Nigerian Air Force set for training on A-29 Super Tucano

The 81st Fighter Squadron, based at Moody Air Force Base, Ga., to provide the training for Nigerian Air Force pilots and maintenance personnel. Training will be provided by the 81st Fighter Squadron, an existing A-29 Light Air Support training squadron that currently trains Afghan Air Force personnel. This program will ensure the Nigerian Air Force receives the support and training it needs to safely and effectively employ the A-29 aircraft.

Air Force officials announced April 10 that Moody Air Force Base will host a stateside mission to train Nigerian Air Force pilots and maintenance personnel on the A-29 Super Tucano aircraft.

This temporary program will fall under the 81st Fighter Squadron, an existing A-29 Light Air Support training squadron that currently trains Afghan Air Force personnel. This program will ensure the Nigerian Air Force receives the support and training it needs to safely and effectively employ the A-29 aircraft.

A-29 training has been conducted at Moody for the Afghan Air Force since 2014. Mirroring training for Afghan partners, U.S. Air Force advisors will provide flying, aircraft maintenance, and ground training device instructors and operators to support training of the Nigerian forces.

The new mission is anticipated to bring approximately 100 additional personnel to Moody, including Nigerian military, civilians and contractors required to support training on 12 aircraft. The program will train an initial cadre of Nigerian personnel, to include both maintenance personnel and pilots, who will become instructors.

The additional A-29 aircraft, procured by the Nigerian government, will in turn train additional personnel on this weapons system to conduct offensive and defensive fires operations and reconnaissance and surveillance operations throughout Nigeria to combat terrorism.

Under current plans, the aircraft may begin to arrive at Moody AFB in the summer of 2020 and the unit is planned to become fully operational in the winter of 2021.

Is far far better than granting them amnesty and releasing them back into the society.

They are fighting a useless fight so they deserve no mercy.

If the Chadian president was the one that has been ruling Nigeria since 2015, boko haram/ISWAP might have been a thing of the past. Buhari and business men like buratai posing as Generals are a disaster.

Even though they have been residing in the Chad part of Lake Chad for years? SMH.

what's chad budget for their military? Nigeria should be able to defeat Iswap and boko haram to an extent they won't be able to move freely not to talk of still controlling some local government.

The only difference between GEJ and PMB tenure is that, boko haram controlled more land mass during GEJ tenure than buhari tenure.

We shall see how this present operation shall turn out, I hope we won't be here talking about boko haram still moving freely and comfortably in some part of Nigeria by this time next year.

Honestly speaking, Nigeria is one of the most armed forces in Africa and the world at large, but I think Nigeria is taking a long time to wipe BH.
The service chiefs should change their tactics and approach.
Also Nigeria should allow ECOWAS form a coalition force including Ghana, Senegal and i'vory coast, these countries soldiers are not facing any insurgency threat for now.
And honestly, Nigeria's service rifles are very poor...the AK's are old, at least Ghana and Senegal use M-16 series.
The battle is not only Chad's.

Nigeria is Intentionally delaying this war because some peeps are massively enriching themselves from it.

A Country where the Airforce Jets never show up during attacks only to show us videos of Bombings on YouTube.

Even ISWAP attack FOBs knowing fully well no Jet fighter will come for backups.

The war is here to stay bro, its only a pity the boys in the trench will continually pay with their lives. But that is not an issue as recruitment will always take place at the Army Depot.

Let's enjoy the media Military Operation. Its now a week the COAS has been in Borno well maybe we are still re-strategizing.

Dead Men Tell No Tales, which is why, if Sheku is in the NE and he’s captured, it may be in the greeter interest of Nigeria, he is brought in and kept alive.

Please don’t respond to him.
It is not worth the effort.
Much respect for your work.

Owen, see how low you have reduced yourself. You might think this is a faceless forum and as such doesnt hold weight to your real life activities.. but even at that, you should be ashamed and bury your head in shame because you have made your e-profile a ridicule in such that no one wants to reply nor associate with you. Even begging people not to reply to you.

You re a shameless idiot wherever you are and take that as a compliment... thank you

I know I should know better, but sometimes I am just sad that people can't see when there is a concerted effort against their country and they go along with it for political reasons.

I have supported the Nigerian military right from my teenage years through all sorts of Goverments, whether military or political (regardless of political party).

Nigerian society is not perfect. Why should the military be any different. These same people will then shift their allegiances once their political leader is in power even though things might be worse.

Even if you buy the .latest F15s or IFVs going, they will find fault. SMH.

Troops in Yobe no get joy...
BHT also keep losing in Yobe why...

Let's analyse When they Repelled the attack they counted 10+ dead bodies.During mopup they discovered More..
Possibly the survivals will Run with their guns possibly
If you want more gory image A guy on twitter will provide u with it .
According to him it's too gory for the eyes to see..

Xbee007:

I don't think the NA media team is so dumb they will release statements like this if it isn't true.
A toddler can do better lying.
I am also not saying it is true but a lot of things could have happened. Maybe the terrorist had time to evacuate their wounded and mostof their weapons before retreating. Maybe our soldiers took the weapons for theirselves and didn't report it. The memo said they initially hought the killed 10 of the terrorist but later found several other bodies.
Count the number of weapons they reported to have been captured and see the correlation.




But why is their figures always rounded up

1. The Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI has inflicted further damages on armed bandits in Katsina State by disrupting their attack on inhabitants of Kurechi and Qurzan Maikuka Villages of Dutsin-Ma Local Government Area of the State today, 18 April 2020. This occurred when a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Agusta 109E (M) helicopter, which was providing close air support to troops of the Land Component operating West of Gusau in Zamfara State, was redirected to Kurechi and Qurzan Maikuka following reports of an armed bandits’ attack on civilians at the 2 communities.

2. The helicopter arrived the scene and engaged the bandits, neutralizing some of them while few others escaped with injuries. Thus, the 2 communities were rescued as a result of the operation.

3. In a related development, the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, is scheduled to hold a meeting tomorrow, 19 April 2020, with Air Officers Commanding Operational Commands as well as the Commander of the Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE and Air Component Commanders of various Theatres of Operations across the Country to work out strategies for enhancing NAF’s support for all Internal Security Operations.

4. The Armed Forces of Nigeria wishes to thank all Nigerians for their support and encourages the general public to continue providing useful information that would facilitate its operations to restore peace and security to all affected parts of the Country.
