Badger CAN swim. Option for amphibious crossing is on the vehicle. Nothing major to change. Since SANDF has no major requirement for amphibious crossing (no big lakes in SA) it is not a major design point.

MikeCZAR:
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.

The year somtjing is built does not make it modern or not modern.

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

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."

Kodunga is in Army hands as the last attempt was repelled with serious casualties against BH including Chadians. No, not all the arsenal has been deployed because the army has multiple duties and operations all over Nigeria.

Anyway, i am not saying anymore as you never know who is monitoring. Just watch as i have said. Have a good day.

MikeCZAR:
See how Chadian soldiers are effective against BH?

Unlike some who keep claiming "our operations having an effect", while BH keeps capturing more land.

RESCUE NIGERIA MIGHTY CHAD!!!!!

agaugust:


At the beginning of this forum in 2010 to 2012, you Southies said all Nigerian weapons are old and not modern even when they have been upgraded, because SANDF purchased theirs in 2005 to 2010. Now you change story

agaugust:


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

Yes it can swim.

This is why we chose a modular vehicle.

andrewza:


They can't swim. They removed the ability for more armour.

agaugust:


Show me factory proof that large numbers of Bagder is being made as we speak.

Also show me one single Badger with SANDF troops, NOT DENEL marketing show for traded fair display

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

Clown.

agaugust:


Chad is not facing Boko Haram inside Njdamena, any suicide bombing in Chad? Any Boko T-55 tank or Shilka AAA in Chad?

Chad faces only 0.001 % of Boko Haram. Cameroon say a little more and cried out for help.

The town Chad cleared of Bokos at border area, was done after NAF bombardment destroyed Boko Haram heavy equipment.

Only Nigeria can withstand Boko Haram in West Africa

agaugust:


Bagder is NOT amphibious....ask your SANDF navy man @andrewza, it will sink to bottom of lake Chad, watching BTR-4 swim across
.

patches689:


I have proven that it is not as good as the Badger

Your report says nothing about cash problems - it just outlines a long term and well thought out project

The factory to build them opens in RSA this year - first ones enter service next year.

So by 2016 we will have the first batch.

Are you illiterate or simply blind?

MikeCZAR:
The production facility is already there.

Production might start this year, if qualification for the other vehicles is finished ahead of time.

patches689:


because it was during the middle of the fighting

You dont admit to any capabilities you can hide

And most rifles can reach out and touch you at 1km

agaugust:


Most assault rifles effective range is 300m to 600m.

What is the range of SANDF R-4 rifle ? 1,000m ?

Fool...Fraud !

Henry120:


You are broke. Your SANDF is getting nothing.

patches689:


if the need arises armor can be removed and props fitted.

Note that they left the prow plate on the front of the vehicle (it pushes up a wave that keeps the nose of the vehical from diving under the water in choppy conditions)

MikeCZAR:
Yes, BH pushed out of Kodunga and it captured another town.

All necessary arsenal deployed but there's no effect, real men have arrived to teach your military how.

saengine:


Thats what im saying. Not a major design point. The option to go amphibious is on the vehicle, a radical design change wouldnt be needed. If SA was to conduct heavy operations in regions with a lot of still water.....the amphibious option can be resurrected at a sacrifice of armour.

andrewza:


Funny I don't feel broke.

patches689:


Ok, so you are telling me they just steal boats and then sail them to the nearest port with huge crains and unload it all?

The ships and crew are what they want - ransom

This is an indisputable fact

Henry120:


You don't, but your 12 mothballed Gripens are filling the pinch, the inability for the SAAF to purchase aviation fuel, your sub which spent 7 years at the docks are enough proof.
