Fool, your counter-claim too comes from an internet website you just googled.

So what makes your source better than mine? Both are websites, or you personally work for the Bofors gun manufacturer?

Mumu grin

.

.

My source is better than yours because it categorically states: Only two were ever made.

Which is confirmed by SIPRI as no transfers of the FH77B L-52 are listed... to any nation.

And the fact that India does not have any in its arsenal

See, multiple sources and analytical thinking .

This article didnt mean that only the US marines secured abuja,it said that they were deployed "to HELP in countering the activities of terrorist in Nigeria",does that mean that they were the ones who secured abuja?,where are they now?,when the US sent in troops to assist the incompetent ragtag vigilante group called SANDF in curbing rhino poaching,did that mean that the SANDF cannot control rhino poaching(however incompetent they are)?.The WEF was a world class priority summit,of course due to terrorist actions,maximum security was needed to satisfy participants.

When you're done posting false information, as usual, go tell your fat defence minister your troops need common tents in the DRC and your airforce is in dire need of aviation fuel.

Weapons acquired during the 1999 arms deal are not being used and are becoming derelict, the Seriti Commission of Inquiry heard on Tuesday [October 7].

“With regards to the 30 Augusta helicopters purchased from Italy, I am informed that many of them are in storage and unused or rotting at Ysterplaat Air Force Base in Cape Town,” arms deal critic Terry Crawford-Browne told the inquiry’s hearings in Pretoria.


He said government acquired four frigates that were reportedly equipped with defective engines and an obsolete combat suite and armoury system.

“South Africa acquired three submarines that spend most of the time on the ‘hard’ at Simon’s Town and 50 BAE Hawk and BAE/Saab Gripen fighter aircraft for which the country had almost no pilots to fly them, mechanics to maintain them, or even the money to fuel them.

The part about the Augusta has allready been destroyed

The part about the Frigates is hearsay and has no proof, their weapons compliment makes them the most powerful in Africa.

All 3 subs are operational, we just finished a complete "in house" upgrade of one of them.

We have 18 Gripen, and 52 Hawks pilots and have flown thousands of hours on both. So that destroys the last part.

And with regards to money, we have 3X the national budget and income of Nigeria, so if we are "broke" what are you?

Again, you are posting the testimony of a man whom has been completely destroyed on the stand. So much so that his colleagues have fled the country.

Come with facts henry, not biased opinion.

You screwed yourself up so badly, SIPRI cannot record Bofors FH-77 B0 L52 upgrades of Nigeria and India, because they are NOT new purchases, they are upgrades of old existing Bofors guns. Did SIPRI record Nigerian Scorpion tanks gun upgrades from 70mm to 90mm ?

Refer to my earlyer post

patches689:


What you fail to realise is that no one beleives your argument.

Respectable sources (ie: SIPRI) all list nigerian arty as FH-77B

All respectable sources list range of FH-77B as being around 30km

Ammunition in the Swedish Army order included the locally developed HEER projectile, developed to meet the requirements of the Indian Army which, when used with charge 9, has a range of 30,000 m. HEER-BB (High Explosive Extended-Range - Base Bleed) was included in the order and the FH-77B could also use ammunition already stockpiled by the Swedish Army.
http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product4673.html

The gun has a range of 30 km, it can fire 3 rounds within 13 s and a has sustained rate of fire of 8 rounds/minute.
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/fh-77.htm

Only the FH77 B05 L52 has a range of over 40km with standard BB ammunition

The FH-77 B05 L52 enables a range of 40 plus km to be achieved with standard base bleed projectiles. It is fitted with an integrated navigation, positioning and aligning system and onboard ballistic computation.
http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product4673.html

Nigeria does not have the FH-77 B05 L52, it never has and never will.

Why is this so? Why will nigeria never ever have the FH-77 B05 L52?

[size=15pt]BECAUSE ONLY TWO FH-77 B05 L52 WERE EVER BUILT[/size]

The now BAE Systems Bofors has upgraded two examples of the FH-77B 39 calibre with a 155 mm/52 calibre ordnance and this is designated the FH-77 B05 L52. They were successfully demonstrated in India in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006. As of early 2008 no production contracts had been awarded by India for any 155 mm artillery systems.
http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product4673.html

India chose the DRDO instead of the FH-77 B05 L52
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRDO_155_mm_artillery_gun

There was no upgrade you silly Arrow

This has been dealt with conclusively

is the US Military now Discovery Channel and is Kruger Park now a small private game reserve? While the SANDF is a private poaching company? Because if that is what you mean, then you are right grin grin

Further more the military is only in support of AP duties, it is a civil matter.

And there are many more links I can post about the Nigerian armys utter and complete incompetence!! ANd the further back in history we go, the more links I have!

The SANDF is far superior to the Nigerian army in every way shape and form, we do things you could only dream of. We criticism the SANDF here in South Africa because we have extremely high standards when it comes to the military.

And please cite all the "Crises" which have happened that we have shied away from.

Let me remind you that it is South Africa and not Nigeria whom has formed a Rapid Response formation ready to respond to disasters and war in Africa - you ran away from that!

Let me remind you that it is South Africa who pushed through the UN FIB so that we could crush the M23 and stabilize the Eastern DRC

Let me remind you that you have pulled out of most of your peacekeeping roles. While we are preparing to expand ours.

We have men in Brundi, patrolling the Mozambique coast, in the Sudan and in the Congo. Our MoD has clearly said that if the peacekeepers in the C.A.R need help, we shall return. We are actually doing something.

Why should we send money to affected nations with Ebola? They arent our problem and they arent in SADAC... when Ebola broke out in Kenya we sent people, because Kenya is in our Sphere of influence.

Nigerians have delusions of grandeur... your nation is a failed state you are barely fit to lead yourselves... you make deals with genocidal islamic insurgents.... your military deployments are a history of incompetence and failure... and yet you demand to lead africa?

Let me put it plain and simple: There is a reason that Russia and China chose us and not Niger as the first African member of BRICS

In any case, SA gave aid to Cuba, which Cuba has the highest number of doctors fighting ebola.

SA sent mobile labs to west africa.

That you have a car industry today is as a result of South Africa's leadership, which helped you set it up and go on your way.

Prominent? You are not in Brics. Not in G20. Not a FOUNDER MEMBER of the UN. South Africa is all those and more.

BRICS - tick!

G20 - tick!

Where is Nigeria?

No answer required.

In any case, SA gave aid to Cuba, which Cuba has the highest number of doctors fighting ebola.

SA sent mobile labs to west africa.

SA leads with brains, hence our being global citizens.

Nigeria - local celebrities in west africa. Today, nigeria is isolated to the point of desperation.
*laughing in greek*,so because u sent that paltry aid to cuba,it then means that u are the power that be?,BRIC and G20 are economic unions,nigeria can decide tomorrow to form its own economic unions with foreign emerging markets,or even propagate the proposed MINT economies,but we didnt need it to surpass you,so thats a mute point.whatever gave u the idea that we are isolated?,smh,we are isolated yet foreign investors keep trooping in hordes that even oil price depression cant affect our economy?.nigeria is part of commonwealth of nations,OPEC,ACP and many other international organisations.

You do not wish for leadership. You wish to be babysat.

South Africa has led Nigeria specifically in more ways than one. Before we came to Nigeria, some of your sectors were virtually non-existent. We gave them life. That's leadership with brains.

We play in GLOBAL leagues, while you play in regional leagues. You WISH to emulate us, which is why the fact that you aren't in the G20 and BRICS notwithstanding your economy pains you so much. BRICS and G20 have STRATEGIES and VISIONS. That's a place for leaders and shapers of things. If in doubt, look at the main participants in the CO2 emissions debate.

MINT is not an organisation of nations. BRICS is.

Accept that you are being led and that you are following.

Don't tell us about the commonwealth, which is a WINDFALL membership for previously colonised nations. OPEC is also a WINDFALL membership for oil producers. You are even a price-taker in that setup. If in doubt, look at what SAUDI is doing with/to the oil price today.

Isolated how? You have been blocked from buying weapons, for starters.

Can decide = wishful thinking

Commonwealth? Does that count for anything, even Mozambique is a member there. MINT is a myth where unicorns dwell.

As for OPEC and yada yada, you're there because your underground wells produce oil a product South Africa creates.
