Yes we all saw the sole of your soldier's shoes in Bangui when they took to their heels, ran straight to the arms of France your Big Daddy grin grin

After they killed more than 800 rebels unlike those who took to their heels right on their territory. NAF get the beating together with its people.

I say again touch our beautiful people in SA and I swear you will see the sole of SANDF boot assigned to dismantle your face.

Helghast: So let's say if Nigeria were to try and place an offer to buy a couple of Apaches would it be aloud?

And when are y'all getting the new jets, I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys are going to buy

We are not buying any Apaches or attack helicopters from the U.S. Nigeria can only buy Transport helicopters with defensive weapons or OPV's from the U.S, or any military equipments in this class.


We are all waiting forward for what the government has purchased. We only know that the NAF have received A-29 super Tucanos for CAS.

MikeZA: South Africa has this month alone hosted defence ministers and their generals from two different nations,if it was Nigeria some chaps will be beating their cheats and making silly claims.

We've also hosted defence ministers from ivory coast, mali, sierra-leone and Australia. If it where peeps like you south-africa's you would, and continue to beat your chest and make more similar claims as you're currently doing.

When nigeria attacks BH is able to flee when chad attacks they rescue 100 kidnaped nigerians.

Maybe nigeria shoud go and train in chad, because letting the insurgets escape your attack means you waisting your own time.

When nigeria attacks BH, we kill thousands of them.
For months we've been saying BH comes through the border from chad, niger and cameroun. This report further substantiates this fact we've been drilling into your thick skulls.


BH attacked a village on the border with chad, Nigerian troops immediately scrambled to the area, killed 14 assailants and radioed chad for help as some of the attackers had crossed into chad. The chadians responded timely like any good neigbour should, ambushed the attackers and popped them off, freeing 85 people.


This tells me, the chadians are trustworthy partners and can be depended upon, unlike the camerounians who have been complicit in this fight against terror.

The americans in depended on the pakistanis and continue to depend on the pakistanis on their fight against the taliban on the borders of afghanistan/pakistan, does this mean the americans are wasting their time with the pakistanis?


It's called cooperation dummy.

Making silly dumb comments.

Every country has some mud here and there. Most of Angola is dry land as in SADC region. Dry land Namib desert in in Southern Angola.

The biggest part of Angola from north to south is dry desert and dry deciduous grassland....see proof.....

Nigerians know world geography, don't mess around with us Nigerians :

Fact remains that Chad has done what you have yet to do

And you allowed them to escape

This guy tells us that Nigeria are coin specialists, but they still dont understand that holding land in COIN is not the point of COIN

Btw, COIN is outdated, its called 4th Generation Warfare

What it means is N.A popped 14 bokos, radioed the chadians for assistance, the chadians responded, popped 6 and freed the hostages.

Excellent military cooperation.

You can take this to the bank. Dummy

REMINDER: AUGUGUBGUGUGUG IS SO IGNORANT ON MILITARY MATTERS THAT HE THOUGHT THAT 105MM GUNS WERE STILL THE NATO STANDARD FOR MBT'S[/size]


[size=13pt]Dude, all you know about military stuff is just what you google today. I look at the far past, near history or records and today, plus the future.

I did not say 105mm guns are NATO standard for tanks, I said they are mostly 105mm guns existing.

I said it and I posted source to prove it, MOST NATO tanks from cold war era till today ever built, have 105mm guns, and the source said it is because 105mm gun was universal in the whole western world in cold war.

Those guns are not thrown away, they are in reserve and still on thousands of NATO reserve tanks. You think NATO is just Britain , France , Germany? LOL, there are 28 countries in NATO !

Even the German Leopard tank has versions built with the 105mm gun, what NATO does is to allow 'SWAP' of 120mm guns on their tanks if they want it anytime.

"The Leopard 2 tank thus initially used perforated armour, and not Chobham armour as is sometimes claimed. PT-14 used the 120 mm Rheinmetall gun (as eventually did the U.S. M1 Abrams). After this, two new prototype hulls and three turrets were ordered, one (PT-20) mounting the original L7A3 105 mm gun and a Hughes fire control system, a second (PT-19) with the same fire control system but able to "swap out" the gun for the 120 mm Rheinmetall design."

The largest number of tanks existing in frontline service or storage reserves in 28 countries of NATO have 105mm guns

To be honest I really don't get why everyone is measuring their cock sizes by saying oh we have the strongest military. If you ask me I would of course say it's the Nigerian army to be honest but at least we can be civil about our arguments without calling each other's terrible names.

andrewza: and the big fights took place in the south, south east. That is forest and brush land.

Brush land means dry grass land , NOT BUSH LAND, don't mix them up dude....and don't you dare argue Geography with a Nigerian.

Brush is another name for scrub...and the trees are short, land is dry and solid. See photo below.

I have posted a whole map of Angolan vegetation, it's mostly desert and scrub or brush (not bUsh...bRush), and dry deciduous forest which is a dry type of forest, with lots of spaces and dry land between the trees.

Now stop twisting African Geography as seen in texbooks, maps, and photos of general area's not a selected small village that has mud or overgrown trees, there is mud in New York too, just drive into what we call back alley in spring season and you get thick mud because we don't cement back street alleys for residential estates with detached duplexes

Mk was not really a serious threat to the SADF,to a point they mostly let the police deal with them. The biggest modern conventional battle ever to be fought on the African soil was imminent. Both sides weren't digging in,about arming up.

Same mistake like the other dude, NATO is 28 different countries, not just 3 Britain, Germany, France.

My first source proved that the whole western world including built more 105mm tanks than 120mm, and thousands in storage.

My second source proved Germany still built Leopard 2 tanks with both 105mm and 120mm guns .

I have posted sources that spoke on the general trend in NATO, you guys just like to argue with truth after you box yourselves into tight corner with a lie grin
