I'd love to know which of Denel's clients passed on our NTW-20 to a Hamas sniper in Gaza.

uganda Sukhoi Su-30MK2 jets

SF units are generally classified as indirect fire elements. So for SF units driving around in Hornet vehicles or Kawazaki motorbikes to be effective, they would need to be able to call in dedicated air assets at short notice. Sadly this isn't a capability that is available to most militaries in Africa. A 50 CAL and a 7.62mm won't cut it.


I do agree that convoys don't bust out of thin air, however you could say hypothetically they do if your AO is the size of Scotland or Belgium and the Netherlands combined.

Thank you guys for being matured with your responses with no name calling or chest beating or disparaging comments this is not a Nigeria versus S'Africa contest, and let me remove any doubt, The S'African Military industrial complex is years ahead however that is not the issue.
Thank you Mr Henry for setting Mr " D" straight the focus of my discussion was the Gecko and the other IFV that was profiled and I detailed a vast open hostile area like the Lake Chad or the Bad lands between Kenya and Somalia
Mr Patches with great respect you are not going to sneaking up on anybody, this is not a static warfare and i say this with great respect for your knowledge you Geckos would of already been on the ground and they will be facing a swarm of Technical that have a range of 2 k.m Mr HENRY Please tell him the name of BH FAVORITE TECHNICAL.
I will go to the battle of Bangui by BH standards that was SYMMETRIC WAR and S'Africa still lost quite a few of those Gecko , and yes Nigeria has lost equipment ( lots) to . When I see those pictures of those GECKO actually "towing" heavy equipment I see a bullet riddled Gecko with Multiple casualties the day the Air force does not show up on time,
In Nigeria with CAS intervention time is now 15 minutes however you are expected to fight on your own for a least an hour.
i do not pray to see the day S'A frican wake up to see that their " jeep" is obsolete but the fact is the next real asymmetric war they will fight will be it, then the enemy is not going to wait for you to load your equipment up and land decently at your DZ that to me is Static warfare so far S'AFRICA has been blessed in the DRC, I hope it stays that way.
Mr" D" like MR Henry said Nigeria has made do with what it had, let me tell to you one grim change they made :The OCKTAR apc does not seem to feature prominently any more in intensive fire fight before like the GECKO they were all over the place.

LTGEN:
This type of vehicle plus the beloved S'African Gecko would not do very well in the Lake Chad regions bordering Chad /Niger/Nigeria.It also would be in serious trouble in the No Man's land between Kenya and Somalia
It is too exposed and can't take one RPG or a buried IED
I may hurt some feelings but it is no better than the thin skinned Toyota Hiluxes . They are essentially H.M.V.

I would choose weight. Air transportablity.

SANDeaF are just wasting tax payers money for the sake of being amongst 'peacekeeping nations' and taking 'hollywood photos'... perhaps, they join anti-poaching units and stop the proliferation of 'knifes' in the country... people get stabbed like crazy here.

overhypedsteve:
the scourge of terrorism have helped us to build a formidable well equipped army. That is familiar with all the theatres of operation available in Africa from the sahara to the sub sahara. I sometimes wonder how clueless a bunch of SADF men would look in the dusty heat of the northern nigerian theatre. Lol, thats when they will know the different between photography and desert warfare.
SMH@ the ogas in the pics. How them take manage carry those comfortable white chairs go desert for training.

NNS Thunder is an OPV, but with 76mm main gun having 13km effective range in rapid fire mode, your Helicopter and it's unlucky Mokopa are both sh.ot down 13km away....Mokopa max range is only 10km, so NNS Thunder kills it before launch...Get it? Yes you get it !

shallow opinion, even if you're entitled to it

This mugu is getting desperate! Epic fail.

with over 10 oil producing states half a trillion dollars doesn't compare to what?

iterator24:
all projects in gauteng are funded from the federal budget, in Nigeria, states like akwa ibom funds their own projects from their oil revenue..

iterator24:
don't equate Nigeria's budget with yours nor equate GDP per capita as being rich, Nigerian oil producing states get their revenue outside budget. Right now, Nigeria is the richest country on the continent, if you can't swallow it, go and die!

Henry120:
You have no money.

agaugust:
Bwahahaha

Your above story is dated May 2013, almost 3 years old news, yet SAN does not know the name of OPV and IPV it will buy....because they will buy NOTHING....no money !

mzilakazi:
Race obsession yet again. Those minority whites are South Africans.

jl115:
As i proved and said before, ill say it again, it was never our objective to protect bangui, we were there on a training mission,thus very lightly armed,Just like it was neither the French duty to protect bangui. Are you know stipulating that seleka defeated the French too, by taking Bangui.
