    The Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Hasan Abubakar, has disclosed that the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) will receive 51 additional platforms to boost counter-insurgency and counterterrorism operations in the country.

    Abubakar stated this while addressing officers and men during his first operational tour of NAF units in Makurdi, Benue State, according to a statement on Friday by the Air Force spokesperson, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet.

    He noted that the acquisition of additional platforms would bolster training, air power employment, and projection.

    The platforms according to the Chief of Air Staff are expected to include two Agusta 109 Trekker Multi-role helicopters, two Beechcraft King Air 360, three Diamond DA-62 surveillance aircraft, and six T-129 ATAK helicopters.

    Other pending acquisitions include 2 CASA-295 medium airlift/surveillance aircraft, 12 AH-1Z attack helicopters, and 24 M-346 attack aircraft.

    He added that all the acquisitions demonstrate the Nigerian Government’s commitment to equipping the NAF for the safe conduct of training and agile airpower employment to meet the Nation’s security challenges.

    Speaking further, Air Vice Marshal Abubakar noted that the NAF would continue to enhance cooperation and jointness as part of a whole-of-nation approach to quickly resolving the security challenges bedevilling the country.

    “While the NAF augments its airpower measures and approaches, it will also continue to promote seamless interoperability of equipment and joint force employment by the various services,” Abubakar said.

    He also urged the personnel to cooperate with other services and security agencies to meet the high expectations of Nigerians in the Armed Forces, restore peace and security, and ensure a safe and prosperous Nation.
