Second Bach Of A-29 Super Tucano Fighter Aircrafts Depart US For Nigeria by Biodun556(op): 12:28pm On Sep 19, 2021

The second batch of the A-29 Super Tucano fighter jets acquired by the federal government to boost the war against insurgency and banditry has departed the United States for Nigeria, THISDAY has learnt.

THISDAY gathered that a group of pilots flying the six A-29 aircraft from Georgia to Nigeria stopped over in the city of Worcester to refuel Wednesday night before taking off again on Thursday.

The United States Government had earlier promised that the six remaining A-29 Super Tucano fighter jets would arrive in Nigeria this month (September).

The six planes are designed for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance missions.

The first batch of the attack aircraft had earlier been delivered by the US and have since been inducted into the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) order of battle by President Muhammadu Buhari and United States government officials at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

THISDAY gathered that the military planes are unable to fly across the Atlantic Ocean and have opted for a North Atlantic route, hopping to multiple spots to refuel with Worcester being one of the places to stop over and refuel.

The initial six delivered by the US flew through five countries, including Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Spain, and Algeria before arriving at their final destination in Nigeria towards the end of July.

The planes refueled at Rectrix in the Worcester Regional Airport in the United States.

The A-29 Super Tucano, designed by the Sierra Nevada Corporation in Sparks, Nevada, are light attack aircraft to be deployed by the NAF in the fight against terrorism in the country.

Worcester Telegram reported that the US Ambassador to Nigeria, Mary Beth Leonard, a Worcester native, was in town for her high school reunion at Doherty Memorial High School.

And Boko would be able to afford the spare parts, the technical knowhow, the skill needed to pilot them and the place to store them, since when I last checked Boko has no storage facilities for sophisticated aircraft.?

Also, Boko will cooperate with the USA on operating the planes too? Considering as the US is going to be around to help for some time.

I know you no like Buhari. I don't either. But this your bitterness is too much. Besides, considering Boko has killed more Muslims than Christians(Including attacking Kano Mosque and killing scores because the then Emir said something they did not like) , I think no Northerner would want them running the show.

Watch as these Tucanos jet will be directed to South East to annihilate our people

God protect us both from Legal (FG) and non Legal (Killer Herdsmen) Vampires

May God continue to guide and protect us from our enemies

***********************

For everyone that cared to know

ESN was created to stop and prevent all these senseless killings happening in the southern part of Nigeria...after the yearnings of the people to Southern Governors to establish a security network....they refused saying that the don’t have legal backing of the Federal Government

The killings continued unabated ...it got to a point that on a daily basis....news and graphic pictures of people killed in their farm lands or communities been attacked and burnt keep surfacing

It took the intervention of Nnamdi Kanu and other good spirited Biafrans to put a halt to these nonsense

They need for ESN to be created now emerged ...it was a huge success...we witnessed low records of killings...Fulani killers where chased away from our farmlands and bushes. There was relative peace in our communities..

Gov Hope Uzodinjo struck (Supreme Court Governor) because he got his victory from Fulanis...he sent soldiers to attack ESN camp in Orlu...on the process they Soldiers suffered defeat out of embarrassment and shame...the Soldiers turned around and start killing innocent women and children in Orlu town...this angered a lot of people...ESN was called to protect Orlu people..

The Military went berserk and started fighting ESN .....because they knew that the only thing that is stopping their Fulani herdsmen vampires not to conquer is ESN

It got to a point...they were a lot of bloodshed...ESN went underground to protect the dignity and sanctity of its creation

Unknown Gunmen took over...Gov Hope Uzondinjo was the architect of these senseless killings of Igbos in the South East

The Land Of Biafra will reject and consume all those people that are working with the enemies to decimate our people

Rest In Peace Dr Obadiah Mailafia

Where dem dey see money buy aircrafts?

We orrpw money to fund our budget, with a huge chunk of it going to security.

After the North have dragged us for years with their illiteracy, now they're using terrorism to still pull us backward.

The little funds that would have been used for infrastructural development is used in fighting terrorism.

These militants have brothers and sisters who know their that their siblings have taken up arms and are unleashing mayhem against innocent citizens, yet, they have refused to provide intelligence to the military.

They prefer that the country pray for God to turn things around.

They day the oil will dry and loan requests would be rejected, then we'll all start telling ourselves the truth.

Funny part is the US don't use such but use high tech jets. Nigeria just unfortunate with useless leaders. By the time Nigeria go buy current US jets it will be in 100 years by that time they have more advance jets
