agaugust: add up value of all the metal, plastic, gas, powder, visible and invisible mineral resources or natural resources that can be mined in south africa, it does NOT get close to nigeria's $30 trillion dollars natural resource wealth. let that sink into your coconut head cheesy

.
I suppose you have to have yourself admited at psychiatric hospital. There is no country in the world which has more than $30 trillion in mineral resources. Barrel of oil itself is way far below the price of gold and platinum. I suggest you go back to the school which you attended and demand back all that you ever contributed for your education.

SU-37fighter.:
The only nation in africa through current research analysis that can claim to have more natural resources through than Nigeria is congo.
Even then i believe with more exploration and research,Nigeria should at least be at par with congo if not better.
SA on the other hand has never be proven by any accurate research to have as much resources as Nigeria.
Hell, Nigeria though smaller than SA, has more arable land.
Nigeria trumps SA even in agricultural potential.
From this post which you have just posted I could clearly see that your highest attained qualification can never go beyond high school. South Africa has been proven ages ago through research to have more mineral potential than Nigeria. Let us not even speak of Nigeria because it does not even come any close. Most minerals found in Nigeria are just only traces and can never be mined on the large scale, ever asked yourself why investors are not even interested, because the cost of mining those traces of mineral will be more than the minerals per se. Americans and British left their homes ages ago to come to South Africa brought by most expensive minerals in the world, that is gold, diamonds and platinum. According, to research there is no gold, diamonds and platinum in the world which has more value than those you get in South Africa.

In terms of research conducted by citigroup (2010), which is the most recent, countries around the world which had potential of mineral wealth were selected and the investigation ensued to findout which of those countries had the most reserves. South Africa against all odds was objectively found out to be the richest country in the world by analytical research (http://www.npconline.co.za/pebble.asp?relid=163) and the most sound one to indulge in is this one

NaijaPikinGidi: Young man ... and you think weapons will crawl or fly by themselves to combat zones without satelite generated information in realtime to ensure that man and equipment are radically efficient and effective and precisely guided in battle planning and execution!?? American weapons in the hands of their marines and special forces have been like ordinary stoneage clubs and sticks in their prolonged wars to snuff-out alQeada and the Afghan Talibans ... Credit to their superior satellites tracking and acquiring targets and gathering intel effortlessly you and I know the difference ... Osama and others are now history!

Keep your shiny weapons! Smarter armies like ours are fighting smart with satelite technology and required intel. That is why your BH devils are so defeated to your utmost disappointment!!! shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked
I can't believe that this s.tupid comment ever came from you. Weapons cannot operate themselves, but will always be operated by people. I don't know if you could see where do I lead you to about the use of modern weapons. It doesn't matter how intelligent you are but without the use of efficient sophisticated weapons you cannot win the war. Intelligence and strategising are all abstract and ideological, hence weapons are the one which physically do the job and win you the war.

So tell me do you by any chance go to war zone carrying satellites as weapons to fight with? Did you defeat BH with your weapons or satellites because we all know that your satellites were unable to spy on BH activities which were done under thick bushes, until the US come of some help to deploy their drones. It was only then that they picked up the BH's hidden anti- aircraft guns nicely comourflaged in thick bushes.

iterator25: My friend, intel and strategy does..
Intelligence and strategy all boil down to the tools that do the job, which are weapons, weapons, weapons. You can be as intelligent and strategic as you can but without an efficient and effective weapon, you are as defeated as the devil in heaven.

[size=16pt]Top Ten Military Powers Of Africa Ranked In Order Of Overall Strength[/size]


(1) EGYPT

(2) NIGERIA

(3) ALGERIA

(4) ETHIOPIA

(4) SUDAN / SOUTH AFRICA / MOROCCO / UGANDA

(5) ERITREA / ANGOLA

south africa does NOT even have a single satellite to spy the enemy from space, nigerian space spy satellites will see all south african, egyptian and algerian military forces from a very long distance and plan/execute a deadly counter attack to wipe them out from existence , they wont even know how nigerian weapons h.it them.


nigerian army is watching jacob zuma and his four wives in their home's swimming pool by the power of nigerian military satellites spying from space.

Satellites do not win the war, sophisticated weapons do. Satellites are very slow and you cannot watch any area on land anytime you want to. They are all channeled to orbit the earth from North to South and once it passes the target it cannot go back since it will collide with other thousand satellites in space, including junks. They take long to download pictures and are only good to be used as a research tool, because you cannot used them on a real time war zone. Drones are more efficient than satellites since they are able to defend themselves against fighter jets and can even go on the same spot over and over again. There is no any pilot who would ever risk his life fighting robots with an expensive machine. Drones have the potential to destroy fighter jets in a dog fight. More and more miniature-version of missiles ranging from AAM and ATGM are designed to arm this new technology.

SU-37fighter.:
Idiott.
Even the oil itself is small compared to our gas and bitumen deposits.
We have 3times more gas than oil,and over 2times more bitumen than oil.
We've the largest deposits of bitumen in the world in ondo state,Nigeria!!
And unlike southafrica,we've not even began to mine our enormous solid mineral resources.
All these facts are verifiable online.
It seems as if you are suffering from a mind. Well, I hope that even a retard will apply his mind better than yours. My take was that it has never proven yet that Nigeria is a wealthiest country in Africa, since nobody has proven it through thorough research to convince the world that Nigeria is richer than South Africa and Congo in terms of mineral reserves. Hence it will be very unfair to use such speculations in any academic work because the professors will disapprove it based on fiction and opinion. SA and Congo were well proven by academic research to be the most wealthiest countries in Africa and thus it will be sound to use such as evidence in everywhere even before the court of law.
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by FighterPilot(m): 7:59am On Nov 16, 2013
agaugust: hey mister THIZA, your post is half truth !

the source above is talking about solid minerals only, NOT including oil and gas.

south africa is NOT the richest country in the world when you all all types of solid and liquid/gas mineral resources.

where do you put saudi arabia, kuwait, iran, iraq, qatar, united arab emirates/dubai, bahrain, brunei, russia, algeria, nigeria ?

nigeria is the richest country in africa with both oil & gas plus solid mineral reserves valued at about $ 32 Trillion . FACT !!!



Nigeria has $32 Trillion mineral wealth reserves, highest in Africa.


''proven oil reserves in Nigeria as of 2011, ranking the country as the largest oil producer in Africa and the 11th largest in the world, averaging 2.28 million barrels per day (362×103 m3/d) in 2006. At current rates this would be 45 years of supply if no new oil was found. "

Nigeria and São Tomé have an agreement in which the Joint Development Authority was created to explore and produce oil in the waters between Sao Tome and Nigeria. Nigeria and Sao Tome share this area, called the Joint Development Zone, or JDZ. This area could contain up to, or over, 14 billion barrels of oil.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_reserves_in_Nigeria

"Natural gas reserves are well over 187 trillion ft³ (2,800 km³), the gas reserves are three times as substantial as the crude oil reserves. "

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_industry_in_Nigeria

The occurrence of bitumen deposits in Nigeria is indicated at about 42 billion tonnes; almost twice the amount of existing reserves of crude petroleum. Analytical results suggest that this potential resource can be used directly as an asphalt binder. Most bitumen used for road construction in Nigeria is currently imported.

http://www.nipc.gov.ng/deposit.html


add the barrels of crude oil together, add the gas reserves 3 times the oil, add the bitumen oil sands 2 times the oil reserves. (37+10) add (37+10) x3 add (37+10) x2 then multiply the answer by $100 current market price for oil (nigerian oil grade is the best in the world and most expensive) answer you get is $30 Trillion. then add the solid minerals below...the answer will blow your mind with envy !

coal is 3 billion tonnes, iron ore is 3 billion tonnes, multiply their market value $115 per tonne both rising towards a trillion dollars. there are 34 different types of solid minerals, estimate for them will coal and iron ore $2 Trillion market value for all the 34 solid minerals. nigerian limestone deposit is even bigger than our coal and iron ore value, nigeria is the paradise of mineral wealth and king of africa with no rival.

http://www.nipc.gov.ng/deposit.html

you see why many south africans cannot understand my economic posts, they find it hard to do mathematics when i give them the sources of data. you also see how honest i am and sincere with the truth.

i quoted Congo DRC wealth by copying what someone gave me but he had no source, so i went to find a source and i got Congo DRC total mineral wealth is $24 Trillion

You can change it hundred a times, but the fact remains, you can never change the fact that South Africa is the world richest country in the world in terms of mineral reserves, assessed by highly qualified researchers and not some poorly subjective researched organised by Agaugust. Equitorial Guinea which depend more on liquid and gas other than solid minerals was also assessed to be one of the wealthiest countries in Africa in respect of mineral wealth, so I do not understand your argument by saying that only solid minerals were investigated. Nigeria was even no any near their research as the most potentially rich country in terms of mineral wealth. I don't where have you attended schooling because ever since we were young, during the days of apartheid, SA was known by the whole world as the most wealthiest country in the world in terms of minerals. You can never make Nigeria what it is not by trying to convince us that it is a richest country in Africa in terms of minerals, leave that responsibility to qualified reserchers to do that investigation and unfortunately thus far it was never proven. What we only know is that Nigeria is Africa's no:1 oil rich country and that's where it ends.
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by FighterPilot(m):
agaugust: 13. Nigerian Type 90 anti-aircraft guns is also an anti-missile defence system and its ammunition is in thousands, more than enough to shoot down all south african Umbani guided bombs every time. Type 90 ammunition speed is about 4,000 km/h but umbani bomb speed is about 35km/h to 80 km/h. all the slow snail speed Umbani bombs will be shot down by nigerian army and wasted away.

14. Type 90 AAA guns have both radar and optical mode targeting and it operates side by side with Roland SAM as a team in the same nigerian army air defence regiments. both Roland and Type 90 do easily operate well at night with night vision optical sight infra-red targeting of all enemy aircrafts.

15. Umkhonto missile cannot stop Otomat missile that penetrated all American Navy anti-missile defences with 100% victory recorded. Umkhonto missile has NEVER been tested against a sea skimming anti-ship missile, but Otomat has been successfully tested against all jamming and shooting defences of the mighty American Navy and Otomat anti-ship missile defeated all the formidable defences.

16. Umbani bomb is NOT a magical weapon that will behave like a missile, Umabni remains a bomb forever. it is easy to shoot down, and usually they are used to attack stationary targets like roads and buildings. the 35km/h speed is too slow for attacking even a Toyota Camry driving at 100km/h. you need to wake up from your fantasy dreams of miracle and magic.

17. Gripen jet CANNOT carry Umbani, only the Hawk jet can. Gripen carries only Paveway guided bomb and all south africa has is only 50 Paveway bombs purchased from America. Hawk jet is easy to shoot down by deadly air defence systems like that of nigeria.

18. both Roland and Type 90 do easily operate well at night with night vision infra-red optical targeting of all enemy aircraft.

19. you south africans fight war on internet as if it is policemen chasing armed robbers on the streets of soweto. fools !!!

20. nigerian military commanders are all world class and have tactics to neutralize any attack from south africa and use nigerian weapons in the best way to defeat all south african armed forces.


.
Hehehehe! Hehehehe! grin grin grin hehehehe! Hehehehe!!

How the hell did you make me laugh that way, there is no so called night vision optical mode in all Roland that still exist in world other than those that America tried to modify but the project was later cancelled. Trust me I have worked with missiles at saldanha. Optical mode of Roland require a brought daylight to operate. so that you can align its infra-red gonoimetre to the right angle with respect to the target. Radar is the only mode that can shoot at night because it pick up the target automatically. Bahahahahaha!! Bahahahaha!!! grin grin @ Agaugust. Rolands are old dinosaurs!!!

You know my colleagues just laughed the hell off when I showed them this Agaugust so called night vision optical mode of Roland. Hehehehe!! Hehehehe!! grin grin whenever @Agaugust loses he won't back down but will come with lies.

Your Generals might have acquired multinational training but that will not help them, because with the kind of weapons they have it might not be that easy. The evidence is right there in your backyard with the war against BH which seems to prove very tough for their foreign acquired skills which upto so far have never proved to work. It is no secret that Nigerian armed forces are poorly equipped in relation to their total strength. Your navy has only one warship and who do you think you can defeat with just a single warship or even two of them. Otomat or not wuth such you cannot stop South African Navy that will only exist in your small skull. You will need more ships to achieve such.
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by FighterPilot(m): 1:53pm On Sep 30, 2013
agaugust: 7. south africa's 26 Gripen jets have ONLY ONE single air to air missile each as at today . south african air to air power is limited to only 25 shots fired in the form of ONLT 25 Iris-T missiles.

8. south africa is NOT a super power and does NOT have the American or NATO air power to carry out a SEAD to neutralize nigerian composite air defence systems.

9. no country has monopoly of jamming, you jam the enemy radars, the enemy too retaliates with anti-jamming devices.

10. stop thinking that the enemy you will fight in war, has his own hands tied to his back and his brain locked up in a box. he will retaliate and counter every attack you make with a counter attack. nigerian generals, admirals, air marshals all have world class multi-national training.

11. Otomat missile has in-built anti-jamming devices and so it escaped all American Navy warships missile and electronic defences to defeat the warships. America is 100 times more powerful than South Africa.

12. Roland SAM war history confirmed it shoots down bombs and all British bombs directed into its area were shot down together with the jet fighter that dropped the bombs.






.
I hate people who do not move with time. The first phase of A-Darter project has been completed and SAAF has large quantities of A-Darter in stock starting from this year and the final phase which was also expected to be completed this year was postponed to next year. You must move with times or otherwise you will encounter booby traps.

It is not only super powers who have the monopoly to jam the weapon systems of other countries. Over the years SA has been leading Africa in terms of military technology and we have even developed weapons of those so called Superpowers with our indigenous technology. The anti-jamming system must be integrated on the weapon per se and South Africa with all its defence technology which has also been integrated in British gunships has the capacity to jam Roland. Infact, Roland is nothing.
I wonder how would the mighty American Navy be defeated by just an otomat. What is in this otomat that is so special that you cannot even tell us other than its a sea skimming missile with can stoop to 2m above the sea level. You argued with us when we told you that Umkhonto can stop otomat, you disagreed and then you demanded a source. We provided a source and you further dived to a new argument. It seems that whenever you are beaten in one argument you jump into another.

I don't know what do you understand by 360degree or all round defence, but anyway Umkhonto is the first missile to have such characteristics in the whole world, no wonder you find it hard to believe. SA made missile does not behave like other missile, for example Mokopa is ATGM but can also be used as Anti-shipping missile or Air to surface missile. Same as Umkhonto which is classified as a SAM but does not act like one because it movement is controlled by IR homing and lock-on mechanism.

Lastly, Roland has got such a poor history, of all the countries which had large quantities of it on stock in war have only managed to shoot one or two jets. It was expected to perform better no wonder Sadam Hussain's also dumped it after great disappointments.

Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by FighterPilot(m): 11:54am On Sep 30, 2013
agaugust: the technical answers to your foolish day dreaming are very simple.

1. Roland SAM does not operate alone. nigerian army operates air defence regiments. a mixture of Roland, Type 90, Bofors, Multi-barrel Shilka etc

2. Roland optical mode cannot be jammed like a radar can be jammed, go back read the many Roland sources i posted.

3. nigeria has 300 Roland missiles enough to shoot down all 60 south african jets and helicopters 5 times over and over again.

4. Roland does not expose itself to jamming, it operates under nigerian army air defence regiment that has electronic warfare counter measures to prevent jamming, nigeria just modernized all its air defence electronics with Israel and Indian technology last year 2012 ending/completing now 2013.

5. Britain's all powerful Royal Air Force could NOT destroy Argentina's Roland SAM in falkland war, the sources i posted says the British army had to defeat the Argentine army in ground battle and the Roland was captured intact. google it and learn war history.

6. south african slow 900 km/h speed Hawk jets and 300km/h Rooivalk helicopters challenging Roland SAM will be exposed to the 4,000 km/h supersonic speed PL-9 air to air missiles of Nigerian F-7 jets and properly roasted by the nigerian jet fighters.






.
I repeat, Roland radar system can be jammed easily and is not resistive because is using old technology. America tried to optimise Roland but soon that project was cancelled due to the high costs of having to modify. The Grintek has all the technology available to jam Roland. FACT!!!

Your Roland optical mode cannot function during the night because everything has to be done manually. You will only run the risk of wasting all your purported 300 Roland missiles. FACT!! Visit your nearest airforce base and ask them they will confirm this to you.

All Roland missiles have reached their expiry dates, hence there is a high possibility of almost 80% that they may not function to their full capacity.

Your Air defence artillery guns, mofors et al you cannot use against high- speed fighters like Griffins, those are not helicopters and you will die a miserable death.

With regard to a dogfight, NAF knows well that they do not have the muscle to challenge SAAF on the air. That will be their death trap.

British Royal Air force Runs Away From Roland SAM night combat capability: Falklands War [/size]


Black Buck Two


During the night of 3 May-4 May, Vulcan Jet Bomber XM607 (flown by Squadron Leader John Reeve
and his crew of No 50 Squadron) flew a near identical mission to the first. Vulcan Jet Bomber XM598 acted as flying reserve aircraft.

This raid targeted the area at the western end of the runway
. According to RAF and White's book this was intended to prevent Argentine engineers from extending the runway sufficiently to make it capable of accommodating high performance combat aircraft.

However, according to the historian Lawrence Freedman BB2 missed the runway because of the presence of Argentine Roland SAM.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Black_Buck

if the world super power British Royal air force fighting at night missed its bombing raid target because of fear of going into range of Roland SAM missile, then i will be happy to invite the foolish and less competent South African air force to bring all its jets and helicopters to face nigerian army at night and attack the Roland, it will be dust to dust, ashes to ashes, R.I.P for all the south african air force pilots.

we nigerians promise to give the south african pilots a decent burial if their bodies are lucky to be found in one piece grin
.
Hehehehe!! Yes a Roland missiles are still very potent at night when its radar is still fully functional, but the problem only comes when its radar is jammed to send wrong information through the use of (EW) electronic warfare system and self-protection system http://m.engineeringnews.co.za/article/sa-defence-company-wins-indian-helicopter-electronic-warfare-contract-2013-09-25. Not all fighters are fitted with this system and South African defence company, Grintek was recently fitting them on SU-27s and 30s and Eurofighters and has also won a contract last week in India to fit the system on HAL advance helicopters for Indian Airforce.

Thanks God that all South African fighters are fitted with the system, including Rooivalk which had them fitted on by Grintek.

The very same RAF defeated Roland by midnight operations. FACT!!

Same as Iraq was defeated with their thousands of Rolands, but still air raid ensued.

Believe it or not Roland Air defence system is the weakest Air defence system in the world. Infact, all Roland missiles have all reached their expiry date and are tagged " Buy at your own risk".

I still stand by my word.
Drill number one; Jam the radar system of Roland
Drill number two: conduct your operation only at night and
Drill number three: destroy all strategic defence installations, such as defence HQ, satellite communications stations, etc.


The rest will be win and win and win.

ask DENEL to test your Umkhonto against an Exocet sea skimming missile and show us the test result, since you say south africa is always firing missiles for fun like christmas fireworks grin

.
Is seems as if you have a real problem with your understanding. The Umkhonto system provides 360 degree (azimuth) coverage of the ship, meaning it can go to any angle. I gave you the source to educate yourself about umkhonto, but instead you chose never to read it. The umkhonto provides an all round defence from the water surface of one side of the ship to the water suface of the other side. Umkhonto missile uses an IR homing which guides the missile to the target and the missile will then lock-on. The umkhonto is engineered to swing to any angle to pursue the target. Believe it or not.

Nigeria: FG Redeploys Troops From Mali in North East
By Bayo Oladeji and Joshua Dada, 28 September 2013






The federal government through the Nigerian Army has set December this year as the deadline for ending the menace of Boko Haram insurgents in the north-east zone.

To meet the target, the government has sent more fighter jets to the zone to hunt for members of the Boko Haram sect, who have scaled up their attacks especially on rural communities in Borno State in the last one month.

The government has also deployed troops withdrawn from Mali to man flashpoints in the three states.

[b]Impeccable sources said the plan of the military is to complete the "operation wipe out Boko Haram" by December this year.

The new offensive, according to military sources, "is the final onslaught against the Boko Haram terrorists in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states. Soldiers will comb everywhere for the remaining members of the sect. This mandate is from the Army Headquarters."

Although military officials declined comments on the number of fighter jets sent to the region, a serving general of the Nigerian Army, who did not want his name on print, confirmed the operation.

LEADERSHIP Weekend learnt that an order has also been given to the new 7 Division of the Nigerian Army "to wipe out every trace of the Boko Haram insurgency in the north-east". Other divisions are to keep watch over their areas to ensure "there is no hiding place for them," the source added.

The army general said the new division was set up by the government to stamp out the Boko Haram insurgents in the northeast since the then Joint Task Force (JTF) approach did not work well as the political elite had discredited it.

He said: "You remember, it was the JTF that was cracking down on the terrorists. Ideally, JTF is an ad-hoc arrangement; it should not be a prolonged approach, but they were left there for a long time and the people were complaining against them. The politicians and the elders in Borno State called for their withdrawal. That was why 7 Division was created -- to finish what the JTF had begun; we don't want to hear anything called Boko Haram again by the end of this year."

The source further explained that the essence of creating the 7 Division has been justified as "our soldiers have taken the battle to the terrorists' cells, smoking them out from the hills and, if the tempo is sustained, by the end of October, nothing would be heard of them again".

LEADERSHIP Weekend also learnt that the division has been fortified with anti-aircraft and anti- tank guns mounted on vehicles, and the Air Force fighter jets are being used "to smoke the terrorists out of their hidden places. "Most of the returnee soldiers from Mali are part of the troops deployed to the division for reinforcement," he said.
[/b]
When asked to react to the "resurrection" story of Abubakar Shekau, the leader of the sect, the source dismissed it with a wave of the hands. He stated: "Shekau is dead! Do you hear me well? Shekau is dead. If he were to be alive, it would not have taken the insurgents weeks to come up claiming the dead man is alive. They are making the claim for some reasons. For example, the claim would help them to receive support from those who are backing them for the fear of Shekau and they need the claim in order not to look weak before their colleagues outside the country." Although the army spokesman, Brig-Gen. Attahiru Ibrahim, did not speak in detail on the ongoing war against the terrorists, when asked to comment on the performance of the 7 Division and its assignment to deal with the terrorists, he simply said "the 7 Division is doing well". He referred our correspondent to his address at the last press briefing where he gave a vivid account of the success of the division.
Never ever set yourself the deadline when fighting the enemy.

agaugust: Gripen jet has no combat history

Rooivalk helicopter has no combat history

Umkhonto missile has no combat history

the few tests for Umkhonto missile was against drones/UAV, not a sea skimming 6 feet above water anti-ship missile like Otomat.

DENEL is avoiding testing Umkhonto against a sea skimming 6 feet on water level missile...because south african umkhonto missile will fail that test grin

Otomat missile has many combat tests in both america and europe against a big ship and against all american navy anti-missile defences and Otomat of nigeria passed all these tests with 100% victory


i just posted all these 2 weeks ago, why should i reapeat it ? go ask @andrewza and @saengine if they will be honest at least for once ant tell the truth openly.

you are delaying my NAF vs SAN air to deep ocean war simulation post for today by dragging me back to posts i had spent my time writing in the past.

What you have wrote there above is a crap from someone who is totally clueless about the technology of missiles. What do you know about missile Lock-on mechanism and infrared homing. Those are the latest technology incorporated into missiles to optimise their tracking capabilities. It doesn't matter how low a skimming missile will go because the Umkhonto missile would have already been locked on to a target. Denel does not avoid anything about sea skimming nonsense. They have tested Umbani against a highly manuevrable Skua which is by far manupulative than otomat. A skua can cruise to many angle and even sea skim to the level that you want.

souldust: @fighterpilot it seems the Asian is the one who should not be challenging Blacks when it comes to science.

First, a body thrown vertically upward isnt a projectile since it only has a veritical component. A projectile is a body which when thrown, follows a parabolic path. Such bodies are under the influence of two forces: veritcal and hosizontal forces. Dont take my word for it, you can find out from credible independent sources.

Secondly, there isnt anyway we can calculate for how far the body would go since you didnt give a time (t) in the little problem you put up there.

Thirdly, the formula you gave S=UT+1/2gtsquared, cannot be used to solve for any of the fundamentals of projectile. The fundamentals being: Height (H), Time of flight (T) and Range (R). That formula cannot be used to solve for all the above listed fundamentals because it does not take into consideration the angle of projection.

I hope you have taken a nice lesson from Black people. People you claim are intellectually inferior. People who,according to you, are only good at singing, jumping, running and stealing.

Pls dont take my words for it. Try to find out from credible independent sources.
I am black and my wife and son are also black. Here under is my pedigree;

My great, great grandfather was a Malay whose father was a Japanese and was maried to my great, great grandmother who was an English speaking coloured from Kwazulu natal. My great grandfather was then married to an Indian and my grandfather was then maried to a Zulu wife, but many in South Africa thinks that she is coloured because she still lives. My mother is also a mixed breed from an Irish and Zulu, but she sees herself more as Zulu than Irish. My wife is a Zulu and I have many relatives among Zulus, Indians and Irish but my Irish grandfather could not marry my maternal grandmother because of strict apartheid laws which prevented interacial marriages.

My Zulu is also very good but not as fluent as the real Zulu speakers. However, it is not a secret that Asians are very bright particularly Japanese, Indians and Chinese. It has nothing to do with any racism, only that the truth must be told as it is.

the Roland detailed specifications calls Roland 1 the daylight only version.

it does NOT list nigerian Roland 2 as a daylight only version....simple common sense tells you version 2 is both night and day version.

people dont have to write every single sentence for you to understand simple things, try use your head sometimes, when they tell you A,B,C, you should know that the next alphabets are D,E,F...unless as a fool, you cannot think outside a closed box grin

fool of soweto, nigerian Roland 2 optical targeting works at night because it is NOT an ordinary human eye sight system, it is Electro-Optical with Infra Red night time targeting equipment computer controlled....fool grin

QUOTE :


"The ROLAND 2 weapon system is intended for anti-aircraft defence..... ROLAND ensures the overall defense of a zone of 100 sq km it, comprises a radar with a range of 16 km, a sighting-optical tube with an infra-red locator that measures the difference between the missile in flight and the line of sight of the fire control radar, and a computer antenna for remote control.

After the firing, the optics remain pointed at the target, the computer generates the commands for guidance by using two different groups of measurements while adding to the result preceding the commands necessary to the correction by the real variations of the missile compared to the axis of aiming measured by the infra-red goniometer (optical mode) ."

nigerian Roland SAM will shoot down the whole south african air force in only 5 minutes in day time or night time, FACT !!!

Roland missile has 80% chance of hitting target confirmed in the specifications from source quoted below.

now we all know you are the senior fool, and your two south african friends who liked that your foolish post are your deputy fool and assistant fool grin

.
How are you going to see that infrared goniometre at night to adjust it to the right angle in respect with the target, or are your own sunlight? grin grin grin
Stop confusing people because optical mode can only be used during the day, FACT

I will only take it that you are ignorant to as far as how missiles are operated. I repeat, All Roland SAM family use the same mode of operation to engage the target. Night and day has nothing to do with weather. The weather iare conditions of the atmosphere which involves wind, rain, storm, snow, etc, and has nothing to do with day and night.

Two modes of operations of Roland SAM family are;

-Radar, which remains the best mode of engagement, and
-Optical- which must be used during heavy jamming, but only during the day.

Types of Roland SAMs Missiles

-Roland 1 used only during clear weather
-Roland 2 used during unfavourable weather conditions because it is an all weather missile
-Roland 3 has an extended range

It is only in Nigeria where a day and night are termed as weather. I told you that I have made research about Roland SAMs and its weaknesses, I have even engaged with experts of missiles to gather more information, because I have always heard that it is a weak air defence system at this age and day. My confirmation was indeed verified that Roland SAMs are weak air defence system.

agaugust: Fool grin

that only works for Roland 1, but nigeria has Roland 2 all weather all day all night optical or radar version.

"Roland 1 - This is the fair-weather daylight-only, version used by the French and Spanish armies on the AMX-30R chassis.

Roland 2 - This is the all-weather version employed on the AMX-30R and Marder chassis and also as a shelter mount in either a static location or mounted on a 6x6 or 8x8 all-terrain truck. Euromissile, MaK, IBH and Blohm and Voss of Germany in 1983 proposed the Leopard 1 tank chassis as a carrier for the Roland system to appeal to those countries who already used the Leopard I tank.

Nigeria acquired 16 Roland 2 systems on the AMX-30R chassis"

nigerian army Roland version 2 SAM will shoot down the whole south african air force in 5 minutes, and mandela will no air force any more !

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_(missile)

.
Surely, you have never seen missile before. Roland1, 2 , 3 all have the same mode of operation of engaging the target. What differs only is that one can be used in only clear whether and another during rainy and windy conditions, while the third has an extended range. All Roland system can be penetrated easily without any fuss no wonder the manufacturer also fitted it with an alternative mode of operation which unfortunately can only be operated during the day. Many countries have replaced Rolands many years ago because of its air defence instability while others retained it but supplemented it with new SAMs systems.

I am not going to blame you, all Nigerians from Generals down to their privates have never fired any missiles before, no wonder you do not even know what is the difference between all weather missiles and an ordinary missile. Now, I wonder who is a fool now.

That jet was surely shot from an optical mode of engagement, because if it was from a radar mode it would have warned the pilot long before he could land in a trap.

Nobody disputed the fact that Roland SAMs can shoot down fighters, even F22- Raptors can be shot by Roland. My argument though is its system is easy to beat.

Drill number 1: jam its vulnerable radar system.
Drill number 2: Launch your airstrikes only at night when its only active mode is dysfunctional.

Is that not easy? grin grin

The drill above has proven to work and is what defeated Saddam's dense Roland Air defence system.

agaugust: please stop dragging me backwards to old posts i have argued and concluded with @andrewza and others many months ago. i am getting tired of this forum for this foolish trend of repeating the same post and answering the same question 77 times in 7 weeks.


some missiles last 45 years in service. missiles have storage rules that make them last long.

in year 2002 Morocco's navy purchased 1970 version MM38 Exocet missiles second hand condition from France.

http://portal.sipri.org/publications/pages/transfer/trade-register


there is no source in the world that says military forces MUST test fire their missiles in peace time before they use them in war time, it is a matter of choice.

south africa has only 17 Exocet missiles for 4 Valour warships instead of the minimum 32 required for the 4 warships.

how many few Exocets are remaining now since you say south african navy have been test firing the missiles already 50% short of the numbers needed ? fool grin

no rule says all military forces must test fire their missiles in peace time. it is a matter of choice.

bring your soweto ships near lagos and let us see how they will be kissed by NNS Aradu Otomat missiles. your sailors that witness the event will narrate the story in heaven...or hell grin

nigerian junior/senior military officers and their admirals, generals, marshals, are contantly training and retraining in America, Germany, France, India, China, Britain, Israel, Italy, etc

nigerian navy has no submarine and is training for submarine combat on Pakistani navy submarines, already learning to use the weapons it does not even have yet. how much more the weapons it already has for many years ? fool grin

only a fool like you will think that type of navy is not training to use the missiles it has on simulator or with other navies.

find another story to tell, you just wasted my whole day today and i have not even started writing the new NAF vs SAN frigates air to sea combat simulation...you this foolish time waster !

.
.
Exocets are temporary and SA has indicated that it will only use proudly SA made missile technology, from sea skimming, SAMs, ATGM, etc. No wonder SA is only buying a limited number of missiles and soon we will be replacing starstreaks with our own missiles. We fire our own missiles every now and then in practice. Now tell me where is Nigeria which has never fired even a single missiles on their shelves.

agaugust: if you dont have a brain to think and do mathematics, i will help you with my own for some minutes grin

even now your DENEL manufacturer did not give a specific speed of Umbani guided bomb because of the issues of calculating its speed complexities due to drag, air resistance, and upward-downward occasional maneuvers trying to locate a target.

i repeat, Umbani speed is 35 km/h initial velocity at zero start up from rest and it may end its final velocity at that same speed of 35km/h if the guidance system does the upward-downward random swing to eliminate the gain on velocity of the first 5 seconds after which velocity no longer increases. the video at the end of reading this post. i proved my point.

the only speed anyone can quote for Umbani bomb without error is the 35km/h based on minimum speed gravity can help to achieve.

the maximum 80km/h speed assumes no guidance maneuver of the usual upward-downward movement that makes it to lose the speed it gains from gravity pull when coming down, then now going back upward again. the falling and rising will reduce its final speed near target possibly back to near the initial 35 km/h.

i am very correct. i am still the only person that boldly used science to calculate the speed variations of a guided bomb from initial speed to final speed at 35 km/h start to about 80 km/h finish if not swinging up and down again and again, or else it ends its runs at about the same initial 35 km/h. FACT !!!

show me a source that quotes the speed of Umbani....show me that DENEL source or any other source....

it is impossible to find it .

You've got only a single stick of sweet corn in your hand and all others you have dropped on the way home. I have been reading many of your posts and have seen how your have been lying to people.

Your analysis above about Umbani guided munition is very flawed and technically unsound. I will challenge you to go and research the technology behind guided munitions, because what you are trying to analyse there is just a disgrace of yourself. I know you can do it since your MBA programme has taught you how to conduct an ethical and methodological research.

all these 3 nigerian air defences are cheaper by far than south african Umbani bombs....

...bring your guided bombs and let us waste them for you sir. thanks grin

You will waste your limited number of your missiles for something that is way cheaper to manufacture than a missile. Your poor Roland radar system will be jammed and air strike operations will be conducted only at night where your optical guidance system is irrelevant. Don't tell me about Air defence Artillery Guns which are only effective to a very low flying aircrafts and helicopters. Such we can destroy without any hesitation.

Nigeria military has never fired any missile in their history even in practice. Who do you think they are going to defeat with such a bad record. South African hardwares always see action in Lohatla battle school with live missiles fired. How sure are you if your Rolands and Otomats are still in good condition. Missiles, especially otomats requires to be maintained atleast once a year. The question is does Nigeria know how to operate missile technology?

agaugust: Paveway or Umbani guided bomb is expensive too, like Roland missile.

in war, objective if more important than money. Argentina used a Roland missile to shoot down two British Harrier jet bombs in Falklands war, just to achieve objective of keeping the airport runway available for Argentine air force jets to operate.

your military head-thinking faculty is equal to that of a potato farmer grin

anyway , i never said nigeria must use Roland to shoot down south african guided bombs.

nigerian SAM-7 , BlowPipe SAM, and Type 90 ultra-modern anti-aircraft guns will do the job of wasting south african guided bombs before they reach target.

nigerian air defence is just too solid for any african airforce to penetrate, even Egypt will lose almost all its air force if it dares to enter nigerian air defence systems....and ultar-modern Akash SAM with 35km range is also coming to join the already powerful nigerian army air defences
