you really a dumbo, nigeria has about 30 combat helicopters (M-24 Hind, Mi-35 Hind, Mi-171s Terminator Armed version, AW 109 LUH Armed version) and south africa has only 11 Rooivalks

...and most of your huge military budget is spent paying fat salaries to fat bellied soweto soldiers who dont want to fight and die in any war...only want to get monthly salries

reason they refused to go back to C.A.R Bangui and challenge Seleka rebels teenagers who disgraced South Africa's army for the world to see

Nigeria does not have that wish list on its weapon inventory, chief. Only 4 old hinds gunships are currently rocking their sky. Whatever appears on sipri does not mean a country made an actual purchase, I hope you teach that to your misinformed beegeagle.

chris365:

honestly. even an !diot will put up a better argument than you.

are we talking about foreign policy failures or military combat effectiveness and experience? any f00l would know there's a difference.
you are just mumbling from on angle to another like a parrot without an objective.

i'm not sure you are equipped to argue foreign policy with me cos you'll end up running in circles like a confused dog as you are doing right now.

Your arguments have become shorter. Gone is the bravado. Something about facts complicating your life somewhat?

Now - focus. I'll happily ignore all the idïotic fluff.

Put your your cap on, assuming that's even remotely possible.

Now, thread laggard, go back on this thread and happily read why Naai-gerians have been arguing that they are a great military. Foreign policy!

"Oh, we were in Liberia!"

"Oh, we were in Somalia"

"Oh this and that in Africa"

Foreign policy. The argument is certainly not equipment, now is it? We all know your equipment is "dark ages" stuff. So, spare us the circus on this particular issue.

Now, focus, my little primate. What happened to your military foreign policy? Oh, that? It fell apart in Mali and Darfur and will in that state of failure for the next 10 years, at least.

You are stuck with Boko haram because you lack the brains to solve that issue. You also have no military wherewithal to solve that issue. You are failing. Failing at home and failing abroad. Your military couldn't even invade Benin today. Not if you tried!

And there's a reason why nations are called barbarians. Senseless wars. What will your Boko haram wars bring you? Nothing but backwardness. South Africa's being in the DRC has brought us the Inga deal. Tanzania will be getting a deal of their own soon. Foreign policy and war go hand in hand, unless you are from Naai-geria, I guess .

Now, tell us - why should we not rank you below Lesotho?

No fluff now...

Give it your best shot, IQ slightly less than average being acceptable in your case.

It doesn't matter, Nigeria has no such wish list on their inventory. Sipri mainly highlights orders made irrespective of whether they were successful or not. An order does not mean is a successful transaction. You are making a fool of yourself, you will wait and wait and wait.

Over 40 suspected Boko Haram members killed in Borno
MAIDUGURI - More than 40 suspected Boko Haram Islamist sect members were Wednesday killed in a Military raid involving air strikes and ground troops of the 7 Division, Nigerian Army in Bita village area along Damboa-Gwoza road of Borno state.

It would be recalled that 12 days ago, over 20 suspected terrorists were reportedly killed in the late hours of Friday 15th November, 2015, by the troops of the Division in Bita village, while several others escaped when the military laid an offensive attack in one of the Boko Haram hideouts in the area, as confirmed to Journalists by the Spokesman of the Division, Colonel Mohammed Dole.

Bita is a village which harbours stronghold camps of Boko Haram terrorists located 32 kilometres west of Gwoza. While Gwoza town is about 135 kilometres away from Maiduguri, the state capital which had witnessed series of attacks and killings in recent times.

oh ! if that is your wish, then all south african nmilitary weapons imported and quoted as delivered by SIPRI ORD database, are hereby cancelled too and labelled as non-existent, and that includes all the remaining Exocet missiles on your valour frigates apart from the 5 you test firef, there is none left.

also, all the SIPRI quoted 25 IRIS-T missiles on your Gripen jets will be deemed as only 6 units delivered for the 6 Gripen jets that have qualified pilots.

same for your submarine torpedoes and starstreak anti-aircraft missiles, also your Hawk jets too are not up to 24 units, only 8 Hawks....get it ?

The igirigi was designed and rendered in Nigeria for the military by chronos studios.

EDIT: i just noticed the name of the studio on the picture

agaugust:

SAS Drakensberg of south african navy is a suppy ship with no single missile to defend itself. NNS ARADU will sink it as target practice.

it was the only ship you had in ivory coast at that time. if we sink it, we prepare for war. nigerian spy satellites will see any south african Valour frigate before they reach nigeria from your 5,000km away naval base, and ATR-42 Surveyor of NAF is going to detect your whole navy from 330km away.

south africa will not be able to torpedo NNS ARADU, she will be safe in harbour because south african submarines CANNOT reach nigerian waters 5,000km away without surfacing or snorkeling and nigerian satellites and ATR-42 surveyor master of the ocean will see your submarines coming, then NNS ARADU withdraws into safe harbour sourrounded by anti-submarine and anti-frogmen nets and mines.

south african navy Type 209 submarine has only a submerged range of 740km and nigeria is 5,000km away.

this is the weakness of south african navy submarines i said i have seen and i will post, the naval blockade if attempted will be a total disaster leading to the wiping out of south africa's expensive but not so effective naval power.

then nigeria will invade south africa and take your homeland !

.

Ever heard about Recces? South African special forces?. Submarines won't be "docked" at your ports to sink your NNS Arandu,just like that Russian ship in Angola. SANDF special forces(explosive experts) will exist the submarine(covert insertion) from a safe distance the last thing your admirals will be hearing in Abuja is that Aradu has sunk after a loud explosion.

agaugust:

did your seeker drone make you win the war in angola ? NO

ordinary nigerian Type 90 computerized anti-aircraft guns with 6.5km range will shoot down all south african drones, and in few minutes you have no drones flying any more

south africa has ZERO air superiority over nigeria, F-7 jet missile range and south african Gripen jet range are both eqaul and within visual range of each other. so where is the air superiority ? fool

ATR-42 Surveyor will be operating with its 330km range radar from nigerian side of the battle frontline, Gripen jet missile range is only 25km, and F-7 jets will escort to protect the NAF ATR-42, like this photo shows you....

.

Your ATR-42 is a maritime surveillance aircraft. Nigeria can't a afford to lose surveillance in the sea,where South Africa is powerful with stealth Frigates and submarine. South Africa has air superiority over Nigeria cause SAAF can deploy 12 fighter jets while some are still available for training and integrating new weapon systems. SAAF has an EW capability and Nigeria doesn't. How many F7 will be deployed at sea? How many F7 will deployed at the field to intercept ground bombings by the SAAF Hawk lead in fighter?. How many F7 will deployed to carry out air strikes on SA positions?. How many F7 will be deployed to carry out Recce missions?..

agaugust:

Tanzania has 12 old 1980 version F-7A jets, the only modern version they have is F-7MG of 2011 new version and 6 units only.

Tanzanian F-7 jets have no ultra-modern PL-9C missiles of nigerian F-7 jets, so how do you rate them higher ?

tell me, are you a military man , policeman, or a just civilian who operates a beer palour or wine bar ?

i cannot avoid laughing at your military comments, really cracks my ribs like basket mouth and papa ajasco

Nigeria has the most expensive, most powerful and best loaded F-7 jet in the world at $15 million each for our 12 units.

Tanzania took delivery of new J-7G. Read what the link says about OLD F7s. Are you still laughing Igbo boy!!! AGAIN MIKE..ZA is hitting your blue balls!!! LINK BELOW http://itweb.co.za/mobilesite/defenceweb/home/item_id-32804/

Who's protected between a crew operating the G6 and crew operating the Bofors? Never forgetting the G5. Your other artillery have the range of 29 km or lesser. Which guns can be easily spotted? You guess it right the Bofors!!! Nigeria can't fight South Africa in the opened African savannah. South Africa development nuclear weapons before Nigerians' evolved to have a brain. WE ALREADY HAVE A NUCLEAR POWER STATION!!!!

agaugust:

i thought you that truth, say thank you sir. mister fake 70km range G-6 artillery that has only a 38km range shell

The SANDF has a lot of 155mm munitions. Except the chemical and insertion shells. The SANDF uses the vulture drone to direct and correct artillery fire,any target on the vulture's cameras will be destroyed. Nigeria lacks that capability.

show us source that says a black south africa navy sailor sank a german submarine. show us now

german u-boats sank several south african warships in world war II.

south africa submarine story in modern times is a war game of NATO fooling soweto :



the south african navy submarine was used to target 5 old outdated NATO warships and only 1 modern frigate



HOLLAND's naval ship is a 2005 technology stealth ship and is the only modern ship in the whole 6 ship NATO task force. Holland is one of the European countries with No sensible war experience in modern times, they avoid deadly combat.

the 5 other NATO navy ships are much older technology and close to their retirement age, they are :

USA navy ship is 1988 technology and now retired from a service
CANADA's navy ship is 1990 technology
PROTUGAL SICK BABY OF EUROPE's navy ship is 1991 technology
DENMARK navy's ships is 1981 technology and now retired from service
GERMANY's naval ship is an ordinary fuel storage tanker ship with 1977 technology

the SOUTH AFRICAN navy submarine is 2006 technology used against 5 outdated old warships with inferior technology


the NATO navies had better warships but did not bring them to south africa. also, no british, french, german or italian navy warship was present in the NATO force, and these are the 4 most powerful NATO countries in europe.

British navy stealth destroyer warship HMS Daring and US navy Arleigh Burke stealth destroyer warship have both been fully operational since 2006, a year before the so called defeat of NATO warships and they did not come to south africa then for the NATO war game.


nigerian navy too can use our 2012 Type 056 Stealth light frigate warship to missile target lock on that same american 1988 warship because it cannot see the nigeria stealth vessel built with modern stealth technology, then we come to nairaland and boast that nigeria navy defeated american warship !

The USA navy is weak against detecting diesel submarines. They had to lease the best in class(Gotland submarine from Sweden)y,to enhance their anti-submarine capability(diesel submarines).

how many south african army soldiers have died in wars or fire fights since the past 25 years ? only 15 killed by seleka

how does that make an whole army battle hardened ?

It is in our blood. In our rich military history. Our ancestors like warrior king Shaka Zulu,went to combat with lesser men that the enemy but came back to his kraal with more troops. In bush war,in CAR now the DRC as the descendants of this great warriors,we always go to war with lesser men but always manage to inflict heavy numbers on the enemy. We can't speak the same with Nigeria,how many casualties in last 25 years? You can't even tell,even your troops are treated abroad.

now go drink your own urine , you need natural cure therapy

You can't differ between the words battle and war. The biggest battle in Africa after World war 2 took place in Southern Africa. You already know which country was involved. Google it screen shoot the search results from your tablet,Laptop or smartphone and post them here. Show me where in your Biafran were modern Tanks,APCs,artillery,MRLS,armoured fighting vehicles,SAMs and jets were involved in a single high intensity battle.

what Force is battle hardened? SANDF? We can argue about the SADF but SANDF??!!! Pleeaaassseeee spare me,if you say Nigeria Armed forces were not in the second world war but our soldiers were then by the same logic The SANDF has no battle experience whatsoever except CAR where they had there noses rubbed on cow dung.The SADF is a different Kettle of Fish, but the SANDF. Spare me.The SADF(executive outcomes its remnants) is no more, they were disbanded and replaced with political(freedom fighters) appointments and you claim SADF thunder? .Your Army cant fight diddysquat.

. Officers commanding the SA army units are bush war veterans. The only difference between the SANDF and SADF is funding back then defence spending was at all high sitting at 4% of the GDP. Nigerians will be like DRC soldiers asking: White men fighting on the African continent for an African country?. Nigerians were taken to fight in Burma,The Nigerian army didn't fight in World War 2. Which Unit of the Nigerian army fought in WW2.

drag_on: Pictures of Nigeria Armed Forces in somalia 1991,where is the SANDF? Oh it did not exist. .
And they want to compare which is battle hardened.
