says who, thief? The article said your neighbours would wipe you off at a go....

postmann:
You keep looking for military battles Internationally credited to SA, i wish you good luck in your search.

postmann:
And there's a minimum acceptable level of logic here. If one presents a source, do not assume it has been thrashed before, it doesn't matter how often it has been said. Fact is fact,no matter how worn.

Also simple truths don't always need source, it just a tactless and lousy excuses you fools use to deny truth. Paper tigers.

postmann:
on paper, boy, on paper. SA military = paper Tigers.

postmann:
which country turns around a pariah, dilapidated weak military institution around in 2 years ? Answer : no country. So if SA is military is down and out in 2012, it still is today. Have another try.



And i don't fall for the well-worn "out-dated news" strategy.

EVarn:
Outdated and poorly researched articles does not carry any weight,isnt it this same 'poorly fed and underequipped' troops that have been pushing boko haram back into gwoza and sambisa forest in the past three months?,if the NA didnt have jets and helicopters as alleged by the article,what are they using in their continous bombardment and aerial assault in the north-east,the air force has conducted over 5000 aerial bombardment on boko haram bases and hideouts,in the last five months,i say again,what are they using in conducting these assaults?,kites?,hot-air balloons?...seriously,you embarrase yourself whenever you attempt to think and then write.no wonder south africa has stagnated!

DieVluit:
Stopped reading when you said "down and out". Even Henry120, who studies our military for a living uses the word "decline".

"Down and out" is a first on this thread.

I was actually expecting your excuses. A 2012 article is outdated ? You think military structures are built likr blocks of flats. That article rightly pointed that it would take decades of 7billion to 11billion rands anually for your pathetic military to even be up to par with Rwanda.

I never thought you'd own up. You're the hallmark of a new level of shame and cowardice. Hehehehe.

EVarn:
really,saffers on this thread must be getting really desperate,to resort to so much lies and half truths.how can you call a country that is spending over N1trillion{approx:$7billion} + a $1billion supplementary in 2014,is has a weak and underequipped military?,how can a nation that is giving advanced training to its troops in advanced military nations of the world,a weak nation?,if the current military budget were to continue over the span of the next 10 years,then the NAmF is going to be the most powerful military of the continent.even now most african nations cannot match us in sheer firepower,if the whole ECOWAS countries were ally together to fight nigeria,we will simply make quick work of them,they know that,thats why the ghanaian military chief said "an unstable nigeria,is an unstable west africa,it also spells doom for africa.that can never be allowed",can the same be said of SADAC?,tanzania alone will pose more than enough threat to SA.south africa can never lead the black race,its a puppet nation!

one fool asks for Source, the other nicompoop says it's stale news. LOL, chameleon southies, keep shifting the goal posts to change the game's outcome.


I'm displaying this source not because you want it, but because i love to shove it into your stupid, ignorant throat. There's your source, glory-thieves :m.mg.co.za/index.php?view=article&urlid=2012-05-04-lack-of-funds-leaves-sa-vulnerable

no. Boko haram was a comical group before the aftermath of the libyan war and the Tuareg militants in the Maghreb. The connection, experience and equipment that Boko HAram has in its control will make the M23 rebels look like a Boyscout club.

What are you waiting for? I have almost 6,000 comments on this thread, go through them and pick out all the google web links, sources and photos as much as you desire, I have posted a whole Library of Nigerian military equipment here and compared them in detail with those of South Africa.

Now don't be lazy mister, open the 6,000 comments and satisfy your curiosity, I won't spoon feed you, so use your own time, energy, and brain.

I am waiting....

You got your a$$ handed to you in the CAR.

Wow, so professional.

Henry120:
They have 100 times better militaries than the SANDF, so what does that make you?

agaugust:
The current military weapons and equipment of Nigeria CANNOT be fully known by internet search because of massive purchase of secret hardware for Boko Haram war.

However, a few points on what we know shows Nigeria is superior overall to South Africa, e.g.

150,000 man battle tested army

30 + 40 = 70 combat helicopters

World class ISTAR aircraft with very long range capability and state-of-the-art EW equipment

660 Artillery guns

500 Amphibious armoured vehicles

One of the world's biggest and most modern OPV and IPV force

Military use spy Satellites

.

Henry120:
I don't think the russians, poles, Indians, turks, and Brazilians can be classified as less professional armies.

It is at the discretion of the soldier to seat where he thinks it's comfortable for him.

Gecko, Seleka already imported those. We'll pass.

Henry120:
Over 1300 dead terrorists in konduga tell a different story.

Henry120:
It is common military practice, Nothing wrong with it. Besides you fight from outside the APC, not inside it.

Henry120:
It is carrying out the duties it is built for. It isn't a model people look at, it is designed to facilitate the extermination of virgin hunters, not modelling.

Henry120:
BH runs no part of Nigeria.

Henry120:
We also build MRAPS, the Proforce PF1 is an MRAP, the IKRI is also an MRAP.

Dummy, the Igirigi is an LAV with a ballistics protection of Stanag level 2, and boy are we happy with it.

Our IGIRIGI doesn't go to some AAD show, it goes straight to the field where it is needed.

Like a true Armoured personnel carrier.

How convenient, Africa's largest and most prosperous economy failed, and what does that make you with your recession hit economy?

postmann:
A large and long overdue review of South Africa's
defence capabilities and needs, now in the
phase of public consultation, paints a grim
picture. The country has too few fighting men and
women, often with old or useless equipment,
often without the discipline required to
constitute an effective fighting force, little ability
to deploy them rapidly, little by way of heavy
equipment to back them up and a severely limited ability to communicate with them once
they are in the field.
