There's a saying: "NEVER ARGUE WITH A FOOL BECAUSE HE/SHE WILL DRAG YOU DOWN TO HIS/HER LEVEL AND WIN WITH EXPERIENCE".

Oga Bidexii.... These fools are not worth the effort. Replying them is akin to dragging your reputation down in their MUD.

Lemme end with this: " IF YOU PLAY WITH A PIG, IT GETS HAPPY AND YOU GET DIRTY ".
Peace bro.....don't let them derail you.

I wish bidexii would listen.

The Official Delivery of the Super Tucano has been shifted to 2021 (from 2020). NAF is literally pleading with USA to deliver at least two (2) units before then. I hope the only thing we use it for, when it finally get here, is just border patrol. I can't even imagine this BHT war dragging on till next year let alone 2021

US DOD ASSURES NAF OF TIMELY DELIVERY OF A-29 SUPER TUCANO AIRCRAFT

The United States Department of Defence (US DOD) has assured the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) of its readiness to channel all efforts towards on-schedule delivery of the 12 units of A-29 Super Tucano aircraft, which were recently paid for by the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN). This assurance was given on 3 December 2018 by the Director of the United States Air Force Security Assistance and Cooperation (AFSAC) Directorate, Brigadier General Sean Farrell, during a meeting between representatives of the US DOD and the NAF, held at the Headquarters NAF in Abuja.

General Farrell, who is one of the senior officers from US DOD overseeing the ongoing process of the procurement of the A-29 Supper Tucano aircraft, mentioned that he and members of his team were in Nigeria to discuss the delivery schedule of the aircraft as well as the construction effort at NAF Base where the aircraft would be stationed. He expressed the readiness of his team to complete the execution of the contract in record time while noting that the visit to the Base would provide the team with firsthand knowledge of the construction site as well as help avoid delays in schedule and risks in the future. He added that the AFSAC is committed to assisting the NAF to deliver air power capability expeditiously in order to add value to what the Service is already doing in the Counter Insurgency (COIN) operations in the the Northeastern part of Nigeria.

In his remarks, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, applauded the US Government for the support it has rendered to the NAF over the years, which, he noted, had been instrumental in ensuring success in the COIN operations in the Northeast, despite recent setbacks. He said it had also enabled the NAF to project air power within the West African Sub-Region, such as the deployment of NAF aircraft to the Gambia in 2017 which facilitated the peaceful transition of power in that country thereby ensuring the sustenance of democracy. He reiterated that the Boko Haram menace was not a local problem but a global one, because the consequences of not adequately dealing with the threat would not only impact on Nigeria and the West African Sub-Region but also on other parts of Africa and the rest of the world. This, he noted, underscored the need for international collaboration and cooperation to adequately and decisively deal with the threat.

Speaking further, Air Marshal Abubakar noted that the defeat of ISIS in Syria and Iraq has had the unfortunate effect of exacerbating the problem in Nigeria with transfer of fighters and equipment into and around the West African Sub-Region, thereby emboldening the terrorist group who now have more sophisticated weapons and equipment. He stressed that the induction of the A-29 would, greatly enhance NAF’s capability to more effectively prosecute the war against insurgency in the Northeast. He therefore urged the AFSAC team to do all within its power to ensure that at least 2 of the aircraft are delivered to Nigeria even before the new delivery date of 2021. The CAS also used the opportunity to thank the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, and the National Assembly for granting the approvals that had enabled the acquisition of the 12 aircraft.

INFRASTRUCTURE
will be completed it is expected that the first set of Planes will arrive in 2020 the first set of planes will also include presumably the first set of NAF pilots.

Possibly with NAF first female fighter pilot, K.O Sani.

Odunayaw:
I believe the *2024* means the total delivery date

we should begin to see first deliveries in 2020

I don't even know why they are arguing over this. Wasn't it plain enough

@ Pijay, thanks for sharing that wonderful piece.

@ house, note that some of the answers to those questions are wrong.

Nemesis once shared a document that detailed how this attack happened.

Henry240:
Fake news.

That's what the APC has fed Nigeria for the past 3 years, while our country has gone 30 years backwards.

And their minions be like, "Wow, please tell me more!"

Abeg, is this not Super Mushshak

Your attached picture is from an hausa movie.

It does describes the sad scenario ongoing in the NE.

PRESS RELEASE ON THE ATTACK ON 157 TASK FORCE BATTALION DEFENSIVE LOCATION AT METELE IN GUZAMALA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF BORNO STATE

1. The attention of the NA has been drawn to several social media, print, electronic and online publications about the recent attack on 157 Task Force Battalion at Metele. Whilst it is true that there was an attack on the location on 18 November 2018, it has however, become necessary to correct several misinformation being circulated with regards to this unfortunate event.

2. It is important for the public to note that the NA has laid down procedures for reporting incidents that involve its personnel who fall casualty in action. Out of respect for the families of our gallant troops, the NOKs are first notified before any form of public information so as to avoid exacerbating the grief family members would bear, were they to discover such from unofficial sources.

3. Furthermore, it suffices to observe that several social media, print and online publications have been brandishing false casualty figures as well as circulating various footages of old and inaccurate BHT propaganda videos and alluding same to be the attack on 157 Task Force Battalion. Whilst it is understandable how such misinformation can spread in this era of social media frenzy, the spurious circulation of some of these videos only contribute to further propagate the propaganda intent of the terrorists; to misinform the populace and portray themselves as what they are not. So far, the situation is that the location is under control as reinforcing units have been able to repel the terrorists and stabilize the situation.

4. The NA sincerely, wishes to thank the various arms of government, MDAs and sister security agencies that have stood with her in these trying times; by commiserating with the families of the fallen heroes who have paid the supreme price for the defence of our dearly beloved country. The necessary support being given the NA by the Federal Government and the goodwill of the Nigerian populace will undoubtedly continue to spur the NA towards the ultimate defeat of the highly degraded BHTs.

5. This is for your information please. You are kindly requested to disseminate same through your various media channels. Thank you.

Gutless liars.
Useless country.

A very long story.

Ex.

U went to NDA?

Iblawi1:
Nigeria and Niger republic sign agreement to allow NAF fighter jets take off from Niger.

This is the kind of corporation we need.

I heard CAS Sadiq Abubakar saying it yesterday on NTA news @9. Best news so far.

somehow:
Mainland. It's yet to be registered. You can take it for free.

I doubt it will still be wawu since it is yet to be registt.

Ibrahimanees:
nemesis is that you.
I am surprised, shocked even, I have never seen you soooo riled up.

Hausa people said "shiru shiru ba tsoro ba ne"

Roughly meaning "just Because I am silent does not mean I am afraid"

Henry has succeeded in trolling our friends where it hurts.

I no know say dem dey yarn pidgin like this for Southern Cameroon.

The NAF Women of War is a great documentary and an eye opener too. Who would have thought women were actively flying ISR missions in the NE?

I hope KO Sani, the young lady undergoing training in USA, will fly on the Super Tucano.

This isn't necessary Henry.
No one should be made to feel guilty/ashamed for a crime they never supported and was committed before they were even born.

But the illustration is totally wrong you know.

Lmao, of course he knows Bide.

Working fine here in Abuja.

This is messed up

Heavy bombers ? They are useless for most africcan countries specially in north africa , you can use them only if you destroy most enemy air defense systems but if the enemy is a big fish , they will be easily getting down from far . now days they use small bombers like sukhoi 24 for algeria , (sukhoi 34 soon) or multirole fighters to.do the job.

In the past :

Egypt had the Tupolev 16 (pic 1 )
Libya was using the Tupolev 22 ( pic 2 intercepted by US navy)
Aigeria had 14 iliouchine 28 (pic3)
Morocco got also 4 illiouchine 28 in 60's 70's

Those bombers would really be useful to Nigerian Air Force. A single bombing run would ensure that those terrorists that normally appear in NAF ISR videos, running helter skelter, will have a quick meet with the 72virgins.
