EVarn: Bwahahajaha… Currently, the skytrax remains the only reliable and credible organisation that rates airlines and airports around the world. They rates all these according to experience of passengers and researchers and their their satellite offices are based across the world in many airports. |

patches689: You are the immature old man that takes things personally. I posted European and Sudanese T-72 tanks, then you responded with South African army uniformed man with MILAN anti-tank missile and wrote that "We all know who operates a MILAN ATGM", why did you not post another country's MILAN ? T-72 tank totally defeated British made Iranian Chieftain tanks in Gulf war. Proof confirmed by Iranian army tank commander : http://www.iran-heritage.org/interestgroups/war-iraqiran-news2.htm Show me a 1st or 2nd generation tank like the T-72 that fought T-72 and won. Show me an European 1st or 2nd generation tank in a video where it resisted any ATGM..... Pitch those other tanks of equal generation as T-72, against the same weapons used to destroy T-72 and show us the battle result now !

AugustineAgain: Augustus, you were the one who shied away from honest debate on went straight to denying you had said things and hurling insults. Now, to your statements in this post: 1. The Milan reference was a response to your statement about Laser Warning 2. How is my bragging about what the SANDF has an insult to Nigeria or childish behaviour? Its a thread about African militaries - yet you get upset when I post the equipment of an African military? I dont have to show you anything... King Tiger was the most feared tank of WW2... does it mean it has any relevance on the modern battlefield? T72 is obsolete trash that is only good at killing (or eating) its crew. It has no place on the modern battlefield The only fool is one who wades into a discussion about ATGM's and top of the range modern MBT's and starts blathering on about T72's. |

12 October 2007: Nine South African National Defence Force (SANDF) soldiers were killed and 14 injured by the system during a training exercise at the SANDF Battle School at Lohatla in the Northern Cape province. A line of 8 cannons were engaging a tank hulk in manual ground fire with the guns at low elevation and the maximum traverse of the barrels secured by safety poles and tethers. The rightmost gun jammed while firing and had to be repaired by technicians. Shortly after the gun was cleared to fire again, the gun malfunctioned, entered automatic mode, broke through the traversal-restriction safety mechanisms and began firing, striking the other guns along the firing line. Initial reports suggested that the malfunction was caused when the gun underwent an unexplained hang fire of the explosive 35mm ammunition in the magazines, causing the turret to swing uncontrolled through 360-degrees firing wildly until it exhausted its remaining ammo. A statement issued by the South African Defense Minister Mosiuoa Lekota, however, stated that the gun had inexplicably traversed 90-degrees to the left, breaking through the safety mechanisms, and fired only a 1/8 second long burst, striking all of the soldiers located on the right hand side of their guns.[15][16] The accident report published by the SANDF in January 2008 blamed "undetected mechanical failure— which the manufacturers of an anti-aircraft gun allegedly kept secret". The report says the gun malfunctioned because a spring pin, which is the size of a matchstick, sheared. Other sources blamed poor training and safety procedures in the SANDF . . . .. ... ....

Meanwhile last year... Only 38% of the South African National Defence Force's (SANDF's) facilities are in acceptable condition as are only half the living quarters of soldiers, according to a report tabled in parliament. Secretary for Defence Sam Gulube on Wednesday told members of Parliament's defence portfolio defence committee that the Department of Public Works (DPW) had let the SANDF down. "The chief of the SANDF said no... don't go there to the committee and be diplomatic. Tell the committee, in no uncertain terms, how much our soldiers have been let down by the department of public works," Sapa quotes Gulube as saying. According to a document shown to the committee, just 38% of SANDF facilities are in acceptable condition with 50% of living quarters in fair condition. forty percent were considered hazardous and 2% in such poor condition they will have to be demolished. Military bases at Doornkop and Lenz are in particularly bad shape. The conditions at both bases, home to the SA Army's 21 Infantry Battalion, are unsuitable for human habitation. The Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Defence and Military Veterans visited the bases and saw buildings in disrepair; a shortage of housing; a shortage of vehicles; squatters having moved in to some dilapidated buildings; and poor discipline, including soldiers not reporting for duty. The Doornkop and Lenz bases were earmarked for maintenance three years ago but little has changed since then. Gulube said that the situation meant that the SANDF was unable to effectively deliver on its constitutional mandate, Business Day reports, and that the poor state of SANDF facilities could impact the morale of soldiers. Gulube said there was a repair and maintenance backlog of between R8 and R13 billion, and that maintenance underspending on capital projects by the Department of Public Works amounted to R1.6 billion over the past three financial years. Opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) shadow defence minister David Maynier said the Department of Defence had "both hands tied behind its back by the monumentally incompetent Department of Public Works" and called for the DPW to be kicked out of the Department of Defence. SANDF chief General Solly Shoke spearheaded the re- establishment of the Army's Works Regiment so that at least some maintenance and refurbishment of military facilities could be done in-house. The regiment has subsequently grown into a Works Formation, another indicator the military wants to be master of its own fate when it comes to facilities maintenance. Being responsible for its own maintenance could save the SANDF R1 billion a year, according to General Justice Nkonyane. Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has also raised the issue of infrastructure. "Over the past 20 years we have not paid enough attention to the servicing and improving the state of our facilities," she said during a media briefing last month. "The general state of our hospitals, barracks, and all our bases leave a lot to be desired. The recent establishment of the Defence Works Formation is a development that should assist us in this regard, but there are too many issues that need to be addressed if this unit is to function effectively." |

The Nigerian military on
Wednesday said the
Military Command and
Control Centre (MCCC) in
Maiduguri and Yola will be
operational within 21 days.
This was contained in a
statement by Col. Sani
Usman, the Acting
Director of Army Public
Relations in Abuja, who
noted that the military
had commenced the installation of hi-tech equipment and
infrastructure development of the MCCC in Maiduguri and
Yola.
The statement said that the posting of additional operations
staff had also commenced.
Usman said the installations of the equipment and the
posting of the additional staff were to be completed within
21 days when the centre would be fully operational.
He said that with the establishment of the centre, all
strategic and operational decisions on the fight against
terrorism and insurgency would emanate from the MCCC.
“This will ensure faster response time; improve situational
awareness and better coordination of all stakeholders.
“The centre will also give the needed impetus that would
ensure prosecution and successful conclusion of the war
against terrorism. “It will also provide the required interface
between the Armed Forces of Nigeria and the Multi-National
Joint Task Force to be deployed at the Lake Chad Basin area
at the end of July 2015.
“You will recall that a reconnaissance and an advance team
for the establishment of Military Command and Control
Centre (MCCC) were in Maiduguri and Yola last week,”
Usman said.
He further noted that the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen
Kenneth Minimah, and the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal
Adesola Amosu, were at the MCCC to commence operations 1 Like |

patches689: Discussion was about how bad a T-72 is, you and the other guy were busy posting photos of T-72 destroyed by missiles. You go all over internet saying T-72 is bad, you claim you are expert on tanks, yet you NEVER mentioned in your comments that it was old generation T-72 against modern generation tanks and missiles, until I started challenging your claims, you never talked about RHA vs ERA vs Composite armour, you foolishly thought all tanks are of the same protection level.....Adult fool I said you should show us how European tanks of same generation as T-72 have fared against ATGM or M1A1 Abrams that has composite armour, but you FAILED to reply with any evidence. Any tanks ammunition or fuel storage can be hit, Centurion tanks suffer same fate, yet you don't announce them as a bad tank because South African army has large numbers of Centurion tanks. Well, keep running away, I repeatedly ask you to show us video of European tank Vs ATGM, you run away, but I will post one for the world to see your biased and incompetent opinions/comments that you paste all over internet....Grown up E-Fool VIDEO : BRITISH CENTURION TANK VS ATGM....SEE HOW THE TANK BEGINS TO ROAST ITSELF FROM INSIDE UNTIL BARBECUED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LieUSOgq-bU LET ME SEE YOU RUBBISH A T-72 TANK AGAIN, E-FOOL ! . 3 Likes |

Nigeria deploys 700 soldiers to Liberia
No fewer than 700 officers and soldiers of the Nigerian
Army are set for deployment for peace keeping
operation in Liberia, just as the Army authority has
warned the troops to prevent Ebola through hygienic
living
The troops were warned to avoid any act capable of
dragging the image of Nigeria and Nigerian Army to
the mud, as the army will not accept a situation where
its soldiers are seen as soft targets.
General Officer Commanding (GOC) 1 Division,
Nigerian Army, Major General Kenneth Osuji gave the
warning while addressing the troops at the graduation
ceremony marking the end of their pre-deployment
training in Jaji, Kaduna State on Friday.
General Osuji who is the GOC of the 1 Brigade, which
is made up of the Nigerian Battalion (NIBATT)36 in the
United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) said, they
must work with the rules of engagement of the mission
and respect the cultural and religious sensitivity of
Liberia people.
According to him, “Be reminded that the Nigerian
Army will not accept any situation where its troops are
seen as soft targets or conducting themselves in
unprofessional manner such as trafficking in illicit
substances of any kind including alcohol and drugs.
“Additionally, you must respect the cultural and
religious sensitivity of the people of Liberia. You must
exhibit the highest sense of personal/environmental
hygiene as Liberia is just emerging from an EBOLA
epidemic,” the GOC stressed. http://thenationonlineng.net/new/nigeria-deploys-700- soldiers-to-liberia/ 2 Likes |
