World's best army....Israeli army loses 53 soldiers killed by rag tag Islamic insurgents in 3 weeks.....

Yestersday alone, 10 Israeli soldiers were killed by Hamaz insurgents.....

Israeli world's best air force was there, Israeli great Makerva MBT were there, Israeli artillery was there....

Hamaz terrorist dig tunnel into Israel, break through Israeli super defences and enter Israeli towns...

Israeli great drones/UAVs fails to find Hamaz rocket bases as another barrage of dozens of Islamist's rockets fire into Israel...

World power air force of Israel cannot explain why it can't locate Hamaz rocket bases for the past 10 years as many Israeli civilians die every year.

Israeli soldiers are even getting captured alive by rag tag terrorists.

Israel has the best army and air force in the world in terms of skill and battle history of victories.

However, we are in support of Israel and do sincerely sympathize with them, we wish you victory o Israel...Amen !

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

South Africa has no AU deployments. Only a mixed AU/UN deployment in Sudan.

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”

Listen to the full interview here:
Nigeria has Gold reserve equivalent to 9 times US gold reserves,+ 40 billion barrel of oil X $100 per barrel=$4 trillion,the best crude in the world +3 billion reserves of iron ore +5 billion coal reserves,the coal in the world + millions of rare earth metals reserves used in making chip + 200 trillion proven cubic of gas men $€£¥¢

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.

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."

Enough Said cheesy cheesy

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.

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.

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.

The South African air force has around 70 helicopters. Did you hear me? 70 helicopters.

1. No data links 2. No advanced C2 systems. 3. No advanced modern radars. 4. Lack of combat rescue.....a few things about your military.

Battle field surveillance and target acquisition are other areas the SANDF is ahead of the Nigerian military.

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.
