Another disaster would have been trying to man the aircraft carrier to full capacity with their small navy.
Infact it must surely take their entire navy to man the carrier

It would take one bomb to wipe out their entire navy.

Henry120:
First of, Nobody knows everything, neither did I claim I knew everything.

On the question, you don't go about printing/posting names of heroic soldiers like they're some filthy statistics on the wall. We don't keep scores with dirty terrorists. We make sure we facilitate their meeting with their maker. No question asked.

This is what is important, Dead soldiers are giving a proper military burial, there Gratuities are paid to their next of kin and the state pays for the eduction of their wards, including free medical care at military and government hospitals.


"Gen. Chris Olukolade @GENOlukolade3d
On Honour for Slain Soldiers: We do give due/befitting burials. Publicity is deliberately downplayed owing to sentiment #VictoryforNigeria"

Nigeria has lost around 400 troops since the start of this insurgency.

skullz: Last year Angola was even linked with a decommissioned Spanish aircraft carrier don't know if they are still interested.

Centrifude: The real question that we should be asking here is that, how many soldiers has Nigeria lost to Boko-Haram, since one out side Nigeria know how many, because your army only releases the number B.H fighters killed, what are they hiding, why do civilians and the soldiers say one thing, and then Government official come and deny it.

@agaugust & Henry120 Since you guys know everything, why don't you enlighten us and tell us how many soldiers you've lost in the past 5 years? And please don't give us your personal estimations give us proper numbers and Proof.

"RFI’s special envoy in Bangui spoke to a source who says he was present at the French military base near Bangui where he saw more than 50 body bags being loaded onto a Hercules C130 aircraft sent by Pretoria. He said other bodies were arriving as the 50 were being loaded on to the plane.

The source wishes to remain anonymous.

General Arda Hakouma, who led the Seleka rebel coalition operation to capture Bangui, insists more South Africans were among the soldiers he killed.

“What is certain, I personally, Chief of Staff, chief of operations, so I am the one who directed the battle, I saw 36 South African dead and 22 wounded. That’s for sure, and there were prisoners too, we handed them over to Fomac [The regional African peacekeeping force for CAR]," he said.

Sources in the Central African Republic government and security sector told RFI’s Cyril Bensimon that the South African Soldiers are fighting to protect mining and oil contracts signed by South African companies with CAR president François Bozize."

ChukwuCantDie: There is nothing interesting about arguing with a bunch of 3 year olds in a mans body.

MikeZA: This thread would've closed long ago,if we had a constructive debate.


But Neaaaaaaah!!!!


But we love it this way

MikeZA: They are not obsolete.

They lack stuff like canards and stuff.

They're the same sukhois India downed many F-15s with,during some exercise years back.

Henry120: Exactly my point. Operators still miss targets even with all the add on's and accessories. I'm by no means saying accessories aren't important, however, if an Operator or any soldier doesn't practice regularly, he'll still miss his target even if it were only 10 meters away.

Everybody likes to see troops in fancy tactical gear, I know I love it a lot . It's always "sweeter" when they're Nigerians.

ChukwuCantDie: Greenandold = Kruger probably patches too the only half almost sane one is that centrifude guy.

celeron40: Jesus! These guys will floor our armoured corps anyday, anytime!

Ibnsultan: Its not about the Gears but the marksmanship

Henry120: The point is special forces operators dress up in a manner they are comfortable with. Not always in tactical gear.

Mabhengu: SANDF IS GEARING UP FOR WAR....NIGERIA WE CUMING THE TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.....IF YALL ARE WISE THEN LEARN HOW DOES THE MILITARY WORKS

Henry120: LOL.

We are all just having fun.

Femno87: I guess its nigeria

denisfidha: What I haven't been able to figure out is with Africa Stand by force and with the Intervention force Brigade, how exactly will they be able to be deployed? Because basically the Intervention force is a rapid deployment force deployed to avert a major crisis.... So what will be the threshold for there deployment? Every country in Africa has its own army that can atleast try fight its own enemies. I don't see a place in time where the AU or UN reacts quickly to a crisis with all its politics and bureaucracy . Eg. is South Sudan, even after more than 10,000 civilians are killed, no intervention has been deployed to date, even after the UN camps in S.Sudan were attacked by rebels, the two waring sides are still setting the conditions for dialogue.....

agaugust: Those are old Super-Hinds. Russia has built the latest....Mi-35M Hind E and that is what Nigeria has now, 12 units coming, 2 arrived already.

NAF Mi-35M Hind E is superior to both Super Hind and SAAF Rooivalk...proved today

Yesterday your South African guys got first shock that Mi-35M carries more weapon payload than your over-hyped Rooivalk turkey.

Now ALL South Africans are running away from Mi-35M Vs Rooivalk comparison challenge.....

I asked for list of weapon options each carries, NO South African had courage to answer

AugustineAgain: You wrote that South Africa is going to WAR....a war that has no name and location. It's actually you that does over-active imagination

GreenandGold: 4000 troops that whipped the Soviets out of Africa.... meanwhile the NA has tens of thousands of troops deployed yet BH keeps whipping your behind #BringBackOurGirls

AugustineAgain: [size=14pt] South African army to be under command of Uganda.

As African Union still cannot trust SANDF to fight war alone due to poor war record....

Adds Liberian army to list of SANDF's next leaders .

South Africa accepts offer in desperation to gain a little experience of combat which it does not have.

AU concerned for inexperienced SANDF's safety, adds superior Algeria to the leadership list.
