The Federal Government of Nigeria is expected to receive Six Super Tucanos Combat Aircraft ordered from the United States in mid-July.
According to presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, 14 Nigerian pilots are currently training with the aircraft at the Moody Air Force Base in Georgia.
The Combat Aircraft is expected to eliminate insurgency in the country’s North-East and the increasing threat of banditry in North-West.
Mr. Garba posted a video of what appeared to be test-flight operations on his verified Twitter handle.
The video was credited to the Sierra Nevada Corporation, a private American aerospace firm.
The announcement comes after the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Ibrahim Attahiru, appeared before a committee of lawmakers at the House of Representatives on Monday.
The committee is reviewing the purchase, use, and control of arms, ammunition, and related hardware by the military, paramilitary, and other law enforcement agencies in Nigeria.
