That's not were the argument started mate!

Henry240:


So, who started the argument?

jln115:

Why don't you check who started this argument mate, before calling us ignorent.

jln115:

You did! By deliberately igniting an old argument for the sole purpose of getting a reaction.

Henry240:


The comment was directed at frum, and I ended with an affirmation. That's not an argument.


I started none.

rugged7:


Gaskiya, i no be your mate gabadaya

Every time i check you Boers seem to be at the epicentre of the chaos, innit?

jln115:
Why direct it to him in the first place?? You even said it your self, that you intentionally did it to envoke a response!

Henry240:


That's not an argument. A statement, response and affirmation is not an argument.

You are wrong patches.

Good thing you agree you could be ignorant of this fact

Nigeria had it's first SF during the civil war. (3rd marine commando).

Look up 72 special forces battalion based in makurdi

What's new in our army is SOF of which men where selected from different special forces units

You south Africans should stop spewing ignoramus trash about something you don't know of. It's not funny

And yes. Your SF have not been in combat since inception of SANDF so it's wrong to rate them above any other.

By the way, a regional power should NOT be celebrating this dangerous embarrassment:

Hanging Rifles of Slings on Helicopter doors isn't a new practice.

Frumentius, why are you trying to derail this thread with those retarrded non-military related photos?

Henry240:

frumentius:


A door-gunner manning the LMG on a chopper is not the same thing. It's precisely this tolerance of low expectations that's allowed your politicians to get away with under-funding the NA. Kudos to the men for making the best of a bad situation, it should not happen and it should not be defended.

Not the point of the photograph. We already had all the necessary discussions on that photo, all the discussions that's to be had, has already been had.

training > experience

It doesnt matter how experienced you are if you simple cannot do certain things that the well trained ones can.

stillchris:


1) I don't know patches. You tell me since you know the exploits of the marine commandos better. And no you ignoramus. They were not based on the royal marine commandos

2)Are you drunk?

Do you bother to do research before making an opinion. This is definitely one problem with you people( especially you)

I said look up 72nd special forces battalion of the Nigerian army. They've been active from the maitatsine, Taliban to boko haram insurgencies. That's more than 20 years

Has Nigeria had other conventional threats aside Islamic terrorism? So engaging in such operations which conforms with the kind of threat doesn't qualify them as SF despite the SF training they are made to undergo?

So you are saying since the SANDF SF have been useless for the past 20+ years disqualifies them as well?

3) what's new is we are gradually shifting towards SOF which we lacked initially. Look up the formation of such units and see they were drawn mostly from the 72 SF battalion.

Sometimes it's not wrong to admit ignorance over matters you are clearly ignorant on.

This thread is not where you should bring your misleading tales of fantasy.

It will come to a time you will believe Buratai is a Kenyan army chief with the way you keep trying to misinform yourself

stillchris:


That's south Africans for you. They know so little outside their shores

Nigeria SF have both training and experience combined, and the many photos on this forum prove it.

Tons and tons of photos show Nigerian navy SBS, air force QRS, and army SF training all over the world. We have Training from America, Britain, China, Belarus, Pakistan, and Israel.

Those are some of the best SF nations on earth and Nigerian Special Forces have their training combined with our current war experience of over 12 years spanning from Niger Delta swamp war to Boko Haram desert and urban city wars.

Show us how the current South African special forces match Nigeria's mixed training from all over the world plus 12 years constant battlefield experience... show us how much diverse training and real war experience the current new ANC era recruits of South African Special Forces of today have , forget about the 60 year old retired men of apartheid era, those ones will not fight war for South Africa today

The hypocrisy in this post!!

Patchesagain:


"lost",means many things

My source is from 2009 and was made after the army had finished investigations into the matter - and they found that no weapons were lost or missing

In future, please:
1. Leave the anti-rsa rhetoric in the other thread
2. Read the sources I post

Also - Nigeria lost weapons to the Ruf
