Why not buy from the global South for a change.

The last tucanos can't be used becos the West disabled so many functionalities.

Instead of all this waste of money buying hardwares we can't use due to western restrictions, why not borrow Ukraine tech. (Which is not public knowing), obtain semantics for making 3D printed drones or improve on our home grown drone tech and root these terrorists out

That's not true. The tucano have been used several times.

IamANigerianMan:
Another rubbish , Create state police, use the so call constituent allowances, security vote , allowances for senate, house of rep to finance it

Police is not to fight terrorists. State police may not be the immediate answer.

Another way to scoop the subsidy fund into their private accounts. Do we even have NAF here? Can they use the facility if acquired? Bunch of illiterates and their illiterates employers.

Dennisochampa:
If they use the tucano mistake bomb civilians join terrorists... Una go complain..
Now they want to purchase vipers that are capable of precision air to surface strikes... Una still dey complain...

Na wa o...

Why will they bomb civilian's with terrorist?
Don't we have trained Air force pilots?
If no, then they should send them to Israel for training and let them learn how to aim only at their target and not attack indiscriminately.

Good development. Every necessary military equipment is needed to take out bandits and terrorists

You will think they want to use it to kill terrorists. No. They want to use it to kill innocent citizens going after terrorists!

USA With their trained pilot and F bombers do you know how many Afghan women and children they hit during their various attack?

I was physically in the Middle East in 2003 during the Afghanistan and Iraq war.

The US Air Force carried out all their air strike deliberately. Any news of a mistaken target was a cover up.

The Taliban are known for using human shield.
They have heavy weaponry and Arsenal with ordinary civilian's as a cover up.
The CIA know all those gimmicks.
I pity those women and children that allowed themselves to be used.

Souuu what are you trying to say boko haram and other bandit don’t use civilian as human shield too we have had scenarios of community working closely with bandits hiding in the homes, giving them intelligence report, in an emptive to strike, you believe i won’t air strike them with the so called civilians, in that same Afghanistan we have had issues of targeting error and technical difficulties, don’t forget 2001 was a period when United state was starting their drone programs, there were issues of their drones dropping bombs before reaching target as a result of their drones hitting mountains and also harsh weather like dust storms make them drop bombs on civilians and residential, so harsh weather often take the drone off-course. All the modern warfare comes with collateral damage they’re not 100% perfect, civilian dying as a result of air strike are close to normal, especially people living close, sometimes doesn’t have to do with the pilot or even the aircraft itself technical difficulties, intelligence mistakes, human shield are common mistakes that can occur, that’s why the Nigeria army most times warn people close to these bandit forest to leave, some remain to stay there, we’ve had scenarios where armies have to warn civilians to leave this area around forest and bushes.

So Nigerian Government are so daft and foolish to buy an aircraft that many of its functions were disabled, thats really ridiculous sarcastic...then why selling it, what use is it

So what happened to the much hyped tucano jet fighters?


Some people are actually cashing out!


@hotseat

What happened to the tucano helicopters that buhari bought?. Are they using it to capacity? We've not been in tune with the activities of these machines lately. My sincere advice to the naf is to sell those tucanos and replace them with this new ones since most of the Ariel bombardment these days are carried out by alpha jets and not the tucanos. Of what good is keeping the tucanos when they are inoperable.

Why can't FG forget about US and NATO affiliates and focus on Nigeria.
Many talents and capabilities that need to be activated in this country.
We can start smal small; one step at a time

. Wait a min, are we not supposed to be acquiring air defense system🤣. Am joking sha.

Hmmmm Biz as usual
What happen to the ones we have
Have they been able to curb the menace in kaduna and benue if yes then they can go ahead but if no then no reason to get another one
We spend too much on things that are not important and leave the most important things
May God have Mercy on us in Nigeria

ednut1:
The people selling us weapons are the ones sponsoring these terrorists deadly

It's simple sense na, you have to create a need 😁😁
If I sell you something, I can also create a reason for you to use it

ogaemma:
What about all the Tucano Jonathan bought?
I don't understand this deception called Nigeria.

Buhari not GEJ. GEJ can't buy outdated jets to combat terrorism

To aid in delivering ammunition to Fulani terrorist... Oh sorry I forgot they warned us to stop calling them terrorist 🤣

At last someone is thinking.

This is one piece of the best kind of air asset that can be deployed to counter insurgency operations, the helicopter gunship.

The other critical part is the helicopter troop carrier and when you have a whole squadron spread round trouble spots and within a thirry minute flying time to interdict then there is a chance the military can actually get the job done.

So a web of bases within 150 miles of each other equiped with one Chinook, two Viper's each and a company each of elite soldiers will break the back of these brgands.

This is a tactic to persuade Trump from sanctioning Nigeria. We know

JONATHAN bought? was this procurement so old that one cannot figure the procurement date?

@hotseat

Fixed winged aircraft, typically ground attack aircraft are not the tools for the job. They are only useful against fortifications, vehicles and clustered troops not guerilla formations which tend to be well versed in camouflage and subterfuge.

I mean they donot fly at the speeds where highly mobile non radar readable targets can be easily identified, tracked and targeted.

Armoured helicopters on the other hand fly slow and low enough to identify and track more mobile and dispersed targets.

Because your country is not a country but company of the UK…LOL

Thats why Baba goes to Europe every month to report…as did Buhari before him and so on and so forth…

If you can't deal with these terrorist with those craft you clearly are part of the problem scoring own goal deliberately and also sabotaging our soldiers. We want have a airforce and out soldiers are always under attack, it doesn't make sense. When the terrorist have a clear position and we are struggling to deal with the situation.

The Nigerian army has to change its military doctrine asap! The Boko haram is fighting an asymmetrical war.........the army should acquire fpv suicide drones plus surveillance drones.......train our rappers to rig high explosives to the suicide drones........that's the only way to destabilize these savages

I would have preferred if these viper attack helicopters were given to the Nigerian Army instead of the Airforce like they have done in the US , the AH cobra and vipers are used by the US army and Marines not the airforce, it's a a tactical close support aircraft

The irony is that if you start a drone/advanced arms company/research center in Nigeria today, they will come after you claiming you are manufacturing for terrorists. How can a nation develop with this archaic mentality ?

Congratulations to the people who'll be involved in the procurement.

Money has landed.

As if we don’t know the plan of Government… if air force don’t come out tomorrow to apologize for bombing a village … sincerely speaking I don’t understand why the Airforce keep bombing innocent citizens then turn around to apologize .. we know their MO

And shoot protesters protesting against election riging and bad governance.
