That is not at all what they are saying you slowpoke

They are saying: We dont have many assets in play in the area you are fighting BH, please can you share what you learn

Once again this snake-skined nincompoop has just proven that the only thing sustaining your banter here for 5 years is fear, envy and self-doubt.

Even if we were to agree France only came for intelligence shearing/gathering, they wouldn't be doing so without acknowledging that the Nigerian army has proved its worth against BH. And they have a lot to learn from NAF
Patrick, you are of little mind. And your soul is dark.
Every little success of Nigeria drives you to near insanity.

Hardly every one since according to Britain it was a internal civil war that Britain was neutral in. They fail at being netrual since one group was pro Britain the othet group anti. And just because it your territory does not mean it in your lands its like saying if some one that invades the Prince Edward Islands is Invading South Africa. Yeah they techical are technical they part of cape town only they 1700km away.

Andrew... I have given you countless citations that proved northern Ireland is British territory.

All you have managed to do is give your personal opinions with nothing to back it up.

Uhmkonto is moments away from introduction

Oerlikon is CRAM and is the most advanced SSHORAD sustem in ss-Africa

Starstreak has a 5km ceiling and is the most advanced VSHORAD on the continent

All of this is linked together via data-lank and some of the most advanced air search and targetting radars on the continent - it is a SYSTEM

Meanwhile, Nigeria has obsolete Roland, obsolete AAA SHORAD and beyond obsolete VSHORAD which are 50 year old shoulder launchers... no mobile radar....no data link to combine them

You dont have a decernable air defence network - just a collection of obsolete equipment

SANDF IS GENERATIONS AHEAD

2. No - Marines are not army, they are Marines (thats why they have a special name)

3. M113 is in reserve used by National Guard or in specialist units (EW/Chem and Bio Warfare) LAV is being phased out - they are abandoning amohibious capabilities in favour of armor

So why do you need amphibious capabilities?

Armoured bridge launchers are super huge and too heavy to drive everywhere in battle, no army does that, so armies own amphibious light armoured vehicles instead.

Will you use bridge launcher to cross lake Chad, lake Victoria ....many lakes and rivers are far wider than your bridge launcher ! Fool !

How do your engineers build a bridge across Atlantic ocean during amphibious landing kilometres away from ocean shore? You fooool !!!

NATO will NEVER phase out amphibious armoured vehicles, that is what they used to defeat Germany at Normandy invasion, no alternative to it.

SANDF will drown in amphibious war theatre, Nigerian army will wipe out SANDF in such warfare

but the question is why is the fight against boko haram so difficult if Nigeria truly possess all these military capabilities

Ask America and Britain why their super power weapons have not defeated Taliban terrorists in Afghanistan after 13 years of war......also ask USA, UK, Canada, France, etc have not defeated ISIS after 8,000 air bombardments by the most powerful air forces in this world.

Meanwhile, Nigerian military has reduced Book Haram to Okada riders and bicycle riders, 90% of them have been killed and all their armoured vehicles destroyed .

The U.S military is not fighting insurgents on American soil. It is fighting in foreign lands. Nigeria is fighting at home in a land the size of two U.S states, and it is failing. You cannot compare the two.

Jap, im not arguing , but we're not only talking about Guns and Missiles here, we are talking about some of the most advanced air defence radars in the world.

And only GBADS phase 1 has been completed. GBADS phase 2 will be completed in late 2016 or early 2017 when the Umkhonto SAM system has been completed,all our Oerlikon GDF 007 have been delivered and we receive the RSR-320 radar system, GBADS phase 3 will only be completed around 2019 when we acquire a long range SAM(Most likely the Marlin) ect ect
you say you dont want to argue yet you keep bringing irrelevant post. I asked you before what do you have in 2015 as GBADS?
Simple question now you go off spurting junks that dont exist yet. -Do you have merlin now? No.
-What of the umkhonto sam? No.
I dont care about radars unless it is maybe AESA.

I realise your shortcomings. And because of those shortcomings, you need to compare apples with apples. Fighting insurgency at home is nothing like fighting insurgency abroad. The US is fighting insurgency abroad and the fact that they still have not won is no justification for Nigeria's failures at home. The question to be asked is whether Al Qaeda etc would still be active if they were based and operating in the US. You know the answer to that...it's a resounding no.

Your failures at home are unacceptable. BH has not been reduced to anything. Instead, they have grown into the deadliest terror group on the planet. This happened under your military's watch. Ample opportunity to wipe them off, you had. But fail, you did.

50% of Nigeria is Islamic by religion, if Americs has 50% like Nigeria that means about 150 million Islamic believers as citizens living in America, then New York will be worse than Paris in terrorist attacks. How many million Islamists do you have as citizens of South Africa?

I dont see begging. Asking and begging are not the same. Making a deal where both sides gain somthing is not begging. I am not refueting the fact France wants to learn from Nigeria. I am saying you twisting facts and making it bigger than it is. By your example i can say the USA begged the SANDF to teach them bush warfare skills because they sent a few guys to be trained by us. Same ad the dutch and many others. Truth is they did not begg us they asked.
USA did not ask you for training. It was a joint co-operation. Mutual training. What do you know?

2. Anything that big you also wont be crossing in your Cobra, with a max speed of 8km on water.

There was no insurgency in Britain. There was terrorism there yes but the insurrection took place in Ireland. Any body unable to grasp the fact that Britain and Ireland are not the same is not qualfied to call any body a idiotic. Not to mention Ireland had been fighting for independence on and off since 1536 when the English re-conquer Ireland. The UK successfully resolved the issue through diplomacy mutch like South Africa delt with there issues.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Irish are NOT a separate nation, they are ruled by the same British prime minister and queen. IRA is as much terrorist as Book Haram....both are insurgents ....what kind of English dictionary do you use at home, the one written by a carpenter?

It's easy to say "BH is defeated". Anyone can say that. The question is short and simple: On what grounds can we say that what is now the deadliest terror group on the planet is "defeated". When you have kindly listed those grounds for us (as opposed to shouting), we will get somewhere.
-BH has no capacity to wage war,
-its occupies no territory in Nigeria.
-it has no leader.
-it is splintered and scattered
-Nigeria has the initiative and is on the offensive.
-BH has been reduced to hit and run tactics. Guerillas warfare.
-they have no known base in nigeria.
- no recent news of BH activity
- they havent post any propaganda video in a long while.
- Nigerians are confident and has started looking beyond this war.

Please take your time to READ AND DIGEST.

Very smart of you to respond to "no content:".

You asked for the "shifting" of arguments, which clearly is an acceptance that you are begging us to move from the US example to your Britain one.

Only problem is, you are yet to show us how what happened in the Uk justifies Nigeria's failures at home.

Whenever you are ready, with thanks. You mean, the secessionist issue that the UK was dealing with. Pray tell, how is that similar to the BH issue?

If you say Nigerian army fails at home, it means that the Great British army equally failed at home, or you have two different yardsticks for judging an African army and an European army ? Juvenile illiterate !
