Interestingly the SANDF announced last year that they were going to be making an effort to increase the number of whites... I think their target was over 20% or something.

This is the problem with quotas... if you stick to them you are constantly having to adjust the numbers to "represent" your population. One time you have too many whites, then too many blacks, then not enough coloreds, then not enough indians... and then not enough women... and when you finially get it all sorted out you have to start again, because some minority is out of balance.

Quota systems made sense back in the mid-1990's, because it was dangerous to have an Army and Police force dominated and controlled by Whites (some of whom were disloyal)... but now, in 2016? Its a pointless exercise.

Hire the best, fire the rest.

I cannot say how good they are, however i can say that without private sector participation we would make no significant headway

Henry240:



This would be interesting.

algeria keeps buying Military jets. Why are we not trying to consider Russians jet in addition to the JF-17?

Odunayaw:
simple..threats assessment by the Algerians.. they had dare not relax when de av some morroco to their west & Libya to their right

I honestly would love to see a Sukhoi(@ least 12units) ..but even the gods will not see dz coming

Henry240:
Nigerian Army

tdayof:

Yes having some will be a good idea. However is the government herself ready to do invest in warplanes?

Odunayaw:
judging from our history...Sukhois and their operational costs?..NAF logistics command would shoot d idea dead
we can only start seeing them if some1 like cameroon decides to get rafales(which we know is impossible)

I would prefer we invest in SAMs...2 batteries of HQ-9 SAMs and 4 AKASH systems will make even a major power think twice b4 sending its pilots to vahalal

tdayof:
HQ-9 won't be a bad choice but what Search and track radar and SAM does Nigeria currently operate?
