As the nation’s security forces battle insurgents and bandits across the country, the federal government has procured a total of 32 different types of fighter planes, combat helicopters, and associated platforms since 2015, a period of six years, according to statistics obtained by THISDAY.
[b][/b] And how many have they willingly given out to bandits to destroy within the same period?

Apart from the MI35 and the JF17, the other aircraft are waste of money.

Why buy transport and trainers
personally I think using an expensive jet in the type of low intensity war against Boko Haram is a no brainier,why spend billions on jets and helicopters that will be destroyed easily with a cheap RPG,such hide and seek guerilla war need top notch intelligence and surveillance,that is were UAVs perform most excellent,they are cheap,can stay airborne for 24hrs,they have capacity of covering hundreds of kilometers during day and night using infrared and thermal imaging, sometimes I wonder how this terrorists can move large bodies of men,gun trucks and motorcycles without the army knowing,the derived Savannah of northeastern region gives the army very good advantage it offers less hiding place unlike tropical jungles,it is laughable that they have only two drones to cover a huge theatre like borno state,the airforce supposed to have a brigade dedicated to UAVs with a commander,they must have the hot spots covered 24hrs for enemy movement with surveillance drones and also weaponized drones should be ready to attack and destroy,I marvel at the very brave pilots that will fly those slow propeller powered super tucanos into a warzone bristling with RPGs and anti aircraft cannons,it will be a kamikaze mission.

I am still surprised Pakistan was able to build such as far back as 03.
Pakistan ooo,Even though not as cutting edge as the F series by Lockheed M but them try no be small.

Why can't Nigeria build it's own fighters,bombers and missiles? What's the essence of having scientists and engineers in this country when they're useless. Science courses should be scrapped from our university system since they don't have use.

So u think the scientist and engineers will produce these fighter jet with their teeth. Do u know how much it cost to even design one of these machines.
Science course or scientist or engineers is not the problem, do they have the enabling environment to work.

US budget 700 billion dollars on security, slot of that money actually go into research. How much is ur govt spending on research?

Here in Nigeria to even join the Air Force as an engineer, u need to know someone that knows someone. Nigeria has a big problem but engineers are not the cause.

Pakistan that has acquired nuclear technology as at 1970's at the peak of the Kashmir crisis with India.

Don't joke with them on technology, though they've not been able to translate it to production of consumer goods.

We don't have the money and economy to spend too much on military hardware when we are the poverty capital of the world.

The highest priority of Nigeria right now should be eradicating poverty and curbing it, everything else will fall in place as our economy grows stronger.

Most Nigerians don't realise how poor Nigeria really is. We are blinded by this old notion of oil wealth. $60 oil today is not valuable as $20 oil in the 70's due to inflation and loss of purchasing power of the dollar and cost of construction. A dam that cost say $100m on 1970 will cost like $1bln today. Also our population has grown so large that its more difficult for the money to go around. Also we have more states now, so we spend much more on salaries and administration and have less to spend on development.

Done countries earn more dollars exporting flowers and coffee than Nigeria earns from oil.

And you keep rewarding those that crash it, even the pilots.

A pilot crashed a billion Naira fighter jet and the army is celebrating him.

You don't have sense, that single pilot is worth many times of the cost of the lost jet.
Worthless people like you can be lost and nobody will worry.

You're asking me if Nigeria is rich. Is NK rich?

NK's gdp isn't upto $150b,neither is its gnp.
There are many European countries that produce military software and hardware that aren't as rich as Nigeria in terms of GDP. Why those European countries seem to be very rich is because they have small populations and also use their money judiciously unlike Nigeria.

Wait, you think if Nigerian scientists/engineers could approach the government and present solid plans to build military hardware and software with prices better than the ones being spent to purchase from other countries the fg wouldn't fund them?

Nigerian scientists and engineers are useless,period.

So for your mind Nigerian government has interest in anything other than their selfish interests and lining their pockets? If Jesus himself provided Buhari with a plan to make Nigeria like UK in 10years, FG would throw that plan in the gutter and steal the money.

Botoom line though. Nigerias problems are many and they are all interconnected:

Financially Poor country
Corrupt government
Very poorly skilled manpower
Poor infrastructure (ports, roads, electricity, airports, etc)
Bloated civil service
Useless judiciary

It's not about solving one of these, but solving them all so that the country can begin to function properly.

Super Tucano is not world war 2 plane. It has an oldish design, but has relatively modern avionics. And it's the avionics that matters. It is designed for theatres of operations where the threat against it is relatively low, such as insurgency, border patrol, maritime security etc. That also keeps the cost down. It is not meant to be a air superiority or tactical fighter going up against f35, f22, su27 etc. THAT IS NOT THE PURPOSE. Aircraft are designed for their purpose and the design of the Tucano meets that purpose.
