Yet some people want that "semi-literate jackboot", to become our President.

iterator24:
back it up with a source or I'll find a snorkel and shove it up your hole

Henry120:
What known fact?

The SAAF has the least trained and experienced pilots in Africa's Big 5.

No SAAF Gripens flew to the CAR, if they actually did, the Nigerian Airforce won't have to do this,

To do what in Uganda, the Rooivalk is a Tin-pot half-french helicopter.

Oya nw! *dancing shoki*...T-72s, not bad at tall...125mm canon, ATGM capability, ERA armour..nice...even though IFVs will meet our needs of highly mobile warfare...let's add some BMP-3s to the mix, BH will be history.

Adminisher:
The army embezzled money to buy mostly second hand T72 M tanks. There are many T 90S tanks available for purchase in Russia. There has always been a deliberate attempt by the military to prolong the war and people's suffering with the complicity of Jonathan. These tanks and 4.5gen combat jets should have been acquired three years ago. Ordinary Kenya has hundreds of these now.

While i agree with you that Nigeria is ahead of Ghana in satellite technology, i think you are very wrong to place the satellite technological know how of Nigeria side by side with the Iranians.
Iranian satellite technological know how have no match in the third world.
While Nigeria still depends on China and Russia for collaboration in the development of its satellites and its launching, the Iranians are producing their own wholly made satellites with ease and also launching it on their own pads a feat Nigeria is no where near.

[s][/s] rubbish talk. Ghana is pathetic? I wonder how you will describe that sh1thole zoo where nothing works! sh1nigeria fuckduppedness

#SAAFGripens2Mexico

I pledge 50 litres worth of aviation fuel to our brothers in the SAAF, and a $1500 donation to the Mexican Airforce.

Yes we have people who can do better, Certainly Buhari is not one of them. You can not do better when you are promising to stabilize world oil price that is beyond your control. We have seen those who did worse and left the railway in the previous comatose state, we don't want to try another failure, Buhari.

Find attached a pic of recently acquired T72 tanks by GEJ administration to tackle BH. The soldiers moral are so high now because these T72 tanks purchased from Ukraine are Anti-IED, Anti Missile and are indestructible unless shot by another tank.

They were purchased as part of the utilisation of the 1Billion dollar loan


Find attached a pic of recently acquired T72 tanks by GEJ administration to tackle BH. The soldiers moral are so high now because these T72 tanks purchased from Ukraine are Anti-IED, Anti Missile and are indestructible unless shot by another tank.

They were purchased as part of the utilization of the 1Billion dollar loan and 77 were bought and are being distributed in the trouble area. Now boko haram are fleeing and they are now setting IED's everywhere but apparently they cant destroy the Tank.
Last week, BH loaded a Toyota Starlet and while passing like passengers, they ran into one of the tanks and made a huge hole on the ground and killed 5 soldiers but the soldiers inside the tank were not even scratched.

It is their massive IED attack where they plant IED and run away and while combing the area Major Umar was killed. A gallant Officer. But with these Undestructable tank, One soldier can confidently drive into BH Territory and cause havoc without a scratch.

I can confidently tell you that 6 BH Tanks have been destroyed by our troops in Yola. BH days are over, attach is a pix of 14 tanks deployed to Adamawa. I decided to share this pix after watching the massacre on the Bridge you posted yesterday

These tanks are all computerized and they use GPS to locate and shoot, that means if you feed it a beacon location on land it will destroy it, it is that accuraate. The triggers are also computerized buttons.

The hundreds who were kidnapped yesterday?

First its the SANDF not SADF.
Second, do you have an idea how hot the Northern Cape is where our soldiers are born?

You can't mend your roof DURING the storm. You've built nothing as a result of Boko Haram. Instead, you've lost money, trust between your men, confidence in your military and the ability to strike fear in the hearts of opponents. Assuming you had all that in the first place.

Patchesagain:
Clueless?

Desert warfare will suit the SANDF perfectly

Do you want to know why?

Patchesagain:
Such as?

Need i remind you that we arent the ones losing town after town to boko haram

South Africa is not considering selling the gripen

One man is suggesting that the gripen be sold

Many private citizens have many opinions

But what citizens think and what SAAF does are very different things

So well done on proving absolutely nothing

Henry240:
SAAF should consider selling Gripens and buying transports
Written by Guy Martin, Wednesday, 29 October 2014


The South African Air Force (SAAF) has 26 Gripens in its inventory but 12 are in “rotational” storage and only 18 Gripen navigators and pilots have been trained to operational status. [/b]Which begs the question: what should we do with aircraft we don’t need and can’t afford to operate?

[b]The solution could be a simple one: sell off the 12 Gripens in storage (since we won’t miss them anyway) and use the money for fuel, pilot training and new equipment that the Air Force desperately needs - its C-130 Hercules fleet is ageing and the Air Force is increasingly forced to rely on charters to move people and equipment to places like the Democratic Republic of Congo, while the SAAF’s maritime surveillance C-47TPs are more than half a century old and suffering from attrition.

While the C-47TPs and C-130s are working extremely hard and are in urgent need of replacement, the Gripens are grossly underutilised. Since 2008 the Gripen fleet has flown 3 500 hours, according to a SAAF official, equating to roughly 135 hours per airframe or roughly 20 hours per aircraft per year, or less than two hours per aircraft per month.

Maintenance for the Gripens has also been problematic - between April and December 2013 the SAAF had no support contracts in place with Saab, with the Air Force only doing basic hands-on maintenance. A support contract worth R285 million (€19 million) was finally awarded in December and is seeing Saab support the Gripen fleet to 2016.

Of the transport fleet, only around three C-130s are airworthy at any given time and only three C-47TPs are available for transport duties. The small fleet of C212s is only useful for carrying small loads short distances. As a result, the South African Air Force often has to rely on chartered aircraft like Il-76s to get its equipment to places like the Central African Republic (CAR) and Democratic Republic of Congo, which can be a very expensive and time-consuming affair – troops have often been stranded while waiting for a chartered flight and a lack of airlift capacity meant the military couldn’t immediately transport armoured vehicles to our soldiers fighting Seleka rebels in the CAR in March 2013.

With the cancellation of the order for eight A400Ms in 2009, the SAAF was left without a clear replacement for the C-130BZ fleet and, since the deposit was paid back to the treasury, left without money for acquiring new transports. Since funding is tight yet the need is urgent, perhaps[b]it is time to advertise some practically new Gripens for sale: low mileage, stored in a nice dry climate and only flown on weekends.[/b]

You don't think like Americans nor Europeans rather you think like a real lackey.

I'm yet to see a black-American telling peeps that his greatest achievement in life - is kissing a white chic.

Only an unproductive and dumb lackey who enjoys being enslaved would make such moronic comments like yours.

Tosin, number 8 is sooo true about men!

The other day, I was buying oranges. I said to the seller, "please give me soft ones cos I want to juice them". Next thing I heard a voice that wasn't the seller say, "why only the soft ones"? I no answer. After my selection, the guy paid. I said thank you and was on my way, when he rushed to catch up with me.

I am usually not friendly with guys I don't know, but decided to change since a new year is approaching. LOL. I even gave him my number, an act I regret doing because na so so super story and Ikebe super gist the guy dey disturb me with since then.

All because, I was nice enough to boost his ego by letting him pay for my oranges.

This scenario happens every time. They pay for stuff you did not ask them to pay for and give you lifts because they want to "try their luck" and not because they are angels sent to make your day.

MikeCZAR:
This is what I hate about sub-saharan armies why not just embark on a modernisation programme on existing rifles.

Henry120:
We currently operate 3 units of this IPV.

The Nigerian Navy are to receive 5 IPV's from the same dutch company.
