There are po.rn sites with more integrity than beegugubug. Delusions of grandeur and mental instability.

[size=25pt]GERMANS CONFIRM THAT THEY FIRED ON THE FISHING BOAT The German navy’s frigate FGS Hessen was responsible for accidentally targeting a fishing vessel during Exercise Good Hope last month. The German embassy said that the captain of the Hessen used practice ammunition rather than live ammunition when his frigate accidentally targeted a ski boat whilst carrying out a live fire exercise on 25 March in southern Cape waters. The German embassy said five rounds were fired at the boat, landing around 20 metres from their target, after being mistakenly identified by the Hessen’s commander and firing supervisor. After being shot at, Day immediately put on his bright deck lights so that the people on the boat could be seen, and headed west at full speed. - DefenceWeb We await a full apology from Nigerians for accusing the SANDF of such actions without any fact or substance to their allegations[/size] 5 Likes |

http://itweb.co.za/mobilesite/defenceweb/home/item_id-38765/ [size=14pt]CONFIRMED - GERMAN NAVAL VESSEL FIRED AT FISHING BOAT. CASE CLOSED. [/size] The German navy's frigate FGS Hessen was responsible for accidentally targeting a fishing vessel during Exercise Good Hope last month. The German embassy said that the captain of the Hessen used practice ammunition rather than live ammunition when his frigate accidentally targeted a ski boat whilst carrying out a live fire exercise on 25 March in southern Cape waters. Commercial fisherman and skipper Anthony Day, with nine crew members, launched from Struisbaai harbour at about 02h30 in his 28-foot boat, the Arctic. They intended heading to Twelve Mile Bank, south-southwest of Struisbaai, to fish for Geelbeck.Day said that while he was waiting for his crew before launching, a charter boat operator arrived, towing the black-painted boat with a radar reflector. Day spoke to them and was informed that the boat was going to be used as a target at the Denel Overberg Test Range, approximately 20 nautical miles to the northeast. Day launched his boat whilst the target boat was still tied up alongside the quay. He headed in a south-south-westerly direction opposite to that of the Denel test range. In the early hours of the morning, the Hessen mistakenly identified the fishing vessel as the 14 foot radio controlled 'Hammerhead' boat that was to be used for target practice as both the target and the ski boat had very similar profiles. The German embassy said five rounds were fired at the boat, landing around 20 metres from their target, after being mistakenly identified by the Hessen's commander and firing supervisor. After being shot at, Day immediately put on his bright deck lights so that the people on the boat could be seen, and headed west at full speed. The German military said South Africa was responsible for closing off the area for training, according to Netwerk24.At the time of the incident, German and South African forces were conducting live fire exercises off the coast of the Overberg Test Range, a declared live firing area, as part of Exercise Good Hope VI. Both tactical phases and missile firing were done using RIM-7 Sea Sparrow short range anti-aircraft and anti-missile weapons and RIM-116 rolling airframe missiles as well as Umkhonto infrared homing missiles, 76 mm guns and smaller weapons. The German frigates Karlsruhe and Hessen together with the support ship Berlin were involved in the tactical exercise, with Hessen tasked with shooting the target vessel. Case officially closed. We kept telling you...how do you know it was a South African Naval vessel? Drown in your eternal shame. 2 Likes |

jl115: Can you read English language, white man ? I said : "NA + NAF + NN have won ALL their wars in modern history from half a century ago ! SANDF has NOT won any war, South Africa has NEVER won any war in it's military history. !" Half a century ago does NOT include World Wars I and II. SANDF did NOT exist until 1994. There was NO SANDF existing in World War era. Nigeria too won her World War I battles against mighty Germany and we won again in World War II against mighty Japan. However, we are talking modern war here and I said NA + NAF + NN have won ALL their wars in modern history from half a century ago. In the last 50 years or half a century of modern wars starting with Vietnam war era of jet fighters and missiles, South Africa has NOT won any war.....SADF-SANDF lost every war to Cuba, Seleka rebels, and Rhino poachers SANDF = FAILURE MAGNETS = CRY BABIES . 2 Likes |

patches689: Ethiopia and Eritrea just fought a year 2000 air to air war with BVR missiles. There is threat of air to air war in Ukraine today as NATO jets fly along Russian borders and Russian lonjg range jet bombers fly around North American borders and shadow 'intercepted' by NATO jet fighters as at today 2015. Fact is, no navy vs navy threat has existed in the last 30 years. Nigerian navy reserves NNS Aradu for such purpose if it happens . |

agaugust: "SANDF has NOT won any war, South Africa has NEVER won any war in it's [b]military history. !" Can you read English language, re.tarded Nigerian Man!! Read what you posted in bold!! Any way.....we defeated Angolan and Cuban Forces with Modern soviet equipment! "SADF-SANDF lost every war to Cuba, Seleka rebels, and Rhino poachers" 1. We soundly defeated Cuban and Angolan forces! Proved over and over on this thread! 2. CAR mission was not a war,and we defeated Seleka 40:1,and did not fail any of our objectives! 3. Again not a war, and poaching is not a SANDF problem its a SAN parks problem. |

agaugust: UDF = SADF = SANDF You said we have never won a war in our military history - this is wrong You didnt fight any germans in WW1 and your men were common labourers in WW2 In the last 50 years Nigeria has never fought anyone with jet fighters and missiles. Really? Last I checked we won all 35 major battles against the Cubans and they ended up agreeing to our demands. That doesnt sound like a loss. |

Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by andrewza: 1:27pm On Apr 14, 2015 |
