MikeZA: For?

The UN is deploy a force there.

Blame the regional block and AU for the mess.

MikeZA: I can smell,hear,feel and see this trap.

One word: Classified.

AugustineAgain:

You wrote that South Africa is going to WAR....a war that has no name and location. It's actually you that does over-active imagination

MikeZA: Because your navy officers are stup----

AugustineAgain:

Show us proof, even it is a blog, at least we will see a 'source'
.

Centrifude: Its old news but its still relevant

Chadian troops rescue Nigerians kidnapped this week by Boko Haram

AugustineAgain:

SANDF bought British Starstreak hand held anti-aircraft missiles with the stupiid 1km altitude of a Catapult....perfect junk


.

AugustineAgain:

You should post the facts to prove your claim of "every regional force will have it's leadership".

Uganda is South Africa's next war teacher

SANDF will forever be a crowd follower
.

MikeZA: Layered air defence.

The twin barrels guns will down it.

How's an APC,Tanks etc going see an incoming paveway bomb?

You wanna get your n...ts smashed again,when it comes to CRAM?

MikeZA: Nothing to counter it.

It has a radar warning system.

MikeZA: That's because we have proper operational planning.

We don't just throw numbers to overwhelm the foe,which mostly results in heavy casualties like Nigeria in Liberia and now NE.

AugustineAgain:

The world blames South Africa for the mess, and SANDF army chief admits his country is a bad war planner
.

MikeZA: Pakistanis?

Can they fight? LOOL

Well Saffers hone their submarine ops skills with real navies like the Brazil,Argentina,USA,German,Britain etc

AugustineAgain:

Nope, nothing classified in old version Type 209 submarine that many country's already use for decades.

Is your Submarine radar for air scan of enemy aircraft as @Andrewza claims or sea scan as you people now claim for anti-piracy operations?

Also tell us the range of your OPV-Submarine radar and sonar that will be used to chase pirates from Southern hemisphere to Northern hemisphere in Gulf Of Guinea across ocean expanse measuring over 5 million square kilometers

Don't be afraid to answer, you people said your Submarine is better than our OPV for anti-piracy, so let's compare....answer my questions

.

MikeZA: 2 APCs there,20 MRAPs there,2 Tanks there!!!

Nothing like 238 Badger IFVs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AugustineAgain:

Your own navy chief of staff cannot navigate a boat or ship on water, so who is really stup---- ?
.

AugustineAgain:

[size=14pt]ONLY one single Badger IFV exists since 2012 that you have been posting photos here

.[/size]

MikeZA: Diesel submarines are DEADLY!!!!

The submarine can go to the operational area to hunt,attack and conduct surveillance.

Pulling out to recharge its batteries after a long time somewhere. Come back to attack again!!!!!!!


Detecting a periscope is difficult,unless the when the ocean is calm.

With rough conditions like such as the waters around SA,waves make it extremely difficult.

What are going to focus on?

Hunt an elusive sub? Or try attack surface vessels?

AugustineAgain:

Pakistan will wipe out South Africa in one hour.

SANDF submarines have NEVER fired one single torpedo in the past 60 years
.

AugustineAgain:

After every 48 hours your Submarine must surface-snorkel for many hours to recharge battery or else it will sink. That is the great weakness of all diesel submarines.

Those many hours of surface battery recharging is what gets submarines into disaster.

ATR-42 of Nigeria has ultra-Sophisticated equipment for detecting very tiny objects on water no mater the weather or rough sea even in a very heavy clutter environment. It has radar, FLIR, and TV spy camera.

Your snorkeling submarine runs on diesel and releases heavy heat and smoke from it's diesel engine exhaust pipe into the open air for many hours.....Invitation to death by NAF !
.

AugustineAgain:

Fact is that SANDF has NO capacity to deploy more than 4,000 soldiers at any time, according to your war history in the last 60 years
.

Patchesagain:

Rooivalk payload is 2000 kg

http://www.flightglobal.com/FlightPDFArchive/1994/1994%20-%202293.PDF

AugustineAgain:

ATR-42 can turn off radar and use FLIR or TV camera.....Your submarine has NOTHING to counter that !

.

Patchesagain:

No mention of leadership

And since we are the ones leading the formation of the Unit, and the fact that it is one of Jacob Zuma's presidential legacy projects (like the nuke deal) its pretty obvious who will be in charge

AugustineAgain:

South Africa has no CRAM capability until year 2020.

No army drives armour around without air defense, Roland has radar on ground with 18km detection range, Gripen cannot launch guided bomb without being seen by Roland because your guided bomb range is only 15km.

Your air force is detected by our army before it launches anything.

NAF will also challenge SAAF in the air, so what bullshiit are you writing ?
.

Patchesagain:

Irony is that of all sub-saharan countries

South Africa has fought the most and the biggest conventional wars

Patchesagain:

So he is a propaganda mouth-peice?

Unheard of in the international community?

Patchesagain:

and you only actually have around 150 tanks - so you have less than us
