zaandrew: I gave you a source a books name, the book(first in last out) covers SA arty from the 1970s to 1989.
any source that all people cannot access on this forum is considered a 419 SCAM, since only you know about this fake book of 100km range G6 artillery, then you are a 419 SCAMMER @andrewza.

all DENEL G6 artillery ranges ever tested are published freely on internet to attract buying customers from all over the world.

DENEL does not market its products inside one secret book of the secret cults grin

zaandrew: I was only pointing out that in accepting armyguides info of FH77 B05 in nigeri's serves you will have to accept that SA has 86 G6s, 524MBTs and host of other stuff not listed any where els.
show us the armyguide weblink source that says south africa has 86 units of G6 artillery, you are telling lies against armyguide just because their website shocked you by saying nigeria has 48 units of Bofors F-77 B05 L52 artillery and that is the best in the whole world. up nigeria !

zaandrew: Go to armyguide. Clike countries then south africa. It is not that hard. Or do you need me to change your dirty diaper to.
i prove you wrong again on artillery arguement, armyguide says south africa has 43 units of G6 artillery and perfectly correct.

armyguide data below

G6 Artillery Quantities:

Country Quantity

OMAN 24
SOUTH AFRICA 43
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES 76

Total: 143

source

http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product2680.html

armyguide is correct about swouth african G6 artillery and equally correct about nigerian Bofors F-77 B05 L52 artillery

stop lying @andrewza, this forum is not a do or die affair, accept nigerian army newly discovered Bofors L52 artillery as a nightmare you have to live with.

zaandrew: Again where is your proof on that cliam. Since we where firing Vlap during the 1980s all ready

Despret? Denel sells shells to a lot of countries including western nastions like germany.


You sure you work in the defence industry?
stop wasting our time with this crap about "do you work in defense industry ?"

i am a civilian, but i will prove any military man to be wrong if he tries to deceive innocent people on this forum.

i said show us a source, reliable source that south african army has the 67km or 73km range artillery shell in service , not the ones in DENEL test laboratory or sales shop where no customer has ever purchased one.

show us source to proof or else you shut up !

we all remember your lies earlier this year that G6 artillery gun has been tested to shell range 100km and you could not give us any single source to prove that for the past 9 months grin

south african army G6 artillery has maximum range shells of 40km only, FACT !!!

Nigeria27: i wanna know about the nigerian army amphibious force what are they ? where do they train ? do they have there own boats ? and are they a speacail force?
a tip of the iceberg for now. expect more from nigerians who will give answers to your questions. just the nigerian U-17 world cup victory celebration that is keeping most naija guys away from forum this weekend.

yes nigerian army amphibious force has its own special assault boats, very modern and world class combat boats, best in africa.

their last major war was in niger delta against militants.

nigerian army has the best amphibious force in africa and one of the best in the world with combat experience from 1967-1970 biafra civil war of 3rd marine (amphibious) commandoes led into battle by general adekunle and later general obasanjo OBJ ex-presido himself.

zaandrew: That 90% is a hit probliet. And does not take consider defensive acstion such has flares, ECM, manvring extra.

Thr ISR-T was built to be able to shoot down other AAMs

SA has the seeker heads of the PLC9. (The fact that you do not fully grasp the importance of this is another resone I doubt you work in the defence industry)

The gripens EW suit, Radar, ergniamics, extra all out class the F7

Again only a fool will think a F7 stands a chance.
in real air combat, when F-7 jet of nigeria and Gripen jet of south africa meet each other, because of their limitations to only visual range weapons availability, it takes only about 20 seconds for the two jets to be hit by the missiles each pilot will fire. its a close range battle and both pilots will go to their grave that same day.

south africa does NOT have any seeker head or component part of PL-9C missile, you may buy another comparable type of missile from a different country in europe or israel, PL-9C is a chinese missile and south africa has NO access to its software codes or component parts.

LG can copy samsung in one product, it does not mean the two products are technically 100% the same thying. use your coconut head once in a while.

you live in dreamland grin

show me 3 sources in war history where in the thousands of air to air dogfight, missile was shooting down missile, except the two opposing missiles collide by accident...fool grin

south africa has NO air force superiority over nigeria. FACT PROVED INTELLIGENTLY ON THIS FORUM.

zaandrew: There is no proof nigeria has B05s, SA was reaching 50km in the 80s all ready(proof is the book first in last out) and there is no resoane SANDF does not have M9703A1 since they mase by denel with RnD money from the army budget.

there is very good proof from THREE DIFFERENT SOURCES that nigeria has Bofors F-77 B05 L52, i repeated it 5 times in 5 days....please shut up.

zaandrew: Did you not say that you can not find infomastion of this type out. That is is not made public. Confirm that is what you said.


Denel is state owened. Any thing in it's stores are goverment owened. Denel all so uses milltary testing grounds, personal and equpment to test stuff.

Why do you think SA does not have the long range shells made by denel?
south african G6 artillery has NO shell in service with range more than that 40km base bleed.

on secret of such in south africa, umkhonto entered service and the whole world hears the noice in public everyday, just google it.

there is NOT 67km or 71km shell in south african army, NOTHING about your G6 shells is classified because DENEL is desperate to get world market.

live with this new fact, this forum has changed to be more realistic than just the earlier pages of copy and paste of weapons photos.

zaandrew: 6000 to to 60? How the hell did they pull that off. Either you were being riped off big time or somthing is wrong. I mean that a big difrence.
the germans, swedish, and british are just ripping off south africa with all those expensive to buy and painfully expensive to maintain weapons they sell to your military and its hard for you to keep the weapons in service, due to lack of cash for regular maintenance.

chinese and indian weapons are cheaper to buy, cheaper to maintain, and tested for combat effectiveness in pre-service trials.

reason nigeria abandoned 18 jaguar jets almost brand new, the british are just cheats and money eaters.

nigeria has learnt her lessons.

generally in nigeria, raw materials are far cheaper than you get the same thing in the rest of the world.

let europe continue to suck and drain south african economy with over-priced weapons and spare parts.

Without an air force to protect the skies over your scorpion tanks,they will be destroyed by air strikes. Nigeria is equipped to fight rebels not well armed and supplied countries. Your lack of proper air force can easily be exploited by any experienced General.

The vulture can operate within a range of 200km. That doesn't mean it will see your artillery at 200km,the drone can operate within that range at different heights meaning during a recce ops Nigerian artillery position can be located within its 200km range of operation. Your artillery men soon turning into prey,for South African G5,G6 and G7 which will be closing in within their effective fire range. The SANDF still has the Ratel EAOS. Nigerian artillery will fire at any direction with hope of hitting a G5/6 and G7 since.
ordinary nigerian Alpha jets will eat all soweto drones for breakfast. F-7 jet will face any Gripen jet. fool grin

nigeria has a very modern computerized Bofors F-77 artillery to match anything from south african G6 artillery.

south africa has NO 67km range shell for G6 artillery, no proof, no source, so no one accepts that you have it in your army. that V-LAP long range shell is only inside DENEL test laboratory and workshop store room hoping to find a buyer without any luck yet grin

Mike..ZA:
Nigeria can't fight the SANDF on land and at sea at the same time. Your stup1d simulation only proved it,by taking all your air force to fight a single Valour class frigate. Your army at field would be harassed by the South African air force.
nigeria has about 60 total newly upgraded jets flying today and combat ready. i used only about 12 in each attack on valour frigates, a mixture of various types including F-7 , Alpha, MBB-339, L-39 jets.

how will south african air force reach lagos to support your suicidal naval blockade with Gripen jet range only 850km, since nigeria is about 5,000km away from the nearest south african air force base grin

Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by agaugust: 9:36pm On Nov 08, 2013
zaandrew: This is from your source. Has in this one you linked.

is estimated to have an attack range of 100km, according to the Canada-based Kanwa Defense Review.(Note estimated)

The enormous leap purported by the new Chinese round could come down to a simple printing error, since "Chinese sales brochures often have spelling errors in their English text."(Note printing error and it offen the case in translastions)
the source from CANADA says this :

"The WS-35 155mm guided round, ammunition designed by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation for People's Liberation Army ground artillery, is estimated to have an attack range of 100km, according to the Canada-based Kanwa Defense Review."

the source from china's enemy TAIWAN is the one you quoted that says the doubt it, but no proof that the douth , a typing translation language error, is true. as long as the doubting thomas cannot prove his imaginary claim of language translation error is true, then the CANADIAN source remains correct.

china has beaten most american and european weapons with range, chinese warships carry anti-ship missiles with range 300km against american/european missile ranges of 200km.

@andrewza, other countries including nigeria, have weapons with ranges beyond your imagination, you just have to live with that fact. simple !

Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by agaugust:
zaandrew: Again never said I would, only that the exalber is not just a round it is a complet sytem. Of witch all users are knowen. It is all so knowen that the FH77 B05 uses the exalber round to achieve 60km.


You just came out and said that the info on shells is not listed now you asking for the SANDFs list of shells? Not to menstion denel is the stas arms company. All there wepaons get test by SANDF members. There is a enter air force squdron just to test there stuff.
countries manufacture their own ammunition and launch it on foreign made weapon platforms.

nigeria produces its own rocket pods for our imported jet fighters to launch.

india produces a 5,000km range ballistic missile, that is more difficult to make than a 60km range artillery shell , you fool grin

india is manufacturing its own Bofors F-77 gun without foreign help, they will easily produce a 60km shell, it does not have to be like guided or complex Excalibur type, the world is full of all kinds of artillery shells you dont know about.

even Iraq in saddams time produced its own chemical warhead artillery shell without american or european help.

artillery shell is NOT a complex thing like a missile, and much cheaper. nigerian PL-9C missile cost $1 million each, while 60km range Excalibur shell costs only $40,000 each....fool grin

long range 60km shell does not have to be guided by GPS, they can be simple unguided munitions. who cares about Excalibur as if its all in all ?

every source i find shows me that south african G6 73km range artillery is NOT a guided shell like Excalibur, it is simple rocket assisted increase in range, NO guidance of any type.

http://www.army-technology.com/projects/g6/


[size=16pt]india has designed and is currently manufacturing its own different types and various ranges of artillery shells for Bofors F-77 guns domestically....you this outdated fool grin

no need for Excalibur shells imports.

http://www.army-technology.com/news/newsindia-develop-indigenous-artillery-shells[/size].


who are the foolish teachers you have in south african schools that tell you that only your country has local technology to manufacture special things ?

all of you must be fools inside that south african cage where your leaders imprison you all and brainwash you with deception about the outside world...fools grin

you think artillery shell is a big deal all over the world ? countries have been firing artillery shell with range 115km since world war II....fool grin

DENEL tested a shell to 67km range does NOT mean south african army has the shell in use.


In year 2008 the American Army tested the "Advanced Modular Gun Demonstrator" that had a range of 135 Km. we do not know if they are actually going to deploy it in service with american army up till today year 2013 since five years ago they tested it successfully.

http://www.menewsline.com/article-953-U-S-Develops-Longest-Range-Artil.aspx

south african artillery range has beed beaten completely by america and china since many years ago. FACT !

stop trying to deceive us here you soweto frauds !

anyway, we are still waiting for source from you to prove south african army purchased 67km range V-LAP artillery shells for its G6 guns.

a simple purchase will NOT be classified, after all, DENEL published that it sold Umkhonto missiles to south african navy and the navy proudly declared to the whole world that it purchased the missile and is in use now on valour frigate warships.

show us source proof of the 67km range shell in south african army service, DENEL does not give out free father christmas weapons, show us the proof that it was sold and is in service....

....otherwise this forum declares that south african army has NO 67km or 73km range artillery shell in service until proved with source . FACT !!

nigerian Bofors F-77 L52 gun has range 60km. FACT PROVED WITH SOURCE.


http://www.armyrecognition.com/united_kingdom_british_light_heavy_weapons_army_uk/fh77_b05_l52_towed_howitzer_bae_systems_data_sheet_des

shells for that range on nigerian and indian Bofors F-77, nobody knows who has it as at today.

china builds its own 100km range artillery shells, india has same capacity to built 60km range shells for Bofors. india locally upgraded her own british jaguar jets and turned them into advanced modern jet fighters.

both china and india are nigeria's main weapons suppliers.

you will NEVER know the full details of any country's artillery shells, no records anywhere on internet.

now, show us reliable source to prove that south african army has 67km or 73km artillery shells in use/service today for its G6 artillery, NOT the shells that DENEL keeps in its test laboratory or its sales shop looking for buyers around the world.

show us proof that south african army has shell to fire up to 67km.

dont tell us the information is classified, because we will reply you that nigerian army Bofors shells for range 60km is also classified information.

equation balanced. case closed.

no single website in this world can list all nigerian weapons 100% complete.

you have to pick bits and pieces from many different sources, but beegeagle is more accurate than most foreign websites because he has high level connections to nigerian military senior officers who give him information because he is recognized and accepted in nigerian defence industry as a very competent military expert/analyst.

T-72 tanks

AMX-30 tanks

"The FH 77B05 L52 is a further development of the successful FH 77B02 L39 howitzer system.

The system meets or supersedes all requirements for a modern, towed artillery system, which is made possible through a number of improvements.

Most of the procedures to control the FH77 B05 are automatic, like indirect laying, execution of MRSI firings etc. The automation will improve speed, accuracy and safety when firing. The operator also will have access to manuals stored in the computer. The new gun computer has a man-machine inter-face similar with the standard commercial PCs, which facilitates the training and operation of the computer.

The new upgraded howitzer, FH77 B05, has all round greater performance including increased range over the 39cal FH77 B02. It is intended that Defence Land Systems India would have a significant and increasing role in the production of FH77 B05, toward the intended goal of Defence Land Systems India becoming an artillery centre of excellence in India. The FH77 B05 meets and exceeds specifications in the Indian environment (winter and summer) and has already been proven in earlier trials in India. The FH77 B05 will be manufactured and marketed in India by Defense Land Systems India, BAE's joint venture with Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd.

One of the most important attributes of the Field Howitzer 77B05 is the high rate of fire, i.e. its ability to fire a great number of rounds in a specified time, and MRSI (Multiple Round Simultaneous Impact). The FH77 B05 has been optimized and tested to be used in extreme weather conditions, including the desert and higher altitudes. "


Description

The FH77 B05 has been optimized and tested to be used in extreme weather conditions, including the desert and higher altitudes.

Gun

The FH77 B05 towed howitzer is equipped with a 155 mm L/52 barrel. The longer barrel and larger chamber volume result in extended firing range of more than 40 km and enable firing of the next generation smart ammunition.

Mobility

For long distance, a cross country truck tows the FH77B05. The towing truck and gun can travel at the speed of 80 km/h. For short periods of time and when road conditions allow, the speed can increase. For cross-country driving, the gun can be tandem-driven from the towing truck. The FH77 B05 has a high powered engine which has been turbo charged for high altitude requirements and is capable of aiming direct fire at moving targets as well. Maximum speed is about 8 km/h and cross-country mobility is excellent. Over short distances, the gun can be driven independently at speeds of up to 8 km/h. For deploy/redeployment the gun uses its own power unit. Gun in/out of action time (trained crew) is less than 90 seconds.

Accessories

The FH77 B05 is provided with its own navigation, positioning, and aligning system to achieve optimized accuracy performing multi-round simultaneous impact. The new gun computer has a man-machine inter-face similar with the standard commercial PCs, which facilitates the training and operation of the computer.

Combat use

Most of the procedures to control the FH77 B05 are automatic, like indirect laying, execution of MRSI firings etc. The automation will improve speed, accuracy and safety when firing. The operator also will have access to manuals stored in the computer. The new gun computer has a man-machine inter-face similar with the standard commercial PCs, which facilitates the training and operation of the computer.

Integrated navigation, positioning and aligning system and onboard ballistic calculation
Automatic servo controlled laying
Intra-howitzer radio communication
Intra-battery communication > 5 km
Handles modular charges and bag charges
Spares and logistics similar to FH77B
Direct firing capability out to 2 km
MRSI capability, up to 5 hits in a target momentarily

MOBILITY

Over long distances, a cross country truck tows the gun.

The towing truck and gun can travel at the speed of 80 km/h. For short periods of time and when road conditions allow, the speed can increase.

For cross-country driving, the gun can be tandem-driven from the towing truck. Maximum speed is about 8 km/h and cross-country mobility is excellent.

Over short distances, the gun can be driven independently at speeds of up to 8 km/h.

For deploy/redeployment the gun uses its own power unit.

Gun in/out of action time (trained crew) is less than 90 seconds.

FIRING

One of the most important attributes of the Field Howitzer 77B05 is the high rate of fire, i.e. its ability to fire a great number of rounds in a specified time, and MRSI (Multiple Round Simultaneous Impact).

The gun has an automatic laying system with on-board ballistic calculation.

Howitzer Computer Unit (HCU)
The HCU contains the GUI (Gun Users Interface) software and the software for ballistic calculations. It also handles communication with:

CCM (Control Computer Module) controlling the system for loading, laying and firing, and also receives data from the INS
Laser Range Finder
Muzzle Velocity System
Barrel Temperature Sensor
MRR for sending and receiving data messages
HCU
Processor Intel Pentium III 500 MHz

Ram 256 MB SDRAM
HDD 10 GB removable
Power specification 10 - 30 VDC with 5 min UPS
CCM

Power card Convert 24 V to 5 V
CPU card
CPU TMS320C32, 50 MHz, 512 kB EEPROM
Logic card Signals IN/OUT
Gun laying is carried out hydraulically using variable servo valves. Laying can be carried out using the following modes:

Normal:
Automatic laying by the HCU. The HCU calculates obtained firing data, prevents laying outside the gun’s laying and firing limitations and automatically lays onto target.

Direct Fire:
When laying using the joystick, the HCU calculates the ?ring data automatically and aiming takes place with no further action. The HCU prevents laying outside the gun’s laying and ?ring limitations.

Technician’s mode:
Manual laying using the joystick - will override laying and firing limitations.

SPECIFICATIONS

Barrel length (calibres) 52

zaandrew: That infomastion would be clasfied, the fact denel makes and sells the longest ranged 155mm shells is not.

You correct but the excalber is not just a shell it is a sytem and it is a very closly gaurded one with only a few countries useing it since both sweden and america do not want it falling in to the hands of some one who will copy it. Every user of the round is knowen but how many each user has is not.
hahaha grin

now you say the information about south african 73km shells for G6 artillery is classified ? when did south african military start hiding simple information ?

ask @THIZA, he will tell you DENEL is desperate to market that 73km range shell and the G6 artillery for 73km long range to any ready buyer in world market today.

classified ? when we said nigerian EPE missile/rocket current test range is classifies, you and your buffoon south african friends especially that coconut brain @saengine were all shouting us down and calling it fake.


see here mister fool, different countries are making different shells for artillery and they dont come to your house to tell you about it, china has the longest range artillery shell in the world, NOT sweden/american Excalibur 60km, NOT south african DENEL G6 V-LAP 73km shells, the longest range shell and artillery is made in CHINA with range 100km !!!

china has the best artillery range in the world , you did not know about their shell, you boast of DENEL 73km, i said you are completely out-dated on current artillery development worldwide, mister @andrewza you are completely lost in time grin

SOURCE : http://www.wantchinatimes.com/news-subclass-cnt.aspx?id=20130701000036&cid=1101



now i say, south african army 73km range shell for G6 artillery is NOT found to be in service with your army, it is only in DENEL testing laboratory and warehouse until aosuth african army buys one and we get source that they bought it.

manufacturing and testing a weapon does NOT mean your military has it for use in their armoury in case of war.

nigeria manufactures PROFORCE MISSILE CARRIER ARMOURED VEHICLE since last year but it us not yet in nigerian army armoury.

dont ever in your life try to come here again and tell us you counted any country's artillery shells and know all the ranges they have. how will you get that information ?

show us here now the shells that united arab emirate and oman are using for their G6 artillery, show us the details with source to prove that the two arab countries armies have or dont have 73km or 67km range shells for the G6 artillery guns they bought from DENEL

122mm, 107mm MRLS extra. The AO is so small that the range benfit of say a FH77 will be meanless. In DRC you want light guns not big heavy long range stuff.

Up to 37mm, they don't have radar but nore do we have jets there. This is slow moving choppers.
desperate to create a big war picture for south african cowardly ANC guerrilla men turned into a half baked army grin

you want to deceive people here and make M23 rebels look powerful like Kenyan army grin

show us source to prove all the above weapons you now claim M23 rebels have, source of the named weapons and the numbers, plus a proof that they are all operational.

same way you ask us to prove nigerian weapons when we claim anything grin

photo of the 'MIGHTY M23 REBELS SUPER MOBILE ROCKET ARTILLERY MRLS OF ANDREWZA' is shown below grin

chris365: Look. if it was the defunct SADF, about 30 dead soldiers is enough reason for them to bomb bangui to stone age. They wouldn't be scared of reactions from France. Just like SADF went into Angola with full knowledge they risked going to war with Russia.

SANDF fled from CAR after seleka dared it by brutally killing almost 30 of it's troops and displayed captured equipments for the whole world to see. Is that not enough disappointment?

Now you want to beat your chest from a battle you saw from last row seat. Abeg take your propaganda to your fellow gullible south Africans.
you finish dem 4 soweto republic, pretoria in tears grin

now that you want to claim fake victory for your half soweto-half french helicopter gunship, you confess that Rooivalk is a slow helicopter, was it not you that was boasting during naval blockade combat against nigerian coastal artillery, that it carries some imaginary air to air missiles and you used it to challenge a supersonic speed nigerian F-7 jet ?

i told you then that helicopters dont fight against jets, you were telling some foolish story about iran-iraq war and saying things opposite to world military combat tactic/principles.

now you have finally exposed your own foolishness grin

zaandrew: The mig21-97 can fire BVRMs somthing the J7 can not do. The USAF where impresed by indias so yeah weaker my ass. Has I said the J7 is no difrent from a Mig21.
there are F-7 Jets with 37km radar that is BVR, and they will fire a chinese BVRM . google is your friend.

no MiG 21 has the F-7 swept wing of nigeria's type, MiG 21 is delta wing, a major superiority for F-7 jet in dogfight and ground attack where vert tactical maneuver is required to evade or attack the enemy target.

if MiG 21 is better than F-7, china will fill up its air force with MiG 21 instead of the F-7 jets that is still china's largest jet force till year 2015.

Oh I know you meant "heartbreaking for my country" instead of noise. MR JARE deliver facts please. Nigeria can't fight the SANDF in the sea and on the land at the same time. Meaning heavy weapons(tanks,IFVs,SP howitzers and jets) coming by sea won't reach Nigeria,cause SAN will blockade your seas. GET IThuh? YOU GOT IThuh?
hahaha grin grin south african navy blockade of nigerian sea/ocean ? you say that again on this forum ? see why i call you papa ajasco grin

M23 looted a lot of weapons when they pulled out of the city of Goma. Some ammunition stocks were carried back to Goma this week from captured positions. But after the Rooivalks proved their philosophy of "not to be seen,and able to detect and fire first",the M23 simply realised that they were indeed facing with the "flying devil" and surrender was their only option.
M23 rebels have no single radar ! thats why they did not see the Rooivalk helicopter coming.

try fly that your half french tin can against ordinary Kenyan army and see how missiles will eat up your soweto helicopter for breakfast cheesy
