So Nigeria Air force can deploy jets to another country but cannot deploy same jets on the marauding terrorists having a field day in Nigeria?

There is nothing anybody wants to tell me, the government is complicit in the ongoing terrorism in this country.
You don't use jets to fight terrosim

You use helicopter or planes like the Tucano we bought that can hover and fire from a safe distance. Also.drones and special forces.

Jets are for if your enemy has jets too and you need to intercept them fast

The Nigeria Armed Forces need not be been the fake big brother they claimed,,,we ve alot to deal with than deploying the already short service personnels to other country.Let them deal with their internal situation themselves
WTF is wrong with you people? You complain about everything. You clearly read it was for monitoring purpose and not an offensive mission. Nawa for you ooooooo.

Thank God that the coup was thwarted. Some emergency lovers of Nigeria were masturbating on twitter earlier today. Watch, this page no go pass 3, compared to the coup news that was published in the earlier hours of today. Some fake pan Africa twitter account even appeared suddenly and have been singing about how Cotonou is the best thing after agege bread - the same propaganda they ran for Burkina Faso. Lmaoooo cheesy cheesy cheesy Some even said the "coup is coming close to home"

If Coup happen in Nigeria, na that your Otti go be the first governor to go and a Fulani military officer will be appointed as administrator. Nzogbu nzogbu mentality no go ever let you reason reach that level. You think only Tulumbu will be removed. iLaff. All of your governors are going too.

Most of the things we're dealing with in Nigeria are spillover from neighbouring countries.

You don't use jets to fight terrorism but you can use jets to fight coup ?

U cannot use jets to bomb sambisa forest but you can send it to go for coup in another country.

Okooo


Really?
Re: Coup: Nigerian Air Force Deployed Fighter Jets To Benin by mikeapollo: 3:04pm On Dec 07, 2025
The same nonsense they did that made Niger, Chad, B, Faso, Mali etc to leave ECOWAS and mafe it more difficult for us to fight the Islamic terrorists in our country.
Now, Benin Republic may be forced to close their borders with Nigeria and that would create problems for traders

Jets also are used to essentially intimidate as well. And to show the coupists that Nigeria is in charge of their airspace

Drones and tucano are better for terrorists. But the best way to fight terrorists is to use special forces .

By the way we have been using tucano against the bandits well well.

Is Benin Republic not a sovereign country?
You see why telling America that Nigeria is a sovereign country is hypocrisy?

But Nigerian Air force at some point used jets to drop bombs on terrorists during Buhari regime so why do you speak with such level of ignorance?

There is enough here on ground to deal with than sending those Jets to Benin.

Mr Tinubu Stop wasting aviation fuel. You could not even raise a finger against terrorist that have captured tour traditional chief in Kwara but you are here flexing tiny muscle in a sovereign nation.

Those emilokan crooners that brandished Trump for suggest military operation in nigeria if Nigerian government continues to aid terrorists in their evil and bloody campaign against Christians in Nigeria would vehemently support this uninvited invasion of another severeign nation.

Double standard and emilokan are 5&6.

So it is ok for Nigeria to interfere with the internal affairs of a sovereign country but not ok for Trump to come to Nigeria to help deal with the terrorists taking over Nigeria?

If you want latest model jets , you need a defence budget in the realms of over 400 billion dollars.

Our defence budget is five billion for this year . Dollars. If we bought ten f22 jets that's 3.5 billion dollars. Operating costs per hour of those jets is 60000 dollars per flight hour. There would be no money for salaries and other defence projects at that rate.

You are not just buying the jet, you also have to make sure you pay for training which costs a lot of money as well as upgrades and spare parts. Again operating cost is 60000 dollars per flight hour. And I forgot, you have to buy trainer jets, and other facilities to train the pilots here.

That makes the money we spent on tucano jets look like chicken feed

And before you start, none of your governments since independence have been able to buy late model jets because Nigeria's economy is not an industrial economy and as such is not earning the type of money to buy the kind of jets we need

Other alternative is to make your own jets. But most of you guys prefer tinubu type leaders instead of Deng type leaders, so here we are.
Re: Coup: Nigerian Air Force Deployed Fighter Jets To Benin by franvincoop: 3:15pm On Dec 07, 2025
All I know be say, make the jet no fall like the one for Niger state wey information reach us say aboki iron condemn dem disappear the jet before army wan arrive the crash site the following day.

Tucano not the jets they are sending.

They used the tucano jets

Even then, they could not drop.bombs all the time because many of those bandits were using human shields ie kidnap victims
