Faithful007:
Unconfirmed reports saying that NAF carried out airstrikes in Benin.

Btw NAF operational readiness is impressive. Deploying barely under two hours. Probably they were already on standby against insurgent attacks.

Nigerian Navy, Exercise crocodile lift.

Except for the US economic sanctions on Russia for the 2022 invasion which is pretty recent, I don’t think U.S. sanctions any country just for arms deals with Russia. What usually happens is that US might block you from its own flagship/equivalent military programs which isn’t really a sanction.

Even the current economic sanctions can be averted if you avoid paying directly in cash.

GreenandGold:
When South Africa was on a weapons purchasing spree in the late 90s, we avoided any US platform. They tried all kinds of sweeteners but we ignored them simply because the US can overnight become your enemy and every system you bought from them could simply become scrap metal.

In all honesty, I don't und why any African country could subject itself to such short-sightedness.

A whole brigadier was embarrassed by teen terrorist.
What an embarrassment for the army and the country as a whole.
The way the army rush out to tag news media report fake, only for them to be proven right.
Now tell me why will the majority of the ignorant population believe army report concerning this fight against these outlaws.
The army re eager to call any report fake than to protect its human asset.
Isn't this a failure on the army, thesame army that re always arrogant in the face of civilian. Always claiming one useless superiority, they spend more time boosting their ego than getting the job done.
We won't have mind the ego and superiority thing if the enemy re fearful of them like they want the civilian to be towards them but NO na one useless superiority they go dey claim.
Superiority ontop nothing.
All institutions feels garbage, they re all weak nd no intention to fix it, they prefer it like that and any intention to fix it is always resisted, I have never seem such a thing in any serious country.

Faithful007:
Oh okay. Cause i already felt that with that sale price. There must have been a catch with spare parts, munitions and maintenance.

Faithful007:
You can't compare these deals on face value.

Nigerian Air Force M-346FA spotted flying with 2 x drop tanks, lightning pod and Air to Air missiles.

Faithful007:
But your government have been fighting the bandits/terrorists apparently. Do you suddenly now love them?

Btw. The US wont invade Nigeria. That's not going to happen. But drone strikes will likely happen.

Odunayaw:
Uhh you're making his point.

18 supersonic multirole was gotten only $700m more than 24 transonic trainer jets.

He is pointing the discrepancy to show they had a better deal.

jl115:
Not comparable

Are the old unit retired or they are the new unit
