Butt Hurt ![]() See South Africa face very weak threats, that are far inferior to Boko Haram ![]() "A group of South African soldiers was robbed in South Sudan during a peacekeeping mission, the SA Navy said on Thursday. "There was no loss of life, but some of their equipment was taken away from them," Captain Jaco Theunissen told Sapa. He said the troops were on a convoy when they were ambushed on Saturday." http://www.sowetanlive.co.za/news/2014/02/13/sa-soldiers-robbed.-in-south-sudan?filter=all_comments Consequence of almost ZERO war experience and always sitting down in homeland, at ease ![]() [/size] [img]http://cdn.mg.co.za/crop/content/images/2014/08/28/banguifuneral_landscape.jpg/676x380/[/img] [size=14pt]Meanwhile, this is Nigerian army...[/size] https://fbcdn-photos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/t1.0-0/10371468_605076242933905_3246507154015762139_n.jpg [size=14pt]Who has the best army in Africa ?[/size] . |

"Boko Haram losing grip DAVID MOLOMO, YOLA Sunday, October 12, 2014 Boko Haram losing grip advertisement - Deserter reveals how leadership vacuum, internal squabble, hunger, desertion by members made Adamawa military exploit possible Indications abound that the Nigerian troops are getting upper hand against the Boko Haram sect. Saturday Sun authoritatively gathered that recent breakthroughs by the Nigerian troops is also informed by the demise of a prominent leader of the insurgents, after the death of Abubakar Shekau at Konduga in Borno State. It is suggested that the weakening of the sect also results from power tussle amongst those who are jostling to lead the gang. The development, which our sources said, has led to internecine squabble even among the rank and file in the Boko Haram camp. It will be recalled that, as a result of the friction, which culminated in the fierce battle within their ranks and the death of over 30 insurgents in the process, succession palaver, is also said to have informed the new development. In the circumstances, it would seem that things have begun to fall apart with the terror group. Coupled with all that is the apparent disenchantment by those that were forcefully recruited. For example, there were hundreds that were recruited in Michika and Madagali localities of Adamawa State. According to one of them who deserted the group recently, they were mostly natives who were used by the insurgents to identify houses of prominent figures in government in the two localities and their environs. Some of the indigenes, who were rescued from captivity during an interaction with Saturday Sun, maintained that the recent military breakthroughs were made possible because the cohesion that once existed within the group has begun to weaken and, therefore, the centre is beginning to bottom out. The recruited natives, who claimed that they were hypnotized by the insurgents toward assisting in dishing out vital information, took the advantage of these recent breakthroughs of the troops to escape to Mubi and Yola, the state capital. Aliu Dauda, one of those that escaped, relayed his experience in the camp to Saturday Sun. He said that many of them that were recruited were did not join on their volition. According to him, they hypnotized, using certain liquid substances. "Most youths in Michika were forcefully recruited to join the gang, first as subsidiary staff. Failure to do their bidding attracted lashes or being shot in the leg or confined in an underground detention camp. "We served as informants and any attempt to give out false information will be punished severely. The fact remains that we were placed under a spell, which made it possible for us to obey them. We discovered that we were doing everything they told us without complaints. "I thank God that I survived and now in the midst of our kinsmen who have helped us to recover from the after effect of our abduction," Dauda enthused. Adding, he said: "Those that forcefully recruited us do not have human feelings. While we were in their midst, we could not resist whatever they told us because a liquid substance was given to us." When asked how he was able to escape, he said that, "first and foremost, there were disagreement and disenchantment between the rank and file of the gang and our supposed leaders. Those of us that were newly recruited five months ago, had to escape when it was apparent that Nigerian troops were having an edge over the Boko Haram sect. "At the stage we were, we weren't given arms and ammunitions but rather our assignments were to give out information and identify locations and targets for destruction. We had not graduated to that stage; those recruited in Konduga and Gwoza were our seniors in the business of killing. We that were forcefully recruited in Gulak, Madagali and Michika, were considered not mature or trained to handle weapons or take charge of ammunition." Dauda disclosed to Saturday Sun that hunger and starvation in the camp of the gang immensely contributed to the breakthroughs recorded by the Nigerian side. "As a result of hunger and starvation, the gang allowed the newly recruited to search everywhere for food. We were given this assignment because we are familiar with the localities. We had no choice but to break into people's houses who are our kinsmen to get raw food. Besides, houses of prominent persons in Michika were taken over by the sect." Army recovers more towns, arms and ammunition In recent times, Nigerian troops' successes over the insurgents have reverberated, especially with the capture of two armoured tanks belonging to the sect. Apart from serious casualty figures recorded by the group, the Nigerian military has also captured a massive armoury with arms and ammunitions belonging to the fleeing terrorists. "The large quantities of weapons recovered in the raid are still being evacuated from the scene of the night raid where several terrorists died," Major General Chris Olukolade, the defence spokesman said recently. He added: "Similar operations took place in coordination with the troops of Multinational Joint Task Force in the raids in other camps located on the outskirts of Duguri, Polkime, Malafatori and other locations around the fringes of Lake Chad." He also revealed that substantial amounts of "money in different currencies and denominations were recovered from the camps, while a total of seven terrorists were captured in the operation." The statement also gave an update on the foiled attack on Giwa Barrack in Maiduguri, Olukolade had said: "Troops conducting cordon and search for remnants of the daring terrorists who attacked Giwa Barracks in Maiduguri, had an encounter with some of the surviving terrorists in the general area of Kayamla and Alu Dam on the outskirts of Maiduguri this morning. More of the terrorists have been killed and arrested in the ongoing encounters. He added that more bodies of fleeing terrorists had been discovered along the routes of their escape. Troops' morale and fighting spirit have been further boosted by the outcome of the operations so far, he said, adding that cordon-and-search as well as patrols and pursuit by air and land were continuing in the entire mission area of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states. http://odili.net/news/source/2014/oct/12/504.html .

patches689:You proved nothing ! Mumu ! You did not mention that your claim was in a long war of many years with thousands of American stinger missiles used against the Hind. I showed you that so you can see how poorly you reason. Helicopter is helicopter, they get shpt down easily when air defense is good. The Afghan war Hinds were old version Hinds with no radar warning, laser warning, chaff and flares for counter measures against enemy air defenses. Nigeria is flying the latest and best versions of Hinds and we have all those protection on them, NAF combat helicopters are up to the same standard as the second most powerful country in the world....Russia. Go kiss a frog if envy troubles you...Lady froggie will ease your tensions . |
Patchesagain:Over how many long years of war? And against thousands of American supplied Stinger anti-aircraft missiles in the hands of Mujahideen against the Hind helicopters. "Engineer Ghaffar of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's Hezb-i-Islami, brought down the first Hind gunship with a Stinger on September 25, 1986 near Jalalabad. The Central Intelligence Agency eventually supplied nearly 500 Stingers (some sources claim 1,500–2,000) to the Mujahideen in Afghanistan as part of Operation Cyclone with the supply of 250 launchers." If M23 Had AIM-92 Stinger hand held missiles we would have buried all your Rooivalk pilots in Congo DRC in one day . |

LaBellaMafiaZA:Really? For free? ![]() . |
Patchesagain:Smells like just another Mokopa propaganda ![]() . |
Patchesagain:Helicopters are helicopter, all vulnerable when air defense is present. More Hinds shot down than Apache because more Hinds have fought in wars around the world long before Apache woke up from sleep . |
Patchesagain:....and Ban Ki Moon is on battlefield leading the combat operations for UN forces ? IINSANITY ![]() . |
Patchesagain:Your new source is a mere blog, or does UN operate via a blog? ....and you complain about beegeagle when we post it, now you post an unknown blog here. You are more siick than I thought ![]() . |
Patchesagain:Yes, ordinary Sudanese robbers stripped SANDF of their body armour and guns in daylight....armour ![]() SANDF has only two MGLs and only one AGL recycled in photos. Nigerian AGL photos have been repeated here enough. Nigeria has AK-47 rifle grenades and photos posted on SiriusBlacks thread showing current use against Bokos. FN-FAL has rifle grenade mode, Nigeria used them a lot in Biafran war. We just limited FN FAL to NDA use for now, we tens of thousands of them in stock. It looks special to you? It is an old time thing, even in the hands of civilans ![]()

Patchesagain:Civilians don't lead soldiers on battle field. Ban Ki Moon is not leading FIB forces in Congo . |
Patchesagain:I asked for a UN source and you reply me with a South African website.... You sure you okay upstairs ? . |
MikeZA:Helicopter is helicopter, Mighty Apaches get shot down . |
MikeZA:Nigeria has all those things you listed, most have been shown in photos, except number 1. Rifle grenades are in tens of thousands in Nigerian army FN FAL in stock plenty plenty surplus surplus. You show us South African army amphibious armoured vehicles, just show us one only ![]() .

andrewza:Kindly post a source to prove ALL the above. Thanks . |
Patchesagain:ANC looted most of the money. South Africa has joined the African corruption club in grand style . |
NaijaPikinGidi:[size=14pt]Time Bomb....clock is ticking, one day they could be like Somalia[/size] "In an article on the BBC website, 3rd May, it is claimed that there is a mass return to South Africa by Expats, in what appears to be an almost whitewash of the true situation, with many stunned cries of disbelief and foul play reverberating on Social Media. Based solely on an unsubstantiated claim by Homecoming Revolution, a company whose business it is to encourage ex South Africans (aka SAFFA’s) to return to SA, that some 340,000 have returned to SA in the last decade, the BRITISH journalist, who has only been in South Africa for 10 years, is happy to provide 3 or 4 almost “to good to be true” examples. In fact, it appears one of these “examples” is the CEO and Founder of the Homecoming Revolution company itself! As a service to would be returnee’s and visitors, who could be taken in by this irresponsible reporting, we thought it would be prudent to take off the BBC (rose) coloured glasses and inject some cold hard realities. A simple visit to the Gov.UK Foreign Travel Advice centre includes statements like: South Africa has a very high level of crime, including rape and murder. (It mentions how this is mostly in townships yet the BBC article proudly boasts that one of the “returnees” works in the Township of Kayalitsha!). Incidents of vehicle hi-jacking and robbery are common, particularly after dark. The standard of driving in South Africa can vary greatly and there are many fatal accidents every year. There has been an increase in strike action in South Africa and some demonstrations have turned violent. This could continue in the run-up to elections in 2014. The 2012 UNAIDS Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic estimated that around 5,700,000 adults aged 15 or over in South Africa were living with HIV; the prevalence percentage was estimated at around 17.9 of the adult population compared to the prevalence percentage rate in adults in the UK of around 0.2%. You should exercise normal precautions to avoid exposure to HIV/AIDS. There is no reciprocal health care agreement between the United Kingdom and South Africa. There is a high incidence of credit card fraud and fraud involving ATMs. There is an underlying threat from terrorism. There is a hint in the small and almost reluctant admission that around one in six returnees end up leaving again. There is also the typical, and expected, repudiation of the impact of Affirmative Action that we have come to expect from a left leaning mass media News Company like BBC. Well, if I was of the ilk of that journalist, I would leave the story there and send it to print confidently knowing my editor would consider it valid and politically correct. Job done! However, let’s look a bit deeper. All it takes a couple of keystrokes. No mention is made at all of all those fairly serious precautions regarding crime and health given on the UK.gov Foreign Office website cited above. No mention is made of the fact that South Africa is rated 5 on the GenocideWatch website, having been moved down from 6, which is one step from actual genocide atrocities, last year. No mention is made of the fact that it is, statistically, the most dangerous job in the whole world, of all professions, to be a white farmer in South Africa. No mention is made of the fact that racist laws implemented by the ANC regime, to exclude whites from the workplace, have in fact just recently been extended and strengthened. These include access to educational institutions where top “straight A” students are denied places in favour of less well performing blacks, which are now called “FreeBorns” having been born into and schooled in post apartheid SA. No mention of the fact that if, as an entrepreneur (which one assumes is the target market), you want to start a business in South Africa, you have to give 25% of it to a black shareholder (recently upgraded from 20%) by law. No mention of dozens of reports in recent months alone of foreigners being slaughtered and raped in brutal fashion. No mention of police implication in many crimes, including “recreational” rape. Then there is the deluge of reaction this article has received on Social Networking sites like Facebook and especially in certain groups of users mostly in South Africa, but also from USA, UK, etc. Without fail comment after comment expresses shock with claims that this BBC article is a “total lie”, a “fabrication”, “leftist propaganda”, “Pre Election propaganda” on behalf of the disgraced and corrupt ANC and the publicly derided and often booed Jacob Zuma. They unreservedly deny that a mass return is even taking place, and furthermore that it is irresponsible to even suggest that it is safe to return, especially for whites! So much so that one these groups, with 3,000 members, which was started by Christians from America, who want to highlight and spread awareness of the white genocide taking place in South Africa, and the accompanying media blackout that surrounds this “politically incorrect” topic, have launched a campaign to complain to the BBC, UNESCO, UN, Human Rights commission in SA, and anyone else who will listen, about the danger of this superficial almost advertorial “report” with no consideration to facts. There is another group, Boere Krisis in Aksie (BKA), entirely dedicated to the farm murders with almost 10,000 members as well as a Facebook page with over 91,400 Likes! More telling, is a group started as a call to boycott the Afrikaans monopoly mass media organisation, (Naspers), for their media blackout and denial of this “politically incorrect” hot potato. This group has amassed 22,500 members! Another group called SAFFA Nation Without a State for a BondStaat has started a campaign called “Deed for a deed” whereby every time there is a murder and rape of a white farmer or a home invasion, which is daily, the members are encouraged to respond to that deed by doing some pro-active deed towards attaining self determination (secession) for the “currently disadvantaged” european minority in SA. No mention of the heated arguments going on in the SA media about verification and fabrication of stats. It is well regarded that stats given out by the government are entirely fabricated and most people refer to independent sources for information. Sites like Farmitracker and AfriCheck have sprung up as a result. We could go on ad-infinitum citing examples and facts with many many horrific stories and facts of unspeakable brutality against innocent civilians sometime well into their 80’s! …and we do not have to resort to using staff as an example! Finally, this company, Homecoming Revolution which was started in 2003 by this Ad Exec, who was one example cited in the article, worked for M&C Saatchi in London and went back to South Africa to start M&C Saatchi in 1996. A quick look at their client list and there can be no doubt her, and her team of mostly female executives, obviously know how to pull the punters in. Many of these listed are major government organisations, like ESKOM, the national electricity provider, who are not allowed, by law, to hire white staff. A well known campaign by the SA government is its “Brand SA” and LeadSA campaigns. This same story has been repeated in South African Newspaper the star and online Mail & Guardian who even claim a larger amount, 359,000 have returned since 2008! That is over 5,000 per month! We demand to now where this figure comes from…. One can find videos on Youtube of SA Ambassadors almost begging South Africa’s brains, mostly whites, to return to rebuild the country. Rebuild? Has it been destroyed in the last 20 years then? Also denied. These very people they chased away with their lack of respect for the rights of minorities and their racist legislation. Rewind 20 years, and the BBC was at the absolute crest of the Mandela wave riding high on the legend they created. It appears that just like the Russian Revolution, the Socialists and liberals have once again got it wrong…" . |
andrewza:Nigeria has MGLs too. South African soldiers were robbed by thugs in Sudan who dispossessed SANDF of their weapons and armour ![]() Why do we always find Nigerian soldiers in the hottest war zones on earth, while we find South African soldiers where only armed robber class of conflict exists ? .

lezz:That is their national trademark and symbol . |
LaBellaMafiaZA:You sound more like your world is only rocked with a Plastic V.i.b.r.a.t.o.r . |
GERALD710:A South African company just this month collected $5 million from Nigerian arms buyers using an expired SA company registration which is illegal and criminal. Your own scams includes big time corporate/institutional robbery in broad daylight . |
andrewza:Show me a UN source that confirms that statement . |
andrewza:Submarine is NOT = OPV Anyway, South Africa has no fuel to sustain anti-piracy missions beyond Angola, except if your engines run on Coca Cola ![]() . |
Patchesagain:One day, I will....at my own time....with my gun and uniform. No hurry . |
andrewza:Did I say Hawaii is in Ghana? Good you confessed that is is mostly Asians who are crazy about South Africa. Like the Dalai Lama for whom China commanded Jacob Zuma to deny an entry visa ![]() China too commands South Africa, no wonder Tanzania is judged good enough to lead your 50 million people ![]() . |
Msauza:It actually showed something for it to be ranked biggest . |
ELKASPBG:You dey mind South Africans? Envy will k.ill them because Tanzanian army commander is still leading South African army in Congo as we speak ![]() Nigerian military is confirmed the to be big boss as usual, so we will continue to lead Africa till infinity !!!! .

andrewza: " The military transport helicopter was introduced into the world market in 2002. The helicopter is delivered through the Russian state-owned special exporter Rosoboron export. The Mi-171Sh Terminator was specifically designed for operating in combat missions in local armed conflicts. The design incorporates a five-bladed main rotor, a tail rotor and non-retractable tricycle nose-wheel landing gear. The glassed-in cockpit accommodates three crew and cabin houses up to 36 troops, or up to 12 casualties on stretchers. The helicopters are equipped with modern avionics and instrumental equipment, to operate in all weather conditions at any time of the day. The armour protection provided over the crew cabin and vital units increases the combat survivability of the helicopter. The engine exhaust ducts are equipped with infrared suppression exhaust mixer boxes for a low infrared signature. The helicopter has an IR-decoy dispensing system to counter an infrared homing surface-to-air missile or air-to-air missile. The fuel tank self-sealing covers and polyurethane foam protection avoid the possibility of fuel explosions and leakage in case of combat damage. The Mi-171Sh is armed with a Shturm-V high-precision guided missile system. The missiles can destroy modern battle tanks protected by explosive reactive armour, fortified points and aerial targets ." http://www.army-technology.com/projects/mi-171sh-combat-transport-helicopter/ Let us see how your SAAF old school design Oryx helicopter from recycle factory can beat NAF Terminators. Butt Hurt ![]() .

Patchesagain:I think you are iinsane as usual. Russia NOT Soviet Union, designed and introduced the Terminator in 2002, and it is NOT exactly the same as the old design and old engine Mi-17. Is a 1960 MiG-21 and a 2010 F-7 the same design because they look alike? 2 hardpoints ? You are truly iinsane, Terminator has 6 hard points. Butt-hurt because SAAF does not have a Helicopter with a rear opening landing ramp ![]() .
|
Patchesagain:Terminator has more weapons stations than the Hind and carries more troops, so it is equally an assault helicopter by definition, so you can call it is a 'Giant Hind'. Fool ! Butthurt because SAAF does not have Terminators ![]() .
