Well these vehicles are not to be used for direct combat purpose...

I pray so.

bidexiii:
Yeap they are....?

His these your first time of seeing them....

They are rugged vehicles buy I don't think they are up armored.

Well, to me we don't need soft skinned vehicles again. Enough of those widow makers. Let them buy our soldiers some armoured vehicles.

Aren't they all soft skinned? Just exactly like the Toyota hiluxes we have in abundant.

Explorers:
I mean sick, crazy, insane.

Okay, I get it now.

Explorers, I think it is SLEEK you meant to type not SICK.

hehehe Bros u wicked oh

I don't blame him anyway. He just got tired of the whole failed promises. It was literally like living in dreamland. Always hopelessly hoping Nigeria would get this and that while other countries were living our dream. Could you believe that Nigeria has been chasing after the Super Tucano since forever?
Beegeagle had the medium and the audience but lacked real content. Nigeria Defense Acquisition was supposed to be his source of information but the lull in activities means you can only push long enough before running out of juice. Maybe he will reconsider if JF-17 and the Tucano arrives and I hope he does.

bidexiii:
It has been long when I last visited his blog...

He is now an history teacher on Twitter.

jln115:
You can't comprehend it since this argument has nothing to do with your original post.

So why am I getting so many mentions from them? They kept tagging my monicker in their posts and were busy quoting each other.

I can't even comprehend the essence of further arguments on this matter.
Paragraph 1& 2 of this screenshot below has already quashed the genesis of the contention. So let's move on.

Why am I getting so many mention? Did I collect someone's favorite toy?

Earlier today Pastorpreneur Ibitoye Adekunle made an assertion capable of turning Kwara State, the State of Harmony, into State of Chaos. He claimed Muslims attacked his church without providing a shred of evidence. He deliberately left the part that the hoodlums that attacked his church also attacked Muslim's procession just around the same location.

Although, the post has since been taken down by Facebook for violating their rules, it behoves on us the good people of Kwara state to let the world know that despite the fact that Muslims dominate other religions 9 to 1, conflicts stemmed by religion has never happened before. We are good loving people!
Come invest in our land. We won't judge you because of the sky daddy you choose to worship or your political stance.
Bless you all.

From the way I type, does it seem likely that if I want to emigrate, it will be Libya?

The MODS deleted your old account? I was wondering where the hate filled Alcatraz005 was. Well this new year is a chance for you to be a better person. Make sure your comments on NL are worth showing to your loved ones without them wincing and recoiling.

I thought this happens only in Nigeria o. I didn't know Algerians do it too and Algerian1 never posted it before.

oreayo2011:
be very careful when you make wishes because reality might be unbearable.

What are you scared of? The OP just posted nonsense and paraded them as facts as if he has proof of heavens existence.
Make the best of your life on earth because heaven is just a façade. That there is proven fact!

Jbfranklin:
I do agree with you when it comes they affordability , they price is a wow!..
but you overestimated it .
you said something about they YF-16
well I don't practically agree with your comparison between they super tuncano and YF-16 (well a debate per se) ...YF-16 or any turbo jet driven aircraft is highly and largely greater than your normal
propeller driven jet especially they "Tucano"
in stealth and all they points you laid out in especially air combat trainingthis quote..

I totally agree with you when it comes to affordability
cause that shit cost millions of dollars atleast (34.9mil ) from my last check
,

an then they maintainance fund

screams a fortune
I am an aircraft fanactic flying is my hobby , I love they air .... even though I don't have they opportunity to fly I still pursue my dream...



I like your interest in planes and would like your advice cause am trying to build one...

bro they might be fast but anything prop is kinda odd to me...
a war machine of our present time should have at least evolved...
planes used in they Hitler war though a marvelous invention had great flaws in contrast to speed...
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...
Buhari I don't practically blame you...
you are a good man

I blame those in government with they capability to do things but don't...

What you guys don't understand is that every aircraft has a purpose for which it was built.
Some aircraft are Trainer Aircraft, Interceptors, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Long range bomber, transport aircraft and logistics, Close Air Support, Ground Attack, Fighter Aircraft, Air Superiority Aircraft etc... Some aircrafts have combination of these capabilities hence they are called Multirole Aircrafts. Others with single capability are called Single-role Aircraft.
What if I tell you that the A29 Super Tucano is better than an F16 at what it does?
1. It is used for reconnaissance: it can stay over your head monitoring your movement for several hours without you knowing. It can fly in all whether even at night.
2. It is used for CAS: Every soldier's morale will be boosted knowing that there is an eye in the sky watching over them. They can call for airstrikes within minutes. It is very necessary in war against BHT. We all hear tales of soldiers battling terrorists for several hours without any Air support.
3. It is very cheap: Do you know how much it cost to keep a F16, Rafael, or SU35 in the air per hour? A-29 doesn't even need a standard runway to fly and land. It can land on your village road and remain intact. It average speed is 323mph.
4. It fields modern avionics: It FLIR pods allow it to fly comfortably at night and can see every warm blooded animals with its infrared cameras.
5. Countermeasures: It has countermeasures against incoming threat such as RPGs, guided missiles etc.
It is exactly what we need.

Thank you for this info. May God bless.

dometome:
the US is the maker of the so called super tucano. it is a glorified spit fire

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.

nemesis4u:


do u know Americans will be paying periodic visits to ensure that u dont even unscrew one nut

its part of every arms sales agreement the Americans make with other countries , but nevertheless it is prudent to assume that there r ways to hoodwink them

u and i could try , provided i get to carry off one

There we go. People from Mars are already showing interest in the CLASSIFIED weapons. I guess we will have to guard them 24/7 with mean looking guys when they finally arrive.

ssaengine:
The original comment I replied to was along the lines of "we're getting guided missiles & classified technology".

My point is Nigeria is getting nothing more than any other Tucano customer has received. It's a straight arms deal.

You are just stating a known fact which no one is disputing.

nely:
my brother cement cost

ssaengine:
You realise that the term classified has nothing to do with how the weapon actually works? The algorithms. BAE is not giving Nigeria the blueprints of how APKWS works (and never will in a million years) nor are the Americans with Paveway. Classified information relates to functionality of the weapon, something that all arms deals include.

You're getting the crucial/secret information regarding use of the weapon. Flight envelopes, limitations, effect of cloud cover etc etc. Basically the secret information pilots need to know.

You just wouldn't let this go except you win the argument .
No one said they will reveal the technicalities of the munitions to us. I don't even think they will allow NAF to produce basic spare parts of the aircraft. I meant CLASSIFIED in the sense that they definitely won't be happy to see Nigerians probing the workings of their intellectual property behind their back. Neither will they be happy to see Nigerian government supplying such weapons to third party without their approval. We all saw how US government blocked the sale of Tucano from Brazilian government 2 NG. Asking for blueprints is akin to walking into Coca Cola headquarter and asking for the unique recipe just because we have dozens of Coca cola factories in Nigeria.

My fact is in the tail end of the link provided...

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.***

[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

Sir, the qualms in this contract that we glowingly want to praise without due diligence is that these 12 aircrafts are ex-USAF planes that have seen better days. Must we always buy "tokunbo " when less endowed nations like Afghanistan are going for new platforms?

Before long, these birds would start dropping from the Skies even with the best of maintenance putting our husbands at the cruel end of another book harm decapitation video.

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.

ayd91:
I like the transparency the Air force has adopted. In the past the cost of the transaction would have never been made public.
Kudos.

That is the best thing about all the defense procurement since the beginning of Buhari's administration, TRANSPARENCY. No middleman or defense contractors. No shady movement of cash from countries to countries. It has been all the way. Bless Buhari.

maestro2000:
This is a good development, but i don't agree with buying these second hand planes. I believe as a nation we are buoyant enough to acquire new ones or better still upgraded ones from the US government. I am sure that the purchase price for these second hand aircrafts are way more higher than acquiring new ones. The US government will never use this for airshow not to talk of actual scouting.

They are brand new not second hand!
Although, Brazilian government was going to sell 3 to us out of their storage facilities. I don't know if the deal is still active or has been cancelled.

BBPIA:
Okay, but we have different degrees of catarrh, the mild, the moderate and the severe one. If your catarrh is not mild or moderate, the simple antihistamines would not do the work. You need something better.

Maybe you need a xylometazoline nasal spray with a cetrizine tab

I will just do a little search on Google for that cos the catarrh is still there till now, although not as as severe as it was before.
