If I ever type one more letter to you after this, may God strike me dead. I said "If you are going to steal missile technology, steal it before you develop your own so that you have a base to start from". It is only in your own head where you heard me saying how hard it is to steal missile technology. There is no practical point in stealing missile technology, and adding it you your own systems which have completely different operating codes and algorithms. I have already asked you how China has been able to steal American military technology (google it), you ran away.

Everybody accuses China of copying them, envy, envy, envy. Did America not copy MRAP technology from Africa?

Allegations with no proof, America suspects and accuses everybody else, only them are holy in their own sight.

China has 100 km range artillery superior to the rest of the world, so who did they steal the technology from?

China built the world's first hypersonic aircraft carrier killer missile, whom did China steal that super technology from?

http://www.asian-defence.net/2012/11/China-Developed-CM-400AKG-Pakistans-Hypersonic-Carrier-Killer-Missile-For-JF-17.html

China is building stealth cruise missile, South Africa cannot build stealth missiles, so they stole that technology from you also?

China's annual investment in indigenous research and development can provide free food for the 50 million mouths in South Africa.

When people challenge your comments, you scream and yell like an immature 4 year old boy.

We are not accusing China here. All that we are asking is for them to pay for what they are doing. They should ask for a licence legally and pay for it. Surely, it will not be good if I can come and steal from you illegally.

[b]Nigerian Air Force intercepts, destroys Boko Haram transport trucks

Two trailers suspected to be carrying logistics support to members of the Boko Haram Terrorist sect have been intercepted and destroyed by the Nigerian Air Force Agusta helicopter on armed reconnaissance mission around the Nigeria-Cameroon border.
The trailers were covered and parked at different locations in the bush around the border town of Belel. The recent air operation against the BHTs was commanded by the Chief of the Air Staff, CAS, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar from NAF reconnaissance aircraft, the King Air 350i. The CAS coordinated the various NAF platforms involved in the operation to provide close air support to ground forces, led by the Chief of the Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai, as they advance from Dikwa to Gamboru Ngala.
Meanwhile, NAF 260, a Mi-24V attack helicopter was hit during the operation. One of the main rotor blades was hit and damaged. However, the pilot was able to successfully fly the helicopter back to base to land. The affected aircraft has since been repaired and is back to the theatre of operation.
You are please requested to publish this information in your mass media for the awareness of the general public. Thank you for your usual support and cooperation.

Badger IFV armour is no secret, it's free info on internet, it has ordinary steel armour to withstand only small arms and splinters, a Boko Haram heavy machine gun will tear it to pieces.

Nice video on Eyewitness News video section of how the SANDF uses the SAAB Gamer System for force-on-force training. Additional tool for moderm combat training. Each jacket with laser sensitive receivers is linked to a laser emitting firearm of the soldier wearing that jacket. System lets you know where on the body you've been shot by an enemy. If you receive a kill shot, your firearm stops working. Learn what you did wrong, make sure you dont do it again.

There is no Badger variant with bigger than 30mm gun. When we prove your weaknesses, you Southies say can go add a new thing to your product, who told you Russia too cannot add better things to it's own product? Only you can adjust things? Mumu.

You don't need amphibious vehicle because SANDF is meant for homeland defense only and zero force projection overseas. Cool !

Russian BMP-3 new variant will kill the SANDF Badger, BMP has anti-missile self defense, new composite impregnable armour and a 100 mm gun, just one shot and Badger IFV will scatter into pieces.

China is the world champion in artillery range....100 km


http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htart/20131128.aspx
.

1. There is a badger variant with a gun bigger than 30mm.

2. SADF with dry land obly army managed to fight a 25 year war over 1000km from our borders

3. BMP-3 is protected against 30mm only on the frontal glacis. Badger can kill it from any side angle.
3a. Badger carries 8-12 men, BMP-3 only 7
3b. BMP-3 has a road range of only 600km, badger has a road range of up to 850km
- Badger has a top speed of around 100kmh, the BMP3 only 72kmh
3c. BMP-3 has no hunter killer capabilities, Badger does
3d. BMP-3's AtGM does not have the same penetration as the ZT3
3e. BMP-3 has a mediocre combat record, while the Badger has an exellent one with the Rosomak hull withstanding multiple RPG hits
3f. BMP3 has ZERO IED PROTECTION

So, in conclusion the Badger can kill the BMP, carries MORE MEN, has a LONGER RANGE and better TOP SPEED meaning it is better for mobility (COIN) warfare, Badger is MORE ADVANCED (Hunter killer+ datalink), an SUPERIOR and more MODERN ATGM and has a superior COMBAT RECORD and has PROTECTION against IED/mines

So yes, augubug, you can continue comparing the badger and the BMP like my 12 year old nephew compares things in a game of top trumps - but on INDEPTH ANALYSIS the Badger is FAR superior

And with the chinese gun:

The Nigerian Army has recalled over 2,500 soldiers who were asked to withdraw from service for alleged offences committed under the counter- insurgency operations code named Operation Zaman Lafiya.

The review panel set up by the Army, which began sitting in Kaduna on August 17, has also screened and reinstated 102 officers, who were sentenced or facing prosecution in relation to the operations in the North-East.

The reinstated soldiers and officers, it was learnt, had commenced retraining at the Nigerian Army Training Centre, Kontangora, Niger State.

The 2,500 soldiers were among the over 4,000 who responded to a memo from the Army authorities inviting soldiers for a review of recent disciplinary cases, which emanated from the counter terrorism operations.

The NA had said on August 1, 2015 that the service would constitute a panel to review all recent disciplinary cases in the service.

But the Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman, cautioned that the directive to review disciplinary cases should not be mistaken for a “total reinstatement of dismissed and deserter soldiers.”

Our correspondent learnt that more dismissed personnel of the Army might be brought back to the service as the screening panel would continue with the review of cases on Monday (today).

A source in the Nigerian Army, who confided in our correspondent, said, “The panel has cleared 2,500 soldiers who were dismissed from their units for minor offences alleged to have been committed under Operation Zaman Lafiya.

“The review panel also cleared 102 officers who were either asked to withdraw, dismissed or facing prosecution for various offences under the operation.”

The soldiers, who were said to have been conveyed out of the NDA, Kaduna, venue of the review panel, in luxury buses on Saturday are expected to undergo a short retraining exercise as part of the reintegration requirements into the service at the NATRAC, Kotangora.

After the retraining, the Army authorities would screen the affected personnel and re-activate their suspended bank accounts.

It was further learnt that the panel would also review the cases of 66 soldiers who were sentenced to death by firing squad.

The source, who spoke to one of our correspondents on Sunday, said that not all the dismissed soldiers who turned up in Kaduna were lucky to have regained their jobs.

Some of the soldiers, said to have been dismissed about 15 years ago for various offences, were asked to leave the venue of the review panel.

The soldiers were said to have been dismissed from the Army for various offences since the regime of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

It was learnt that majority of the affected soldiers were dismissed from the service for violating a law said to have forbidden the personnel of the Army from marrying foreigners.

When our correspondent contacted the Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman, he said that those asked to leave the venue of the review panel were not eligible for the review exercise.

Usman said that they were dismissed from the service for various offences about 15 years ago and were not part of those whose cases were meant for review.

Usman described them as “a group of mischief-makers who should have been arrested and prosecuted for disrupting the peace of the public.”

He said, “The alleged protesting soldiers were no longer soldiers for almost 15 years now.

“They were dismissed for various offences and therefore are not part of those whose disciplinary cases are being reviewed by the committee. Consequently, they are not eligible for the ongoing review.

“They are bunch of mischief makers that need to be arrested and prosecuted for constituting a nuisance to the public. Already the relevant security agencies have been alerted on their activities.”

On the issue of the recall of the officers and men of the Army, he said that he could not give the figure of those screened and cleared.

Usman said that the exercise was ongoing and that the panel was expected to submit its report to relevant authorities.

“This is an ongoing exercise; they want to ensure that justice is done. I cannot give you any figure, the authorities are waiting for the committee’s report; they will conclude sitting very soon,” he added.
