God bless Buhari
God bless Nigeria
I know some corrupt elements Will wish that the money would have been shared instead of buying these planes.
Had it been those thieves bought something like this in their 16 wasted yrs,by now we would have moved to another level.
I know some pigs are in pain now.
I cant forget when Abuja was a no go area because of boko haram.
God bless Buhari.

People underestimate this fighter plane because it's a propeller plane not knowing that it's a lot more functional and sophisticated than it looks

BAE Systems was awarded a $225 million contract to produce almost 10,000 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System units for the United States, Nigeria and the Netherlands, the U.S. Department of Defense said in a release.

The $225,034,247 firm-fixed-price delivery order was issued against a 2017 indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract (N00019-17-D-5517) to procure 9,999 Lot 7, full-rate production APKWS II units, the Wednesday, February 6 release said.

Work is expected to be completed in September 2020.

While the release said the procurement is “in support of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and the governments of Nigeria and the Netherlands,” the foreign military sales component of the contract was the full value. “Fiscal 2019 procurement of ammunition (Army, Navy and Marine Corps and Air Force); and Foreign Military Sales funds in the amount of $225,034,247 will be obligated at time of award,” the release said.

APKWS upgrades 2.75-inch (70 mm) rockets to a semi-active laser guided precision weapon. The system is a design conversion for Hydra 70 unguided rockets turning them into low-yield precision-guided munitions to help avoid collateral damage.

Costs for the system appear stable – in June 2018, BAE Systems was awarded a $224 million contract to produce 10,185 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System guidance units.

So you want to use expensive jet fighters to fight terrorist that don't have an airforce?

In my opinion, the contract is inflated, these kinds of aircrafts can be assembled in Nigeria. I like to understand the role of the DICON[b][/b] (https://dicon.gov.ng/military-products-2/)

Years ago I was researching the development of the Air Beetle trainer that was jointly developed by DICON and West Germany.

justuschi50:
this is not a fighter, it's is a trainer jet. Trainer jet are use for training fighter pilot to prepare for the real combat, I just can't believe Nigeria is applying this in real combat

adanny01:


You said you don't know but you still conclude its vintage.

Well, its not a fighter jet, it is a light attack aircraft, it is brand new and made by Brazil.

Google fit help your reasoning sha.
