Fighter Pilot: The new denel bateleur UAV:

Mike..ZA:
NO NO!! You deal with it igbo boy. Boko Haram is destroying your attack helicopters while SAAF's helos are making a change in the DRC. NO bombings SA. In other news read this quote "
Of course the 4,000MW now being generated
for Nigeria's population of 150 million is still far
too low. In contrast, Brazil generates 100,000MW
of grid-based power for 201 million and South
Africa generates 40,000MW for 50 million."

Fighter Pilot:

We have many drones in SAAF such that i even lost their number. We have plenty more which can double 12 in many times.

chris365:

Yes. The drone SANDF does not have the money to acquire from rebel.

CraigB:

Many have tried. Many have failed.

You aren't the first one to utter those words. In the end, the truth is hard to ignore.

And there's only one truth: the self-aggrandising naai-gerians have a failed ragtag thing for a military.

The truth shall keep being said.

It was fun when Seleka was the order of the day here. You are newcomer. A laggard on the thread. You know nothing.

NaijaPikinGidi:

We could as well say we have many drones! But the question to you (which apparently you are struggling to answer) is HOW MANY more than 12 UAVs does SANDF have operationally? Just give an answer and show reasonable/reliable proof. Otherwise anyone can make unsubstatiable and fraudulent claims like you.

chris365:

Transmittion is what delivers power to the people. Not just capacity generated. How come up to 5 million south Africans still have never seen light before.

and what do you think has been causing your electricity crises recently.

Nigeria generates 4000MW yet delivers power to more than 40 million people. that is almost the same amount SA is gives power with 40000MW.
Tell me the difference.

Fighter Pilot:

According to the law in South Africa, what belongs to Denel belongs to SANDF during war and distress. The local defence has every rights to utiilise whatever Denel has in stock during attack by the enermy to achieve victory.

Fighter Pilot:


Bwahahahahahahaha!!! We all know that Nigeria does not have the capability of buying nor even developing UAV's. Such a technology is still new in Nigeria, while SA has been using it for the past 20 years and not only utilising it, but also manufacturing it on large scale. Private citizens in South Africa even have drones and some have even formed clubs to compete with them.

NaijaPikinGidi:

Shut the eff up!! What law? Are you mad? Don't start what you can't finish! Point to the law young man! DENEL and SANDF are two different entities that must survive based on their individual commercial turnovers or fiscal budgetary allocations each year! SANDF will use products/weapons based on COD or on a firm articulated contractual basis! Stop feeding yourself with more delusions.

rka1:

There is no state machinery stopping journalists otherwise they would all be rounded up and be in prison. There is freedom of the press.
You are talking about a largely illiterate section of the community telling journalists they have seen APCs apparently stolen from the army (were they there when it was stolen?) and that they saw bodies in uniform (BH were dressed in Air Force Camo) which automatically translates to army soldiers?

Pull the other one.

DictatorZAR:

Do you have short memory did you forget that months ago your beloved president ordered the arrest of a journalist who supposedly wrote a damning "false" report.

By the way can you please go check on your country and the list of nations with regards to press freedom, before you spew garbage.

Fighter Pilot:

Firstly can you prove to me that you have 12 operational UAV's.

kwame nkria: @Agaust
YOU SO OLD SCHOOL EVERYONE KNOWS THAT TOWNSHIPS WERE MEANT FOR ALL NON WHITES(Blacks,Indians,coloureds and Malays).

agaugust:

make all the noise you want like a police man chasing armed robbers.

listen to military tactics, south africa has NO weapon that can challenge NNS Aradu, its Otomat anti-ship missile range is double of south african Exocet missiles. Aradu's Aspide anti-aircraft missile is 75km range and will shoot down the whole south african air force Gripen and Hawk jets even before they come close. Nigeria has BVR missiles on Aradu, south africa has no BVR or stand-off missile, FACT !!!

only south african submarines can threaten Aradu, but she has a brand new and modern American submarine detector sonar plus anti-submarine torpedoes, and when our Lynx anti-submarine helicopters come back from upgrade in march 2014 plus our brand new stealth warships, all south african submarines will be in danger, a 50-50 battle, only God knows who will win in open international sea, but close in nigerian waters EEZ, south african navy will be sunk down to meet mammy water at sea bottom.

your dead soweto navy sailors' spirits can marry fine mammy water if they wish, she is africa's most beautiful mermaid

Henry120: The presidency through the Office of the National
Security Adviser (NSA) has opened a crisis management
room to enable President Goodluck Jonathan respond to
disasters and other security challenges from any part of
the world.

It is headed by the director, presidential
communication, Command and Control Centre (PC4),
Gen. T.T. Waya.

The centre is equipped with audio and video facilities
that enhance communication between and among all
stakeholders.

NSA’s special adviser on media, Karounwi Adekunle told
LEADERSHIP Weekend yesterday that, on assumption
of office, the NSA (Col. Sambo Dasuki) felt the need to
create a rallying point for the president and his strategic
aides.

“Prior to this, there was no control point for crisis
management and emergency.To put it modestly, no clear picture of operation. When the NIGCOMSAT infrastructure was de-orbited, crisis management system collapsed,” he stated.

He said though the project was initiated by the late
NSA, Gen. Andrew Azazi, Dasuki built it with a state-of-
the-art infrastructure that was consistent with the
British Cabinet Office (COBR) and the American
Situation Room, adding that work on it commenced in
December last year.

Noting that work started principally with civil
infrastructure and ICT components, Adekunle added
that much time was spent on construction due to its
complex nature to enable real-time information with
secure audio and data video clips.

“Project was completed in August 2013 and
commissioned by President Jonathan on September 2,
2013 for which the NSA was chief host and Brig-Gen.
T.T. Waya (rtd), director, presidential communication,
Command and Control Centre (PC4), was host. This
crisis management centre would enable the president
and his strategic aides to arrive at informed decisions in
accordance with global best practices,” he explained.

On the advantages of the centre, he said it would
“enable real-time communication by audio and video
data communication between and within stakeholders.
This is an area the NSA is very much interested in”.
It would also enable table-top and simulation exercises,
he added.

“The facilities underscore the importance of giving the
president a clear view of any crisis, be it natural or
human-induced.

The capability of forecasting on the direction and
outcome of crisis in future, such as drought, famine …
so that the country can make adequate preparation.

“Strategic stakeholders, ministers, heads of security
agencies can ask for footages and other relevant
information.

It is quite instructive to note that, with these facilities,
the president has the capacity to contain or mitigate
disasters anywhere he is,” he said.

Mike..ZA:
40 million out 150 million? Nigeria is a joke,NO you're a joke. You're probably using a candle right now to light up your house,cause of power cuts. What's causing Nigeria's electricity crises? POOR PLANNING.

NaijaPikinGidi:

Shut the eff up!! What law? Are you mad? Don't start what you can't finish! Point to the law young man! DENEL and SANDF are two different entities that must survive based on their individual commercial turnovers or fiscal budgetary allocations each year! SANDF will use products/weapons based on COD or on a firm articulated contractual basis! Stop feeding yourself with more delusions.

Fighter Pilot:

I already told him that SA with 45000MW is still experiencing power shadding and now i wanted him to tell me how the hell on earth can 4000MW provide electricity to more than 40 million people, unless of course they use it only for lighting which is still impossible. No wonder there are no any electronic gates in Nigeria. They are still utilising gate man even to this age who manually opens and close the gate, unlike in SA where gates are eletronically operated.

NaijaPikinGidi:

Tell that to yourselves! Story-stoooooory ...

chris365:

Not a threat yet killing your soldiers like chicken. they have even lost a helicopter in the process.

You are probably facing another kind of insurgency you are ignorant of.

Mike..ZA:
Shut UP!!! No one got time for this. All eyes are on the SANDF Operation Uxolo: 11 000 troops the entire 2 squadron has been activated + 85 combat school. The Rooivalks + A109s are doing runs between Pretoria and johannesburg.......... WHO SAID SAAF HAS 6 PILOTS AGAIN??
