Henry120:

Stop typing rubbish on and on. My question requires a simple yes or no answer.

Where the troops in Crimea russian or not?

Henry120:

It means there are always multiple procurements which go un-reported in the media. As such fraudulent sources like defenceweb.co.za cannot and should not be trusted.


The tender clearly states that on the 12 of August 2014, the nigerian military placed tenders for the additional supply of helicopters, armoured vehicles and 20,000 radios.

Henry120:

Those are proper military forces sorting out their Ammo, not photoshoped, not hollywood styled photos, but the reality of military life.

That is the sort of military I want to see, a military that fights, not a parade ground military or FLICKr or Instagram type SANDF.

Yes, they are somewhere in the jungle, so that the rest of the country can get the job of building and maintaining Africa's largest and most prosperous economy.

They are in the jungle, so that the President can inaugurate a 2 billion dollars methanol plant, as he did yesterday, and continues to do.

A proper military.



We don't use AK-47s.

Henry120:

They rely on numbers, yet have built the world's second largest defence industry.

patches689:

A rag tag ineffective military. Your military does not fight, it flees and suffers defeat after defeat.

REMINDER: Your military offensive HAS ONLY MADE BH STRONGER

And yes, you use AK-47s - as confirmed by the photo in question.

Henry120:

sirjerry: if our military suffer defeat after defeat and the bh are getting stronger the whole north wuold have been captured.

Henry120:

All the vehicles are on show for all to see. It is left for the policy makers to buy according to their requirements.

The nigerian army is 130,000 strong, plus a reserve force of 30,000, so their is a large market to accommodate multiple defence providers.

patches689:

Pity that defence industry wont win them any battles.

Their stuff sells because it is cheap.

Its like saying McDonalds is good food because McDonalds sells more than a 5 star-restaurant.

Russian equipment is dogshit. Apart from missiles they have absolutely nothing that can compare to western equipment.

Hell, they are still trying to finish the PAK-FA allmost a decade after the F22 came out, and the US is about to release the F-35.

And dont get me started on their monkey tier amor, the T-72 is the biggest POS that has ever been called an MBT and the T-90 is nothing more than a T-72 with composite armor.

THE RUSSIANS ARE A GENERATION AND A HALF BEHIND!!

sirjerry: A generation and half BEHIND WHO?

patches689:


Your question is misleading.

patches689:

They are capturing town after town.

Nigeria now tops the world terror rankings

The girls are still missing.

Its pretty clear who is on the ascendancy

sirjerry: TOWN AFTER TOWN? SURELY THOSE TOWN HAVE NAME.

patches689:

The west

Msauza:

IS THERE ANY PERSON IN THIS WORLD WITH A SOUND MIND WOULD EVER WANT TO WORK AS A RESERVIST TO THE NIGERIAN ARMY WHEN EVEN THE ACTUAL FULL TIME FORCE DO NOT GET PAID? I DONT BELIEVE NIGERIAN MILITARY HAS RESERVE FORCE, THEY JUST CANNOT AFFORD IT. THEIR RESERVE FORCE IS JUST IMAGINERY, THEY JUST THINK THEY HAVE BUT ON REAL TERMS THEY HAVE NONE.

CraigB:

Are you also gonna ask if the girls have names?

Talk about selective reading. You get the point.

sirjerry: NO.HE STATED CLEARLY THAT BH ARE CAPTURING TOWN AFTER TOWN I ONLY ASK HIM OF THOSE TOWN NAME.

sirjerry: NO.HE STATED CLEARLY THAT BH ARE CAPTURING TOWN AFTER TOWN I ONLY ASK HIM OF THOSE TOWN NAME.

patches689:

I am not hurt at all.

Because this is only your opinion. And I do not regard your opinion as relevant.

And finally, I have shown that at the very least the Cougar and Bushmaster are not as popular as the Casspir.

patches689:


Your question is misleading.

MikeZA: The are always small multiple contracts. Go to armscor's website right now,you'll tenders for rifle accessories,uniform,vehicle tyres etc.

Henry120:

Whether you want to accept it or not, it doesn't change the fact that the Cougar and the Bushmaster are more reliable, better protected and the most popular brand of MRAP in the market.

It is not my opinion, it is fact.

In any case, my opinion = fact in many cases as I draw my arguments from facts available.

Henry120:

Dude, an order for 60 Armoured vehicles and additional helicopters is not small by any account.


Your post = Rubbish.

Msauza:


IT SEEMS THAT YOU DONT KNOW THE HISTORY OF OBAMA THE PRESIDENT OF YOUR IMAGINERY REFUGE. GO AND READ HIS HISTORY AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND HIS CONTRIBUTION IN THE FIGHT AGAINST APARTHEID AND HOW MANDELA WAS ALWAYS HIS INSPIRATION. NIGERIA DID NOTHING OTHER THAN TAKING A PEN AND WRITTING A LONG BORING ESSAY OF WHAT WAS ALREADY KNOWN TO BOTH UK AND US.

MikeZA: It is small order. The SANDF received armoured ambulances a month back.
