all4naija: The statement in bold only speaks of your petty view to world politics. Russia gas reserve and oil together is by far larger and richer than Iran's yet they are behind Iranian nuclear facilities. You seem to be very silly to think Russians would reject a multi-billion dollars(coming from oil) project to build nuclear facilities in Nigeria because they have larger reserve. It is clear testament to your shallow perception of how the present world operates.

Keep dreaming that Russia will save your sorry a$$ from Nigeria because they are in some kind of economy block with your country. For such you think they will reject such multi-billion contract is like waiting for Christ to come and solve human problems..

DictatorZAR:

we all know your a fake.

You @Aguagust you don't have any clue of military and hardware. why don't you also respond to the BTR-U disclaimer Mr military security analyst.

agaugust:



i have fully responded to the BTR-3U challenge on page 182, you saw it, but you dont have the courage to reply me. even one of my best bosses in the office a retired US Army colonel CANNOT challenge my BTR-3U post on page 182, so let me see if you @DictatorZAR have any courage to challenge it...you south african coward !

[size=16pt] Nigerian army is clearly the best infantry/foot soldiers in Africa !

who dares to challenge these warriors ? [/size]

imagine south african army was fighting against nigerian army in CAR instead of seleka rebels ! nigerian army will waste the south african army in few hours of battle....and we capture @andrewza, then we photograph him in handcuffs !

andrewza:

Lol. Do you think we would send 265 solders against a army.

In Jan seleka was no more than 2000 now they reported at over 5000. Some even say solders from chad where among them.


200 sa solders will kill 1000 nigerian solders.

patriot4: Nigerian soldiers don't die easy!
on the other hand SA soldiers who are not subjected to the same selectivity, just can't perform the same tasks.

andrewza:


Lol you think SA training is soft. People have and do die on our infatry course. During my basic training some one broke his Hip bone and 7 females the pelvic. And that is navy basic training. Not even infantry.

Our SF training is the toughest in the world. It easyer to climb mount everist.

patriot4:
This is sparta !!!!

andrewza:

Delviel woods part of the battel for somms. A SA force of just over 1000 held the line in the face of deth. Suffring 80% losess. At the end of the day 140 men and 3 officers marched out. Non ran away.

Stand our ground is what we do.

patriot4:
My dad is the toughest man I have ever seen, yet he told me that during his army training he almost died in many occasions. He told me about the selectivity, and about the constant group punishment. How can you say SA special forces training is the toughest in the world ? Come on, everybody has tough SF training, the difference is the level of selectivity, because it is the cadets level that will guarantee the level of the training.

agaugust:

source please !

andrewza:


Some of the training in nigeria is hard for nothing. Like standing on your head. Really what that going to help you with. Now lepord crawling 1KM is both hard and pratical.

patriot4: Standing on their head is what they do as punishment or between real trainings. It is meant at breaking them as men, before making them into real soldiers. It is a warrior practice that some Nigerian kingdoms were already using to discipline their troops before colonization. The French foreign legion has that type of ideology as well, and everybody praises the french foreign legion for that. The US special forces has similar training punishment as the Nigerian army. You see the difference between a Nigerian soldier and the rest is that what you would consider special forces training in your army is what Nigeria would consider regular training.

DictatorZAR: Now I'm really getting tired of you and your stup*idty.

Now back to the BTR:
1)Nigeria : 30 BTR-3UN, 6 BTR-3UK, 4 BTR-3UR and 7BTR-3E/14,5

2)UAE : 90 "Gaurdian's"

UAE marines version are known under the name of "Guardian".

Now mr analyst tell your "fairy colonel I say kiss my black *ass"

andrewza: I give you the vulter UAS of the south african army.

agaugust:

you see, i dont care what source you choose to quote among the two above, i dont care the name you choose to call the diffeerent models of nigerian army BTR-3U fighting vehicles, my point is they all have anti-tank guided missiles to destroy south african olifant heavy tanks, we just waste your army.[/b]


this thread is no longer the early pages where you south africans laugh at nigerian military weapons like T-55 tanks, Vickers Tanks, NNS Aradu, etc and call them old weapons. now we are posting nigerian military weapons that are modern technology from year 2000 to year 2013.

.

agaugust:



its nothing special, many african countries have all kinds of UAV.

only nigeria has USV for its navy sea drone force in the whole of africa. no need for me to repeat my post on nigerian UAV and USV drones.

.

andrewza:


Fist we never siad they did not have AGMs. Second. What missiel they firing. Your link dose not mention the purches of any new AGMs. Nigeria needs over 200 BTR3s not less than 50.

agaugust:


so the source needs to count how many rounds of ammunition, shells, missiles, spare parts, gallons of fuel, water in the engine radiator, food for the vehicle operators/drivers, etc that came with the weapons ? did any source count how many anti-tank missiles came with nigerian Mi-35 Hind helicopter gunships too ?

you drink your weekend alcohol to overdose ?

andrewza: the BTR3 come in such small numbers. Nigeria needs over 200 BTR3s not less than 50.

andrewza: The fast majorty of the Nigerian milltary is out dated.

andrewza: http://m.mg.co.za/index.php?view=article&urlid=2013-04-12-00-sa-france-battle-for-africa

Funny how nigeria is not mentioned. O yes you guys are part of the french block.

agaugust:

nigeria is locally producing new heavy weapons, we dont want to become permanent buyer of weapons. we are reverse engineering a lot of weapons we have just like China did and became great. we buy a moderate number and we dis-assemble and re-assemble them to see the engineering secrets. thats what we did to austria/german Steyr APC to produce nigerian Igirigi APC from its basics.

nigerian airforce did same thing to our chinese F-7 jets, we dis-assembled and re-assembled the jets in nigeria to see all its technical secrets, same way china did to russian mig-21 jets to produce f-7 jets. we will do the same thing to chinese modern L-15 falcon light attack jets when we get them, nigeria has future plans to be a great heavy weapons producer in our own nigerian factories.

nigerians are smarter than you think.

igirigi APC is being developed into various version, anti-tank missile IFV, anti-aircraft missile mobile Air defence vehicle, just needs some time as nigerian defence industry grows fast and advanced




majority of nigerian army weapons outdated ?

about 300 cobra and VBL purchased around 2006
about 45 sandcat MRAPS purchased 2013
about 100 BTR-3U and MT-LB purchased around 2006
many romanian artilery purchased around 2006
about 120 mowags and BTR-80 purchsed around 2005
about 200 mountain lions MRAPS purchased 2013
....and many i dont need to count, and many more on order paid for and soon to be delivered...

[size=16pt] over 1,000 very modern army combat vehicles from 2006 to 2013 purchased into nigerian army and you call us outdated ![/size]

@andrewza did your your e.nemy mix some a.cid chemicals into the 12 bottles of beer you drank today ? or their is a herbalist in south africa that is playing games with your mind ?

.

andrewza: Fas majorty is obosolity.

It a fact live with it. You have about 100 good IFV/APC (the cobra is not classfied has a APC). Of your tanks 276 need to be uppgraded or replecset. (There is a nice T55 upgrade, makes it in to a real beast. The vickers should be replaset with T72 or simmlar tank maybe the type 85.

The swing fire is out dated and not a threat. Replase with milane ot russian AGM.
Blowpipe and SA-7 are no threat for current gen anti missel sytems.
Should I go on. We in SA know we have outdated wepaons and have projects to replacse them.
