Everyone is now scared or probably don't know where to start but I guess it's better to just post pictures and videos only.

Nigeria just don't have the technological advancement to add any benefit to the Marlin project at all at this moment...and I say this with all due respect.

It will be another A-Darter saga.....all Brazil did was finance the A-Darter developmen, technically they added fokol, the physical development was done by SA alone, and thanks to their fvck up economy they might not even order any missiles in the near future....luckily SAAF has ordered the A-Darter and deliveries will commence at the end of next year.

Also the Nigerian economy is in an even worse place than ours, so I doubt they would even be able to afford financing the Marlin development!

But what I'm hopeful for is a Nigerian-South African Rooivalk mk2 collaboration in the future.
Rooivalk didn't get buyers because South African Air Force ordered just 11 or 12. It will really be difficult to get others to buy if you are not ready to buy minimum of 40.

Nigeria can join the project in the future when economy bounces back(hopefully next year) and we might need more helicopters with time but Merlin missile i doubt we would even think of it at this stage.

TERAZA:
Current needs should never outweigh future threats in a military you equip, train and plan for such. The fact that Nigeria is planing to acquire J-17's and the long term threat of French colonial outposts in its immediate sphere of influence should be enough for NA generals to consider such weapons, including the ever pressing western weapons freeze on Nigeria.

Brazil is in on the development but currently there's no mention to what extent.

The Marlin has already successfully passed its 1st flight tests so in 3-5 years SA will have a credible next gen BVR system similar to the Meteor.
Yes, you are right. But we still need to meet the immediate needs before talking of future needs. we are already fighting 2 major wars within the country and we still lack capacity to build the basic/needed equipment. we have being doing a lot to improve on security for some time now just to bridge the gap. For the french colonies you talked about don't worry about them. we have always being taken care of them.

NEW ARA MRAP to be built by local companies for Nigerian Army.

You posted slums in Nigeria and we posted slums in South Africa. In what way have we compared our city to your slums? It seems you are high or something.

We haven't posted your slums yet but when it get to that am sure you will run just like others did.

Yea. I noticed the date too. I'm just curious about what happened to the tank.
If boko haram had the tank or even destroyed it am sure they would have posted the video everywhere. It would have been a major hit for them.

Henry, I am still waiting for your view on the video I posted.

Yes, we have an airforce but I can guarantee you those guys made a distress call that they were under an ambush. In less than 30 minutes, the airforce should have been able to mobilise an attack on those BHT.
I saw a video or probably a write-up that the airforce can mobilise an attack within 15 minutes zw anywhere in Nigeria so why did they neglect those officers?
I keep asking why the airforce doesn't come in to rescue officers on ambush. Most of NAF videos are offensive. Are we scared of those jet being shot down? What happened to ECM installations?
That video was posted here long time ago by Tinfoil. That was many months ago.

Uhh... this year alone:

Projects Guardian/Protector/Outcome (The South African Army’s Air Defence Artillery Formation)

Phase one (Project Guardian) saw the Army receive the Starstreak short range air defence missile system in 2014 to complement its 23 and 35 mm guns, and received upgraded ESR 220 Thutlwa mobile battery fire control posts, which provide 120 km range radar coverage. The next phase (Protector) is seeing the upgrade of the Oerlikon 35 mm cannons to Mk VII standard with the Skyshield fire control system in collaboration with Rheinmetall Air Defence. Currently work is focused on integrating new radios (Project Radiate) and communications systems and other improvements. The next phase (Outcome) is underway to integrate the Umkhonto missile system into GBADS.

Project Radiate

All four branches of the South African National Defence Force are receiving new digital tactical communications equipment for complete interoperability between services under Project Radiate. Initial production orders for the complete system were placed with Reutech in the 2014/15 financial year and the first production equipment was due for delivery in the first quarter of 2016. Various components include HF, V/UHF, short range and intra platform communication systems.

Project Hoefyster

To partially replace the Ratel fleet, Project Hoefyster will see the South African army take delivery of 242 Badger infantry fighting vehicles in a number of different variants over the next decade.

Project Sapula

SANDF is refurbishing its existing fleets of MRAP's and Soft Skinned transports.

Project Pantile

The South African Army is replacing some of its ageing engineer earthmoving and construction equipment under this project. New vehicles are due for delivery in 2016.

Project Bandsman

This project is for new fire trucks for the South African Air Force. Phase one saw existing vehicles upgraded and new vehicles acquired under phase two.

Project Pirate

This is for the acquisition of a new generation hand-held mine detector. Some contracts have been awarded to Med-Eng and other companies.

Project Teamster

Project Teamster is to replace the mobile field kitchen capability of the SANDF, with field kitchens to enter service by 2017/18. Gas-fired stoves are being replaced by diesel fired units. OTT Solutions and Desert Wolf were awarded the first phase of Teamster, for 15 person field cooking units, in early 2016.

Project Blesbok

This is for new water purification systems, which should be commissioned in 2019. Blesbok and Teamster are believed to be part of Project Swatch, the development and acquisition of mobile camping systems.

Project Assegaai

The South African Air Force is getting the Denel Dynamics A-Darter fifth generation air-to-air missile under Project Assegaai, which will replace the interim Diehl Defence IRIS-T short range missile. An order for the 20 kilometre range A-Darter was placed in March 2015, with deliveries of operational missiles scheduled for 2017. Both South African Gripens and Hawk Mk 120s are being fitted with the missile while Brazil, which is a partner in development, may also acquire the weapon for its Gripen E/Fs.

Project Chutney

This project aims to replace some mobile and fixed air defence radars operated by the South Africa Air Force. Additional funding has been allocated for this in the 2018/19 financial year.

Project Drummer

The fleet of 39 surviving Denel Aviation Oryx transport helicopters this year concluded a mid-life upgrade initiated in 2006 under Project Drummer to keep them flying until the 2020s. This involved upgrading things like avionics and communications, amongst others.

Project Syne

The Navy’s four Meko A200 Valour class frigates will receive a mid-life upgrade under Project Syne from 2017-18. Work will take place over a decade to extend the vessels’ service lives beyond 2035.

Project Hotel

The hydrographic survey vessel SAS Protea will be replaced by 2019/20 under Project Hotel. Tender submissions closed in June 2015 and are being evaluated by Armscor. In addition to the hydrographic vessel, the successful bidder will also supply two inshore survey motorboats and a sea boat.

Project Biro

Three inshore and three offshore patrol vessels will be acquired by 2024/25 under Project Biro for an estimated cost of around R6 billion. The new naval platforms will be built in a South African shipyard with 60% local content required. Armscor is currently evaluating tenders for Biro (which closed in September 2015).

Project Canter

Two existing tugs (De Nuys, built in 1969 and De Mist, built in 1978) were replaced with two new ATD 2909 tugs built by Damen Shipyards Cape Town under Project Canter. They were formally accepted into service in April 2016.

Project Carol

A variety of small boats are being acquired for the South African Navy under this project, including boarding boats, diving boats, riverine patrol boats, ship sea boats, ferries, sailing dinghies, an ocean racing yacht and associated trailers. Five boarding craft were recently delivered, in December 2015, by Nautic Africa.

Project ?

The Department of Defence expects to replace the Navy’s heavyweight torpedo capability by 2022/23. It is believed the new torpedoes will be the Atlas DM2A4 Seehecht, which will replace the existing AEG SUT 264s, which were only intended as an interim weapon.

Project Itambo?


Project Itambo was under consideration by the South African Air Force to acquire a medium altitude, long endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Defence Intelligence is the launch customer for the Seeker 400 UAV from Denel Dynamics, having taken delivery of their systems in 2015. It appears the South African Air Force is now attempting to acquire its own Seeker 400s and is re-establishing 10 Squadron, which used to fly UAVs.

Project ?

The SA Military Health Service (SAMHS) received 20 ambulances in the 2014/15 financial year primarily for border safeguarding operations. Another 36 were due for delivery in the 2015/16 financial year.


Completed projects

Some projects that have been completed over the last decade or so include: African Warrior (upgrading R4 assault rifles); Acrobat (long range 60 mm mortars); Ambition (Gecko vehicles); Arum Lily (Rooikat upgrade); Bioskoop (radar/battery command post upgrade); Cytoon (battlefield surveillance equipment); Jury (Mamba upgrade); Kingfisher (Milan missiles); Klooster (artillery target engagement system); Pigeon (SS-77 upgrade); Ebb (C-130 upgrade); Koiler (intelligence/reconnaissance system for Cessna Caravans); and Ambition (Hornet rapid deployment vehicles for the Special Forces).

Yeah, maybe spend 30 sec on google next time
Am asking for yearly progress and you are giving us plans of your military from 2006- 2023 or more. This is still a budget or plan not what was executed. Believe me, we can list more even though our budget is not as large as you claim.

We all know south Africans have not finished paying for frigates and submarine you bought with loan.
