The first batch of 6 A-29 Super Tucano aircraft have departed the United States of America on Wednesday, 14 July 2021 enroute Nigeria. The 6 aircraft will be leapfrogged through 5 countries including Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Spain and Algeria before arriving their final destination in Nigeria towards the end of July 2021. An official induction ceremony of the aircraft into the inventory of the Nigerian Air Force is already being planned at a later date in August 2021 to be announced in due course. The Office of the Director of Public Relations and Information remains open to any inquiry regarding the arrival and induction of the aircraft.

Thank you.

Wey the jet? That one? Naija no get shame aswear

This doesn't looks sophisticated to me, more or less like a toy.

TUANKU:
Nice one.
But can't Nigeria afford an F16 at least?

What do we need F16 for? Are we fighting China or Russia?

Administration1:
Finally, we shall wipe out the remaining insurgents, both in The North and South

The essence of the Insurgency in the first place is the "Weapons" and the "Weaponry" ....

Capitalism will not wipe out the world ....

Earth is a living Planet ... She will cleanse herself if Homo Sapiens Wahala wan come be much ....

Bloods everywhere!!

TUANKU:

It's not every country that is deemed responsible and qualified to buy an F16 Figher jet.
.
The New York Times on May 18, 2016 opposed the U.S. sale of military aircraft to Nigeria in an editorial titled "Block the Sale of Warplanes to Nigeria"
.
The editorial cites a staffer to Senator Patrick Leahy as saying
“we don’t have confidence in the Nigerians’ ability to use them (the aircraft) in a manner that complies with the laws of war and doesn’t end up disproportionately harming civilians, nor in the capability of the U.S. government to monitor their use.”

A position the US government appear to still be sticking to.

SavageResponse:
With propeller driven World War1 era aircraft?

The super tucano was first launched in 2003. Why don't you undertake a simple Google research of the aircraft's capabilities and why it is best suited for COIN operations to avoid commenting in ignorance?

tutudesz:
Virgin Time

Let the super tucano wipe all the foolish abdools disturbing the peace of Nigeria. Enough is enough. They should be sent to go and meet their Allah

Blackfire:
IPad and igbo-hoe miscreants we are coming for you..

wat of ur bastard Boko Haram pple that hv kill ur pple in North like shit

Realist1:
Nigeria does not have that kind of money to by some F16 in the first place,even if we do I don't think the US will sell to us.These jets are the only thing I appreciated Trump for, he wasn't following any law he sold those Tuscano jets to easily.Buhari rushed with speed to pay over $482m for 12 of those super Tuscano before he changes his mind.Obama didn't let us buy arms from them through out his tenure.They said our soldiers violates human rights.

Because our soldiers do violate human rights but that was just part of the reason. Another reason is the corruption and loss of funds sent to Nigeria for defense purposes.

refurbished relics of world war 1

Administration1:

That's if those incompetent pilots don't go crashing them into the ground.

Fatalveli:
Nigeria cannot even build this trash chai.

Africans are olodo

Very few countries build fighters and attack aircraft even in the advanced world.

HellAnus:
something Bubu will end up dashing Boko Boys

You just reminded me of the missing fighter jets mtcheeew

Business class ticket will soon be available

TUANKU:

For what?!

To fight bandits and insurgents?

Wrong choice of aircraft.

plusses:
On hearing this, the stupid ESN miscreants have started to purge. Una neva see anything yet. Igbos

remove Igbo in that ur comment tribal idiot and ur Boko Haram will be pardon mad goat

In a country like Nigeria today even if USA, Germany and Russia donate their best modern sophisticated weapons to us no result will be achieved. The next news on arrival to Nigeria is either this super Tucano aircraft broke down in one airforce base or it is lost somewhere in the NE, NC or NW forest, and Committee will be set to investigate it till 2025.

The F35 is one of the most disastrous air platforms ever devised by man.

The US is bleeding because the program over-promised and under-delivered.

The older F22 is still the king

Besides these are air superiority aircraft, not ground support aircraft. For that, the US relies on the low-flying slower A10 Thunderbolt.

Truth be told Buhari is trying (just like Jonathan before him and yaradua before him - this I have realised). But you see us Nigerians we are the enemies of ourselves (Nigeria).
How do you explain the fake drugs, fake school certificates, substandard work by contractors, bribe collecting civil servants at the expense of their jobs, sex for grade Lecturers, grade for sex/money students and the list of our vices is long and ever growing with the passage of time

If you think Jonathan and Buhari are trying then you suffer from blindness.

Nigerians are too content with nonsense leadership.

Confirmedzombie:
FG should deployed the 6 aircraft to South East first.

After destroying ESN and all Ipob they can take it to the North.

Our SE can never be a terorists region. Destroying ESN and Ipob is all we want right now.

Ipob are terorists

Yeah, confirmed zombie. I get it.

The western nations will not sell their top jet fighters to African countries. It is not going to happen, or else they will not be dominant in the air- One of the top jet fighters cost 2 billions dollar and counting. So it is either we develop technology to compete or the western nations keep selling African country toy planes

This one will soon go missing like previous ones.

Do you know that there are heat seeking and target locked surface to air rockets that can be launched from a shoulder bourne launcher? Do you know that they can be easily procured from the black market with the right price? This is not 1967. When the shit hits the fan, you will be surprised at what boys already have in stock. Monkey la la(s?)

You are fool for saying Buhari is trying and GOD will punish you for lying. A failed government due to a failed president is your definition of trying. Ozwie!
