This is easily the most heavily armed and sophisticated aircraft in the history of the Nigerian air force for a light attack aircraft, which is melodramatic. Imagine having a 4th gen aircraft's with such incredible array of weaponry. https:///ZoXppjnjFR

God bless Buhari
God bless Nigeria
I know some corrupt elements Will wish that the money would have been shared instead of buying these planes.
Had it been those thieves bought something like this in their 16 wasted yrs,by now we would have moved to another level.
I know some pigs are in pain now.
I cant forget when Abuja was a no go area because of boko haram.
God bless Buhari.

angry

I once jumped out of a plane (not a jet) without a parachute...

TheFacelessMan:
I was there .... my life flashed before my very eyes.

Trees coming at me ( or I to them ?) at speeds of over 150km/hr shocked

"Is this the end" ? I thought.

I cried out to the pilot but he had slumped in the cockpit....

I quickly dashed to the exit , took what i thought to be a parachute ...

Alas, i was wrong. undecided It turned out to be just an umbrella.

I opened it with the wind whistling like a banshee in the throes of climax, moaning and groaning.


...and then i woke up! angry

I'm truly happy with and for Nigeria
But do you know Russia recently lost a helicopter and it's 4 crew members?
Why am I saying this,
We spend so much on a helicopter that can be brought down on its first outing but fail to see the end of a WAR that could have been dealt with with better ways since 2006, 2010 and all throughout GEJ'S tenure. Now GEJ wanted to negotiate with BH boys and they named Buhari as one person/emissary they'd respect and listen to. Fast forward to 2020 Buhari has been in charge for over 5 years without any visible difference between himself and GEJ, even while the later has had no military experience and had to rely on the technical and expert advice from the entire military and NAS. I kid you not this Tucano while cool will never solve our problem with BH. We know but we feign loyalty to Buhari as though he's the best thing after sliced bread and blueband.


Our security is in a deep pit (its not well with our security, pun intended between pit and well) that we need strong able hands to pull it out firmly but gently.
Curb the internal snitches within the military, prosecute sponsors, nip the lucrative side of the BH war that has turned several people to arms dealer, cooks, informants and village raiders, pay and cater for the soldiers and front line personnel, engage idle youths in that region and around the country so they don't become ready recruits, ensure Muslim clerics don't teach messages that incite these ideologies that everything outside Islam is haram and jihad is good and die once and win 7 virgins forever, among several other suggestions that are workable.

People underestimate this fighter plane because it's a propeller plane not knowing that it's a lot more functional and sophisticated than it looks
