THE NAF SF has at least on one occasion videotaped one of their classified ops in the N'WEST according to @don klericuzo
where they were ambushed
result : One officer was killed
the rest of the team behaved professionally wiped out the ambush party and retrieved the officer's body.

Thats because they're well equipped and have the best of technology and equipments at their disposal. If such level of investment on Abba Kyari and his unit is replicated in all police formation, or at least across say one unit in each geo-political zone there is no operation he is doing now that won't be done efficiently.
Forget that we always abuse the Police, they have very brilliant & dedicated personnel it's just that most of them are handicapped wrt access to the right tools to carryout their job.

You miss the point completely, the embraer aircraft in its basic form is simply a turboprop aircraft everything is a retrofit to make it the A29. It was made not as fighter at its initiation. That attribute was added much later.

The tucano was built from day one as a military aircraft. The first aircraft was called tucano emb 301 and emb 311. The proposal was to the Brazilian AF.

The Embraer was built as a military training aircraft, absolutely correct. What's the particular point in that❓

Don't confuse yourself.
Emb 311 and 312 was designed from day one for counter insurgency and was not a simple turboprop as you suggested to which I replied .

....komekn.
There are so many aircraft, indeed the Alpha Jet was instituted as a trainer. Buy today it's probably out most effective and dependable ground attack asset over the decades. Yet it was essentially a training aircraft at inception....

Alpha jet was designed to handle light attack none was a retrofit from basic.

They have something similar to this already: The ZBD-04 or Type 04.
They love copy-cat of every Russian hardware.

Now we see We use drones in the battlefield..
For those who thinks we don't

The GNA forces had conducted a successful aerial attack to South Sirte and destroyed a Russian made Panstir air defence system.

Looks like some smoke damage but missiles didn’t cook off.

That sound you hear is CIA putting in a large bid to MiT for who can run the reverse engineering program. After watching the video of the drone strike of the Panstir system, it seems it was not operational while on the move. If not it should have detected that there his a drone overhead or should we say this systems are overrated or fails sometimes.
