There are thousands & thousands of U.S special forces. Navy Seals have always been hollywood boys. Show us pics/faces of " Seal Team 6" please...i'll wait. African militaries are much smaller & hence their special forces. For their specialist roles, they dont seem to take operational security seriously.

And NO those U.S special forces guys are not clearly visible. Infact they all look the same. Would you be able to identify them when mingling in the street? As opposed to Africans (and others) who post selfies on Insta? Please

Henry240:


You do know OP Copper hasn't yet arrested an pirates?..... They just aren't there to begin with. Unlike the Nigerian navy which has to deal with challenging security problems in Nigeria, Benin and Sao-Tome & Principe.

The Nigerian navy requires a minimum of 6 Navy ships at sea from each of the naval commands. We also need ships in Benin to cover up to Togo and maybe Ghana. There's also Sao-Tome. 9 ships have to be at sea at any given time, while replacements at the docks, so we are talking a minimum 18 ships. When we say ships in Nigeria, we refer to vessels which are 45 - 50 meters and above.

When you make an ignorant comment, i'm more than obliged to educate you. World Armies page on Flickr has photos of South-African Hornets with the MRLS and Mortar system. Go check out the page. Nothing secret about that.


The South-African Commando on Instagram who wants to scale 7 of the world's highest peaks has his photos clearly splashed all over instagram. If I decide to search for South-African commandos, including your Parabats, I'm sure i'll see enough photos.


Don't pass off ignorant comments just to feel full of yourself.

Seal team 6 included.

You won't hear much about Delta operators. Like their ops in Somalia.

Majority of those pictures aren't taken by the operators but the media as they operate with local forces on the ground.

Henry240:


There's no way for me to put this nicely. This has to be the most stupiid comment i've read all year, no offence.


Charity should begin naturally at home, tell you commandos to stop posting photos on Instagram. According to you, there is a law banning them from doing that, yet your "Professionals" are breaking their own laws. We don't have a problem with showing faces in Nigeria, there is no law against it. Our military high command post images showing faces.

Why so emotional?
Who is this guy on Instagram?

patches689:


Parabats aren't secretive... Those vehicles were seen for the first time very recently, 2014 I believe

I have yet to see proper pics of currently serving Recces or guys from 7 Medical Battalion

Who is this guy on Instagram?

ssaengine:


Yes run away. You came to me as usual, now you are out of ideas. Those U.S special forces men are not clearly visible, anyone here can see that. Kindly tell us who this guy on Instagram is, so we can see for ourselves.

If there is no law banning Nigerians to post pics what made you feel obliged to comment on my post?

Henry240:


Your ignorance. I find ignorance to be very nauseating.


A bit of common sense would tell you perhaps if i could remember his name i would have shared it. His image was "regramed" to a Nigerian military page i follow. When i come across his page again, I'll share it in this thread.

Its irrelevant if OP copper has led to any arrests or not.....Our EEZ is still the largest in Africa and our Waters are the busiest in Africa, thus effective patrolling of our Waters is a necessity!!

Thus IMO NN needs 3-4 OPVs (Of which you already have 2)of 80-90m, and around 3-5 IPVs of 45m+ IPVs....thus including NNS Thunder and NNS okpabana at any given time , around 6-7 ships patrolling your waters !! Through in a few harbour patrol boats and a refitted Aradu you have a smaller, cheeper but just as effective fleet.

ssaengine:


MRLS has been seen for years, hence i didn't mention it. I'm genuinely interested in seeing Hornet Mortar pics from before this year, again, I'll wait. Not saying there wasn't even one pic available, but it was not seen and posted publicly willy nilly.

Look how you mention that one guy, doing something clearly worth mentioning (climbing 7 peaks). Kindly tell me what to search on insta
for me to find him, I want to see all the juicy pics he posts. Yes please post your most juicy SA Special Forces pics here, thanks.

You keep deciding to jump in on my posts. So please, show us SA special forces pics.

MikeCZA:
Probably received permission since it was for charity.

Henry240:


Nigerian Ships patrol as far as the Coast of Equitorial Guinea to Senegal. That's significantly larger than South-Africa's coast.

Nigeria currently operate, NNS Thunder, NNS Okpobana, NNS Prosperity, NNS Centenary, NNS Ologbo, NNS Nwamba, NNS Ohue and NNS Barama have also joined in. That is 8 ships for patrol duties. With NNS Unity to join the fleet, we have 9 ships. How you came by 2? There is also the Falcon eye and RMAC systems which compliment Naval patrols. Yet the Nigerian navy has consistently said the service requires more ships.


It simply goes to say our currently available ships are not sufficient for naval duties.

He plans to (like a bucket list), it has nothing to do with charity. I think it was Jake who regramed his page. When i come across that page again, i'll post it here.


I must have shared his photos in this page. I'll check.

MikeCZA:
Received permission.

Even regulars can't post stuff from the mission area. Including the boarder.

Henry240:


I believe Mr Selfie taking RSA Airborne Commando has taken permission to take this selfie. You probably think everyone in Africa is illiterate as South-Africans back home.


If i decide to search further on Instagram, I am sure going to get more photos.
