So what you guys bought was a simple observation radar, with 0 war time capabilities!

36D3 radar was never meant to guide missies in NE, its meant to detect incoming aircraft and do airspace management in war zone, and Boko Haram has no air force. Does your Thutlwa fight war in Sudan? No, SANDF deployed your radar for basic air traffic control in Sudan.

You clearly have no experience with maintenance:

Regrettably, in spite of these expenditures, the status of NAF fleet remained operationally appalling as only 3 Alpha-Jets, 2 C-130H and one each of Mi-24V and Mi-35P were serviceable as at 28 May 2015.

And from global security:

As of 2009, most of its fleets were grounded and its training institutions were constrained with shortages of technical skills such as instructors and institutional facilities. Lack of funding has been responsible for an inability to preserve aircraft regularly… Aircraft become due for Periodic Depot Maintenance (PDM) with time, and not by hours flown, because they are most of the time grounded for unserviceability.

The reasons for unserviceability are usually traceable to lack of spares occasioned by insufficient funding.

7 Aircraft out of over a hundred operational... only 7

Unfortunately for you, your military tribunal report on NAF says clearly that the 7 aircraft fleet was as at May 28, 2015.....outdated !

NAF has released a new and more current report listing names of aircraft currently operational and fighting war, doing combat/recce missions as at October 28, 2015....most recent report from the new and current NAF chief of air staff, the final authority on Nigerian air force operations and capabilities.

" The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) said it had between July and October 2015 conducted a total of 1448 air sorties in support of the ongoing counterinsurgency operation in the northeast and also deployed over 300 ground troops from its special forces to fight along with the Army in the field. .


The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Abubakar disclosed this on Wednesday.

The Air Force, he said, is doing everything possible to see how peace can be restored in the troubled areas as soon as possible.

According to him, the air component is fully integrated in the counterinsurgency operation plans and as such, NAF is using different aircrafts in its arsenal including F-7NI, Alpha Jet, C-130 AC, Agusta 109 LUH, Mi-35, Mi-24, Mi-17, Super Puma Helicopters, among others to carry out logistics support, reconnaissance and combat operations.


“Where ever the army is going in the battlefield, we give them the air support, provide intelligence and clear the ground for them to operate optimally he stated. "

The Committee established that the radars were excessively priced as a complete set of such radars (comprising 6 radars including the Control Centre) goes for Six Million US Dollars ($6m) averagely. The Committee observed that the radars were delivered without the vital component of Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) that distinguishes between own and adversary aircraft, which has significantly degraded the operational capabilities of the NAF in the North East.

No IFF means they are effectivly useless for anything other than controlling civilian air-traffic

IFF does NOT stop detection of aircraft. NAF knows when her jets are airborne. IFF is replacable by pilot to base radio comm codes and passwords. How do you think air spaces are managed by countries whose air forces have no long range radar?

Nigeria builds regional helicopter maintenance hanger

English.news.cn 2016-01-12 02:34:08



LAGOS, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- The Nigerian government on Monday said it has completed a massive maintenance hanger for the country's military helicopters and others within the West African countries.

Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Abubakar Sadique, disclosed this in Abuja, the nation's capital, during a meeting with governor of central north state of Niger, Abubakar Sani Bello.

Sadique said the hanger, which is located in Minna, the capital of Niger State, is aimed to become a regional hub for helicopter maintenance in partnership with the state government and other critical stakeholders.

He said the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is doing its possible best to ensure that security is maintained and sustained in the state through the presence of personnel, facilities and formations.

"The NAF is looking at the possibility of enhancing our operations in Minna. We have a hanger that we have constructed already, which we hope that it will turn out to be a big maintenance center for helicopters not only for the NAF, but other air forces in West African that operate the same helicopters," he added.

"We have completed the hanger. The aim is to make that hanger a maintenance workshop for the helicopters. We are working toward actualizing that not only with other partners but also with the Niger state government as well the Americans," said the NAF chief.

On his part, Bello said his administration is looking to partner with the air force in the area of capacity building and security particularly around the Minna Air Port.

He also expressed hope that the establishment of the helicopter hanger maintenance center will not only strengthen the security of the state, but will as well boost its economy.

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2016-01/12/c_134999210.htm

NAF is to maintain helicopters for the whole West African sub-region, and they have 30 years experience in Alpha Jet, L-39 Albateoss maintenance, F-7 jets are still almost brand new and cheap to maintain .

Your claims = Garbage.

4000 troops destroyed MPLA/Cubans in 36 battles

As usual, another empty meaningless post

Angola bush war, 60,000 UNITA troops combined with 4,000 SADF to fight Cuban army and MPLA troops, yet SADF got beaten blue black.

Lesotho? Zimbabwean police can stop the coup that you call a war. Any tanks, artillery, or jet used in Lesotho civil unrest? No, thats No war.

C.A.R Bangui where Seleka used SANDF for shooting practice till you ran away year 2013 never to return.

DR Congo, United Nations missions involving many countries' military forces from all over the world, is that an SANDF war? Tanzanian army was commanding South African army in Congo.

I see how you guys struggle to find any credible modern day war history or records for your photomaniac SANDF Hollywood army

that's what i have been telling him..... all these are waek soldiers posing in front of the equipment....

All we see is photos of SANDF and their weapons....ZERO enemy to fight them...Hollywood movie !

.
Nice photos THIZA....except that they are all PEACE-TIME hollywood demo pictures of SANDF...

So South African military only fights war inside photographs not it real life? Your military is NOT battle tested, the whole of your country has NOT deployed more than one brigade of 4,000 soldiers in battle at a time, and that was 25 years ago in Angola when the Cuban teeenage army of boys and girls beat up the older SADF.

Thanks to the 60,000 UNITA troops of Savimbi that was doing 90% of the fighting for you in Angola bush war, the 4,000 SADF brigade would have been surrounded and wiped out in one hour by the inexperienced and young Cuban army of mere conscripts.

Can you show us a war, a big war were SANDF fights alone and deploys all those shiny weapons with at least 5,000 man brigade ?

I mean modern war, I mean SANDF in charge not UN peace mission, I mean show us a war SANDF has fought with those weapons

like you said on the other thread: stop commenting on things you know nothing about

Eagle technical specs are classified, you too show us the technical specs of Chaka C2 Equipment as per its communication range, wavelengths, frequencies, interference configurations, satellite band, electromagnetic bandwith, etc

The overall performance of the Eagle is KNOWN and PUBLUSHED on Nigerian defence HQ official website and that is all a wise military will disclose about such sensitive high level command equipment.

"The Eagle Mobile Central Command Post is a vehicle mounted with various Information Communication and Technology equipment. This on board equipment gives the Theatre Commander the opportunity to have first hand information of the battle space. From the vehicle the commander has access to both ground troops and air assets within the battle space.

Chinese new WS-13 engine for JF-17 is almost ready. NAF has two choices of engines. JF-17 offers Nigeria technology transfer on how to build a 4th generation jet fighter, J-10 does not offer that. Tech transfer is priceless and a great reward.

I've always wondered with these vehicles, what happens when it starts to rain/snow?

Reason why I hate those open body SF vehicles, if terrorist AK-47 dont kill the SF, heavy rain, sand storm, whirlwind, super hot sunshine will bastardize the men, degrade their equipment, and weaken their bodily stamina. I have those type of uncovered open body special forces vehicles.

Major General C.T Olukoju of Nigerian army as a Colonel 5 years ago.

He is the brain behind the Nigerian army Eagle battle space command post.

Maj.Gen Olukoju had to attend five different universities around the world to study before getting to his technical level as at 2011.

"His commitment to study earned him the second in the order of merit. He won the Minister of Defence’s award.

Apart from this award, Olukoju was given awards by the Brazilian Government and the college for presenting the best paper in Science and Technology: “Nigerian Space Programme: Challenges and Prospects,” and would give a copy to the National Agency in charge of Space Development to study the recommendations to see how to enrich the nation’s space programmes."

You cannot know an armoured Toyota Landcruiser by looking at its photo. Many armoured cars owned by civilians drive around the streets of this world and look ordinary, until the owner tells you he bought it factory armoured on special order. Not all armoured cars and SUV look like an MRAP or APC.

This is how you South Africans start issues by posting your personal imaginary information about other African countries equipment to rubbish it directly or stylishly.
