overhypedsteve:
careful mate. Don't give our little southie friend and heart attack. Any war in south Africa would be a war pitched between two cowards, so never expect it to be so advanced. There will be no suicide bombers, no use of mines or ieds, there will be No use of AAA technicals, and the conflict will end up quickly in the dialogue table, cus they have no stomach for casualties.

agaugust:



Means Nigerian military has the most advanced drones in Africa, first country to use missile armed drones in war !

See the military that @THIZA calls rag tag, LOL !

We are one of the most sophisticated military forces in the world today !

You tell a South African mugu that nobody really knows all the weapons Nigeria has, they will still be arguing like fools.

Mumu village candle light South Africans say Nigerian air force has no PGMs or air to surface guided weapons...LOL

South Africans are violent, courageous, bold and vicious in nature. We fear no death and the blood of Shaka Zulu runs into our veins. That's who we are naturally.

andrewza:
Hey Nigerians. You chiness boat is here. No missiels

Henry120:


It is an OPV. Let's talk about your single (1) frigate in service instead.

agaugust:


American drones are the best in the world and they crash dozens of times, all drones are prone to crashes, no pilot control.

SANDF does NOT have Seeker drone in service, so you have nothing comparable to Nigeria's armed drones in service

mzilakazi:


SA has four frigates in service. None of SAN frigate has ever been decommissioned. Three of our frigates are currently undergoing maintenance and that does not translate into assuming that they are not in service. They still have more than 30 years left to serve the SAN.

Meanwhile, Nigeria has no single frigate that is operable.


Weapons and military hardwares are only listed as "not in service" when grounded, decommissioned, or removed, dummy.

andrewza:


They operated by denel. Denel is run by the government. Thus we have them. The very first oprastional use of Deon in Angola had it being flown by civlians just like the drones in the Kruger park.

overhypedsteve:
there are many drones with similar shapes, you only differentiate with the wpecs and country of origin.

RM786:


Seeker was used extensively to track rhino movements and try and look for poachers in the Kruger Park, so they are operational. We're not at war so obviously they aren't in service If we need them they'll be fielded and with far more sophisticated avionics, surveillance equipment, targeting systems, weapons, etc than that cool little thing.

The Seeker 400 is fully developed and operational including integration of weapons systems, just in case the user wants to go on the offensive , with successful live firing tests using DENEL Mokopa precision guided air to surface missiles (similar to the US Hellfire missile but more modern, more accurate and with longer range) already completed. If you put some A-Darters under the wings good chance it would be able to knock one of those American Predator drones you love out of the sky.

Apologies for correcting you yet again, not only can they be put to work if required but they're designed, developed and produced entirely in house right from the seeker heads of the munitions to the tips of the wings, so be careful not to pull a hamstring as you extract your foot from your mouth. I know it is a burden having to store so much wisdom and knowledge in your head so I completely understand how you may have forgotten that RSA has been building UAV's since the 70's

Henry120:


I almost feel sorry for you.

SAN has 4 Frigates, correct. However, SAN can only afford to keep 1 Frigate at sea. In south-Africa, grounded is just the same thing as decommissioned. Look at your A109's, all grounded. They spent more time grounded than in the air.

"Why does South-Africa even bother with a military"?......... it's absolutely no use.

Henry120:


No, you do not.

mzilakazi:
One thing in short, you can never claim territory using drones especially the faulty ones. You have been dubbed again with drones that come falling from the sky.
Boko will not worry, they will just leave the drones to drop down by themselves and remove all the weapons and use them against your military. You are being warned!!!!

overhypedsteve:
we ve been arresting pirates off the gulf of guinea, we don't blow them to bits. Even if its a patrol vessel it could have been armed with missiles but what role will it serve? or you think we re ready to refrigerate an high cost asset to just sit down and wait for decommissioning. Smaller boat ve being armed with missiles, so when you see us doing what we do, you should know there is a Y for this X

EVarn:
indeed,but we dont have a closer picture of the drone in order to identify its weapon system or country of origin.but nevertheless,it is a welcome development by the nigerian military,i'm just concerned that the use of armed drones is too overkill and destructive;we arent fighting a conventional warfare,we could end up killing thousands of innocent civilians in a few airstrikes,especially given the fact that these terrorists hold young girls and men hostages in their camps.the safer way to decimate these terrorists is to deploy a squadron of fighter jets and attack helos to bombard all selected terrorist facilities in nigeria,weaken them considerably and then send in our infantry units to attack simultaneously from all axis and finish them off.but in the end,it appears that the military has a more suitable strategy in place.

mzilakazi:
Nag!!! it is not about affordability dummy, just like you take some of your cars for service and maintanance, it also relates to the same. Some of the frigates were due for maintenance and there appeared that service providers were the problem. SAN advertised tenders and rather preferred the local service providers to do the refitting over international service providers. That process took some few months to complete.


The same thing, most Nigerian military hardware was either grounded, poorly maintained or inoperable throughout the war against terror. Why would you even have military when you can even hire mercenaries like you did during Biafra war.

Anyway, why do we have to be in a hurry? We are not at war.

"we are not at war"....are you are really that confident of your ability to forsee any form of external aggression?.france made that same statement last year september,when they joined the US Coalition against ISIS,but they are singing a different tune now.

mzilakazi:
Unfortunately, all attempts have been exhausted, yet there are no fruitful results. Your military is just a bunch of cowards, nothing more. The only solution is infantry, but you just do not have the soldiers who can do that dirty job. Most brave armies do not rely on drones and fighter jets, they just close their eyes and go head on.

Thiza:
HELP SOUTH AFRICA.....FORMER RECCES TO NIGERIAN ASSISTANCE

andrewza:


Hardly the point. When I left here last Nigerians where still claiming it was a frigate that could take on our valour class. The fa t it has no missiles is not a insulting. Our frigates put boat davits on the missile deck. Since missiles are not needed for peace time patrols.

overhypedsteve:
a very welcomed development. I have always called for an African solution to the African problem, we shouldn't always allow the west to do things for us. I still have regrets on the issue of those missing girls cus I know that, that was one issue that sparked inter national outrage, but while other western and eastern countries were busy showing their commitments, both rhetorically and materially, Our brother here in Africa that could have helped us to track their borders and ensure that the girls were not smuggled into their territory they pretended like they didn't know that Nigeria is at war. and when a nation is at war, she needs all the help she can get.
Some f00ls on here would publicly boast that the whole of Africa hate Nigerians and now i ask the persons that have this hate for Nigeria, why do you hate us, what have we done to merit this hate, we ve spent a good part of our short period oif independence ensuring that the whole of Africa is free and peaceful, even with war on our hands we ve our soldiers and police helping to sustain peace in other African countries.
That is who we are, we will never boast of this things cus we know that a help given to a brother will never be forgotten. This is the value that we hold to and this is the reason why even our brothers now boast of the hate they have for us. If the south Africans think they have help to offer, then let them come. Cus aside the e-wars and arguments, I am just an African. I know my imperfections but I also know the strenght that we draw from our unity, I am Nigeria..

DieVluit:


LOL, you have no choice but to be humble, right now. This is how a person speaks when they have been humbled.

With civil war, military rule and insurgency, seems you didn't spend enough time ensuring that you are free.

andrewza:
France was and is at war.

overhypedsteve:
i will ignore this one. Going into an argument with you is like falling into an abyss, there is just no end to it, you bring up newer issues on the way to frustrate efforts.

EVarn:
see this sapele crayfish talking trash.how is the drone a faulty one?,nigeria isnt the only country to have crashed a drone in the world,infact,drone crashing is a fairly common occurence in the militaries that actually own them.simply because you dont have any wardrone doesnt mean you should spout propaganda about ours.last year,the US lost 3 armed drones in their airstrikes against ISIS,so what are you blabbing about?
how is it possible for BH to attack our troops with the ruined debris of a crashed drone?,so you think BH has the capacity to reassemble a crashed wardrone?..my friend,i think you are mistaking boko haram for the US army.

mzilakazi:
A faulty drone, see where it has landed. Shame!!!
