Foreign Affairs / Re: Could 1,000 Roman Soldiers Face 10 Modern Soldiers? by Centrifude(m): 1:13pm On May 14, 2016

1,000 Roman soldiers coming from every side will defeat 10 modern soldiers who have no other support.

Remember there are shields, horses and chariots, how fast would the modern guys reload?

Well if the seals were on a hill top with unlimited ammo like he said the Romans would be decimated, most ancient shields and armour had limited protection against arrows so bullets would slice straight through them.

Don't forget that US soldiers use Armour piercing rounds, so the rounds would slice through roman shields and armour like they were nothing and Romans usually attacked in thick formations so one round from a seal would hit more than one Roman, a single armour piercing bullet wound hit the guy in front and 2 to 3 guys standing behind him.

Not forgetting that the seals would me carrying Rocket launchers and Commando Mortars.

Romans are trained to deal with Mortars.

Final conclusion is that 10 Navy Seals armed with 50 Cal Machine guns, LMGs, Rockets launchers, Knee mortars, and mini guns. Would destroy 1000 Romans.

These stealth fighter jets were conceptualized way before these advances in radar technology. R& D was way underway before radar technology caught on. Just because some countries now have the technology to detect these jets doesn't render the jets totally useless in all theatres of war or in some circumstances. As a matter of fact the original materials used to coat these jets to give them their stealth capabilities are now obsolete and substituted with new ones because radars caught on at some point.
It's like saying since Tesla is so good at making electric cars, we should immediately get rid of all fuel powered ones. There's a need (and a market) for electric cars so as there is for those powered by fossil fuels

Well your previous posts make its sound like Stealth Fighters are Completely useless.

Russia has a very long way to go. Don't forget that in real life combat situations, Western Jets have proven to be superior to Russian Jets.

Uncompleted, under development, etc is very different from completed yet beset with a myriad of problems. The folly of the Amerikans was to throw is so much sophistication and cutting edge technology into one machine.

Besides recent advances in radar tech only has erased whatever advantages stealth had.

Besides I am willing to bet the balance in my account that fighters such as the SU-35s would fare well against this Luis Vutton fighter jet


Your comment shows that you know nothing about R&grin.

I'm an Electronics Engineering Student I've done plenty of Projects and I was part of a group of students who where Chosen by my Lecture to help him design and build a new circuit board for Company I'm not aloud to name.
The final stages of the project were the worst we spent close to three months doing trial and error, just when you thought you had it right it, something else would go wrong or we would discover a new flaw.

Point is making something that is perfect tends to take a sh*t long time and effort but eventually you'll get it right.

If recent advances in Radar have erased what stealth has, then why is Russia still pushing forward with building a stealth fighter, not forgetting China who are also spending billions on perfecting stealth Tech, it seems as though you know more about stealth than those countries.

Who will deal with the F-22 while your Su-35s are fighting the F-35.

Your T-50 is only on papers.Oh I forgot,you guys don't have money to even build the first test model grin and here you are whining about a functional fighter that is 80% ready.

Lol these people are bragging about a jet whose Engines haven't even been completed yet.

By the time the T-50 reaches the same level of testing the F-35 is in right now, we'll be seeing COMPLETED F-35s shooting down the T-50s doing trail runs.

Actually it other way around wink, the Chaka C2 system is a brigade and below C2 system, with the mobile Chaka's used for Battalion and below.

A brigade consists out of 5000 troop, thus 4 Chaka systems = 20 000 troops all interlinked/Inter operable thanks to Link ZA.....Overkill considering we will not even deploy more than 5000 soldier even in a full blown war!!

"Mobile C2 systems to support
battalion and company commanders, and

support three simultaneous peace support
operations elsewhere in Africa and one

This is the kind of situation I was talking about when I said our SAPS STF could help in training other African SF units.

STF is well trained and experienced when it comes to handling such situations.

After seeing how quickly kenyan SFs dealt with the terrorists during that attack on the university, I'm very sure they could also help build up other African SF units.

if you are that so good then why dont you rescue that south african held hostage by AQIM ! stop telling us how good you are and show us.this is not the 70's and 80's when terrorist wanted their demands met before they released their hostages,you need know that and know what an active shooter scenario is before gloating with pride with how exceptional you are .what did you do when two south african were kidnapped by somalia pirates,who at the end got paid their ransom money! http://sosbrunodebbie.co.za/

Dude you've completely missed the point of my argument, you're letting you animosity towards S.A cloud your judgement.

Where on my comment did I talk abt rescuing hostages from overseas. Agaugust was asking me abt the failed Kenyan Hostage rescue which was an internal issue and a matter of dealing a hostage situation in your own country it has nothing to do with rescuing someone from outside the country I don't know why you had divert the discussion to things that happen beyond a countries borders, I used the STF and Tactical Response team because they've been doing a brilliant job at dealing with Hostage situations within the Country, I didn't say anything abt them being able to exact hostages from outside their country, next time please read and understand what's written before letting your emotions get the better of you.

Or can you tell me that our STF have failed in dealing with Hostage situations within the Country? Because Garisa and West Gate incidents were all internal issues, so because its an internal hostage rescue that's why I believe S.A could help Kenya with training for such situations.

My main point is that I'd rather see Africans training each other.

Pride aside I'd rather see, S.A being trained in Nigeria for jungle Warfare than by a country outside the continent.

Why did SANDF go to Brazil for jungle warfare training and NA went to Belarus for COIN training? It's one thing to have men who can train others, but it's another thing to have training facilities and advanced electro-mech training simulators and hardware that suit modern COIN warfare. Belarus SF regiment has it's roots in the Soviet Union SF and they have war experience from many years of COIN combat with Mujahedeen in Afghanistan. Only Algeria and Nigeria has that level of modern COIN experience in Africa today, but do they have advanced training equipment with hi-tech capabilities? SF training is more than the bush and field jumping running hiding that you see. There is a hi-tech component behind closed doors in specially built facilities.

How well did Kenyan SF do when El-Shabab held hostages in Nairobi shopping mall? Ethiopian forces got hard hit in Somalia and didnt find it easy. The incident ended in disaster. African training still has a long way to go.

Sending our Troops to Brazil was just to build a bond between nations and it could have been an matter of pride, there are plenty of countries on the Continent that have jungles and I'm willing to bet my life on the fact that at least one of those countries could have taught us what we leant in Brazil. N.A sent you're troops outside because it was a personal Choice, our SAPS STF also specialise in Coin, Belarus hasn't been involve in any serious insurgency issues so you can't pull the whole thing of STF not having being involved in such things.

The one thing we can all agree on is that most African countries have too much pride to ask each other for help, why didn't Nigeria go to Algeria they fought a war that is very similar to what Nigeria is going through and with them it was on a much larger scale.

Kenya could have easily come to S.A to learn about Hostage rescue, Out Tactical Response Teams and STF deal with crazy and well trained Criminals on a daily basis, some of those criminals are former police officers, SANDF or MK members, the fact that our STF has not lost a hostage situation is more than enough proof to show that Africans can take care of themselves.

I will recommend AU begin to develop special forces and train them in Belarus for COIN, look at their photos. African Union needs this capability, a standby force of 1,000 SF will make quick response more impacting than using regular troops for special ops.

.

Raising an AU SF Battalion is a great idea but outsourcing their training would be a Completely dumb idea, it would be better to keep their training within African parameters. You can't seriously tell me that we don't have in Africa what Belarus has to offer.

I'm am more than certain that each member state of the AU would be able to contribute some form of high level Expertise with regards to training an SF unit. The one thing we would need to do is to conduct sufficient research to determine what each country can offer, it will take a lot of time and money but it is the best answer in the long run.

Each African country is definitely an expert at some form of SF skill.

For Example Zimbabwe could offer a CQB course, Tanzania Jungle training, Egypt Desert Warfare, DRC ambush or guerilla tactics Etc...

I only used those countries as examples I'm not saying that they are actual experts in those fields I hope you all see that.

Fact is everything we need is already here in Africa.

Frumentius kindly shut up and stop messing up this thread.
why is it that when it relates with Nigeria then its automatically inferior?
.
your post reeks of jealousy and inferiority complex typical of people of your race.

All over the world, other countries more advance than yours utilize ropes to anchor their weapons for stability, reduced vibration, and thereby accuracy.
a rope is preferred due to its lightweight, non-bulky nature, flexibility and ease of manipulation.
.
stop following patches your leader, hes clueless, all he does is try to poke holes in other people achievements to look better.

Its funny how none of those pictures don't show any of those soldiers holding a MACHINE Gun.

Those are all Sniper Rifles, they use straps to help Snipers take more accurate shots from helicopters.
You can not compare a door gunner to a Sniper.

You're late, Zulu. First off, everyone in this thread knows Zulu is a collective name for goat_fucking south African including a docile retard like you.

Second, while Europe and Japan was basically destroyed during second world war, infrastructure and all, south Africa wasn't. She just had a change of government and social machinery. You're a Slow, dimwit with interrupted geopolitical knowledge.

Julist meleke or Malema is the voice that proved you're a slave of no value. keep hanging onto the misspelling in order to hide your life of decrepit slumming.

As always a fibble minded like you will miss the point. The reason I mentioned those countries is to show that progress takes time, and with the case of infrastructure Europe was in a much better position because they already had the knowledge and experience of building large forms of infrastructure, unlike in S.A where there was basically little or no forms of infrastructure in most parts of the Country. Europeans and japanese only had to rebuild using what they already knew, unlike in S.A where we first had to re-educate entire generations so that they could gain the knowledge needed to build from scratch. We started from the bottom up unlike those countries.

That's why Zulus being nearly 80% of the population have just one billionaire, Patrice mutesape. While 7% whites have over 7 billionaire and have more white female Millionaires than Zulus.

Show me the depth of the cuts I have inflicted on you now.

You claim to know everything about South Africa but you don't know anything, you have once again proven yourself to be nothing but a cretinous fool. There's isn't a D.A member named Julius Maleke.

Patrice mutesape is not Zulu.

Its a known fact that one of the main reasons there are more white billions is because white people had a better head start and opportunities, but the post 1980 generations are quickly closing the gap, more and more black are increasing their wealth, we have better opportunities, within the next 50 to 60yrs Black people in S.A will own more than half the Economy.

you are so foolish to think that Serious change will just happen in 21yrs. Look at Japan,China, UK, Germany & France it took them more than 20yrs to rebuild their country after WW2 they didn't just become Top Class Countries in 30yrs, progress takes time, Economies will rise and fall during times of change and development but in time it will rise again, so what you're saying in complete nonsense.

We have the most technologically advanced fighting force in Africa.

We have only lost one war in our history, and that was against a world superpower...who BTW barely won the war thanks to concentration camps and scortch earth policies.

Single handedly defeated German forces in WW1 and WW2.

Played major roles in the Korean war.

Didn't lose a single battle in the 23 year long border war.

In conjunction with the UN FIB defeated the M23 in a matter of months.

200 paratroopers battled 3000+ Seleka rebels for more than 13 hours, until Seleka surrendered and called for a cease fire, Seleka lost 600-1000 soldiers compared to 13 on the SANDF side.

So what must we try harder at?
