You inflicted no significant losses on the enemy, as the enemy was able to take over the capital only a few hours after brushing aside your incompetent troops.

This is a fact.

Fomac and french forces had to be drafted in to reverse the gains made by seleka in the capital.

Exactly, your own comment alludes to this fact.

Over 400 dead is very significant.

A few hours? try 13 - and they only took the capital after they got us to agree to stop shooting them.


Our job was never to defend the capital.

Meanwhile, your men's job was to defend Nigeria, and they lost an area the size of Belgium and furthermore allowed the deaths of over 10 000 nigerians and turned another 1,6 million into beggars.

All this while INSIDE NIGERIA, with FULL SUPPORT

No comparison. You wish your men could fight like ours - proven by the fact that you hired us to win your war for you!!

So you are now saying that tanks float?

Btw, thats an IFV and not a T-72

And yes, in order to cross rivers, tanks will have to fully submerge if the water is deeper than the tank.


These photos are tanks NOT IFV....or else I will make this forum mock you for not knowing a tank from and IFV cheesy cheesy

Heavy tanks with heavy armour get dumped into the ocean in amphibious landing and have to snorkel ashore from sea to land.

Those heavy M1A1 Abrams tanks in photo below are NOT amphibious tanks, they have huge snorkels at their backs.

Many projects flop so the armata could join them. Look at the F22. It is a faluir as a weapons program. Build in to small a numbers to make a diffrence. The pCS flopped to due to being over priced OPVs the Stryker was made out to be the next gen of PAC but it is just a mowaag. So yes the Amata could flop like the USA Bradley and Amtrak replacement projects.

We'll have to wait for Russia's Victory Day parade on the 9th of May to see the final Tank.

I'm sure you meant the Littoral combat ships (LCS), I don't quite understand the role those light patrol crafts. Like you said, they are a very expensive OPV. Same as the Stryker. However, I do not agree with the bradley.

The bradley has been a monumental success. You know in the Gulf war in kuwait, bradleys took out more Iraqi T-72 tanks than the Abrams M1A1........ they are an amazing IFV/AFV.

So, a snorkelling T-72 tank will sink your Valour Frigate because your Soweto gunners are not good enough to hit target the size of a whole tank

That is not a tank. Even worse that is not a T-72 tank. That is a light amphibious vehicle fitted with a turret. It is not a main battle tank. It is designed for water operations....tanks are not.



Main battle tanks are not driven into deep water. Shown by your own pic....a landing craft brings them to shore. They drive through shallow water onto dry land.

Why did you run to the Chinese for pics? Will they fight for you? Show us your T-72 tank in deep ocean water. It cannot. Simple.

First, that isnt an MBT - pretty epic fail there mr military researcher

Second, that is not the argument. No one said they didnt.

What you said is that:

1. MBT's cannot fully submerge
2. MBT's somehow float - but dont float
3. MBT's can sail out and attack naval vessels

You did not inflict more than 50 dead Seleka, hence your plea for mercy from the French, your fleeing and Seleka taking over the capital only a few hours after engaging South-African troops. This is the sad fact.

In peace time (supposedly), your country men have managed to hack 32, 485 citizens to death. You South-Africans live as worse lives as the People in Syria.


The Nigerian Government hired Pilgrims security firm. Pilgrims is a Nigerian Security company, hired by the federal government to provide technical services. There is no proof to show that the Government hired South-Africans.

No independent, on the ground source corollates your fabrication.

Fact is = SANDF was decisively dealt with.

Fact is = Seleka took the capital

Fact is = French and Fomac drove Seleka off bangui.

You havent got the slightest clue what you are talking about. That pic is your definition of "getting dumped into the ocean"? Oh my gosh.

That f*cken tank is driving straight off the ramp (which is resting on the sea floor) onto land. That tank's tracks will be in contact with the sea floor at all times. Can you not see your own damn pic? Are you blind? Can you not see all that beach sand?

Or maybe you've never been to the beach before. You dont know how a "beach works" grin

As i have said. Just because the tank gets wet...it doesnt mean its in deep ocean.

Why would a frigate go 2km to the shore?

Especially if enemy units were present?

Why would it not stay 16-20km out to sea and provide shore support from there?

You said a T-72 could "snorkel out" and sink a valour class.

Not to mention that the maximum aimed range for a T-72 is 2km

Nope, my first 3 photos this morning included the Type 63 tank, and that is what I intend to post, google may bring random images on a single search, but I started this morning with photo of 5 Type 63 tanks with red flags flying on them, go back up page and see my first posts.

I have also shown Heavy Abrams tanks with snorkels dumped into the sea, and it is heavier than a T-72.

My point is proved, heavy tanks do battle at sea up to snorkel level, and if enemy warships appear, they will fire and sink it from 4 km far distance away.

No - you said those were pictures of MBT's floating around in the ocean. They arent. They are IFV's and a light tank (IFV derivative)

Second, you are posting a picture of an MBT landing onto hard sand in shallow water. Unless you are saying that an Abrams floats, you are proving nothing.

So - are you saying MBT's float?

Yes or no?

We get it, you are too proud to admit such an embarrasing mistake - just stop arguing and people will stop making fun of you

The only thing you have proved is that you dont know what you are talking about and that you are too stubborn to admit you were wrong.
