[size=16pt]South African air force has ONLY 6 Gripen pilots today ![/size]

Your analysis of six pilots is very wrong in every bound. It is very unfortunate that it comes from a self proclaimed qualified charted accountant who instead was not expected to have fallen to the trap of misinterpreting news. The year 2013 is still protruding out of the boundaries you devised to capture our attention. The September 2014 news was simply reflecting back to 2013 to brief us about the challenges that was facing SAAF in the past. It had nothing to do with 2014, the time during which the article was written.


@agaugust, your English is very immature and bad for a man who claims to be living in America. With your kind of english, you supposedly have gained your green card by gaining access at the back door.

"18 Gripen navigators and pilots have been trained to operational status"

Trained pilot is NOT = Qualified pilot.

SAAF has NO SINGLE qualified Gripen pilot, flight-global report says each pilot flies ONLY 33 hours a whole year....far far lower than about 150 hours required to qualify.

SAAF Gripen jet pilots are NOT qualified to go to war, NOT qualified to challenge NAF F-7 jets or incoming JF-17 Thunder

weird then how the USAF only gives its fighter pilots 50 hours per year before deployment
http://www.dtic.mil/get-tr-doc/pdf?AD=ADA430320

While half of french fighter pilots fly 40 hours per year in their top line fighters and the rest in jet trainers

We average 60 hours per year per pilot in the Gripen, and no one knows how many in the Hawk

i think our F7 will rape their gripen because it will be between the pilots and not the jets. i doubt they'll even be able to fuel the jets fir combat.

Your own @Henry120 stated that photos prove nothing

You have 9 Gripen pilots. Fact.

Patchesagain:


Where are you getting these numbers from?

600hours? says who?

you?

1 hour 30 minutes per month.

Sell the damn things to mexico!!!

SA has more money than Nigeria does. SA has a budget that is 3Xbigger than is Nigeria worth. The defence of SA is just only compromised for now because the government of SA is focusing somewhere else and that is to build mass infrastructure.

jl115:

We have a surplus of Fuel.
We have 54 hawk pilots which can easily be converted to Gripen pilots
Our A109s where possibly grounded due to paper work, although these reports are not confirmed.
We have 9 fully upgraded C-130BZs

You have no aviation fuel.
No they cannot, that's why you are stuck with 9 pilots.
They are grounded because you are broke.
No, you only have 3 C-130's for a 1.2 million kilometre area.

bloody liar. US gives it's fighters 120 hours while the half of french fighter pilots still fly 180 hours and 140 for their jet trainers. according to your link. citations provided by you.

and 60 hours per year will only produce unprofessional and ill trained fighter pilots especially for the gripen.

so yeah. as proved by you we can confirm that SAAF fighter pilots are ill trained and unprofessional. thank you. case closed.

did you think Nigerians are dull like your people on this thread?

DieVluit:


Oh yeah.

Now nigeria didn't just kill their soldiers. They also killed what's left of the military's morale.

The light force of a couple men who went ahead completely routed the enemy.

Those soldiers who disobeyed a direct order deserve the punishments they got. This punishment makes it clear to all soldiers deployed that there are consequences for disobedience and cowardice.

Patchesagain:
So our spy sattelight has been launched

We now take the lead over nigeria in this feild with out advanced russian Kondor-E synthetic appeture sattelight

It is an Earth observation satellite you fool.

okay. so that is why your airforce can't afford aviation fuel. nice excuse bro.

Patchesagain:


Undersupplied men who are overwhelemed by the enemy and forced to flea should not be executed.

Is archaic and it destroys moral, even the highly diciplined german army and highly ideological red army of ww2 learnt that executing men will not stop them retreating

They are not under supplied or ill- equipped to carry out their mission.

What were they expecting, a nuclear weapon?

Nope - USAF considers pilots combat ready with just 50 hours per year
Half of french pilots only fly 40 hours per year on their main platforms
SAAF excellence has been confirmed by our joint exercises with other Gripen users where we impressed them

NAF would completely R.ape them. It would be a complete and utter shameless knock out.

Henry120:


1 hour 3 mins per month.

3000 hours from 2008 to 2014

thats 40 months

for 14 pilots

that works out to 5 hours per month for 14 pilots

or are you saying we have 26 pilots?
