Let's see Google dispute at least 90% of these (valid) claims:

- The SANDF ranks above the NAF
- The SAAF is better equipped, more experienced than the NA
- The SAN is better equipment, better trained and more experienced than the NN
- The South African Special Forces are better trained, better recognised than the Nigerian Special Forces
- South Africa has the most advanced homegrown weapons in Africa


Google me facts to counter my facts and paste links.... if not, I will haunt you with this list till the end of 2014.


The current military weapons and equipment of Nigeria CANNOT be fully known by internet search because of massive purchase of secret hardware for Boko Haram war.

However, a few points on what we know shows Nigeria is superior overall to South Africa, e.g.

150,000 man battle tested army

30 + 40 = 70 combat helicopters

World class ISTAR aircraft with very long range capability and state-of-the-art EW equipment

660 Artillery guns

500 Amphibious armoured vehicles

One of the world's biggest and most modern OPV and IPV force

Military use spy Satellites

I don't think the russians, poles, Indians, turks, and Brazilians can be classified as less professional armies.

It is at the discretion of the soldier to seat where he thinks it's comfortable for him.

Gecko, Seleka already imported those. We'll pass.

Third-world armies. Hardly anything professional about them.

My friend, I only take NATO FORCES (and Israel) seriously because they take themselves so.

You can be a 100 times bigger in numbers than the SANDF but our professionalism can blow a hole in you, go check how many holes our armed forces have made through out history.

We also build MRAPS, the Proforce PF1 is an MRAP, the IKRI is also an MRAP.

Dummy, the Igirigi is an LAV with a ballistics protection of Stanag level 2, and boy are we happy with it.

Our IGIRIGI doesn't go to some AAD show, it goes straight to the field where it is needed.

Like a true Armoured personnel carrier.

It didnt go to AAD because you know that no one will buy it

Its a cheap armoured car.

You cannot fight without a mandate in 2014 or 13. Impossible.

Seleka who?

M13 were the most feared and organised rebel group in africa before we took them on. We helped defeat them and made them look bad.

Boko haram was the most comical group in africa before you took them on. You've made them look good and ended up being the actual joke.
no. Boko haram was a comical group before the aftermath of the libyan war and the Tuareg militants in the Maghreb. The connection, experience and equipment that Boko HAram has in its control will make the M23 rebels look like a Boyscout club.
