MikeZA: Kenya can get surplus tanks from Israeli stocks. The merkava is a hell of a good tank when it is part of the force structure. As a stand alone, an up-graded T-72 MBT is just as good as the merkava. Kenya cannot afford merkava tanks. They do not have the money, expertise or force structure to purchase the merkava. Your SANDF is just as sophisticated as this quote from your defence minister "Mapisa-Nqakula said the Defence Review -- stated unambiguously that the SANDF was in a state of decline characterised by force imbalance between capabilities, ageing technology, and unaffordability of many of its main operating systems." 3 Likes |

patches689: Interest in Nigeria by international organisations and multinationals has continued to grow despite rising insurgency in the country, U.S-based economic advisory firm, Frontiers Strategy Group, said in a report titled “Frontier Market Sentiment Index”. The report, issued by the Wall Street Journal, said that out of 11 African countries in a survey conducted by the firm, Nigeria ranked first as the most preferred economy for investment by the multinationals, which included European and American firms. Nigeria emerged the number one frontier-market economy in Africa in terms of attracting the most attention from European and American multinationals. It stated that the country led other African nations with 29.57 per cent and was followed by Kenya with 23.17 per cent. It quoted Mr Matt Lasov, Global Head of Advisory and Analytics of the U.S. firm as saying, “we collect data about which countries the companies are watching for potential future investment. “Over time, that gives us a clear picture of their market priorities; which countries they are including in their future plans and which they are dropping.’’ The report said that security situation in Nigeria and Kenya was least considered by the multinationals in their preference for both countries as top business destinations in Africa. “Rising insurgency in both countries apparently has not discouraged multinationals from venturing into business dealings as opportunities in the countries probably outweigh security risks,’’ the report said. It stated that Angola was rated third preferred investment economy by the multinationals, with 21.9 per cent and was followed by Ghana with 18.73 per cent. “The top three African countries’ rating may not come as a surprise to many. Firstly, Nigeria is Africa’s largest economy and it is still growing; Kenya is East Africa’s largest economy. “Angola’s oil wealth had in recent times made its economy bigger, with crisis-hit Portugal relying on the Southern African country as it seeks foreign investments to put its economy back on track. 2 Likes |

I Henry120:Under project acrobat the SANDF acquired long range 60mm Denel M6 mortars with a range of more than 6km. Before the world cup in 2010 marksmen rifles were bought. Used by the sharp shooter in the unit. What we did back then is new to Nigeria. Point out where I'm lying. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by MikeZA: 7:35pm On Jul 29, 2014 |
Henry120:The Merkava is a good tank. A Lot of people based their argument on the fact that Hezbollah destroyed a few of them and what was said on that AL Jazeera document(God's chariot) about the tank. "Digitalised" main battle tanks hold an extreme advantage over tanks on the analog side. As it was proven in Iraq when Lion of Babylon(T-72) which are the commander had to crank a wheel to turn the turret,stood no chance against the Abrams. The Merkava too can upgraded. Israel weapons like SA weapons from the 80s were design to destroy soviet supplied systems. The SA army is sophisticated. I mean you just need to compare SA and Nigeria air defense systems. |
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by Nobody: 8:25pm On Jul 29, 2014 |
MikeZA: Yes, SA army is a sophisticated as somalia army. That is how sophisticated you are. You have a virtually non-existent ADS. Nigeria's air defence system is more advanced than that of S.A, no question. |

MikeZA: The Merkava is a good tank. A Lot of people based their argument on the fact that Hezbollah destroyed a few of them and what was said on that AL Jazeera document(God's chariot) about the tank. Like I have said previously, Kenya is getting no merkava MBT. They do not have the money or force structure to deploy/support the merkava tank. On the T-72 and merkava, an upgraded T-72 is just as good as the merkava the Israelis deploy. It is when you add the force structure (artillery, airforce, navy), that the merkava is on a different level. Stop calling S.A weapons, you got nothing of note outside MRAPs. 3 Likes |

Like @Augugaust has pointed out on multiple occasions, there is nothing you use in your military, we don't already have, and we got more. The only area you're ahead of nigeria, is in taking official photographs of your equipment. If we did that, we wouldn't be having this discussion. I remember when we broke the helicopter acquisitions story, you guys were virtually foaming in the mouth, with all manner of comments. 2 Likes |

MikeZA: Vickers Eagle MBT of both Nigeria and Kenyan armies are digitalized tanks, these are the only two countries that use Vickers Eagle of that version in this world, both countries got 1990s deliveries and had major digital upgrades confirmed with images and narrations from Beegeagle and Military Today website...it has video of the Vickers upgrades used by Nigeria and Kenya. Both countries do NOT need new MBT now, they need COIN weapons and equipment of the best capability available at reasonable prices in the market. Merkava main battle tanks won't stop Islamic terrorists b.ombing Kenyan shopping malls. There is a better way to spend $6 million x 40 tanks = $240 million. Kenya needs to buy Nigeria's type of new sophisticated COIN equipment. Nigerian air force now has fresh delivery of the most sophisticated surveillance aircraft in all Africa , even Egypt is now envying us. . |

Henry120:what Nigeria has ADS is advanced? Nigeria Has twin barrel guns,old spaags MANPADS and Roland missiles plus some ineffective soviet guns. All which aren't linked to the ADA command post and others with data links,any advanced air force can exhaust your missiles stocks and find your SAM positions by flying target drones like the Skua UAV over "protected" areas". Your ground based units would use missiles which could millions of dollars to take down something that cost less than what that missile's worth. |
