patches689: We can pen.etrate it with ease buddy

Nope, ALL South African Missiles can penetrate ONLY reactive armour RHA, you CANNOT penetrate composite armour of the T-84 Oplot Tank.

T-84 tank has all 3 types of armour on one tank. T-84 armour = RHA + Steel + Composite .

ATGM Mokopa or Ingwe CANNOT penetrate Multi-layered Composite armour of steel mixed with ceramic and plastic of T-84 Tank, the tank is as armoured as NATO tanks like M1A1 Abrams tank with composite armour.

T-84 is immune to even the French Milan anti-tank missiles South Africa just bought around 2003 with upgrades.

Problem for your SANDF is the Varta anti-missile jammer of Nigeria's T-84 tank, NO missile can be fired on the tank, the Varta will disable ALL enemy targeting systems and jam all missile launch systems from enemy tanks, artillery, jet fighters and helicopters. T-84 tank has laser warning and laser jammer systems, it is the best tank in Africa and one of the best in the world.....South African tanks are now out-dated and you have NOTHING compared to Nigeria, we have over-taken you from behind

"Composite armor is formed by spacing multiple layers of various alloys of steel, ceramics, plastic composites, and kevlar, giving an estimated maximum (frontal turret) 1,320–1,620 millimetres (52–64 in) of RHA versus HEAT (and other chemical energy rounds) and 940–960 mm (37–38 in) versus kinetic energy penetrators."

"Oplot features a Varta Optronic Counter-Measures system for deceiving incoming missiles and anti-tank guided weapons. The system integrates laser warning sensors, infra-red jammer and smoke / aerosol screen laying system. The optronic countermeasure system provides:

confusing of the guidance systems of ATGM by putting out laser jamming covering the horizontal plane of ±18° relative to the main gun tube and ±2° in the vertical plane jamming of the ATGM guidance systems that use laser illumination of targets, semi-automatic laser guided homing projectiles as well as artillery systems equipped with laser range-finders by activating the remote fast-deploying aerosol screens in a sector of ±45° relative to the main gun tube."

[size=14pt]Nigeria now has T-84 tank that ALL South African weapons CANNOT penetrate.....

We are coming to invade South Africa and drive around your cities as your new lords and masters....

Nigerian army now unstoppable !
. [/size]

Patchesagain: "Any [Nigerian] can edit wiki"

Show us proof

My pleasure...

"The Oplot is fitted with an integrated vehicle protection system, which includes passive armour , explosive reactive armour array as well as a number of other tank protection devices that are optimised against modern anti-tank weapons and make the tank considerably less vulnerable to the full range of anti-tank weapons.

The armour protection of the Oplot, which includes advanced multi-layer armour and built-in third generation explosive reactive armour package for the turret and chassis, provides to the Oplot a high level of battlefield survivability. The main armour is a laminated ‘sandwich’ of armoured plate and ceramics which gives the tank superior ballistic protection against most forms of attack greatly reducing penetration and behind armour effect."

Enjoy this composite armour before we use it to R.ape SANDF in Dogggy style as destroy ALL South African MRAPS, Olifant tanks, Ratel IFV, Rooikat TD, G-6 artillery......we will bundle Jacob Zuma to Abuja in our T-84 super tank !

.

Patchesagain: While you are behaving like a clown

let me remind you:

1. You dont actually have the T-84
2. It doesnt have composite armor - layered =/= composite

Fool, Liar

Nigerian army's new T-84 tanks has powerful combination of 3 different armours, Steel, Composite, ERA. All on one k.iller tank !

Enjoy proof of Nigeria's T-84 tank Composite armour, we will mass R.ape South African army with our Voltron Defender of the universe

.

Patchesagain: lol no we wont

You say Nigeria had Tucano's and T-72's last year - and yet it does not show up on SIPRI

in anycase would a responsible person not wait until they can prove they have what they say they have?

Proof is that people who know these weapons say them face to face, that is proof, seeing is believing.

Fact that you have never seen Yvonne Chaka Chaka's NNIPPLES does not mean she does not have two units, another man has been seeing them under her clothes and he is a reliable source.

Super Tucano was sighted this year around April-May, SIPRI compiles January to March and published update in April. It will miss Tucano.

T-72 is about to be unleashed in North East war together with BM-30 Smerch 90km long range artillery, I have not posted that yet, people have seen T-72 in Nigeria this month. Slowly we will unleash and photos will follow....Nigeria is building Africa's best army now !

Dis you every see Nigeria's old SA-7 missiles and Type 90 AAA artillery on SIPRI ?

Fool, SIPRI is your lord, no wonder the Boer White-man calls you coloureds Dog-Food
.

NE war zone. O boy, dig that defense line trench deep o, or else it becomes a shallow grave

denisfidha: Tanzania SA-6 Gainfull - medium range

Wow ! I have been praying to see this. Tanzania has one of the best 5 air defenses in Africa. Thanks.

Patchesagain: And yes, the Ingwe and Mokopa can penetrate T-84 tank:

Ingwe:

This is fitted with the same HEAT warhead (with the option of a new HEAT warhead) and a nose mounted precursor charge. It is estimated that this warhead will penetrate around 1,000 mm of RHA protected by ERA
http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product2101.html

Conclusion: Ingwe can penetrate it

Mokopa:

The primary role will be anti-armour for which a tandem High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) warhead able to penetrate over 1,350 mm of rolled homogenous steel armour, protected by Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA)
http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product869.html

Conclusion: Mokopa can penetrate it

Milan ER:

"The warhead can penetrate 1m explosive reactive armour (ERA) or rolled homogenous armour, or over 3m of reinforced concrete."
http://www.army-technology.com/projects/milan-er-extended-response-anti-tank-missile-system/

Conclusion: Milan ER can penetrate it

And 11 Rooivalks armed with up to 12 Makopa each are more than enough to handle 2 T-82's

Infact, they could handle 132 of them in just one attack

And lets not even talk about what a Paveway dropped from a Gripen will do to it


Keep dreaming kid

[size=14pt]No way ignorant bush man !

Now I know South Africa does NOT have any tank like Nigeria's modern T-84 Oplot.

Our new tank CANNOT be penetrated by any weapon or missile in Africa !

Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) is out-dated when used alone....

Nigeria's T-84 Oplot has 3 different types of armour combination.


1. Composite multi-layer armour
2. ERA armour
3. Rolled Steel

All three types of armour built into one single Nigerian army tank ! Wow ! Best tank in Africa !


You just wasted your time writing a useless analysis of South African anti-tank missiles Ingwe and Mokopa or Milan that CANNOT penetrate modern day Multi-Layer Composite armour of Nigerian T-84

Your missiles are built to penetrate only ERA...Explosive Reactive Armour....Reactive armour, but unfortunately for SANDF our new Naija super tank has multi-layer Composite Non-Reactive armour on all vital areas....Passive armour multi-layers is on Nigerian army's mighty T-84 tank o ! Yeeeeeh !! South African army is finished ooooo !!

South African anti-tank missiles have failed, your army in now defenseless against the onslaught of Nigerian army T-84 ultra-modern tanks.

Gripen jet bombs CANNOT penetrate our T-84 tank o !

Nigerian army T-84 has composite impenetrable armour, and more than that....

Our T-84 has new generation self-protection anti-laser and anti-missile weapon called Varta Optronics Counter-measures, it will jam all missile guidance systems directed at the tank from enemy tanks, IFV, jet fighters, helicopters, artillery, ATGM infantry mobile launchers.... nothing can penetrate Nigerian army's new world class Tank that South Africa does NOT have !

"Protection

The protection system includes :

Multi-layer passive armour,

Nozh-2 explosive reactive armour

Zaslon active protection system

Varta Optronic Counter-Measures System and other tank protection means.

Built-in new generation Nozh-2 anti-tandem-warhead explosive reactive armour protects against APFSDS, (HESH) or high-explosive plastic (HEP) and HEAT-type projectiles.

Nozh-2 ensures protection against:

hand anti-tank grenades, hand-held and stationary grenade launchers and recoilless guns (including ammunition with tandem warheads)

anti-tank missiles of TOW-2, MILAN and Shturm-S type

HEAT projectiles fired by 125 mm tank smoothbore guns

APFSDS projectiles fire by 125 mm and 120 mm tank guns

Both sides of the driver's compartment are fitted with explosive reactive armour panels for extended protection. The hull sides are hinged with large rubber skirts to withstand the attacks of man-portable anti-tank weapons.

Oplot features a Varta optronic countermeasures system for deceiving incoming missiles and anti-tank guided weapons.

The system integrates laser warning sensors, infra-red jammer and smoke / aerosol screen laying system. The Cptronic countermeasure system provides:

confusing of the guidance systems of ATGM by putting out laser jamming covering the horizontal plane of ±18° relative to the main gun tube and ±2° in the vertical plane jamming of the ATGM guidance systems that use laser illumination of targets, semi-automatic laser guided homing projectiles as well as artillery systems equipped with laser range-finders by activating the remote fast-deploying aerosol screens in a sector of ±45° relative to the main gun tube."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-84

All South African weapons CANNOT penetrate Nigerian army's new T-84 Oplot tank oooo !

We will drive this new T-84 tank from Cape Town to Johannesburg to Durban to Soweto to Pretoria where we will Capture Jacob Zuma and ship him to Abuja !

Patchesagain: lol - you have one untrusted source that says two were sent. Will 2 make a difference?

I challenge you to find a reputable source: SIPRI, Janes ect

Its just another mythical aquisition in line with the T-72's

Bwahahaha

Illiterate mugu, SIPRI cannot post any of the new Nigerian weapons, or do you see our BigFoot MRAP on SIPRI database? No ! SIPRI database is updated only once a year around Spring Season which is April .

You will not see Nigeria's new Super Tucano, JF-17 Thunder, Su-30 Flanker, Mi-35M Hind E, T-84 Oplot, T-72, BM-30 Smerch on SIPRI arms transfer database until April 2015 next year.....Fool of Gauteng
.

MikeZA: The Badger IFV was chosen. Which is more expensive,and proves that affordability isn't a factor at all.

It might be chosen as replacement for the APC replacement project.

You thought in your standards that the Mbombe is really awesome,and the SA army should run make orders? LOL

SMART BUYERS.

Jordan has already ordered more 40 of them. What failure are you talking about?

One buyer out of 150 countries is NOT smart

40 units sale of an IFV that cost millions of dollars to develop, is a near business failure. That is how DENEL entered into debt and collapsed before SA government bailed it out with cash handout
.

MikeZA: what's this obsession you have on the Mbombe APC? Love it?

It isn't an MRAP.

Whatever it is IFV or whatever, it is almost another Rooivalk failure...rejected by SANDF because they cannot afford it
.

MikeZA: If South Africans behaved like Nigerians.

And I was post the pictures I took and links for new weapon systems revealed at the AAD,some Nigerian would collapse and die of hatred.

From the Badger IFV,new UAVs,New MRAPS,New missiles etc

Weapons and Equipment displayed at arms manufacturers marketing show are NOT in the arsenal of SANDF.

Example is your Mbombe MRAP, we see photos of it, but SANDF refused to buy.

Arms Producers' Marketing Show =/= Army Armoury

SANDF is busy retrenching soldiers, and postponing ALL weapons/equipment purchases.

ONLY NIGERIAN MILITARY IS BUYING WEAPONS NOW

.

MikeZA: I prefer this systems over -200km range cruise missiles.

As they're far cheaper.

SAAF still has need for such weapons. Coupled with aerial refuelling any Sub-saharan African country hoping to distabilise any SADC country,will sure know a strong punch from the South is coming.

#SANDF IsBroke YouWill BuyNothing New....Only Nigeria BuysNew Weapons

.

GreenandGold: Cocktail buying as usual, 20 of this, 11 of that then 9 of something else..

The Nigerian Army doesn't need tanks for it current threat, but anyway whom am I telling? No one in Nigeria seems to listen.

The cocktail buying I know is of South Africa with ONE SINGLE MISSILE ONLY for each Gripen jet

.

GreenandGold: Like South Africa? Lets see;

Military

- We fought the Germans (twice)
- We fought the Italians
- We fought the Koreans
- We fought the Cubans

Which of the above have you fought? The SANDF can take Abuja with less resistance, you would have fled to your neighbors.

Nigerian army fought with tens of thousands of soldiers in world war I and world war II, we fought against Germany and Japan.

World war I and II South Africa did NOT fight alone, I posted your men mixed with British and Americans leading you in those wars.

About 90% of American combat aircraft gifted to South African air force were s.hot down by North Koreans, SAAF has very poor record of dying like flies anywhere they face enemy anti-aircraft guns.

Cuba almost defeated South Africa in Bush war and your country had to run to peace negotiation table to avoid further disgrace.

The war history of South Africa's past is as bad as it's present Seleka war record

Please stop posting ancient war history of dead South African men that CANNOT wake up and fight today !

#ShowUs War SANDF IsFighting AloneToday 2014
.

GreenandGold: Do you know what a Data Link is? You're probably confusing it with an email link to a 419 phishing site. We can kindly explain what it is.

South Africa has NEVER used data-link for us to see, the only functioning data-link we see is that of Nigerian navy and air force communication and passing real time information leading to the locating and capture of pirate hijacked European ship right inside Angolan waters in your own SADC region of influence

Your SANDF data-link is dead if it ever existed at all.

GreenandGold: You mean you served your colonial masters well in Burma? .. faithful niggas, you will get bananas for that.

South Africans blacks and coloured people were faithful Dog Meat for the Boer White-Man's guard dogs to eat.

Henry120: You only got 10 half-french helicopters for a 471, 359 sq land mass. Fact. Pathetic limousine airforce.

It is 3 times worse than that oga, South African land mass is about 1.2 million sq km and protected by a pitiable 10 units of Roiivalks

Also, all South African Gripen jets have ONLY one single missile each. Guinness Book Of World Records missile shortage
.

dragon2: @agaugust
It seems as though T-72's are on the way together with MLRS(BM-27&30) and Shilka's,not yet official though.Check the usual.

Yes my boss, thank you. I saw it 'on the other side' ....sweet news. We are gonna use Boko to make war history, fasted defeat of Islamic insurgency in the Guinness Book of war records !

We are expecting official confirmation of the 90km rocket artillery range that will wipe out all SANDF 39km G-6 Rhino fat cows
.

Patchesagain: 2 T-80s?

And how are they relevant?

2 Ingwe or 2 Makopa and they are gone

Remember that South Africa has a long history of defeating Armor with IFV's

Get back to us when you have a couple hundred

No, you get back to us when you have 40 Rooivalk helicopter gunships

Nigeria has no tank purchase of only 2 units in our history, minimum number we ever purchased is 136 units.

The T-84 is urgently needed in war zone, so first 2 units are being sent by air, normal tank purchase is shipped by sea.

Don't die yet my brother, stay alive to see the remaining battalions of T-84 enter Nigerian army service in a few weeks from now.

Our T-84 tank CANNOT be penetrated by any anti-tank missile in Africa including SANDF Milan ATGM, this Nigerian tanks will invade South Africa and drive freely from Cape Town to Durban to Soweto to Pretoria and NOTHING can defeat then, it cannot be penetrated by the HEAT shells of your 105mm Olifant tank, it has Composite armour....

Nigeria now has the best tank in Africa, South Africa is now the rag tag army with old out-dated weapons, wow !

The tables have turned on this thread and is still turning faster every day

South Africa is finished !

"(CNN) -- Nigerian government officials and the International Committee of the Red Cross have had talks with Boko Haram about swapping prisoners of the Islamist terror group for the more than 200 Chibok school girls kidnapped in April, a source involved in the negotiations told CNN."

"No fewer than 400 members of the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram were reportedly killed in their latest clash with soldiers of the Nigerian 7 division.

The insurgents fell to the officers who ambushed them while they tried to attack Konduga local government area of Borno central senatorial district.

Locals also said, that, they attempted to attack Konduga from two directions with over 500 fighters when the military fought and defended the local government, killing over 200 before the insurgents retreated.


DailyPost also gathered that, after the attack was repelled, some of them went through the forest and were heading towards Mafa local government area when soldiers laid ambush on them again, killing over 100 while the rest escaped with bullet wounds.

In another development, over 100 sect members who came up to attack travelers along Maiduguri- Potiskum road met their Waterloo when the detachment along that route engaged them in a fierce battle, killing all of them."

DieVluit: DCD launches Testudo unmanned ground vehicle



DCD Protected Mobility is displaying its new Testudo unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) at the Africa Aerospace and Defence (AAD) 2014 exhibition. It has been designed for civil and military mission, such as explosives disposal, reconnaissance, mine surveying and search and rescue.

The Testudo UGV was launched as part of an exclusive military marketing agreement between DCD Protected Mobility and CMTI Design and Consulting Engineers, which specialises in multi-disciplinary services packaged to meet individual project requirements, DCD said.

DCD Protected Mobility general manager Andrew Mears points out that the Testudo is designed for the military, and tested in the hard rock mines of South Africa. “Its unparalleled ruggedness and versatility ensures that it is capable of negating the harshest environments,” he explained.

CMTI CEO Danie Burger added that the Testudo can be equipped with a variety of work tools that can be customised to clients’ needs with minimal effort. He states: “Available in remote-controlled or autonomous options, the Testudo boasts exceptional cross-country capability, thanks to its four industrial-style excavator tracks.”

“These tracks, which are individually driven for exceptional flexibility in breaching obstacles as high as 400 mm, are driven by high torque motors to ensure a load carrying capacity of 150 kg and a top speed of more than 6 km/h. What’s more, the Testudo is powered by 60 Ah LiFeMgPO4 batteries, which can last for up to six hours on one single charge,” Mears said. The Testudo weighs 260 kg, is 410 mm in height and features a track width of 172 mm.

Mears added that the Testudo is designed according to a ‘plug-and-play’ philosophy. “All four flippers can be removed within minutes and replaced with a complete service exchange. In order to ensure a greater degree of simplicity, off-the-shelf components are available to a large extent,” he said.

Testudo is Latin for ‘tortoise’, and is also a name for a species of tortoises found in Africa, Asia, and Europe. In Ancient Roman warfare, Roman Legions made use of the Testudo formation – where men would align their shields to form a packed formation covered with shields on the front and top, thereby forming an almost impenetrable armoured shield similar to that of a tortoise’s shell.

In addition to the Testudo, DCD Protected Mobility officially launched its new medium sized utility truck (MUT), the Oribi, at AAD. The company also officially launched the first entirely autonomous Husky mine detection vehicle at the exhibition.

Nigerian air force built that device two years ago, come to and learn trade secrets
