You need to lay off Wiki sometimes, Mr fakeman.


"None of the bunker’s survivors heard the shot that killed Hitler. At 15.15 on April 30th, Bormann, Goebbels, Heinz Linge, Hitler’s valet, Otto Gunshce and Artur Axmann, Head of the Hitler Youth, entered Hitler’s sitting room. Gunsche and Linge wrapped the body of Hitler in a blanket and carried it to the Reich Chancellery garden. Eva Braun’s body was also carried up and laid next to Hitler’s. Both bodies were laid near to the bunker’s exit. The bodies were drenched in petrol and set alight. Both Bormann and Goebbels watched this. Goebbels later committed suicide. Bormann disappeared and his body was never found, sparking off rumours that he managed somehow to flee to South America."

"Testing and the future of Otomat :

There is no known combat use of Otomat but there were many tests, like the one in 1987, when a Venezuelan Lupo frigate hit an old US destroyer used as target at 122 km, leaving a 6 m hole in it.[10] Flight took a little over than 400 seconds. In another example at least 8 missiles were bought by US Navy: thanks to a new evasive, final maneuver, the majority of these weapons, called LRAT (Long Range Attack Target) penetrated inside the formidable missile defenses of US ships. All in all, this missile was and is a very powerful weapon."

my friend in USA is named Miguel and a Hispanic/Latino.

welcome on board. you can be a neutral judge or neutral opinion giver....nobody is your friend or foe...so you could judge peoples comments fairly and much better.

in case you hang around...next 10 days i am simulating a detailed real live combat of south african naval attack on nigeria with nigeria defending from the air and sea (the land defense was posted on page 236).

also later, i will simulate a nigerian naval attack on south africa...surprises will be seen, and i hope people identify the weaknesses in their military defenses and go talk to their country's ministers for defense about it, instead of pretending that those great weaknesses are not existing. to be fore-warned is to be fore-armed angry

Henry120:

I'm only going to give you this attention once you twerp. The personnel of nigerian intelligence services are well trained, better trained than her south african counter-parts. The nigerian DSS is the best intelligence agency in africa. However training alone cannot win you a war, you need to have money, experience, equipment and expertise, all of these in there requisite numbers.

Look at the attack on the naval yard in washington D.C this past few days, would you say it's a lack of training that led to the avoidable loss of life?

Training again is holistic. There is not a single version of training. Admitting that there are shortfalls isn't a sign of weakness. It shows that you are aware of your areas of strength and are prepared to grow your area of shortfalls, and not live in a delusional state like you south africans.
You are the only Nigerians who is not Egostical ,because when I pointed out that shortcomings most Nigerians did not agree with me,Personnal I wish them to come on top of these challenge yes you can't kill an ideology but at least if the boys can have the ability to identify the moles in the Nigerian army half of their battle will be won

You are crazy, I told you that Umkhonto marry the target by locking into it like a magnet. It is fully capable of stopping any kind of missile, sea skemming or not, umkhonto is designed to follow the target at any direction. Denel does not claim, they test their weapon. Did you think that Denel engineers never had the so called sea skemming type of anti-ship missiles on their minds when they designed the defence system of their valour-class? The Umkhonto missiles were not designed to attack but to provide an all round defence against any type of missile.

Professor @Agaugust your claims are outdated and Denel's engineers are more clever than you are, they have already thought about that long time and wouldn't dare to provide SANDF with an obsolete defence system. I know that you find it hard to believe, but Umkhonto is designed as everything in one. Have you ever heard of all in one before? Example of that would be your i-phone which is a combination of computer, calculator, GPS, phone, MP3 player, etc. You can buy all that separately isn't ?

Umkhonto missile is one of its kind and there are only few of that type in the whole world. It has characteristics of combination of defence missiles in one and so there is no need for a separate defence missile which does a specific assignment like anti ship missile-missile as you preferred it to be. Give yourself time and research about Umkhonto than making unfounded statements as if you were the one who invented it.

"Flight

At this time the auto-pilot and the altimeter allow holding the right directions to the target. The Otomat missile flies at around 1,000 km/h controlled with the four cross winglets in the aft, behind the main fixed wings to sustain the weapon.

While the missiles flies it receive the input at mid-course, then, at only 6 km from the target activates the onboard radar to reduce reaction time from the target, with Otomats two dimensional radar system, the weapon simply continues to fly to the ship, with the altitude falling from 20m to 2m"

[size=16pt]Valour frigate defence is weak...experts reveal[/size]



"The South African Denel Umkhonto-IR is a short-range (12km) anti-aircraft missile, which is still in its development stage, having been "tested only to a limited extent" , while "several navies and air forces already have supersonic anti-ship missiles. How the Umkhonto will deal with these is not known."


The frigates can have their capacity doubled to 32 Umkhontos, but will probably carry only eight missiles and so "can easily be swamped by saturation attack *7"

Also, after a missile has been fired, empty launch canisters have to be removed from their silos, but: "As far as can be determined, this cannot be done by the Valour-class at sea, so reloading will have to be done alongside in habour port or require a replenishment vessel, as a depot ship, in calm seas".

Heitman admitted the missiles might have difficulty intercepting supersonic assaults.

He added that no navy was able to reload its vertically launched anti-aircraft missiles at sea.

We do not claim that ancient SAM system cannot shoot down aircrafts. Their primary role is to shoot down low flying fighter jets. Our assertion was that the world has now moved so fast that they have developed technology to jam the system used by those SAMs. The ancient SAM have now attracted more disadvantages than advantages than before and will only make you vulnerable to use such air defence system against any country flying 4th generation fighters. They might even demolish your air defence system before you could even shoot down one of the enermy's fighters. I don't think anyone would want to rely on luck to shoot down enemy's fighters rather is better to upgrade your system to match the enemy's firepower and give them a good run for their money.

"We used a little innovation to update our 1960s-vintage SAMs to detect the Nighthawk," Dani said. He declined to discuss specifics, saying the exact nature of the modification to the warhead's guidance system remains a military secret.

It involved "electromagnetic waves," was all that Dani — who now owns a small bakery in this sleepy village just north of Belgrade — would divulge.

You see that is where you are going wrong. The umkhonto is one of the latest technology and that America have never tested it against Umkhonto. I say again, Umkhonto is one of its kind and there are only few of such type in the whole world. Umkhonto is fully capable to stop any kind of anti-ship missiles be it sea skemming or not. Do you even know that Exocet is one of the best anti-ship missiles in the world, no wonder the US is even planning to procure them and have been testing them recently. There is nothing special about otomat that makes it invincible, unless you are only playing hard to believe like Thomas in the bible.
