NaijaPikinGidi: Something to ponder upon and a further proof of the biased, unethical and poor ethics in journalism that is the hallmark of western/foreign news media! This is the BBC for you ... caught between a rock and a hard place trying to speak from both sides of the mouth. However, the key point here is that 2000 people didn't get killed in Baga! Impossible. In deed, this is a weak attempt by the BBC to appear to be credible ... following our NA's strong rebuttal and statement of the actual number of casualties in Baga.

mzilakazi: Green berets are also known as the US special forces dummy!!!
l] Australian Green Berets are always Australian. You can have Soweto Green Berets named as such if you wish, the difference is that name Australian before the words Green Berets. Nigeria has SBS and Britain has SBS, the difference is the name of country attached to the SBS....you dummy !! |

1 sentance = argument destroyed You just proved me right, Mali tried to fight terrorism and was defeated. France did NOT fight alone in Mali, it was French army + French air force + Chadian army +Chadian air force + Malian army + Nigerian army + Nigerian air force COMBINATION that defeated terrorists in Mali. Your brain is short circuited   . |

Official numbers are official numbers.
In Nigeria it is illegal for the NA to hide casualties .
Hello there Agaugust
I haven't posted in this forum for about a year now have even forgotten my username I was using then. We were discussing capabilities wrt Otomat vs Execot and their launch platforms at the time, SAN frigates vs Nigerian frigate, but then I got ended up just going to the pub instead . I'm glad you have lost non of your passionate fire in the interim.
1. Which NAF jets are those exactly you refer to?
2. No doubt all technical performance details for the PL-9 are classified as it is with any other weapons system. The "unofficially obtained" figures of 90% successful engagement rate sure does sound impressive, but under what testing conditions how were these attained? Relying on surface controls like canards, rollerons and ailerons for stability/maneuvering (no thrust vectoring capability from exhaust nozzle) they are seriously compromised in engagements with fast moving targets able to detect them, perform evasive manouvres and deploy counter measures.
Seeing as the equivalent products produced on a relatively shoe string budget by indigenous SA companies (no need to worry about changing political climates as they have in house production capability) have demonstrated 100% success rate in internationally observed trials a claimed 90% success rate doesn't sound so good to be honest.
3. Illegal for the NA to hide causalities, so they have the same constitutional requirements of 95% of the worlds armies... do they have the same watch dogs in place to make sure they adhere to those rules? No not a chance, not even close, what would happen to a whistle blower in Nigeria that revealed something putting the authorities in a bad light and embarrassed the government?
4. Only 1 frigate working? Last time I checked 1 was in refit, 2 operational- ie either on patrol or ready for immediate deployment at full operational capability, the other ready to be deployed at full operational level on short notice if required.
5. I have to take my hat off and express genuine admiration and respect for Nigeria with how they handled the Biafra situation and despite America's best efforts to manipulate things to suit their agenda of expanding their empire (using many "humanitarian NGO's" yeah right, they were sneaky bastards) you guys did well there, well done. It wasn't portrayed in a popular light by the western propoganda/media at the time but it was the necessary evil required to achieve the greater good. So don't buy Chinese hardware(missiles, ships, whatever)! Why do you think SA turned down USA's offer of F-16s- way too many strings attached.
6. Not good form to criticize RSA for helping in CAR. At least they tried to help and actually did contribute something positive towards the well being of the local populace. Nigeria did nothing and they are right next door! If you can read back pages of this forum from June 2014 to January 2015, you will find answers to all your questions . |

patches689: And the difference between your war and the ones you listed above - in those wars the insurgents didnt hold towns and cities, they didnt move around in massive formations, they didnt have APC's and such. The COIN war is over - the low intensity conventional war has begun If France becomes surrounded by Islamic nations like Chad , Niger Republic and North Cameroon, and when France has has 90 million Muslim citizens like Nigeria, they will find 1,000 radicals that will hold a town by mixing up with civilians, then the French army will not able to use force or raw air power so as not to kill the innocent civilians mixed with terrorists. Show me any country in this world with Nigeria's Muslim population and neighborhood fighting terrorism and doing better than Nigeria in war ! Mumu Domingo, brain empty of simple logic  . |

"Australian Commando berets are known as being "Sherwood Green" in colour. The corps badge on the beret is a black background and a gold combat dagger with the moto “Strike Swiftly" underneath the dagger.[4] The green beret is only awarded to a soldier upon becoming qualified as a Commando in either of the below Regiments. 1st Commando Regiment 2nd Commando Regiment.

MikeCZAR: Do you know how fighter aircraft attack ships?
If needed you know, all your jets will be shot down. I am the one who posted the last modern day jet vs ship war here from Falklands war records of casualties and losses. Old school Skyhawk jets of Argentina sank British warships in a fleet that has SAM air defense. When a navy has no air force protection it becomes a fat helpless sitting duck. NAF will sink SANs lone ranger frigate in 5 minutes and Mandela will have no navy anymore . |

patches689: First, there is no such thing as the "australian green beret desert special forces", you child. And further - the west never offered intervention forces only assistance.
Second, yes then Cameroon will get help and the people of Cameroon will be safe - while your country burns.
This post by augubugug shows how overly emotional nigerians are - they have no sense, no logic. Did the English turn down American help during the war? Did Vietnam or North Korea turn down Russia? Did Angola turn down Cuba?
You are losing a war and you turn down help?
Fools. Green berets is the common nickname for Australian special forcee you dummy. Nobody helped Nigeria defeat Biafra, nobody is needed to defeat Boko Haram, American help did not defeat Taliban in Afghanistan after 11 years of NATO power show. We are not losing any war with Boko Haram, Great Britain fought 27 long war with IRA terrorists, so 4 years against Bokos is nothing to worry about. Nobody helped Algeria to defeat terrorists in an 11 year war and 150,000 Algerians died. Nigeria needs NO foreign soldiers, we will continue to do things our own way. Anybody with intervention desires can try his luck with Cameroon. Period ! . |

MikeCZAR: 1. Pakistan is no world power.
2. No French territory is in enemy hands.
3. BH isn't launching small scale 4 men attacks, they're openly attacking your army and defeating them.
Capturing your land.
4. Poachers are not fighting SA soldiers. Pakistan is a nuclear power and world power. France had it's capital Paris held to ransom and locked down by only 2 terrorists for several days. Let 1,000 terrorists mixed among civilians rise up with RPG and heavy machine guns inside Paris and let's see French army compared to Nigeria. France is a Christian nation and does not face Nigeria's threat level. Poachers have been sitting down on SANDF owned portion of South African land allocated and gifted to your army by ANC government, the poachers don't even fear your army, they are freeling robbing and stealing and breaking law on army land   Your helpless army is busy with HIV treatment and cannot recapture their land from local hunter poachers. |

patches689: Eye witnesses say that there are 1000's of body's there, CNN, WSJ, BBC, AJ and RT are all carrying that story and running those numbers- so i believe them
With regards to 50 dead, Reuters also said 6 dead
"I saw the bodies of six South African soldiers. They had all been shot. Their vehicles were also destroyed. Other South African soldiers came to recover the bodies," the witness told Reuters. http://www.timeslive.co.za/africa/2013/03/24/six-south-african-soldiers-dead-in-central-african-republic-witness
The loss of 13 men in CAR is undisputed, their names and ranks have been released and no one disputes the number except one journalist whom ruined his career by sending dispatches with incorrect information.

MikeCZAR: Your officers will get into the sea launch those missiles and torpedoes?
Your missiles are expired and have no launch platforms. Aradu is a rusty fish tank.
If two strike craft vessels backed 1 frigate and a replishment ship turned up in your waters, Nigerian navy Chief of stuff would be slapped by Badeh as your oil installations while oil installations are destroyed.
You navy Chief of stuff has no combat capable ships under his combat. I proved other navies that bought Otomat same time with Nigeria are still firing their missiles to show the world they are not expired, I posted a Latino navy doing it here. NAF jets will sink the whole fleet of SAN within 15 minutes and you have no navy from that moment. 1 frigate, no diesel, double trouble for SAN . |

patches689: If memory serves me right, your missile has an inferior seeker, is less maneuverable and is more susceptible to counter-measures. All these critierions combine to make ours superior.
Not to mention that ours also outranges yours.
And we arent even talking about the A-darter yet.
As I have said, the missiles have been compared, yours is inferior. Memory serves you wrong unfortunately. Most technical performance details of PL-9C missile are classified by China, but the bottom line is that it's successful hit on target is 90% . |

patches689: Because South Africa is a free and open country and international new agencies revised their numbers down to 13 once the SANDF (who they trust) released the names and ranks of the deceased.
This is another topic that is not up for debate - all reputable sources state that the casualties are in the 1000's Reputable sources hiding in American and Europe cannot produce reputable data or information in a war zone 10,000 km away in Nigeria. Since ISIS has been beheading white men journalists, which foreign media has ventured into terrorist battle zones? 150 people including Boko fighters died in Baga, that remains the ONLY reputable information from a reputable source from the battlefield, and that is NA DHQ. Reuters is a reputable international European source and their journalist was on the battlefield of Bangui up to the airport where he counted body bags of 50 SANDF killed by Seleka, Reuters NEVER revised the numbers till today, rather they challenge SANDF report of 13 dead. Bags death toll is 150 and no other reputable source exists with boots and legs inside the battle field. CASE CLOSED ! . |

patches689: Nope - its propaganda
NA said their figure is based on photo recon by aircraft, yet they refuse to release the photo's
International Media and NGO figures are based on eye-witness accounts from soldiers and civilians whom were present http://edition.cnn.com/2015/01/13/opinion/boko-haram-7-questions/index.html#
Thus, until concrete proof is give, eye witness accounts remain the strongest indication of the number of casualties - it may not be exact, but it is certainly in the 1000's
I remind you again - this all resulted from your FOB being over-run - you told us it was insignificant, it was in empty desert, so you did not need to hold it. You said it was strategy and tactics - but the fact of the matter is that the FOB was a VITAL instillation protecting a major town and strategic point and you allowed it to be over-run with ease which resulted in the death of THOUSANDS of civilains and the destruction of over a dozen villages and towns!! There is no clearer proof of your military's ineptitude and incompetence - not to mention cowardice - than this entire saga Tell us the names of the eyewitnesses and prove they were in Baga during the war to count dead bodies spread all over a whole town because Baga is not one street, it is a town. In your South African university educational system, when you write a research paper for academic reckoning, anonymous and unidentifiable sources are superior to official reports from world recognized established institutions like Nigerian army and national defense headquarters, right? Eyewitness report says 50 SANDF died in Seleka battle, yet you say only 13 died because that is the report by SANDF. So how does SANDF report become authority but NA report is not? . |
