patriot4: I think I am starting to understand why the South africans are acting like this: their troops in the Congo are not doing well at all:some points you may have missed out on. SA was preparing for M23 attack on goma if the DRC army failed, has in they can not worry about civilians, just because it is a un base does not mean it is a refugee camp. of those 93 cases only 15 were found guilty and that is 93 cases over the past decade or in another word 93 out of 26000, no punishment is ever brought against nigerian soldiers, there is video evidence of them murdering and torturing people (actually children) yet nigeria is blind to that, there are constant reports of police and military violence and abuse in northern nigeria is it all BH propergander. so lets see SA actually does something when her soldiers step out of line and nigeria closes her eyes. |
agaugust: did nigerians infect south african army with HIV ?Sandf AIDS level is only about 8% bellow the nastionl level of a lot of countries. And strange when you look at the level in most sub shara countries. Exampil zimbawe may have up to 40% infecstion rate accord to a few reports. You do know we killed between 500 to 800 of the seleka rebels. Most of whom where mercs from chad and sudan many where milltary trained. |
http://www.african-defense.com/?p=2384 Food Rushed to Mali for Nigerian Troops, Newspaper Threatened June 20, 2013 By African Defence Admin The Federal government has today [June 19] hurried food to Nigerian troop in Mali twenty-four hours after this newspaper [Premium Times] reported that the 873-man contingent were being poorly fed and had not been paid allowances in the last three months. Defence sources in Abuja and Lagos told Premium Times Wednesday [June 19] that the defence headquarters was terribly embarrassed by the report and immediately ordered that food be flown to the troop, which is in Mali as part of the Africa-led International Support Mission to Mali (AFISMA) to fight Islamic insurgents. “I can confirm to you that several bags of rice and palm oil were flown to Mali today,” one of our sources said. “I’m also told by colleagues in charge that more food will be taken there in the following days.” Our source however said the soldiers’ three-month arrears of allowances had not been settled. “Most of the soldiers are broke,”the source said. “Some of them have been calling home asking colleagues and family members to send them money.” Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army has threatened to arrest a Premium Times reporter who has worked on a series of articles on the hardship our soldiers are facing in Mali. The reporter had telephoned commanding officer, Colonel T. E Gagariga, in Mali to get his reaction to the story published on Tuesday. But shortly after his call to Colonel Gagariga, a certain Major General Ugor telephoned him to say he must disclose his sources for the series of stories he had done on the troop. “He said I should disclose my sources to him and that he would arrest me if I failed to do so,” said reporter Nicholas Ibekwe. “Of course, I refused. And I’m not sure what his plans are at the moment.” Premium Times had reported Tuesday [June 18] that there was no respite in sight for soldiers who have suffered untold hardship and total neglect since their arrival in Mali. The report said the 873-man contingent was being poorly fed and owed three-month allowances. “They are struggling to remain in Mali,” a defence source had said. “They are not being fed good food. They have been eating plain boiled spaghetti twice daily without condiments.” But when contacted, the commander of the 333 Artillery Regiment, codenamed NIBATT 1, said claims of hardship and low morale by troop were untrue. “All that is pure lie,” Col. Gagariga said. “We are doing our very best in every circumstance. My soldiers are of high morale.” Premium Times had four months ago exclusively reported the abysmal condition of the troops and the lack of morale caused by the absence of logistics and basic provisions. But defence authorities denied, saying the soldiers were well taken care of. |
Fighter Pilot: I truly now believe what one Ghanaian in SA told me about the character of Nigerians. They hate from the bottom of their hearts to be told that THEY DON'T HAVE. They become very angry to an extent of even waging war against you. It is good if they ridicule other nations, but the moment the wheel is turned against them it becomes another chapter. It is in their spirit to defend their psedo title of GIANT OF AFRICA.seems to be the case |
http://www.dvidshub.net/video/104614/two-minute-report-south-africa-unc#.UcSlB_mmjTB technically we are at war with north korea still |
agaugust: so where did you get 100 million figure since you now confesed there is NO data ?don't ask me ask all the sources i gave, it is like nigerians are blind to their countries problems. |
agaugust: google it yourself and dont waste @drag_on's time. most of your own military posts have no source to prove. we scream and shout before we get one F00LISH weblink source from you. go sit down men !they not hence i was making a point, taking all drones used by the US government and unarmed out way armed not to mention just because a dron can be armed does not mean it always flies armend, it is not just missiles you can fit on those hard points |
[quote author=drag_on]@andrewza The predator drone is the primary Armed drone of the U.S. and the one being deployed in targeted killing of taliban,al-qaeda and their associates.But to make it easier for you.The only "TRUE" battlefied reconnisance drone is the RQ-170 Sentinel if i am right.This is because its a stealth drone.The RCS of most so called spy drones make it impossible for stealth work in enemy airspace where you don't have air superiority,even their speed means they can be shot down by simple shoulder mounted SAMs.Iran even claimed to shoot down a sentinel. If you do have air superiority then drones are an option.However satellites give you unhindered access to enemy positions even if you dont have air superiority.In short most "reconnaissance drones being sold are for defence,border patrol etc.[/quote]the predator is the most common armed drone in US service but that does not mean that the majority of drones used by america are armend. not yet in any case. There are a few UCAV strike platforms in development global hawk can out fly most 3rd world countries Air defense iran claimed to have hacked it not shoot it. there is a difference satellites are not always on station, not real time, are easy to fool, blocked by cloud or even smoke and generally of limited tactical value. |
agaugust: you are quoting war of 1898, when we are talking modern war. can i also quote nigerian war in 1800 generation when the british first invaded to colonize ?i am not talking of 1898 but of the cold war. |
[quote author=drag_on]@ andrewza i didn't say most drones are armed. i said that the drones in most use by the U.S.(powers that be) are Armed Drones.The Armed drones come with target acquisition.[/quote]i mean for the USA, show proof that most of there drones are flying around armend. |
agaugust: the world bank data in your weblink is out dated year 2010, its clearly stated there boldly to read, and there is no current figure for first quarter 2013 and world bank has said nobody in this world knows the true figures both now or long ago since research was never done...so...you still wrong very wrong.the world bank does not trust nigerian government sources actually nobody does. The numbers could be higher. GDP does not mean jobs, nor increased production nor lower poverty. they refuse to update because nigeria can not collected simple data |
[quote author=drag_on]Spy drones are the poor man's satellite,Neither the U.S nor Russia use drones for spying in truth.The drones used by the U.S. in large numbers are Armed drones.That is a different kit altogether.You cant use spy drones in a hostile territory without air superiority cause they are not designed to outmaneuver SAMs.Only china and the U.S. at the moment are known to have recently acquired the capability of shooting down satellites from space.Jamming or hijacking is still the preferred method.[/quote]show a source that most drones are armed, show a source that the US uses drones for target acquisition, show a source the us uses satellites to to give soldiers in the field real time information. |
agaugust: ....and those world war II black nigerian hausa/igbo/yoruba soldiers are white-british men abi ? you were craaaaazy since you were bornno but they were led, armed and trained by white men |
agaugust: @Andrewza you were born very craaaaazy, you are still posting the NBS report that world bank rejected. did BBC do research city to city all over nigeria ? you were born shaaaaaamelessyet i gave you your world bank and imf reports, the facts remain. |
agaugust: post source to prove your claim of many military victories in cuba's war history. we are waiting.so you saying that fidel and chey just walked in to cuba and batista left http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_Cuba a bit light in dtials but it shows that cuba sent solders all over the world |
agaugust: south africa should have spied on seleka rebels, thats how good/modern military forces operate.Intended can not be seen through pictures not to mention level of training, condition of weapons, extra extra . SA forces in CAR where for some time saying things were on edge. If the regional forces and local forces had actual done somting other than step aside, switch sides or run away the battle could have been won, or fought to a draw, delayed till reinforcements. But intended can not be seen through a picture. |
agaugust: i did not quote any website for my rankings, i did not copy and paste it.NK v SK stared has a civil war but both nations are at a point where they are nations now. Has i said had bifara won or even forced a draw then bifar could be called a nation. But they lost sweden says they neutral it was they position from WW2 through the cold war. Only recently have they become more involved with the west. you did not realy look hard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_invasion_of_Cyprus. And how will algeria attack SA |

agaugust:who would SA spy on? and if you dont under stand how simple and low tech a balloon plus camera is you should keep quiet |
agaugust: are those world recognized sources like the IMF, WORLD BANK, IFC ? i said post reliable world recognized sources not local backyard sources of people who do not have the money/logistics/expertise to conduct research on a huge nation like nigeria.http://premiumtimesng.com/business/138525-world-bank-indicts-jonathans-government-says-massive-poverty-unemployment-killing-nigerians.html http://data.worldbank.org/country/nigeria |
agaugust: [img]http://4.bp..com/-4nqYNkaJuwI/Td_M5K0KK5I/AAAAAAAAHKE/XjRvSRnGSVk/s400/Royal%2BWest%2BAfrican%2BFrontier%2BForce.jpg[/img]nigerian idepency was achieved on 1 October 1960. Befor that you where a british colony and had no control over your foreign policy and you internal policy was run by brits. Any force you sent was a british forces using african solders not a nigerian force. |
NaijaPikinGidi: AndrewZA the Speculator-In-Chief of the SANDF. At least you put your own MzauSA to shame. Explain your comments ... the one I have highlighted. Otherwise this matter has been discussed and dealt with long ago! And the RECYCLING goes on and on!What i wonder is can a nigerian micro satellite hold a fixed position over a target and for how long. Aka how much fuel will it burn |
agaugust:http://www.ruralpovertyportal.org/country/home/tags/nigeria 70% in povert http://www.noblemissions.org/index.php/program-news/21-poverty-in-nigeria 80million people http://tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/news/item/11829-70-million-nigerians-are-poor-says-world-bank-jigawa-state-poorest-in-nigeria 70 million adults |
agaugust: i am american citizen, cuba is my next door neighbour, we studied that war in my office, american colonel lectured, battle of bay of pigs was NOT american invasion of cuba, it was a coup plot by a few hundred men in a 3 day coup attempt to overthrow castro's government. i posted full details here few months ago. dont teach me about america, i live there.Did i say american invasion, i am sure i said american backed invasion. Yes and they arrived by sea after being trained by americans. I am not convinced of your job. SO learn to read. THey over through batista a american backed puppet government, name one cuban victory over SA. |
agaugust: so why did south africa buy 4 valour frigates and 3 type 290 submarines ? to fight low intensity insurgency war ?It is hard to build up a force when you need it, the frigates, subs, gripes, tanks, SPHs, extra are if a war does break out. not to mention frigates are being used to fight piracy and a sub is usefull in stealth SF missions. IS BH really broken i mean the fight is not yet over. ever though we where build a satellite and have been using them. i even post a source where it showed how SA used satellites in CAR |
agaugust: you just proved us right, B.iafra was a country recognized officially by Gabon, Ivory Coast, Tanzania, Zambia and Haitiyet it never had a seat in the UN nor any other organisation, did it have any embassy. How about this twain is not a country but a province of china, is that true. regardless tamil tigers had a air force and controlled a large amount of land, i thought you said sweden had no combat experience now all of a sudden they the red baron reborn? And bifaria was long gone by the time of the tamil tigers. Getting hold of combat aircraft during the period was not hard, israel got aircraft from scrap yards and buying them for civilian use. The tamil held the entire northern part of the island and it was self governed, pretty much the same has bifara you realize that nigeria is pretty big. if bifar had won and beaten the nigerian army they would have been a country, but they lost so are not a country. |
agaugust: UAV flies only for few hours. satellites orbit 24 hours a day for many years. UAV cannot see more than few road or streets. satellites see the whole world. UAV can be shot down by ordinary 35mm guns, satellites cannot be shot down by anything. i posted photo last week of nigerian satellite watching an airport in far away america. nigerian satellite can watch all south african air bases where you keep your Gripen jets. south africa has a very big weakness if it faces nigerian military power.if satellites are so big and cool why are supper powers building more and more drones if a satellite can do the job. yes but for those few hours it gives the solders and commanders real time data when they need it, i wonder if a Nigerian satellite could maintain it orbit at the same point, they both rather simple micro satellites so yes it will be up there but up there is big. For the satellite to see the whole world it means it zoomed out and useless for a military purpose and once again the data from a UAV is real time. A UAV is cheap and hard to see not to mention the Seeker 400 carries 2 mokape AGMS with 10000m range and satellites can be shot down. Nigeria has 2 satellites that will find it hard to be every wear, nor is the information real time making it useless. Has i pointed out SA did use satellites in CAR, and that balloon is far from high tech. some little things you forgot about,satellites are not real time, they beaten by cloud cover, not all ways where you need them, rely on a central fixed ground station a juicy target for any military threat, Are far easier to fool than any other spy system, should i go on. |
kwame nkria: ^^^^^they were not built in nigeria that is how. |
agaugust: ..i mean most people with jobs in nigeria are in agriculture and most of them are subsited farmers, nor does most mean over 50% yes if there are only 2 types of something lets say apples and oranges then you correct, but what if there are lets say 4. then 40% could be the most SA unemployment rate is then lower to. Many labours are technically unemployed in SA, they work when there is a job and when it is done wait for the next.. I am not going in to national economics i am just pointing out that nigeria has a lot of poor people |
