Everfrank: The Zionist killers in Israel are quite aware of Irans capabilities that's why they are afraid. Iran has already warned a crushing response to any attack from the criminal Israeli rulers. America is equally afraid coz Iran has warned that any American asset or base within its reach is a legitimate target. Any war on Iran would crush American economic activities in the middle east and eastern Europe. It would be a world war. Israel cannot defeat Iran in any war. Rather the Zionist illegitimate nation and their criminal rulers will be wiped off.
you do isreal alomost launched a attack on iran but had to call it off after odrama let the news off it slip out. That does not show fear

stepone: To you all against Iran; if the US/Israel were thinking in you direction, they would av been cleared off the world map.

Listing to urself, asking if a Monkey will fly a rocket to the Moon? We know that monkey can't fly it but they are trying to test if they can embark on an automatic land data controlled long range missile that can reach anywhere in Earth while controlling it from their station.

Also remember that Iran is almost tru with its nuclear program. Adding the two (enriched uranium bomb + it carer that was tested with a monkey) what will u get? A nuclear weapon with high warhead.

Also from recent research, iran announced the commencement of a weapon that will reach US and Australia.
Iran milltar is stronger than iraq and will be a tough nut for amrica to invade. But they not stronger and there home grone milltary wepaons are ether copies of amrican, chiness, russian or any body eles wepaons(not saying it is bad. Some time the copy is better than the orginal) or like this and there space rocket. A complete joke.

So is the monkey going to fly it.

Any case no nation fears that thing. It has no hard points external so it must all be internal. Only problem is it is so small. So where will it fit it's wepons, radar, fuel extra.

The cock pit is full of comicail off the shelf items. I have seen beachcrafts more decked out.

It looks like a mock up and the vedio of its flight could easly be facked.

This thing( not not worth the name air craft) was aimed more at boosting the spirt of iranens than terfing the west or isreal.

agaugust: south african army's refurbished centurion tank is old engine that welders re-plated and painters re-painted...."new wine in old bottle",
dont be offended andrewza , that is the same way south africans on this forum have been rubbishing nigerian weapons that we refurbished in europe and USA including our navy's ship NNS THUNDER we bought from USA coast guard forces, your people called our ship 'an old cutter', so all your 30 years to 50 years old refurbished and repainted south african military armoured tanks and warships are 'old museum cargo'. try and taste the same bitter medicine you put in other peoples mouth, especially south africans like msauza and snydergp the two 'clowns'.
you dont under stand it is not refurbished. It is base on the centurion chasie but that is about it.

this is the Israel Merkava mkIV MBT all so based on the centurion chasie

the difference between the olphant and lets say our NNS thunder is that they new but based on a old but test design. Where NNS thunder is a old ship that is modernized.

sheyie2007: I'm not saying you don't have any, but labeling Nigerians as 419 is the dumbest thing to say..that's the point.. speaking of mtn, tell me there was no white involvement during it's inception and I'd keep quiet...
MTN growth is very new and is under a BEE MTN
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by andrewza: 1:12pm On Feb 02, 2013
sheyie2007: you praise your techies like they were built by you blacks, your dimwitted people(blacks) are xenophobic, murderers and molesters.. we black Nigerians will be forever superior to your blacks anyday... yes it's true, we have bad eggs amongst us and so far, 419 is only thing you can point out, but come down here to the west and see how many business savvy Nigerians are prospering.. the future is bright brov...
firstly there many smart and suscfull blanksin South Africa just look at MTN. And whites in SA are south africans

agaugust: now, south african army is even worse with old weapons. [/b]they say nigeria has many old armoured tanks, but we will see their own old cargo today. snydergp, msauza and andrewza always pick south african modern weapons and post their photos or data beside nigerian old weapons to fuel the popular wrong belief that south african military is all modern while nigerian military is all old.[b]

it is time for the bitter truth today, south africans, here is your old army that will NEVER defeat nigerian army in battle
.

the south african army has o.lifant main battle tanks not up to 260 in total but less than 40 are actually functioning today. they are old c.enturion main battle tanks refurbished into o.lifant, all purchased from 1958 to around 1968 and the armoured tanks are over 50 years old, half a century ago.

their r.atel armoured vehicle is from 1975 origin and over 38 years old and ready to faint or enter coma and they have over 1,000 of this armoured vehicles, just see its photo posted here below. their r.ooikat armoured vehicle is less than 270 but less than 80 is functioning today with the age of the fighting vehicles at about 31 years old.

the few pieces of towed heavy artillery south africa has are less than 80 in number, and yet they are over 30 years old in use since long ago 1982. only the less than 50 pieces of rhino mobile artillery is modern, all the rest of south african artillery is from ancient times the same way they condemn nigerian artillery.

that means over 99% of south african armoured combat vehicles are around 35 to 55 years old, or is that young ? somebody to do the maths for us please !


this south african military with museum weapons will NEVER defeat nigeria in war !
swallow it, bitter truth ! let all those who have a wrong belief all over the world begin to correct their ideas now.

south african military is highly over-rated, they have more old engine repainted body weapons than the world thinks, their old is 4 times more in number than their new equipments, yet they have the guts to insult nigerian military when in reality they are not better than us.

check them all from south african army website and you will find the age of each weapon on its internet wikipedia:

if you knew how diffrent milltary AFV age diffrently to each other you would not have posted this. It show lack of under standing in miltary hardware.

SA has 177 olphant tanks with 133 belong to the reseve units thus in storage.

correct they based on the centurion chasie but compare the 2 to each other. there is no difrence. And the current olphant tanks are brand new builds not upgrads.

the ratel is being replaced with the badger but even so is still one of the best IFV out there to day and the best in africa.
allso we have 1200 ratels withh 666 in the reservs

the rooikat 178 with 94 in reservs



intring fact the M1 tanks is from the 1980s so is th M2/M3 bradly
The T90 of russia is a modified T72 of the 1970s
the stryker can trace its roots to the 1980s has while
Should i go on. Yes thy old but any thing but out dated. AFV are not like road cars the dont get old the same. Russia still has maisive numbers of BMP1s and the M113 is still in serves with many coutries that are very wealthy actauly some countries are buying new M113s and the M113 is from the 1960s
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by andrewza: 5:31pm On Feb 01, 2013
agaugust: the military forces of south africa, contrary to peoples belief, is actually full of old weapons, their boys on this forum hide the many old weapons and post fancy hollywood pictures and movies of the few modern weapons. a way of tricks, but that wont last long, it ends today. south africans say nigerian navy has old warships, but here is evidence that south african navy also has many old warships.

2 missile attack ships, in use long ago 1979 they are 34 years old, 4 mine-sweepers, in use long ago 1981 they are 32 years old. one of them is named GALESHEWE an old missile warship that is 30 years old already and see the photo posted here below.

if you remove their new 4 ships which are good, all the other warships are too old in service from around 1968 to 1988 and that is about 25 of about 33 ships, and that is over 77% of south african navy warships are long overdue for the museum, yet they keep on over-rating themselves.

Some points

There are 3 strike crafts not 2. The san sit has not been updated yet. All 3 are in a full refit and upgrade that is due to end soon.
The oldest ship in the SAN is protea but if you look at the sytems on that thing you will see she is good at a job and she is all so a survey ship thus not a combat ship and painted white
Draknsberg had a mid life refit not long a go and is a Combat suport ship and not a war ship. She is verry good at her job.
The Yanky harbor patrol boats (Namacurra) are from the 1980s yes but have new engiens and sytems and again are not war ships but small patrol boats(drakenberg can and has carreid them has sea boats)
The mcm ships are obsoliet and relgated to patrol duty ever sense we got a sytem that can turn any ship/boat (even a few of the larger ribs) in to a MCM veseal

you forgot to mention the subs by the way.

Yes a lot of the navy is old but there are funded projects to replace the older ships and the upgrades have all ready been done on all but the strik crafts who will be ready in few months. The upgrade will let us use them for a few more years has patrol boats.


by the way a ship is more than a hull it is the sytems that hull carrys the hull is just a platform. if you have any qustions on the navy feel free to ask.

agaugust: i have not checked the data you wrote about those missiles, i will do that later after i close from work, buy just to tell you that missiles too have versions and upgrades. then in close combat, range will not matter. penetration rate is not a big issue, when missile hit you man, it blows up your armour, and death follows while the hit vehicle becomes disabled and out of action. even an ordinary anti-tank land mine will disable a main battle tank.
Range is a big deal in the open.

penertration is vital to a AGM. If you want to kill Light AFV and infanty yuo do not use a AGMs since they a waist. And some tanks have some heavy armor. I can not get info on the current olphant tank of SA only the the MK1 witch is not much. (that is why i said i would not do a tank comparsin) but for info lets do it on the T72B armour the newest T72. It has armor at at 900mm thick vs heat on it's hull acording to wikkpedia. That means the switturn would only piss him off and that befor we add ERA. A disabled tank can be repared some times with in the same day. Exampil amrica had over 100 m1s knocked in the 2003 invasion of iraq. yet lost all most non of them in the long run.

souldust: thiza, you have come with your long episltes again. Why dont you shorten it into bits in that way, we may read them. As it is now, we just scroll past it when ever we see Thiza.

I know SAs are one today but the reason we separate the whites from the blacks on this forum is not to make youeasier to beat on this topic but that it is the fair thing to do. The whites are europeans turned Africans. They came from europe with all the knowledge of mordern science and how the present world would work and that gives them an andvantage over the rest of us black people.


Yes, you worked building your rails and possibly helped the whites to hold their nut and bolt while theybuilt your hardware, the truth is; your military was concieved by them

For us, we had to start learning how the present world would work then we had to strugle to keep the country together although we have made great strides in that regard butwe are still strugling.

Post military Nigeria has made more progress in terms of strengthning of the armed forces than post apartheid Sa.
That last part is not true.
GBADS was post aparthied and we only just completed phase 1
G2 52 was post aparthied upgrade of the G6
The gripen was post aparthied
The badger is post aparthied
Should I go on. We had a dry spell in the 90s that only really ended post 2000 this was due to intergration, poltics, and money.

speed 330ms
wire guided

ingwe
range 250m to 5000m
penetration 1m rolled homogenous armour with explosive reactive armour (ERA)
speed 330ms
laser guided

and soon the mokopa
range ~ to 10 000m
penetration 1350 mm RHA
speed (not listed)
laser guided

has you can see when it comes to AGMs SA is on top and by a big margin.

agaugust: point of correction, NOT ONLY south africa has nuclear power in africa. EGYPT, NIGERIA, MORROCO have nuclear power. DR Congo i dont know what happened to their own because of internal crisis in their country. the stage or level of nuclear power development is a classified information which every country hides full details, they only reveal partial details to IAEA, thats why the UN requires IAEA to inspect countries nuclear facilities if the UN suspects some secret agenda. and level of development varies from country to country. read the excerpts and you can click the weblink for full information.


"Inside Nigeria’s Only Nuclear Research Centre

It was in 1994 that Nigeria successfully obtained approval for the acquisition of the first nuclear research reactor through a Technical Cooperation Project from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) after series of negotiations.

The nuclear reactor was installed at the Centre for Energy Research and Training, Zaria in 1997, making Nigeria the 6th African nation, after South Africa, Ghana, Egypt, Morocco, Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire), to acquire a “classified nuclear facility”, licensed by the world’s nuclear development ombudsman, the IAEA. "

after that zaria nuclear facility, nigeria built another nuclear power facility in the sheda area of abuja outskirts. read excerpt and weblink below and click weblink for full information.

"The Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority is well positioned to carry out her statutory responsibilities. The authority has successfully licensed the nuclear research reactor at the Centre for Energy Research and Training (CERT), Zaria and another Gamma radiation Facility at the Sheda Science and Technology Complex (SHESTCO), Abuja under the watchful eyes of the International Atomic Energy Agency."
