The United States of America has revealed why the A-29 Super Tucanos were sold to Nigerian government.<\/p>\n

The US\u2019 Charg\u00e9 d\u2019Affaires Kathleen FitzGibbon said the A-29 Super Tucanos<\/a> were sold to Nigeria to strengthen the country\u2019s fight against terrorism.<\/p>\n

FitzGibbon disclosed this during the inspection of the newly arrived first six American Sierra Nevada Corporation\/Embraer Defense and Security A-29 \u201cSuper Tucano\u201d Light Attack aircraft on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

According to a statement by United States Diplomatic Mission to Nigeria, FitzGibbon was quoted as saying that the aircraft represented a historic level of cooperation achieved between the U.S. and Nigerian militaries.<\/p>\n

FitzGibbon stated that, \u201cBeyond the new hardware that you see on this runway, this program has brought our two militaries closer in formal training, professional development, air base construction, logistics planning, and negotiations. We are proud to partner with Nigeria in its \u2018whole of government\u2019 approach to end violent extremism and ensure a more stable, prosperous country for all Nigerians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ambassador Mary Beth Leonard, also welcomed the pilots and aircraft to Massachusetts on the first leg of their trans-Atlantic flight.<\/p>\n

The statement added, \u201cThe Super Tucano is a dual-pilot turboprop aircraft built as a workhorse combat air platform, equipped for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and for precision air-to-ground strike missions. The next six aircraft are scheduled for delivery later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Super Tucano platform for Nigeria is the United States\u2019 largest Foreign Military Sales program in Sub-Saharan Africa, valued at almost $500 million. This program follows the Department of Defense\u2019s \u201cTotal Package Approach\u201d model and includes spare parts for several years of operation, contract logistics support, munitions, and a multi-year construction project to improve Kainji\u2019s infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough this program, the U.S. Air Force\u2019s 81st Fighter Squadron at Moody Air Force Base, Georgia, trained Nigerian pilots and maintenance crews to U.S. standards. Training also emphasizes the Law of Armed Conflict and Civilian Casualty Mitigation, which are fundamental principles of the Nigerian military\u2019s professional education and training.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the A-29 Super Tucano purchase, the Nigerian Air Force also has become a founding member of the U.S. Air Force\u2019s \u201cCombined Light Attack Experiment,\u201d which is developing Light Attack global best-practice tactics and doctrine for the 21st century.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
