Cuba got South Africa to agree a troop withdrawal, hence victory.

Cuban supported side MPLA rules Angola today and flies their flag, hence total victory

SAAF has ONLY 10 Rooivalks and with 2011 technology.

Nigeria has 36 Helicopter gunships including 6 Hind E with 2014 technology.

We have almost 4 times more powerful helicopter force, and best in Africa after Egypt

patches689:
We only got 10 as they are expensive, and because we only need 10.

The Hind is not the worlds most heavily armed.

Hind Maximum weapons payload: 1,500 kg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil_Mi-24#Specifications_.28Mi-24.29

Rooivalk Maximum weapons payload: 2000kg
http://www.flightglobal.com/FlightPDFArchive/1994/1994%20-%202293.PDF

Its combat tests are a history of failure - how many shot down in Afghanistan? Was it... 70?
And no, a second hand Hind is no where near reliable.

The Hind also is a nice big target, cant hover for sh1t and is about as maneuverable as a bus. Not to mention dated avionics, no missile or laser warning systems, no nape of the earth capabilities, Russian export models are armed with obsolete ATGM's, terrible targeting equipment etc etc etc the list goes on and on... its biggest flaw is that it is INHERENTLY FLAWED. Its not a dedicated attack helo, and its not a dedicated transport - thus it is terrible at both

Its popular because it is cheap - that is all.

And in the end of the day, when hitting the same targets, against the same enemy, in the same conditions - the Rooivalk was found to be superior.

Not to mention that the Rooivalk has a longer range, higher service ceiling, climbs faster, faster cruising speed and comes armed with the best ASM in the world

[size=15pt]So the Rooivalk is better armed, smaller, more agile, faster during operational speeds, has a longer operational range, has better avionics, better weapons and is found, in 1-on-1 combat situations to be better[/size]

Dude, we make better Hinds than you can afford to buy

Rooivalk is a rebel worthy helicopters with only one hour combat experience in 20 years

Hind has fought against jets, radar, and missiles in more than 30 wars in 40 years.

Reason why country buys a Rooivalk except the manufacturing nation that made the half French Rooivalk

agaugust:

You said SA is super rich, why buy only 10 Helicopters because they are expensive?

We have said before that SANDF is broke and empty pocketed

You need only 10 Helicopter gunships? SA has a land mass bigger than Nigeria that has 36.

Then how do you project force in your SADC region with ONLY 10 helicopter gunships ?

You will NEVER be the strongest military in Africa with scanty number of equipment

Tyring to counter everything I say on this forum will only make you look like a fool, and give a public impression that South Africans are d.ullards

I said maverick missile is the best and you are arguing with me over missiles made where I live. Fool.

Maverick has many new versions.

Maverick from day one is built as multirole ASM including anti-armour and anti-ship role.

Hellfire does not do anti-ship combat.

Maverick is carried by 25 types of aircraft including many Jet fighters.

Hellfire is carried by fewer aircraft and NO jet fighter.

Always attacking my post because you want to prove you know more than I do, will only make you a bigger fool than people expect.

Your story said some few Nigerian soldiers went to fvck a.sha.wo when there was problem around town, they are men now, they went for 'extra-curricular activities' with some fun loving girls in a brothel, is that your personal problem?

Then the other few men who said they don't want to fight, they can go home, we have 30,000 soldiers in NE war zone ready to die for Nigeria.

South African army could not stand the sight of 15 body bags and whole 50,000 soldiers refused to return to face Seleka

" Nigeria Resumes Rocket Testing


AFTER an extended hiatus, Nigeria has resumed its controversial testing of rockets at the Centre for Space Transport and Propulsion (CSTP)—an operational arm of the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA).
Dr. Charles Attah Osheku, the new CSTP director and chief executive officer, confirmed Friday, in a late night phone interview, that a series of test firings of experimental rockets were conducted last March and also in April.

The launches, he said, are ongoing: “We are conducting the tests primarily for scientific purposes, but also as training exercises for our technical personal and a challenge to our scientists and engineers, for whom the experience is vitally important”.

A NASRDA scientific officer, who requested anonymity, reported that CSTP has recently launched several rockets “with varying degrees of success”. Some of these, he said, had reached altitudes of three kilometers, possibly higher.

The size and configuration of the crafts, or whether there is foreign involvement, was not specified. The Guardian had, on Sunday, November 16, 2008, reported that CSTP had been secretly launching indigenously constructed experimental rockets.

During The Guardian’s visit to Epe, in 2008, Oluremi A. Fashade, the then Coordinator of the Centre, brought out one of the rockets and released a video of a successful test. The solid fuel missile was about three metres long and constructed entirely from locally sourced materials.

In his interview, Fashade — who now heads Research and Development at the African Regional Centre for Space Science and Technology Education, Il-Ife — said NASRDA would eventually “graduate to bigger and more complex craft.”

Osheku did not reveal the exact dimensions of the rockets his Centre is currently testing. But an earlier interview, with another source, left the impression that these missiles are larger than the ones Fashade had been experimenting with.

Another uncertainty is the site of the launches. At Epe, the testing range was adjacent to the campus of Lagos State University — and may still be.

But when Fashade was Coordinator, he told The Guardian that NASRDA would construct a new launch facility, on a remote island, off Nigeria’s coast.

No one is willing to discuss this now. When the subject was broached to Dr. S.O. Mohammed, the director general at NASRDA, his reaction was: “We don’t want to talk about ‘launch sites’. The Federal Government will decide if, and when, that issue is to be addressed.”

Internationally, rocketry is a sensitive subject, because it encompasses “dual use technology”—instruments that can be used, either for peaceful or military purposes. “Nigeria must, therefore, tread softly,” Mohammed allowed, ” to avoid sending the wrong signals about our intentions, which are entirely peaceful”.

The Space Roadmap mandates NASRDA to develop a full-scale launch vehicle by 2025. But the Agency also has research, training and instructional programmes that are contingent upon rocket development.

This includes a miniature satellite programme, Mohammed noted, whose centrepiece is CanSat— a satellite the size of a soft drink can. It is being developed, with Japanese collaborators, for atmospheric and space weather research"

Nigeria is buying more new equipments and weapons that eyes can see, Spartans, Big Foots, 6 Night Mission Hind E, and 40 more transport helicopters, Super Tucanos, extra 20,000 troops recruited, more MGLs, upgrade of Alpha jets night combat capability, 7 new ISTAR aircraft, Russian Antonovs keep landing in Abuja and NAF base Makurdi.

What we see is a renewal of Nigeria as black Africa's military leader...

I personally fail to understand how can all these land craps and seizures transpire on the home land of the army purported to be the best in Africa. The military which has faded faster than expected and suffer embarrassment of the century at the hands of just wimp boys.

No amount of propaganda will ever deviate people from what they want to believe and what they see as the truth. No amount of propaganda will ever erase all the embarrassment suffered.

By the way, let me just drop it here and take a tactical maneuver.
