It is a good thing that Botswana, Namibia and
Zimbabwe do not seem to have any territorial
ambitions, because if they chose to annex a few
South African provinces, the defence force would
be hard-pressed to stop them, especially if
Lesotho decided to get into the action.



Ask me for source or bring in the mods

You're new to this thread, that doesn't even count as yesterday news... we placed SS 77 LMG holes on that article and was long buried before you even discovered Nairaland.

One minute google searches dispute 90% of South African comments, so easy
.

Let's see Google dispute at least 90% of these (valid) claims:

- The SANDF ranks above the NAF
- The SAAF is better equipped, more experienced than the NA
- The SAN is better equipment, better trained and more experienced than the NN
- The South African Special Forces are better trained, better recognised than the Nigerian Special Forces
- South Africa has the most advanced homegrown weapons in Africa


Google me facts to counter my facts and paste links.... if not, I will haunt you with this list till the end of 2014.

Leave him alone, he suffers from hate amd frustration.... when one has nothing going on for him, he hates the one who is progressing.

agaugust:
@postmann called you glory-stealers and you were calling for moderators, is it not glory stealing when you claim United Nations controlled military forces forces from about 20 countries from all over the world, is a personal military achievement for South Africa? Even Tanzanians who commanded and led SANDF have not come here to claim self glory from a global UN operation.

Moderator should start banning people for telling open lies and making open false claims, then 90% of South African posts will become hidden
.

That's because you can't counter 90% of the South African threads.

.......fighting terrorists isnt conventional warfare,its about effective strategy and surgical strikes!

You have no strategy and no surgical strikes..... Please I ask you to write a petition to your federal government to allow the SANDF to clear-up inserguncy for you.... We're ready and willing to help just say the words.

EVarn:
you were chased away from the BATTLEFIELD,i never said that the SANDF was walked out of C.A.R. by rebels(not yet),early this year the south african government sent reinforcement into C.A.R. when it was obvious that the troops are been chicken-chased all over C.A.R. by a ragtag rebel group,as for lesotho,well south africa eventually invaded,conquered and held lesotho(togo can do that!),but it is a shame indeed that SANDF were withstood in the initial assault by an army of cooks.

Link which says we were chased?

I have links of Nigerian soldiers running away from Boko Haram... I can help you indulge yourself.

ocelot2006:
Only 2 GPMGs and a couple of smoke launchers? The vehicle is under - armed compared to the British Army WMIK. But it's design is impressive though.

No it's not under-armed, the vehicle you're referring to has the same number of machine guns - 2.

Anyway it was a suggestion.

sirjerry:
check it out http://monthlyreview.org/2013/04/01/the-military-defeat-of-the-south-africans-in-angola/

The fact that that's a socialist report makes it pure communist propaganda bull not even worth reading.

Henry120:
What review? The one literally gathering dust in your parliament....... LOL

Wake up and smell the coffee, it's morning.

I thought "gathering dust" was a figure of speech as you once said.

In the meantime Naija parents are crying real tears because the Nigerian army couldn't #BringBackTheGirls

Nigerian navy simulation room

AMD Eyefinity setup. How I wish to have such a setup in my man-cave.

Henry120:
It isn't off-topic. It was military related, and right on topic. I see no reason why you hid all the comments related to that topic.

"zulu bushmen"? is that part of the topic?

The past two weeks this thread has been fludeed with tribalism, economics, infrastructure, Apartheid, genocide, etc which wasn't military related all meant to undermine the two countries.

In case you haven't noticed, guys who mainly do military posts (andrewza, MikeZA...... even Augububu) have left this thread because of the deliberate derailment brought by some some newcomers.

If we keep to the original debate it would be cool and bring extras if they are on topic.

Look at the General's face, he can't believe a machine-gun could be so portable. I would definitely buy these for my soldiers, 40% of my platoon would be machine gunners coz this is so portable.

I know this is off-topic but this fictional pickup would be great for SF..

Thank you mod for deleting off-topic discussions... two thumbs-up for that.

My PC is finally up and running and I decided to install an old PES 2013 disk from my friend since I am yet to go Game shopping... Buh the PES 2013 keeps saying that my Video card doesn't meet up whenever i try to start the gane but I have a Nvidia 840M 2gb Dedicated Memory.. Am a bit confused atm. Any help guys?

Some games do not support laptop GPUs.... but first download the latest Nvidia drivers for your GPU and lets run the game and see what happens.

Very Nice... I hope it's a first for many to come

@DieVluit

Just leave this tribalist with his tribalism... he's alone on his journey.

kimco:

Yah that's what you need...

I hinted on the GTX970 on my clan on our last night gaming session, this morning everyone wants to replace his GPU.. It's nuts.

kimco:

Lol.. that's a GPU killer, luckily I stopped being a Crysis victim in 2008.

Been to Jo'burg, Pretoria, Polokwane.

Is Nelspruit near Kruger national park, I cannot recall the city I visited that was somewhat close to Kruger.

Yah, Nelspruit is closer to the Kruger National Park

Did ANYONE here express an interest in this non-story?

You're such a waste of space on the thread.

He's an attention seeker.

Firstly looking at the impact of both Nigeria and south Africa on their neighbors/regions Economically i will go for Nigeria as the west African economy can be said to be better than that of south Africa.

Secondly south Africa have been seen to shy away from responsibilities concerning peace keeping and military intervention, which the Nigerian Govt. gladly undertake.

Thirdly, while the Nigerian Economy is the biggest in the continent, there is still strong indication that it will grow bigger and stronger, if we continue to improve our Economic drivers.

My personal Opinion would be Nigeria not be cos i'm Nigerian plus even Egypt and Libya are regarded as Middle eastern countries than African

South Africa shying away from "responsibilities"?

What are we doing in Sudan? DRC? Burundi?Who forms part in first ever UN Foreign Intervention Brigade?

Post facts not opinions.

DieVluit:
Be ashamed!

Ghana is doing what your brains cannot do. They take your gas. Produce electricity. supply the electricity to you and take your money.

You make a lot of babies in Nigeria, but not a lot of "thinkings".

Same thing happens with petrol and diesel.

Same thing still with your population, which has been used as a cash cow by smarter nations.

50 million babies in just 12 years = disaster bound to happen.

EVarn:
you continue to surprise me with your illiteracy,ghana's population is not up to 1/9 of ours,infact the population of lagos is more than that of ghana,of course it is easy for them to generate and distribute power than for nigeria of over 170 million people.we are working on our power,we are even considering nuclear source of energy,with nuclear energy we'll be able to generate 200,000MW of power by 2020

You will make 200 000MW of nuclear power in less than 6 years = hallucination.
