"da evil white man hate nigeria [because: reason] but luv da cameroon [because: reason]"

yeah... totally

I never expected you to understand. You don't understand what is at stake and what has been ongoing. Do some research for a change.

BTW, the British Army has just set up the 77 Brigade for this kind of warfare on social media etc.

No any sniper can hit a target at 1000m. It is not some mighty obstical.

Snipers do miss target. They are not 100% perfect human beings.

Even if that was true.

It would again show how weak the Nigerian state is.

No, the opposite. We in the know are just laughing and ignoring it, hence it is intensifying. They tried the same during the Niger Delta crisis and it didn't work either.

I never said it was not a good shot. Just not a world record sniper shot.


World record includes 1,250m kill.....1,000m is close, with a weaker rifle !

It shows Nigeria is weak.

Wars aren't won through kinetic action only.

If Cameroon decided to capture more of your land, they'd supported by everyone.

15 years between Veitnam and Iraq 1
21 years between Angolan war and now

Wow - such a big difference.

UNITA numbers peaked at 65,000 in 1990 (2 years after we left) and we spread over a vast area. We engaged in the South where UNITA presence was weakest and we did all the conventional fighting, not to mention that FNLA effectively ceased to exist by 1976 and operated on the opposite side of the country. MPLA + Cuba + Russia ammounted to 200 000 men.

We consistently defeated them with only 4000 men - this is confirmed by you.

Only 32 Battalion was composed of foreigners - Recce's were a South African unit.

O, so now you admit combat experience is not everything? Sophisticated weapons and training are what makes a military powerful?? Congratulations on another magnificent contradiction!!

And again, show us a major war America has fought alone in the last 100 years.


America can fight alone, sit down 1,000 km away and use cruise missiles to wipe out an army like SANDF.

Can South Africa do that?

USA goes to war to help where other existing armies were failing like Korea, Vietnam. USA goes to war with UN mandate, reason they don't fight alone. No country ever dares to challenge USA alone.

SANDF fought alone once and lost to Seleka teenagers in 13 hours grin grin

No, Nigeria won't crumble and give in. Let Cameroon try it and they will see for themselves what will happen. There will be no consideration for collateral damage then.

Your army units simply melt quickly under pressure.

If you faced an enemy with heavy weapons within 2 weeks you'd be defending Abuja, while crying for help.

The project started in 2007

The first production begins later this year - first vehicles roll off the line at the beginning of next year

So it will have taken 9 years to design, upgrade and build the best IFV in Africa. (you arent very good at math are you??)


Badger project started in 1997....actually 18 years ago....

"May 26/13: Investigation? South Africa’s Times Live, “Military deal probe ‘waste of time'”:

“The public protector is believed to be investigating the 16-year delay in the project. Hoefyster was launched in 1997 locally and opened to international tenders in 2003. The vehicles are to arrive from next year, the last in 2023.”

The contract was issued in 2007. Defence Secretary Sam Gulube responds that he’s worried about the budget being insufficient."

Proof the badger is garbage.

We have 5 pre producstion models.

By 2020 we should have enough for 2 battalions.

You too prove the BTR-4 is not very modern as you claim.

SANDF has NO single Badger in service, you have DENEL test lab models.

By 2020 you will have nothing, no money, I just posted that above, cash problem delayed Badger for 18 years grin grin

The project.

Not development of the system.

Many vehicles were offered.

Like the GBADS project it was started many years ago, but the Umkhonto IR ER missile is still developed.

Thing about precision weapons is that they are percise

How many bombs has NATO and the Arab states dropped on ISIS? How many civilians have they killed?

ISIS is in open desert lands, Boko Haram is inside Gwoza town with civilians.

the vehicles are developed for the army, with army funding.

They belong to the army.

So you think. How comp BH were pushed from Abuja all the way to the NE and they can't even move any further? A full scale war would entail heavy arsenal being brought out which can't be used in this kind of warfare, not to talk of the new equipment coming in in their hundreds. Like I said, there will be no concerns then for collateral damage.

We all know some of the reasons why some units have been overwhelmed, i.e. moles, locals betraying info, traitors etc. Good thing is, they are being weeded out.

Just watch in the coming week or 2 what will happen.

It is a BTR with a western lay out. That is it.

They Have R licence plates. That means those denel models belong to the SANDF.

Cash problems delayed every major weapon system ever. No one rushes out build a new AFV with out insureing it is fully tested and ready.

You've brought your entire arsenal against BH, but during open engagements your army units crumble easily.

Even if your army was to launch an operation to capture a certain town, BH will pull back and capture another one like after. the capture of Kundunga.

Your military has heavy feet.
