target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nigerian Air Force<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sabatino stated this when he paid a visit to Nigerian Air Force Headquarters on Wednesday, 17 April 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The Federal Government is acquiring 24 M-346 fighter aircraft from Messrs Leonardo of Italy in a move that marked a significant step in Nigeria Air Force\u2019s ongoing efforts to modernize its fleet as well as bolster its operation effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>The aircraft expected to arrive in Nigeria in four trenches of six each, with the first trench billed to arrive before the end of the year 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the development in a statement on Friday, the Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force, Edward Gabkwet said the Air Chief, Abubakar, commended the move.<\/p>\n<p>Gabkwet said, \u201cWhile thanking the CAS for the warm reception accorded him and his entourage, Mr Sabatino also stated that further engagement between the NAF and his Company would be necessary to conclude other aspects of the project such as the commencement of pilots and engineering training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeaking further, Mr Claudio assured the CAS that when finally completed, the maintenance of the aircraft fleet would not constitute a challenge as there is a binding agreement for Leonardo\u2019s maintenance support for a minimum of 25 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe also noted that the manufacturing of the aircraft fleet has reached an appreciable state and is being carried out with the utmost skill and expertise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe assurance of long-term

training capabilities and augmenting operational effectiveness in diverse mission scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoreover, the prospect of close air support, Air Interdiction, and tactical reconnaissance as well as Advanced Pilot Training capabilities inherent in the M-346 fighter aircraft heralded a new prospect for NAF\u2019s operational versatility.<\/p>\n<p>The CAS further proposed the establishment of a dedicated Program Management Office, tasked with overseeing all facets of the collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAir Marshal Abubakar also used the opportunity of the visit to reiterate the significance of Messr Leonardo\u2019s physical presence in Nigeria as a maintenance hub for their long list of African clientele, while also emphasizing the need for close coordination and synergy
