Msauza: Nigerian Military lost bitterly at the hands of Boko Haram and worst of all at their own turf. Boko Haram attacked them at their own base and overpowered them to the extent that they set everything ablaze. They proceeded to police station and prison to free their comrades in arms without any difficulty. What a victory to Boko!!

Nigeria, however, responded by recruiting military of neighbouring countries in their so called JTF and the question remains why have they doubted their sole involvement in fighting terrorism? Why did they have to go and acquire help from other countries if they were indeed the most powerful in Africa?

sambos994: Other prior commitments my yansh.

NaijaPikinGidi: Nigeria Navy is currently the only African Navy to be represented at the 2013 Australia International Fleet Review.

Sadly AndrewZA will not be on cooking duties for SAN in Australia.

Msauza: Atleast it is only in SA where civilians have the rights to open a case against the police for abuse of power. This privilege is unfortunately not enjoyed in Nigeria as police have every right to harass civilians and still get away with it without paying any compensation. Harassment by the police is an order of the day in Nigeria and poor civilians have nobody to speak on their behalf by suing the state, especially where the abuse of power took place.

chrissy365: that one is small. these south african guys just build weapons but lack the skillful personnel to use them. they can cry us a river for all i care.

tells you how these guys keep living with Alice in Wonderland.

Msauza: Cameroon pride- many things have been said about Cameroon in your absence. The likes of Agaugust claimed to have defeated Cameroon just in minutes somewhere in Bakassie. Thus, hoping to hear from you, what is your take concerning your purported defeat at the hands of Nigerian Military. I am now surprised and completely dumbfounded that nobody wants to respond at your post.

andrewza: It probably going to be the typical post of yours. You going to over egatrart and post miss infomastion then ignore all the post of us correcting you. You did the same thing when you tried to enend a navel blockade for arty and make out the roland to be the best sam ever.


Here somthing for you to chew on though. Why is NNS thunder going to the austrialn fleet review and not NNS aradu.

andrewza: Denel could make a bomb desposil robot.

The tech for it is rather common place these days.

Thing is I don't see denel makeing it. They more in to mine clearing and rout clearing than bomb desposle. There is a diffrent SA company for that. I just don't know if it there robot are a forghine desghine.

I really don't care though.

saengine: My point exactly!! Stop going around telling the world that Nigerian OPV's will be 4 times more deadly than Frigates when you yourself also don't have any technical details regarding what weapons they will carry, since as you say the ships are under construction.

zetdee: Lol, the people who've been obsessed with race on this thread are Nigerians ( mostly agaugust), raising the race card each time you loose to SA is what you guys do alot.

BCraig: You're wasting your time.

You still need to explain your blunders, which soeone with your qualifications would never make.

Valid question and comment.

Totally deserved.

andrewza: was i cheering them on, i have been keeping my posted more to military than you with your spaza shop and what nots.

Mentioning, poverty, economics, and other non direct military issues is still on topic since it affects defense and security.

BCraig: The issue that needs explaining is why a "researcher" confuses radar with optics? Why? Is it because the title of the article used the word "see"?

But he has an MBA! He says. He should be able to work out the difference at first glance.

He works in the industry, he says. As a researcher. Developments should be at his fingertips. Seeing as he brought up the point in the first place.

andrewza: maybe he was a janitor at MBA and has high school accounting and is really good at red alert

Msauza: Actually the derailment of the tread started when I pointed out that Nigeria did have any history of war against other countries other than peace keeping missions.

Henry120: Guys please, let us all be organised. We have derailed this thread too much. Both on the nigerian and south african side. This is very childish and immature.

We should keep the discuss strictly military related. All these social issues should be discussed in a different thread.

Strictly military discussions thread.

Tumisang: This thread should be closed!!

NaijaPikinGidi: Wow!! So easy to cancel out Squatter Camps full of shacks by a picture from CraigB?

Now South Africa invents a new meaning to photoshop and President Zuma needs to hear about CraigB's joke of an invention ... especially for his Campaign to win landslide votes in the Western Cape, Gauteng, Limpopo, Natal, and all around South Africa where shacks are a welcome sight from the airport driving towards the city centres.

Delusions never end with CraigB.

NaijaPikinGidi: Shaken to your core? This is nothing! Set the stage and time and let's go there!! Now you can't handle it so you pass it on to your surrogates? You are so pathetic.

Post more pictures to expose your poverty stricken hungry population. Eyes are watching and information and locations are identified in no time. Shocked that your Braamfrontein is picked-up? When I tell you we are in your face take it serious. It's deeper than your low level mind can assimilate. Or you now regret posting those images of your hungry cheap food loving ladies? It's a PROMISE ... continue on Nairaland and you'll be getting a friendly tap on your shoulder someday soon! It will all count when the worms are out. Figure that out.

I wish you well in your Hillbrow. It's surely a place in South Africa!!

NaijaPikinGidi: You can't in your life time be cured of your chronic delusional desease! Talk the military talk and get your brain to deal with the issues on the thread's topic. A small mind like yours will always fail the test of rising to the task. Obviously, you have decided what your big issues are ... displaying photos of poor South Africans eating cheap food in the cheap Saturday foodmarket on DeBeers Street in Braamfontein just on the corner of DeKorte Street? Is that the big issue in your mind's greatest military imagination? You must be such a hungry poor loner!!

Listen ... just to prove a point it wouldn't take me time to track you down if I so choose! A few friendly worms will have not trouble giving you a tap on the shoulder. You can go on with your juvenile talk ... while Jacob Zuma continues to reveal the already known secrets that your TV media thinks the world does not know.

Google the word "Shack" and South African stories just pop-up everywhere!

shoprite malls....

andrewza: A rather interesting opinion piece on CAR

http://www.african-defense.com/?p=1546

seleka case is closed, south african army ran away faster than Usain Bolt. we will remind you once in a while until another cowardly african army beats your new african record for running away from teenage rebels.

case closed.

NaijaPikinGidi: Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. (Euripides)

Dwelling on the outside of the big issues is the best part of delusional living for the handful of South Africans here. No guts to deal with issues crucial to the military glory they desperately desire. False "blingy" lives? It's always lights camera and action to deceive themselves and not the intelligent world.

The world is not FOOLISH.

andrewza: It does not have a camera that can see through clouds.

Satellites have a role but in providing real time data to troops on the ground or looking for a single person over a wide area they of limited to no use.

what you can use it for is to take a pic of a area to give you a updated map, or take pics of a border area to see tire tracks, holes in a fence, extra extra. If you use a satellite has your primary means of observation you will get shocked. There was a janes defense report on how satellites are being fooled and beaten by very simple methods.

andrewza: actually fighter pilot is still right since it is a radar imaging satellite and has such no camera, funny how you can not seem to see the difrrence

Fighter Pilot: Lies, there is no such satellites in India that can see through the night.

Fighter Pilot: Lies, there is no such satellites in India that can see through the night. Satellite cameras cannot penetrate through dense bushes and pick up people from there. Drones are doing much better job than those useless satellites.

andrewza: there are no HEAT rounds for 155mm guns show me one since you so admit there are.

So your satellite can see through clouds, using what tech. IR great you know the valour can remove it's ir signature.

how can i post a source that there is not something? the prerogative is with you.

that uses Explosively formed penetrator not high explosive anti tank there is a difference.

nonetheless all these rounds share one common point they slow down before impact meaning useless vs a ship which has rapid firing autocannons and nigeria does not have any.

andrewza: currently only one HEAT ARTY round will use a HEAT warhead and it is a exprementail guided 155mm round. As of now there is no in use 155mm heat round nor do any arty guns fire HEAT. are you sure you work in the defense industry
