saengine: Post an official link showing Nigeria with 120km cruise missiles. I dare you.you dont need to dare anybody mr.fool, the guardian newspaper source quoted the Epe project site officials clearly saying that the nigerian missile details are secret until our federal government is ready to publish full details. it also states that the test site has been moved away from the main Epe land base to a more water surrounded island near Epe but cut off from any land access, so that it becomes even more secret. nobody is allowed to get any information for the public......wisdom of a wise nigeria. nigeria is not foolish like south africa, even the dead Thorgos missile of south africa is posted on internet with 300km range...a dead missile project that has been buried in its final grave, posted as a 300km range missile.....fools of soweto  . |

saengine: 1. Why you are talking about Starstreak is beyond me. Are you now claiming that Nigeria is developing surface to air missiles? Starstreak and Nigerian fireworks are in a completely different class. Infact it is an insult to British engineers that you even dare mention their product while talking about Nigerian fireworks.now this is one of your foolish posts in july/august about nigerian Epe tested missiles... saengine: I'm not talking about picture posting forums like nairaland. I'm talking about accredited institutions like Janes Defence. No matter how secret a project is, there is always talk and speculation about what the programme might be. What the capabilities might be etc etc. Forums like nairaland get defence information long after it has been circulated in defence circles. If Nigeria had a budding missile building industry the world would know about it, or know of it.the above is one of the many nonsense comments you have been posting just to discredit the nigerian missile project simply because i proved that @THIZA's posted photos/comment called Thorgo Ballistic missile of south africa is as dead as an egyptian mummy in a desert pyramid beegeagle is NOT like nairaland, he does not think about national pride or ego, he publishes only what he knows, and he has contacts in the nigerian military and state secret service SSS. his comments are very credible and he declared nigerian Epe missiles have range of 70km as at year 2012, and he was corrected by his own inner circle who know of the year 2013 range of 120km. nigeria has missile technology. all missiles fly by a rocket propulsion system. all rockets are missiles. guided rockets are also called guided missiles. a country like nigeria that has developed local technology to guide an unmanned Amebo-III Drone UAV for 4 hour flight in the air, will also guide an unmanned rocket for 5 minutes in the air....fact !!!! fool, it takes only extra size and extra fuel tank to make a missile fly longer range from say 10km to 100km, you just add 10 times more fuel, or you upgrade engine to do lower combustion and extend endurance...fool, you dont know physics in south africa....nigerian science teachers are being imported to teach all of you one day i will 'collect' your girlfriend from your hands and take her to hilton hotel right under your nose...the way i kick you around here on nairaland...your girlfriend will like me very soon fool, i said missiles have range of ten many times more than their altitude, and you are challenging me on why the nigerian Epe missile has range 23 times its altitude....you are a fool....example...niegrian NNS Aradu Otomat anti-ship missile has altitude of only 200 meters but range of 120,000 km !!! you are a big fool @saengine, i will soon take away your girlfriend finally nigeria is NOT south africa, we will NOT put all details of our secret weapons and locally made weapons on public internet for all our enemies to read and evaluate the military might of nigeria.....the way i evaluate all the limits and weaknesses of south african made weapons, thanks to DENEL free detailed information published on public internet....foolish south african nation of 33% brain mofos . 2 Likes |

saengine: You can go to rocketry shops in South Africa and BUY rockets that reach 3km. Small childish rockets. No need for Phd or masters like they need in Nigeria. You only spend R50 to write a certification test and you can launch. Some of the people that launch rockets are young kids younger than 18.fool, i defeated you before on this same topic and you bring it up again...bigger fool you now are there is NO 3km or 3,000 meters altitude amateur rocket in south africa, the video you posted is about 600 meters maximum, use your half blind eyes you soweto fool, that thing went up about 20 seconds and dropped down again and its ascension level in the air is not too far for human eyes to see....fool if people buy 3,000 meter altitude toy rockets in south african shops and kids launch them into the air any how, one day they will kiss a south african airways boeing 747 at near landing or near take off altitude of about 10,000 feet and send 300 innocent south african airline passengers to the graveyard....you fool the world record for amateur rocket altitude is in america and it is 1,350 meters only ! World Rocket Record: The Largest, Heaviest Amateur Rocket Ever Launched Steve Eves broke two world records Saturday, when his 1/10th scale model of the historic rocket—built in his garage near Akron, Ohio—lifted off from a field on Maryland's Eastern Shore. The 36-ft.-tall rocket was the largest amateur rocket ever launched and recovered successfully—and at 1648 pounds, also the heaviest. Eves' single-stage behemoth was powered by nine motors—eight 13,000 Newton-second N-Class motors and a 77,000 Newton-second P-Class motor. (Five Newton-seconds is equivalent to about a pound of thrust.) All told, the array generated enough force to chuck a Volkswagen more than a half-mile—and sent the Saturn V more than 4,440 feet straight up . It was arguably the most audacious display of raw power ever generated by an amateur rocket. http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/space/rockets/4315103 nigerian Epe made missile has altitude 3km and range 120km...fact !!! now @saengine the greatest fool of soweto-land, let this be the last time i will lecture you on this same old topic, okay ? say yes sir...say it ! . |

DictatorZAR: Show proof fool, because at range its considered as ballistic range. But who cares Denel has done it before and has the technology to built 3000km range ICBM's if the need arises we've done it before with RSA-III in the 1980's already no big deal. [size=16pt] all south african DENEL and ASMCOR weapons manufacturing technologies were imported, directly transferred and copied from Europe, America, and Israel for a long period of time from 1960s till 2013.....FACT !!!![/size] nigeria is building its missile alone, fact !!! the south african RSA-3 ballistic missile was built by Israel, a copy of Israel's Jericho missile, fact !!! http://www.nti.org/country-profiles/south-africa/delivery-systems/ Last updated: February, 2013 "South Africa has decades of experience developing missile and rocket technology, but it dismantled its covert ballistic missile program after announcing the end of its secret nuclear weapons program in the early 1990s. Since the mid-1960s, South Africa has developed short-range tactical missiles; in the 1970s and 1980s, South Africa, with help from Israel, began developing a longer range ballistic missile as a possible delivery vehicle for nuclear warheads. A July 1989 test launch of what South Africa called a "booster rocket" confirmed Pretoria had a ballistic missile program similar to Israel's Jericho missile series, and precipitated intense scrutiny from the United Nations and the United States. South Africa had dismantled its nuclear weapons program by the early 1990s, and subsequently halted its long-range missile program. It is now a member of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), and the Hague Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation (HCOC).[2] Capabilities Design Characteristics Tables Ballistic Missiles and Rockets South Africa developed the Republic of South Africa (RSA) missile series, based largely on Israeli missiles. Armscor, the principal developer of Pretoria's nuclear weapons system, designed gun-type nuclear devices that could be delivered by aircraft, but it had plans to upgrade the weapons for possible delivery by RSA missiles. Pretoria developed four missiles whose design characteristics are shown in Table 1. The RSA-1 was an intermediate-range, single-stage ballistic missile with a 1,100km trajectory coupled with a standard warhead mass of 1,500kg. The RSA-2 followed, with a range of 1,900km and the ability to carry a 1,500kg standard warhead mass.The RSA-3, based on the Israeli Jericho missile/Shavit launch vehicle, was a three-stage solid-fueled orbital launch vehicle. While Pretoria wanted to develop a long-range ballistic missile for warhead delivery, it did not have the technology at the time to produce a lightweight warhead for missile delivery.The RSA-3's first stage had control or steering vanes in the exhaust and at the base of the vehicle. A guidance/ orientation/spin-up bus for the third stage and payload, totaling a mass of 583kg, topped the second stage. After second stage burnout, the spin-stabilized third stage placed the payload into orbit.To support its missile development program, South Africa developed an indigenous solid-propellant production capability. The RSA-4 was still in development when Pretoria announced the dismantlement of its nuclear weapons program and subsequently its space program. History 1960s to Early 1980s: South Africa Increases Missile Range with Israeli Aid The Armaments Corporation of South Africa (Armscor) began developing rockets and missiles in the mid-1960s, focusing primarily on short-range tactical missiles for battlefield use. By the early 1980s, Armscor produced only two missiles used by the South African Defence Forces (SADF): the 22km range Valkiri surface-to-surface artillery missile, and the 4-10km range V3 Kukri air-to-air missile.[8] However, in tandem with South Africa's secret nuclear weapons program begun in the mid-1970s, Pretoria began an effort to acquire or build a long-range missile. At that time, South Africa had little if any experience with relevant technologies such as high-thrust engines, propellant production, and inertial guidance systems.[9] Thus, Pretoria turned to Israel, an important military supplier since the 1950s, and one of the few countries to provide military technology to South Africa after the United Nations imposed embargoes on the country for its apartheid system in 1963 and 1977. A March 1975 memo addressed to the SADF Commandant-General from the Chief of Staff indicates that Israel had offered to sell Pretoria 500km range Jericho-1 missiles, and that Pretoria was interested in acquiring the nuclear warheads to arm these missiles. Rather than buy off-the-shelf Israeli missiles, Pretoria apparently decided to use Israeli designs and technical assistance. In 1978, Armscor formed Kentron (now Denel Dynamics), a new subsidiary with a staff of 1,600 headquartered in Pretoria, that was responsible for guided missile development and manufacture. Kentron produced the shorter range RSA-1 and RSA-2 missiles, and also, with Israeli help, undertook development of intermediate and long-range ballistic missiles. Israeli technological assistance included the design schematics and the capability of constructing the ten-ton solid propellant rocket motors that powered the Jericho-2 missile. These motors formed the basis of two space launchers for the R5b space program. The overall design and capability suggest that the RSA-2 was either a licensed copy of, or modeled closely after, Israel's Jericho-2 missile. Moreover, the first and second stages of the RSA-3 used the same rocket motor as Israel's Shavit launch vehicle, and the third stage, also like the Shavit, had a five metric ton thrust spherical motor. While Pretoria claimed that it was funding a space program, it sought to eventually use the rockets as weapons delivery systems. According to one history of South African-Israeli military cooperation: "In 1987 Armscor informed the South African Cabinet it could build a missile, based on Israeli design, which 'could hit a target in Nairobi within 300 yards,' about 2,500 km from South Africa." 1989: Rocket Test Reveals Nuclear Ambitions and Draws International Scrutiny Despite UN embargoes, South Africa secretly collaborated with Israel on a ballistic missile program under the guise of a civilian space program, referred to as R5b. In June 1989, the Washington Times reported that, South Africa, with assistance to Israel, planned to test-launch a new intermediate-range missile. Later, an Armscor spokesman confirmed that the company had over the past six years built a missile test range at Overberg on the southern tip of South Africa. Around the same time, U.S. intelligence sources reported that South Africa was close to launching a modified version of Israel's intermediate-range Jericho-2, probably from a facility near Cape Town reportedly almost identical to Israel's launch site in the Negev Dessert. South African officials stated that the new missile had been under development since at least 1987, and would also be used as a booster for launching photo-reconnaissance satellites. A U.S. Central Intelligence Agency assessment reportedly suggested that South Africa was also preparing to test the more advanced Israeli Shavit space launch vehicle, which might be converted to a 3,200km-range missile. On 5 July 1989, Armscor announced that it had successfully tested a booster rocket from the Overberg test range. Outside analysts, however, suggested that the test was of an intermediate-range missile, and U.S. intelligence officials thought that a short-range missile with a rocket plume strikingly similar to Israel's Jericho-2 missile had been tested. The test missile flew 1,450 km southeast toward Prince Edward Island.[17] After U.S. officials publicly stated in October 1989 that Israel was assisting South Africa in developing a medium-range missile, senior Israeli officials again tried to sidestep the matter, but later Israeli sources confirmed cooperation with South Africa on a variety of projects, including the joint development of a surface-to-surface missile armed with a nuclear warhead. 1990 to 2002: South Africa Terminates Ballistic Missile and Space Programs The July 1989 rocket test intensified international concerns that South Africa, with Israeli collaboration, planned to develop nuclear tipped missiles. On 15 December 1989, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 44/113 B, noting its great concern about this cooperation and requesting that the Secretary-General investigate. The resulting 1991 UN report concluded in part: The South African missile programme relies on foreign technology from various foreign sources. The only source of officially licensed foreign missile technology today is Israel. Much additional technology is acquired clandestinely and illegally....If South Africa deploys long-range missiles, these are most likely intended to carry nuclear warheads." http://www.nti.org/country-profiles/south-africa/delivery-systems/ . |

zaandrew: I wonder how a 3km range missiel will make nigeria somthing speciol.3km altitude, is NOT 3km range. use your head if you have one the nigerian made missile is said to have 3km altitude and that means it is 3 times better than the only anti-aircraft missile in south africa called Starstreak SAM that you imported from Britain with a foolish altitude of only 1km, nigeria is 3 times better with our 3km the report says nigeria is testing different sizes of missiles, and that tells you they are not all the same range and altitude. this story started from beegeagle and he says at 2012 the range of nigerian made missile was 70km, then in 2013 people corrected him with update of 120km range. only a fool like you thinks it is hard to make a missile fly 100km when you already have missile technology, yes nigeria has missile building technology now with sources to prove it, all we need to make a missile fly up to increase its size and increase its fuel load, very simple to increase range. nigeria is NOT foolish like south africa to publish all the technical details of its weapons on free public internet. even me now in a far away continent, i can plan how to defeat all south african made weapons because i get all the limitations of your weapons performance freely on internet....foolish south africa has no big military secret any more....fools nigeria ? fight nigeria and there will be very many surprises from our secretive military forces with modern technology we are now developing to become the strongest military in africa. with our missile range and altitude increasing every season we do new upgrade and tests, nigeria can stop the big army of egypt on land with a massive surface to surface bombardment of nigerian made rockets and missiles with long ranges. nigeria is testing many different sizes of missiles, meaning will build surface to ground, surface to air, and surface to sea missiles as Epe base station advances our new technology built only from locally sourced materials. nigeria will roast south africa like chicken barbecue.....FACT !!!! |

. [size=16pt]B.oko H.aram cannot carry out coordinated attacks again – SSS[/size] The State Security Service has said the war against terrorism is paying off as terrorists have been weakened and can no longer carry out simultaneous attacks in the country. This is just as President Goodluck Jonathan disclosed that over N800m had been spent on training and retraining of SSS officers. The Director-General of the agency, Ekpenyong Ita, who said during the passing out parade and inauguration of 385 members of the Cadet Officers Basic Course 27 in Lagos on Saturday that terrorism would soon be a thing of the past in the country. Ita said the SSS had been able to help curb terrorism due to investment in human capacity development as well as cooperation from members of the public, sister agencies and the press. He said the fight against terrorism had further been boosted with the emergence of local vigilantes popularly called Civilian JTF and the state of emergency declared in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa states. He said, “We can confidently say that we have decimated the terrorists’ top and middle level leadership and its foot soldiers thereby dislodging its centre of gravity. There is no doubt that our strategies have invariably affected the cohesion of the group as well as the chain of command, to the level that the group, for now does not possess the capacity to direct and launch simultaneous attacks on several cities or targets in Nigeria as had been the situation in the past two years. http://www.punchng.com/news/terrorists-cant-carry-out-coordinated-attacks-again-sss/ . 1 Like

NaijaPikinGidi: And to the fools disputing Nigeria's long range missile intentions ... there is news here for you:https://bailiffafrica.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Nigerian-Flag-Woman-Temitopes-Blog3.jpg [size=16pt] nigerian made missiles will be a threat to all african regional powers Nigeria Resumes Rocket Testing http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/national-news/132850-nigeria-resumes-rocket-testing- [/size] AFTER an extended hiatus, Nigeria has resumed its controversial testing of rockets at the Centre for Space Transport and Propulsion (CSTP)—an operational arm of the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA). Dr. Charles Attah Osheku, the new CSTP director and chief executive officer, confirmed Friday, in a late night phone interview, that a series of test firings of experimental rockets were conducted last March and also in April. The launches, he said, are ongoing: “We are conducting the tests primarily for scientific purposes, but also as training exercises for our technical personal and a challenge to our scientists and engineers, for whom the experience is vitally important”. A NASRDA scientific officer, who requested anonymity, reported that CSTP has recently launched several rockets “with varying degrees of success”. Some of these, he said, had reached altitudes of three kilometers, possibly higher. The size and configuration of the crafts, or whether there is foreign involvement, was not specified. The Guardian had, on Sunday, November 16, 2008, reported that CSTP had been secretly launching indigenously constructed experimental rockets. During The Guardian’s visit to Epe, in 2008, Oluremi A. Fashade, the then Coordinator of the Centre, brought out one of the rockets and released a video of a successful test. The solid fuel missile was about three metres long and constructed entirely from locally sourced materials. In his interview, Fashade — who now heads Research and Development at the African Regional Centre for Space Science and Technology Education, Il-Ife — said NASRDA would eventually “graduate to bigger and more complex craft.” Osheku did not reveal the exact dimensions of the rockets his Centre is currently testing. But an earlier interview, with another source, left the impression that these missiles are larger than the ones Fashade had been experimenting with. Another uncertainty is the site of the launches. At Epe, the testing range was adjacent to the campus of Lagos State University — and may still be. But when Fashade was Coordinator, he told The Guardian that NASRDA would construct a new launch facility, on a remote island, off Nigeria’s coast. No one is willing to discuss this now. When the subject was broached to Dr. S.O. Mohammed, the director general at NASRDA, his reaction was: “We don’t want to talk about ‘launch sites’. The Federal Government will decide if, and when, that issue is to be addressed.” Internationally, rocketry is a sensitive subject, because it encompasses “dual use technology”—instruments that can be used, either for peaceful or military purposes. “Nigeria must, therefore, tread softly,” Mohammed allowed, ” to avoid sending the wrong signals about our intentions, which are entirely peaceful”. The Space Roadmap mandates NASRDA to develop a full-scale launch vehicle by 2025. But the Agency also has research, training and instructional programmes that are contingent upon rocket development This includes a miniature satellite programme, Mohammed noted, whose centrepiece is CanSat— a satellite the size of a soft drink can. It is being developed, with Japanese collaborators, for atmospheric and space weather research.

saengine: 3 meter long rockets which may or may not have travelled 3km....hahahahaha. wow.try ask your junior brother in secondary school to help you read and interpret the rocket/missile report. you need help that post surely puts a big padlock on your misfiring mouth at last you were one of the most foolish south africans arguing blindly against beegeagle's report of nigerian missile test at Epe base station. you told me to stop posting this nigerian missile story but i promised you i will continue posting it because it is very true, i got the confirmation from someone based at the testing site.....i was 100% it was true, only the basic technical details were not available to the public. now the 3km is the missile altitude NOT the range, altitude is vertical, but range is horizontal or parabolic...you 33% brain south african fool the report also says there are different rockets of different sizes being tested, and that the ones tested in March/April this year are much bigger than the earlier and for sure they have much more fuel and longer ranges....the details are classified as nigeria is very secretive with military stuff. the horizontal/parabolic range of the missile/rocket is not disclosed and all details of the nigerian missile testing remains secret/classified for now. now go knock that your oblong shaped head against that of a kruger park Rhino... if the nigerian missile truth confirmed in newspapers now finally shattered your over-bloated ego  3 Likes

NaijaPikinGidi: A fool caught out in his own logic! I guess you rely on a dunce called Craig to make sense out of public information. Did you take a look at the list I put up to show the number of crashes involving South African operated airlines? You continue to mention SAA as if it is the only airline in South Africa. The SA Airlinks, SA Express are all airlines with crash histories alongside the world's undisputed No.9 ... SAA! I posted facts but you post your bedroom imaginations! Google should help you better!the part os the above post that makes me laugh ...."Four (4) crashes is the African record by any individual airline ... currently held by your SAA. I didn't raise the matter of Nigerians in your flying schools! You did! So, why recant your st.upid comment when handed a sound and true response about the Nigerians out-performing your lazy brain South Africans in your so-called schools?" |

Thiza: Nigeria is touted as the giant of Africa. But, the truth is, Nigeria has the potentials to become the true giant of Africa. But, it is not a giant. Now, sadly, it hasn’t realized its potentials. Is Nigeria not populous and endowed with abundant natural resources? Nigerians in Diaspora with technical knowledge are contributing to the economic and technological growth of their host countries. But, for all our human and material resources, Nigeria is mired in economic stagnation and technological backwardness. Nigeria’s woes are not unconnected with inept, corrupt and incompetent political leadership. South Africa ranked worst out of 36 in global road safety report Exceptionally high levels of road accidents costs the South African economy more than R300-billion each year, and 12,000 people dies on the roads in year 2012 according to an international report. http://mg.co.za/article/2013-05-23-south-africa-ranked-worst-in-global-road-safety-report https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFcLZUDWtr8 |

. [size=16pt]Nigerian Navy gets maritime surveillance equipment to monitor the whole Gulf of Guinea[/size] The Nigerian Navy has opened a maritime surveillance and intelligence fusion centre to monitor piracy and ship movements throughout the Gulf of Guinea from the Eastern Naval Command base in Calabar. Speaking at the centre’s inauguration ceremony, Flag Officer Commanding the Eastern Naval Command, Rear Admiral Joseph Aikhomu said the new facility, which is equipped with radar and satellite monitoring equipment, will enhance the navy’s intelligence gathering capacity as it continues to battle piracy and oil bunkering across the Gulf of Guinea. He said the long-range surveillance facility will also shorten the relay time of information from ships in distress and shorten the reaction time for security forces on rapid deployment and rescue missions. “This ICT/Intelligence centre has state of the art facilities. From here we can easily monitor security situation in our zone. This centre is just like those found in the advanced countries. This centre is significant in many ways. "It is also meant to teach our officers and men ICT knowledge, considering that the modern world is information-driven. We shall deploy it to full use,” Navy Rear Admiral Aikhomu said. http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30557&Itemid=233 this is one of the many reasons why i rate nigerian navy equal to those of Egypt, South Africa, and Algeria, each country has some things the others dont have [img]http://3.bp..com/_ej5kQwZWlzM/TF6C6fjFa_I/AAAAAAAAAkg/X1gUUW3HzGQ/s1600/TPS-77-radar.jpg[/img] |

DictatorZAR: Should I refresh your empty skull and post pics and links of your soldiers killing 60 year old people at roadside checkpoints for bumping into side mirrors, including the mass murder of innocent villagers with impunity. In bygone post we've posted UN reports on the misconduct of your ill disciplined poorly trained soldiers from DRC to Liberia.naija soldiers are still better than your south african army battalion of R.apists, even your president is the gang leader |
