A jet that was used to shoot down a MIG-21,Nigeria still flies a copy of this jet. It even shoot down MI-24 helicopters which Nigeria flies. South Africa didn't enjoy air superiority cause of the appearance of the MIG-23,but fought well wiping out entire battalions and brigades. SA artillery crews showing how well trained they were camouflaged their G5 and G6 guns,using the "shoot and scoot" tactic avoided air strikes destroying their equipment. NO missile was ever shoot against a Nigerian jet.


your long story is full of lies. anyway, south africa was defeated in that war by tiny cuba, read .....

Yes,they hard landed a single Rooivalk.

But your Nigerian lagos,marijuana,crack smoking pilots crashed three interceptor jets F-7.



south african air force air crash history is far worse than that of nigeria, you have crashed every jet fighter your air force ever purchases.

reason why your Gripen and Hawk jets have not crashed is because you hardly fly them, most are frozen in storage or grounded.

over 120 south african air force jet fighters crashed in 50 years including foolish mid-air jet to jet head on collisions in broad day light.


are south african pilots blind like bats ? is it only at night your air force pilots can see ?

At least 56 members of the terrorist organisation, Boko Haram, have
been killed in Nigeria’s northeast after soldiers launched an air and
ground attack on the terrorists’ hideout on Saturday, the military said.
The acting spokesman of the 7 Division of the Nigeria Army, Aliyu
Danja, said in a statement that the military operations took place on
December 28; and also involved the destruction of the terrorist’s
weapons, equipment and vehicles.
Mr. Danja’s statement said, “The troops of the 7 Division Nigerian
Army supported by the Nigerian Air force launched an intense attack on
Boko Haram elements in Alfa general area of Bama Local Government,
killing 56 insurgents while two soldier were wounded in the operations.”
The Army said the attack was part of the ongoing operations conducted
by the military to ensure a peaceful Christmas and New Year
celebrations in Borno State.
“The General officer Commanding 7 Division of the Nigerian Army
Major General Obidah Ethan felicitates with good people of Borno
State and urged them to assist the military with useful information,”
Mr. Danja, whose statement was corroborated in a separate one by the
defence headquarters, said.
In a similar development, the defence headquarters said troops of the
Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) foiled an attempt by
terrorists who were massing up on an island on Lake Chad with a view
to carrying out an attack on some Nigerian communities.
Seven of the terrorists died while others fleeing in different direction
towards Niger and Chad Republic are being trailed by troops.The
spokesperson of the Nigerian military, Chris Olukolade, said some
wounded terrorists were seen paddling away towards Chad Republic in a
canoe.
“Intelligence reports have confirmed that some of the wounded
terrorists were seen in a canoe paddling towards Tumbun Telkandam in
Chad Republic,” Mr. Olukolade, a Major General, said.
A state of emergency is currently on in Borno State (as well as
Adamawa and Yobe) as the military tries to dislodge the outlawed Boko
Haram.

Embrace your reputation as the military that let terrorists overrun its base, in its home country, at the peak of the most important mission in the military's existence, this side of history. A mission for the survival of the nation. Losers, who clearly "is mos vas in die slaap" at the wheel. cry

No amount of propaganda will change this.

show us a list form a reliable source that counted all the M23 Rebel weapons and armoury you just listed above. show us proof and the numbers of those weapons, plus their operational capability and combat readiness of the 'miraculous' equipment you just claimed for M23 Rebels.

Boko Haram is better equipped than M23 Rebels, and better fighters. Boko Haram fired anti-aircraft guns on nigerian Alpha Jets and Mi-35 Hind helicopters, M23 Rebels were dunce dumbo's that never fired a single shot against all UN Mi-35 helicopters gunships of India and Ukraines air forces that have been attacking M23 for over a year now....M23 is poorly armed.

By the way, UN especially Ukraine and Indian air forces helicopter gunships the Mi-35 Hinds plus Tanzanian Army D-30 Artillery already cut off the head and life of M23 before South African helicopters, artillery, or soldiers ever came to Congo DRC combat zone to fire one single shot, your military was called in to join the fight against a half dead M23 rebel group.

did i hear you say south africa fought conventional warfare against M23 rebels ? you are mad and all your village is mad !

you that posted here few months a go that Nigeria has never fought any conventional war because Biafra is just a rebel force.

Biafra has over 100,000 soldiers, M23 has about 5,000 soldiers.

Biafra had an air force with warplanes from Super Tucano type of COIN attack aircraft to huge B-26 Invader Bombers, and European ex-airforce pilots from Sweden and other European countries fly Biafran air force war planes bombing nigeria regularly.

M23 rebels have no single aircraft.

now you say Biafra war is not conventional war while M23 Rebels war in Congo is conventional war.

nigeria fought the biggest conventional war ever in african history.

now i know you are a complete mad man that cannot be cured, the dada hair on your head will grow back in one week even if the psychiatrist should cut it, because you are really mad, i mean mad !!!

And then you foôlishly shout at the top of your voice - and claim that Boko Haram are better equipped. Based on what? You have just admitted that you know nothing about M23's arms. You have no point of reference.

One battalion of Nigerian Bofors F-77B artillery will knock out all Cameroonian army vehicles as they have no single battle Tank.

Niger Delta m.ilitants re-grouping will sourround, outnumber, and defeat the entire Cameroonian army.

What's the combat radius of the F7 jet? How many AAM it carries?. Don't be ignorant and arrogant here you poes. Nigeria should get a REAL fighter jet,the F7 jet is for power countries like Zimbabwe,Namibia and Tanzania not for a regional power. Yes,you can operate it but you must have other fighters like Egypt,Sudan,Pakistan and your masters China are doing. As 2014 approaches SAAF must be happy that its AAM stocks will be replenished by the advanced 5th generation A-Darter missile.

Now here's definition of conventional warfare:

"Conventional warfare is a form of warfare
conducted by using conventional military
weapons and battlefield tactics between two or

. The forces
on each side are well-defined, and fight using

since your own definition above says conventional warfare is between two states/nations, then is M23 Rebel force a nation ?

Biafra is a nation with a head of state, national currency, international recognition by France, South Africa, Israel, and many others, a separate economy, banking sector, university, law/legal system and judiciary, etc.

now you have finally shot yourself in the foot on the issue of nigeria not having ever fought a conventional war, because Biafran war qualifies, but M23 war does NOT qualify as conventional.

see. mad man, Biafra will wipe out M23 rebels in 6 hours, i mean six hours of battle from 8 AM to 2 PM, you hear me ? fool !
