The world is set to train Nigerian troops how to fight BH. Britain pledge trainers to train amateurs.

SANDF soldiers in CAR.watch the way they handle their gun{@mzilakazi,andrewza},they dont even look prepared and alert.LMAO.


@Evarn- indeed you are the most stupidd person the mother earth has ever produced. Proper handling of rifles come to play when soldiers are either posing or on shooting exercise. There is no excuse from a soldier posing with a rifle handled incorrectly. Nigerian soldiers have been shown many a times posing with rifle handle incorrectly. That was a clear evidence of the culture in which their rifles are carried. That is the way their rifles are handled during their shooting exercises.


Those SA soldiers might be on a relaxed mode, but when the action comes they know well how must their rifles be carried. They master where the butt should be and where their hands should be on the rifle. My drift was not aimed at how the gun should be carried 24/7 it was merely aimed at how the rifle should be handled when on shooting mode.

Stupidd those troops were in DRC, supposedly during the time when M23 was not militant. I used to deploy to that area of Goma on the borders of Rwanda. That are used to be calm for a long time until now recently during the uprising of M23 rebels. Normally, anyone who was seen with a sky blue cap (UN) was not supposed to be shot at, even rebels knew that.

Why are you behaving like an ape?

The source is pretty clear

How do you calculate 1 hour loiter time?

Why is loiter time relevant?

[size=16pt]
Hey you calling me an Ape ? All because I defeated you in military argument and I wrecked your Soweto African Air Force SAAF ?

Wow ! Butt-Hurt now resorts to racist remarks on a black man, well I know you are not black, so you call us Ape.

Your own source CLEARLY says Gripen Jet did less than half of ONLY RECONNAISSANCE in Libya, NOT any ISTAR !

I was just doing you a favour by saying 1 hour, your own source says Gripen jet loiter time in Recce in Libya was only 40 minutes in the air !

NATO did real ISTAR in Libya with NATO dedicated ISTAR aircraft E-3 AWACS flying 24 hours a day and Sweden sent SAAB 340 AWACS !

Any jet fighter with Reconnaissance pods can do Recce ! Gripen Recce is NOT different from an F-7PG jet equipped with Recce pods tongue tongue

South African air force has ZERO ISTAR capability in year 2014 ! NAF is your supreme ISTAR master ! tongue tongue

one word for you: mumu.i put it to you: "south africa,go and die!"[-an excerpt from adams oshiomole's common slang "go and die"]
in my opinion,the brits dont have a coherent military force anymore,oh i can imagine the days of the royal navy,royal army,queens brigade etc. but now,they're just a bunch of poof-cakes.they're coming to train troops in counter-terrorism anyway,because they have experience and skill on how COTE is fought.it doesnt mean the NA is weak.seriously!,our troops train in the niger desert!,

You don't need CRAM to sh.oot down a snail slow bomb.

Guided bombs are 20 times slower than missiles.

Shilka radar will scan-track-target a guided bomb and accurately direct 4-barrel cannon fire to blew it into pieces 3km away !

SANDF has no air to ground missile. Unfreeze one frozen Gripen jet, sell it, and buy Maverick air to ground missiles , SANDF is cash-broke

pity.what school do you attend?,you've just got to keep on striving brov,failing a test doesnt signify iminent doom,we've all failed a test or two at one point.personally,i've exams coming up soon but i've only got two weeks to read my course-work,and submit my 'thesis,i just gotta do it or fail it,but with God and hardwork,its toast.it wasnt a final exam,was it?
i really wished it had something to do with school. I never really cared about school tests back then. Ok b4 oga Henry120 says i am derailing the thread. Let me say something military ish! During the days of sir Muhammad Ali of Egypt(Pasha of Egypt from 1805-1848)a very competent and vibrant force was built in the north of Africa this army threatened the balance of power of the then world. The European powers saw this threat and trembled in their shoes. They thought this might be the answer to the eastern question. They feared for the ottoman empire. Mohammed Ali melted rock and iron to build a well mechanized force, a force made up of the Fallahins ( peasant farmers) wipped and beaten to submission. he built a force so strong that they were called upon by the Turkish sultan to liberate mecca from the Wahabis. He sent his son Tusun to do the job and he did it well Mecca was once again ready to house pilgrims. He pushed further into Syria, sacked Acre and would have gone further into Turkish territories if not for the deterring intervention of the Russians. Mohammed Ali showed to the world what Africa can achieve if only we start solving our African problems with an African solution i infected some forumite over there in beegeagle with this maxim 2 yrs ago i remember it was a conversation between i and one dosiex and Eeben. We re Africans we re strong we re able ( even if we re not let us learn to be ) and we can only help ourselves. Let us not allow other people to exploit and use us to build their countries ( see the book - third world politics. An introduction by Clapham, C., and also see Africa and the Victorians: the official mind of imperialism by Robinson, R. And Gallagher, J. With Denny.
Then you may want to add my favourite How Europe underdeveloped Africa by the late Walter Rodney) we should be the one exploiting ourselves and resources for our own betterment.
I will start a lecture series on this section on African political and military history when i find the chance.

I dont know where you get 85km/h from... since JDAM's can be dropped with speeds up to mach 1.2

he weapon can be released from altitudes as high as 50 kft, at speeds up to Mach 1.3,

http://www.ausairpower.net/TE-JDAMPt1.html


Libya was first attacked in SEAD with over 100 units of Tomahawk missiles, not guided bombs, fool !!!

NATO will use cruise missiles and anti-radar/radiation missiles to first wipe out all your air defences before NATO jets go in with bombs.

By the time NATO jets fly in with bombs, your air defense weapons are already degraded to almost zero level effect.


Guide bombs are big, they are bigger than a human being ! Shilka radar will track it and the AAA guns will b.low it to pieces

A guided bomb has no engine like a missile or rocket, it runs on a simple low power battery ! It glides by fins through the air with free fall speed of gravity about average 85 km/hr, falling slowly like a snail, it does not shoot forward like a missile , you must be damn illiterate !

"When a plane drops a smart bomb, the bomb becomes a particularly heavy glider. It doesn't have any propulsion system of its own, like a missile does , but it does have forward velocity (by virtue of being dropped from a speeding plane). It also has flight fins that generate lift and stabilize its flight path." http://science.howstuffworks.com/smart-bomb.htm

How many science lessons will Nigerians have to teach you daily? Olodo cheesy cheesy

Mach 1.3 is missile speed !!!! Fool !!!

Show me a source with speed of SAAF Paveway Guided Bomb !!! Fool cheesy cheesy

The video below proves that guided bombs are slow air/gravity snail-speed, while air to ground missiles are rocket engine super-speed.

#All South Africans Are Born Olodos cheesy cheesy
