The Super Tacano is a lightweight turboprop multirole combat aircraft more suited for air to ground support and surviellance missions.

It requires very short runway for take off and landings .


What in God's name are these idiots talking about specialized runway when the aircraft can even land in remote jungle grass fields?

The fact that they approached the US instead of the main manufacturer (Embrar) in Brazil just shows how corrupt, stupid and criminally insane these idiots running the armed forces are.

look at how u confidently spewed ignorance.

It wasn't Trump but the deep state swamp creatures from the Obama and Clinton era whom your Buhari negotiated the purchase of these aircrafts from an American Pentagon contractor instead of directly going to Brazil .

This deal was kickback for the Obama, Clinton and DNC crooks for propping and supporting Buhari in 2015.


The only time it will get to Trump is for final approval of the arms trade which was ratified and submitted by Obama swamp holdovers to Trump.

The whole deal stinks. And this runway clause is another fleecing. Is the US responsible for it's maintainace and operation?

Only God knows how many crooked deals Obama and Clinton are bennefiting from this useless APC govt.

Remember also that Buhari and the APC donated hefty sums to the Clinton presidential campaign .

The above lin is the US Federal Register detailing what we bought from the US government, how much we paid and what we are getting for our money.

We did not buy anything from Brazil, we bought the planes from the US and we paid the US government and we obtained receipt from the US government and the transaction is on the pentagon and the US federal register Arms sale Record and the US National Archives.


And the rest of the rest of your post represent the same ignorant rubbish you people saddle yourselves with?

The Senate Committee on Airforce, said on Thursday that Nigeria stood the risk of losing $493m paid to the United States for the purchase of Super Tucano fighter planes.

The panel said the nation’s runway at the moment was not up to the standard and could not carry the fighter jets.

The Federal Government had wired in $493m in 2018 to a US company to tackle insurgency and other security challenges facing the country.

The Vice-Chairman of the Senate Committee on Air Force, Senator Mike Nnachi, raised the alarm while presenting the 2021 budget report of the Air Force before the Senate Committee on Appropriation.

He told the lawmakers that when the Americans came to inspect the Kanji runway, recently, they complained that the facility did not have the capacity to carry the aircraft.

He, therefore, said there was the need to make provision for additional N9bn that would take care of the runway and aircraft or else Nigeria will lose the money and the aircraft.

Nnachi said, “It is a very serious issue, the Airforce personnel are running around. They have gone to the Finance Minister. They have also gone to the Central Bank of Nigeria, and they have gone to meet the Senate President because the money needed was not part of the main budget.

Idiot, the Super Tucano is manufactured by Brazilian Embraer Aircrafts

This is one click away.

You idiotic goat of a president went through a Pentagon contractor linked to the Clinton and Obama foundations.


This same company was granted the contract to supply Super Tucano aircrafts to Afghan forces by the Obama administration.

This is an elaborate compensation package to the Obama's or else what stopped your idiotic president from sourcing the aircraft directly from Brazil at much more lower cost?

Goat

masseratti:
stop saying rubbish oga, we all agree this Government is messed up, but when you guys come up with conspiracy theories, it makes all of us stupid and unobjective, Nigerian Government did not pay a dime to the US government under Obama, because Congress did not approve the sale, they paid after Trump signed an executive order approving the sale, so please stop lying up and down the Internet and be objective, PMB administration is incompent agreed but say things as it is and stop putting lies up and down the thread, how can Nigeria Government pay the US government when the US government didn't approve the transaction? How?

Your lord and saviour Trump approved it for his defense contractor friends.

I wired $493m to purchase a war boat.
I then realized my dock is not deep enough to harbour the boat. Oh well, shikena, Ive lost the $493m be dat.

Lol.

Waiting on zombies to blame ipob for the shallow dock.


If our military strategists could not determine specs and user and system requirements ahead of a big dollar purchase like this, how is their strategy to operate the aircraft equipment against bokoharam reliable? If they miscalculate on landing requirements they might miscalculate target and drop bombs in civilian urban centers thinking its bokoharam territory.

It is ipob fault.
