Chadian air force TAI Hurkus C light attack aircraft. Chad relies on three TAI Hurkus C attack aircraft acquired from Turkey in 2023 for COIN operations.

Prop jobs are the workhorse for many air forces fighting insurgencies because of their blend of cost-effectiveness, and precision firepower. Their slower speed compared to supersonic jets allows for longer loiter time and better target identification in low intensity conflicts.

The A-29 Super Tucano used by Nigeria is arguably the most dominant COIN aircraft, designed specifically for low intensity conflict and rugged, austere environments.
