Like North Korea like Nigeria... buying weapons of war while masses are hungry, starving and at the mercy of state sponsored terrorists who destroy farmlands and kill farmers. One already knows for which these weapons were bought. They'll eventually fail though and the evil contraption disintegrated.

Because Tucano jets have a limited coverage area, because America told them where to operate them. They decided to go to Europe and buy jets they can deploy anywhere in NIGERIA.

Their focal point is SE and the Yoruba Press is itching to give support. All IGBOs must see this coming and work towards stopping it

guys....the next big move is drone swarms now....china has already started testin it....many cheap drones to destroy expensive maschines....
better dont fall behind in drones technology....
My thoughts exactly. The beauty here is that thousands of such drones can be made for dirt cheap and they don't require particularly sophisticated intelligence or weaponry. Even a moderately resourced non-state actor with enough technical skills can build an army of drones.

This romance between Nigeria and Alpha jets is an unending one .
The deal is actually nice; 6 to function and 6 to be butchered for parts.

I am just in giggles ...

France will soon establish a military outpost in Nigeria in the name of tactical and military hardware training to compensate for their near total eviction from Sub-Sahara Africa.

All because they allowed Nigeria acquire some fairly used aircraft and military tech.

Mumu the main reason for hunger in Nigeria is insecurity ode

For those of us praising the effort of our dear president please before we start giving accolade let us educate ourself on things we don't know.

1, do we know what a Pre-owned jet means if not let me break it down for you. It is something that has been used and used and used over and over again and has passed different hands and if we put this in perspective, this jet was developed mostly by German and Russian technology used by their military for years and years then pass down to the France government which was in turn used for so many countless missions before it was passed to Nigeria.

2 the hardware's used on that jet is old technology and I am telling you boldly that we will never have 100% full control capabilities because any of those previous government can take hold of the jet in air anytime during power or war confrontation. These assets our president and cabinet acquired are not what Nigeria need at this time because our government and Tinubu just put us back 20 years in technological defence technology and war capabilities.

3, our president will come out tomorrow and say he spent billions to acquire the latest jet defence system in public TV which is very not true.
In today's world that jet will be compared to as a 1998 Mercedes Benz to a 2024 Mercedes Benz in a lame mans term.

As of today, we have hypersonic ballistic jet that can revolve around the world i.e start from one point and return to that same point in less than 5hrs.
Our government keep investing in old technologies and this is one thing that is pulling us back. In today's world, where unmanned supersonic jet are used for military confrontation where no pilot lives are lost. That jet out president went to get from France will cost us more to maintain and operate that what we purchased it for in the future.

France of today is rampage because the country no longer believe in the government and that is who our president went to go buy a dead jet from.
My question is are we cursed or what?
And we Nigerians why do we let people who don't know their left from right rule us?

Do you know that the money and the resources we will be paying to france for that jet would have been more equivalent to buy a new one from LOCKHEAD. But our corrupt and stingy ego will always put us back.

Na dead on arrival progress be this. That jet can not fly around Nigeria 20 times without crashing. Wasted effort and resources.

We need true visionaries as leaders and not what we have now.

A drone swarms cannot replace the role of a traditional multi-role fighters jet. Just like tanks are still viable equipments to keep. Different mission for different equipment.

Can you commend your president for consistently boosting your military strength ?
i already did....i said the alpha jet is a good choice for nigeria....

Insecurity in the North largely contributed to large scale hunger in Nigeria and if it's tamed possibly with the aid of these aircraft, farmers can back to farms.

This country just likes to waste money buying jets to fight a rag tag bunch. -non standing army without tanks, APCs, even artillery systems. Ukraine has shown drones …cheap drones are the future of warfare.

They sell us second jets , and they will bill us much more to get the ammunitions for this jets. We keep wasting money that we don’t have.

Why are we so damn foolish in this country… why?

We need intel to fight these insurgents. We need loitering drones with very good optics and night IR vision that can stay up for at least 24hrs watching these guys… knowing where they sleep, staging area..


See the advance of HTS on Aleppo and Hama…. Even the Syrians and Russian jets could not stop them. They demoralized the SAA with drones attacks on the Armored Tanks, Carriers and staging area.

Cheap drones rigged up with artillery shells .. enough drones. We can get the drones rotor motor and control kits from China, and download 3D diagrams of the drones and 3D print them here in Nigeria. All these will cost a fraction of what we are handing over to France.

1kg plastic filament is about 8000naira
Cheap 3D printers …less than $300

Nigeria …. Pls grow brain!
NO, YOU grow a brain.

What makes a little boy like you think you can instruct the Nigerian Air Force on what equipment to purchase?

Who told your little boy head that our only military threat is from rag tag terrorists?

Are you an intelligence officer or military expert in geopolitical affairs?

Just shut your little boy lips there.

Stupid, insolent idiot insulting his betters.
