for once in your pathetic life admit being fvckec all over by agaugust. Stop killing this thread by your circle of stupid denials and lame repeatability.

If you managed to keep up with the argument you would notice that augugbug has been soundly defeated and has resorted to posting pictures of mechanics and passing them off as tank crews

Simple fact of the matter is that your tank crews are not properly equipped

Even sanction starved rhodesia was able to give their tank crews proper equipment

you lost the border war. Stop making reference to that. Besides CIA, America , British and west Germany ready made sure you never lacked logistical supplies but you lost still.

Who said we lost?

All you can find is opinionated and untrustworthy evidence that suggests that one battle out of over 35 fought was at best a draw.

What Western logistical support? I guess you dont know about the massive Western Sanctions and Arms Embargo we were under.

Dude, you are a waste of time.

I am sorry your country sucks, I am sorry we are better than you. But its time to man up and deal with it.

I don't expect you to agree to facts; it isn't in your nature.

Whites do not complain because they are secure in their learning and education.

Nigeria and Congolese, Ghanaians, Somalia a and Zimbabweans came into SA to take the jobs created by the fall of apartheid which you Zulu morons couldn't handle and unqualified to take. That's is globalisation, boy.

Why is the ANC making it mandatory for 75% black representatives to be employed? That's insecurity.

In South Africa the best pilots in your schools are traditionally meant to go into the air force while the average ones go into commercial flight. Well, since blacks do not come up tops despite their population, the ANC government are placing Zulu monkeys on the air force and directing whites to fly commercial.

We pity your incompetent, blond government. Ticking time bomb BBC says.

You realize that they do menial labour right? All these foreigners work in gardens and as cleaners in Spaza shops.

Its like saying Mexicans are taking jobs americans are unqualified to work.

Anyway, again you are posting off topic.

Exaggerated combat figures which mean nothing.

T-72 is a failure regardless of who uses it - unlike you I am not obsessed with Nigeria (like you are obsessed with South Africa), that fact that you have ~12 T-72's doesnt change my opinion about it.

The fact that you think its any good is a damning indication of how little you know.

Envy, deep-seethed bitterness and grief ... rapidly eating Mr. Patches away. Not your fault ... frontline battle video has finally emerged showing gallant NA movement, high morale and statements of enemy casualties. If you don't believe what the BH casualty numbers given by NA personnel in the documentary ... not our problem.

Quite honestly the BH casualty numbers are very conservative something we don't have to brag about. So accept the well-served truths now! South Africans, Al Jazeera, BBC, CNN, et al, finally bite the dust. You now eat your falsehoods in true shame and ignominy.

To the contrary most foreigners own all the shops and small businesses that you always target and shamelessly loot each time you find the excuse like the one given by your cowardly Zulu king.

Unfortunately you lose! No jobs for your South African shop-attendants employed by the targeted foreign business owners. Anyway you are lying and answering falsely on the topic. angry angry angry

As i have said many times now,those crates of ammo were most probably in transit,if a lazy glutton like you can decipher that stacking ammo outdoors is dangerous,then our extremely intelligent and professional army officers already figured it out ages ago.
Your "intelligent" officers stay in trenches when they're supposed to monitoring things.

They're not in transit they're in a FOB(forward operating base), your men just piled them up.

Radars have rear hemisphere scan/detection if you don't know !

Okay, it's not from side again, Gripen is now behind F-7 by flying spiritually like Harry Porter witchcraft?

Last time I said you Southies were talking about attacking from behind, @Patches said nobody was talking about attacking from behind.

Now 80 km away or 120 km away, it's your private imagination in your bedroom that the distance between Nigerian frontline FOB forward air base is 80 km to 120 km away from South African forward air base. Do you know what a forward air base is in war? It's not Pretoria or Abuja airport o ! It's outside airstrip in the war zone.

So what is NAF airstrip is in one city 50 km away from SAAF airstrip ? Both aircraft radar will see each other immediately they are airborne.

Your private theory of 80 km radar detection is defeated because it is just your personal wish and NOT reality of war.

Next, if we just assume for the sake of assumption that Gripen and F-7 are 120 km apart, the Gripen radar will scan the F-7, well the F-7 will not radar scan the Gripen at that range, but a normal and basic radar warning on F-7 will alert the F-7 pilot that the enemy is seeing him on radar screen.

If the Gripen wants to get beside or behind the F-7 from head on course, the Gripen needs to make a full 90 degree turn aside from course, then the F-7 pilot notices a faded radar warning and he is a trained combat pilot not a fool, he knows the Gripen has made an out-flanking maneuver, thus the F-7 pilot counter maneuvers by using the altitude advantage over the Gripen, flies above the Gripen level, also banks and turns in the opposite direction and both pilots will just miss each other finally !

If they encounter again next time, the F-7 will fly into the blind spot of the Gripen radar from a long range and use the BVR missile advantage to fire 35 km range PL-9C missile into the blind side wing of the Gripen jet and convert the Gripen from metal into ashes, scattered ashes of SAAF.....airborne cremation in action
.
You don't understand how a radar scans don't you?

You don't wonder why ground radars spin?

SANDF lost their base to Seleka in just one attack, why did you not forward your 'advisory tactic's to your country's army?

No, this shows your army's poor ammo handling standards.

In a real war if that base came under arty fire things would really go BOOM.

Ok, so you just completely made up the "1000" mercenaries

Only 32 Battalion had foreigners - and they were trained and led by South Africans.

Do you know why we recruited foreigners into 32 Battalion? Do you need a lesson in psuedo operations? Another thing Mr Researcher doesnt know about?

SADF deployed 20 000 men to Angola.

Stop wasting my time with asinine arguments
Majority of 32 battalion personnel were Angolans who fought alongside SA troops during op savannah.

They become saffers and most of them are still in SA.

The menial job is what got Edwards so disturbed and the Zulu king so concerned.

Why can't you admit that foreign companies in South Africa finds majority of South African grossly incompetent just like the Anglo Dutch finds them not only as violent but also inefficient.

As blacks move into Johannesburg, the whites scamper in fear into sandton suburbs.

This whole argument is silly.

Nguni, Sotho and Venda people came North of what is today South Africa.

Whites came by sea.

This tribes formed kingdoms or countries which were conquered by the British empire at a cost.

After they left similar to anywhere they've been their divide and rule legacy was apparent as one tribe was empowered.

Look at the acholi people of Uganda.

Pakistan and India.

China and Hong Kong.

Israel and Palestine.

Sudan and South Sudan.
