Meanwhile, with two Trekkers already acquired, the additional 10 are expected by early 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Akinboyewa said the Air Chief also inspected the six M-346 jets earlier purchased by the service from Leonardo, adding that three of the jets were almost completed.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cWhile in Italy, the CAS made a strategic stopover at the Leonardo Headquarters in Rome, where he engaged with top executives to consolidate a long-term partnership between the NAF and the company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe also inspected the first batch of six M-346 jets, noting that 3 are nearing completion, and evaluated key support systems required to boost the NAF\u2019s operational readiness. He also stressed the need for a maintenance hub in Nigeria to provide long-term support, especially for the M-346 fleet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Akinboyewa noted that the M-346 jets have advanced features capable of both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions.<br \/>\nHe added that the M-346 would significantly strengthen Nigeria\u2019s air combat capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Akinboyewa also said the AW-109 would bolster combat support roles such as Combat Search and Rescue, tactical airlift and Medical Evacuation amongst others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe M-346 and Trekker acquisitions are key steps towards fleet renewal, in consonance with the CAS Command Philosophy to transform the NAF for greater agility and resilience, with emphasis on the optimization of force structure and establishment for enhanced operational effectiveness,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Already, the service in the last two years had taken delivery of 12 Super Tucano, two additional DA-62 surveillance aircraft and T-129 ATAK helicopters, and two Diamond-62 Multi-Purpose aircraft among others The Nigerian Air Force is set to acquire another set of fighter helicopters to boost its combat capabilities.
