patches689: Nope, the fact that South Africa signed a SADC defense pact with Angola gives your big boasting Soweto mouth the responsibility to ensure security of the whole SADC region. Thank you for posting the SADC defense agreement document/proof, I didn't have it before, thanks bros The ship was found in West Africa after hijack inside Angolan waters because South African Valour Frigates and Submarines FAILED to catch it, your foolish navy has NO OPV in your west coast...ZERO force projection !

AugustineAgain: First, its a ballistic missile. Second: The Jericho II is a solid fuel, two-stage long-range ballistic missile system. There was a series of test launches into the Mediterranean from 1987 to 1992, the longest at around 1,300 km, mostly from the facility at Palmachim, south of Tel Aviv. Jane's reports that a test launch of 1,400 km is believed to have taken place from South Africa's Overberg Test Range in June 1989.[8] The RSA-3 was produced by the Houwteq (a discontinued division of Denel) company at Grabouw, 30 km east of Cape Town. Test launches were made from Overberg Test Range near Bredasdorp, 200 km east of Cape Town. Rooi Els was where the engine test facilities were located. Development continued even after South African renunciation[10] of its nuclear weapons for use as a commercial satellite launcher. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho_(missile) |

[size=15pt]LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL [/size] Embarrased GOC Orders Arrest Of Army Deserters The General Officer commanding the 3rd Army Division in Jos, Major General JS Zaruwa was shocked to find so many soldiers roaming the streets of Michika in Adamawa State when he made a private visit to his home in the area. The soldiers deserted Biita after Boko Haram militants returned to avenge a rout of their men a week ago. Upon seeing the soldiers hanging out mostly around a brothel known as “BOLINGO” with their rifles slung around their shoulders, the army General invited Lt. Colonel BMG Martins, the commanding Officer of the Special Operations Battalion who also doubles as their commanding officer, to call them to order, or arrest them enmasse our source said. Martins then ordered several unit commanders, to rein in the boys but an apparently unperturbed rank and file refused to take his orders. SaharaReporters was told by an army team engaging in intelligence in the area that the issue of discipline, specifically the refusal of soldiers to listen to their superiors and unwarranted abandonment of fighting positions, have become a big concern to the authorities in Abuja. The soldiers who were sacked from army posts in Biita and Izge-Damboa in Borno state by Boko Haram fighters have remained in Michika, refusing the order by the GOC to return to their posts. Some of the soldiers said they will not return to the frontlines unless they are provided with adequate equipment to confidently confront Boko Haram. According to the soldiers, the army has only one functioning armored tank in the entire area, the armored tank in deployed to guard Vimtin in Mubi local government of Adamawa State. Vimtin is the hometown of Air Vice Marshal Alex Badeh, Nigeria’s Chief of Defense Staff. http://www.theparadigmng.com/?p=18981# 1 Like

@Henry120 Here is something for you (i will be sure to continually re-post it) [size=15pt]Boko Haram exploits Nigeria's slow military decline[/size] Reuters) - Two decades ago Nigeria's military was seen as a force for stability across West Africa. Now it struggles to keep security within its own borders as an Islamist insurgency in the northeast kills thousands. A lack of investment in training, failure to maintain equipmentand dwindling cooperation with Western forces has damaged Nigeria's armed services, while in Boko Haram they face an increasingly well-armed, determined foe. The Nigerian military is a shadow of what it's reputed to have once been," said James Hall, a retired colonel and former British military attaché to Nigeria. "They've fallen apart." Unlike Nigerian peacekeepers in the 1990s, who were effective in curbing ethnic bloodshed in Sierra Leone and Liberia, those in Mali last year lacked the equipment and training needed to be of much use in the fight against al Qaeda-linked forces, sources involved in that mission say. Hall said the Nigerian peacekeepers had to buy pick-up trucks and their armor kept breaking down. They spent a lot of time o[b]n base or manning checkpoints.[/b] The militants know the military's limitations. A police source said a fighter jet flew over the market town of Gamburu on Monday as a group of gunmen killed at least 125, but the killers didn't flinch, knowing they could not be targeted while scattered in a densely populated area. LOW MORALE Morale is also a problem, says a ground soldier deployed in the northeast who did not wish to be named. He said the food was bad, sleeping conditions rough, very few people get the leave to which they are entitled, and they live in constant fear of Boko Haram attacks. "There is just a kind of hopelessness hanging over us," he said. The military isn't that short of money on paper. In 2014 security will swallow nearly 938 billion naira ($5.8 billion), a quarter of the federal budget. Of that, the defense ministry will take more than a third, but only 10 percent is for capital spending. A government advisor says there was some evidence a few senior officers were pocketing money meant for equipment, so corruption may also be a factor in the shortfalls. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/05/09/us-nigeria-military-insight-idUSBREA4809220140509 2 Likes

MikeZA: BH has embarrassed your military in combat many times and holds territory. You connived with the terrorists. You posted the terrorist videos. You helped the terrorists spread their propaganda. In the terrorist video you joyfully posted on nairaland, 8 troops tops were over-ran by over 300 terrorists armed with 14.5mm, 50 calibers, PKM's and RPG's. It is conflict. The british had to beg the taliban for safe passage after they were over-ran in helmand province, afghanistan. The terrorists you spread their propaganda on nairaland have and continue to feel the wrath of the nigerian military even into chad, niger and cameroun. Nigeria is battling insurgents from mali-algeria - CAR (your SANDF ran away from). |
