

It's a pity you do not know the difference between genuine criticism and just irrational pointless wailing and nagging; what you and many others here are doing is the latter. You wouldn't see me coming here to hail anybody but I just get irritated when I see meaningless wailing and baseless criticism born out of nothing but deep prejudice. That I say I'm disappointed in the government doesnt automatically mean I should throw away common sense and decency to join the herd mentality of fellows spewing nonsense daily in the guise of criticism... I'm sorry there's nothing honourable about such behaviour.

Nigerian military has been fighting and killing bokoharam for over 8 years now, but Chad military pulls one onslaught and all of sudden, Chad has become US marines that Nigerian army should go and beg for training?

You claim you just want them to just do their job and be quiet. But obviously with your kind of mentality, no matter what they do, no matter how well they do it, you will always pick a fault.

If a former General cannot arm his country to the teeth to rival with South Africa and Egypt, then it's a crying shame.

By now, Nigeria should projecting air and sea power, right up to South Africa and even to the Mediterranean.
