 The chief of the air staff, Air Marshal Hassan Abu Bakar, says the newly introduced high-tech multiple-purpose special mission aircraft by the Nigerian Air Force NAF will enhance the ongoing fight against insurgency, mandatory and general insecurity in an accurate and timely manner without collateral damage to innocent Nigerians across the six geopolitical zones of the country. Abu Bakar disclosed this at a reception event of the newly acquired strong force multiplier Diamond 62 multi-purpose platform on the 303 medium air lift group in lowering the choir state capital. These airplanes, those issues will be highly, highly mitigated. Now we can target very accurately, very timely. We have also very real-time communication between the airborne and the ground troops. So it's a very strong force multiplier. Now it's going to enhance operations in terms of efficiency and effectiveness in all the theatres of operation because we can see how we can engage in real time. The introduction of this aircraft will enhance security, national security, and now domestic security. We're looking at it from an angle of our state. It's important to have proper intelligence and surveillance. Without intelligence, you can't solve crime. You can't go at the non-state actors. The federal government is in the process of acquiring additional combat platforms for Nigerian Air Force. Some of these include the Augusta 109 trekker, the TK-129 attack helicopters. The service is also expecting to take delivery of the Beechcraft King Air 360 aircraft before the end of the year. I have directed the appropriate branches to program more personnel for training on the aircraft and associated systems for effective deployment and support in the field.
