But these info does not come from one source various news angencies from within Naija reported about it and please tell me why I took more than four days before your army admitted that there was a battle between them and BH I call it cover-up

no country at war is ever in a hurry to publish battlefield reports in civilian newspapers. if you dont know the meaning of the word 'military' , then go create a nairaland police thread and open your basket mouth there cheesy

go back to pages 280 of this thread....4 new stealth warships are under construction for nigerian navy to arrive from next year...south africa too has only 4 new stealth warships...so what is the difference ? cheesy

.
The South African Navy has four stealth warships plus a force multiplier in the form of 3 submarines. In fact we are the only country in sub-Saharan africa to own submarines. With a supply ship SAS Drakenburg,meaning our warships can "turn up" anywhere in Africa.

only a foolish country like south africa will publish full details of its home made weapons ranges and all technical data on free public internet for its enemies to read and use against it. nigeria is not the fool, south africa is...i see all DENEL weapons limits and weaknesses on public internet...fools of soweto cheesy

the source clearly says the information you are hungry for is already secret/classified by nigeria, no government official will publish all nigerian Epe missile details on internet to satisfy 3 or 4 south african buffoons who are already having epilepsy in fear of nigerian made missiles being upgraded rapidly in all technical capabilities cheesy


south africa's only anti-aircraft missile is Starstreak and its maximum altitude/ceiling is ONLY 1km, a very bad imported missile that CANNOT defend south african army against and ordinary Mi-35 Hind helicopter flying at 2km altitude and killing all south african soldiers and amoured vehicles on the ground....South Africa has a very poor air defense...Britain sold you a police/anti-Rhino poacher level air defense weapon...FACT !!!!!

post the altitude/ceiling limit of your foolish velocity Starstreak missile with source, mine is below...ONLY 1km...foolish south african buffoons cheesy

Missile range: Minimum 1500m (1.5km), maximum 5500m (5.5km)
Flight time: 8 seconds
Guidance: Semi-automatic, line of sight, beam riding
Time into action: SP - less than 10 seconds to 10 minutes. LML - 2 minutes. Single missile - less than 10 seconds
Ceiling: 1000m (1km)
Missile speed: Mach 3

so america, turky, germany, france, china, uk extra are all foolish only countries like north korea, iran, nigeria extra are smart? yes nigerian logic is just great.

only the detials were posted 3km in hight. that is a detail

so the umkhonto is a sandf SAM. And the starstreak can achieve 5km range and 1km in alltuided, so 4km range gives how much alltuide? the starstreak is a vshord and the umkhonto is a shord. VSHORD are small and can be used in confied spaces. of course has a Fool you dont under stand that.

This your comment is s,tupid because you are raising issues about now defunct apartheid regime which did not have any support of the people it governed. Everybody in the country and including a small portion of white people were against the apartheid government. The situation was The government vs the people and how will you expect the government to win in that case because it is the people who make the government.

Moreover, the ANC was not a terrorist organisation because they never killed people intentionally and instead fought for their freedom. The use of the word terrorist was coined by apartheid government to sabotage the ANC against the likes of the US and UK until such strategy could not work for them anymore. The truth has its way of coming out and instead both countries called upon ANC to apologise and offered them assylum and educated them for free. Most ANC members were educated in both the US and UK.

Who is that guy that is always telling you such lies. South Africa has a plan to develop locally made missiles to use on all its war ships. Algeria has even recently ordered the same valour type ships from Germany and have asked SA to them with the armament. Your navy is only much stronger on brown water and hopefully not on blue seas.

ANC were not a terrorist group but a political party which were denied their right to represent their people in a free and fair elections. Terrorists are people who go about killing people intentionally to achieve their own narrow objectives. The US has even admitted that the ANC was not a terrorist group and squarely put their blames on the apartheid government for misleading them. Margaret Thatcher has even admitted to that when she first met Madiba after his release from prison. The ANC only rebelled the government, that's all.

The first three regions have their areas of superiority.some more advanced in naval combat,another air defence,another manpower and guerilla war.the last region-East,its only equipped for homeland defence.don't think it can withstand external aggression.

Is it that other countries in Africa do not have a platform on which they can express themselves? Or is it that they do not have an internet culture?

I have looked everywhere to find a very active forum of other African countries where their nationals engage innational discuss but i cannot find any. Not even SA has what we have here in NL.

Just take a look around NL and you will come to see how active we are online. Just by being on this website, you can have a very good idea of what Naija is all about! The hotter the topic, the more topical that issue is to us in real life. By being on this forum, you can get an idea of how little informed, moderately informed and how very well informed Nigerians are on several issues. This is not the case with other African countries including SA.

You are indeed suffering from a cracked skull. That number of missiles are what we call interim measures that our defence has taken concerning the procurement of foreign missiles and is not permanent. Denel has a programme in place of replacing all foreign procured missiles and develop their own. Nigerias 40 units of otomat is undoubtedly still very small to rely on, no wonder Nigeria does not fire any missiles in practice. In general SA has more missiles than Nigeria, that's why every now and then we fire missiles during combat readiness training. Do you even know that Mokopa has own version of Anti-ship missiles which Denel want to advance even further.

It is very apparent that you are not on times with the defence industries in South Africa because SA is working towards becoming self-sufficient in missile technology and does not even have any plans to procure any missiles from anyone in future. Missiles are very expensive and could harm the pockets of any country to procure them on large quantities, that why you cannot even see a single missile being fired in Nigeria. Only a single unit of it could cost upto N25 million and Nigeria is not yet ready to waste all that.

There are only three countries which have a history of firing missiles in training in the whole of Africa, and that's Egypt, South Africa and Algeria. Nigeria is not there my friend, you can even ask your generals.
Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by gst101: 12:42pm On Sep 19, 2013
MiguelMi6: Strongest military in africa:it has to be a tie between the ruling powers of each region-Egypt(North),Nigeria(West),SA(south africa),kenya or Uganda(East).
The first three regions have their areas of superiority.some more advanced in naval combat,another air defence,another manpower and guerilla war.the last region-East,its only equipped for homeland defence.don't think it can withstand external aggression.

i dont think any of the countries in East Africa is in the game. BTW, where are you from?
