i wont repeat page 806 posts. your Umkhonto missile has a very limited altitude of only 10km and CANNOT harm any nigerian F-7 jet or Alpha jet flying at 12km altitude. weapons fight based on their technical limitations not based on the wideness your basket mouth

.

Flying at a altitude of 12km to target a stealth warship? Which has more than 50 decoys and other advanced EW kit?. Without any modern targeting pod like the lighting pod in SAAF's Gripens. Your F7 jet is a complete joke for a country like Nigeria to fly it as its main air superiority fighter.

Nigeria is not industrialised and is just a baby compared to SA in terms of any Industry, be it Auto-mobile and defence.

You people have been singing this same song for years now. Forgetting that industrialisation happens gradually.

We said we were building drones, you said the same thing. Now what happened? We launched a drone and more are to be buillt.

We said we are building an APC(igirigi), you sang the same song. What happened? We launched it and now it has been confirmed that proforce and DICON are mass producing.

We have produced warships and building a stealth warship (only country in Africa) etc...


Keep singing the "Nigeria is not industrialized" song while our industries gradually grow to over take yours the same way you argued that our economy will never be number one.

south african defence industry is only more advanced than nigeria in missiles, howitzer artillery, drones, and MRAPs.

nigerian defence industry has become more advanced than south africa in sea warfare because nigeria is building the first stealth warship built in africa now, along with our biggest naval ship building/dockyard in all africa.

for small arms, light armoured vehicles, spy equipment, we are almost equal as at now.

for advanced heavy weapons, both countries are importers NOT producers

.
Actually you're wrong let state more what South Africa defence industry can do and Nigeria's enable to do 1. Missiles 2. UAV 3. UCAV 4. Smart bombs 5. MRAPS 6. Maintains 7. Repair: DCD marine facility in Cape town is the largest ship repair yard in Africa 8.Advanced 155mm and 105mm howitzer shells 9. Mine detecting vehicles 10. Overhaul aircraft maintains and development.............Transferred technology doesn't mean your industry is advanced. You can't develop systems on your own,which would mean you're advanced................Spy equipment? Nigeria has no single Electronic warfare or electronic intelligence dedicated aircraft developed or fitted in Nigeria. South Africa companies install EW kits for the most advanced air forces in the world.......................South Africa imports because it would be costly to develop new systems like fighter jets from nothing. To show we are capable any weapon foreign system is fitted with South African made weapons,avionics and EW kits from the valour frigates to the Gripen multi-role fighter jets. I can't say the Badger cause it will be built in SA.........Development takes time and is costly but if needed South Africa has shown that it can develop anything from fighters to tanks. We can't say the same with Nigeria.

Nigerian stealth warships Type 056 is still being built and the full weapons are not yet known or disclosed, last month i posted here big news from south african defenseweb and beegeagle that nigeria has changed our stealth warships radars from Chinese to British.

the final selection of weapons on board the nigerian stealth warships are still being worked out, and is classified information until concluded.

for now NNS ARADU Otomat missiles 180km range will sink any warship Valour or Squalor of south african navy.

A corvette vessel is small and doesn't carry game charging weapons. Changing your Chinese radar is only normal cause China too relies on Europe for warship parts like engines and radar. And firing the Otomat missile will or never will guarantee a hit on the valour frigate cause it has many layers of protection from: stealth,EW jammers,modern radar,decoys,helicopter,modern SAM systems up to 16 or 32 umkhonto on each Frigate plus a close in weapon system which can put a wall of shells in front of any missile if detected and shred it into pieces..........................Besides a single old vessel can't or will never try to fight a modern stealth frigate escorted by a evasive diesel submarine.

Guy please just shut up already. Who told you Nigerian military does not service it's weapons andaterials? You are not in a Rambo movie you know!

Thats the problem we have with you south Africans. You are so ignorant and still believe only SA can do it all. Really myopic

You must have missed last year's Nigerian army day when army the army displayed it's artillery, tanks, APC's that were serviced by the army on home soil. (those equipments were deemed un serviceable before then)

The navy is expanding the dock yard to accommodate bigger ships. They have built ships. What makes you think they can't service and maintain them.

The airforce last year serviced about 10 (can't remember) alfa jets, F-7N1 and transport plane (C130) locally by air force engineers.

We also manufacture our light weapons, APC(igirigi and perforce), drones, bombs and grenades.

Stop being under the illusions that only SA has the capacity to maintain it's weapons.

I trully hope you pot belly generals and soldiers are not as dumb as you. Smh
Who helped Nigeria service her Alpha jets and C-130 planes?. I'm not saying Nigeria can't do a thing what I'm saying is WHAT NIGERIA DOES IN TERMS WEAPONS MANUFACTURE AND MAINTAINS SOUTH AFRICA DOES IT BETTER AND BIGGER.

Nigeria has no ELINT or EW plane. The ATR-42MP which it operates is a maritime surveillance or patrol aircraft. NO MINI AWAC!!!! EW kit doesn't mean it is a EW or ELINT plane. That equipment is for surveillance and patrol,it can't kind be used to guide your fighters during a dog fight. South Africa has the two EW and ELINT air systems (helicopters and plane) Here's perfect description of that plane. .en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATR_42 Now here's the profile of Nigeria's air force no mention of a EW or ELINT plane here.en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Air_Force South Africa has this capability---»en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_Air_Force.

Nigeria too has many defence industries, DICON, AFIT, BADEH AEROSPACE, PROFORCE, NIGERDOCK, and several others

DENEL and ARMCOR themselves dont carry weapons and go to fight war or do they ? manufacturing companies are not soldiers. Lol !!!

.
If needed SA engineers will man new weapons. They did so during the late phase of the boarder war in 88-89 with Ratel ZT3,when most soldiers never fired the Ingwe missile. South African companies are currently doing a lot of mine clearing in countries like Angola and the DRC.

DICON manufactures tens of thousands of assault rifles, GPMG machine guns, bullet proof vests, Rocket Propelled Grenade Launchers, ammunitions/ordnance, and many hundreds of 81mm Mortar artillery and many hundreds of Amoured personnel Carriers especially STEYR 4K-7FA, they also up-armour and up-gun hundreds of Pinzgauer vehicles.

NIGERDOCK up-guns hundreds of nigerian navy gun boats including our stealth combat catamarans.

nigeria has grown bigger than most nigerians even know, so i dont blame a south african for being ignorant.



South African defence industry built only 12 units of Rooivalk helicopters with ZERO export numbers in 25 years, and you exported only 102 units of G6 artillery in 25 years. so how big is your large scale ? like China ? grin

.
Weapons that were manufactured or designed during the Bush war weren't designed for sells but better performance. The Rooivalk gave birth to South Africa's aviation industry,SA manufactures many parts for planes across the world including the A400M and Typhoon fighter jet................How many MRAPS and Mine detecting vehicles were exported to western nations?..........To sell weapons like helicopters a country needs a political and military muscle,where competition is high. Nigeria is yet to develop an aviation industry.

So because we don't export means we don't manufacture in large quantity? I still doubt that you are a soldier.
The are a lot of reason why Nigeria doesn't export from producing weapons under license to producing weapons that are inferior to others in their class example being MRAPs. Producing is not important large or small,what's important is development of new systems and further developing old systems. 1. New designs 2. Quality 3.Politics 4.Fully Indigenous systems: This is the reason why South Africa has never managed to sell the Rooivalk.

Because you are ignorant of that fact.
Purchasing weapons can be difficult during a war between powerful regional powers like Nigeria and South Africa. Defence industries will have to play a huge role in stuff like upgrading and maintains. A war of that scale would mean world powers will take sides like during the Biafran war. To stop both countries from fighting weapon sanctions can be applied starving both nations. This is where superior SA defence industry will became a game changer. South Africa can have proper fighting MBT between 3 to 7 years,well Nigeria...........................
