I saw no mention of that in defenceweb.

patches689:

Nope.

Its just rumors.

Show us reports from respected sources

or

Show us said vehicals in service with the Nigerian army

patches689:

A mixed role helicopter

It can carry troops

Hence, it is too big

Hence, it lacks maneuverability

Hence, it is sh1t at low level hovering and has to attack targets like a fixed wing aircraft

Hence, it is not dedicated to the attack role

Lets not even mention the fact that it carries less munitions than the Rooivalk, and in general has poor performance standards

Nigerian army 155mm heavy artillery will wipe out all your army's Igwe launchers from long range.

Our artillery outranges yours so we will smash it before it can hit our ATGM teams


Meanwhile 300 Roland missiles wait to feast on the whole South African air force of Mokopas

Mokopa outranges it

Gripen and Hawk can fly over it

Thanks for playing, but you have been relegated to the lower leagues.

patriot4: I can assure you that the Nigerian navy is a bluewater navy.

patches689:

Nigeria does not own a single dedicated attack helo

patches689:

Are multiple sources not proof enough for you?

Can you only understand picture books?

AugustineAgain:

[size=16pt]

Most airforces in this world don't want a single role attack only dedicated helicopter like Rooicalk, and those air forces are more powerful than South African airforce. Mighty Ethiopian and Braziliian air forces are some of them, they fly only multi-role combat helicopters combining attack with transport like Mi-35 Hind. However, during attack mission most Hinds do not carry troops, they operate in attack mode only.

Mi-35M of Nigeria carries 2,500 kg of weapons, Rooivalk of SAAF carries only 1,500 kg of weapons.

Also the Mi-35M carries guided bombs, bigger 30mm gun, and 20km range rockets....All those are missing on your inferior Rooivalks.

Nigeria has Africa's most powerful combat helicopter fleet today !

Henry120 cant read very well

He only understands pictures

Henry120:


It is still 40 more than your 10 Half-French helicopters.

Henry120:

You do know you haven't provided a single source.

According to you, Pictures say more than a thousand words.

Henry120:

What's the Turret of the IFV? I mean it's armaments.

patches689:

Says the guy who, when confronted with multiple sources, denies the story?

LOL

Exactly the same as when BH started capturing towns - you wanted pictures. Not sources.

patches689:

Which one?

Ingwe ATGM and 60mm mortar variant were unveiled at AAD2014

patches689:

I have posted them multiple times.

I know you have seen them.

You are simply to childish to face up to the facts of the matter.

patches689:

Nigerian army 155mm heavy artillery will wipe out all your army's Igwe launchers from long range.

Our artillery outranges yours so we will smash it before it can hit our ATGM teams

Also, you cannot hit moving targets

Nigerian air defenses will sh.oot down all your Rooivalk and Hawks with ease.

Rooivalk can engage with Mokopa from 10km out - completely out of range of the Roland

Hawks can fly over the Roland and engage with JDAM's

Nigerian army tanks will then move in to Mass R.ape your SANDF in broad day light !

One attack by Rooivalk will leave 160 dead tanks on the battle-feild. And that is excluding Milan teams as well as Ratel Zt-3 teams

Use of our data-link means that artillery can engage moving targets.

T-72's can be killed by standard RPG 7's with HEAT rounds. Its pathetic

Forgot to remind you your half information on Shilka air defense guns maximum 'k.ill zone area range' is 7km !

Effective range is less than half-that. So they can engage at 7km... but they wont hit anything

Meanwhile 300 Roland missiles wait to feast on the whole South African air force of Mokopas

Mokopa outranges it

Gripen and Hawk can fly over it

Half french half south african

And more is not better.

patches689:

They were bought to go straight into reserve

We had no intention of operating them.

Unlike your worn out Hamilton Class customs boats

GreenandGold:

Get out of that place before a building collapses on you.

Henry120:

Yeah, the second photo. I guess it's the Ingwe ATGM.

Basic models carry a 25mm cannon?

Henry120:

According to you, you have all the money in the world, why could you only afford 10?

patches689:

Nope.

Its just rumors.

patches689:

1. First world militarys want dedicated attack helos
2. Rooivalk carries 2000kg of weapons, hind much less
3. Rooivalk has the finest ATGM's in the world, and Nigeria has none of those weapons

Again, provide citations that the Hind is better

And the Hind is oboslete trash, the only reason people buy it is because it is cheap

AugustineAgain:

[size=14pt] Post clear source of Rooivalk weapons payload kilograms and weapon option types....I will reply with Mi-35M superiority and we settle this argument forever....it will be Epic !

I challenge EVERY South African on Rooivalk Vs Mi-35M Hind E !

The SAN Valour frigate that visited Lagos last time, did it have permission or it was on independent patrol and entered Nigerian navy base.....#Self Trap

Show us proof of sea search radar on your submarine and tell us it's search range, I know of it's I-band radar, show us it's for sea search...Andrewza claimed it was for detecting enemy aircraft

[size=14pt] Navy warships don't fire missiles on pirated ships dummy, you are to rescue and save the pirated ship, not to destroy it with missile!

You just proved South Africa has ZERO experience in naval anti-piracy warfare !

Nigeria will be your teacher as usual !
