I won't even read the link "at this time". This has become a daily occurrence.

I hope you don't believe this lie, you're currently telling?

I have proved with sources that the air war was joint operation between MONUSCO Mi-35 Hinds of Ukraine and FIB Rooivalks of South Africa, the glory belongs to United Nations led by army Generals from Brazil and Tanzania.

"Another South African news outlet, DefenceWeb, reported that the Rooivalks had conducted their offensive operations against M23 positions in partnership with a pair of Mil Mi-24/35 ‘Hind’ helicopters of the FIB. The report was not clear on who was operating these Hinds, but India and Ukraine are known to have contributed such helicopters to MONUSCO – the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the DR Congo."

Post your NA vs SANDF armour comparison again I dare you !

I never run from this forum, I quit once in a while when I am tired of your fraud and open lies, and I always announce my quitting with reason, even the Admirals and Generals in SANDF will not make me run away in a debate, they have military training and I have it too.

Ingwe Vs Swingfire, smoke defeats Ingwe laser lights, Ingwe can only travel in a straight line, Swingfire cannot be jammed by smoke, it's wire guidance makes it swing around corners and deceive the target, Swingfire is better than Ingwe, reason why Egypt still uses them after battle experience with Israeli tanks, and China is now making new wire guided missiles after realizing that smoke defeats laser beams.

Swingfire is superior to Ingwe based on guidance system reliability.

My figures were only short term? How about this - An ounce of gold in the year 1850 sold for $18.93. Twelve decades later, before America abandoned the gold standard in 1970s, an ounce of gold sold for $36.02. This is equivalent to an annual rate of return of 0.538% over 120 years!

bookface:
In the last 20 years, Gold has rallied - but so has every thing else. Global stocks, as measured by the MSCI world index returned 261% compounded over the last 20 years, versus gold return of 187%. If you have invested in a Nigerian deposit account that pays 15% per year, on a compounded basis over the last 20 years, you returns will be 1637% in NGN terms

bookface:
If you must talk about the impact of inflation - Inflation in Nigeria over the last 20 years has trended lower and stabilized at at average of 10% a year. Over 20 Years, it can probably be assumed that inflation (all items) have compounded at 673%. I am ignoring the currency effects given that the Naira has generally lost value relative to the USD over this period - but to safely compare, it can be assumed that a foreign investor in a Nigerian bank at 15% per year perfectly hedges his/her currency exposure and likewise a Nigerian investor in gold hedges his returns back to NGN. In all of these scenarios - such an investor will have fared much better in an account that pays 15% a year - followed closely by investment in global stocks. Additionally, gold would not have protected your wealth from inflation in this instances.

bookface:
People buy gold to store in times of fear only because they expect someone else who is more fearful than them to pay a higher price for it at some future date - pure speculation. Gold has very little utility - which is its use in manufacturing a jewelry (it probably has other uses). If i give you an ounce of gold today, you can not eat it, it will not pay you dividends, it will not grow in size - if you keep it under your mattress for another 120 years, it will still be an ounce of gold- Its value at that point in time is purely speculative. It could either increase, remain constant or decrease - like we have witnessed in the past two years.


Paper currency is nothing? - But even during wars - people don't go to supermarkets with cartons of gold! They pay cash!

bookface:
Gold is a pure speculative investment - much akin to gambling. The idea that it preserves wealth is nonsense. Last year alone, the value of gold fell by 28%.

The world has seen 2 world wars, a great depression, several recessions, earthquakes, tremors, and even moments when big towns were submerged under the sea (Alexandria of Egypt) or by molten magma (Pompei) yet, we are still here! I suppose your exaggeration of a comet hitting the earth is a tad bit too far, but even if that happens, the world will not trade goods and services in gold.

tpia6:
Always a very valuable commodity.

bookface:
Some will disagree - your biggest opponent will be Warren Buffet. As he puts it:


"It (gold) gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head."


Buffet hammered on gold in his 2011 shareholder letter calling it an "unproductive asset." He said that assets like gold "will never produce anything, but are purchased in the buyer's hope that someone else will pay more for them in the future." He went on to say that the owners of assets like gold "are not inspired by what the asset itself can produce -- it will remain lifeless forever -- but by the belief that others will desire it even more avidly in the future."

Does anyone know whether watchdogs has an issue with AMD processors or video cards? Because the game is laggy on my A10 with 8gb ram on the lowest possible settings

agaugust:
Nope, MONUSCO was involved in some last combat, and majorly was flank-guard and rear-guard protection for FIB, war is like that, you secure a theatre, not just a field of ops.

Tanzania brought D-30 long range artillery and used them to decimate M23, South Africa brought in Rifles, LOL, Lion share of glory goes to Tanzania, SANDF still desperate to steal UN glory because they have no other war to show the world except Seleka rebels catastrophe

agaugust:
Your photo is likely that of a Ugandan or Somalian soldier killed by El Shabab, surely NOT Nigerian army.

Will you like it if I post Congolese dead soldiers as SANDF casualties ?

Henry120:
Bla bla bla.

It's nothing but a cheap propaganda video.

EVarn:
soldiers ran out of mubi?,you are confuse.i've said it before,mubi's terrain is sloppy and rough,troops can easily be ambushed from so many positions,that is why that shecow abubakar shekau III{imposter} is strutting about mubi in self assurance and blinding arrogance,its 'cos he knows the terrain.

EVarn:
so you killed a paltry 600 rebels,and you expect an award?,it is unfortunate how your skull is filled with custard isnt it?,how many terrorist have the NAF killed in this year alone?,they have even killed more than that number in one operation alone!.the military never lost one man in the konduga battle,yet the exterminated over 600 terrorists in two almost simultaneous strikes!,over 300 terrorist died in damboa,yet not even one soldier was critically injured.dont talk what you dont know,as for M23,that wasnt even an organized militant group,even the nigerian police{NPF} could have wiped them out with eyes closed.i wonder,arent you ashamed that france outdid you?

agaugust:
The Hollywood war movie script you wrote above is hilarious and I cannot stop laughing

LOL, you wrote a war story where only you was attacking, and your enemy was watching you as if his own hands are chained and padlocked.

@Mike.ZA used to right insane Soap Opera Drama stuff like that when he first joined this forum, it took a while to re-arrange his confused brain, but he is better educated by Nigerians now, so I advice you go borrow the Nigerians' war notebooks we gave him to read and cured his insaniity that got him the comical nick-name PAPA AJASCO

SANDF ANTI AIRCRAFT

EVarn:
*scoff*,so you are now justifying how you ran out of CAR,leaving behind caches of weapon in your haste?,spare me lies about how you performed better than child rebels,thing is,rebels sent you scampering,arent you supposed to cover your face in shame?.and stop saying "comrades in arms",it makes me crack up..hahaha....as if you have ever smelt a gun before!.

agaugust:
Olodo, the Swingfire is named swing because it has special uncommon ability to swing around in circles and curves unlike your dumbo Ingwe that follows only a straight line laser light, or your own light turns around corners ? Fool, law of physics South African education cannot teach you...light travels in a straight line always....Olodo

The Swingfire will smoke out all your Ingwes and force you to waste the 3 missiles and lose them to smoke, then he will launch his own Swingfire because Ingwe on Ratel can only be reloaded when the Ratel occupants come outside to carry the missiles for reload, then they die by Swingfire along with their unlucky Ratels. PITY PITY PITY

agaugust:
Nigeria's Swingfire was produced up till the 1990s, SANDF Ingwe entered service in 1987.

agaugust:
Ingwe is laser guided and smoke grenade from Nigerian Cobra or other vehicles will block and blind the Ingwe guidance system to make it more useless than a bushman hunter's bow and arrow.

agaugust:
"Despite their impressive capabilities, laser weapons do have some significant downsides. These can be taken advantage of to give the battlefield soldier a measure of defense against them. Because lasers are basically light, a number of everyday means can be used to diminish their effectiveness. Their performance can be significantly decreased or negated altogether by phenomena like fog, rain, snow, smoke, and so on, which can disperse or refract the weapon’s beam to ineffectualness, depending on how thick it is."

agaugust:
SANDF cannot fire one single Ingwe on Nigerian army, our infantry anti-tank guns have 7km range against Ingwe's 5km range.

agaugust:
Ingwe gets defeated by smoke grenades blocking off it's laser guidance system and thus disable the Ingwe missile.

Nigeria too anti-tank missiles called Swingfire, launched by our Stormer APCs

The swingfire is wire guided and swings around to confuse the enemy, it cannot be blocked by smoke

Nigerian army will roast SANDF rag tag hollywood photos-only army like suya meat

agaugust:
Source of above story is South African, your usual war propaganda lies.

Post us insider source from independent United Nations MONUSCO and FIB that own and led the whoe war in Congo DRC against M23.

The whole world defeated M23 rebel

You are a glory stealing Jankoriko

agaugust:
Ingwe missile will not win you a war.

The most powerful weapons in South African military are imported, Gripen jet, Hawk jet, Valour Frigate, Type 209 Submarine, and Olifant tank, IRIS-T missile, Starstreak missile, Milan missile, Paveway Guided bombs....and the list goes on.....

[size=16pt]Your Ratels and Ingwes missiles with only 5km range, and with all soldiers loaded inside the APC/IFV are all k.illed by Nigerian army anti-tank infantry recoilless rifles from 7km away.

Our 7km range is superior to your 5km range, SANDF is gonna R.I.P
