There is no war there fool grin grin

How many battled did SANDF fight in Sudan this month? How many guns and artillery fired?

It's just a simple African Union controlled peace keeping mission NOT a war of tanks, jets, artillery !

NONE !

Nigerian army finished of the battles of Sudan before SANDF crept in at night.

Hollywood army = SANDF grin grin
.
Doesn't matter, those rebels are equally equipped as BH, that is how a military base should like.

If they were defeated they must have failed to meet an objective.

What objective did they fail to meet?

And that Nigerian company hired South Africans to set up your 72nd Strike Force (or whatever it is called). Confirmed by the latest Vice Episode and confirmed by the white guy flying the hind in that episode

"Bangui - South African soldiers in the Central African Republic are seeking safe passage to the airport after taking heavy losses during fighting with Seleka rebels, Reuters reports."



"Amy Martin of the UN's humanitarian agency, OCHA, told the BBC World Service that the SA troops had retreated to their barracks and were seeking safe passage to the airport."


"Seleka spokesperson Eric Massi said the rebels had broken through a line of South African soldiers during their push into the city."


Your poorly trained Special forces were routed efficiently. All new sources present allude to this fact.

The Nigerian government hired a Nigerian company to provide specific services to the Nigerian military. A Private Nigerian company can't to told how to do business if they aren't breaking the law. Nigeria isn't a communist state.

The base has 2 things your frontline fortifications dont

1. Barbed-wire
2. sand-bagged strongpoints

That man up there is just one of many - exploiting the flat terrain to watch for major troop movements.




Your poorly trained troops cannot perform basic base defence in a U.N operation. Pathetic!

The poor man up there is a sitting duck for snipers. He looks bewildered.

You said we lost - what objective did we fail to meet?

To say we were routed is to say that we intended to achieve something and Seleka prevented this. What did we fail to achieve?


So you dont dispute that foreign mercenaries are now actively engaged in combat?

Is this what you call a base?
What?Have you never seen a neat professional base before.
"6 APC's for 1500 men"
We had +- 200 men in Sudan mate!
"The sentry guy a perfect sitting duck."
?Sudan=desert=no cover , he could see for hundreds of km, thus basically impossible to be targeted without being seen.

It's a poorly defended excuse for a base.

6 APC's for 850..... Ok cool. A country that manufactures APC's can't provide them for it's troops.

It only takes one sniper, one RPG, one 14.5mm........... And it's Goodbye vienna.

Basic base defence?

Look again, every dawn they do a stand-to.

They have properly sandbagged firing positions as well as barded wire to slow down would be attackers.

Your men have neither of these things.

Who said 6 APC's for 850 men?

That is a patrol base or Combat Outpost (COP) for a section of men.

Who says we dont have our own snipers? Mortars? MGL's? as well as UN air-support on call.

Of course you were roundly defeated in the CAR. Has that even been in doubt to the rest of the world........ NO.


There are no foreign mercenaries in Nigeria. The Nigerian government hired a Nigerian military contractor to provide on the ground training on multiple newly acquired assets. We never, nor did the government ever deny that.

The pale skinned individual might as well be a fair skinned Nigerian. We did not see his face so as to conclude upon his race/nationality.

you're correct, but your definition is also very narrow and strict. @mikeczar

Anglo always stand for English either in relation to person or culture or institution. Dutch is always Dutch. Anglo-Dutch simply refers loosely to people of brtish and Dutch backgrounds. And the two major Europeans that built and run southafrica are the Dutch who chased the natives into caves and trees,lol, then came the English who conquered the Dutch and ruled as colonists.

Yes we know other pockets of whites later came from Europe to settle in but their numbers are darn insignificant to change the term. All whites immigrating to SA either fell into the Dutch or English angle.

And isn't Afrikaans are corrupt form of Dutch language, a pidgin variant.
I know what you are referring to when you say Anglo-Dutch, I was simply pointing out that it's incorrect, but you can keep using the frase if you wish!

There are also NO Afikaners in SA with 100% Dutch blood line, every Afikaner WILL have either French, German or both ancestry. A lot of german and even more French settlers arrived as early as 5-10 years after Jan van Riebeeck first arrived in SA. Nel, Le roux, Marais , Fourie are some of the most common Afikaner surnames in SA and all are derived from French ancestry .

No Afrikaans is officially a language on its own, that's like saying Portuguese is a pigin version of Spanish.
Although Afrikaans is derived from Dutch and it's possible for me to read and understand Dutch, Afrikaans also has quite a lot of French and German influence, thus your average Afikaner will have a understanding(although very very limited), of French and German text.

Actually, you don't have snipers, mortars and MGLs.

The entire point of a mortar is to fire on targets you can not see.
Enemies you cant see,but that you can locate.If you can neither see nor locate,then you end up wasting time,effort and ammunition.
let me break it down: an invading army from botswana marches in force against south africa,on getting to southern botswana,they stop and prepare to launch a mortar bombardment into south africa from the border town of Gaborone,they are targeting a weapon nest belonging to the SANDF,but they can neither see nor do they know where the ammo storage facility is located,they simply know that the SANDF has an armoury in the North West area.
What do you think would happen if they start launching mortars into SA?,the heavy mortars could land in Mmabatho or Rutenburg or Mamelodi or Pretoria or Klerksdorp or Soweto os Tsakane or Johannesburg or even potchefstroom!,but at the end of the day,the targetted armoury would be safe and sound.

You haven't provided any evidence to support your proof. Nigerians on Nairaland military thread have posted at least 2,000 photos of ongoing COIN operations. None supports mercenary stories.

Ok.

Lets deconstruct this:

- its your FOB

Our FOB is in Kutum a town of 45 000 people. Those men are in the middle of the desert

- 6 APC's for 850 men

Does it look like 850 men in the picture?

- You dont have snipers, mortars or MGL's

They are standard equipment for every single battalion in the army. So yes we do.

- Rebels are better than the SANDF Seleka proved this.

They lost over 400 men, we lost 13.

Thus:

1 South African soldier is worth 30 Rebels.

they needn't deny it, my boy. They are stating their heritage which stand in sharp contrast to yours.

I have caught you in other threads where you descended to the brainless savage you are and hate on Nigerians. So you're always having emotional diarrhoea wherever Nigeria is mentioned.

I can't be a tribalist, my Zulu stooge. The reason the citizens of Nigeria stgand head above any African country is because of her tribal diversity. The yorubas alone with their literary and educational prowess , organisational skills are a threat, not to mention the entrepreneurial igbos who combine hardwork, education, mobility and risk-taking to colonise you in your very streets.

Then the southern Nigerians who have the swagger and cosmopolitan heritage to morph into any society with great adaptability and sophistication. The Middle-belterns are a cultural and intelectual spread between the north and the South.

Are you having another emotional breakdown?

Has the surfacing of white mercanaries winning your war for you caused you to suffer one of your famous meltdowns?

Our Battalion FOB is in a town of 45 000 people not in the desert. 850 men are there, but dispersed amongst the FOB and various COP's in the region.

No battalion would deploy without its mission critical equipment - if it deployed without them it would deploy without the men who operate them. The battalion there is full strength.

How did Seleka defeat us? What objective did we fail to meet? Why cant you answer this question?
