How many Super pumas do we have in service

jakeporeshenko:
I don’t know what the total number is but I know NAF revived 2-3 in 2012 and lost one to an accident in 2015 at Lagos airport

bidexiii:
We av a total of 4, but only 2 are in active service the order 2 has being down for donky years.

Odunayaw:
Then we had better start ramping up purchases of the Mi-17s

jakeporeshenko:
I don’t think we will start receiving those until we see them in the budget, just like we saw the 2 Mi-35s that got delivered early this year.
Unless we get second hand from excess defense article sales. Russian Air Force is trying to get rid of many, we can grab them for chicken change.

Nigerdeltaboi:
sorry to bust your burble but Brigadier Bako , Lt col ogbehia and others I can't remember where the master minds of that coup. Brig Bako got killed in action around abuja. Buhari was installed by the coupist and he wasn't the master mind sir.

Adminisher:
Buhari became Head Of State because of reputation and positive inspiring stories from his service to the Army. He never plotted the coup.

SupremeCourt:
Nigeria is a country where good people are sacrificed by bad people, patriots are sacrificed by the unpatriotic. We must fight against this evil.


NAF pilot Hedima's heroic death and sacrifice for you, me and all Nigerians, was denied in news media by Air Marshals Amosun and Badeh because they caused his death with their corruption joined by PDP looter civilians of Aso Rock villa like Dasuki, Dieziani and their gangs.

Nigeria spent $15 billion on military from 2010-2015, that is enough to buy all the weapons of Israel's armed forces.

Wing Commander Hedima was a victim of the fantastic corruption of the past president Goodluck Jonathan government. Looters filled up 99% of government positions, government thieves all over Abuja from civilian to military positions, stealing public money was a professional achievement, the more cash you stole, the greater the respect you get in Abuja.

Finance minister Ngozi Okonja Iweala released the first installment $ 1 billion war money to buy powerful new weapons to fight Boko Haram in mid-2014. Ordinary street people in Abuja were angry when we saw half a billion dollars of that cash was approved by Dr. Jonathan to his PDP party friend and oil businessman Prince Arthur Eze to buy Russian armoured jet warplanes S 25 Fogroot that NAF pilots can fly to bomb Boko Haram without being shot down by dangerous Shekau anti-aircraft guns.

These bullet proof Russian warplanes were never bought because Arthur Eze over-inflated the price as the second hand used jets were priced to NAF at $ 50 million each aircraft, same jets cost only $15 million each in the international market for second hand S 25 Fogroots, meaning that GEJ boy Eze will corruptly steal $210 million from the 6 jets contract, not counting others like helicopters and so on that he was to supply from the $500 million dirty deal. Noise of the leaked jet planes corruption made government change the contract to other types of weapons.

So NAF continued to fly the Alpha jets that have no bullet proof cover and are easy for Boko Haram to shoot down like hunter shooting pigeons form the sky.

Is it not adult age stupidity of a PhD degree holder for President Goodluck Jonathan to have approved very vital warplanes purchases to an oil tycoon Arthur Eze 'Alias Anambra river of money' ? What has a civilian oil businessman got to do with military jet aircraft purchase in a deadly war that was ravaging Nigeria with Boko Haram killing tens of thousands of our men and children, raping thousands of our married women and virgin girls in broad daylight?

Was that not African wickedness of the highest order?

The blood of Nigerian air force pilots like Wing Commander Hedima who died in Borno NE war like cheap chickens, will be on the head of all Nigerian government officials and non-government people who looted military money to enrich themselves while innocent patriotic soldiers died unnecessary deaths from Boko Haram deadly anti-aircraft guns January 2014 to May 2015. May the ghosts of these people whose wives are widowed, whose children are fatherless, whose parents buried their young sons, haunt and torment all these corrupt people forever and ever.

Yet you see on the streets, in newspapers, on TV, on radio, on internet many wicked Nigerians still supporting GEJ for the sake of political party, tribe and religion, wishing PMB dead in London hospital so that corruption can come back to rob poor Nigerians. See how evil Nigerians are? We are our own worst enemies.

Look at that photo below, see the image on the right side, taken minutes before he was beheaded with an axe like a mere goat, see blood stains on the T-shirt of Commander Hedima, may that blood be upon the head of all those who looted Nigeria's military money from 2010-2015, our $15 billion military procurement budget was stolen into private pockets. Thank you Air marshal Badeh, Air Marshal Amosun, thank you PDP, thank you Uncle Joe & Aunty Pat, the former landlord & landlady of Aso mansions, dia ris God o!

When will The Nigerian army learn how to do things properly. How can you move troops without artillery cover or air support.

bidexiii:
I saw images from the scene today, we've lost some brave men.

Its a pity our top brass has not yet learned from there past mistakes .

We will keep on loosing brave soldiers if we don't invest much on our defence industry. How long shall we keep on transporting men in hilux without no air cover or support, being a Nigerian soldier should not be suicidal. .

Xbee007:
I want to suggest that on 11th of September 2017, we should try and take this to the Front-page to celebrate this hero. We should prepare wonderful eulogies for this unsung hero to further immortalise his names and let the world understand the evil of unchecked corruption.
No one should forget Badeh and his caucus so soon, they deserve some bashing.
B4 that day, we will agree on a particular time when the post will be made so that good comments will be on top b4 educated illiterates hijack the thread.

Odunayaw:
RIP to the warriors

Let me quickly chip this in. An ambush isn't a siege it is a hit,cause damage and flee stuff. What kind of Air cover are we talking about,drones? Helicopters or what?

Let's take into account that the hallmarks of Insurgency is attrition ..If for every convoy movement some air equipment is used we'd gradually be eroding the useful service life of these assets

In my opinion we must keep harping it. we need more armor. Unprotected vehicles are not used in active zones and we must correct our anomaly

Vikkie14:
We are not showing sign of correcting the anomaly. We've just bought another batch of 2017 Hilux for our most. Elite soldiers

Odunayaw:
For the SBS right? I have no problem with that they can use whatever to get their job done
