The F16 Falcon cost 18 million dollars per unit yet the Nigerian govt wants to buy archaic propeller driven plane for 41 million dollars each ..I beg the senate to halt that deal as it is filled with intense corruption

MrNigeria2018:


The same Igbos that couldn’t survive Nigeria area bombing due to their inability to purchase ammunitions from France and build a cheap runways after robbing CBN to get money and Nigeria govt subsequently changed its currency.

You mean the same Igbos who only waited to kill Nigeria Army to get a sophisticated guns.

The same Igbos who lost millions of their own when they couldn’t even build their own bullet.

The same Igbos that couldn’t beat the intelligence of one man called Obafemi Awolowo and made all their chest beating military gimmicks fell apart.

The same people who couldn’t not get beyond the intelligence of one man called Obafemi Awolowo who changed Nigeria currency when Igbos robbed the same Nigerians of their money to buy ammunitions.

The same Igbos who couldn’t find an alternative way to survive when an intelligent man called Awolowo came up with a brilliant idea of blockage so as to prevent these urchins fathers here today from being exterminated by Nigeria army.

The same Igbos who couldn’t lead their own and resulted to a Yoruba man for intelligence in leading the war

The same Igbos who couldn’t feed their own children but expected the same people they are killing to spoonfeed them.

You mean the same Igbos who employed the service of South African white pilots to fly the stolen Nigeria aircrafts at declaration of Biafra

You mean the same Igbos who couldn’t not come up with an idea when their enemy put up a blockage against them

The same Igbos whose leader took to his heels when the war song got to his door

The same Igbos who are still mourning about a self imposed war of over 40years in which they lost thousands of their kinsmen while those who fought in WW11 with casualties of over 20million people are now forming military, intelligence, economic and political alliances around the world.

If that’s the case, you build your fake clothes and drug without government intervention as you claimed, i dong think it ll cost Igbos anything to build just like every investor and begin to sell it like every capitalist countries in the world.

Tell us another chest-beating story.

Rubbish!

People who couldn’t even think beyond their anus are here forming Russia.

The same people who sent thousands of their youth to war front without proper military gears are now here again with their usual chest beating consolation rhetorics.

Lazy and coward imbedded Cretins.

Xbee007:
I was an advocate of NAF buying Super Tucano because it was simply the best COIN and CAS aircraft in the world. I was even ready to overlook the stupidly exorbitant price tag.
However, it is now obvious that USA just want to ridicule Nigeria with this crazy deal.
They don't want Nigerians to inspect the building of the aircraft.
They don't want us to maintain them ourselves in case they get faulty.
And we have to wait till 2020 before we start taking delivery. WTH!

Nigerians, don't let the Caliphate deceive you.

Donald Trump is no longer comfortable with Buhari's jihadist government.

smartty68:
Why are you guys complaining already? Didn't you pay to acquire the machine? Or the money also includes production training?

BTW, 2020 is a good decision because I'm pretty sure that the US government is aware of the recent crisis going on in Nigeria because releasing the jet now may lead to another Civil War under this present administration.

pooozeee:
Y must we only buy from the US, Y not Russia, Israel they also have suffisticated aircraft

bendike:
Understood, but why not get subsonic upgraded Su 25 close support aircrafts from Russia that can also use guided and unguided ammunitions?
Why tie down ourselves with unreliable Americans that have already started giving conditions on products you what do buy with your hard earned money. As if we are begging them to buy. Tomorrow when we disagree with them over minor issues they will then place "sanctions" on us by refusing to supply parts or armaments for the aircrafts. Example is Venezuela that bought F16 or Iran that bought F14 and had their whole fleets grounded over unrelated disagreements with the USA.
The cost of American munitions is also crazy. A single missile can cost over a $100k when the same missile from Russia cost $5k. Can Nigeria afford such? The Americans wont allow you modify their aircrafts to carry cheaper munitions from other countries.
Do you know that modern American aircraft also give the manufacturer situation and usage records just like your i phone? Norway recently had to consider the national security impact of that as they discovered their F35 jets were communicating with the USA without their knowledge. In short the USA manufacturer can send a bug or command to your aircraft to shut down, to refuse to start even to refuse to lock its aiming sensors and radars on a geo-location.
Finally do you know that you cannot sell American aircrafts to a third party without getting approval from the USA? Which means if Nigeria cannot sell the aircrafts to any other country if we are done with them.

Someone somewhere is hellbent on making billions from the deal, hence the desperation to push through

This is what Nigeria is planning to use in 2020 with money that can buy modern fighter jets

Iraqi F-16s $165 Million Each


Think of it as a military-industrial complex two-fer — first we invade Iraq, eight years later we’re selling it F-16s. “Iraq has now made its first transfer payment for the purchase of 18 F-16 fighter aircraft,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Tuesday. “These aircraft are going to help provide air sovereignty for Iraq and to protect its territory and deter or counter regional threats.” They represent “the cornerstone of the kind of cooperation that we hope to have in the future to support the secure, peaceful, democratic development of Iraq.”

Iraqi jet jockeys can’t wait. “It was a dream come true to fly in the F-16,” Iraqi air force Brigadier General Ali al-Aaragy said after taking one of the fighters for a test ride at Arizona’s Luke Air Force Base nearly three years ago. The first flock of F-16s is slated to arrive in Iraq in 2014. The U.S. is selling Iraq 18 of the “low end” of the Pentagon’s famed “high-low mix” — F-15s were the more costly “high end.” But these 18 F-16s are no bargain.

The planes are going to cost $3 billion (extra spares and services could drive the total cost to $4.2 billion). That base price, without the options, works out to more than $165 million a plane — more than the current estimated $154 million price tag on the much more modern — so-called fifth generation — F-35. (The Pentagon stopped buying F-16s back in 1995; it paid an average of $17 million per plane).
