you aint a patroit.. this planes have night vision, that means they can carry out nigh attacks unlike now.. boko boys no de fear face

This is one of the nations that the Kaduna Midget governor issued a threat yet they make your war equipment.

Can any truth come from the mouth of Lai? It baffles one that a man at the forefront of apc lies, falsehood and propaganda suddenly turn around to accuse others of the same thing. The man that relished himself in dishing out outright lies wants others to tell truth. You wonder why Buhari thinks Lai is the best man for the job of information minister. Maybe they taught we are in Hitler's Germany where a Goebbel dished out pure propaganda to deceive the Germans into buying into a senseless war. Anyway, how else can Buhari show his cluelessness? A news is as credible as a man delivering it. A man known for outright lies will find it difficult to convince any rational person he is telling the truth.

This country is becoming something else. Are all these not supposed to be a basic security standard for a country like Nigeria? What have we done to dis politicians? Is really painful

That is a job for apache helicopter my brother not a tucano. F15 does it damage before you see it. Tucano are slow you can hear it coming. We need drones don't let this people full you. We have people who can design and build this things in Nigeria its not rocket science anymore. That amount could have win the war and developed our military. If you look at the technology it is available in nigeria. Look at the body that is building toy cars, all you need to do is weaponized those toys to replace soldiers to fish out those terrorist not everything requires men on ground. We need to think smarter not work harder sometimes.

Hausa man no wonder he went for Tucano when f15 f16 are available.

You are right F15 fighter jets are much better than Super Tucano planes.Tucano planes are not even jets but more like Light aircraft

Lie. Tucanos took its first flight in 1999 and was brought into service first by 2003.

Although it's old, but not the world war oldness

All talk

again check the specs of a "super tucano" by the way a nation needs years of research to be eligible to start making arms and weapons. It takes years and a lot of money too.

This is a government of thievery. They paid for 12 Super Tucano aircraft at a cost of $496 million! An ancient aircraft used during the world war.
$496 million will get us up to 23F-16 fighter jets.

3 billion dollars will change Nigerian Air force into one that every country will recon with.

20 F-15C Eagle (600 million USD) for air support

4 Sukhoi PAK FA ($200 million USD) as 5th-gen stealth fighters. They're still under development. Won't hurt to be the first African country to own one.

30 F-16C Fighting Falcon/Viper (564 million USD): Extremely successful and we can use it as a multi-role fighter

2 E-3 Sentry AWACS (540 million USD): A pity that the so-called giant of Africa has none of these.

2 KC-10 Extender (265 million USD): For aerial refueling of the fighter jets. We can also use it as a cargo plane.

7 MQ-9 Reaper UAVs (118 million USD): Drone warfare is the future of aerial combat. We have a couple of chinese drones but these ones are one of the best.

15 UH-1Y Venom (262 million USD): Multi-role and all purpose choppers. We can use them ground attack, air assault, medevac....name it, this helicopter can do it

5 A-10 Warthogs (95 million USD): Awesome jets for close air support

1 B-1B Bomber (283 million USD): Supersonic bomber. It'll blow enemies into oblivion before they know what hit em

Embraer Lineage 1000 (60 million USD): For VIP transport. It'll have anti-missile counter-measures

We'll still have $13,000,000 left after buying all these. Please we should make the right choice in this incoming election. Vote someone who knows to push this country forward

You can get it at shoprite or Wal-Mart?

Or maybe you need the express permission of selling nation?

@Naija Politico


The Federal Government says it is yet to take delivery of any of the 12 A-29 Super Tucano Attack Aircraft, being manufactured by an American aerospace contractor, Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC).

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed disclosed this in Abuja on Thursday at the launch of the National Campaign in Support of the Military.

Naija Politico reports the Federal Government in February, 2018 placed an order for the 12 Super Tucano aircraft at a cost of $496 million.

Responding to questions from newsmen at the launch, Mohammed said earlier delivery of the aircraft would boost the war against insurgency, which had metamorphosed from a rash-tag home grown Boko Haram group to a world teste terrorist network.

Mohammed, who solicited the support and prayers of all Nigerians for the troops fighting insurgency, added that Nigeria was still getting the backing of other countries through the Multinational Joint Task Force.

Mohammed said the launch of the National Campaign in Support of the Military was to seek the support of the citizens for the troops.

He admonished Nigerians to stop vilification, insults and other acts capable of of dampening the morale of the military, especially those fighting insurgency.

The minister stressed that the men and women in uniform who were risking all, including making the supreme sacrifice, to keep the country safe deserved the support and prayers of all Nigerians, not vilification.

“Doctored videos and pictures purporting to show massive military casualties are willfully circulated online.

“Such unpatriotic acts are discouraging and demoralizing our troops, and must stop forthwith,” he said.

The minister also solicited the support of the media to play the leading role in the campaign.

“We want to appeal to the media to show utmost professionalism in reporting the insurgency.

“They must seek official clarification before reporting casualty figures, and must realise that the military will not release the identities of soldiers who have paid the ultimate price without first notifying their families.

“They must also not reveal national security as well as military plans, since such acts can put our troops in harm’s way,” he said.

Speaking in the same vein, Brig.-Gen. John Agim, Director, Defence Information expressed delight over the launch, adding that the time to stand in support of the military was long overdue.

He noted that the responsible journalism was needed more than ever, owing to the fact that publicity fuels terrorism.

To buttress his claim, Agim recalled an incidence in 2016 when 18 of the most wanted Boko Haram members escaped into Lagos metropolis and the military had to keep the news a top secret.

He noted that if such scoop had leaked out to any journalist, it would be unpatriotic and irresponsible to publish the news because of the trauma it would have caused among Lagos residents.

The Defence spokesperson also recalled when a journalist called him for confirmation of a purported story that the military was short of and rationing ammunition in the North-East.

He said if the fake news was even to be real, it fell into the categories of stories that ought not to be published by responsible journalists because of its tendency to make people unsecured and lose hope.

Agim appealed to the media to avoid publishing stories that would break the spirit of the fighting force, promote cowardice and cause panic among citizens.

The event was attended by Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman, Director, Army Public Relations, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, Director Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Airforce and Commodore Suleiman Dahum, Director Information, Nigerian Navy.
