Do you think this is the best defence for Tanks? When defending a location.

Tanks in ditches.

The Russians do it a lot, also Ukrainians, I've seen Turks in Syria doing the same thing.

Are 155mm artillery rounds automatic like a hand gun or light assault weapon?

Or do soldiers need to load each and every one like a bolt action sniper?

Jacksonville, EUA, April 17, 2020 – Embraer Defense & Security and Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) announced the first of 12 A-29 Super Tucano light attack, combat and reconnaissance aircraft for the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) successfully completed its inaugural flight at the production facility in Jacksonville, Florida.

The full fleet of A-29 Super Tucano aircraft for the NAF are currently in production by SNC and Embraer at the Jacksonville facility with delivery to the NAF expected on schedule in 2021.

The NAF A-29 aircraft will now begin mission modification and final testing in Centennial, Colorado. Following final testing, before delivery, NAF pilots will train in the aircraft.

“This is an exciting milestone in the production of these A-29s for the Nigerian Air Force. The Jacksonville production line is active, and Embraer and SNC look forward to seeing these aircraft continue to roll off the line in the coming months,” says Jackson Schneider, president & CEO, Embraer Defense & Security.

“The aircraft met or exceeded all the requirements and we are very pleased with the successful flight,” stated Ed Topps, vice president of Tactical Aircraft Systems and programs for SNC’s IAS business area. “SNC and our partner, Embraer, are certain the Nigerian Air Force will be pleased with these aircraft.”

The combat-proven A-29 Super Tucano is the gold standard of light attack combat and reconnaissance aircraft around the world and is designed and built for the mission in Nigeria.

The A-29 Super Tucano is the most reliable and cost-effective solution for basic and advanced flight and combat training, close air support operations, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), armed over-watch, counterinsurgency and irregular warfare scenarios.

The aircraft has already been selected by 15 air forces around the world to deliver cost-effective close air support and reconnaissance capabilities.

In December 2018, SNC and Embraer Defense & Security were awarded the contract to deliver 12 A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft to the Nigerian Air Force. The contract for the NAF includes ground training devices, mission planning systems, mission debrief systems, spares, ground support equipment, alternate mission equipment, contiguous U.S. interim contractor support, outside of continental U.S. (OCONUS) contractor logistic support and field service representatives for OCONUS support.

nemesis8u:

Any news ?

Xbee007:

USA blocked that deal during Obama era due to the Rann incident.

nemesis8u:


And ironically Obama wanted to eradicate terrorism around the world . Mumus

Chronology of WHO fuckery

Xbee007:


Liberals can be unreasonable sometimes.

Xbee007:

I watched the whole thing play out on TV. Right from, beginning I knew this is where we were going all along. Disappointed WHO, supposedly filled with experts, didn't see this coming.

nemesis8u:


WHO is not run by experts , it is run by appointee who manages to get the most votes. The experts are always sidelined.

Irrelevant people with ideological connection or subservient mentality like liberals , political appointees always end up in top positions.

While scientists engineers doctors who are totally dedicated in their work are sidelined because they serve their profession only , not to some ideology , country or corruption.

nemesis8u:


No such thing as a reasonable liberal. They decieve with half truths.

The word liberal is an oxymoron in today's world.

It is a facade behind which people who feed on the misery of others, hide.

Parasites last as long as they are tolerated aren't they.
