This is too stu.pid to even bother responding to.

So where a logistics base is placed determines how good an army is?

Fool

How is soldiers' combat base a logistics base? Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Egypt, are NOT in the logistics centre point of their regions. The ranking is based on military combat current experience, records of success in past wars, leadership skills, fighting spirit and courage, as well as professionalism... that is why South African military failed to make the list of African Union's best four armies 2014.

Now you can go hang yourself from the ceiling in humiliation for all I care shocked shocked

Who is getting the Merk4?

Kenya?

No offence, but the Merk is over-rated IMO.

But hey... its better than a Vickers or Olifant.

Kenya is not getting any merkava MBTs. The price of the merkava is $6 million
box per unit. I don't see the kenyans shelling $6 million for any tank.

Another point, operational experience and or overall force structure. Stand alone, the merkava isn't a great tank, but as a structure with existing platforms, it is one of the best. They don't have compatible systems with any of their existing equipment.

t's not so much about the tank but more about how the tanks work together with the navy, airforce and artillery units.

That force structure doesn't exist in the kenyan military.

yet again you dont know what you are talking about.

After every Isrealy war, their arms sales get a major boost
http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2013/08/201381410565517125.html

Yet again, you south-africans are the problem. I've never disputed isreali weapons sales or any country's weapons sales goes up after a successful engagement.

Infact, I've cited on multiple occasions, the french pitch to the indians for their Rafale multi-role fighter as a good example, after the successful air campaign the rafale had in libya.


It has always been you south-africans living in denial.

[size=16pt]The reason why South Africans are keeping mum about this topic is because they are tired of being told lies about the army which can't seem to prove itself as the most powerful military. Boko Haram has really humbled them to the extent of claiming Damboa all to themselves as their trophy. Boko Haram has proven that Nigerian military is weak as a baby.[/size]

Kenya can get surplus tanks from Israeli stocks.

And don't be mistaken the Merkava is a hell of a good tank. And yes,it can integrate well into existing KDF structures.

All you need to do if you're a sophisticated army like the SA army is to modify the communication systems.

Nigerians military operations are successful in terms of achieving their objectives but in terms of mission performance and execution. Your operations can only be described as disasters and wouldn't work against a professional,sophisticated,well trained and equipped army.

The SA military is highly experienced. The tactics and weapon choices we used in the 80s are still new and adopted in your force.

BH is weak compared to MK,SWAPO,AZAPO,ZIPRA,ZANU etc

As for South African army, navy, and air force....they have not fought any real war in the past 20 years....all we see are training photos at home without any enemy to fight with.....all we hear are past glories of 30 years ago controversial propaganda ridden wars.

Today 2014, Nigerian military is appointed to lead ALL OF AFRICA'S MILITARY FORCES into battles from 2015 under the African Union, the AU did not even act as if there is any army in South Africa, they know what SANDF is means....fighting war inside photographs on homeland soil...facing a 'zero' imaginary enemy that does not really exist.

Alan Knott-Craig’s Three Reasons Not to Panic about South Africa
by Nicola on May 12th, 2014

Really, Don't Panic! Alan Knott-Craig, author of Really, Don’t Panic!, shares three reasons not to stress about the state of South Africa.

Talking on The Complimentary Breakfast on Jacaranda FM, Knott-Craig says his first reason would be economic fundamentals.

“If you just look at the resources we have in the ground, there’s something like $5 trillion of resources sitting under the ground, waiting for opportunity,” Knott-Craig says. “And if you take into account that it was the gold that made South Africa, and that was only $1.5 trillion over a hundred years, we’ve still got a lot of runway”

PHOTO : WORLD'S BEST ARMY, ISRAEL IN GAZA WITH WORLD CLASS EQUIPMENT




[/size]


While we sympathize with the Israelis, we also discover that Nigerian army and air force have performed as good as Israeli military despite having far less equipment compared to the Israelis.

As for South African army, navy, and air force....they have not fought any real war in the past 20 years....all we see are training photos at home without any enemy to fight with.....all we hear are past glories of 30 years ago controversial propaganda ridden wars.

Today 2014, Nigerian military is appointed to lead ALL AFRICA into battles from 2015 under the African Union, the AU did not even act as if there is any army in South Africa, they know what SANDF is means....fighting war inside photographs on homeland soil...facing a 'zero' imaginary enemy that does not really exist.

AU has confirmed why has the strongest four militaries in Africa...and who is best qualified to lead ALL AFRICA into war zone... NIGERIA
