Any news about the NAF Alpha jets ?
It has been long i saw pictures of them or hear of them participating in any operations.
There's a general lack of information, seems for operational reasons since this CAS came on board.

However the Alpha Jets are still in action, as we have seen, the Nigerian military has degraded Boko Haram and ISWAP so the intensity of action is not like a couple years ago.

The good news is the Nigerian government has paid for the engines of the M346F/A from America, so a replacement for the Alpha Jets is coming sooner than later.

I will post SIPRI's arms transfer report in the coming hours, there's nothing in it we don't already know, but still.
