Lets talk substantively that means where possible to reference our view, deductions and strategy.

You have been here long enough, you have knowledge, either by participation and or association, I am similar but European biased.Your expectations shaped by your engagements i want to believe at Nigerian military bases and with multiple discourse with NCO's and senior officers alike.

My experience has historical inheritance as well association participation albeit it is European biased but i did a lot of hanging out with USA combatants at a plethora of bases across Europe but mainly Germany and Europe. My expectations are shaped by that environment primarily nonetheless i have association with Nigerian senior officers as well some who trained in the UK.

Having this in mind, in detail how would you spend $600 million in whatever way you want to bring an end to this war , reduce our unacceptable casualties and if not totally annihilate Boko but give ourselves over riding advantage to end this war ASAP.
I don't get your point huh
His $600m too much for the Tucanos or his it a waste huh
You can't win with UAV drones alone in any CION, even developed armies with there UAV technology and might, they still suffer heavy casualties.
Don't forget the Tucano is an ISR platform on itself. The $600m is what we need, not forgoing other assets like the UAV.
With the UAV base in Niger Republic, western and European forces are not changing anything in Mali, there forces have suffered heavy casualties and likewise the host countries. So please stop using historical inheritance from European or western power as your bases.

It becomes relevant because after 5 years in the waiting we are finally going to get the first 3 or so A-29 Super Tucano AT LAST, if we believe the press they are FINALLY on the way.

And maybe we might just get the next 9 this decade hopefully.

Maybe bitter truth is very hard for you to swallow and you prefer sugar coated lies and disinformation, the choice is yours.
If there is any best air assets for CION; definitely it's going to be the A29 super tucano. Leave it or take, yes in time to come it's going to change the tide of the war against insurgency.
We are getting the first six camo batch, not 3 or so mate wink

How many moons ago did I raise this issue, not with assumptive sentiment based preference but substantively. Using "Best value" and best use of resources for the greatest impact and efficacy .

I got dogs abuse and a barrage of vitriolic rhetoric sent my way, with you mostly on the side of negativity.

Nigeria is facing an existent crisis and somebody is spending $600 million to acquire A-29 Super Tucano and add ons, for an aircraft that has taken 5 years or thereabouts for the 2/3 few to arrive. That incomprehensibly SHOCKING.

I also talked about the possibility of them being susceptible to rudimentary AA Fire from the plethora of enemy technical on the ground. Do not forget this is an aircraft that is supposed to be for CAS - close Air Support. The noise from the Tucano makes its presence well know before it even arrives on the battle scene it is much slower than an Alpha jet , so how safe is it for pilots, time will tell.

The USAF and NATO do not use any of these turbo prop aircraft beyond the experimental, I wonder why huh

I over flogged the comparison of the Wing Loong 2 UAV's nonetheless Pakistan has just bought 48 estimated cost plus munitions and technology transfer $65 million.

If 48 Wing Loong 2 UAV's were deployed in the North of Nigeria it would literally change the entire course of this war and reduce our casualties tremendously and with ground support almost end Boko Haram.
Everyone knows we need more UAV, more eyes in the sky.
Spending $600m on the Tucanos is not a waste, we need them has well. That is where I totally disagree with you, from your point of view you're calling the acquisition of these birds waste of money. Which I totally disagree with you mate.
Let's assume we get those UAV, what are you going to use to prosecute the targets, his the the UAVs. We need the UAV and has well birds both fixed wing and the rotary wing.
For me I'll rather go for technology transfer either from Turkey, China or the Israelis. We are on our way to the right path.
We need more UAV and as well has more birds to replace our ageing fleets

At all.
If you do not serve more than 4 to 5 years deployment in the N.E, know that the possibility of 2nd deployment is high and possible. Am speaking for the Army.
The Airforce and Navy is 2 to 3 years highest.

Crazy stuff. Those Tucanos are sorely needed now.
Badly and the UAV.
Honestly I wish we could acquire more UAVs honestly. These banditry issue is getting out of hand, we need more eyes in the sky.

OPERATION HADIN KAI: THEATRE COMMANDER CHARGES TROOPS TO DOMINATE THE THEATRE AGAINST BHTs/ISWAP TERRORISTS

...Lauds troops' efforts in Mallam Fatori, Damasak

The Theatre Commander (TC) Joint Task Force North East Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), Major General Christopher Musa has charged troops in the theatre of Operations to dominate their areas of responsibility against Boko Haram (BHT) and Islamic State West Africa Province terrorists (ISWAP) in order to ensure total return of normalcy and peace to the northeast.

Maj Gen Musa gave the charge recently, during his visit to troops of Sector 3 in an effort to appraise ongoing operational activities, as well as, to motivate troops of 68 Battalion and 5 Brigade deployed in the frontlines at Mallan Fatori and Damasak respectively. The visit was in continuation of his familiarization and operational tour of troops' deployment at the frontlines in the North East theatre.

The TC, who was briefed on the operational engagements, logistics and challenges of the Battalion by the Commanding officer, Lt Col Victor Ashinze, expressed appreciation to the troops for their selfless sacrifices in the fight against terrorism and insurgency. He tasked them to be more resilient and steadfast in the conduct of their operations. Gen Musa noted, that as border towns between Nigeria and Niger Republics, the locations are strategic and must therefore be dominated by the troops. He assured the troops of the determination of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya to ensure all requisite logistics and support for the successful conduct of the ongoing counter insurgency war are provided. The TC further advised the troops to remain focused, disciplined and conduct themselves professionally.

He also visited and commiserated with Wounded-in-Action troops, who are receiving medical attention. The TC was accompanied on the visit by Commander Sector 3, Brigadier General Godwin Mutkut and other Principal Staff Officers from the Theatre Headquarters.

The Ogun State police command has arrested a suspect for kidnapping a military officer and stripping him off his uniform and using it to commit a crime.

The incident occurred at Odo Pako Ota, in Ado Odo Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State.

The suspect was alleged to have made an attempt to snatch a Dane gun from a vigilante operative.

The police spokesperson in the state, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi said the suspect Waliu Oloyede was arrested following a distress call received by the Divisional Police Officer, Sango Ota divisional headquarters, CSP Godwin Idehai that vigilante men are having issues with an army officer at Odo Pako area of Ota.

“Upon the report, the DPO led his team to the scene where the suspect, who dressed in full military camouflage uniform with the rank of W02 but could not give a satisfactory account of himself, was apprehended and brought to the station.

“Upon interrogation, the suspect was unable to give an account of how he got the military uniform, or address of the unit where he is serving, hence he was detained for impersonation”

“While in detention, police got an information that the suspect and others at large abducted W/o2 military officer at about 11:30 pm of 16th July 2021and took him to their hideout in Alagbado Lagos State where he was stripped off his uniform, collected his identity card, his three ATM cards and phone before the victim escaped from them,” the police statement read in part.

Oyeyemi said the suspect wore their victim’s uniform and used it to commit another crime before they were arrested.

The commissioner of police CP Edward Ajogun has ordered the transfer of the suspect to an anti-kidnapping unit of the state criminal investigation and intelligence department for further investigation.

The CP also ordered a massive manhunt for other accomplices with the view to bringing them to justice.

God this guy got balls, look at the shoes his wearing on the camouflage and is posture.
