What do you mean? Are you saying that there is no military aircraft which operates on jet propulsion which is powered by a nuclear reactor?

That was an experiment and was never conceived neither mass produced..
Even with engineers looking at forms of energy as an alternative to aviation fuel.. Nuclear energy isnt one of them

AllahThePig:
Even if nuclear power is still at the experimental stage, why purchase a propeller powered plane and not a jet engine one?
With the exception of single engine Cessnas which are used for training pilots (and helicopters), no serious minded military in the 21st century is actually deploying propeller planes on such a large scale as this government is doing with Tucano A-29s.

Iswap and Boko boys waiting for the planes to land

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.
