Nigerian Air Force To Take Delivery Of ₦2.3b Augusta 109 Power Helicopter by Automotive1(m): 5:12pm On Mar 22, 2019 |
The Nigerian Air Force says it will take delivery of Augusta 109 Power helicopter from Italy soon, to strengthen its arsenal for the fight against insurgency in the North-West. The Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, disclosed this at the 2019 First Quarter Chief of Air Staff Conference on Wednesday in Abuja. Abubakar said that acquisition of the military helicopter was part of renewed efforts of Federal Government to ensure that there was security in the North-West. He said that the focus was particularly in Zamfara, Sokoto and Kaduna states, where a new detachment had been approved by the Air Force Council. “We have already provided landing facilities there for helicopters and we have also provided fuelling facilities for the aircraft,” he said. Abubakar disclosed that NAF was currently reactivating five of its aircrafts, adding that “3L 39 Live Extension Programme’’ was on in Kano and “MI 35 Live Extension Programme’’ in Port Harcourt. “I believe this methods substantially add to our capacity to boost these assets and make Nigeria secure. The expected US$ 6.3m ( ₦2.3b ) AgustaWestland Power helicopter is a twin-engine, eight-seat multi-purpose helicopter. It is the fastest helicopter in its class . https://autojosh.com/nigerian-air-force-to-take-delivery-of-n2-3b-augusta-109-power-helicopter/ Credits: NAN 2 Likes |

Nigeria has no external enemy. You acquire military aircrafts upandan, instead of providing wealth for Nigerians... What are you afraid of? Restructure Nigeria away from this rogue political structure created by Arewa soldiers, not acquire military wares for potential dissident groups in Nigeria. You must have them dissident groups soon nyafu nyafu, without restructuring the country's lopsided political structure which assigned quasi ownership of Nigeria to Fulani. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Hope it can be armed with machine guns and other big guns to aid the soldiers on the ground and if not then it's useless . We dont need choppers that can only do surveillance and transport of oga at the top. We need combat choppers that can launch missiles accurately to bokoharam targets to aid the corofo soldiers or infantry 5 Likes |

Nigerian style. Instead of buying weapons in bulk, we prefer to buy in one and twos. Maintenance will later become a problem because we have different weapons made by different suppliers. 8 Likes 1 Share |

The nations Air Force has been in dire need of gun ship, that’s why this boys from the Maghreb has been kicking the ass of Nigerian army. Get these soldiers a well equipped mordern AH-64 Apache or an A129 mangusta gunship and a chinook that can deploy a quick response force and see them doing wonders. 9 Likes 1 Share |
