The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Isiaka Amao, has said the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is expected to take delivery of 55 fighter helicopters by December 2022.
This was disclosed on Thursday, during the two-day Force operation seminar in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital.
He listed the new aircraft to include two Agusta 109 Trekker multi-role helicopters, two Beechcraft King Air 360, and four Diamond DA-62 surveillance aircraft.
Others include three Wing Loong II UCAVs, six T-129 ATAK helicopters, two CASA-295 medium airlift/ surveillance aircraft, 12 AH- 1Z attack helicopters, and 24 M-346 attack aircraft.
According to the NAF chief, other new acquisitions would be delivered in 2023 as the expected helicopter would add to the 38 fighter aircraft previously acquired by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
