Nigerian Airforce deploys two Supersonic aircrafts to Mali

The Nigerian Air Force, yesterday, commenced moves to deploy two of its fighter aircraft and a transport aircraft for the combat operations in Mali.

The aircrafts to be deployed for the operation are the F7 supersonic jet fighter, the latest and most modern in the NAF inventory, and the Alpha jet fighter aircraft aka ‘Dudu Bird’ which fast tracked the surrender of the rebels in both the Liberian and Sierra Leonean civil wars.

The senate yesterday also approved the deployment of 1200 soldiers to Mali to join the French forces that are currently staging an onslaught against the Islamist militia in Mali.

In the same vein, the Chief of Army Staff, COAS, General Azubuike Ihejirika, yesterday explained why Nigerian forces are participating in the war against terrorism in the region.

He said: “Our effort in Mali is to compliment our effort at home, to bring peace. We have evidence that some of the terrorists operating in Nigeria today are trained in Mali.

“As at yesterday (Wednesday), we are aware of the influx of some terrorists into the country trained in Mali. So, Nigeria will not only be supporting the resolution of the international community, but also enhancing its own internal security and that of its immediate neighbours.”

“Once an apparent pillar of democracy in West Africa, Mali has drastically deteriorated in 2012, with a coup which brought the elected government in March 2012 by a combination of armed groups to take over the vast areas of the desert north soon after. This, to say the least, is a threat to peace in the region and the world at large.

“African nations and the international community have expressed growing concern over the continued occupation of Mali’s north since it could provide a safe haven to Al-Qaeda linked extremist groups and criminal gangs.

“The African Union had consequently endorsed a plan for a military intervention to regain control of Mali’s vast desert north from Islamic rebels and restore the authority of the state.” He concluded.

Meanwhile, the Senate has approved the deployment, after deliberating behind closed doors for almost two hours.

Most fighter planes including the old-fashioned MiGs and Alpha jets that NAF has are supersonic. So what is the big deal?

Why is the emphasis on the number of air crafts deployed.
