A week later, US accepted the sale of 29-Tucano to the Nigeria government.

but this us what you are getting

A turbo prop airplane, aren't you ashamed of yourself? Or you heard Super and thought it was a Lockheed Martin F22 Raptor. This is scrap that the US no longer needs, they give it to you and take millions of $$$. You should be ashamed of yourself. Trump is a business man, he just increased the budget of the US armed forces, and that money will come from somewhere. Chai are you nigerians stupid or just pretending. Buhari should be condemned for this act.

Madam, they are brand new and the contractor is Sierra Nevada in Colorado. USAF, currently don't have enough in their inventories right now and the little they have are used in training F16 fighter pilots. In fact, they have also placed order for the aircraft. So get your facts right.

My fact is in the tail end of the link provided. This is a contract that dates back to June 2016 for which we are only just getting the LOA.
Just scroll down the link and you will be updated from the manufacturer's site.

[Embraer EMB-314 Super Tucano (A-29) Trainer / Counter-Insurgency / Light Attack / Armed Reconnaissance Aircraft] is good,have a look at it! https://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=718

June 2016: Nigeria has agreed to buy ex-U.S. Super Tucano aircraft. These will replace an aging stock of Alpha Jet advanced trainers.

May 2017 - The Super Tucano has been selected by the USAF for a Light Attack Demonstation.

October 2017 - The Philippines is making plans to acquire a fleet of six Super Tucanos.

October 2017 - The USAF has announced that a pair of A-29 Super Tucano attack aircraft will deploy to Iraq for an operational demonstration under "Combat Dragon III".

December 2017 - The Philippines government has committed to an order for six A-29 Super Tucanos from Embraer. These will begin deliveries sometime in 2019 and be used in various over-battlefield roles beyond Close-Air Support (CAS).

Well the information on that website is wrong. Even BBC said, in their 2016 post, that Nigerian Super Tucano will come with a very basic configuration. Why did they say that? Because they all felt Nigeria doesn't deserve the best. It came as a shocker to them all when they learnt that the A-29 is coming with the full kit. It will field every avionics as the one sold to Afghanistan, USAF and Brazilian Airforce.
Look, it seems your mind is all made up that Nigerian won't get the newly built aircrafts. I can't change your mind on that. But every fact point to the fact that they will be newly built.

***Caveat, the Super Tucano deal with Brazilian Airforce is different from that with US government. Nigeria proposed to buy three of the aircraft from Brazil storage which the US government blocked. However, with Trump's approval Nigeria can easily get from Brazil if we are still interested.***

During the war against us, the weapons that we used were mostly built by us, there were airplanes we converted from civilian use to military use, we refined our own fuel, the SAM we used to scare the Egyptian pilots away and later converted it to Surface to surface missile, which was very disastrous for your armies, then the Ojukwu bucket, list goes on and on, only that we lacked materials to service them as a result of the Blockade, any ways no problem, But my problem is that Nigerians after winning the war, instead of doing like the US did with Nazi engineers began to persecute them, they fled to the US who welcomed them and recruited them into the US army and they contributed to the growth of that country's army. Nigeria no get shame at all.

Casualties of war, or collateral. Spoils of war refer to gains made (looting etc).


Not just the gains, but also the loses. You may check it out. Spoils of war also refers to the prize of war, the looting, raping and killing of the innocent or civilian populace. It's just the good and the bad effects of war.

We don't have the infrastructure in place to produce such advanced weapons systems in place. The insurgency can't wait for us to develop our own weapons before we start fighting.

that is not to say we should not increase investment in developing our own technology to meet our needs in agriculture,industry and surely defence

Do private companies build war weapons or the government?

[b]U.S. Air Force Now Training with A-29 Super Tucano



Sierra Nevada’s A-29 Super Tucano demonstrator has arrived at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, and the U.S. Air Force pilots have started training on the aircraft.

Over the next few weeks, Air Force pilots will learn to fly the Super Tucano before kicking off the service’s OA-X experiment in on July 31.

http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/us-air-force-now-training-29-super-tucano-21510






The US Air Force it'self bought 30 Super Tucano for their own use so, should the US also be ashamed of themselves too.

How dumb can you people sound.

Offensive platforms regardless of their capabilities are designed for specific offensive measures and the purpose for the Super Tucanos in Nigeria remains counter insurgency measures against Boko Haram.




A-29 Super Tucano
The Embraer EMB 314 Super Tucano, also named the A-29, is a turboprop, light-attack aircraft designed for counter-insurgency, close air support, and aerial reconnaissance missions in low-threat environments

SpecialAdviser:
I know many illiterates will celebrate this and it is already happening. At a time that countries are making their own war equipment, we are still buying from everywhere.

How would any sane person celebrate that a country agreed to sell ammunition to you? Are they giving you for free? Is it not your money that you are spending to buy? Who wouldn't want to sell to build his economy? So you celebrate expenditure while your client laugh at you foolishness because he is making serious income. I won't be surprised that nations that sell ammunition, one way or the would provide backing to terrorism since it is equivalent to making sales. Slave is in the mentality.

You cannot even make a toothpick and you want to make weapon. China is even making your Batik now.

Mind you A-29 Super Tucano is a Ground Attack and reconnaissance aircraft not Fighter Jet. To be called a jet you need a JET ENGINE. And the Tucano is propeller driven not jet at all.

I don't see they reason why our own fighter jets should be so...
from my view point it seems like they just want to dump their old cargos in our country.
propellers are very delicate , if not made with proper materials could break in flight, due to heat expansion it could lead to a catastrophic crash(waste of oil cash)...
though it is fuel efficient...we really need speed in warfare...
I don't think our fighter jet could evade soviet missiles...

well am not they one buying but Nigeria can afford better...

Glorified Spitfire that tormented FARC rebels in Colombia. They literally sh*t themselves at the sight of the plane. Talibans piss themselves at the thought of that plane. The Mautes terrorist group of Philippines knows nothing makes their journey to the "72 virgins" faster than an A29. Just pray you don't be at the receiving end of that warplane.
