agaugust: Good boy, now you are talking !
SAAF Hawk jets have NO targeting pods, they use ordinary FLIR same as NAF Mi-35M Hind helicopters . Diffreince is the Hawk is cleard to use a pod. And the Hawks FLIR is not the same has your hinds FLIR. |

Cry because SANDF has NONE . I asked angola. They want to know where your satlite was to stop your pirats. |

Show me a South African satellite working today 2014, an earth observation settelite used by SANDF.....show me !
. Show me one gain that nigeria has gotten from a satlite. O I forgot you still can't bring back the girls. |

agaugust: No proof yet !
It was cleared for use, but do you use it?
Mokopa is cleared for use but you don't use it.
Not all old equipment in SANDF are working any longer, the air refuelling capacity you had for Gripens is now dead
No proof the pod is in use, so prove it . It is there to be usef if need be. The hawk normaly uses it's own FLIR cammera. |

agaugust: Wrong, that is only for military forces that have only one single satellite.
Nigerian army, navy and air force have 3 satellites including the new advanced radar satellite, means you have few hours interval to almost cover the whole earth in a 24 hour day, you are almost round the meal time observation, breakfast lunch, dinner times.
Satellites are bad you say, only because SANDF and South African backward nation have NO SINGLE SATELLITE  . Does not matter how many you have. Not even the USA can keep a 100% covrage no one can. |

agaugust: F-7 is like 3 times cheaper to maintain than Gripen.
It is SAAF that has reported failure of maintenance due to lack of funds, NAF never complained about F-7 maintenance, we do it at home with NAF engineers, SAAF needs to always pay SAAB engineers from Sweden, reason why only 12 Gripens are flying and with only 8 pilots qualified for combat .  . Again this show you a dumb fuccking dip sshit rettard with no brains who is nothing but a oxgen theif. Countless times we have post links that show. 60% of all gripen maintance is done by denel only the major jobs are done by SAAB. 12 is still more than 11 We have at least 18 trained crews. Probaly more now since more join them each year. How many times have you had to ground you air craft, who had to go get out side help to maintain there fighters. Fact is a F7 needs maintance. No country can run there air force at 100%, zero zip nada. |

agaugust: I need proof of Hawk targeting pod, what is the name of the Hawk targeting pod? Gripen uses Lightening targeting pod.
Name the pod for the Hawk and prove it was software and hardware integrated for compatibility.
SIPRI says the British who sold Hawk jet to you did NOT sell the ACMI targeting pod for it, to SAAF 
. Again it uses a SA made sytem. |

Missy89: But when are we going to develop a jet engine aircraft? are we that dumb? It is more about cost. SA did have a fighter jet program to replace the cheeta (witch where heavly modfied mirrage 3s modfied in SA) but even the rafeal (the most expnsive aircraft opstion we had when chose the gripen). Sa did assemble the imppale, BAE hawk, A109 and does 60% of the maintance on the gripen. The know how is there. But econmy of scale means it just not worth it money wise. |

SA is part of the G20 because it is the strogest econmy in africa. Nigeria may be big but it is not strong. It's size is due to nigerians breeding like rabits.
Fact is SA spends way more money than Nigeria
Makes way more money
Is the largest African provider of FDI in africa
Has econmic intrists accross africa
Has far more influnce than Nigeria (with a click of a switch we can plunge SADC in to darkness. Now that is power)
There are far more bussness intrists in SA than Nigeria
We the industrail heart of africa.
All nigeria has is oil, and no oil baron nastion is part of the G20. |

Dude 2000m is not that far. I mean that freaking close enough for you mark 1 eyeball to find targets. |

It all the same resone. Nope seleka rebels where a merc force. Even in the aftermatch it was reported that the selka forces had a lot of Arab solders. Pics show them in proper Cammo with Radios and webbing. They look more like solders than the joke of a army in nigeria. |

agaugust: I mean 18km to 40km, Nigerian artillery numbers and range beats South Africa.
Gripens will be too far away to h.it ATR-42, with our 330km range radar, we see your army far away, but with 25km range missiles, Gripen cannot hit ATR-42 out of range and operation from far behind Nigerian lines, while F-7 NI with PL-9C missiles intercept any Gripen that wants to take a risk and die.
Yes Cuba has ZSU-23-4 Shilka, reason why SADF was avoiding flying close support combat sorties, your air force was half asleep during the Angolan war for fear of MiG-23 and ZSU-23 guns and SA-2 missile air defenses.
Cowards of Johannesburg  . No Vlap or base bleed even so you shooting well under 30km and will be taken out long before you a threat. Your ATR may or may not see the gripens comeing. It means nothing since it is to slow to run away. Any F7 that comes out to play will be shot down to so you welcome to send your entier fleet up. Our air force used to attack AA sights and Radars all the time. They even did airborn attacks on bases protected by AAA. So no they did not hid from them and yes they where taken out with easy. |

EVarn: SA had 200 soldiers facing against thousand of poorly armed,untrained,kwashiokor infested and inexperienced rebels,yet you were ambushed at a T "junction" and ambushed again at the base axis.why are you shifting goalpost?,earlier you said that your troops were "outmatched","outgunned" and unprepared for a fight,now you are saying they went into CAR prepared to fight.catfish. The seleka rebels where made up of trained battel harned mercs from Chad and Sudan and ex CAR army. The seleka officer who orginised the cease fire was trained by the South African Army. Seleka was all so better armerd than the averge nigerian solder and far more motivated to. In fact on Friday the rebels put in place a perft L ambush, somthing no poorly trained force could pull of. There are a number of posts here showing seleka and how they looked, and they looked better than the Nigerian army. I never shited the goal post SA was outnumberd and outgunned. They then ambushed the SA solders. When the SA solders where ambushed they all so had no more ammo for there 12.7mm MGs or mortas. So it was solders with small arms traveling in soft skin cars hit with crew serves wepaons from all direcstions. With all that Seleka could only kill 13 on the spot with the rest of the company being able to extract them selfs with there wounded. Remember it was now small arms vs 23mm AAA. IF the SA forces had been the typcal Nigerian army force they would have run out of ammo on friday and been over run. By sunday the rebels grew tired of fighting us so called for a truce. |

EVarn: hey andrewza,have you eaten this evening?.their is nothing heavy about all those weapons,any self respecting robbery gang would have all those weapons you mentioned,liberian rebels had much more than those,yet they were crushed by the NA in weeks.why are you justifying the mediocrity of your army by saying "they didnt go to CAR to fight"?,arent soldiers meant to be always prepared?,how can you strutt into a warzone without arming yourself against potential aggression?....the SANDF is a disgrace. I did not say it was heavy. I said they out gunned us. Big diffrence. When ECOMOG whent in to SL they had a Large force. SA had just over 200 fighting the entire selelka force alone. They did go there preaperd to fight. The fact they killed arround 1000 rebels proofs that. The problem was they never enterd a warzone. When SA arrvide the region was peacfull and a large regional milltary force was in the area. When the things heated UP the ANC turned down the request for increasing the force there. This was becaue of purly politcal resoans. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by andrewza: 9:30pm On Nov 21, 2014 |
EVarn: more nonsense falling from your smooth black zulu a$ss.what "heavy arms" did seleka possess?,did they possess jet,missiles,tanks,atillery?,what type of assault rifles did they use?,what type of bullets did they use?,did they use armour piecer bullets?....and you come here bragging of defeating a pancake rebel group!,even the police would take one look at seleka rebels,and fall down laughing. Seleka had AKs, PKMs, 12.7mm MGs, 14,5mm MGs, 23mm guns, 30mm MGLs 105mm reciols rifels, mortas and all in far large numbers than SA. SA had 1 companies worth of small arms a compost support commpany with 12.7mm MGs and 81mm Mortas but not enough ammo to fight the battel alone. They then had the SF hornets but they where again limmted with Ammo for the heavy wepaons. Farther more all SANDF cassulties where from one ambush when 2 rebel forces hit the SA forces at a T juncstion in the town. All so by limted ammo I mean 12000 12.7mm round 288 107mm rockets and 800 81mm morta bombs. SA forces carried a lot more ammo than your nigerian solders. And the SA solders where not there to fight and thought that they where under stocked. If the SA forces had just doubel the force there, enough ammo and APCs with some air support from choppers they could easly of held the town alone. As it was SA had only enough to stop the rebels on one of there 2 lines of advance. |

agaugust: stop telling lies mister !
Cuba had no war experience like Lesotho, the Cuban revolution of 1950s old times was a few hundred men with rifles overthrowing a bad government. The teenage Cuban girls that defeated South African army were not even born in 1950 era.
Bay of Pigs was a US cash funded coup plotters invasion of about 200 men trying to overthrow government of Cuba in about 72 hour kind of coup, NO SINGLE USA soldier entered Cuba.
South African army had mature men in SADF and UNITA with a lot of experience of war in Namibia. Remember your boasting about SADF war experience from World War II to Korean war.
Yep, that means they had tradition, but the solders where new.
Cuban teenage girl soldiers knew nothing about war until they used South Africa as their first war and first victory . And what experience did the SA solders who killed thousands of Cubans have. Remember SA had been at peace for has long and did not start there military expansion until the 1970s I did not say invasion, I said US funded invasion. Learn to read you dip shiit slowpoke |

agaugust:
Nope, NAF was the one fighting with Alpha jets against real targets that can retaliate, Liberian, Sierra Leonean, and Boko Haram deadly ZSU-23-4 four barrelled anti-aircraft artillery.
SAAF Hawk jets have NEVER seen battle since 8 years ago you bought them, all your pilots do is attack stones and sand in the name of training, why don't you send SAAF to attack rebels that have air defense artillery 23mm caliber in close range air support in a mixed up battle space where infantry and armoured vehicles of both sides are interlocked in hand to hand combat?
Satellites are not good only because South Africa has none. What would you guys say if it was the other way round and South Africa has satellites and Nigeria has none? What would you say then? You would say SANDF = NATO + USA + EU + RUSSIA
Your ground radar range is useless beyond 20 km because of obstructions, ground clutter, false-wrong targets, buildings, civilian vehicles, industrial structures, etc.
ATR-42 of NAF will detect SANDF ground radar and all army equipment 330km away, then NAF will give your positions to NA and we pounce on SANDF with 660 artillery guns 18km to 42km away and with your army will regret the day they were born by their mothers
. Really? like the Cubans and Angolans did not have any of those? And a rang of SAMs, Fighter jets and a extensive radar coverage. And what AAA does does BH, what have your NAF pilots had to fight. Satlites are good, but they not the be all end all you think they are. And SA is buying a really Spy sate, not some commercial off the shelf sat Nigeria has. Really, you do know that you only need to place it in the right locations and then the range is 500km again you mean 18 to 30km away and they will be pounce on by longer ranged guns and wiped out long before you guns can do any thing, while your presses ATR will be shot down by gripens. |

Henry120: You cannot buy an Aircraft still under-development. We also expressed interests in buying the J-10b, have we gotten them yet?
I did not believe the defenceweb story, as at that time I knew the Airforce had placed orders for additional transport helicopters. And as such, wanted to see a credible source to substantiate the story.
Nigeria has placed orders for a substantial amount of helicopters from belarus and ukraine (up-graded with FLIR, MI-35 and MI-17 helicopters), and brand new MI-35M and MI-171sh from russia.
Previous orders for Russian MI-35M have are been delivered.
What I initially asked for was clarity. Defenceweb is credbil though. And no one said you bought them. Only you want to buy them. Defenceweb all so spoke about the other choppers. |
