Prove it.

What is clear is that Nigerian military finally defeated Boko Haram in this war and have captured ALL Boko Haram caliphates and camps as well as destroyed all their armoured vehicles and artillery....what else is victory in a war? NATO in Afghanistan could not do what Nigeria did !

Boko is reduced to a tiny hit and run group with no central command any more. SANDF should go do that to Seleka so we can assess your army that avoids any sign of war and conflict, with your entire battalion of MRAPs, artillery and ammunition looted in broad daylight by local rebels in Burundi grin grin

No SANDF general is bold enough to enter war zone....LOL...cowards....pot bellies grin grin

Boko no longer drives around in public, LOL, we actually launched that attack to catch their two trucks in the bush, they could not openly stand and fight us anymore....that's a victory SANDF has NEVER achieved in any war. grin grin

SA is the only country in Africa that has a battle academy and that does stimulatory war exercises. No any country in Africa does that. Only Australia and SA in Southern hemisphere conduct such exercises, not even Egypt conduct such exercises. The only thing that they do is just training, that's all.

No

Your generals went to the front for a cheap public relations stunt

Playing patton, and it cost the lives of two of your soldiers lives

And, furthermore, generals arent supposed to lead from the front - if a general has to lead from the front something is seriously wrong

"Dr. Shaul Shay reviews the "Badr 2014" exercise, the largest Egyptian military maneuver since 1996, focused on a defensive strategy to counter hostile attacks, implement force mobilization procedures, confront emergency situations, make quick decisions, achieve air superiority and carry out air attacks through all the stages of the maneuver.

The exercise included units from the Mechanized Infantry, Armored Divisions, Artillery, and Rapid Deployment Forces.

The Commander In Chief and Minister of Defense and Military Production General Sedki Sobhi and Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Lt. General Mahmoud Hegazy, attended on October 27,2014, a simulation of a Suez Canal crossing. The simulated crossing was executed by the Third Army. Military engineers connected the western and eastern banks of the canal via movable bridges, allowing vehicles and tanks to cross the Suez Canal. Army units used APCs and boats aided by air forces units.

In another phase of the exercise, Third Field Army's mechanical infantry and armored units carried out a landing operation to counter a stimulated attack by hostile air landing troops and regain control over an important mountainous strait in South Sinai.

The exercises included mine sweeping, combating piracy on the high seas, securing commercial shipping, intercepting suspicious vessels, tracking smugglers and, perhaps the most difficult, a simulated exercise that involved detecting and destroying enemy submarines. A helicopter took off from a frigate to locate the submarine with sonar devices. The enemy boat was then destroyed with torpedoes fired from both the helicopter and a destroyer. A surface to surface missile battle was staged to test the accuracy of missiles. Submarines also launched torpedoes and depth/ surface missiles at an enemy naval unit.

The drill involved more than 250 combat jet fighters and helicopters as they carried out more than 60 air sorties in cooperation with units of paratroopers, Egyptian commandos and the Central Military Region regiments."

South Africa will NEVER achieve the above in 100 years, your d_ick is very small grin grin

ALL COUNTRIES IN AFRICA CAN BE DOING MILITARY EXERCISES BUT THEY ALL DO NOT HAVE A STABLE COMBAT TRAINING ACADEMY.


SA ARMY COMBAT CENTER IS THE ONLY WAR INSTITUTION ON THE CONTINENT AND THERE ARE ONLY TEN OF SUCH INSTITUTION IN THE WORLD.


http://www.actc.army.mil.za/


I QUOTE: The SA Army Combat Training Centre is unique in the sense that it is one of ten similar institutions in the world that provide exclusive and permanent facilities for landward warfare training. Only two of these institutions are located in the Southern hemisphere, of which the SA Army Combat Training Centre is the largest, 158 000 hectares in comparison to other training facilities in the Southern hemisphere. Other similar institutions are situated in the Mojave Desert in the United States of America, the Negev Desert in Israel, as well as Canada, France, India, Australia and Pakistan.

Sorry to disappoint you sir. Egypt conduct just an ordinary military exercise that any country would do and not an incorporated simulatory war training exercises. You can ask them if you want. There are only ten countries in the world that have such a facility that provide incorporated simulatory war training exercises with all arms in service.

Sounds like an excellent job for NA. Those interpreting the video to mean defeat, are actually dumbos and dundees, the man never said he was with an army group that was defeated, nothing like that in the 10 minute video conversation.

Saharareporters itself is guilty of first posting the man's photo as that of a Boko member, now they turn around there own story to change it, LOL....the journalist does not know what an informant and spy is. That man is a spy for Nigerian army.

If South African army had such an informant/spy in Bangui, Seleka would not have caught your troops p.ants down grin grin

HE IS A NIGERIAN SOLDIER AS YOU CAN SEE HE WAS EVEN GIVEN UNIFORM THAT SIT ON HIS LAP TO WEAR. NIGERIAN SOLDIERS ARE GENERALLY UNEDUCATED BY THE WAY. FOR AS LONG YOU HAVE PRIMARY EDUCATION YOU CAN BECOME A SOLDIER IN NIGERIA. YOU CAN AS WELL BECOME AN OFFICER IN NIGERIAN MILITARY WITHOUT POST SCHOOL QUALIFICATION/ DIPLOMA OR DEGREE.
