March 3, 2019: BRF confirms the destruction of the following additional Nigerian Aircraft, costing an estimated 287.2 million US dollars:
1. Antonov AN-72A Coaler

Granted Biafra has an interesting history. Back to aviation content in the 1967-70 Nigerian civil war the Biafran side use modified Bo-208s as ground attack planes.

Wow
I was also on their page.
They can shot down planes witch are up to know not developed. Like a AN-380 Airbus or a 4 Engine AN-12 ( the AN10 is the predecessor of the AN12 with 2 engines).
Also the USAF or National Guard must lost a KC -135, cause the only other operator (French Airforce) have another version.
I think the shot down planes are „fake news“.

This is laughable really.

There is no such thing as a "BRF No Fly Zone" anywhere in Nigeria, let alone in Kwara State which is not anywhere near the Biafra region of Nigeria. The only area where there is any risk when flying is in NE Nigeria near Maiduguri, where there is a small risk of small arms fire from Boko Haram when below about FL40.

There have not been any aircraft shot down anywhere in Nigeria, with the exception of possibly a NAF Alpha jet about 2015 in Borno State, which was more likely to have been a technical issue anyway. All the other losses listed are accidents, pure and simple.
