Hawk uses the Thales Optronics Vicon 18-601E

And in anycase, Gripen can perform ISTAR for the Hawks who can deliver the stand off munitions from 150km away

andrewza:
The hawk normaly uses it's own FLIR cammera.

andrewza:
Show me one gain that nigeria has gotten from a satlite. O I forgot you still can't bring back the girls.

bidexiii:
so u agree there are oly twelve qaulfied gripen pilots ! I like u bro !

mzilakazi:
We do not need satellites to spy we have well trained special forces who specialise in espionage and photography who can even do the excellent job than satellites. In addition, we have drones which can do the job even better.

Meanwhile, SA has satellites which they use for various technological projects and operations ranging from weather broadcast to space technology other than for spying. However, I will do some research to find out if Nigeria has a spy satellite.

andrewza:
Does not matter how many you have. Not even the USA can keep a 100% satellite covrage no one can.

mzilakazi:
We are the pride of the lion. The lion always win and that's what we have achieved with only few casualties in comparison to almost 800 dead rebels.

andrewza:
Again this show you a dumb fuccking dip sshit rettard with no brains who is nothing but a oxgen theif. Countless times we have post links that show.

60% of all gripen maintance is done by denel only the major jobs are done by SAAB.


12 is still more than 11

We have at least 18 trained crews. Probaly more now since more join them each year.

How many times have you had to ground you air craft, who had to go get out side help to maintain there fighters. Fact is a F7 needs maintance. No country can run there air force at 100%, zero zip nada.

andrewza:
Again it uses a SA made sytem.

zaandrew:
Satlites are some of the worst means since they only spend a brief time over there target area. They useless in tactical needs.

zaandrew:
You have 11 F7, but there is between zero and none that all 11 are operational, since there is this thing called maintenance.

zaandrew:
Targeting pod.

andrewza:
Seleka had AKs, PKMs, 12.7mm MGs, 14,5mm MGs, 23mm guns, 30mm MGLs 105mm reciols rifels, mortars

andrewza:
Proove SA solders are sex maniacs.

They look more like solders than the joke called nigeria.

andrewza:
How sttuiped are you. It means you can see some one 2km away. Not a eyeball 2km way.

I don't use no crappy AK47

mzilakazi:
Your F7s cannot discharge missiles. That's simple.

Henry120:
Those cannons atop pick-up trucks eventually ruin/ wrecks those trucks. It isn't sustainable, neither are the isolated cannons on the VBL.

The Igirigi is a wedge with overlapping sides, and a ford F-series vehicle. That's the chasis it's built on.

andrewza:
And what experience did the SA solders who killed thousands of Cubans have. Remember SA had been at peace for has long and did not start there military expansion until the 1970s

I did not say invasion, I said US funded invasion. Learn to read you dip shiit slowpoke

andrewza:
Really? like the Cubans and Angolans did not have any of those? And a rang of SAMs, Fighter jets and a extensive radar coverage. And what AAA does does BH, what have your NAF pilots had to fight.


Satlites are good, but they not the be all end all you think they are. And SA is buying a really Spy sate, not some commercial off the shelf sat Nigeria has.

Really, you do know that you only need to place it in the right locations and then the range is 500km again

you mean 18 to 30km away and they will be pounce on by longer ranged guns and wiped out long before you guns can do any thing, while your presses ATR will be shot down by gripens.

zaandrew:
Yeah cuba had no war experience other than a civil war, a US funded invasion and supporting commie rebels across the world. And you do know most of the SA solders where teenage conscripts to.

zaandrew:
shows just how miss informed you are.

Satlites are some of the worst means since they only spend a brief time over there target area. They useless in tactical needs.

Sure they can, if the satlite is over that area at that time of day meaning the rest of the area is not being watched and rember SA has satlite tracking stations. So we will know where the blind spots are.

And that information is useless, why do you think GPS is used against static targets, I will give you a hint, it the word static.

SAAF Hawks where integrated with the same pods used on the cheeta C.

Other than or range of mobil radars. Any case your ATRs have no means to prosecute targets and there comms can be jammed making them useless. They can see but that is all, And using that radar gives away there position to.

And your point is what? could any of those guys deploy weapons to shoot back at the alpha jets?

And NAF spends there days shooting at pic up trucks where SAAF spends there time training to fight a war vs a actual threat.

zaandrew:
Seleka rebels that though both out numbered us and out gunned us suffered heavy losses.

Rhino poachers are still mostly a SANPARK issue, SANDF only helps out. Either way we still kill and capture hundreds of poachers and we still have more rhinos than the entire world combined.

Not one act of piracy in Angolan waters since our deployment.

Cuba sent there best solders and the USSR spent more money there than in Astan.

Targeting pod.

zaandrew:
Talk about changing the subject.

Easy, by using passive systems.

They don't need to be behind the enemy line, our mobile radar can still cover hundreds KM behind enemy line while being behind our own.

All GPS is run by the USAF, no matter what country, even that garmin you bought uses USAF. By the point is Moot, we use INS to, in fact GPS is a bad idea since EW can effect it.

Actually the hawks do have targeting pods.

Sorry, they have far better systems than your 2 MPAs

Yes you can, SA hit many a moving target in the 1970s and 1980s with out radar, IR or any thing.

Data link is for sending data, including targeting data. Aka here is a target for you to shoot.

Why NATO?

EVarn:
i'm also unimpressed by your poor,clueless and amateurish performance against:
(a) seleka rebels
(b) rhino poachers
(c) pirates in angola coasts
(d) cuban recruits in the angolan war.

boko haram isnt a "rag-tag militant" as you so ignorantly claimed.they are more equipped than your troops in DRC.at least they dont lack tents and fuel,neither are they starved,like your troops.

Master Blaster of the week

zaandrew:
Show me more than 3 NAF F7 in the air

mzilakazi:
I wonder what will a low cost F7 which cannot fire missiles be doing by intercepting Gripen fighter, unless the F7 pilots want to apply for death certificates.

zaandrew:
Sorry you still playing catch up. Sure your 2 MPAs can find targets but that is it. The gripen and hawk can both find and attack said targets. We all so have more tyes of ISRT sytems than you have aircrafts.

patches689:
Training = experience.

Nigeria will be like Libya in a few weeks of combat, unable to respond to death from above
