The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has recently received the first of four Diamond DA62 MPP (Multi-Purpose Platform) special mission aircraft for aerial surveillance missions.
These versatile aircraft are set to enhance Nigeria’s ability to conduct intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), and a range of other missions crucial for national security and peacekeeping efforts.
The final two Diamond DA62 MPP aircraft arrived on October 6, via Ghana, and then in Lagos.
