It means after 6 mins he would have expended his 7 MAGs. What then would be his next line of action, seeing he's out of rounds?

6 mins is better than 2

GreenandGold:

Throw stones at the advancing enemy, or simply surrender. That's the NA war doctrine.

Going by the fact you ran away from Seleka and C.A.R, I wouldn't expect any less from SANDF.

Patchesagain:

6 mins is better than 2

Each nigerian soldier carriers 5 MAGs. 6 mins is still not enough. Eventually after 6 mins, you run out of MAG's.

And how many times did the Nigerian Army run away from BH?

Difference is that our boys were on a training mission THOUSANDS of Km's from home and support

Your lads were on COMBAT MISSIONS in your own back-yard

Have the guys who ran away into Cameroon resurfaced yet?

They'll surface at the South African consulate to apply for asylum.

This boy called augububu keeps going in circles. I have been away for months, augububu still posts the same trash, the same wishful thinking, the same border-line point of view..... in the meantime ;

- Thousands of Nigerians displaced by BH
- Hundreds of Nigerians killed
- Hundreds kidnapped #BringBackEveryone
- Scores of NA members killed
- NA members sentenced to death
- NA members protected by their wives and girlfriends coz they had adequate gear for combat (My mano is not fightingo, Boko will kill himo)

Centrifude:

Uhm dude that's why we destroy that kinda ish before it gets too big of a problem to deal with, its like the level of crime in S.A many our politicians ignored it until it go out of control and that's one of the lessons we had to learn the hard way.

And don't bring in the U.S.A into dish, we both know crazy Sh*t would happen if there was an insurgency in the U.S and don't bring up Afghanistan and Iraq because that's different from being at home.

But away I didn't say it was easy to defeat B.H the initial argument was that S.A special forces are Better trained and experienced than your guys. We have better skills.

Don't deceive yourself, crime level in South Africa did not get out of hand because your government did not deal with it early enough.

Crime will happen when you have 5 million whites earning income 6 times more than 40 million blacks, with blacks having very high poverty and unemployment rate, no matter how much ANC gives them social benefits it will never satisfy their total needs and desires. Envy of the rich by the poor brings crime.

Social inequality, wide yawning gap between rich and poor in the same society breeds crime.

Skin colour difference brings natural hate and racial crime.

Men who have uncontrollable urge and libido in a society where women are perceived as pleasure tools will bring R.ape at random, or you blame ANC for not castrating all men's d...i...c..k early enough in 1994 ?

NO country in the world will ever stop crime, once the social system breeds people with criminal minds, you will have a high level of crime.

The 20 million blacks who are lazy and half-illiterate in a society of rich and successful whites, why won't they rob people in South Africa ?

The war against Rhino poaching was started early with Rangers, army, air force and special forces all involved, yet the war is lost and 500 Rhinos will be exiled by South Africa into Botswana. Why? The Rhino poachers have a motivation and nothing will change their minds, not even the American special forces hired to come and hunt them down.

Once people determine to do something, you CANNOT stop them until you k.ill them, same goes for Islamic terrorists, he believes God has sent him to be a Boko Haram matyr and hero. How do you change his mind?

On the issue of home, I have said this 101 times to you block head SA domingo durangos, American marines sent to Iraq and Afghanistan are created and trained to fight only overseas, US Marines don't fight war at home ! They failed doing exactly what they are trained to do in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Well at home, America has only 1% Islamic population and almost zero radical types that do jihad holy war.

If America has 50% Islamic faithfuls like Nigeria, there would be over 150 million potential Boko Harams in America, and over 50 million guns will be in their hands to use including M-16 rifles and modern Sniper rifles, when 10% of them want to be radical jihadists with 5 million assault rifles they know how to use well (Americans are very good bush hunters).....America will be worse than Somalia, they will wipe themselves out and the nation will cease to exist. I live there, and my statics are correct.

Now stop comparing America and South Africa to Nigeria, you guys don't have a 50% Islamic population with 10% of them radical jihadists

Algeria has the most modern military in Africa with the biggest budget that dwarfs South Africa, they fought Islamists at home for 11 years and 150,000 civilians died slaughtered by Islamists before the army got 95% victory, they have NOT been able to completely wipe out terrorism till today.

You CANNOT wipe out people's religious faith with a big gun

Ammo is not a problem for the nigerian military. There are always more Ammo in the APC, trucks and troop transports.


700 dead insurgents in 3 days of fighting is very impressive. Civilians don't attack army positions.

There's no such thing.

Infantry soldiers that carry less ammunition are mechanised guys. The moment your soldiers stop firing to get ammo,they'll be shoot and killed. In a semi-conventional battle.

Besides Nigeria has massive shortage of APCs.

700? While your casualties are downplayed?

Henry120:

Dead dead bokos. You want to go join B-H? Nigerian airforce MI-35M helicopters would paint you skull red, with hot lead.

DCD launches Testudo unmanned ground vehicle



DCD Protected Mobility is displaying its new Testudo unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) at the Africa Aerospace and Defence (AAD) 2014 exhibition. It has been designed for civil and military mission, such as explosives disposal, reconnaissance, mine surveying and search and rescue.

The Testudo UGV was launched as part of an exclusive military marketing agreement between DCD Protected Mobility and CMTI Design and Consulting Engineers, which specialises in multi-disciplinary services packaged to meet individual project requirements, DCD said.

DCD Protected Mobility general manager Andrew Mears points out that the Testudo is designed for the military, and tested in the hard rock mines of South Africa. “Its unparalleled ruggedness and versatility ensures that it is capable of negating the harshest environments,” he explained.

CMTI CEO Danie Burger added that the Testudo can be equipped with a variety of work tools that can be customised to clients’ needs with minimal effort. He states: “Available in remote-controlled or autonomous options, the Testudo boasts exceptional cross-country capability, thanks to its four industrial-style excavator tracks.”

“These tracks, which are individually driven for exceptional flexibility in breaching obstacles as high as 400 mm, are driven by high torque motors to ensure a load carrying capacity of 150 kg and a top speed of more than 6 km/h. What’s more, the Testudo is powered by 60 Ah LiFeMgPO4 batteries, which can last for up to six hours on one single charge,” Mears said. The Testudo weighs 260 kg, is 410 mm in height and features a track width of 172 mm.

Mears added that the Testudo is designed according to a ‘plug-and-play’ philosophy. “All four flippers can be removed within minutes and replaced with a complete service exchange. In order to ensure a greater degree of simplicity, off-the-shelf components are available to a large extent,” he said.

Testudo is Latin for ‘tortoise’, and is also a name for a species of tortoises found in Africa, Asia, and Europe. In Ancient Roman warfare, Roman Legions made use of the Testudo formation – where men would align their shields to form a packed formation covered with shields on the front and top, thereby forming an almost impenetrable armoured shield similar to that of a tortoise’s shell.

In addition to the Testudo, DCD Protected Mobility officially launched its new medium sized utility truck (MUT), the Oribi, at AAD. The company also officially launched the first entirely autonomous Husky mine detection vehicle at the exhibition.
