agaugust: So how come Seleka killed 13 south African soldiers when supersonic high speed rapid response Gripen Jets and the Rooivalk helicopters were stationed battle ready in Zambia for emergency operations in the region ?The Gripens were sent as reinforcements to the region,to give the C-in-C flexible options. Rooivalk,mobile clinics,C130 and a company of parabats were sent too. |
agaugust: NNS ARADU has a brand new modern radar, and also a new modern anti-submarine detector hull sonar plus it's many anti-submarine torpedoes.So your NNS Arandu will launch 8 missiles "simultaneously" plus torpedoes. And launching missiles to destroy an incoming Exocet missiles. WHAT A JOKE!!! |
agaugust: All south African 1940 world war II soldiers are dead long time ago and its not yet ressurection day according to the Holy Bible I read.Please read sir. South African Veterans of world war 2 are still alive,even Nigerians whom were taken to fight in Burma are still alive in your neighbourhood. |
agaugust: You talk before you think.Nigeria doesn't have any amphibious assault ship to land an entire battalion off the coast of South Africa. Regarding Zimbabwe the only weapons smuggle there are pistols,which are used by illegal immigrants for protection against the guma guma tribe. And please know: On the highest peak of the Drankensburg mountain("Mariepskop" named after the military genius Sotho chief Maripi mashile) sits a radar station,keeping an "eye" on Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Near by is the air force base Hoedspruit,during the bushwar 2 cheeter interceptors were always stationed there(in stand by). This is the same station that detected a MIG 15 flown by a defecting Mozambique pilot,and he was intercepted successfully. I'm telling you this to keep in mind,since you wanna "strike from Zim". |
NaijaPikinGidi: The catfights you had with tiny SELEKA got you running away like antelopes running from a starving lion. I wonder if you are very comfortable sitting tight on your own brain? Read your comment below and see how much your farting buttocks is suffocating your tiny brain!South Africa has many combat kills than any other african country. South Africa is the only African country with the bragging rights,of sinking a submarine(U boat). |
agaugust: Don't be in a hurry wait for my final war simulation of the south african naval blockade. Nigeria has the support ship you don't know about....do good research...Lazy man !Here's the conclusion: While the NS Arandu was trying to sink SAS Amatola with "8 missiles",it is wide opened by a torpedo from SAS Manthantisi. Then all your Admirals scream "OMO CHINEKE OOOOO,GODO bringooo black scorpionoo back",the next day Nigeria goes to the UN to complain about "South Africa's aggression". To save your self from the shame awaiting you on this forum you hang your self. |
agaugust: post source of Umbani bomb's 'fast' speed.The Umbani is a glide bomb with a range of 40km. |
agaugust: I don't rush my things. I am doing new war simulation of combined air and sea attack to sink the whole south African navy in a naval blockade grand finale.Nigeria will be badly beaten back to Abuja,if you ever tried invading SA. With only 12 F7 mostly will be left in Nigeria to defend your homeland against any threat,that would mean South Africa will enjoy air superiority. Meaning to protect your ground forces,your commanders will send all your 19 Rolands to give an Umbrella of protection against aerial bombings from SAAF. But just like in the Bush war, South Africa will use the long range of its G5 and G6 to destroy all your anti craft systems. Then all mechanised units hardware,will be prayed upon by the Rooivalk. |
NaijaPikinGidi: Must I answer that? If I must do, kindly state your definition of combat?Dogfight!!!!!!! |
NaijaPikinGidi: Flew to Zambia and nothing more! No combat, no strikes ... Just the usual tourism by your SANDF. F7s meanwhile have tasted combat and strikes time and again for Nigeria! Empty rant!Please don't tell me about ground bombings,If they're tested in combat show me the number of kills your pilots made in dogfights. The Griffens in South Africa are used for air superiority,and the Hawks take that(ground bombing) role most of the time. |
andrewza: Depends on the tank and size and type of bomb. There are even speciol cluster bombs made to destroy AFV.Cluster bombs are made to destroy large convoys of AFV,tanks or any armoured vehicle. Like the ones(bomblets) dropped by the USA Tomahawk missile. |
andrewza: Once again you show you incopotiance. You are fool that knows nothing. The ocean is not the ground. You the biggest fool and liar I have ever ment that baby you posted knows more than you.Tell him to read about the Fritz X of German(world war 2 era). |
agaugust: if 8 Otomat missiles from NNS ARADU flying 30 seconds apart h.it a south african valour warship, your navy will have no corpses available for burial. you dont know how simultaneous or near simultaneous 30 seconds interval explosion will be. foolAny commander of the valour class warship in any combat situation will keep a Lynx helicopter in flight to find or detect threats. So If any missile is detected,the Umkhonto missiles can be launched SIMULTANEOUS(Launching to the sky precisely at the same time or second) to hit targets. If any missile get closer to 6km,it can be shredded to pieces by the Denel Dual 30mm naval gun. |
agaugust: were you in hospital when i shot down all south african Umbani Guided Bombs 3 months ago in war simulation ? Umbani is NOT a missile, it is a 35km/h horse animal speed bomb, damn too slow for Roland SAM or TYPE 90 AAA of nigerian air defenses.It is a smart bomb. I showed you accounts where South Africa destroyed anti aircraft systems using the G5 and G6 systems in Angola. Until you can show me how you will destroy the G5 and G6 guns in the field,your entire army can be destroyed by 2 G5 batteries + 2 G6 batteries. Each battery consists of 8 artillery systems,complemented by a few MRLS. |
Msauza: South Africa has Umbani which can fire upto 25 KM range. There is no much of a difference between Umbani and missiles as it behaves like missiles. The Umbani is a guided bomb which can be locked on to the target just like a missile.SAAF Griffins use the Paveway II LGBs,but the quantity is unknown. And other "free fall bombs". |
agaugust: DENEL does not have any range 25km as at today.Don't lose touch with reality Mr. How will your troops be transported to South Africa,when will your country acquire a replishiment or support ship?. Nigeria's invasion of South Africa will be smashed and pushed back into the sea. |
agaugust: it is still too short range. fact.Fact is: Denel can upgrade it to a range of 25km,with an "area defence" capability. |
Msauza: Actually, we had one incident where Rooivalk nearly crashed. It was a minor accident that cannot amount to an actual crash caused by the pilot who was flying very low and accidentally collided with electric cables. The Rooivalk dropped to the ground and suffer minor damages with no one injured.Just like the Apache,the Rooivalk operates exclusively on Nap-of-the-earth heights. |
agaugust: no nigerian F-7 jet has crashed since the 3 that happened 2009 to 2011. the F-7 jets have done combat action in mali and borno state and no crashes.No,Rooivalk was ever crashed. South Africa flew the Griffins from Air force base Makado to Zambia,something the Nigerians have never done with their F7s. |
agaugust: .The Denel 35mm Dual Purpose Gun (35DPG) is a close-in weapon system (CIWS) for warships made in South Africa by Denel Land Systems. It is currently in service on the Valour class frigates of the South African Navy. Role Its primary role is to defend against attack by helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft and missiles. It has a secondary role against surface vessels and shore targets, both in symmetrical and asymmetrical warfare and also in law enforcement where accuracy is critical because collateral damage is unacceptable |
agaugust: you mean they fall down from the sky like this....Nigeria crashed 3 of its F7 jets. And that's a A109 a light utility helicopter. In combat or Rescue mission SAAF uses the mighty Oryx helo. |
agaugust: . |
agaugust: so DENEL is now a soldier and Dicon a military man, both going to fight each other ?Denel Engineers will be at the frontlines removing mines,and evaluating new weapon systems(prototypes) which will be "exampled". |
agaugust: you dont know the technology and operations of sea warfare apart from what you copy and paste from DENEL product websites.No,the radar on board the ship or the Lynx helicopter will recognise threats and they will be dealt with. Umkhonto missile!!!!!!!! |
saengine: No source/proof of 30 seconds = not a fact30 second apart. Won't be a "simultaneous attack" like he says. |
saengine: So it's 16 jets all heading to one single target? And 40 jets all heading to one single target? Or 40 jets that will split up and attack their own targets individually or in groups? e.g 5 jets attack radar stations, 5 jets attack air base, 5 jets attack army base etc etc. All 40 jets dropped their bombs on the same target?In South Africa? |
agaugust: ordinary AK-47 rifle gives a recoil. anything that shoots forward with force produces an equal amount of backward force.. Stop lying. The USA has prototype of weapon systems,that doesn't any "force backwards". This shows you don't read about modern weapon systems. Ever since the creation of Mike..ZA's account,he has been schooling you Nigerian village boys. |
agaugust: fool, 8 Otomat missiles tailing each other just 30 seconds apart is a d.eadly simultaneous attack.Simultaneous--» Happening or done at the same time with something else. Your "30 second apart" shows you don't know what simultaneous means. |
agaugust: south africa has no aircraft carrier to fly the Hawk jets and Gripen jets that have ranges of about 850km, for all the distance to support a naval blockade of nigerian territorial waters 5,000km away you fool, 33% south african brainThe South African Navy (SAN) has ordered what appears to be a R42 million resupply of Umkhonto surface-to-air missiles (SAM) for its Valour-class frigates. The order, for R41 986 000, was placed last week Thursday. South Africa in November 2005 joined a handful of nations to have fielded a functional operational anti-missile air defence systems with the successful firing of the Umkhonto-IR from aboard the Valour-class frigate SAS Amatola. Since then the SA Navy has regularly fired the 125kg, 12km-range weapon that carries a 23kg warhead, most recently this year during Exercise Good Hope IV, a joint multinational undertaking with German, where the missile was also successfully fired against a surface target. "We heard it went very well," Denel Dynamics CE Jan Wessels told defenceWeb in April last year. "The system has now been in service with the Navy for three years and all the feedback we get is very positive, it is really performing as advertised and more." Each of the four German-built stealth warships is fitted with a Denel Dynamics-designed 16-cell vertical launch system (VLS) for the Umkhonto (Zulu: Spear) that can be increased to 32. The first naval firing of the weapon took place on November 23, 2005 when the SAS Amatola fired an Umkhonto at a high-speed Skua target drone off Cape Agulhas. It fired a second a week later. Both were fired with telemetry warheads to tell developers at Denel's nearby Overberg Test Range how the missiles were performing. Had real warheads been fitted, both targets would have been destroyed according to the data read-outs. "Both hits were within the specifications. The ranges achieved were even better than those specified," then-Sitron project director Rear Admiral (JG) Johnny Kamerman said in a media conference in 2006. The admiral added the development of the system had begun in 1993. South Africa decided to develop its own system even after sanctions was lifted because high-end systems such as the US Aegis were unaffordable -- "we can't afford the launchers, let alone the missiles," Kamerman explained -- and low-end systems like shoulder-launched missiles were "a waste of time". Land-based testing of the original Mark I ended in July 2005 when the system was adjudged shore- qualified. The testing involved telemetry intercepts of a Skua target drone in various profiles, including low-level, head on and in evasive manoeuvres. The tests culminated in a Skua being destroyed with a "standard warhead", Kamerman said. Machiel Oberholzer, Executive Manager Air Defence at Denel Dynamics, says the 125kg, 12km range missile is now proven as a surface-to- air and surface-to-surface missile in high clutter naval environments including littoral water and land warfare scenarios. "Umkhonto can now comfortably be applied to Ground Based Air Defence Systems (GBADS)," he said just before last September's African Aerospace & Defence (AAD) exhibition in Cape Town, a reference to the SA Army's Project Protector, a land-based version of the missile. Wessels said the land variant will twin the Mk II with a containerised launcher is developed in close consultation with with the SA Army Air Defence Artillery. This will integrate with a command centre and a new three dimensional Reutech Radar Systems RSR 320 also currently under development. Wessels noted that several potential "export customers are already looking impatiently at the system." He says the naval system "is getting a very good name" in the mlitary community, further exciting interest in the system's landwards application. |
agaugust: english language is your problem not mine. the source on Otomat missile i posted says Otomat is configured to have all missiles fired againat a single target. so, NNS ARADU can fire all 8 Otomat missiles against a single target like south african valour frigate. the missiles can be fired one by one and that means a vaour frigate 50km away will be attacked by 8 missiles fired one by one at intervals, but they will tail each other and all 8 missiles will be travelling simultaneously at the same time in a long chain/trail/queue but will arrive on target at intervals of some seconds because they were fired at ships command discretion like 30 seconds apart.South Africa has 24 hawks which can stop all your 12 F7 jets. Don't forget the 14 Griffins,and the other 12 can be taken out of storage if SA was threatened. |
agaugust: i posted few days ago, evidence of arms sales log showing ethiopia and eritrea buying SU-27 Flanker fighter jets and Mig 29 Jets almost every year of the Badme war 1998-2000, the jets arrived complete with russian and ukranian pilots to fly them. where was UN at that time ? sleeping ? no sanctions !A production contract for the Badger infantry fighting vehicle for the South African National Defence Force has been approved and is currently with Armscor, which will send it out to industry. According to Dr Sam Gulube, Secretary for Defence, the Badger production contract under Project Hoefyster was approved in February this year. He said he hoped to see the first production Badger vehicle roll off the assembly line by the end of 2013 and the last in 2023. Up until recently the programme was in the development phase. Gulube said the approval of the production phase, worth R8 billion over the next ten years, had been taken to Armscor. "Right now Armscor is contracting production and ensuring local production etc. I don't know where they are today," he told journalists last week. The production order is believed to be for 264 vehicles, to be placed with prime contractor Denel Land Systems (DLS), which sees it as a make or break contract for the company, as two thirds of its energy is directed towards this programme. DLS is concurrently developing five different variants of the Badger infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). Project Hoefyster is utilising five modular combat turret variants, armed with the home- grown GI-30 (30 mm CamGun) and 60 mm breech-loading long-range mortar system. The Ingwe anti-tank missile system is integrated into the anti-tank variant of the 8x8 armoured modular vehicle platforms. The industrialisation and production of the Badger will be done in South Africa, creating an estimated 2 000 jobs and benefiting more than 100 subcontractors in the supply chain. It will also see the South African Army gain a replacement for its rapidly ageing Ratel infantry combat vehicles. Hoefyster has led to spinoffs, the most important of which is a contract from Malaysia for turrets. In July last year it was announced that Malaysia had signed a 343 million euro (R3.5 billion) contract for turrets and weapons to be integrated onto their 8x8 armoured vehicles. This includes 69 x two man turrets fitted with the South African GI30 30mm main gun and 54 x missile turrets equipped with the GI30 30mm gun and Denel Dynamics Ingwe anti-tank missile system. The order also includes the supply of 216 laser-guided Ingwe missiles and 54 x remote control weapons systems. This contract would not have been possible without Hoefyster. The Malaysian turret deal means six years of work on this project for DLS. Malaysia ordered 257 FNSS/Deftech AV-8 8x8 armoured vehicles, to be manufactured by Deftech of Malaysia, which will be fitted with the Denel turrets. |

Only the first 16 will be made in Finland. They will use South African made armaments and electronics. Like Denel's 30mm gum gun and a range 60mm mortar. And oh the SANDF has a fleet of 1000 Ratels,which can be upgraded to the Iklwa standard. |
